  • I Was Wrong: the “Android SMS Bug” is Real

    Posted Jan 3 2011 by Chuck Falzone in News with 13 Comments

    Looks like I was wrong in my previous post: the Android SMS bug appears to be real, but dependent on a very specific condition that does not exist for most users. That’s why most people cannot reproduce it.

    Specifically, there is something about certain email-to-SMS messages that corrupts Android’s SQLite database, causing unpredictable results thereafter.

  • The “Android SMS Bug” Does Not Exist [Updated]

    Posted Jan 1 2011 by Chuck Falzone in News with 115 Comments

    Over the past week, a supposed Android bug has gotten a lot of press, both on Android-related sites and mainstream tech sites. A bug report claims that SMS messages intended for one person are getting sent to a different, unintended recipient. Worrisome to be sure, but why has Google taken no action on it, leaving it at medium priority until all the bad press this week?

    My guess is that they have been unable to reproduce it.

  • App Review: SMS Popup

    Posted Feb 2 2009 by AndroidGuys in Software Reviews with 11 Comments

    SMS Popup is one of those quiet, under-rated apps that doesn’t get the recognition it deserves. We’ve yet to see it show up on those “must have” lists that other sites and magazines put together and we can’t figure out why. It’s loaded with features that enhance your messaging options and looks every bit as good as the Google stuff that comes loaded with Android.
