Problems with SMS under Kit Kat

Starting with Android KitKat only the default SMS application has write access to the database. So you have to set MyPhoneExplorer temporarly as default SMS app, after some time you will be asked to change back the default SMS app. It was not my idea, i can just implement the new restrictions based on the recommendations of the Android team: http://android-developers.blogspot.co.at/2013/10/getting-your-sms-apps-ready-for-kitkat.html

So, does this mean that every time we want to sync messages or use MPE as the front end for SMS (say, using the Chat function), we will have to reset MPE as the default, then switch back and forth? Or is the "set as default" necessary only for delete, mark as read, etc?

BTW, this sounds like another OS "improvement" along the lines of disabling installing apps to external SD card. Crying or Very sad

Exactly, i am not happy with this but it seems to get common that Android does not care about what the developers think.

FJ many thanks for the detailed explanation. This is a real shame. Perhaps it will be possible one day for myphoneexplorer to also be an sms app and then the client on the computer could control this directly rather than competing with another sms on the phone.

FJ, is there an updated release version to which we should switch, or just continue to use the beta until a new release comes out?

Thanks, and merry Christmas!

Update: Downloaded Beta Version restoring/deleting messages works fine.
But restoring messages are very slow(dead slow), MPE stops responding even for very small backups.

Device : Nexus 4
Android : 4.4.2
OS : Win-8.1
MPE : 1.8.5
MPE Client : 1.0.26 beta7

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Only default SMS apps can write to SMS DB starting from Kit-Kat, so MPE client has to be set as default app.

The code itself was not changed for uploading messages. The Client just requests for the standard-sms-app-permission. So probably the issue with the slow upload is based on the firmware. You can restore a backup also in several steps, just import the backup into the sms-archive and then upload the messages in smaller steps to the phone.
