App stops detecting SMS

Hi,

The app recently started to stop detecting SMSes after running for a while, i.e. SMS was received by phone's SMS app, but no action taken by app. I tried SMS Forwarder's Send Test Message and it works.

Any idea how to figure out why this happens? Thank you.

The app registers an SMS receiver that should always listen for new messages in the background, even when you close the app. I suspect that it might be getting killed for some reason -- could you please check if background execution is enabled for the app? On my device this setting is located in SMS Forwarder -> App Settings -> Battery -> Allow Background Activity.

I have also done a clean install on one of my spare phones; I'll leave it running for the next few days and see if I can reproduce the issue.

Hi!

Thanks for getting back. Yes, Allow Background Activity is enabled for SMS Forwarder.

When it did not work earlier, I killed both the SMS app and SMS Forwarder, then restarted SMS Forwarder first.
That still did not solve the problem, but I did not pursue further.

Upon reading your email now, and making the battery check, I decided to test it again, this time, it forwarded an SMS.
I will monitor further and see there is a consistent way to reproduce it.

Thank you.

Hi,

I think I found the issue, my setup is SMS Forwarder -> HTTP -> XMPP, things seem to be breaking between HTTP and XMPP.
Sorry for the false alarm! Will get back if I do see issues between SMS Forwarder and HTTP.

Thank you!
