SMS read/unread Apk 1.02

Mark the SMS as read/unread, just like in old java based phones...

Do you miss the feature from earlier java based phones, where you can mark an SMS you have received as 'unread'?

Well, with this small app you can enjoy that feature again.

Now, you can claim that you did receive the SMS, haven't yet read it. ;-)

A note about the permissions used by this app:

Read & write SMS: To mark them as read/unread.

Read contacts: To convert the sender numbers to names, in the way you have saved to your address book.

Notes for reviewers:

I have tested the app to be working on my phone.

1. However, there may be cases, when the app crashes on some other hardware.

In such a case, (before down-rating the app), please "report" the crash to google, so that I can try to rectify the issue.

2. This app, "SMS read/unread", uses the default android database used for storing the SMSes, to mark the SMS as read/unread. Some messaging apps (e.g. Google hangout) do NOT use this default database, but they use their own copy of that database to fetch these SMSes. They may have their own reasons for doing it. Hence, if your messaging app is one of such apps like hangout, then you will not see updated read/unread status in your app. However, the messaging apps, which are provided by the phone manufacturer, *usually* use the default android database.

I had experimented that the SMS read/unread status does show changed in my default messaging app. However it remains unchanged as seen in google hangout, whether I mark the message as read from this app, or from my phone's messaging app.

Unfortunately, there is nothing much I can do about this issue. Sorry about that.

Thanks for trying.
