Talkatone Texting Issue

I’ve been very happy with using talkatone over vtok. The biggest drawback to Talkatone has been the poor handling of text messaging. I’m able to get all text messages but most times I have to refresh the message screen in order to get new ones. It’s an odd issue because calls come in 100% of the time (unless the app is a 4+ back on the multitasking list). If anyone has had any success with the issue I’d love to hear about a fix!

  1. Hey Derek-

    I use Line2 and Talkatone. Youre the first person Ive heard mention the issue of an app being a certain number of slots back in the multitasking list… missed incoming calls has been my biggest problem with VoIP apps. Do you know if theres any way to prioritize those apps so they dont drop too far back and miss incoming calls?

  2. Yeah Jed, an app goes to the top of the multitasking list each time you open it. I keep talkatone in the top 4 and seem to get 9/10 calls. I havent read anything about an app getting preference by being closest to the top of the multitask list, but it seemed to be the case so I make an effort to keep it there. Line2 looks interesting. Do the texts come through better with it? Talkatone seems to only check every 2 hours for new txt messages.
