Pioneers Festival 2013 – We were part of it

Posted in events by mysms

“Stop dreaming. Be a Pioneer.” From October 30 to October 31 the Pioneers Festival took place at Hofburg Imperial Palace in Vienna, Austria. The event had a clear focus – start-ups and innovative technologies. This year about 2.500 people were part of the event and the mysms team was right in the middle of it.

mysms was part of it

We were very proud to present mysms to all pioneers on the first day of the festival. At our own showroom we shared our passion for mysms with lots of interested people. The demonstration of mysms’ functionality was stunning experience for the community.

Sharing our passion

Besides our showroom we had the chance to listen to speakers like Chris Barton (Shazam), Eric Migicovsky (Pebble) or Adam Cheyer (Siri) in the stunning halls of the Hofburg Imperial Palace. Moreover we had a look at some other great start-ups and innovations and were also at the After Party, of course 😉

A great event!

In a nutshell: The Pioneers Festival 2013 was simply awesome. Not only the amazing atmosphere of the location, but also the inspiring attendees and speakers made the event very special.

We’re very looking forward to be part of it again next year!

Google released the newest version of its operating system last week: Android 4.4 KitKat is out! It comes with improvements and great new features. However, that means that we also need to adapt our mysms app to the changes.

If you’re already on the latest Android version and using mysms, you’re probably experiencing some issues. mysms is currently not working smoothly using Android 4.4. But we’re already working on an update which should be available soon.

Sorry for the inconveniences. We’ll keep you up to date on our social media channels (Google+, Twitter, Facebook, Get Satisfaction).

Update (November 07): Today we released the first update for Android KitKat. mysms is working smoothly now on Android 4.4.

[quick tip] Multiple pictures are now shown in an album (Android phone)

Posted in mysms quick tips by mysms

We love sharing our greatest moments as pictures via mysms. How about you? Until one of the latest updates, every single photo had to be opened separately to watch it full screen. So the view of multiple pics was kind of annoying for some of you. That’s why we provide you with this news 🙂

Swipe left and right to view the pics

Showing your friends where you are and what you experience at this very moment is very easy with mysms. The cool thing is that the attachments are sent via a link. So if you send them via your mobile carrier, you will only get charged as usual for an SMS instead of an MMS.

Since one of the latest updates, multiple pictures are shown in an album on mysms for Android phone. That means you don’t need to open each file separately. Simply open one picture and swipe to the left or right to view the other ones.

We hope you like that improvement!
