Emoji won't appear with Go Keyboard app

[mmmirkhah]

Hello all,

First of all, howdy everyone! I am new to this forum, however I've used it in the past via google search.

I just bought a Samsung Galaxy S3 and I downloaded the Go Keyboard app, Go Keyboard Emoji Plug in and Go SMS Emoji. I've gone into settings to select the Go Keyboard as my primary keyboard to use. When I go to type a text, I can pull the emojis up in the tab, but when I select them for a text message, the cursor moves a space, but it's blank. I've sent it, to try and see if it's just invisible to me, but the recipient only got a blank text.

I noticed another forumer posted about it back in October, but the answers weren't really relevant for my situation. Does anyone have Go Keyboard for their emojis? The only reason why I downloaded this keyboard was because I want the emojis to be accessible in the keyboard when I type a text message. Any ideas how to fix this? Or does anyone else know another app that has emojis programmed in it for texting and viewing?

Thanks

It only works if you use Go SMS as your SMS app.

Chan,

When you say "It only works if you use Go SMS as your SMS app" do you mean that I need to select the Go Keyboard as my main keyboard under settings? If so, yes I've already done that. If not, how do I make Go SMS as my SMS app then?

Well you need to download Go SMS Pro first. You're going to have stop using the Messaging app that came with the phone. You will download Go SMS Pro, and turn on notifications on that and disable notifications in Messaging, so all your texts will go through Go SMS.

Hey Chan,

You're a genius, it works. Thanks. I only wish that I could have used this via my stock messaging, but beggar's can't be choosers.

Thanks again!

Go SMS Pro is so much better than the stock messaging app on Samsung.
