For some reason a couple weeks ago I found myself needing to share internet to a computer while testing out SMSSync.
I went nuts trying to make SMSSync work... after some time I stopped sharing internet through my phone and SMSSync finally started working when receiving messages.

So, as long as I am sharing internet, I cannot make use of SMSSync.

Phone: S3 Galaxy
Android: 4.3.1
App Version: 2.6.1

@cavpollo It doesn't work because it thinks there is no internet on the device? By not working you mean, it wasn't posting messages to the configured SyncUrl?

If I remember correctly, the behavior was that even though the app recognized that an SMS had been received, it wouldnt call (or get an answer from) the ConfiguredUrl while the phone was sharing/tethering an internet connection.

Im not sure if it called it and it didnt catch the answer, or if the url call never happened at all after the sms was recieved, because my tests only queried data from the url and never posted anything.

If I can be of any help, let me know. I still have installed the 2.6.1 version.
