Re: [Ring] What happen to a message ...

[inderaue23]

There is one more thing i noticed today.
I sent a message from GNOME to an Android Ring friend. I watched the animation 
bouncing for a while and then i got the failure x after a while.  It looks like 
my contact was still online and i sent a second message just 1 minute later. 
The message got that little green check and it looked that the second message 
was submitted. Later today i asked my friend how many messages arrived. And the 
answer - and i looked at his conversation - was 2! both messages seemed to be 
submitted correctly. but for me on GNOME it looked as if the first message 
wasn't due to a sending failure ... Any idea?
