Congratulations! This could change a lot. I wonder if I'm the first European user to install it? Anyway, when I open the app, I get a notification stuck in my notification bar, telling me I am tethering wifi, and touching the notification makes me go to my Settings app where I can turn it off. I can't seem to get rid of the notification, is this normal? I'd love to let it run in the background. Galaxy Nexus, 4.2.1.

One of the phones I have been testing with is a GN 4.2.2. I get that notification, but only for a couple of seconds. Can you still navigate around the app and create a message?

Btw it will chew up your battery pretty good if you leave it on for a while.

Yeah, it just sits in my notification bar when I pull it down. Can't push it away:

Maybe I was wrong in assuming this would be something you'd just run in the background, I thought that was part of it.

Not currently, as the battery drain will be pretty harsh. Perhaps in an update we could make an background option that looked infrequently.

EDIT: Now I see what you mean. Yes, that will persist.

Perhaps something where it activates for a few seconds to gain fresh messages?
