Is there a android free sms app like 'whatsapp'? - Desire General

cheers in advance

whatsapp is currently being developed for Android and i don't think it should take long. Don't know about other apps though!

You can use MessageNow (http : //messagenow.enflick.com/)

Can't see IPhone emoji's

Didn't know where else to ask this so I'm trying here... My wife has a iPhone.. I can send emoji's to her with no problem but when she sends them to me, all I get is black diamonds with question marks... Anybody know how to fix this? I'm current using handcent but I tried go sms and the same results... Any help would be appreciated.

This was covered previously. Follow the instructions about the emoji part, and you should be good to go dude.

Go SMS works fine. I also have a stock SMS app that allows for iPhone compatibility if you don't want any other app besides stock. Both work fine, but you have to enable group messaging in go SMS.
Flash this in twrp and go into your settings afterwords to make sure group messaging is enabled for your stock messaging.

This is for emojis to be able to view them. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.klncity1.emojifontupdater

I asked the same questions and while back. Check out here and here. I am currently using the second one and it works like a charm. It uses the new updated Google Hangout emojis.
Thats the one I gave him. I just uploaded it to my drop box to make things easier.

If you use Google voice, that can cause an issue as well because it can't process the emojis as the text gets routed through Google

SMS Small App

I did my best to create an decent and free SMS small app.
This can be useful when you want to quickly read/reply to an text message without leaving your current application.
Features:
-send and read text messages in threaded views
-quick access to 5 most recent threads
-communication with native app (through sms database): sent messages will come up in the native apps conversations
What it doesn't (or shouldn't ) do:
-mark messages read by the small app as read in the main app. (see below)
-anything with group messages
-copy/delete/forward/... messages
-show smileys as images (they're shown as plain text), make links,numbers,etc. clickable,...
I tried to mark the messages as read in the native app, and although it worked and the message was read, the native app didn't update his icon nor delete the notification. The unread counter was only reset when another message came in and was opened with the native app. Because of this I decided to not mark them as read at all, so when you would open the message in the native app all counters,notifications etc. would be properly updated.
To run this app, press the recent apps button and look for the sms icon in the horizontal bar (you might need to scroll to the right).
Although no malicious actions are intended at all, this application is in Beta stage (and will remain in that stage for quiet a while, I suspect) and comes with absolutely no guarantees. It might corrupt your sms database, send messages to the wrong persons etc. Usage is at your own risk and application is provided "as is." I recommend to make a backup.

Cyanogen Mod doesn't have Small apps feature.
But, if you have a halo compatible ROM, then you can use it to enjoy the experience!
Dude this is absolutely fantastic, thank you and well done. You should get it into the play store. Props

Glad you like it. I won't put it in the play store (for now) because I'm to cheap to pay for developer account, just to release something for free.
By the way, if you find any bugs, please let me know and I'll try to find some time to look into it. Extra features may also be suggested off course, but since I'm really busy it may take quite a while before I start looking into it.

I looked into it, but I'm afraid I will have to disappoint you. Android doesn't have an api to support dual-sim phone and even unofficial documentation seems to be very scarce.
If someone else knows how to do this, please tell me.

I'm very sorry but I really don't have a lot of time so I probably won't be looking into it.
I suggest to put a request is some related thread from Xperia Z or any other more popular phone.
Thanks a lot for this application, it is time saving
awesome bro its working flawlessly on my xperia m....

Well, I would guess it's because whatsapp and the sms apps use "pre-canned" replies. In other words, I think you can only send one of several pre-determined responses, and not type a message like you would using the phone based apps.
Awesome, didn't even know about this keyboard. Now I want to put the Google Keyboard on with the material theme, and as for messaging you should try Wear Messenger. Its a paid app but I think its well worth it right now, I can reply to texts, read conversations.
Well i saw a guy testing microsoft's keyboard and he actually made it work he replied to hangout's messege i tried too but i didn't made it so microsoft in her app discription says that i have to invoke the keyboard and i dont know how

[Q] Multi-user function

Hi,
We are 2 users on the tab s & we wanna use one same game (sims freeplay) but i did not find a way to allow an app for 2 account. The game need ~700mb & with only 16gb it's huge if i must download the game twice...
Any idea ?
(Sorry for my bad english, ask me if it's not clear )
Thanks in advance !
What Android version are you running?
Is your device rooted?
Doesn't the game offer different accounts? Maybe trough different google accounts.
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Free mobile app
Lollipop 5.0.2 no root.
Yeah, the game save on a facebook account that is connected on the device but it's not really simple to change the facebook account each time. And the android version allow user session (c.f: http://gadgetguideonline.com/android/lollipop/how-to-use-android-lollipop-guest-user-mode-and-multiple-users/)
So, i am using this but if i have an app on my session, i am the only one who can open this app. I am looking for a way to allow an other user to open this app.
Thanks for your answer

Whatsapp for Galaxy Watch

In case you missed that, there is a standalone Whatsapp client for our watches.
https://galaxystore.samsung.com/geardetail/M8T2sIb1Dh
At this time it allows to read/respond messages by typing. Developer plans to add voice messaging.
Works pretty nice and stable
Nice promote Edwin.
Mayby i just download apk
Hi, whats the advantage to the built in Whatsapp App?
But for me personal, when it would show pictures i would buy it it think

You may scroll/read through old messages in various topics/persons - not only last notifications from Whatsapp.
And yes I am also waiting to: view pictures, hear/respond voice messages - which I use intensively ( I hate typing )
The only user feedback I can see is it didn't work dated Sep 2019. Anyone tried the latest update? Does it work now? Developer should let us have a free trial version first, i.e. trial and buy.
Works for me. However I'm wondering how our data is being transferred. It's a modified WhatsApp web interface. Is it being all formatted by the watch or going through the Devs server
