[Q] Transferring Txt to Computer.

Hey guys,
I want to transfer all my txt logs on to my computer so that I can make a copy of some of them. Any idea how to do this?
I am using stock txt app.
Thanks

Try searching the market for an application to do that.

SMS Backup + backs them up to Gmail

I took advantage of the option to port my sprint number to Google Voice. I have no complaints at all. It works flawless for me. I know there were some mixed reviews about it, but I like the fact that all call logs, text messages, voicemails are all stored online automatically. I archive them the same way as I do my gmail. And they are easily searchable. I also use the Chrome plugin that throws my inbox into my browser where I can text from from a dropdown rather than use my phone when I'm at home. But, it's all preference.

Did you use your sprint number or google voice? I'm doing the exact same thing as you but sometimes my google voice texts aren't pushed to my phone

Cloud text...the best way to text

I have been using this app and wanted to turn everyone else on to it. This app keeps your text messages synced in the cloud and enables you to be able to send and receive text message on your computer. If I send a text from my phone, it still shows up on my computer and vice versa. It is really nice to have my phone on the charger, and while I'm using my computer I can read and respond to my text messages without having to ever go get my phone. And best of all......IT'S FREE. Check it out.

Looks a lot like Google Voice SMS.

Also another app called AirDroid lets you text through your computer browser

Correct me if I'm wrong (I'm not 100% certain) but isn't Google Voice SMS just a sms scheduling app? This app I posted about actually uses your existing cell phone number and lets you text business as usual from the phone but the texts stay in sync in the cloud, and gives you access to them (send, receive, compose, etc) from the computer.

What I like about this one is that you can use the browser but you don't have to. They also have a windows and a mac app too. I prefer to use the windows app so that I don't have to keep the tab open with that site. Also with the windows app even after a reboot I still get my messages on the computer.

Oh that windows app sounds nice.. Thanks for the info gonna check it out

I used deskSMS
It is similar to mysms, and it is free, but you can use it only through browser.

Yeah I saw a few browser based ones. What got my attention about this one is that it actually has a windows app that I could install to my computer. That's cool because when I boot up my computer I'm able to handle my text messages without having to do anything. The only complaint I have about it so far is that there are no audible text message alerts during a call (just like the stock sms app).

Today I've noticed it doesn't sync the existing mms messages. But it will sync mms messages that come in after you install the app.

Google voice does this. I use the chrome extension all the time

Google voice sends text messages via the google voice phone number.

A friend of mine was using MyPhoneExplorer. It is only for Windows, so i didn't try it. But he told me that the app has a notification system integrated, and you can also answer a call through the pc.

is there additional battery drain with this since it is syncing your texts to the cloud?
Thats one reason why i switched from GV to my regular number, the reliance on data to send texts got annoying with low signal and also drained battery

I think voice typing is better

Outbound, the server can send any phone number but I don't know how it can receive without the phone being on.
The messages can be sent out via a phone or browser but the phone is the key in receiving since the number is physically ported through the carriers to your cell.
So your phone receives the messages and uploads it to the server for viewing everywhere.
Neat. Would be cool using on my tablet.

Great for those who constantly flash roms, like me lol

Thanks for letting us know, a friend of mine might find this very useful. They always thought it was cool that I could send and receive SMS messages from my Google Voice Chrome extension (or the web page, obviously) and they'd always get frustrated when they'd forget to use one of the sms to sd backup apps before flashing a new ROM, but I could never convince them to use Google Voice because they didn't want to switch to a new phone number.
Are there be any possible privacy issues with storing your SMS logs on this companies servers?

how to send contact via sms, event the stock sms also can not send this kind of thing, maybe Google is missing some thing, isn't it??

will it restore my messages from the cloud to the phone?

[Q] Google Voice and MMS work now? Sort of.

My friend just sent me a picture to my google voice number. I received the text message part just fine, but the actual picture was rerouted to my email address associated with my GV account. So I received the picture! Can anyone else confirm that this works for them?
I can't seem to respond from my email account back to my friend with a picture, nor can i send a picture from GV to my friend in response. But this hasn't ever happened to me before, so I am a little excited!

Yes, this the new and half-baked MMS feature in GV. As long as you've got GV set up to email a copy of your messages you can view pics and whatnot via email.

If they're on Sprint and send you MMS then you will receive it in your email inbox. This has been true since Sprint started integrating GV.

Truth but I never like the combo specially if you have bad sprint reception SMS would get delay and drain too much battery

I have been wondering about this, does it email you EVERY text or just the ones that are big enough to be mms?
Sent from my... wait... I don't remember what phone OR ROM I'm using anymore!

Just an FYI, T-Mobile doesn't support MMS to Voice yet. So, MMS sent from a T-Mobile number won't reach Voice, but MMS from Sprint will.

yeah, as it happens, she is on Sprint, but she sent it from her iphone. I tried doing it from my work phone (iphone on verizon) and send one to my gv number from my gnex, and neither worked. Sorry to rehash old news, I guess.

Every SMS is sent to email. Best way is to create a filter so that all "SMS From" subjects you set to auto read and archive and label SMS.
That way when you do get a real MMS, you can go to Gmail real quick, pull up the SMS folder and see the SMS email with the picture.

Yes, as I said this is very old news. Sprint GV users sending MMS to other GV users gets forwarded to their email.

is this still working for people / does it work with all carriers?
I tested it a while back, sending an mms from my sprint phone to a secondary gvoice account (not the one associated with my number), and it worked fine.
I've had several people on other carriers try to send me MMS to that same gvoice number, and none of them worked. Has anyone had it work for other carriers?

I'm trying to test it out as we speak. Enabled forwarding to my email address. Only getting SMS, no MMS.

It only works coming from Sprint users who have GV integration. Its not working in any other situation.

No because MMS to Google Voice only works with Sprint users.

I just set up the Voice App on my Photon Q (with Sprint) have my Sprint Number enabled as my GV number. Had friend send me a MMS from At&t went to the standard MMS app on the phone. Didn't show up in Voice or Email. I don't have sms to email turned on because it alerts me 2 times (once for email once for text). That isn't very efficient and rather annoying.
I just adjusted the settings to forward SMS to email and the same response... The MMS went through on the phones stock messaging app even though google voice is set to receive all Messages...
This would be super cool to have working seamlessly!

MMS to Google Voice number from any carrier
I was having problems with sending and receiving mms from my Tmo Note 2 and needed options.
I install "go sms pro" (free)
It works well with sending and receiving mms through the app.
I tested it out on GV and I can send a pic mms to my google voice number and it will pop up in my inbox as a text and can see the picture.
The only thing I am trying to find out is how to send mms from GV number to my cell ???
Any thoughts.

Moto 360 sending text replies twice?

I use hangouts for regular SMS and when I send a reply via voice on the watch the person received it twice...?
Anyone have any similar issues or suggestions?

I have had this issue. It shows up twice in my hangouts but only one instance on the other end.

Yeah... it's borked here too. It appears to be using the Messaging app to send texts even though my default sms client is set to Hangouts.
How long has Google had to get hangouts right?

I'm using 8sms now which fixed it entirely

My default is set to hangouts but it will still send a SMS via my carrier # and not my Google Voice #....which really sucks.

[Q] Texting Over Wi-Fi? Also a Question About Google Hangouts?

Hello everyone!
I was wondering if it is possible to text someone just by using your Wi-Fi. I don't have the best of service, so I often get text messages really late. Is there any app that I can use that will allow me to receive messages over Wi-Fi? I've heard about Google Hangouts before, is it a good replacement to use instead of the stock messaging app? Also, what don't you like about Hangouts? Thanks a lot for your answers!

+1 :good:

The above statement is accurate about Verizon messages, not a bad app either. Hangouts works great for video chatting and phone calls over wifi too but if you are just needing messaging, I would go with Verizon messaging as the other user of hangouts would have to have a gmail account. While I realize most people do, now, have a gmail account I have found many people do not want to message in Hangouts.
