Texting

Is there a way to receive texts and respond to them on my N7 without using a new number? I think there may be some way to do it with Google Voice, but I'm not entirely sure. Help would be greatly appreciated, I don't like this new number thing.

Why don't you try tablet talk it pairs right up with your cell phone via Bluetooth or wifi. The best part is that you don't have to get a new number either.

Google Voice works fine (as long as you have a GV number).

I'll check out tablet talk.
I could use Google Voice, but I don't want to have to give my Google Voice number out to everyone instead of the number everyone already has.
Thanks guys, I'll post back once I've tried this stuff.
EDIT: Tablet talk is great. Everyone that wants to text/call from their tablet should get this (granted that they don't use GV already).

Is there any free app that does what Tablet Talk does?

Try mighty text. I've been using it on my phone with my laptop. It's free, and you don't have to connect to WiFi or bluetooth

theres also DeskSMS from Koush that sends your texts to Google Talk. Doesnt use the extra battery that bluetooth would use

I probably will but I'm trying to save as much as I can for stuff that I can't otherwise get for free.

Tablet talk is amazing

SyncSMS has been my choice for the last year or so, but i'm trying DeskSMS out.

You can also use the Facebook messenger app or Google+ messenger. Works just like texting.

DeskSMS is good, but don't like having an extra app open to look at my SMS...works well on my laptops, easy to use etc
MySMS was hit or miss, UI is laggy and sometimes SMS wouldn't sync right away.
SyncSMS worked well when I tried the beta, but I didn't get around to purchasing the full version since I didn't use it a lot.
Going to check out TabletTalk later today, since I have been using my I/O N7 a lot lately

You simply cannot go wrong with Tablet Talk, it is the go-to app for everyone looking for that "text/talk from tablet" functionality.

[REQ] Note taking app

Im looking for an app that I can use to take notes while i am in a call. I use my Voicmail a lot and need to write down a dozen or so calls throughout the day. Looking for something that can easily switch between the dialer and the note page as I need to write a note go back in to press delete then go to next message then write a note...on and on and on.Does anyone know of such an app?

Have you tried evernote? It's very handy and syncs with the cloud so the notes are accessible anywhere.

yeah those are good for notes and such but WAY more than need! Just want a simople little app that will switch easily between phone and note. Even a link in the dialer to notes. I think my old HTC Touch ?!? used to pop up a note app when i pulled out the stylus? Something similar to that?

Have a look at Quill on the market, it's a pen taking app, use a stylus or your finger, you can save as a pdf or pic, might be something you would like. If you don't want to type of course.

Hovernote might work for you. It's actually an overlay application that will just sit on top of the dialer, or anything else, and lets you type into it and save as a text file.

Personally I like Papyrus. Works great for taking notes. Not sure if that is what you are looking for though.

I use Papyrus Ex, it's sort of like Papyrus except it doesn't request permissions to take over your whole phone and sniff all your contacts, all it asks for is read and write to SD card. You can change where it stores too, good for when you flash roms or backup, that way you don't lose your notes.

Try Colornote

S note that comes with s3... you can use your finger or stylus to write on pages

Popup snote alternative coming out within a week

Fit planner is a cool planner/note app I have been using which basically gives you a fresh sheet each day to jot on... a new update is coming out which has option to launch when spen is removed. May be great for not TW roms and still have popup style note taking

Do you have a link? I don't see any such app in the Play store, nor is a Google search returning anything.

The new update is up on the play store.. launches on spen eject and closes when you return it just like popup note. Has changeable background and a fresh page with date each day.. great as a journal.. log or just for notes. I am not affiliated with the developer at all I just think its a nice simple app that works well. Check it out
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2

Thanks for the heads up just bought it. Looking forward to trying it out!

Bought it, hate it. No reminders make this app basically pointless. You could open up any note taking app and do the same thing. The buitt in calendar is way better.

thanks man, I just go the phone today, coming from a note 1, so its a whole new ballgame!

My like of it is simply for a popup snote replacement and daily organized note or journal... not intended to set reminders or appointment. That is not what it is for.

SMS App's???

Do you use the default built in one or another?
I was using samsung's default sms app but just went back to what I was using on my dell streak which is Go SMS Pro.
For some odd reason every once in awhile my default sms would sometimes freak out and show no messages at all until I restarted then a lot of messages would be missing after I restarted.
Hoping that Go SMS Add's a split view like the default sms.

I use handcent sms and have never had any issues... used handcent on all 5 Android devices that I have owned....

I'm using a combination of default and Fusion Messenger. Fusion is in beta and gets an update almost every day but it is coming along very well. Yesterday I finally decided to use it as my main app. It's missing MMS at the moment but that is next on the list. After that Google Talk will be added.

I've tried lots of messaging apps but always come back to stock.

I use messaging + goggle voice in the app store. Paid app but same feel as stock and incorporates google voice texts. I hated using the gv app to text and wanted them all in one place. I use google voice for my personal line and the carrier line for work. This solved both problems and let me keep the look and feel of stock.

I think it does bother him. This is the 3rd thread that he bumps up saying the same thing.

Apparently if it's a question in any way shape or form then is in the wrong place to him!
Even if its a question pertaining to apps or themes and which ones you use or why...

Well I've spent countless hours trying to get a good sms app. I've tried them all Go SMS, Chomp SMS (Same Developers BTW), Handcent, AOSP Messaging, Etc... and they tend to get laggy at some point or lack group messaging or both. In other words i'm just trying to share my happiness.
You Welcome.

I would say facebook messenger would definitely be 2nd best in my opinion. I dont like the loading time on it besides that it is filled with features. Textra is just so quick and it just works. By the way anyone who likes the facebook messenger notification bubbles should look into Ninja SMS. Textra and Ninja SMS work great together.

Seems great. Am i just missing something though? The description in the play store says it is semi customizable. I don't see any customization options besides the color of the default icon when a message is received.
Edit: re read the description and everything makes sense now. I thought they had theme options and stuff. Oh well! I'm definitely keeping this app and waiting for their next update. Thanks

Just tried this, haven't found anything as good as Sliding Messaging yet though. It's got three different layouts and the emoji are so much better.

Just tried it and it missing a lot that handcent has. Customize options. Also does not have any themes to it. I think in a few months after a lot of feedback it might be good

We chat is cool with the audio messaging

This kind of annoys me because I paid for Chomp.... Why not just integrate the features. Oh, I know! Let's make a new app to get more money if and when we make it a paid app.... Maybe?

I like the fact that it has emoji integration but the app itself looks hideous. It's attempt at trying to be holo looks like a crossbreed between sense and gingerbread. Nonetheless it works fine.

Differences between Textra and Chomp?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app

Textra seems like a simplified version of Chomp. With the swipe to return to conversation list. You can't change the colors of the chats.

Has anybody tried Invi?
