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

Nexus 4 Chomp SMS users, anyone of you able to attach photos to your sms/mms messages? Chomp SMS force closes when I try attaching photos to messages. Otherwise I like Chomp SMS much better than the useless stock Android Messenger.

MMS won't send running JellyBean 4.2?
We're aware and looking into this issue, it's not a setting, just a compatibility issue with chompSMS and JellyBeans latest firmware. Please be patient, we hope to find a solution for the next chompSMS update.

So basically I bought chompsms and the licence thing and a couple of days ago I had to factory reset my phone and so all my apps were re-installed including chompsms. Only problem I have is that the I have that stupid ad at the bottom of the screen and when I try and enable the licence again, my phones freezes and I cant buy the licence again because it says that I already have it. I've tried looking for it in my applications on my phone and my market but it doesnt come up. HELP!!!! :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:

Does Chomp have group threaded messaging? I can't seam to figure out how to get it to work if it does at all. I'm stuck using handcent at the moment because it does threading, but would much rather use chomp.

I honestly don't understand paying only to remove ads....adaway is still around, people....you just have to go looking for it I'll never pay anyone a single penny to remove ads. If I don't want them there, I'll remove them on my own, thanks!! I don't need to pay someone to remove them for me.

For me it is not about the ads. It is about throwing a few bucks to the dev for the hard work they put in. That's why the ads are there in the first place. I don't mind supporting them. If I like an app and they have a pay app I will buy it. A couple of bucks is a small price to pay for useful software.

I agree, but when the only difference between free & paid apps is the ads I specifically won't pay because that tells me the dev is only out for $$, and that portrays greed....something I will never condone.

Lol really? If the developer was greedy he would of made it a paid app from the very beginning. I don't mind giving some money to the developer for his good work on a app that I use from a day to day basis.

I don't think they have group messaging. I mean you can receive group messages but when you send via group messages you send each message individually. Not sure if developer fixed it yet. That's only thing from keeping me from using chomp SMS for now

I know I am getting off topic, as well as responding to a really old thread, and I apologize, but I just have to respond here. I agree with hp420 that we should not support greedy (or arrogant) developers. However, developers who only add ads to their free apps rather than crippling or time limiting them are the very opposite of greedy--especially one as useful and popular as ChompSMS! They are being incredibly generous, and they are the ones I am MOST likely to pay. Then again, I am about the only person I know who actually pays for shareware on my computer if I use it frequently--partly from appreciation, and partly because I want to give them incentive to keep it updated.

[APP] Facebook Home v1.0

Here's the new Facebook Home app for people who can't download from Google Play Store.
Update first your Facebook and Facebook Messenger app and install the Facebook Home app attached.

There is already a thread for this mate... Why make another???

Agree. He wanted to make his thanks meter to reach 1000. Look now he has 1001. Maybe he's,trying to make it over 9000!!

Actually, according to time stamps this one was first by a couple of hours. I closed the one in General and redirected traffic to this thread.

I probably won't keep it, but the home app is not that bad as a lockscreen. Lockscreen serves no purpose anyway, so... Once you realize you can keep your launcher inside intact, it is not so bad.
What would be really cool is if somebody made like a Flipboard lockscreen app like FB home.

With the new Google Hangout... does this mean no Google Babel?

With the release of Google Hangouts yesterday and the talk of it eventually becoming an SMS app as well, does this mean that Google Hangouts basically is Google Babel lol? Thanks!

It's not uncommon for google products to have different names when in the initial design phase. I wouldn't be surprised if Hangouts incorporated all of the leaked features of Babel. Hangouts is already a relatively-established product and Google has had issues in recent history of introducing new products (look at Buzz, Wave, and the first 6 months of G+).
On a side note, when I mentioned the name Babel to my wife, she said "They named it after the city that God smote for their arrogance? That's bold of Google." I laughed.

I would assume so. I'm using the Google Hangouts app right now and so for, it seems like Google Babel and all of its incorporated features that was mentioned.

I hate this new app. It's sluggish, resource hungry and overall adds nothing to good old Gtalk.

Hangouts has already replaced talk, and I personally think it's loads better, if only more people used it I would definitely consider it a possible whatsapp replacement.
I don't have any issues with the app as some of you have experienced. (xperia s with jb .197)
The real question is, what will happen to g+ messenger? As we now have 2 messaging apps from Google.

It has replaced it, yeah, but you can still use the old Gtalk if you want.
G+ messenger will be gone with the new G+ update.

I used google talk a lot for work, so was kind of worried about this change overall...as i don't use G+ for anything (nor fb for that matter), but also liked how google talk on my phone, and gmail's browser conversation thing sync'd easily...
as far as the android hangouts app, whatever...it works, didn't really care what it looked like...but i will say the chrome extension for hangouts is much better than how gmail integrated. I can now have any number of my work/home machines connected to hangouts without having gmail opened. Not sure if this is how G+ worked before, as I wasn't going to bother using that.
I'm still learning it...but also prefer how hangouts doesn't seem to be archived into gmail automatically...you can set it up to do that, but it doesn't just default to dumping a pointless 3 line conversation into 'all mail'...I know you were able to change all that with google talk, just didn't feel like messing with it.
So whatever in my case...its definitely not worse for me. The bigger problem still is, and always will be, the trends of what people use. I still get numerous fb messages a week despite it being obvious that i'm never on there...then border line threats for ignoring someone haha.
