Connect to mobile (SMS, Whatsapp)?

Hi,
I just got my Nexus 7 a few days ago and am wondering if anyone has come up with a solution to connect the tablet with my mobile. What I would like to do is receive and send text messages on the tablet, routed through my phone and if possible the same with Whatsapp.
I know you can get Whatsapp working on the Nexus 7, but not with the same phone number as the mobile, at least not at the same time.

Tablet Talk App
This is quite nice for SMS and it also alerts you to phone calls.
Doesn't do whatsapp, but I have no idea what does

I use tablet talk wicked app

personally, i use MySMS..

I went with Tablet Talk and it really is great.
Anybody know of a solution for Whatsapp?

Maybe email the developer of Tablet talk and ask him about adding support for whatsapp

From the reviews I am reading, it's pretty amazing. Sounds good.

I sent a feature request for Whatsapp support - I'll report here when I get a reply

I restored my whatsapp to N7 by titanium, and receiving the messages on both devices N7 & GNexus

he is right, just make a backup with TB on your phone, then just copy the 3 achievement to the TB folder on your tablet, do the restore with TB and it work, i have it on my Iconia A100 and my phone :good:

This app works flawlessy in my opinion.

Koush (ClockworkMod) has just released TabletSMS, works a treat. Easy set-up with a free trial period as well.

I'll give restoring whatsapp a try. If it's as easy as that...

Tablet talk is very simple and it makes getting text messages and phone calls fairly simple using the app. I barely touch my phone now that I use this app at home.

i also used the Titanium method. Do you receive the same message on both devices? When I send a message from my Nexus 7, I only receive the response on my Nexus 7, not on my phone. The same when I send from my phone, I only receive the response on my phone only. So in my situation i can not receive the same message on both devices. You can?

Mightytext
I've been using Mightytext. I really like the computer apps/notifications and that it uses my phone number. It works in the N7 browsers but no apps or notifications as of yet.

Great app and the developer is responsive to feedback and fixes bugs quickly. The opposite of ROM Manager

After being a user of Tablet Talk for a year now:
1: no issues with WiFi/Bluetooth not connecting
2: no ass ugly UI
3: big developer with longtime user support and base. This is from Koush, as in Clockwork Mod and many other great apps.
4: Syncs to Tablet but the subscription also syncs to the browser and GTalk if that's your thing...
All in all I have been using app by Koush for over 2 1/2 years now and never had an issue, he deserves my $5 per year

This app is awesome well deserving of 5$ a year. The ui isn't hideous and it works ALL of the time.

Spam pushing app
I installed this yesterday evening on my phone. and then my tablet.
not 30 minutes or so after and nearly all night i get spam pushed google email address and sms to my phone... After uninstalling the app it stopped going to my phone NOW My email this morning had 13 messages everything from sex chat invites to insurance and home loan sales companies..
Is there some terms i did not read that says it will do this. Is there a hidden or secret settings.. IM VERY ANGRY Because the only way this can be happening is my phone number and google information given out. Makes me quite concerned about what rom manager might be picking up now.. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE .. I would think a Developer of this caliber would not do this ...
PLEASE Respond rom manager......

Or maybe your just getting notifications from your spam box? I don't use desksms so its just a guess... does it do email notifications?

the spam is using a tag line something like offers from desk/tablet sms and so on .. then the spam message .. i GET NO SPAM IN MY GOOGLE EMAIL Account. i give it out to nobody at all. its definitely coming from this app..I am in total disbelief that he would do this.. Thou at the same time i have cwm premium and thou i have the adds turned off im still getting them.. So maybe its how they do business....
when i check my email if there are more i will report the app to GOOGLE OVER THE PHONE... ..
lets hope the email i send to developer has put a stop to this .

Sorry to hear that, I tried to search tablet SMS on gplay and the top result was for mysms and my mysms tablet, when I searched tabletsms up came the OP version,l.
After seeing your post I decided to try mysms, it only needed my mobile number and a password nothing else, it took a few minutes before syncing sms' on first run to my N7, but it works great, don't think it supports Bluetooth, for me this would be an extra luxury than a necessity at this moment in time.

Does Koush's app still add @desksms.com email addresses to all your contacts? I tried it when he first started posting it to forums and it took forever to get all my contacts cleared up.

I dont think Koush would ever do something like this. Im not calling you a liar or anything but I have been using apps developed by Koush and ClockworkMod for years as well as using DeskSMS now for a few days and i dont have an issue.
I would contact him before saying that he did something that may or may not even be his fault. Trust me with the access that Rom Manager has or Clockwork Recovery has, spamming a user with sex messages is the least of the damage he could inflict... just saying
*could it be you signed up for something else and not Koush's (ClockworkMod) TabletSMS?

If you hit the dreaded "sync Google contacts" button.
I've been using DeskSMS for the last year and a half, and the only "spam" I get is if I misconfigure it.

Sms, yes we can! (Lte version)

Hi to everyone is interested. After the root of my Nexus 7 2013 Lte I'm restoring my app with Titanium from the backup of my old Galaxy tab 7. I have tried to restore Messaging app and It worked!

Would this work with the WiFi (non lte) version? Previously, I installed the MMS apk from my note 2 and it didn't work on my non-rooted nexus 7. I had to go with Google voice to get MMS. Any ideas?

If you don't have cellular service there's no way you're gonna be able to text. that's awesome that it works on the LTE model though, makes me wanna pick one up...

will we be able to make phone calls on the LTE version with an xda hack? i want to put my simcard from my nexus4 into the nexus7 LTE model
thanks

It makes me want to pick one up, too. You know, if it were available in the US and all...

I deodexed the Mms.apk from my Nexus 4 (Android 4.3) and put it on my N7 LTE. Worked perfectly. If you also want to use the original JB Mms.apk, here are the steps:
1. boot into a custom recovery
2. mount your /system partition
3. adb push "path to your/Mms.apk" /system/app
4. adb shell chmod 0644 /system/app/Mms.apk
5. adb reboot
And that's all. Original 4.3 SMS App for your N7 LTE

Good to know. Thanks

When the LTE tablet comes to the US, this hack probably won't work on Verizon Wireless. They specifically put an SMS / MMS block on tablets upon activation. (So even the sim card swap wouldn't work.)

all you need to do to text from your tablet is use this app. It ties to your phone number and text come and go via wifi. I use it and almost never text from my phone anymore. It also works inside of gmail on your pc, or has a chrome extension and works as a tab in chrome. There is almost no lag between the time the phone gets the text and when it appears on your tablet in both send and receive. I highly recommend this app.

Nifty. Yeah, that would work even with an SMS block because it bypasses the cellular network entirely. Good find.

Phone number harvesting for future text ad revenue maybe?

You can use certain SMS apps on WiFi only. Like whatsapp. You download the app from the whatsapp website, install and select your country and enter your phone number in and press OK. It may take 5mins. After it will fail and you just enter the number you received on you phone and type it into whatsapp on Your tablet.. Tada.
Note. You can only use whatsapp on one device.

Voice+ from CM with Google Voice and stock mms.apk (or any other texting app) is another method for texting with your tablet, but only with your GV number. I was also using Desk SMS with Tablet SMS, but That hasn't been updated in a year and don't know how I feel about paying for an app that's no longer supported, but it works well, though SwiftKey seems delayed when entering text in that.

Just use go sms pro, that works well and doesn't require root or overwriting mms.apk

I use Tablet Talk. Great for SMS, MMS and Phone calls. It links with your phone via WiFi or Bluetooth.
I also have Text + installed. Works over WiFi. You get an actual phone number for your tablet.

Apparently the ability to set a default SMS client is completely disabled in the 4.4 factory image for the LTE Nexus 7 (2013). This appears to have been done at the framework level (much like tethering being disabled on ATT). Hopefully someone will be able to write a similar patch soon.
You should still be able to receive SMS via the BasicMessageReciever in the mean time.

It's awesome how there is now no way to delete SMS messages because of 4.4 so I have to root to kill them all.

I've tried every possible apk. Modified the framework-res.apk (fc's on boot). I'll look into it from source code. It's in the telephony.apk and framework.

Deleting the text storage should be easy fixing the default and menu is another problem. It's funny because I have the Wi-Fi only version and I was using sliding messaging to text with Google voice but it does SMS like it would on a phone so I still had this problem even though they weren't actually normal texts.

1) You must have latest whatsapp version installed on your device (2.12.7) or (2.11.561) (see it in settings>Help>About), if dont have it, install one of attached apk.
2) No root is required.
3) To get invited, Msg me on whatsapp (and only on whatsapp)
4) Answer my watsapp call.
