Back on the G1, i used to use Contact Sender. It was quick and simple.
It doesnt work with Android 2.0 and up.
I tried the premier, but it doesnt work with my G2. Using CM6.1
I started using CIACS Contact Sender, which works for numbers, but not for the rest of the contact info...address..etc...
Contact Sender(premier) works however, I have to click a few extra things each time i want to send something...then choose the sms button to actually get it to send.
Also on (premier) I cant type a name to auto filter contacts, I have to manually scroll :/
Anyone else experiencing this?
Does anyone have any recommendations?
Thanks.
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
Anyone have experience with a good app for texting from phone using the PC?
I've tried a few apps but cant seem to find a decent/stable one. I'd prefer something that has an independent desktop app unlike MightyText - just allows for so much more usability.
SMS2PC seems nice, when I can get it to work. Lately I havent been able to get it to work.
Are you looking to completely monitor you incoming texts overall or are you just looking to be able to have individual conversations with someone?
If I'm just looking to be able to text message someone I just use a messaging client like AIM or yahoo. I've used Mighty Text when the sms feature on my phone was screwed up. It worked ok for what I needed but I wasn't impressed with it overall.
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?

newly verizon galaxy nexus owner, in setting up my phone i was looking to for app that would automatically forward any text messages to an email (gmail) address. i had one working on my droid x before, but i noticed its no longer available in the market place.
has anyone found any that do work?
thank you...
I use SMS Backup to backup texts to my gmail account. It works pretty well. Even has a customizable "backup incoming messages X minutes" with one minute as an option. That would serve the purpose you want right?
it would be pretty close to what I need, I need to get to the default in box without a label. that way if I get a text message on my work phone, I can view the message on my personal phone or laptop on a weekend as it would show up as an email.
The program that I used to use was sms2gmail.
