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.

Not possible.

Its possible but you are gonna have to talk to the devs of Whatsapp. I know you can receive sms in the "facebook messenger" app. I dont see why it would be any different for whatsapp

Maybe it could be added to Whatsapp Plus

New Hangouts apk

Thanks to user Luke Olsen for posting this https://plus.google.com/app/basic/stream/z13zsdhwxmeoj3ubg04cixyh5tesidmz3ek it has sms integration that is confirmed working
Sent from my IdeaTab A2107A-F using Tapatalk 4

Well, ergonomics seem as ****ty as always. Can't understand how I choose between SMS and hangout channels. Typing a name brings out hundreds of "google+ suggestions" I have never heard of, instead of bringing out my local google contacts.
What the hell ?

Is anyone else having issues with video calling after installing the new apk?

here is a Fix for the Video chat not working...
download this lib
https://app.box.com/s/5utx4s0okhlq7hq73pu2
and paste it into
/system/libs
you have to have root and a file manager (i used FX File Manager)
this will FIX the force close when trying to do a video chat

Hope This Helps

Awesome!

anyone have this working ok in conjunction with the new kitkat launcher/google now? I am getting a lot of hangout FC's. I used the v2 package from this same forum.
Edit: Never mind. Uninstalled the new version and reinstalled and now it's playing nicely.

As far as sms is concerned hangouts works perfectly.

Can anyone receive any MMS?

Yep! I can without any issue.

I just tried with my work phone and haven't received any MMS... Not even in the stock messaging app did I get the MMS
I have no problem sending MMS
I am getting hangout force closes... Randomly

I get FC's with the new hangouts app too but it is only happening with the Google play services update required for the kk launcher

Managed to get a fc when I sent myself a picture. Anyone else?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

Yup fc here

No MMS and random force closes... I have uninstalled and gone back to Hangouts V1....
Really wished it was fully working.. Was liking the SMS integration
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

Why hasn't Google implemented quick reply to Hangouts yet? That was something I'd hoped would have come with this latest version. The interactive and expandable notifications are cool to see a full message content, but it sucks having to constantly enter in the new Hangouts app vs. just hitting quick reply or read with the CM 10.2 stock messaging app. I guess I was just spoiled.
On the plus side, I was able to receive an MMS last night, but when sending one, I get an fc. Oh well. Most people who I want to send pictures too have Hangouts and I just share a picture with them instead of MMS for the time being till that is fixed, or the official update is released on the Play Store.

SMS sync on nexus 7 using hangouts possible?

So before when I has my nexus 4 and nexus 7 2012 I would use tablet talk to sync sms from my phone And tablet. Now that KitKat has come out and the new hangouts integration can I still use something to sync the messages? I would like to not have to stop using hangouts on my tablet.

From what I just noticed between my One and N7 it syncs automatically, I don't do anything for it to happen

I'm looking for this too!!! In the meantime... I use either MightyText or something like that

I'm also looking for a solution to this. I have a WiFi only N7 2013 and a N4. I would like all hangouts messages that go to my N4 to be synched to my N7 and for me to be able to send SMS and MMS from hangouts on my tablet.

Check out MightyText. I'm in the same boat as you only I have a N5 instead of N4. I'm able to send and receive SMS and MMS from my N7 going through my N5. It's cool because you're SMS messages that you send from the N7 using MightyText actually show up on the phone as if you sent them from your phone. However, when you send MMS messages, they don't show up on your phone (I got a pop-up message saying this is has something to do with Android 4.4), but the message does still send. It works really well, and I don't see any significant battery drain using this app.

T-MOBILE group text problems

Does anyone have a problem when people reply in groups the HTC 10 stock app adds your telephone number twice?
It will for example first time XXX-XXXX and then on the next reply it'll add another XXX-XXX-XXXX. If you use a different app it completely stops.
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

I would suggest using Google Messenger for texting. I had a bunch of problems with group texting on the regular app and just switched over.

That's what I did. I switched to another app and it works fine after that. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't something else conflicting with the stock app or not.
