Hey all,
Got the Pixel 2 XL and love it so far. Came from an iPhone 7 Plus, and really miss iMessage, but am learning to deal with it.
One feature that I've been trying to figure out how to do is have it so I can send text messages from my laptop. I remember back when I had my Galaxy Nexus I used to be able to use an app to mimic essentially how iMessage allows me to text people from my phone or my mac. Looking for something like that again.
I've tried researching but all I can find are thread's / articles from a couple years ago about apps that seem pretty dated. I tried using MightySMS, but after a certain amount of messages per month it requires a subscription.
Personally, I would have loved if Hangouts still allowed SMS, and that would've been the perfect solution.
Any suggestions?
I'm truly sorry if this subject has been beat to a pulp, as I imagine it probably has. I tried researching beforehand, and as mentioned, everything I found was pretty old.
I recommend and use Pushbullet as my daily driver. It is very light with Windows and Web integration. There is not a native app for MacOS but you can use Noti to sync to desktop. I personally just use the web version with desktop notifications on on any platform. If you have Verizon then there is Verizon Messages which is very robust and allows for syncing to iOS. Also MightyText and AirDroid but they are extremely bulky.
I used to use Airdroid quite a lot, and it was certainly a good program that did what it advertised. The only reason I stopped using it is because most people I communicate with use Whatsapp, and Whatsapp web is better than any SMS app on a computer.
Hangouts still does text messaging (SMS) or at least it did a few months ago when I used it last. Install it if it's not there then click on SMS in settings to enable.

Thanks! I will take a look at Pushbullet and see how I do.

I'm in full agreement on WhatsApp. Unfortunately in my experience (at least in my friends/family circle) it's tough for me to convince iPhone users to switch over to using WhatsApp.

As far as I've researched it only supports SMS now if you have your number ported to Google Voice or use Project Fi. Otherwise you cannot.
You are correct, Hangouts is not able to use your cell carrier number.
I've been using Mightytext for years, LOVE it! Does just want I need without the need fuss. Love it!
I use Join. It does clipboard sharing, notifications, SMS, and more. Has a PC app and chrome extension which should work on mac? It's $5 after a month free. Well worth it. I use it constantly both for texting and to send files or share a webpage from my phone to pc or vice versa. Give it a look

I'll 2nd Mighty Text here. I use the free version and never found anything else better, including PB. MT has a 200 SMS per month limit... I've hit it once in 3 years? I use it on my Wi-Fi tablet too.
+1 for Pushbullet. works great for me.
Mighty text or Pushbullet.
I've seen too many bugs in Pushbullet though.

Not sure who your provider is but I used to use Mighty Text when I was with T-Mobile. Verizon has desktop apps for Windows and Mac, however there can be syncing delays on the desktop versions.

Yeah I guess that's how it works. I must be used to it because I had to test it. It does seem to stay, I think, if you click on the extension and pop out join in a new window. But if you just reply to a text and don't already have it popped out in a new window it will disappear. There's pretty good support here if you want to ask http://forum.joaoapps.com/index.php?forums/join/
I like Join .. BUT .. Google Drive is blocked at work and since this is where it stores files/messages .. I can't use it. I use MySMS to send and receive texts but I might check out MightyText since it had some positive feedback.
I like Pulse.
It lets you sync messaging between multiple devices and the web as long as the primary phone is left on and has service. You can even text from a second phone using it. That's useful if you have a data only sim in a phone or a tablet.
In my experience the developer can be a bit hostile to bug reports when he isn't sure how to fix it or if you make a suggestion that doesn't align with his vision, but the app is well done.
I downloaded Pulse a few days ago it it seems to work well so far. I also really like the look of it.

Any recommendations for sending texts from your PC? The three that I know of are MightyText, MySMS and Browser Texting.

I'm liking mysms
I use google voice with the Chrome extension. It's awesome!
So after using MightyText for a couple of weeks, I had to uninstall. It's been a little buggy at times - sent texts getting stuck and sometimes sending multiples of the same text. Still searching for a good desktop sms solution.
Any other suggestions? I've tried MightyText and MySMS but both had their issues.
phone deck has discontinued their web support.
I'm looking for a new solution, any updates?
New Desktop Texting App
I know this is an old thread but I have an Android smart phone and a Windows 8 laptop and I love "Text Desk". I love not having to pickup and check my phone every time I get a text message. My texts automatically pop up on my PC. I can read it and reply to it right from my PC without ever touching my phone. Pretty sweet! Check out: www dot textdesk dot net!

I've been pretty happy with DeskSMS. It works on your computer as a browser add in and there is also a Tablet app that will push messages to your tablet as well. ON the tablet you can reply to messages the same way you can on the PC.

Thanks for the suggestion tkepk181. I'm still using Text Desk every day. The thing I really like about Text Desk is that it doesn't require ANY personal information at all to use. I don't have to setup an account, give my email address, give my mobile phone number, login with Facebook, Google, etc. I also don't "love" browser based solutions. The native apps always seems to be slicker and more reliable. Just my 2 cents!
Text Desk looks very interesting. Thanks for the tip. I'm definitely going to check that out.
Does anyone know of a text application I can use on my wifi tablet without having to use on my cell phone? I don't mind using a Bluetooth sync application. I tried Pro SMS but it won't work on the tablet. I used textra on my cell phone and I don't want to change it, so the text applications that require installation on both devices will not be what I want.
Perhaps use Samsung's sidesync
I dont think what you are asking is possible or would even be allowed due to security reasons.
Anything like that would surely need permissions on the host device (your phone) via an app.
Side sync which is Samsung devices only has the ability to allow you to use your tablet as if it was your phone.

It has been a while since I used it but this app worked very well to do what you want and it is conpatible with the T-800.

You have to also instal the phone version of the app on your phone and set that up too. Worked great with my Nexus 7. I haven't had a real need for it lately, so haven't set it up on my Tab S.

Odd question from someone who personally does not send a lot of texts. Why can't you just use both? One to text with on your device, textra, and one to sit on your phone and intercept text messages from your tablet, mightytext. Dose mighty text actually have to be the default messaging app to work or can it not just sit there quietly in the background and intercept text messages for you?
I'm using TextNow on my tablet. You can even make calls from it if you have the credits to do so and those are easy to get if you're willing to watch short videos. I've never had any issues with this app.

I just got a Nexus 5x and I'm looking to at least try project Fi for a week or 2. That said I don't feel like carrying around 2 phones all the time. Id like to forward my texts from my old phone but its a windows phone. There doesn't appear to be any way to do that I can see. There doesn't appear to be any text forwarding or mirroring apps that work on windows phone.
Is there anything you all know about it? Even if it's a web portal or something I can log into. I've tried a few different 3rd party SMS apps but they all use the number on the current phone, I cant find one that I can add a different text account...this would be the ideal solution.
Tried logging into verizon messages in the browser and I can get in but the text interface never loads.
Like I said this is only for a week or 2 so even a fairly clunky solution would be acceptable at this point.

Im not trying to transfer my old messages from one phone to another....Im trying to make it so if my windows phone gets a text message the nexus will too..that way I don't have to carry my old phone around with my to check text messages.
Give people the google fi number and have them text that number and if you decide you do not like google fi try and to get the number ported to google voice and forward that to the windows phone.

I suggest you find the section for your windows phone as there will be other people/experts there familiar with windows phones that can help you better than us as this is android.
From my limited expose I would say probably not but I could be wrong.
Hi. BL unlocked and rooted VZ Pixel XL. After root I noticed that I could no longer attach a pic or media to a message using VZ messenger. No matter what I choose I get an error message saying "Message + keeps stopping". Odd thing is that if I select the pic in Google photos and use share, then select VZ messenger I can attach and send the pic. I tried attaching a photo using the stock messenger and have no problems. Anyone else experiencing this?

I have the same issue...can receive mms and group texts just not send them... unlocked and rooted on a Verizon Pixel XL...must be something with root...cuz it worked before that...can anyone else confirm with the OP and myself if they have any mms issues after root on Verizon?
OP did mms work before rooted? I tried Verizon messages but it force closes on me...and Textra and Google messages just hangs for until I get a send failed notification.
I chatted with Verizon they have no clue what is causing it...has to be the root I'm thinking. Never had this issue before on any other device I have had...
Edit: I read your post wrong seems we have different issues . I can attach pics just they never send. Weird how I can receive then just not reply to a group message at all...?

You need to use Verizon's messaging app. Verizon has an app for computers and tablets as well. I also use it on my iPad Pro. Works great.
If you're like me, who hates the visual of Verizon's app, you can use their app to set up on other devices, once it's all setup you can go back to Google's Stock app and you still get your texts on every device

Awesome tip, thank you! I hate the look of VZW's app and never use it, so this sounds like a good solution.
I concur, I abhor the UI, but find it tolerable with a lot of customization. I use it because it is amazingly feature rich. The ability to filter conversations by media, links etc is huge for me. The Glympse integration and auto emojis, as well as embedded image search for quick gifs are things I use every day. The picture editor is ungainly, but also very functional. Scheduled messages, auto restore for texts, messaging features like live typing notification, etc.
Atheistic wise, I prefer Textra, but I always find myself wandering back to message+ simply for the features. Again, lots of customization required to be tolerable. Thankfully it allows for that.
I have a Pixel 2 XL with Android 8.1. I recently moved to Join from Pushbullet because messages sent from the PC were not syncing with my phone text app (Android Messages.) But the same thing is happening with Join in that I'll send a message via the Chrome Extension and the other person gets it but on my phone, I never see what I sent via Join. I'm guessing this might be either an Android Messages problem, 8.1 problem or a combo of both.
Yesterday, I got one to sync and that was it. If it matters, it was a single line message. But then tried a one word reply to someone and it didn't sync.
And just now, I sent a new message (started as a new message in Join in Chome to my nieces). One went through and synced to my phone but the other didn't.
I'm hoping it is something I just need to check and change.
This may not be a show stopper to some but if this is an 8.1 thing, I may need to go back to my Note 8. Hate to do that because I'm really enjoying my Pixel 2 XL and 8.1
Any suggestions?

I use Mighty Text and it works just fine. I send SMS/MMS all the time (several times per day) and have not had a problem with it on 8.0 or 8.1. This is split between using both Firefox and Chrome. I can see text/pics sent on my Messages app on the phone. What carrier are you with? I'm on AT&T.
I'm on Verizon. I thought about firing up my Note 8 to see if problem is there too. Only had this problem on 8.1
While I never had any issues with it, I got away from pushbullet long ago.
if you are open to it, perhaps check out using something like Pulse. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=xyz.klinker.messenger

This is one of the reasons I left Pushbullet and tried Join. But sadly, the problem still existed on the Pixel XL 2. Pushbullet support didn't ever respond and Join Support said it might be a problem with Android Messages. Beyond removing updates on Android Messages or trying a factory reset on my Pixel 2 XL, I've been at a loss to what to do. I'd try Pulse but I think the same problem may exist.

Maybe an APN issue? Try comparing your APN with another Verizon user. FDR seems a bit harsh for this, but I think it is safe to rule out an issue with 8.1 or Messages because it is working for just about everyone else.

I meant the settings within the APN, particularly the MMS. You'll need to compare with another Verizon user and what is published online. If there is more than one (I have 3) try using a different one. Do you have another phone on your plan? Check that one.
Considering the other party is receiving the messages, it sounds more like a display issue with Messages to me. Join/Pushbullet/etc. don't actually send the messages, they just relay them to your phone and your phone sends them. So they must be making it to your phone if the other party is getting them.

Rather than paying monthly for Pushbullet Pro, I paid the one time fee for Join, so I haven't used Pushbullet for a while. I haven't used all of the features of Join yet, but it looks like it can do a lot more than Pushbullet and it's cheaper.
Plus another factor that may affect my experience vs yours is:
I'm mainly using Pushbullet to see texts people send me on my other phone numbers, on a different phone..I rarely use the desktop interface (though I do have it active when I am on my laptop)
So maybe that's why my experience is different from yours
I also noticed that texts sent to short codes that have 5 digits, don't work on Android messages well...I noticed that the Text gets sent, and the service responds, but the message doesn't come through on Android messages... Only on another text app.(ex: your bank)
My point is that Android messages has issues on 8.1 that it didn't on earlier versions and I'm wondering if that's affecting services like Pushbullet in weird ways.
Sorry for the off topic.. But it's sort of related

I like what I've seen from all three: Pushbullet, Join and Pulse. But I truly prefer Android Messages because it just flows better with my Android Wear watch. I sure hope they fix the Android Messages issues in 8.1 and soon.

I mentioned earlier that Mighty Text has never had an issue with Messages. All text and pictures sent from the PC are captured in Messages with no missing/dropped/failed messages. Free version has a 200 message limit that I have only hit once. I use it on my Wi-Fi tablet as well.
I had some weird issues with Join and Android Messages on my 2XL. Sprint Network. Sometimes received messages would show in join but not in messages and other times sent items through join weren't showing in messages. It was sporadic and not consistent. Eventually I turned Android Messages off from battery saving (doze) and I haven't had a problem since.
