Hi has anyone got the beta version of this which is supposed to be available or a working version of this or something similar? I went on to their website and put in my email and all it said was thanks for your interest which was useless.
If you're not sure what it is, it's an app that reads out text messages and emails while you're driving. I need something like this as always seem to get texts while I'm in my car.
Thanks
they might just be testing the water asking people to send there email so they can see if it's worth developing for this platform thanks for the share i will also be keeping an eye on this one

Not sure if this has been asked yet, searching didn't give me any results anyway - but apologies if its been asked.
HP Touchpad + HP Pre3 connect and the tablet can be used to read text messages etc along with a few other features
So, I was wondering if anyone has fiddled with trying to get Android to connect to WebOS for SMS/Missed call alerts?
closest thing I can think of right now would be using Phone Portal to connect your Motorola device. It uses WiFi and the browser.
Wish there was a way to do that.
Have you tried DeskSMS? It sends your SMS's to your Gmail.
Might be any good?

Nice one! I think that could be a viable option until someone figures out how to either make an app for android/webos to do it, or something more advanced.
I was just about to post this, theoretically it shouldn't be impossible to achieve although I'm far from an expert in the area (read: not an expert at all). I'd happily donate to any developers which could create a patch for it, as I'm sure would many other touchpad owners.

Glad I could help!
I was reading somewhere else about this, Someones looking to transfer by bluetooth, as any other option currently would no be viable apparently

Yep, I'm expecting a bluetooth app for it.
Must admit i'm annoyed with how restricted the feature is - i mean the car, tv, and pc can all get text alerts from the phone. (Actually that's a lie, the car stopped getting text messages when i went to android)
So i'm sure its doable, its just a matter of getting a dev interested in doing it - unfortunately I wouldn't know where to start.

Well aint you all fancy!
My phone bearly gets texts messages nevermind anything else!
There's already a discussion about this.

See the last post in the thread.
Port your number to google voice. Then I have txt sent and missed calls going to email.
Okay, right now im in this club, i really dont want to explain much about it as i try not to reveal my personal info to the internet but there are ranks and stuff (similar to Boys Scout), so far, im managing alot of things but one of the most tiring and annoying things are forwarding any reminders/events/etc.... You see, our teacher sends me a text message about an event/reminder/etc... and i must forward it to others. The fact I got to keep clicking through each person annoys me since the list gets bigger and bigger
Im creating a blank app right now, just to make it run 24 hours in the background (Im very new to this and im trying to make it work).
If anyone can make me a source that whenever i receive a text message from my teacher, it automatically forwards it to others. Now, im looking for the source only, I can add the numbers and rest later, im trying to play and test as much as I can and this can be a good start
ONE THING THOUGH! If my teacher sends me a text message, i want it to forward AND appear to me also but i dont think thats a problem right?
If anyone can whip up a source for me to add to my app, that would be really helpful. If this works out well, i can probably make a good app out of it and give it out to others who come across my position.
Thanks!
Late last year I switched from the iPhone to the Galaxy Nexus and really enjoyed using Android but I did have a few issues. Once Jelly Bean was released, almost all my issues were rectified except for two major ones that I couldn't get over and ultimately forced me to switch back to the iPhone when the 5 was released.
First was how poorly HTML email was handled in the GMail app. The emails were almost always blown to absurd proportions which forced me to scroll back and forth just to read it. This morning I was pretty excited to wake up to the news that in version 4.2 of the GMail app, it would incorporate pinch to zoom which should make this a moot point!
The second major issue was the inability to be part of group conversations with my friends & family who almost all use either iPhones or Blackberries. I understand that this feature is not important to a lot of people but the lack of this feature is a deal-breaker for me. I tried using all the replacement SMS apps and they were all clunky, buggy, or both. I also tried getting people to install 3rd party apps like whatsapp or groupme but they never caught on.
I've had the iPhone 5 for about 3 weeks now and to be completely honest, I'm already bored. I want to go back to an Android device and preferably the next Nexus device that will be released at the end of this month (assuming it DOES have LTE which, if lacking, would be another deal-breaker for me in 2012/2013). So does anyone know if Android 4.2 will have group SMS/MMS and if not, is there even an expected time-frame for this feature!?
Based on the amount of stars and replies this issue has received on the Android Code page, I'm sure there are many others who would greatly appreciate this feature finally being included.

Mods-
I probably should have posted this in the Q&A thread. I'll post it there so please feel free to delete this thread. Sorry about that.
The stock text messaging app on my gingerbread Droid 3 supports group SMS, never knew AOSP didn't have this feature yet. If someone sends me a text that went to multiple people I can see everyone it went to and by default any reply I send replies to all.
Every Sense based Rom I've ever used has had the Group MMS / SMS option.

I think you're talking about iMessage? If so, I agree, it seems great.
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
No not talking about iMessage and Sense based ROMs do NOT incorporate this feature (I previously had the HTC One X and it didn't have it). What I mean is that when I get a group text message from people, it comes as an individual message from the sender and I'm not able to reply to everyone in the group. On an iPhone or Blackberry, when you get a group text message, you see all the people in the group and can reply to everyone and it will handle it as a threaded conversation in a chat window. This has nothing to do with iMessage (on iPhone) or BBM (on Blackberry), it's simply a group text message. It's currently the biggest drawback of Android IMO.
Very surprised more iPhone to Android switchers don't find this to be a major hindrance. Based on the lack of replies, I guess I'm in the significant minority and that's why it's not being addressed.

I agree with you. I've been using Handcent SMS as a temporary fix, but I've read that code already exists that adds the functionality to Google's messenger. Now we just wait for someone to bake it into a ROM.
Verizon's stock messenger program handles threaded MMS messaging too, but it's the ugliest program I've ever seen. I don't recommend that eyesore over Handcent.

I've been able to Group message on my EVO LTE (Pre-Defined Groups & Manually added Contacts), I'm not sure what is different.
Haven't used anything else but I'm able to send & recieve on my EVO LTE. Sense 4.1.
Not really solving your problem but Sense in general has had Group SMS.
Messaging>Menu>Group Message
Is there any possibility to integrate SMS`s between two different devices(like a smartphone and a tablet) with different numbers? I loved the possibility to send SMS from my Galaxy Tab 2 but I would like to integrate it with my phone(a Galaxy SII).
I am really surprised as to the lack of fuss over this issue as well. I have two cousins that I constantly wish to group message with for planning purposes, both of whom have iPhones and it drives me completely nuts that I can't do it natively.
I'm in the same boat as well. What the heck Google.
Having serious issues sending whatsapp messages and receiving. Just curious if anyone else is...
Same here ?
Sent from my 920 using Board Express
WhatsApp is not yet fully compatible with WP8. An update is expected to be available soon.
Curious, what region are you? Because is not showing at all in the Windows Store here in NY.
I got it before they removed it from the store.
I use it on 7.5 and have stopped updating it when updates come out as it keeps getting worse. One of the things I wanted to see in WP8 was the ability to revert to the previous version for when developers release ****ty versions of their app and you want to use the old one.
Ya it sucks. I wish there was an alternative as good as it. Also, when I get a notification, it doesn't show the name I have set for the person in my contacts list. Its like its picking up some other name from another app or,something.
I have numerous issues, which i guess everyone seem to have. Other than no Video support (I used send and receive videos from my family on my One X ..not any more), all other issues seem to have been identified by the whatsapp guys. See link:

They blame Microsoft..!
I need this aplication
Its not very useful anyhow. I hope we get a working version soon.
For the people that uses KiK messenger, I'm sure you've noticed that you don't get heads-up notifications and you can't expand long messages from the notification panel, either.
I'm curious whether anyone has any idea why this is? Why doesn't these features work with KiK when it works with any and every other app? I've tweeted @kik on Twitter and they didn't respond. I asked a developer of one of the modded KiK versions and he didn't answer me and even on a discord group regarding KiK modification and no one bothered to answer me. Is it some sort of secret that no one is allowed to share? Is there some reason so common that everyone knows about it and hence just don't feel like answering it? Because even Google searches doesn't bring up anything. It's like the little family secret that uncle John plays with kids and everyone knows about it, but no one talks about it.

I mean, the app itself is pretty ****ty, sure, but I didn't compare the app to that. I compared the fact that no one seems to be able to tell me why the notifications doesn't work, to that. Sort of like, everyone knows it doesn't work and potentially why it doesn't work, but no one wants to say it.
