I have noticed some of you appear to be answering posts from your Gtab and have the XDA app signature.
How can I send txt msgs from a NON Rooted Gtab? Is it even possible and what app would I need to do so. I use Handcent on my EVO and love the app but it doesn't seem to send txts from the Gtab.
Any help would be appreicated and Thanks in advance.

Sync sms Is a paid app on the market. You need to have a free dropbox acct to use it. Sends the text to your phone, then the phone actually sends the message.
Works fine for me

What market did you find it on please?

I use Google Voice to send txt from my GTAB.
Free App.. and free to send txt..
I'm not sure if you can get GV without having access to the market though.
@ tekrhino,
Did Google Voice on tablet and phone, work perfectly. Thanks for the assist with my thx.
Now to get the XDA App to work on the gtab, .... 1 hurdle at a time.

@rdisanza,
Can you list the steps you used to install Google Voice on your tablet. I have tried a number of ways explained here in the forums but with no success. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Google voice question
I saw this post and squeezed in some time to set up google voice. It did work in that I could send texts but I'm not sure what is happening. Is google using my droid x phone's text account - that is am I eating into my monthly texting amount with Verizon when I text from the g-tab? I tried calling my google voice number and my cell phone rang. I didn't answer it but left myself a voicemail. Interestingly enough, Google voice converted it to text and sent it to my gtab. When I send a text from my g-tab I get a copy on my droid x. I tried looking for additional configuration settings on the google voice website when I was signed in but if they are there then they are well hidden. I'm sure that with enough futzing around I'll find the right settings and being able to send and receive texts from the g-tab is awesome but I sure would like to know exactly how Google is playing with my cell phone. I don't think you can set it up without a valid phone number to verify with so you have to give them your real phone number. Experienced users - please chime in.
Wasn't hard at all, just DL it from the market. Make sure to load the Settings also.
It will then guide you through the setup which is really easy.
However, I have decided to remove it from use because it disconnected Handcent from my phone and I really like Handcent with all its features much better and since Iwill do very little txting from my Gtab and do most all my txting while mobile with my EVO, I see no real need for txting on the Gtab.
I will continue to search for another way to txt from the Gtab as long as it doesnt interfer with Handcent on my phone.

@ dig'em
Square 1, as you can see by my last post, I wasn't happy with the Google Voice situation so I will ask you if using Sync sms will cause me problems as well. Since I would be paying for this app, I'd like to know if you know any downside to it. As I stated, I really like Handcent on my phone and I would like to continue using it. Will Sync sms interfere with it on my phone to your knowledge? Any light you or anyone else can shed would be appreicated. Also, can you send me the market link for this app please. I am having trouble locating a market that will allow me to DL to my Gtab.
Thanks again

The only thing with syncsms is that sometimes it takes a minute or two for the text to be received on the other end. The outgoing texts will show up in handcent just like you sent them from the phone. (that is actually what the app is doing, so yeah, it uses your phone texts from your plan (if not unlimited.

@ dig'em,
Do you have any idea where I can DL Syncsms to my Gtab? All the markets I have on the Gtab either will not let me DL or they say I already have DL'd it to my EVO and instruct me to pick another device. When I attempt to pick another device, either it won't let me make the selection or if it does, and I hit install, nothing happens on the Gtab.
I have it DL'd on my EVO and its running in the background. I have also noticed it placed two new folders on my DropBox, sms_out & sms-in. Searching my EVO with ES Explorer but I can't seem to find the .apk so I can copy over to my Gtab. I have also sent emails to the Developer which he responded to very quickly, but my last email to him hasn't been answered. In that email, I told him what I just said above and asked if there is a place where I can DL the .apk. Even sent him proof of purchase.
Can anyone assist me?
Thanks in advance,

You can use bluetooth file transfer (free in the market) to send apps between devices, make sure BTFT is installed on both devices. So from your EVO you can send the apk to your gtab.

@tekrhino ,
Thanks for the info however, I can't find the .apk on my EVO. Used ES Explorer and can't seem to locate it. Found other .apk's in Sytem>Apps but not the .apk for Syncsms. Any idea's? Also, neither my EVO or my Gtab are ROOTED, totally stock.
Thanks again

Textfree is available on the market. I use it on my gtab, nook and inspire and it works great. If you switch from one device to another it will log you off the service on the previously used device before you can log in on the new one.

BTFT Will Find it for you, in the menu look for "send applications" it will compile a list of what you have installed. Check the ones you want to send.

I'll do what I can to help you out.
Best email program - I only have exp with Gmail & TW email. I like them both
Organize programs - AppZorter
sync music - there are a bunch of software that can do it: Kies, Samsung Media something, Media Monkey. Google it & you'll probably get more results than I listed
here is a list for you buddy on what to remove and not to...

to get the apps sorted better i prefer using a different launcher. Launcher pro is the one i use but any of them will put them in alphabetical. Cant believe samsung dont have an option in touchwiz to do that, seems quite a basic omission.
email i just use the stock one but k9 email is also pretty good.
not sure what you mean by the voice commands, you should just tap the home button twice and the voice control screen comes up
Best email: K9 Mail.

point is the standard everyday user shouldnt have to come to xda and download a modded theme just to get the app drawer showing alphabetical. Its a pretty standard request from everyone and a pretty big omission from samsung.

true and i fully agree with you and the way you sort folders in touchwiz is pretty **** compare to the go launcher..but still i think the update of touchwiz fixes all of that now
I am looking to turn my eris into a pure mp3 player for my daughter. she uses it now for that reason, but it doesn't need the dialer, phone book or anything else like that on it. to me its just wasted space. i am open to suggestions. is there a rom out there that i can use that will do this? i have searched and found nothing.
I'm not 100% sure you can remove phone and dialer stuff without getting force closes on that process. I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure those can't be removed.

this might be what you're looking for...?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216571
you don't need to remove the dialer, contacts, phone .apk's, but with most launchers giving the option to hide certain programs, you could hide them and those apps would only be accessible when going into Titanium Backup or Manage Apps within the settings. at least that's what i did, just in case i need to activate the old eris in an emergency and need the phone functionality, since all phones can make 911 emergency calls even after deactivation.
EDIT: just happened to be browsing that thread, and saw a few posts from you, so maybe this is old news to you! lol, anyway, hope this helps if not, cheers!
Ya know removing the dialer and stuff wouldn't help you free space anyway because that is stored on the system and your mp3s are on the SD card.

That works perfectly, thank you very much. and you guys are all correct on the removal of the phone book and dialer. and everything is already on the sd card, i was just trying to clean / speed things up a bit. i appreciate the response from everyone.
I've been wanting the same thing. But I've decided to make it a home phone that is relatively always plugged in and use sipdroid to set it for inbound and outbound calls. I occasionally use it as an example mp3 player. I may try breaking the ROM apart, but honestly just use a startup disabling app like systemtuner productos or autostarts.. That can literally disable everything from turning on at boot. And other trigger points. Freezing sometimes breaks the ROM depending on what it is.

I've been asking if workshed wants to make one last ROM for the Eris which encorporates that script into it as well as removing every system app not necessary to making it a wifi enabled music player, but he seems to be busy with his other ROM development. I think I'll be making a thread about it, that way if a dev is interested in making it, they can take it from there. Sort of a dev-shopping thread. I've been meaning to for a little while.
Hello everyone, my name is Bryan and im new here. Hopefully I haven't broken any rules as I post this thread, but my friens told me about XDA and said that you guys here could help
I finally upgrade my Sprint account to the Motorola Xprt. Whether you like it or not, its a huge difference from the HTC Snap running on Windows that I had. Ok, so I am having a hard time tying to figure out a few things and thought I would ask the community and see whats the outcome.
First, a few of the key things I like and had with the HTC is the ability to use my personal sounds files for my Text messages, incoming email, power low, new voice mail, etc. I cannot figure out how to do this. It took me about a week to figure out the "adding a folder named ringtone" trick to my Micro SD card so I can access them separately from my mp3 music. Any ideas as to how I can change the tunes to my own?
Second, the Alarm really is very low when it plays, if I am streaming music or playing mp3's, it doesn't play the sound files that I want, but a default one instead. This is critical in my line of work as a driver, I need a cat nap every now and then, and I like to stream music when I nap, so its imperative that I can get a louder alarm clock that enables me to play my own files.
Third, On the old Windows platform, when someone called me and I missed the call, it would be right one the screen in list form, one missed call and Voice mail. On this phone, I have to tap and drag the small top part of the screen to view my missed calls. Is there a way to have it as a list instead?
Fourth, On the HTC Snap, I used TCPMP to stream music from different websites. The cool thing about it is that I was able to add my own personal music files and playlists. That way as i am driving down the road, if I lost connection, it would bounce to the next line and play stored music until I got into a service area again and I would simply just click on the websites link again. Is there a software out there that will let me do this?
Fifth, Google Voice prefix's. again on the Snap, I had my Google voice set up on phone and my contacts had the prefixes on them as well. When I switch phones, I logged into Gmail, and followed the steps to move over my contacts. Ever thing went fine. The only problem is that this phone is so much faster than the Windows, that it speeds right through all the numbers and commas before the female Google voice has a chance to say anything. Is there a fix to this? Here below is the way its set up on my old phone. when I call Airtran to check a flight during peak hours, its prestored into the contact as this Airtran
my gmail number,,password,2,8002478726# So is the solution to simply add a ton of commas to make it slower? Or is there a real fix for it?
Appreciate any and all help..

First, try putting these folders on your sd card and filling them with whatever goodies you like
/media/audio/notifications/
and
/media/audio/ringtones/
Second, find an alarm app in the market that you like. Keep trying until you find one you like. If you have a crappy speaker then you are SOL or maybe an app like volume+ would help.
Third, for the voicemail thing it sounds like you would like a widget. Try the market again. If its the dialer you don't like look for the app dialer one or the google voice app.
Fourth, google voice maybe.
Fifth, good luck.
have you installed the correct drivers on your computer for this phone?

Your computer sees your phone as a piece of hardware. Just like when have a printer you have to install the drivers before you can print. just do a search for motorola xprt drivers.

I tried the folder thing you suggested and it did not work. After bouncing around the internet, I found a thread that said to have a folder called "notifications" on the SC card and put the files in there. That's what I did and I got the Text Message and Email tones to work the way I want to. My next Q is how to do this for the New Voice Mail. In text and email, I had to go to my texts and email, and then settings, then notifications, and then select the tones of my choice. Where do I do that with the Voice mail? I don"t see the setting for voice mail at all..

this is an android thing, though you still should be able to see little icons up the top of your screen when you get a missed call, right?
Ice Cream Sandwich has a solution for this, but that's not available for your phone, so there should be an app that can do that.
Your looking for a 'lockscreen' app. The ring app that was mentioned above is one such app
AANNDD.. I'm not sure whether you asked this or not, but I figured I would answer anyway
to make your device be seen by your computer, you need to install the Android USB driver, which is included in the Android SDK.
alternatively you can search XDA for the 'Android USB Driver', someone will have uploaded it, but it's most definitely what's going to help your computer see your android device
First android device and loving it and I was just wondering if it was possible to make delivery report simpler with messaging app? By that I mean not to get voice and notification every time but rather it would just have little tick, change color or add delivery time in the app itself? Or is that something that can't be done?
I read people recommending go sms pro, handcent and such apps and I tried those 2 but didn't really like them.
Possible.
Use a different messagin app like GO SMS etc.

Might be because I'm new but I really didn't like that app. Read there are ads in app comments, don't really feel safe allowing 3rd party app to control my messages and it kinda felt bloated, too many options, too flashy, too much to do.
I'm perfectly fine with built in one just want at least the sound gone.

I tried it, maybe I can customize it to look more like standard app, is it safe tho? As in no weird sms sent, copied somewhere etc?
Yeah I know tooon of people use it but I'm still paranoid
I didn't like that it had ton of options I don't need and maybe it will hog more memory/power etc. I'll dl dark theme, was too bright also but that's something else
Oh and I can't download it from store, it says something about not available in your country, gotta install from different source.
Edit: Made it the way I like, using it now.
