Is there an app that can push your sms from your phone to your nook(rooted)? It would be great if there was some server app that could be run on the NC. I live in Canada so I dont have the option of Google Voice. Thanks for your input. I use android-notifier for my pc, if you are wondering what i I am looking for.
For text you can use textfree comes with s phone number so you can send/receive text messages

Thanks animatechnica. Im not too concerned about sending text messages but I want notifications that a text or phone call was made to my phone. If you know of any apps that might do that that would be great.
That would be a very useful app. When I'm at home I just used to carry my phone around. Now that the nook comes along for the ride, two Android devices are cumbersome and redundant. But I need my phone on me for calls and texts so I can't just leave it somewhere. Knowing when I need to go to my phone from my nook would be awesome.

I have tried contacting the developer or android notifier....email was rejected. I must have not followed the proper steps, my fault. I just read that "whatsapp" app was givin 8 million .......if i can get all my contacts to use this I will be golden.....lol. Help still appreciated.
TalkMyPhone might interest you. I use it to answer texts from my computer without having to look at my phone.
Thank veritas....it works perfectly. There is a post on lifehacker on how to set it up. Google talk acts as the SMS client on my nook.
TalkMyPhone (GTalk SMS)..... All set up on my NC too. Works perfectly. Only use for my phone now is as a wifi tether!!!
Talkmyphone is great!!
Thanks so much for the tip on GTalkSMS, I've been wanting this for a long time. I can text from my computer or my nook now!
how do u set up talkmyphone
I use sync SMS along with dropbox and I can receive and and send text messages from my NC. Sync SMS isn't free but it's not expensive. You get the message on the phone and NC plus you can see the whole conversation in both places. I reccommend it.

ditto . I have my sprint number hooked up as my google voice number and its all synced. once they enable mms, it'll rock even more.
The problem with google voice is you can't set it up to receive texts from twitter.

whilst there is a setup link mentioned in an earlier post (a lifehacker link), it isnt specifically talking about using a NC.

using Sync SMS
i did a nan restore (CM7 Nightly internal) and now i'm getting the
//ANDROID: has sent you a sprint voice message
for each of the voice mails my new EVO 3D gets.
what do i do to stop that ?
you can survey this on XDA texTab : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14922112&postcount=1
It can only connect trough bluetooth now, but the dev is going to add wifi support!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Does anyone have Google Voice working, or should we wait for the 3.1 update?
Thanks!!
Google Voice doesn't work. I even tried a modified apk from the Xoom.
I don't recall where I got it from, but there is a version out there that works pretty well. I'm pretty sure got it from another thread on this forum, so try searching and you should find it. It is kinda dated, it doesn't support the push notifications for text messages (so fastest you'll get texts is every 5 minutes), but it works.

I've had no luck finding this version. Does the Gtab need rooted for it to work?
I think this is the file that I have installed right now: htt p:// db . tt / T3Svb4A (sorry, not enough posts to post the full link, just remove the spaces). Let me know if that one doesn't work and I'll do a direct pull from my device. And no root is needed.

That will always be true for any WiFi device. The official Google Voice app is not a SIP client. You need some other SIP client like SipDroid, CSipSimple, SipAgent or GrooveIP.
I got Google Voice working by using Titanium Backup. I used the backup files from my SGS4G. It Took a while for the batch operation to finish but it worked! No calls for the time being though. Texting is great though!
Latest Version
Here's the latest version from my Infuse. Supposed to be easier on your battery.
Also, GrooVe IP is on sale at Amazon. $1.99 vs. the regular $3.99. http://www.amazon.com/snrb-Labs-GrooVe-IP/dp/B004Z1P53W/ref=zg_bs_mobile-apps_1

yes u can make and receive calls. all you need is Groove IP which is a paid app worth all the money. install the app, follow the setup, and start making and receiving phone calls with your google voice number. no root needed!!! yes u need to b on wifi
I noticed if you text on a wifi only device with google voice you dont get the text instantly, you have to wait for google voice app to refresh which its lowest setting is 5 minutes.
Is there anyway to get texting instantly?

I used to use Fring but that was just complete crap as far as call quality went... so, i've been using Skype lately.
the problem with Skype is that the call quality is still a bit "crappy" here & there + the latest update keeps pestering me to re-install it at least once a day(wtf?)
is there anything else out there that i can use on my Thunderbolt that has decent call quality, call land lines as well as get a phone # assigned to me for people to call me?

If you have a google voice number and account then look at GrooveIP. i suggest you be in strong 3G or 4G coverage for it to work well
Google talk. Its free, better Quality then skype and works with every rom, can use wifi OR data. Search for gtalk 1.3 dowloader in market.
Google voice is free, as good of quality as my regular verizon line. Sets up on your celly, lets you choose which line to use to make calls, and you can foward your cell number to your gvoice vvmail box so you dont have to check 2 vm box's

It sounds like google voice is what your looking for, if you use gmail, google +, voice and talk all work together in your gmail act. Which just makes things so much easier. And its all free. You need separate apps to do each thing on your phone for now, but im hoping they integrate them all into g+ soon.

sorry but, when i installed it it was asking about managing my voicemail & then asking if i wanted it set as the default device for making international calls. it then dropped me into some sort of inbox and there were no call options anywhere. i did a google search on it but i just found info on how to use it on your desktop. i guess i'll have to attempt to find more information on the app. i just wish it was more user-friendly.
p.s. noticed a lot of negative feedback on it in market complaining about it being an unfinished app.

i got Google Voice up & running yesterday & had been using it to make/receive a few calls. i just checked my minute usage though it seems Google Voice DOES use your minutes(confirmed it on google's site also).
Apparently there's a trick to actually getting it for free but requires downloading a few other apps from market and registering on some gizmo5 website(that seems to be down).
so itseems Skype is my best choice after all.

I use these two chat apps on my phone. They are linked to your phone number. I tried installing them on my Prime but can't get past the registration parts about the phone number.
Is it possible to use these apps on the Prime using the same account you use with your phone? I would like to receive and send messages using both my phone and Prime. It is much faster typing with the Prime keyboard dock.

Use titanium backup to make a backup of whatsapp on you phone, then restore it on the prime with data. You should be all set.. when there is a new version out, just do a restore on the prime of the app only..
I used a new number on my prime since the messages doesn't always gets delivered to the right device
Thanks for the response. Sounds impractical if Whatsapp confuses over which device to send incoming messages to though.
I also considered having two separate Whatsapp/Kakao accounts (one for phone and one for tablet), but it is a logistically poor idea for when one of my friends wants to start a conversation with me. They may accidentally choose to message my tablet when I only have my phone with me.
I really do not understand why Whatsapp hasn't released a non-phone based app. If someone could explain this to me, it would be appreciated. Because all I see right now is a company not developing for a booming market (think iPad and other Wifi only devices too).

If you're just going to use your phone's SMS for that, you might as well just use MightyText. It's more widely used, it hooks in using a Gmail account, doesnt require Bluetooth to be up, and has a very very bright future...
