[Q] Receive texts on flyer, silence notifications on phone - HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G

I am getting a Flyer soon, and am so excited, I'm already planning out everything I want to do with it. There's one thing I wanted to run by you guys and see if there are any better solutions. I plan to use TexTab to receive and send texts on my flyer, but then I also plan to use it for email and such, so I was trying to think of a way to silence notifications on my phone when I am using my tablet. The solution I came up with was to use AutomateIt Pro (Like tasker but much cheaper) to set up a profile so that when my tablet connects to my phone via bluetooth, it silences all notifications except the ringer.
Basically, I was just wondering if anyone else has/knows of a set up that might be better/more efficient? Maybe there is a single app that does everything I want?
Thanks!

I use Google Voice to receive text and make phone calls on my Wifi only Flyer. Works like a charm.
There is also SyncSMS which syncs SMS through DropBox, but I prefer Google voice because it adds a lot of phone /voice mail / text features.

I'm looking at the app now.. couldn't you just check the "enable notifications" box on the tab and uncheck it on the phone?

[Q] Go SMS/Third-Party SMS and Google Voice?

So, I've fallen in love with Go SMS and its themability. My problem is that I mostly use Google Voice, but I hate the application. I also don't want to forward all of my GV messages to my phone, because that will use up my messaging plan and is not as well integrated.
I know that Go SMS allows plug-ins, such as for Facebook. Does anybody know if there is any way to integrate Google Voice into Go SMS? Perhaps make a plug-in for Go SMS that would do it? Is this difficult/impossible to do?
Thanks a ton!
No plug in as specific as you want for sure. The best answer is email the dev of go sms or whoever is making the plug ins. I have a string feeling that it isn't possible/allowed though, or someone would have made some app to do it.
I haven't looked for an app that can receive Google voice messages in a data form though.. if someone has done it, contact them. I think I would've seen an app like that by now..

In your GV settings you can have SMS notification rather than use the app....pretty sure that's your best bet, but not too sure how that will eat up your messaging plan any more than regular texts (that's all it is..a text of the VM)
IMO unless the dev of Go SMS can integrate the two your only option is SMS notifications from GV settings.
SMS notification instead of using the app...

[Q] On/Off "switch" to use G Voice for calls/texts?

I might be asking for way too much but...
Is there any way to use a widget or app to switch whether I use Sprint or Google Voice to receive calls and texts? I know Sprint offers integration and can port your number an all. But I only want to use G Voice on an as needed basis.
Who knows, maybe it wouldn't even meet my needs. The reason I'm looking for this is because for whatever reason, while I'm in my office, I can't receive texts and barely get cell coverage... No one can, roaming isn't even an option. But I can connect to wifi.
google voice comes with an apps, u can chose however option u want. but it has to have a different number, cant be the same number as your phone number, if u take that integration, u need to remove it and then obtain a new number from google, then everything will work like a charm.

Without sprint integration, google voice can be used for texts only. The widget for google voice allows quick change for using gv to call or not.
I use gv for texts, have my gv number ringing under SIP, don't use gv for outgoing calls as SIP negates that.

Alright, so how do I toggle it on/off. I don't want to use it permanently. Just for texting is just fine too. What I want is to be able to have people texting (in this case now) my normal number be i guess forwarded to Voice. I just care about receiving because I miss a lot of important texts while in my office. you know, the ones that get you in trouble from certain people? lol
Well, I think I found SOMETHING. Haven't tried it yet. The HTC SMS app has a setting to forward texts to either email or another number (it's under the general settings). I'll see how this works out.
EDIT: Not exactly what I was hoping for but oh well. I suspected it wouldn't work, and it doesn't. The SMS app needs to receive it first. Doesn't even help if I can't get them in the first place.

If you login to gv from a desktop, you can set it to forward texts to your other number, or email. Look for settings, gear in top right corner.
Should be self explanatory

Since you didn't answer the question of which carrier, I am going with that its Sprint from the model number in your signature.
My girlfriend's S3 is also doing this on her AT&T variant. I haven't been able to find an answer.
I have an AT&T one and it won't do it for email or text and I really would like it to. Must be a setting. Someone has to know.
You have to change the stock app. Stock messaging app is bad anyways. Look into GO SMS Pro or another app of your choice. The app has what your looking for then disable your stock messaging app.
For email just use the Gmail client. This also has the option for it.
Its all about the apps folks. I don't think the stock app has a way to have the screen to just remain off.
I think he is using blazer Rom from phantomhacker cause I also notice it. Sprint version btw.

Workaround
Found a quick fix to this that is way better than defaulting to another SMS app. Simply download "SMS pop up" from the play store, make sure its enabled, and under additional preferences untick "screen on pop up" and then under notification settings untick "enable pop up" (unless you want the pop up of course). You will have to untick the regular SMS app notifications under settings but its a fix that's working for me that still keeps the stock messaging app intact.

That will stop the screen from waking every time but won't turning notifications off in sms settings also prevent the phone the phone from letting you know at all that you have a message?
that is a nice woorkaround but too bad we have to use double the battery and 2 apps running at once to stop it. There has go to be a solution !
I made a thread about this yesterday. It happens to me everytime. On vzw
I'm running ATT variant and my screen wakes up when I get a text. Im currently rooted and looking through the messaging defaults with root explorer. Im sure theres a setting in there that is set to 1 or true that is doing this or vice versa for everyone else. I havent had an android device for quite some time so it might take me a bit to find it. If someone is a bit more experienced than me they'll probably find it faster.

Following what I wrote: If you disable the stock sms notifications under messaging>setting then the phone will not recieve any notifications regarding new messages. This is why SMS Popup is used instead. It uses a notifications service in conjunction with an optional popup to notify you when a new message arrives. If you enable notifications in SMS Popup, you will still receive notifications when new messages arive. SMS Popup is the service that will receive and notify you of the message, not the stock messaging app. It also has some other features including color customization of the LED light and selecting a specific SMS vibrate pattern. Like I said if you disable the "Enable popup" setting under the "notification" menu in SMS Popup it can serve as a intermittent workaround. As for the need to install it to accomplish this simple setting, it has a low battery and memory footprint as it is mostly a simple service and not a fully effective SMS replacement application. I have spent countless hours trying different solutions to this issue and this seems to be the best most effective workaround I could find whilst dodging SMS replacement apps like handscent and chomp. It was imperative for me to not have my screen light up in my pocket as I choose to go without a lock screen. Hope this helps and is a worthy solution until some development ushers in a new more efficient solution. Cheers!
There's got to be a way using root privileges to stop this. Heck we can stop the annoying wifi pop ups.
Thanks srath16 for finding a hackish way around.

Right. This isn't an "issue", it's just a feature that Samsung has deployed that some like and some don't. Being able to turn it on and off though would be nice.

Sprint and Google Voice

I was curious if people are having better results these days integrating their Sprint number with GV.
I had it set up when the service was first offered but had many issues that led to me getting rid of it.
I had text message delivery issues primarily as well as some mysterious behavior regarding recieving calls.
I also didn't much care for the GV app itself as the stock messaging app is even better in my opinion.
But that was quite some time ago so have there been improvements made since then?
How many Sprint folks are integrated and what opinions to you guys have on the option at this time?
Tks
Can't live without it... It now let's you set the notification to your messaging app so you won't notice a difference compared to not using it. As well, go into the voice settings on your computer and disable some of the call filtering options and you'll never notice a difference except that you'll have visual voicemail that actually works.
Its especially useful if you switch ROMs and wipe your texts because you can still see them all on Google Voice. And it also allows you to text from any device with the app on it or from your computer and still get all your incoming texts back on your phone.
Edit: Basically once you've got it set up right you won't even notice it except you'll have free and better visual voice mail(you can even set it to text you the voicemail when you get it) and you'll be able to text from your computer and review your texts and voicemail online.

I used to love those features. The only its just the performance in was having problems with. I am text message delivery and reception was often delayed or unreliable. I'm still trying to decide if I should try it again. I am a big mms guy too. I am I know I can go back to stock for that... Just not sure if I want to try that again...
I'm not positive but I think text messages are still delivered the same way, through Sprint. They are sent separately by data for Google Voice so basically you get them twice. When I open my Voice app after a while of not using it, it takes a sec to sync all my messages. And every once in a while I'll even get it faster using the Voice app than I do through Sprint if I'm in a bad signal area

Damn ruby, Where you been man, havent seen you in a loooooong time,,,Good to see your still around
I'm interested in this too, I loved the Google voice features, but some people were just not able to text me. They wouldn't have issues sending messages, they just never came through to me
Still can't decide. I am leary only because of how buggy it was for me last year...

Try it, then disable it if you don't like it :good: Tbh I didn't like it on either my HTC Hero or my Nexus S but on the Evo I don't even notice it until I need it. Its especially nice on a CM10/Aosp rom but it works well with Sense too. As long as you set it up right you won't even notice it until you need it.
Couple suggestions to set it up right:
1. On your computer go to www.google.com/voice > Settings > Calls > Call Screening Off
2. Go to Settings > Phones > Make sure its your phone number listed and is Google Voice Enabled and that texts are set to be sent to your phone.
2. Go to the app on your phone > Settings > Sync and Notifications > Receive text messages Via the messaging app AND set Voicemail Notifications on(On cyanogen/aosp this will let you play your voicemail straight from your notifications)
3. Close the Voice app and forget its even installed
Then the next time you're on your computer go the google.com/Voice and check it out and maybe send a few texts to test it out. Or else mess with the settings and try out some of the cool options like blocking calls from telemarketers, setting your voicemail greeting and enjoy it.
I've been using it so long that I may have a few other settings changed that I forgot, but those should get you started... I honestly don't even realize its even installed until I need to check it. You still get your texts through Sprint service AND via data by the google voice app if you want. Sometimes I get it quicker via data than by Sprint so I love that option.

Do you get visual voicemail on messages left at your Sprint number or just on your Google Voice account?
Emoji's don't seem to work with Voice, even when set up to receive through go sms with the emoji plugin
Edit: yeah I just double checked, you can't send or receive emojis when using Google voice integration. Well I guess I'll try again in a couple months, see if it's working any better
I just wish they'd increase the volume of voicemails. I can barely hear them with the volume all the way up. The Sprint app is also quiet but it's louder than Google Voice. It makes the app almost unusable for me. I'm trying Sprints VVM again. I do miss the transcriptions but truthfully they are rarely correct.
What phone number do you tell people to call and text? Your original Sprint number or newly assigned Google voice phone number?

Your Sprint number.
With integration do you still have a gv# opposite your sprint# ?because that was a good feature to have imo
You can if you want but I chose my sprint number. I also hated this app with a passion in the beginning.. But I gave it anotehr shot since I flash alot and tryin out AOSP it was a pain to constantly get those 9016 texts.. So I tried it again and now I love it. Everytime you flash just install google voice again and all your stuff is back instantly. I did use SMS backup with titanium but waste of time with how easy GV is. Plus you can go to www.google.com/voice and send text messages and listen to voicemail on your computer. So for the guy that can't hear your voicemail just listen to them on your computer and turn it up as loud as you want. I'll never go back to sprint vvm. Google voice keeps getting better and better. Plus I put it on my website as a widget so people can call me right from their computer and I can customize a personal message just for the website and still have my own for my phone. Make the switch and don't look back!

That's not an option when you're away from home, and in an even slightly noisy environment. Even just driving my car is generally too much background noise to be able to hear some voicemails. This is 2012, I think this is unacceptable. I mean really, how long has voice mail been around. GV brings a lot of great new options to the table, but yet doesn't perform it's core service very well. (like the iPhone and making phone calls...haha, but I digress)
My favorite way to use my GV number is to give it to any company who asks for my number. I only use a cell phone so I don't want to give a random company my personal number. With my GV number they just go right to voicemail and if it's important (like I won a cruise or something) they can leave a message. ;o)
I don't use it for text messages, but I imagine it's nice when flashing roms. I just use MyBackup Root to restore texts to new roms. My next project is to learn RomCleaner and setup a good script for that. It sounds like a very smooth, consistent way to getting back up after flashing a new rom.
I love GV and I think it offers some innovative features, I just wish they would take the initiative to increase the volume.
I finally took the integration plunge a few weeks ago (despite always hearing horror stories about GV in the past), and I'm loving it.
Give it a shot.
hurled from my AOKP'd Evo LTE. Enjoy.
Also, for those of you who still like to use the stock text messenger app or send/receive texts via your Sprint phone number (outside of Google Voice), there is a great and reputable app ( " SMS Backup+, by Jan Berkel") that works great for those who wipe and flash their phones often.
The app allows you to save all texts to your google account (cloud-based) for later retrieval. So if you wipe, you can restore however many texts you'd like and they'll be back on your phone again within seconds. It also has an auto-sync function so that each time you get a new text, it is automatically saved to your google account for later retrieval if needed. I highly recommend this app for anyone who doesn't like using GV for texting purposes (like me).

There are plenty of apps out there that do this... The point of Google Voice is that those texts are always there across all your android phones, tablets, PCs, Macbooks, etc. Its useful between flashes sure, but its real use is between devices.
And just as an fyi for those in doubt, you do still get your texts straight from Sprint if you set it up that way as far as I know... Its not just that the voice app syncs them into your messaging app, it really does receive them as an SMS. It becomes more obvious if you send a message using the Voice app from the computer as you won't see the sent message in your messaging app but you will get the replies as a text.

Pushbullet for notifications on your TrueSmart

Hi Folks. First of all, I'm new here. I just created a profile to suggest you the following:
Pushbullet; it's an app that allows you to send and receive notifications, links, files, etc, between devices.
So, I was thinking if maybe somebody knows a way around to use this app as a substitute for the Osmart Companion, that doesn't work so well and also depends completely on bluetooth. I'm using it right now to manually send stuff from my smartphone to the TrueSmart, but I just found out that Pushbullet now supports Tasker integration, what makes me think that, if you know how, it is possible to create a profile on Tasker that allows you to automatically send a notification to your TrueSmart whenever you receive a SMS, for example.
However, despite being a huge fan of android and apps in general, my programming skills sucks really bad, even at Tasker, which I guess must be programming for beginners.
Has anyone already tried to do something related? Please let me know.
Thanks!
I haven´t try that app, but I´m using 'Notisync' and, at least for me and until now, it´s working. The only one thing I don´t have got: automatically unlock the screen (I´m using Oclock) and show a window with the notification content in. For this, I´m using 'Notify me!' app. It turns on the screen, but not unlock it (it only shows the notification content if the screen is already on). I continue investigating .
I hope this helps someone.

I have tried many apps and so far at least this one tells me when someone is calling, i cant get it to alert me of texts though, i use hangouts as my text service default app but i even tried the standard messages app and it still doesnt allow the texts to go through, did you have to do anything special for the texts?
as for pushbullet i started messing with it the other day but all it does it notify my watch that theres a message waiting on my phone i still need to look at the phone to see/reply to the message.
figured out a way with pushbullet and tasker to show who the text is from and what the message said, now if only there was a way to reply

I don´t use SMS and never try that. But I tried an app called 'Tablet talk' that can syncronize SMS and phone calls (even when you receive phone call, it shows a window showing the contact photo and bottons to interact with that call). I configured the phone as 'phone' and the watch as 'tablet'. The problema I had was the same: it doesn´t unlock the Oclock screen.

Yeah i've been a user of tablet talk for a while and it is a good app just looking for others since i dont like always having to reconnect them together.
Hey everyone,
I contacted the developers of Push Bullet a few weeks ago when I got my TS. He indicated that it was a space they wanted to occupy for wearables and tablets. They have a number of things they're rolling out for their primary app first, but it's on the slate for the future.

I contacted the developers of Push Bullet a few weeks ago when I got my TS. He indicated that it was a space they wanted to occupy for wearables and tablets. They have a number of things they're rolling out for their primary app first, but it's on the slate for the future.

how did you guys get it to install? Side load? It wont let me install from the play store since it says it is incompatible with device. I love pushbullet, and would love to use it with the TS
Yeah side loaded from dropbox.
sent from my note 3 running beans.
For sms I have been using google voice, hangouts and the XVoice+ Xposed plugin. here's how it works:
1) I have moved most people to use mt GV number to reach me as I have several PH numbers so step one is socialize the GV ph number.
2) XVoice+ forces all sms through the google voice app
3) in the google voice app > Settings > Sync and Notifications set recieve text messages to "via the messaging app.
4) if you want to use hangouts go through the steps to make it the default SMS/MMS client otherwise you can use what ever SMS app you want.
default result is I get the same conversation on my phone as on my PC as on my watch. For me this works out well.. the only issues i have are broadcast messages that are short message based like twitter to sms. Google Voice will not support these messages.
