Is google voice not available on the touchpad? I have the app installed on my nook color but would like it on my touchpad too?
I've used GV to send text on my TP, as far as calling goes, I think GV will connect calls to a phone number that's been previously setup with your account. Have yet to try and ,make calls with GV.

There's an app, available from the market. Widget comes with app.
Is that the GV text app? I thought google would have their own official app.

Ah, no. App is Not available w/WebOS.. sorry..
Well poop. Looks like I am going to have to get around to putting adroid on it. Was going to wait for ics....thanks for the help
I'm using the alpha version of ICS. it's fairly decent with the exception of a few bugs but its my daily driver for my TP given WebOS is greatly limited on good apps.
Its up to you but I recommend giving it a try.

Any good SMS replacement without ads? I tried Handcent and Chompsms but both have ads and no free-ads version.
Suggestions?
Thanks!

Install Adfree to block adds and you are done.
Personaly I use Handcent. Has a lot conf options.
I use handcent too and didnt see any ads.
I like Handcent too, I think there's only adverts when yo go into the settings menu?
It would be nice to hear of some alternatives though..
4 or 3mb for a sms program I think is to much. I don't care themes and so on, I just want to download the mms' pictures, videos and the ability of send message to multi recipients...
I think I will develop my own sms program...

I fully agre with you. I use Chomp SMS. Its a 5+Mb file consuming about 7-8mb space on installation. Previously I used Handcent which is a bit lower in size- but after upgrade to 2.1 it force closes every time i try to save /add any unknown number (from which an SMS was recd) to my Contacts.
Anyway, will wait for your lightweight SMS/MMS app.

I was started to develop for android devices 2 days ago . The application can send and receive SMS, now I am trying to "call" the contact list to multiple recipes... After that I will start with the MMS support. Once I get this I will release the first beta version.
I am pretty slow coding in java because I have learned it last week, I am a c/c++ developer and I used to hate java

Good news pretty soon. Waiting for your beta release. Meantime I found a lightweight free SMS app (500+kb) in the market. Can have a look if you want. Its called "SMS Composer". The main thing which I liked about it is its Non-threaded conventional type. Messages ordered individually as per date & timewhen they were recd. Its buggy though. Its laggy. Senders' names are not shown in a few SMS from known saved contact numbers. Unknown numbers (from which SMS recd) can't be saved in contact - there is no such option in context menu.
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.
can somebody here, who successfully uses talkmyphone, compile a short how-to for setup on the NC please?
thanks
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!

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.

Groove IP works on gingerbread, can anyone confirm that it works on the tab/honeycomb?
Fyi groove IP allows for voice calls from a tab using your Google voice number.
I copied the Google Voice APK from my Nexus S to my LE Galaxy Tab 10.1, and it installed and ran without any of the configuration file trickery described in other posts. Neither device is rooted.

Are you able to make calls or just text? My texting works fine, but still need GrooveIP to make calls.

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 keep having to login throughout day or after reboot.
Anyone remember if there is a service or something I may of frozen that would cause this? I'm rooted and deodexed.
I'm going to start unfreezing everything tonight in hopes of determining what is causing it.

Is it difficult to setup?
I don't want another phone number; don't want someone calling me through google number.
Is there a way to just use Voice as the voicemail service and still have people call me at my normal phone number?

I did; tested it from office phone and it went right to it.
I love how I can listen to my messages or read transcript from web or phone.
This is awesome.
Nexus 4 CyanogenMod 10.1.0RC2
I'm loving the Google voice. The only issue I have is that transcript is not instant. I have to click on VM and wait for it to load. I'm going to probably disable it because it's not very good. I don't really care for it. Overall this is awesome. I can't believe I never used it before.
Even though many tried the app, but now the web integration is included and is buttery smooth.
