Hi,
I tried to create post about using whatsapp on flyer. Problems, questions and (hopefully) solutions can be found here.
#Empty Whatsapp Contact list
I tried to figure out getting Whatsapp working on my flyer,
1. Using stock GB, which give me result device not recognized.
2. After I upgrade to costum HC, it let me to register whatsapp to their server.
>the problem is, I was not able to chat with anyone in my contact list.
Because the contacts in Whatsapp are just plain empty.
Solution:
Go to the setting > more > show all contacts(checked)
Whatsapp : 2.7.4106
HC : LeeDroid 4.1.0
I can't even get to register whatsapp on the Flyer... They just tell me that it is not for tablets.
I'm on LeeDroid 4.1.0 too
Ever since upgrade to HC, WhatsApp works fine.
Try save contacts with +country code. Also try refresh contacts in WhatsApp.

Do you have the WiFi Flyer or the 3G one?

Hi everybody,
does anybody know if it is possible to install a SMS client on the GT 10.1v? Being it a 3G Tablet it should be possible to activate the SMS messaging ... I had been using the same SIM-card in a Samsung Netbook where it was possible to write text messages. The tab didn't let me install GO SMS.
Thanks!
I've installed WhatsApp and it want to send a SMS message before it starts. When I enter a correct phonenumber, WhatsApp presents an error telling me that it's not possible to send an SMS.
It appears the current firmware doesn't support SMS/Phone operations. Perhaps a custom rom in the near future will solve this problem.
I've tried to use Go SMS & Go Dialer, but without any luck.
Google talk floating around xoom forum can send SMS but replies are going to my phone

I use sync SMS on my 10.1 wifi tab... install on tablet then on phone... must have a dropbox account. Works really good.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
using dropbox seems like a poor way of doing it..
I just started on one myself that does it through bluetooth
that's also not a perfect way of doing it but it seems better than dropbox to me
then again, I have no idea if it will work through bluetooth. I literally just started on it yesterday so I basically have zero functionality so far.
I just saw that HTC Flyer on Android 2.4 does have an SMS App working. Couldn't we just rip the app of the Flyer and install on the GT?
How could we get the messaging (SMS) app from the Flyer to try?
My GO SMS works nicely!

Sorry if I am being dumb - you got GoSMS working on a 10.1V? How comes? I have in the meantime only managed to get it installed. But - as predicted - it would not send any SMS.
I can send SMS using the messaging function in the message app.
textab is the best sms app out there in my opinion. unless your trying have a set number to the tab and text from it.
Sign up for a Google Voice number for free. ( google.com/voice ) Make sure you go through the settings and don't have it forward texted to your current cell phone number but just to the email address used to sign up.
Use the Google Voice App from the market or the one already preinstalled on the Tab. Log in using your Google Voice account and start texting using your new Google Voice phone number to any cell phone number.
DeskSMS is the ONLY way to go for SMS from a tablet, desktop, or web interface. Doesn't require an active bluetooth connection or Dropbox. It just forwards all my SMS to my Google Talk account, and I can reply directly within Google Talk on my Tablet or Trillian on my PC.
Google voice now supports tablets. I use it all the time to text from the tab.

Sprint calls it the view 4g. It's a wimax version of the flyer 3g. It was an OTA update.
Do you have html enabled on your tablet? If so what version of gingerbread are you on?
Are you sure its not a policy enforced by your exchange admins?
yes sure, on my htc sensation i have html view.

Yes, I'm sure. Enhanced email does it no problem. Also on 2.3.3 html was no problem.
the fact that you question it makes it sound like you have Html on exchange on your view with 2..3.4. If that is the case then what did you do to get it working. If not then we are just wasting time.
So this isn't that 26 or so mb file that was coming from HTC was it? I recently rooted my wife's view and just for fun tried to install this 26mb update that kept popping up. It started to update then I immediately got the white triangle ! I am still on 2.3.3 and what ever hboot comes with revolutionary.
question exchange HTML with the last update works?

Managed to install successfully the Whatsapp Messenger over my 10.1 HTC JetStream which means that i can send/receive Text, Pictures, Videos from & to my tablet, either over WiFi or Cellular. This is great as i can photo with my tablet and send it to any mobile phone that run's whatsapp and its FREE. Same goes for receiving Text or pictures.
Its a great way to communicate FREE from my tablet.
Didn't managed to download the apk file from the market so i googled for it and just installed it, registered & it work.
BTW - The HTC JetStream is SIM Unlocked - was locked to ATT when i got it and easily managed to have it working on ORANGE network. see other thread in the forum.
As stated earlier, whatsapp works great on the Jetstream.
One small issue is that i do not able to see the contact list wheni want to compose a message to someone who didn't text me earlier. The contact list in the "compose message" is empty. anyone got the same issue ?
Any idea how to resolve it ?

I'm using text + which lets you send a text to anyone in your Google contacts and also shows you the list. Not to thrilled about the randomly assigned number when you sign up, but it does work for SMS and MMS.

where did u get the APK from?

Dumb question, but wondering if it's possible to text imported contacts. Don't want skype or fring, just standard texting over wifi.
You can send SMS text messages using Google Voice. If installed, it shows up as an option in contacts.
Thanks didn't look at google voice sms!
BTW, found anther way to sms from the flyer. Go to the market and get syncSMS. It's $2.99. Then get Dropbox, which is free. I put syncSMS on my nexus and it syncs both inbox and outbox from the phone to the tablet!
Have all original sent/received sms on the phone, even though the entire conversation took place on the tablet
Try TexTab Lite. Install it on your tablet and Android phone, start Textab on both, configure and connect devices with Bluetooth.
When phone received message, it will forward it using BT to tablet. You can view and reply directly on tablet your phobe will take care of sending.

I have been using "SMS popup" on my android phones for years now. Never had a problem until I installed it on this new Rezound. The SMS popup comes up when a new text comes in, it just doesnt pull up the person's profile photo as it's supposed to. It's got to be an HTC/Sense issue. I've used SMS popup on AOSP, Samsung Touchwiz, and Team Hacksung's ICS port for the Galaxy S; all of which funtioned properly.
I know I can get handcent but I really like the way this HTC messaging app looks (and its ad-free, unlike handcent). And SMS popup is such a simple way to accomplish the popup on incoming texts and still allow me to use the manufacturer's messaging app.
Has anybody else run into this problem or have any suggestions?
Thanks!
Do you have your contacts linked? Maybe it doesn't know which one to grab...
Alternatively go with Go SMS which is free and does pop up.

Some contacts are linked, some arent. Either way, neither contact photos shows up.
The way my contacts are set up is, I have a google gmail contacts. None of those have any photos in them. Then I also let facebook sync my friends list to my contact list. Some facebook friends also have a google gmail contact equivalent. Those are the ones that are linked.
This is the same way I've always done my contacts on all my other android phones and it's never been a problem. This HTC phone is the first time I've ran across this problem. It's like the SMS popup is calling for a contact photo, but the HTC version of the contact app is calling it by a different name.
Weird, SMS popup works just fine for me pulling up the contact pic using sense etc (innefilibis ROM if that matters)
By the way, I used Handcent for years (with the ads blocked) but this is the first phone I like the stock SMS so much (with red theme bubbles) I didn't even bother installing it.
