I have seen this question asked numerous times before, and everyone gives the most cliche answer. "iMessage is an iOs feature and will never be compatible with Android. Please download a third party cross-platform application that the iPhone user must also install."
I have thought about it, and although it seems like more of a question that belongs in an iPhone forum, is there a way to forward iMessages received on an iPhone/iPad (jailbroken of course) to an AT&T number or similar Android application?
I am running Android 4.1 on Note 2 I317 rooted with jailbroken iOs 5.x
Please do not reply if you have to say something along the lines of
Both users must use a third party application with it's own messaging server.
Just use the iPhone/iPad.
Inform the other user to send failed iMessage as SMS (not applicable to this situation as I am trying to subvert international SMS charges).

Hi, there
New to this forum group, having just taken delivery of SGS2, with three.co.uk.
Prior to this I had an HTC HD2 with O2 UK, and made much use of the HD2 forum groups in modding that phone.
This forum group has been so active, I see a steep learning curve ahead. This is all to the good - it means folks are enthusiastic about this phone.
A major reason for me choosing the SGS2 was that Samsung Exchange client supports SMS sync with Exchange 2010 accounts.
This is vital for work, as I can send up to 1000 sms a month to clients and staff.
With SMS sync, I can keep a message history for past and current issues and projects.
My question is: should I stick to the standard Samsung ROM (it isn't "3" branded, as I got it through a reseller, and came unlocked) to keep SMS sync?
Or, can I give in to my inner geek and get modding?
There seem to be 2 main branches for mods - Samsung ROM based and "other" ROM based.
If I were to install a modded ROM would I preserve the functionality?
Or, could I reinstall the Samsung Exchange client if it wasn't present in a modded ROM?
Please excuse me if the answer is out there. I have done extensive reading and searching, but haven't found an answer yet.
If the answer to my question is "search some more, son, this has been answered already", please let me know politely.
I would suggest learning first which things do you need to be able to run SMS sync. If the only thing you need its Samsung Exchange Client, you can use any ROM you like and you can install Samsung Exchange Client app in there so you would be able to run SMS sync without problems.
If SMS sync requires certain kernel or more deeper system stuff, it would be harder to move to another ROM.
Hi, AzureusPT, and thanks for replying
I suspect it is just the Samsung Exchange client I need - it is the only one, other than WM6.1/6.5 that has the SMS sync feature enabled. Standard Android and other variants (HTC, etc.), Apple and Windows Phone 7/7.5 don't enable the necessary features.
I've tried Nitrodesk Touchdown (on a HTC Wildfire I set up for my Mom as a second phone) and it's implementation is spotty.
I guess you're right - I will have to bite the bullet and try out various options. It will be the only way to know for sure what is necessary. From your comment, I take it the Samsung email (Exchange) client is available as a separate download?
Also, I see you are using HyperDroid-Androidmeda - I was thinking of giving that a go as my first ROM rooting adventure. Is it a variant of the Samsung ROM?
I'd also be very interested about this.
Here's another (older) thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1012634
Tried searching these forums, other forums, the internets and can't find anything - which leads me to think maybe this is a stupid question for some reason, but I don't understand why
I'm experimenting with SIP/VOIP on my Android device (Galaxy Nexus).
I'm using the SIP account settings in the stock dialer app, this works fine for dialing/voice.
The issue is there are no similar SIP settings for the stock SMS client...
is this simply a feature that was not added for some reason?
is there a technical reason why this is not possible? (other third party clients support it)
or can the stock SMS client use SIP and I just can't figure it out?
Thank you kindly for any help, and for your patience.
Did you ever find a answer to this? I'm going through the same process right now and this seems to be a stumbling block. Thanks,
I too have been looking for ways to make this work.
I've read that vanilla SIP itself doesn't support SMS but with extensions it does, so first check with your VOIP provider, then with your SIP app/client. (though these were random forum comments not necessarily from experts, as is this one). Also note that some providers or apps do this "properly" with (as I gather) something called SIP MESSAGE extension, some do it with HTTP push and pull requests behind the scenes. (E.g. some elaboration on reddit "sip_and_sms" - sorry I can't post links)
My provider les.net, claims to have this working with Asterisk (full PBX software : - (, with Bria (paid SIP client), and with CSipSimple (open source SIP client).
So even though my provider doesn't "support" or document it, I first tried it with the native Android SIP client but I still get the "Currently can't send your message. It will be sent when the service becomes available." message (even when SIP calls are working).
And even with one of their suggested clients, CSipSimple, I set it up exactly as they document and I still get the same "Currently can't send..." message.
So anyone else more expert than me, please chime in if you can!!
...and yes I know this is a bleeping old thread.
Can't find any information online on this. I can't believe I am the only one with this issue.
Traveler on Android does not seem to support "conversations" view for emails (as Notes calls it). Otherwise known as "threaded email".
In terms of other mobile platforms, iOS supports this, clearly it's an irrelevance on Blackberry, not sure about Windows 8.
Having just moved from Blackberry to Android at work, my productivity is hugely hampered by this. I can obviously 'do' emailing, but I can't manage my email effectively.
Is this a known issue? Is there an upcoming update to add this for the Android platform that anyone knows about? Maybe it's a dependency on the OS API, as the iOS implementation looks like the native iOS email threading behaviour.
Any comments appreciated.

Is it possible to use my mac as a client to use imessage on my android phone? I just switched to android and absolutely hate not being able to facetime and iMessage especially since I could message my family from across the sea without paying extra. Any workaround would be appreciated
Hi,
I am coming from Apple world, now I am an happy user of a Samsung S6. But I was writing an important email when I realized that my favorite email app, Gmail, was not allowing me to make a word in bold or to create a bullet list..crazy!! I checked online and unfortunately didn't find anything yet.. I tried the stock Samsung one and Outlook, both very nice but nothing there too.
Now reconsidering to go back to Apple again..but not before to ask in the XDA forum..
Do you have any idea for solving or why in 2015 there isn't this feature enabled per default yet?
Thanks in advance!
