Anyone else use this? I just found it and its awesome. Once you download the app and open the site in your desktop browser, your phone automatically forwards your messages to your desktop, and then back through when you send one back. Its almost like iMessage for android

Let me know how you like it!
I've been using it for a couple months now. It's pretty fantastic, and I haven't noticed any significant battery drain due to it.

I've been using it for a few months as well and absolutely love it...both to text from my computer and my Nexus 7.
Due to the security of my work network, if my phone is on wifi, texts are received but will not ever send. So long as I leave wifi off, it works like a champ. Just FYI in case anyone else runs into a problem.
i've used this for a few months. its very handy during class so i don't have to be on my phone.
Decided to try it after reading this...
Works great. I like seeing the phone's battery % on my tablet, and the notifications come through on my tab before the alert sound is even finished on my phone.
what the its not compatible with the galaxy tab 2.....
FC' :/

Does anyone know if there is a widget comparable to the sense "mobile" widget, that will turn mobile data on/off, and works with the Eris? I've tried toggle data widget and switchpro and neither of them work. Thanks!

I used to be looking out for one, but I found out I always had one!
I assume your on a vanilla rom and dont have sense? use the control panel. there's a button with a circle and 2 arrows on it.
now this doesn't actually turn off 3g, it turns off active syncing. active syncing is what drains your battery when you aren't touching your phone. so if you turn it of, it will be exactly like if you turned 3G off all together. but! doing it this way, you can open up the browser, and it will still automatically load.
like, if you turn it off, your phone wont be using 3g to constantly check on your new emails, but if you went to the mail application and hit refresh it will bring in the new emails for you.
Thanks, actually I'm trying to convince myself I could use a non-sense ROM. There are many things that I love about sense and the mobile widget is one of them.
I'm on pageplus and only have 50mb of data, so I like to keep the mobile connection off unless I need it for some reason. One time I was listening to pandora over wifi and all the sudden my data usage was maxed out. I believe the wifi radio was turned off after 15 minutes because of one of the phones settings (I've since changed that setting and haven't seen this problem). Needless to say, since then, I've been paranoid.
The suggestion to disable syncing will help but I would prefer to cut the connection completely. That way, any app that might happen to be running in the background (That I no longer need) won't be able to suck away at my limited data. Or, if wifi get's turned off automatically for some reason
Are there any other suggestions?

I am on page plus also, and i faced the exact same dilemma trying a non-sense rom. I couldn't find anything reliable. I know its not as convenient but what about just pushing the power button for 2 secs and then selecting turn on/off mobile network from that list. I have to do this in sense sometimes because the mobile widget doesn't work occasionally.
For those that are using roms that still have HTC Framework, then a shortcut is to long press the end call button and select the last option. Which is Mobile Network ON/OFF
Atleast that's a workaround but not a complete widget replacement, sorry
Check out beautiful widgets, it's 1.99 but it might have what you need.

Yeah that will work fine, I never noticed that was there... but do the AOSP/Cyanogen builds have this option?

I actually have beautiful widgets, but there isn't one to turn off data.
Just to post an update for anyone interested:
SwitchPro widget works great at least on White Widow. I'm assuming it works on any AOSP ROM. I tried it with a stock sense rom previously and it didn't work for me, so I'm assuming that it doesn't work with sense.
Just flashed MIUI-2.1.13 after having experimented with UnNamed. As per topic title, I'm using the latest SiyahKernel. Aside from the custom kernel and flashing MIUI, I haven't customized anything. I don't really know much of anything about modems at this point, so I haven't bothered to mess with them yet.
Since I just flashed, I'm downloading my apps through the web-based marketplace. Normally I'd use MyBackup Pro or some other backup/restore app, but sometimes the apps won't work when I install them that way; they will repeatedly force close. I'm downloading and installing from my computer to my phone because I live in a 2g area, and the Market app will always timeout, so I can't use it.
I can receive calls normally when I'm not downloading an app, but if I am, my phone will neither ring, nor show any evidence that someone tried to call me. I can make calls, but not receive them.
Once I get all my apps back on my phone, this won't be much of an issue as I won't be downloading a bunch of apps at once. For now, however, I would hate to miss a phone call because I'm putting some apps on my phone. And since it takes forever over EDGE (no, I don't have wifi in my room), it creates a pretty big window of time where I can't receive calls.
I searched and didn't find anyone else with this problem, so I'm not sure what to do. Rebooting hasn't helped anything either, so that's out.
Edge can't do voice and data at the same time. So that's your issue there.

Yup... remember all of those commercials with ATT boasting that you can call and surf the web on its 3g? (using two separate signals, one for data, one for calls)
Ah. Guess that explains that then. Thanks.
So since I've been using tablets since the xoom came out I always wanted to be able to send texts through my tablet but have them send with my phone's number. At first there was syncSMS, which was pretty good but required drop box to sync up messages. Then I started using Text tab which would pair the devices with BT. The app was ok, the interface wasnt that great but it did the job. I just bought Tablet Talk from the market and I have to say I LOVE this app, not only does it give you the option to connect via BT or Wifi(must be on same wifi network) but the interface is much better than text tab. Plus you can control your mobile phone. Meaning, if you want to call someone it has a dialer and when you dial from your tab it will place the call on your handset, you can even activate speakerphone on your mobile phone. Granted you need to have your phone close for the calling stuff and I am wondering if you connect the two via BT if you can actually use your tab to talk(I havent tested on BT yet) but I think it's still pretty neat. And when you get a call it displays the caller id number on your tab so no more having to pull the phone out of your pocket to see who's calling.
I have been using it over wifi since last night and havent even seen it eat much battery at all and I left it running all night. Anyway, I would HIGHLY recommend this app... It's the best Tab/Phone SMS app I've seen so far
ok so no audio routing when connected via BT, but it's still a pretty cool feature
When I get a call it shows me who is calling on my tab, and also rings on the tab. You can answer the call from the tab but it activates the handset, but as I said in the OP from the tab you can also activate the speakerphone on your phone

Is there a way for it to recognize the hotspot app on your phone as the wifi network? I have the hotspot on my phone enabled..but it still ask me to connect to a wifi network.
Have you tried the Sidecar app? It is available in the Play market.

hmm not sure.. I havent tried.. but why not just connect via bluetooth?
I haven't tested it extensively, but it definitely looks like a good app. I will be testing it more once I start making progress on installing the tablet in the car.
I bought it the other day and wished I did the trial first. It does work well, but my phone seems to disconnect often from Bluetooth. So then I have to manually turn the screen on and reconnect.
Guess I need to fool with the settings on my phone some more. It's very useful, except for this little quirk I'm having.

hmm that's odd. Email the dev, I emailed him a couple of questions and he replied pretty quickly. The first time within hours of my email, the 2nd one a day or two after.
It seems to be an ics issue on the Evo 3D leaks. All of them have this issue for me. That's why I think I need to play around in my wifi settings a bit. Thanks for the suggestion though

edit- i fixed it by jus pushing it to the phone via adb
This is a simple trick I use when I am near a computer anyway to save battery life. Its so simple it hurts. And I'm sure most already know how.
Go to settings>accounts&sync > turn off auto sync. There you go.
I usually do not charge my phone for couple days unless I get flash happy trying to fix problems.
What is the point of having a smartphone if you don't have things syncing? Seems extremely pointless to me.

turning off the phone also works really well...as does avoiding all web surfing, music and video playing...lol
you guys missed the point where i said when i'm around a computer. Like when i'm at home, i'm usually logged into this site, gmail and 4 other sites, so no point in having my phone auto sync. You can always manually sync every couple of hours.
This was a suggestion for people that are looking to get a little extra battery life, not for sneers and condescending little remarks that are unhelpful.
If you have something negative to say. Please keep it to yourself.

No, it does not. During airplane mode, you cannot send recieve text, or send and recv calls. Also data features during gameplay does not work in airplane mode.
Look guys if you don't have anything positive to add. Then please don't add it.

At my work there's only 2G but my phone signal is fine. So I drop my radio to CDMA ONLY (1X). They have a 3G WiFi so I connect my Nexus 7 and I go one further after I disable Sync on my power widget control, I disable Mobile data. Its redundant, my tablet has all email and internet functions. My phone still works fine for calls, text messaging and I can even take a picture and send/receive it mms, even with Mobile data off. When I send or receive an MMS, the 1X icon pops up so it accesses the internet for that task then goes back to being off. I have no problem making my super phone a dumb phone when I don't need the internet tapped to my hip for no reason, I'd rather get better battery life! As soon as I need to, I can go right back to super phone, but you can't do that with a dumb phone
I do turn of the sync do my battery can go further since I'm not always around a plug and still don't turn it on since I don't like my notification bar cluttered. So I turn off the mobile network and WiFi when I don't use them.

This is a good idea, particularly if you couple it with something like Tasker or Locale, so that auto-sync is automatically turned off when you are at certain locations... (like home or the office).

Hey there,
I'm on a bit of a language barrier here, so bare with me if you will.
I've activated GoLocker and GoLauncher for about a month now and since both tools are activated I don't get an internet connection while I'm on the lock-screen. If I unlock my phone the little "3G" or "Edge" symbol appear in the status-bar and everything works fine. This little inconvenience bothers me, for multiple reasons. If I forget about my phone for a few hours and I unlock it, I get WhatsApp messages from 2 hours ago, which kinda sucks, considering the literality of "Instant Messaging". Same problem with Skype, you get where I'm going with this.
Deactivating GoLocker doesn't make any difference. Although the connection comes back before I enter my code which unlocks the screen. So basically once I press the Lock button on the side of my device, the connection returns.
My brother who regularly posts in the custom ROM section directed me here to ask you guys for help.
Here's some data:
I'm on a Galaxy Note II (GT-N7100)
I'm on Android 4.1.2
I can't do a software update because the phone tells me it has been changed. My brother worked some magic about half a year ago. He switched the internal and the SD-card storage somehow and fooled around with the firmware a bit.
It's kinda bothering me, so of one or more of you could help me out, It'd be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
No need for new Rom
just go to Wifi setting and make it always on (do not sleep) ^_^

I'm not talking about WIFI, I'm mainly talking about the mobile connection. (3G, etc...) Although WIFI isn't working either while on Lockscreen.
I've got popup notifications activated in WhatsApp and I want the pop-ups to show up even while the phone is locked. It worked fine until I installed GoLocker and GoLauncher. Maybe some other app triggered the problem or I messed up something in the settings, I can't really tell.
Still haven't figured this out. Sorry for the bump but this issue is just mind boggling to me.

Yeah, so I let the system beat me and finally gave up and uninstalled GoLocker, as well as all the other software from the developers (GoLauncher, all the widgets, etc.) and it works fine now with the standard lockscreen. Still sucks, though since I created my entire theme for GoLocker and GoLauncher as well as dozens of icons myself and really liked the look.
So if anybody is experiencing the same problem, just get rid of the GoSoftware and everything will work fine again.
Thanks for all the help, by the way.
Pesky "Go" devs. Ever since I seen their launcher I know they were bogus. Go apps cause so many problems its not even worth using. Glad you found out your problem.
