Theres an app my friend uses on his Xoom. I can't remember what it is off of the top of my head and his tablet is locked. I know you have to pay for calls after a certain point.

I have herd you can use sipdriod and I think Google voice and make it work. You will actually have a number for the phone for free over wifi.

Can you call for free over wifi?

It's called Groove IP. It works with your Google voice number. Get a free Google number and install groove Ip, sign on with your Google account and you're in business.

You guys gotta try groove Ip, it really works and it's 100% free over WiFi

Sweet! I'll check it out thanks!

Tried groove IP. Its ok but sipdrioid is free and seems to do the same thing. I have Google voice and sipdroid and can make phone calls out with my Google number. But still wonder if it will work on a known activated phone because it seems to need the android phone number to link it to Google voice. Any thoughts.

It didn't ask me for my number, utter should only ask for your Google account info. Is Google asking for your number or groove Ip.?
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
This is all it asks for...... I can send it to you but I don't know how to do it here
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Yeah the number is created by Google voice and all you do is link groove IP or sipdroid to Google voice.
Can't get Google voice to link to my phone. When I call the Google voice number it rings my house phone not my cell.

Go on Google.com/voice from your computer and change the settings. IT HAS TO BE DONE FROM YOUR PC

Hey all. I just tried Skype on my phone for the 2nd time today and was told that my image was green. The first time it was on the vzw network so i assumed there was a bandwidth issue however today I was on wifi.
Looking it up on Google it seems to be an issue with HTC phones on ICS and the Skype app. Has anyone found a fix for this or must we wait until JB?

I think the latest version of skype fixed this a while ago...
I'm using the latest version and this just happened yesterday.

That's odd. My skype is working 100% fine... I am on ViperLTE 1.0.0. Try deleting the data for the app. May be it is something with the latest OTA if you are on that.
Its supposedly an issue with HTC phones which would explain why yours works fine.

Is it possible the camera settings would affect color? Try setting your White Balance to compensate for the color temp of the lighting where you're located during the call. I suspect this might be the source of the problem.

Hard to explain but if you look it up in the play store they have a video. It's like handcent pop up reply on cracked.

bought it...but it doesn't work in my s3 running CM 10.1
never
i have never seen it before
Does anyone know how to disable it from showing up on the Widget Locker lockscreen? I'm trying to have it so that I have to unlock the phone to see the pop up, but it's not working for me. I put com.ninja.sms in the disable popups thing but it still pops up.
Bought it. It force closes after minimal use on our device. Stock sense 4.

Very odd. I've given it a good 2 hours of total texting use since yesterday on a Sense 5 ROM with no force closing at all. Try re-installing it?

Bought it and it works super fast. New update today with pop up color changes. Dev is very responsive and hopes to make a full sms ap soon. Worth the try!

Trying out this app one thing I don't get is how do I send messages? And is there away to see all my messages using ninja app? Or is this app only a quick text reply app.
Edit: so I guess it's just a quick reply app.

Why pay for this when it does the same thing as facebook messenger . .? Or does it do anything that the chat heads doesn't do bc I can watch YouTube or be on xda and when someone txt me I can't reply quickly to that person or multiple people

This was available before chat heads was so that's part of it.
Also chat heads has seemed laggy to me when typing multiple messages where I don't have that issue with this.

This is a pretty neat app. I think it's pretty useful I like the pop ups. Works with Verizon messaging app and obviously stock. They really should come out with a full message app.

The latest update fixed the stability issues I was having. I'm on my phone 24/7 so the 'chat heads style' icons rock.

Best SMS app I've tried.
I'm very picky with sms apps as I don't like the idea of sharing my my sweet nothings with someone else's server (paranoia alert!) but, this app does what I want without that fear. I like the idea of picking who it alerts to and that I can keep my chats minimised while doing other things. I use sms flash and this app works really well with it as I use that app to alert me for pin codes and everyone else (because I don't use the reply feature) and Ninja for the important peeps. Cheers Dev!

It doesn't popup on lockscreen though. I find that a must have feature that gosms has. I would also like to initiate a conversation on it and you can't.
Stay thirsty, my friends

No issues here. Are you using it on WiFi? If not have you tester it on WiFi? Have you checked the settings to make sure there isn't something about the forward facing camera in there that might be causing your issue?

So, installed it to use it as my default text messaging application. However, one issue. Before I got it, I always received pictures. However, now I'm not receiving it even through my stock application. Anyone else having issues with MMS?

i had trouble the first picture. then i sent one and the recipient got it and then i started to get every picture after that. idk if that fixed it or what... but give it a shot

Sadly it will not allow me to send pictures either. After I try to, it somehow prevents me from even sending SMS until I restart my phone. Maybe I downloaded a bad Hangouts?

The strangest thing, is that even my stock messenger won't even receive MMS. That's why I'm confused if Hangouts did something, it's on Verizon's end, or if it's something else entirely.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yeah, the new Hangout makes it so even the stock messenger doesn't get MMS. So until that's fixed there is no point. Unless you never ever get any MMS.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
i cant send mms in hangouts, but i can send it from a different app.
And i can recieve mms(group messages as well as picture messages) in hangouts no problem
I installed it and it was working fine yesterday and now my entire phone can't send any texts. It can receive them but texts fail through any app, from stock, textra, or through hangouts. Help?
I've noticed that a weak signal won't send sms through hangouts but will send via messaging app. Not sure why, but I'm frequently in low signal areas and have to use the default messaging app to send. MMS and SMS seem to work fine with good signal. I'm on the newest release.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Here is a suggestion: It used to be that when sending MMS your 4G will turn on automatically. Instead, send something while 4G is on and WiFi is off. It has been working for me.
