I wouldn't mind using the messenger app if it wasn't themed like Facebook. I don't use Facebook messenger, so I just enabled sms/MMS and it's just like using a regular messaging app. Just ugly

He means he wants to use the stock SMS app but have chat heads. He doesn't like using the Facebook messenger app for his texts

Search chat heads on google play. You will have an application ready for you. But the only problem is that, right now, the developer hasn't yet made it to move freely on the screen

+1 on ninja SMS its pretty good

Well, I've figured out something I didn't know, which bothered me, I thought it stored my SMS to facebooks servers, though it seems it doesn't. When a conversation is deleted from the stock SMS app, if you check the Facebook messenger, its no longer there. And if I checked on my tablet its not there, so it seems just like its an overlay of sorts just pulling the information from the stock app, which I'm okay with. Just didn't want it to be stored to Facebook's stuff

Facebook Messenger only has sms integration for certain devices. Maybe yours isn't supported?

Ok, so tried chat heads app, Facebook chat heads, ninja sms, notify me, notifypro plus, wp8 notification banner app, light flow ....
All of these apps have since sort of a popup or banner, but the best seems to be light flow which can be customized for each app, each contact separately. If you really want the text icon on home, and simple pop ups don't do it for you, then fb implementation is by far the best one, albeit no contact wise notifications or customization.

I've seen a few reports of people in the Note 3 section having problems with video chat in Hangouts with the new apk besides having mms issues. I haven't had the chance to test the video chat on it to confirm.

I'm sorry for the confusion with what i said in my post...I wasn't stating that there is an MMS option when in installed on the 10.1. I was just merely stating that there are a few issues with the app in general right now.

No I understood you were taking about MMS with the Note 3.
However, i personally installed to see if the MMS option existed on the note 10.1 and if it did, would it work over WiFi. It isn't even an option.

This is my current setup as well for sending texts from my pc, but I use mysms. It's always just been a little more reliable for me. Does anybody know if the new hangouts, which does sms on android now, supports/will support this functionality? I installed the new apk on my phone and received my sms through it. But I didn't see any text messages in gmail. I don't have an android tablet (yet) to test the hangouts app there.
For now I have disabled SMS in hangouts again, as it was extremely laggy (especially in a conversation with over 10000 messages. the stock sms app handles that better). I felt mysms was less reliable too.

I was hoping for the same thing. I was hoping that sms and mms would sync with hangouts so that I didn't have to create backups and such.
I really dislike the UI of the official Facebook app. Although I'm on a tablet, it doesn't have any features that take advantage of the resolution. Instead, it looks poorly stretched and cumbersome...
Do you have any suggestions for a Facebook alternative that can work properly on a tablet? I have already tried FastForFacebook, FriendCaster and Atrium, but I'm not convinced yet.

Third party apps get screwed by facebook. Many posts won't be displayed. I finally gave up and just use Facebook in a Web browser like on a desktop.

definitely. When posts from My FIANCE are deliberately not served to third party apps, like friend caster, it Sucks.
Unfortunately Facebook basically forces you to use their crap excuse for an app if you don't want to go the browser route.

According to the Google support documents, you can reply to SMS messages by swiping the message from right to left on the watch and the reply option should appear. But I only have open in phone... anyone else?

Which app are you using? Hangouts is not the only one that works, there are a few others, but not many.

Yea that's probably not supported. Either switch to one which is (eg Hangouts) or wait and hope for an update which brings compatibility with android wear.

It's not the watch or Android Wear's fault. The SMS app has to be updated to work with Android Wear.

Just discovered Nine - Outlook for android app. I have not been using it for a long time, but I can tell I won't look back. But, I must state these facts though. First, the app is not free as the service they provide is "Tha Bomb". One time payment of 9,99$ on the Play Store and the app is yours (there is no such things as monthly fees or subscription). Second, you can't use gmail with it because Google had changed the policy not to support ActiveSync for general Gmail users on January 2013, but I am pretty sure the devs will be looking to support IMAP in a near future. There is a 2 weeks free trial period, so why not giving it a chance, if you don't like it, just uninstall it after the trial period and go back to your favorite mail app. I am sure you will not be dissapointed!
** Note
Nine is not cloud based. It stores your accounts passwords only on the actual device. It connects only to the actual mail servers. It stores your messages only on the device.
Update: Nine - Outlook for android app is now called Nine - Email & Calendar. It now support Gmail & G Suite (Google Apps).
