Something cool about the new-ish facebook messenger app is that you can also use it for your SMS text messaging. Is there an app out there like this that also integrates other messaging clients like Hangouts?
Ideally, I'd like something that has SMS, facebook messenger, and google hangout conversations all in one list, with an icon on each conversation indicating what service it is associated with. Another (maybe better) option would be to have a tab for each service along the top of the interface so you can switch between them and stay organized.
I've looked around and found several multi-client messengers like Trillian or IM+, but none of them seem to do SMS as well.

I have two apps installed on my stock, unrooted G2 that should be able to compose an MMS: Lolcats widget from www.icanhascheezburger.com and 'pinpoint'. Both were installed via Android market. When I go to 'share' or 'send' in either app, MMS is not an option. Instead I am offered email, gmail, Facebook, Twitter etc. Pinpoint does offer SMS but I would like to picture message. Any ideas what could be wrong?
Hi Folks,
I have been using an iPhone 3G till now and just made the switch to Android. Just received my Atrix today and spent time getting familiar with Android/Motoblur and setting things up.
Now, I am really confused between these three apps
1. Email
2. Messaging
3. Gmail
From the time I've spend playing around, I know that Email and Messaging look pretty much the same, except that messaging also has text messages. So why do we have these two separate apps? Then there is Gmail. If I have a gmail account, should I add it to the Motoblur accounts or set it up with the Gmail app? Why are there so many overlapping apps?
Basically all I want is a single app where I can check all my emails from different accounts just like iPhone's native email app.
Please be easy on me as I am an android newbie Thanks in advance!
- Gmail is Google's gmail app that supports multiple gmail accounts
- Email is Moto's email app that supports different types of email accounts (integrated with MotoBlur)
- Messaging is Moto's text and MMS app

"Messaging" actually integrates texts, GMail, and the MotoBlur Email client. There is also a "Text Messaging" app that just handles texts. If you use the "Messaging" widget, you can even get FB messages on it.
Oops, I stand corrected. Was thinking about the captivate's Messaging.

To answer your other question, if you want to use the Moto "Messaging" with Universal Inbox then all you have to do is go to Accounts and select Google at the bottom and deselect "Sync Email" and then just setup your Gmail through Moto's Email client and you can get all your emails (just once) in the universal inbox. If you use both then you will receive redundant notifications for your Gmail.
Since about 2-3 weeks I am not receiving many of my facebook feeds in most widgets / apps u have tried except for the the official client. They are appear on my facebook homepage and in the official facebook client but no longer in any of the app i have tried (pure messenger, htc friendstream, color widget, launcher pro etc.)
I checked my settings and permissions in facebook, deleted and readded the apps in facebook and and my phone, and made sure I am receiving feeds from all friends, family not just the ones I interact most with but nothing seems to work.
No one has any ideas?
come on no one has any ideas?
I'm looking for a widget (probably with an underlying app) that aggregates messages (SMS), mail (exchange/IMAP), gmail (android client, not IMAP via mail app) and facebook messages. Motorola has something along this line in their droid devices, and Samsung had the discontinued social hub. Anyone know any good 3rd party options?
Try pure messenger widget...
Now that FB Messenger supports SMS, is there any way to view those SMSs on my Android tablet? If I could send and receive from the tablet (obviously, when my phone is also online/connected), that would be really neat. I know there are apps that do this, but it'd be much nicer to use with Facebook Messenger. Is there any hacks anyone knows of that would allow for this?
