Hi,
First of all, I am sorry if this question has already been answered but I couldn't find what I was looking for in Google, neither here, in the forums.
I am looking for an app / way to manage my SMS from my desktop computer. Phone and desktop are on the same WIFI network (if it helps).
I have tried Pushbullet, MightyText, Join, etc.
AFAIK, MightyText was the best solution, but at some point it stopped working had issues of telling me on the computer the SMS was sent, while it was not phone side...
Join on the over side, looks promising, however using it in Firefox (instead of Chrome), removes such convenient features such as getting notifications of new messages directly on my computer screen, moreover, it doesn't seem to recognize (ie. import / export) the messages I am sending from Signal (which is my main SMS app).
Ideally, I am looking for a way to manage my text message on my desktop running Linux and Firefox, with notifications ! Be it a standalone app, command line app, or even a linux friendly website (or in the worst case, a firefox extension).
Thanks a lot for your input.
Try Yappy. I was fedup with MightyText, MySMS and AirDroid. Yappy seems to do what I want.
Thanks a lot for your answer. Will give it a try.

My situation cannot be all that unique, but, I cannot seem to find the right solution that MUST be out there.
I am a long time Sidekick users. I like the sidekick but would like a bit more power in the device and be able to run other apps. On the advice of a friend (who also used to own a sidekick) I got an XDA (T-Mobile MDA specifically) on ebay, but, I am giving up one HUGE thing, I think... The Sidekick automatically syncs with the Desktop website, so all my notes, contact info, addressbook, to-do list is on the web. With the XDA the info will be on my desktop at home in Outlook.
Why is this a problem? Because I ->CANNOT<- carry a cell phone into my work site but I do have internet access. This gave me most of my Sidekicks functionality (except for making calls) from my desk at work. Could look up contacts, etc. It also gave me this access from any location in the world as long as I had internet access (even if that location didn't have GPRS, my power on the Sidekick died, whatever).
Is there a website that will stay sync'd with my outlook, something I can add to my website (PHP + MySql), or I can run a website from my desktop machine (PHP, Java, MySql, whatever I can install anything). I am not chomping at the bit to install Exchange with Outlook Web Access on my machine at home, though... WAY too much work I think.
Any suggestions would be great. The best I have found is www.freeoffice.de, but, my ability to speak German is somewhat limited. Yahoo apparently used to offer an intellisync ability, but, alas now it is an export or export via CSV it appears. I found another service that seems to primarily be a fax/voicemail service at like $3/month for this. I guess if they work great I could pony up that, but... I don't really need fax/voicemail service.
I don't really need this to support email, I can get my email on the web from elsewhere. Primarily all the other PDA functions.
Any help greatly appreciated.

I use the Yahoo Intellisync which works well directly with Outlook data, no converting or anything, just run the Intellisync program and all the data from Outlook is available on a webpage.
Notepad, Calender, Address Book and ToDo List are all synced.
I don't know if they charge for the service as I get it as part of my Internet package with BTYahoo - this is UK based, but I suppose it is available everywhere.
I Don't think Yahoo Still Offers...
When I looked before I couldn't find the Yahoo sync option, but, now I see it. Thanks for making me look again. This should do nicely, I hope.
Hello people,
To those who are familiar with the Tweetcaster App and bored to read a lot.
I am an everyday Twitter and Tweetcaster user.
I am trying to find a way to Backup (and probably transfer to another android phone) the Direct Messages that the application has stored in my phone.
There is no button for that.
I tried to copy/paste the “Tweetcaster” folder from my Samsung Galaxy S’ memory. Didn’t work.
For those who want more details and explanation.
Let’s say that I bought a new phone, and I want to transfer my Direct Message Data from the old one, to the new one.
1. Fact: Twitter.com archives ONLY the ~200 latest Direct messages to their server. Everything older, is deleted, and cannot be retrieved.
2. Fact: In my old phone, I have access to ALL Direct Messages, I have sent or received via Tweetcaster since I start using that phone. More than 1000 Direct Messages.
3. Fact: I have installed to my new phone the Tweetcaster app, and only the ~200 latest Direct Messages have appeared.
So. I assume that Tweetcaster, somewhere in my Old phone's memory, has a Directory of Data which includes all my Direct messages. I am seeking a way, to find and transfer that Directory to my computer, so I can have a Backup, and also to Transfer it to my new phone, and continue my Direct Messaging from where I stopped in my old phone.
(The app, saves in the phone’s memory, ONLY the Direct Messages, not ALL timeline activities)
I communicated with the online OneLouder Support didn’t help me at all.
So, I’m counting to you guys.
Probably someone pro here, can track the data movement this app makes every time you receive or send a Direct messages.
Thank you in advance.

I need access to full gmail (not simple html) through web interface. Gmail app and html simple don't work for me, because they ruin the organization and order of messages when compared to desktop interface.
I have tried Skyfire and it does load full Gmail interface, but it is painfully slow, consumes enormous amount of memory and loads cpu to 100%. Pretty much unusable.
I'm not sure if ajax (or gmail in particular) on android wouldn't run any better or if it is just a matter of finding the right software and setting.
I don't have a direct solution, but have you tried the other versions of gmail, stock email, and Sense email apps?
I'm using the ICS 4.0 version of gmail, and I like it a lot.
Search google for the apk.
They may have the layout and options you want.
Thank you for suggestion. I have tried to find something that works, but other than Skyfire (not useable) and Remote Desktop (quite uncomfortable), I couldn't find anything so far.
Here is my problem. I receive ton of emails everyday, I use several workstations to access emails, I sort, label and read them, reply from different workstations. Works great having the same screen on all the machines, no matter where I am. I can start my work on one and finish on the other without loosing track of what I was doing.
I would love to work on my emails using Flyer the same way, but as of right now it is very uncomfortable for me, simply because my mail boxes don't look the same on android.
For example I have one of the mail boxes set up to show important and unread first, next emails marked with specific labels (might have several labels), then everything else (important read, unimportant unread etc). This simple thing saves me a lot of time and I know what to do next regardless of what workstation I access my email from.
When I use GMAIL app on my flyer, my mail box looks like a mess in comparison to desktop version. I get lost there so bad that I miss what needs to be done next. At this point I decided not to use GMAIL app to access work email at all.
I have tried to get to my emails through Web Browsers with desktop user agent string, but it loads in plain HTML, hence I loose the order again.
Only Skyfire browser loads the full version of gmail, but as I have said earlier is consumes more than 200mb of ram and loads CPU to 100% and makes it pretty much unusable. Not sure if it is a problem just on my Flyer or if it is how ajax is done in Skyfire.
I'm hoping to find solution (browser with good ajax?) that would allow me to access full web interface. I was just wondering if anybody knows if such thing or add-on exists. I hope maybe when CHROME browser comes out they have the good ajax support.
Hi all,
There are a lot of apps out there like MightyText, AirDroid, or DesktopSMS that allow you to send SMS messages from your PC. The problem with these services is that all the TOSs show that messages could be saved on their server. They also give pretty universal permission control to the application. While I'm sure these apps are "safe," I'm looking for a self-hosted solution, where I can host a website that my SMS/MMS content is synchronized to, and allows me to send SMS/MMS from the web browser (or companion app).
Is there something out there that does this? If not, I'm going to look into developing it myself.
Thanks!
Platform
I'm a developer and I had to create something for one project of mine and in time it became a whole project by himself.
I've created a self-hosted SMS marketing platform that it's integrated with more than 150 SMS providers you can bring your own device if you require it.
Have a look at selfhostedsms.com
Hello everyone. Few days ago my new WP app has been posted in Windows Market. And now I have to ask you, could you help test it? Search in market: SendMe
You can easy send and receive messages. Also you can easy copy text to clipboard. For example: You need to text really BIG URL-address, here you can easy do it, just click on message.
App will have a lot of changes, so this is just beginning.
I'm really curious: what the reason and purpose of the app? There are SMS, emails, bunch of different messengers on the platform to "send and receive messages"... Why do you think anyone will install it?
Use device network services, music, media items currently playing, any of sensors, acces browser, send push notiifications, use data stored on external storage device (sd card? ).
