Windows 10 Your Phone and the Your Phone Companion app on Play Store allows you to send and receive text messages from your computer. It can sync items from your device, not 100% about MMS messages as I have not had a reason to send one just yet. This is the closest I can find that works good so far... I am sure there are other apps out there, this is the first one I found.
If you have T-Mobile at all using the Digits app is also a good way to gain access to texting/calling from a computer.
Myself I use both of Your Phone (and companion app) as well as the digits service. So far both apps/services work really good, no issues as of yet

[Q] Read and send multiple SMS from desktop PC with HD2 connected via USB

Is there an app that can do this. My old Nokia could broadcast a sms to multiple recipients. I use mymobilier but limited to few recipients at a time.
I would like an app on the PC that can send out a text message via my o2 HD2, example, “No training to night due to heavy snow” to up to 100 mobile numbers from a text list.
Any suggestions
my spec Vista 32, HTC HD2 win6.5
Set up a group on your device and then use MyMobiler to type the text.
Vodafone do a SMS app which integrates with Outlook on your PC - but not sure if it includes what you want.

I used to be able to use Mymobiliser, but for some reason my HD2 won’t send sms to more than 3 persons at a time. also creating a group is not the best as the contact numbers are held on a database. Ideally I would like a standalone application than ran on my PC and could send SMS message via my phone connected with the USB, like old Nokia software did.
One long shot option is to buy an old nokia phone, swap out sim cards and use their pc suite.

85. Increase the Number of Allowed Recipients in Group SMS
The max number of defualt contacts to send a group SMS is 10. You can change it to 50 by using this tweak:
HKLM\Software\Jataayu\Messaging\MaxRecipients
Change from 10 to 50
Try this
SMS Control Center might do want you want. There are paid and ad-supported versions.
It works for me with a HD2, Windows XP and ActiveSync.
I can't post links so you'll need to google for SMS Control Center.

Ok this product is looking good so far. hated the ads so "donated" $5 (£3.10) if it is solves my problems, would be worth every penny. it
I have tred Try Efficasoft Mobile Express in past, not sure of version and it crashed often.
and i need more than 50 recipients.
So will try this SMS Control Center and if it works nice.
SMS Control Center did not work, had error and crashed when trying to send sms to more than a few people at a time. I have sent the developer the error file and he is looking into it.
Also I looked at the registery solution and it is already set to 100.
Yet somehow I cannot add more than 4 UK mobile number to the “address bar” of the sms window, yet on my old XDA orbit2 can add 100.
Search continues, but for now I will switch sim card to old xda orbit to when I need to send out bulk text messages.

[Q] SMS Popup

I have been using "SMS popup" on my android phones for years now. Never had a problem until I installed it on this new Rezound. The SMS popup comes up when a new text comes in, it just doesnt pull up the person's profile photo as it's supposed to. It's got to be an HTC/Sense issue. I've used SMS popup on AOSP, Samsung Touchwiz, and Team Hacksung's ICS port for the Galaxy S; all of which funtioned properly.
I know I can get handcent but I really like the way this HTC messaging app looks (and its ad-free, unlike handcent). And SMS popup is such a simple way to accomplish the popup on incoming texts and still allow me to use the manufacturer's messaging app.
Has anybody else run into this problem or have any suggestions?
Thanks!
Do you have your contacts linked? Maybe it doesn't know which one to grab...
Alternatively go with Go SMS which is free and does pop up.

Some contacts are linked, some arent. Either way, neither contact photos shows up.
The way my contacts are set up is, I have a google gmail contacts. None of those have any photos in them. Then I also let facebook sync my friends list to my contact list. Some facebook friends also have a google gmail contact equivalent. Those are the ones that are linked.
This is the same way I've always done my contacts on all my other android phones and it's never been a problem. This HTC phone is the first time I've ran across this problem. It's like the SMS popup is calling for a contact photo, but the HTC version of the contact app is calling it by a different name.
Weird, SMS popup works just fine for me pulling up the contact pic using sense etc (innefilibis ROM if that matters)
By the way, I used Handcent for years (with the ads blocked) but this is the first phone I like the stock SMS so much (with red theme bubbles) I didn't even bother installing it.

How to send sms with Verizon version?

How does one do this?
Shouldn't you be able to do that by default? I mean you have the 3G one and Messaging works fine for me
No messaging app
There are a few messaging apps in the market (sorry, on Google Play...) that do this, but I think they assign an arbitrary phone number. I tried one but found it much easier to just pull my phone out of my pocket and use that.
Edit: I just checked, and you can download Verizon Messages from Play, which looks like it would work.
Edit again: Verizon Messages has to be paired with a Verizon smart phone or something to get it to work? I gave up...
well damn

Try GoSMS. Your tablet HAS a phone number, otherwise you wouldn't have data.
No dice . . Go SMS doesn't show up on Play as compatible with the SCH-i905. Besides, the tab may have a phone number but it doesn't have a texting plan.
Use this Chrome extension and tutorial to grab the APK from your computer: http://codekiem.com/2012/02/24/apk-downloader/
Otherwise head to 4shared or some other site to hunt down the APK.

Pushbullet for notifications on your TrueSmart

Hi Folks. First of all, I'm new here. I just created a profile to suggest you the following:
Pushbullet; it's an app that allows you to send and receive notifications, links, files, etc, between devices.
So, I was thinking if maybe somebody knows a way around to use this app as a substitute for the Osmart Companion, that doesn't work so well and also depends completely on bluetooth. I'm using it right now to manually send stuff from my smartphone to the TrueSmart, but I just found out that Pushbullet now supports Tasker integration, what makes me think that, if you know how, it is possible to create a profile on Tasker that allows you to automatically send a notification to your TrueSmart whenever you receive a SMS, for example.
However, despite being a huge fan of android and apps in general, my programming skills sucks really bad, even at Tasker, which I guess must be programming for beginners.
Has anyone already tried to do something related? Please let me know.
Thanks!
I haven´t try that app, but I´m using 'Notisync' and, at least for me and until now, it´s working. The only one thing I don´t have got: automatically unlock the screen (I´m using Oclock) and show a window with the notification content in. For this, I´m using 'Notify me!' app. It turns on the screen, but not unlock it (it only shows the notification content if the screen is already on). I continue investigating .
I hope this helps someone.

I have tried many apps and so far at least this one tells me when someone is calling, i cant get it to alert me of texts though, i use hangouts as my text service default app but i even tried the standard messages app and it still doesnt allow the texts to go through, did you have to do anything special for the texts?
as for pushbullet i started messing with it the other day but all it does it notify my watch that theres a message waiting on my phone i still need to look at the phone to see/reply to the message.
figured out a way with pushbullet and tasker to show who the text is from and what the message said, now if only there was a way to reply

I don´t use SMS and never try that. But I tried an app called 'Tablet talk' that can syncronize SMS and phone calls (even when you receive phone call, it shows a window showing the contact photo and bottons to interact with that call). I configured the phone as 'phone' and the watch as 'tablet'. The problema I had was the same: it doesn´t unlock the Oclock screen.

Yeah i've been a user of tablet talk for a while and it is a good app just looking for others since i dont like always having to reconnect them together.
Hey everyone,
I contacted the developers of Push Bullet a few weeks ago when I got my TS. He indicated that it was a space they wanted to occupy for wearables and tablets. They have a number of things they're rolling out for their primary app first, but it's on the slate for the future.

how did you guys get it to install? Side load? It wont let me install from the play store since it says it is incompatible with device. I love pushbullet, and would love to use it with the TS
Yeah side loaded from dropbox.
sent from my note 3 running beans.
For sms I have been using google voice, hangouts and the XVoice+ Xposed plugin. here's how it works:
1) I have moved most people to use mt GV number to reach me as I have several PH numbers so step one is socialize the GV ph number.
2) XVoice+ forces all sms through the google voice app
3) in the google voice app > Settings > Sync and Notifications set recieve text messages to "via the messaging app.
4) if you want to use hangouts go through the steps to make it the default SMS/MMS client otherwise you can use what ever SMS app you want.
default result is I get the same conversation on my phone as on my PC as on my watch. For me this works out well.. the only issues i have are broadcast messages that are short message based like twitter to sms. Google Voice will not support these messages.

What specific functions to which are you referring? I use Hangouts and I can reply to text messages, using Gear Notification Extender.
I use an app called MySMS to sync SMS/MMS messages between my Mac, PC, and iPad. The Android app requires it to be the default messaging app for full functionality. If I set it as default, and attempt to send an SMS through the watch, I get a message saying it cannot send because the Messages app on the phone must be the default.
You can still send text from the watch using Messages if you don't make it default. When the watch asks to change the default app, I choose "Cancel" and it still goes to the next screen. I create new text that way without issues.
Does that work only for sending with the watch's number or for when it's connected via bluetooth or remotely to the phone as well?
Frankly I haven't tried the remote connection. If I sent a text with Bluetooth, it uses my phone's number.
