As a Google voice user it sucks not being able to use those widgets that allow you to see your SMS messages on the home screen or apps like SMS Popup. Now since Google Voice has push messages it would be cool to see some widgets and apps that take advantage of it. Getting to the point now, can anybody make a widget that shows your incoming Google Voice messages?

Are you saying you don't like the current form of notification that just shows an indicator in the tray at the top? Just curious.
No I just hate not being able to use those widgets that show your sms messages.
Sort of like the SMS widget on Sense?

Lots of work-arounds but I'm with you. Wish there was a widget or popup.
You could go into your GV Settings and have your SMS forwarded to your phone, which would put them in your SMS widgets and popups. However, that defeats the purpose of having free SMS with Google Voice, which is why I stopped forwarding the messages to my phone when the new Push version of the app came out.
You could also go into GV Settings and have SMS forwarded to your gmail address, and then the texts would show up in any Gmail widget, such as Pure Messaging Widget. You can reply to the SMS via email.

That is a good idea but I've found that forwarding SMS messages to GMail to not be that reliable. Inbox Syncronizaiton usually gets me my message on time.
i would like to see the fancy little chat bubbles in gvoice sms
superficial, i know lol
however, the notification bar only says "google voice, 1 unread message" not a brief summary of the message which would be cool
This is why I bounce between using the GV app and fwd mt texts. I'd love an SMS notify widget for google voice. Im sure the dev could add th4e option to use it with GV.
I saw a backup app on the Market that lets you backup your call logs to your Google Calendar. I'm just wondering if there is a similar app that does the same for SMS's?
"Call log calendar" do it for sms too.

Yes for me too.
This application keeps track of SMS notifications of incoming calls when you are not available, each mobile operator provides a different name (Missed Call Alert).
- When you receive one of these SMS you will get a notification and a call log with your contacts is updated.
- Clicking on items in the list you can call, send SMS, see the contact details, etc...
- The Find SMS feature allows to clean up SMS messages by importing older calls in the program
This program is free and supported by ads banner and reviews on the Market.
If you are a customer of a not supported mobile operator, or have problems in the recognition of SMS, send me an e-mail with the text message that usually get.
NOTE:
- Any Task Killer can interfere with the operation of the application. Be sure to place the application on the white list.
- If you use Handcent SMS, GoSMS or other applications to manage SMS remember to activate priority option in Settings.
- Finally, to make the application work it must have been opened at least once after installation.
Please post a reply with the text of the SMS you usually receive to let me add support of your country.
Play Store
I have Google Voice, and I want to be able to sms from Sliding Messenger Free - can't post the link because I am a new member but it is on the play store.
I am having trouble getting the number to show up as my google voice # for the recipient.
I have GV set to receive texts to sliding messenger, but when I go to sliding messenger to send one it displays my service number. It works fine for replying to messages though.
On Google Voice website I have it set to use my Google Voice number when sending sms so I don't know why it isn't working.
Galaxy S2 Virgin Mobile.
Contacts app is not syncing wahtsapp.
I mean:
- from whatspp I can see my contacts, so whatsapp is indeed accessing my contacts
- but from contacst app, when opening details of a contact, I can only send SMS or email or do a Duo call, no way to send a whatsapp
Ok never mind, even this time I managed by myself in 5 minutes hahahahaha :-D
I had to enable: enable 3rd party integrations...
thx and sorry
