Hi all,
A quick question ... does anyone know of a good Facebook Chat XMPP transport? I am using transports to view my IM contacts in Google Talk, but the Facebook transport I am using (hot-chilli.net) doesn't seem to support my status - even when I set myself to Away or Invisible, I still stay visible for Facebook chat. It also doesn't bring across names, and manually naming 100 Google Talk contacts that initially are called 100001737548/[email protected] is a pain...
Anyone know of a Facebook transport that supports availability and/or naming?
Can you log in from gtalk also if you have open facebook.com?
In my case trasport service stop to go and i have to resend the autorization from psi...
I can't auto reconnect from gtalk! Can you help me?
Thank you

Hi all, i was on the phone with t-mo today and the girl told me that the msn\live messenger messages that i send and recieve uses SMSes and not internet.
is that true or was she plain stupid?
i've researched this online and coudlnt get a conclusive answer so i thouhgt i'd ask you guys since some of you have prolly seen the code itself and can answer me correctly and easily...
so which is it - internet or texts?

From what I understand, the IM app is counted towards text messages, this means, google, MSN, Yahoo, AOL messages within the stock IM app is text messages.
I think GTalk use the Internet (wifi/3g or whatever data connection you're on) while other "chat" services use SMS.
But now there's free Hi MSN in the Market (and Meebo has been for quite some time) when you want to use MSN "for real".

GTalk will works over the internet, either via 3G or WiFi.
All other protocols will only use WiFi over the internet - any conversations via a cellular network will be via SMS and not over 3G/GPRS.

wow!
that's absurd!
nobody said anything about it either!
why did they do that?!
The crap? That sounds like the stupidest thing ever. Leave it to a cell carrier to come up with a stupid idea like that. Just use Hi MSN or Hi AIM.
The carrier makes money on the text messages, Google gets GTalk usage - and he consumer is - as always - screwed. "Business plan" is another word for the phenomenon...
(Don't get me wrong -I love most of Google's stuff, even GTalk - but as virtually no one else use GTalk, it's pretty useless to me...)

How do i disable conversation view in gmail on android ... it isn't that i don't like conversation view ... the issue that i have with it is when enabled you cannot assign different labels to different threads within one conversation
Thanks in advance

Wow no one interested in this? I have the same question for my galaxy s
Same question here... can't stand conversation view on anything. Maybe just not used to it... but anyways....
Is there a way to disable conversation view in the Gmail app?
Same with me.
Same here too. I know that you now have the ability to switch off conversation view in desktop gmail. Need the same for android gmail. Perhaps in a future update Google?
Perhaps some time in the very distant future, by the looks of it
Google developers seem to be focussed on teenagers (in an effort to compete with Apple, perhaps?), who invariably receive tiny e-mails and have no problem with dozens or even hundreds of messages being bundled together - but when you're actually trying to get anything of consequence accomplished via e-mail, you'll very quickly find yourself rushing to the nearest computer to open your Gmail, 'cause stumbling through dozens of hundred-line-long messages in threaded view on the 'phone is an utter nightmare.
For the time being, it looks like the only solution is to enable IMAP in your Gmail account, then use K-9 Mail to access it that way (and disable mail synchronisation in Android for your Gmail account so you don't get double the notifications).
Whatsapp is a very good messaging service. It can be very useful for sending images, videos, contacts and group messaging, etc. As with every app, whatsapp could also go for some improvements. But one of the most important, I feel, is a desktop client paired with multi-device sync. Hangouts, by Google, and Facebook Messenger, by Facebook already provide these services to their users. What multi-device sync means is you will get all your messages to all the devices and desktop you are signed in to with your same whatsapp number.
Why-
Whenever a user gets a notification of a message on whatsapp he has to turn to his mobile device to look read the message. That can be painful if you are sitting on your desktop/laptop and your mobile is away. This might seem like a small thing but it always diverts you from your desktop. It is more difficult to manage for the people with more than one phone. They are limited to having whatsapp with one number to one phone. So, if anything happens to the phone with whatsapp all their messages are gone.
How-
One of the best ways to do it is, is to integrate with facebook. Not with facebook messenger but with every user's facebook id. Whatsapp can offer every user a choice, if they want to have whatsapp on desktop and other phone with the same number, they can sign in with their facebook id and then that facebook id can be linked to their number. Now once you sign in to any other whatsapp with your facebook id, it finds out the number linked with the id and verifies it and then all your contacts and messages will appear on the client. But this shouldn't mean that all the people with their facebook id or their facebook id linked with whatsapp should directly come to your whatsapp favorites. Whatsapp should still depend on phone contacts for favorites. Facebook id should only be used for the sync.
There are other ways to achieve this too. One of them is integrating with facebook messenger but I don't think that will go well with everyone. From the time whatsapp is owned by facebook we have been expecting some changes. And this could be a great one for both whatsapp and facebook.
What are your thoughts on this?
Try this

Hello, frequently I recieved sms from certain companies (google calendar notifications, my home banking, my football club, etc) and these sms came already with name of the sender and they are not in my contact list.
How can I add an image to these contacts?!
I've manually add Google as an contact and put the Google's logo but the avatar doesn't appear in the hangouts.

the messages you are getting are different sms... not like others i guess... like we get for promotional ads... they automatically have name in them.. and you can't see there no so you can't save them... and i guess you just can't apply picture to them..

The way I did it it, for example Google Calendar, added Google Calendar to contacts in gmail using +148368 as the mobile phone number and then changed the photo to one of a calendar (or whatever). Then I followed Google Calendar on G+, I also on the Google Calendar G+ page added that same number (+148368) not sure if you need to do the last step or even if you have to follow on G+ but there was a delay on it changing on hangout so I'm not quite sure if you have to follow. Sometime adding the +1 to the phone number is what works, and sometimes you just need to use the short code, for example US Bank uses a short code of 872265 and I didn't need to add the +1 for that. So for example Twitter, you need to use +140404 and if you already follow Twitter on G+ the avatar will also show up in gmail contacts. The whole think is convoluted but it finally is working for me except Google Voice sent sms.
Hi together,
I am searching for an Android app I can use to write and read my SMS via Browser/PC.
Should be very easy and simple and not oversized with the need to get too much access rights like e.g. pushbullet etc.
Would be great if someone would give some tipps for that
Thanks in advance

i was searching for a specific solution... found this post... figured i'd share with you what i've learned so far.
i've been using "sprint with google voice integration" for a year or so. it provides the ability to text via the google/voice webpage. but - while the google voice (full) allows you to use SMS, MMS, gifs / attachments, etc. - "the sprint with google voice integration" just allows you to do SMS.
so i was (and still am) considering switching to google voice (full) but it would cost me ~ $60 to get my phone number ported to google voice ($40 to sprint for activation of old phone to avoid losing subsidy on new phone and $20 to google voice).
i found this website which lists apps that you can use which (i believe all) receive the text on your phone then send it to the web and notifies you on the web browser if you have the webpage open. however, because i need to be able to send & receive messages when my phone is off, i think that the only option is google voice.
