SMS Sync vs. My SMS Sync

I'm actually coding my own SMS Sync App.
I'm still waiting for my Transformer but I want to be able to send SMS right away - and to receive them on my Transformer too.
So what is different to the SMS Sync app? Actually, it's like a backup app. SMS's are getting backuped to my server. and the transformer is "recovering" them from the server. Same the other way: Send the sms from the Transformer in => SMS's will be sent from the other Android device.
The big difference to the SMS Sync App is: Everything is happening in the Transformer SMS Application! And it's super-fast, as it's working using a direct connection to my server, not using Dropbox. And it's backuped there in a Database, so whenever I'm doing a hardreset, the SMS's are getting recovered ultrafast.
It's still in beta, and I'm not sure if it will hit public, but it's just rocking on my 2 Android devices I have. But as said - Still waiting for the Transformer...
I'm very busy atm, so I'm coding it to work for my devices only. If there is a bigger resonance, I might go public. Biggest problem would be server-side. running it on my servers would be possible but then everything should be encrypted on the devices. Or, I could too use a Dropbox-approach where the data will be in your dropbox account (and on dropbox's servers, not mine), but that's not really a fast solution.

Sounds cool. Hit me with an IM if you would like a tester.

This sound sick. This is one of the main features I really wanted from the transfomer so I hope you get it done. I was interested in the otehr SMS app but did not really think using drop box to store them first was the most convient way to do so.
So if you need any tester, I'm here for you.

Ya let me know would be happy to test sounds awesome

Now working 100% manuallly. Just have to build a service and boing - I'm done
And my transformer will be here on Monday, can't wait to test it on the transformer! Yeah!

Sounds great! I'm happy to help test anything for you, PM me if you want anything!
EDIT: I have my own server too

Awesome. I am having some delivery issues with SMS sync. Would love to be involved in the testing! I'm in if you need me

My Transformer should finally come tomorrow, so I will then try it on the transformer.
(tried it on 2 2.X-Android devices and on the 3.0 and 3.1-Emulator with success)

Any more news on this bad boy??
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk

Actually yes. The system is working... except for that there is no SMS app on the transformer
I've now used Handcent SMS and the SMS are correctly restored and viewable on the transformer (as it is using the same, system database).
Sending isnt working yet. My approach is to intercept the sms as soon as it is queued in the system database, but handcent is queuing in their own app.
I'm thus looking on a way to install the standard SMS app on the transformer. But my time is limited at the moment...
Any ideas?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk

The stock one is open source, you could mess with that.

What about Go sms ?? Do they do it the same as Handcent??
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk

anymore news did you try go sms?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk

I might not know what I'm talking about, but as pointed out: the stock one is open source. Otherwise one could simply take stock SMS application and then push it with adb to the transformer. I, however, have no idea how it will react, if certain libraries are needed...
What the hell, I can test it. Bbl.
Edit: Didn't try it since I got my hands on SyncSMS which works as I like it to. Sorry.

So anything still going on with this our is it dead?

Try using Titanium backup to send the SMS app backup to your tablet and restore it there.

[HOWTO] Fix Facebook notifications!

This is a post from Android Central member ccw1134:
"So let's set the table here. Facebook Push Notifications are the golden egg that we're all looking for. Well after reading this you can go obsess about something else...finally (I know I will). I have been beyond frustrated with the chaos that has surrounded this subject. I've spent way too many hours reading and reading then reading some more. I am proud to say that I finally cracked the elusive Facebook Push problem.
I switched from Verizon to Sprint last week (work decision) so I went from a Droid Incredible to a EVO 3D. I was hoping that my Push notification would work when I switched since they never had. To my dismay they did not. My daughter went from a BB Curve to the Motorola XPRT and her FB push notifications worked! She always would always say "Dad you're phone's not so Incredible now, is it?" So when I got my EVO 3D and it didn't work I really became obsessed. After comparing settings on both phones and Facebook settings I found the one anomaly. The list of authorized apps within Facebook (Account dropdown>Account Settings>Applications on the right side of the page) on the computer showed "Facebook for BlackBerry Smartphones" on hers but not mine. It's so simple yet outside of the box. The key is BlackBerry permissions! I am willing to bet that everyone who has working notifications on Android came from a BlackBerry. Okay onto the good stuff.
- Find someone with a working BlackBerry. This could be a friend or any store that has activated demo phones. - Using the Facebook app on the BB log into your account and wait for your stuff to start appearing. I did not log into email or anything else, just FB. - After you see your Newsfeed updated with your information simply log out. - Go into your FB settings on your Android phone and check the Notifications box. The refresh interval doesn't matter (it can even be set to Never). - Notifications should start appearing as you get them (Comments, Wall Posts, Pokes, Likes, Messages, etc.)
I did notice a couple of things that I hope get improved in the notification process. Messages and Friend Requests have their own separate icons for notifications just as they always have. Comments, Wall Posts, , Tagging, Pokes and Likes all share the new notification icon that you will start seeing. Because of this if someone pokes you and then you get a comment or whatever, your Poke notification is gone (I'm assuming because the FB App doesn't officially support Poking yet therefore it doesn't know how to handle that notification) and won't know who poked you. Also if you should happen to click on the poke notification doesn't take you anywhere useful, just the list of notifications (for the same reasons listed in the previous sentence). This is a small sacrifice for now. If someone tags you in a post (I assume a picture will be the same way) you also will still get an email notification to whatever email you use. Just an FYI on that.
For the record I am on Sprint using a nonrooted HTC EVO 3D running 2.3.3 and Facebook is version 1.6.3. I do not believe the carrier, phone model, OS or Facebook version matter but I know there are those out there who want to know this type of stuff."
I will be trying this out, seems promising according to replies there!
(mods, I wasn't sure if this would be the right place so feel free to move it.)

Nope. I came from BB to Android and while I had notifications working about a month ago with a FB app update (nothing to do with switching from BB to Android), they no longer work and they didn't work when I initially switched over either.
I just checked my account settings and the Facebook for BlackBerry Smartphones is still listed there and still has permissions.
Think it is just a coincidence for you.

I don't know what the difference is but I installed the blacked out Facebook located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1200174
And I now receive notifications for the first time. I just installed the apk today so for me it worked and I have no reason to understand, just that I now get notifications. Can someone else confirm with this that they receive notifications?

The only way i got them to work was to create a new fb account.

Nope, did it last night. Deactivated, then signed back in to reactivate, all from the browser. All your settings, friends, and such stay the same. Now I get every notification.

So you deactivated your whole account from the computer browser? Then reactivated it? No blackberry hoops to jump through.

Are you sure it's all ok? I'm a page administrator too and it's clearly written that I won't get back my administration rights back automaticaly if I deactivate...

i moved the facebook app to the SD card then back to my phone and it seemed to have fixed notifications for me

Wow. So many different fixes it almost seems like coincidence now. I know facebook is free and all and we shouldn't ***** but those guys are getting rich and not really giving anything back. I mean come on? Don't you think somebody that works for them uses android app and can see it sucks?

Transformer IS an Android device! Probably you meant something else.
Also that post about Gingerbread - I hope I'll never see it on my eePad.
I've seen Hangout in iPhone menu, though - shorthanded by Google itself! Would be a real ***** if there's Hangout on ipads already.
As of now I can only join Hangout initiated by others, there definitely should be a button in Transformer app, too. Can anybody check if it is there on any other Android devices? My phone doesn't have a front camera, no Hangout button there.

yeah i know what the transformer is, that's why i posted the answer that you
can NOT start a video hangout with Android device, be it a phone or tablet.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk

Sorry, it wasn't clear from your first post.
Nevermind, what I mistakenly assumed was Hangout on iPhone was in fact Huddle, on Android it's called Messenger.
I managed to start Hangout form the computer and join from Transformer but, interestingly, there was no big blue "Join Hangout" button in iPhone stream that I had on eePad, I though it worked on iOS already.
It's hard to explain how to use these things to people on the other side of the circle if each of them has different functionality depending on their device and platform. Anyone seen it working on iOS?

An app to send/receive text messages from my phone on my tablet

I don't want to have to pull out my phone every two minutes to send/read a text message while using my tablet. I used Airdroid on my computer to read and send text messages on my phone, but it doesn't work on the tablet. Anyone know of an app to do this?

As far as I know, there are no free options that sync between your two devices (i.e., they take care not to screw up your conversation list).

MySMS is a pretty handy app which i use regularly on my tab, pc and phone.
The UI doesn't seem to be as fluid on the tab as it does on the pc and phone though (even with hardware acceleration turned on in MySMS settings).

I've always used Google Voice.
Pro: Free txt and calling (in US)
A spare phone number.
Gmail email notification & copy of txt

I use my Google Voice number to txt from a PC or my Tab 8.9 and do not use GV on my cell. I haven't linked the two numbers yet.

App worked fine for me this morning, got the weather read out to me by it also. Though I'd prefer to have an option for degrees centigrade and miles per hour instead of fahrenheit and miles per hour, but, minor issue really as app works great.

I really love this app until Xdabbabs latest Rom. The volume steps he uses makes this unusable. I loved how it read the weather too..kinda sucks lol

I will have to do some testing. I have not noticed that.
The only thing i can imagine is that you have some "unread" email from May 4th. Go to your email inbox and see if you have anything that was never marked as read on May 4th.
If you have nothing "NEW" or "UNREAD" that morning, you will not get any emails read to you that morning. In settings it does say UNREAD EMAIL ACCOUNT so only what is unread will be displayed.
But like i said. let me do some testing.
