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.

from my Understanding this will be working in gingerbread once it is released. This also goes for skype
It works great... but it really needs the ability to start a hangout. I do think that this is coming. Punit Soni seems to indicate it.

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.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
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
Con: No sync with phone

what do you mean? The messages i get on my phone using gv, show up on my tablet as well. If someone calls my phone and leaves a message, the notification pops up on my tablet as well. Is that what you mean? Every message i send and receive using GV, shows up on both devices.

I should have explained a little further.
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.
Due to a current medical condition I can't talk, thus the various work arounds for emailing & texting.

Of this current infinity, no. Of the next, who knows, maybe, maybe not.
Have you tried and asked any Windows tablet owners if they can dual boot android? (I have no idea)
Worst case scenario, buy these 3 things: Windows tablet, infinity tablet, superglue
I'm just kidding of course. I'm sure there is something out there that can give you dual boot, I remember seeing a video of a large tablet (more than 10") that could do this, maybe it was even Asus, can't fully remember.

One anther question..
Can i run USB modems on TF700 ?
Just for using the sim card for whatsapp, tango, and viber..
Or should say in the question: how can i run or use simcard on the infinity?
Or also this is impossible and there's no way to use whatsapp, tango, and viber on infinity!

I will be honest, I don't fully understand your question, and could be others aren't either.
Are you speaking of the infinity version with carrier Internet or the wifi version?
I'd say most of us on here have the wifi version, meaning we don't have a sim card.

It should be possible to use a 3G dongle on tf700t but i didn't test it myself because i don't have a dock. Search a bit here on XDA, i'm sure you will find useful info regarding 3G dongles.

Maybe if you buy the original USB adapter from Asus and then hook the 3G dongle, otherwise i can't see how you could use it, the tablet alone doesn't have an USB/Micro USB port.

I cannot promise you that this is 100% correct, but I believe it is said in another thread that Windows 8 requires a different type of software at the boot loader / startup level. Boot loaders cant be flashed anymore after the patch from .26 to .30 when ICS was the stock ROM and you cannot downgrade from .30 to .26. That is why it is said to get NVFLASH which could be done on the earlier versions so if a corruption happened it could be restored. Once you are on 4.1.1 or 4.2.1 you are out of luck, like I was.

Edit: Actually - I take that back! Just looked at the Asus AiO, an 18" (!!) Android running tablet docked to a Windows 8 running base, dual booting, great specs and sells for $1270 on Amazon. Damn! Now I can't wait for my desktop to croak....

yeah haha, I'm sure it will have a hefty price tag too!
not to forget mentioning:
what's going to go on with updates to each OS, - how will that be administered?
How slow will it be when asus needs to pair those updates (if it does), i.e. android goes to 4.3, but windows not ready and stays same version.
how much space is left in the device after have Android in there as well as hefty windows OS?
how much support/attention will this get from developers - I don't see many. "bootloader? which one? how?"
Can one run a custom android rom while the other stays stock wondows?
many unknowns here (for us, not general user of course)
still a neat device = yes
do i really also need windows on my tablet, and do I need one larger than 10.1" = no
and asus can remove the 4k hdmi out of the new infinity and focus on I/O, I hope new owners dont get stuck like we did (and tf200 users).
first thing i'll be interested to see are the benchmarks. Thank goodness for sdbags and everyone who make the tablet (tf700) what it should have been, and probably better!

Awesome, free app for sms and mms from tablet

Hey folks, I stumbled upon a fantastic app that I wanted to share. It's called mighty text, it's free and it works great. You have to download the client on both your phone and tablet devices, register through your Gmail and then you can start sending and receiving texts and picture messages using your regular phone number. I've seen similar apps but they all require Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity this does not. Sorry I don't have a link but if you go over to the play store and type in mighty text you'll find it

Love it too! Phone stays in kitchen or bedroom while I am out on the deck or the family room with the tablet. This allows me to keep my phone in the charger when I'm home. I also added text to voice reader so when the tablet isn't open, it will still read all of my incoming texts to me.
