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

Question #1: Not everyone has an android phone, but an android tablet, though I want rid of my iPhone, do you know if the App Store has the MightyText app as well?

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.

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.

hi
i would like to know if there is an app that allows you to send text messages through your phone using a tab.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium
TexTab uses Bluetooth connection between the two-works really well. There is TexTab lite to try before you buy
SyncSMS works via dropbox but I can only give a mixed report, found it random and support not the best for a paid app

TabletTalk is another good app.
I use it cause it also notify for calls/missed calls.

Tablet Talk is a lot better than TexTab IMHO; I've used both a lot.

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?

I'm using Tablet Talk:

So how much battery does it actually drain while constantly listening over BT or WiFi?
SyncSMS

Preferably something free. I don't care if I have to be on the same wifi network, that's how Airdroid works

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).

So does SyncSMS work pretty good? Thinking about trying it but don't want to buy unless it really is worth the $3.00

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.

Oh great, i wish to test SyncSMS with my TF700 and my Galaxy Note.
For Whatsap, there is also a solution ?
MySMS works, I'm not a huge fan of how exactly it works, but it does work. I'll keep using it and see if I really like it or not.

too apps like Viber, Tango and WhatsApp are available in Androis, iOS and WP7
so last night i was riding in a car and needed to take some notes, popped open my tablet with the keyboard because it was a bumpy road and figured using my fingers on the screen would be hopeless to get the amount of information as quickly as it needed to get put down.. so i tried two different tablet apps i had installed (no internet at the time to find others) and both wouldn't let me use the keyboard to take notes... both wanted stylus/finger mode only... I also tried to use google drive but it wouldn't let me create anything new in offline mode.
any options here folks that one can think of? im not really interested in installing 1000+ notepad apps on the market to find one via brute testing..
thanks.

ill try again tonight when im get home. maybe i was just frustrated in the car that it wouldn't work instantly so i couldn't find it
There is a keyboard option at the top. Perhaps it needs to be pressed first?
