Can we text with our Note 10.1?

Before this tablet was released and the rumors were flying about specs and features, I thought I read somewhere that we would possibly be able to "tether" in a way from our phone and be able to send texts from our tablet using our cell phone's number basically. Does anyone else remember hearing this rumor too and better yet, is this feature available and anyone know how to enable it?

Try MigtyText if your phone is android. Works for me

Yes it possible, I've been using Google voice free from the play store, just set up Google voice which will give u a gvoice phone number and you should be able to make calls and send text messages over any wifi. The only down side is that you can't receive calls so if somebody calls they will be asked to leave a voice mail and you will receive a email with the voice mail to download and listen to.. In my opinion its awesome cause its free and it works

It's possible to receive calls as well -- check out GrooVe IP

Check tablet talk. Pairs up through bluetooth/wifi and let's you text from tablet.

Thanks but it says that the app is not compatible with my device. Can you dropbox the apk for me?

You install the app on your phone, not the Note
Then you send texts from the web page on the Note
See my screenshot on previous post

One word answer: YES
Tablet Talk Paid app, syncs to your phone via wifi or bluetooth. Text directly from your Galaxy Note.
MySMS (Tablet) Syncs between the mysms app on your phone. Allows for SMS and MMS to be sent from your tablet or desktop, all free.
TabletSMS Same as mySMS, text from the tablet directly, desktop, or phone. Be warned that this is $5/year.

I always had to have it open to receive texts. If I closed it and forgot I would find texts days, weeks, or months later. Nice idea, poor implementation. Needs to work like regular text apps. If I close them I still get notifications.

So many of the products Google puts out like Voice seem very half-assed to me. For instance voice mail transcription in Google Voice is so pathetically bad its funny. I get a voicemail from my mom asking me to get her a salad for lunch and the transcription is something like:
"Hi, mom on mars. Pick up syringes for grunge."

Just purchased this one and it is amazing! Sms's are sent instantly via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi depending on your choice of how you connect your tablet to the phone using the app.
The best thing is, if you use a Bluetooth headset and it is paired with your phone, this app allows you to call and reject phone calls from the tablet. The phone can be left in your pocket as the app also has caller id. The calls are handled by your phone and controlled by this app. Also those who wish to use the new Bluetooth pen for calling can use it too via this app.
Who needs 3g anymore? Not me, that's for sure, I have saved myself £100.

Just purchased this. Cannot find app in Market on my Galaxy S II to download it. Not in MyApps there either.
I'll attempt to sideload it from my tablet.

Huh?
I just went to the Play Store on my PC and it basically says the "Tablet Talk" is pretty much compatible with every phone ever made EXCEPT the Epic 4G Touch. WTH? Why not? Tried emailing the developer but their email link is broken.
Not happy.
---------- Post added at 09:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:29 AM ----------
Ok, their customer service emailed me the .apk. I installed it on my phone. Made my phone and tablet discoverable to each other and paired.
Tablet Talk cannot connect to phone bluetooth.
I noticed when setting things up they ask for a password, but at no point in the connection process is the password requested. Makes me think I am missing a step in here somewhere?

I'm using Tablet Talk on my Epic 4g Touch through my Galaxy Note 10.1 & Nexus 7 tablets via WiFi....
I just wish it had the ability to do MMS, the only shortcoming. Other then that its a great program.

Yes I was finally able to connect via wifi. Bluetooth would not work.

That is strange because I was not asked at any point to put in a password. Maybe it is the phone model causing the issue.
The developer has an active forum where you can ask the questions as to why you are having issues, link below:

SMS to a group

Hey guys...
I need to text a group in my contacts and I would like to select certain contacts within that group. I used to be able to do this in jelly bean, but can't seem to do it in kit Kat. I know GoSms does it, but I find that app way to heavy and it generally slows down the phone. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Try Textra. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.textra
It is similar to the stock 4.3 messaging app, but does groups.

Thanks for the reply, but with Textra, you can text to a group but you can select certain members of that group. That app is so close to being perfect though. Any other suggestions? This is impossible with hangouts I guess?

Try Smart Messenger.
I'm not sure if you can do what you're describing with Hangouts, but I do know that group SMS in Hangouts are automatically sent as MMS. If you or anyone else you text with gets charged per MMS, that's going to be an issue.

[Q] Chatting in S6 Default Messaging App???

I've had a Galaxy s6 since the day it came out. I've had conversations with several people using the DEFAULT MESSAGING APP and every one of them communicates using the typical SMS messages. I also have a few friends who also have an s6 and my conversations between them are the same.
But one conversation that I have with one of my friends communicates using CHAT. It tells me when my message was delivered and when it was read. It sends large files without any compressing. I can't seem to get any other conversations in this app to do the same. And we can't find any information on how our conversation got like this. Can anyone provide me with some information on this?

Do you use Hangouts??

I used hangouts at one point, but I disabled it and am strictly using the default messaging app now.

I have no idea ..... I was trying to get it like you but with no luck ...
Sent from my SM-G920F using XDA Free mobile app

WOW! As soon as i give up and post a question, I find an answer. It's ENHANCED MESSAGING. And it only works between Galaxy s6 series phones. Allows you to send a multimedia message with pictures, voice recordings, audio or video files, contact cards (vCard), appointments (vCalendar), as well as large files (up to 1 GB).
I guess both phones need to have it enabled. And my other friends with an s6 havent enabled it yet. I'll be able to confirm this in the morning. But that's what it looks like.

And how to enable it?

How to Hide Caller 's recent conversation history ?

I want to hide the recent call and message history of the caller shown while receiving a call. Attached herewith, the snapshot of the problem i'm referring to.
Kindly let me know where to find the option to disable this feature.
I have Galaxy S7 (SM-G930FD).
Thanks,
Varun

Has anyone tried disabling this feature? Or can't it be disabled?

I remember having to give my dialer permission to access the history.... You can try deleting the last message using your texting app, and then deleting recent calls on the log screen

For SMS history go to settings, privacy and safety, app permissions and disable sms for contacts

Go to application manager, and at the top select More and then the reset option.
Your permissions will be reset for all apps, including dialer.. Then if the dialer asks for sms access, deny.

Issue with Google Messenger

Just received the Mate 9 that is officially released in USA, but discovered couple issues with Google Messenger:
1. Even for those who are in my list of contact, whenever they send me text, I can only seem them as "Unknown sender"
2. Can only receive text but no way to reply.
Any idea?

Hi, know issue, I've switched to Signal

I've also seen this issue pop up randomly. Does anyone know of a fix?

GM works fine for me...stock does not when sending pictures.

Just an observation using OK Google command to send at text.
For example: If I say, Ok Google, Send a text to Joe.
It will let me dictate a text to Joe (in my contacts) but it does not record what I dictated in Huawei's messenger app.
Although it does correctly send the text using Huawei's app.
However, if I use Hangouts it does record what I dictated in the Hangouts app messager.
and the text is sent successfully.
The command I used was, Ok Google, Send a text to Joe using Hangouts.

I've been using Hangouts with GV and I have had zero issues so far

Same here. Also Google keyboard has non active gif option

I don't know if this will help, but - using the built-in SMS app - I quickly discovered that my contacts' mobile phone numbers must be in the format +1 ########## ("plus 1, space, 10-digit number with no spaces or hyphens"). That at least allowed me to send texts to individuals and see them as senders, but (as noted elsewhere in this forum), the built-in app does not send pictures nor does it handle group texts in MMS properly. Since Huawei warns against using third-party apps due to potential battery drain, I consider this a flawed phone and have requested a refund.

Having the same issue here, even worse with hangouts, in hangouts all texts show in one conversation thread,
I've tried the +1 space number and that didn't fix the issue for me

I had this issue as well unknown sender took the plunge and deleted all my texts and now have no issue with GM.

I tried to switch from stock apps to g-messenger but I experienced issues mentioned here:
* all messages are showing unknown sender
* there no option to reply
is this an issue with the messenger app or the phone version (MHA-L00) ?

The previous message issue is ok for now; just need to create new text message thread and it'll be fine.
The newer issue I'm facing has something to do with pictures in text message. I can send, but cannot receive. One way traffic ain't exactly too much fun at this point.

I had this issue too, even wiping all previous messages didn't work. SMS through Hangouts wasn't working either. I switched to Textra.

Great phone but a bad stock messenger app. So I switched to Google Messenger and the problems began with not receiving MMS. This needs to be fixed!

This did not work for me.

I downloaded the latest Google messenger apk from apk mirror and now it works. If you download the app from the play store it doesn't receive MMS. Also the only way to get rid of unknown sender is to delete all texts. The version I downloaded was Google Messenger 2.1.060 (3735832-30.phone) (arm) (nodpi) (Android 4.4+)
