Hi All,
This is a question for those of you who have used Google Hangouts and kept an eye on it.
What is the mechanism of syncing this app? Does it send any keep-alives? Does it require separate synchronization (is there another item in Google sync list in Accounts)?
Or, if I re-phrase the question, does it work on the same backbone Gmail does (IMAP)? From the technical perspective, does receiving a Hangout message looks the same as getting email in Gmail? Or is it a separate mechanism with its own process in memory, its own traffic, etc. that will in its turn increase network traffic and battery drain?

Are instant messengers available that work like push email.
For example rather then have a constant internet connection that eats battery life an app that only makes a connection to check if there's new messages just like push messaging
Do any app's like this exist and if they don't is it even possible to create something like this

I could be wrong, but it think this is something the IM service would have to incorporate into their service, & AFAIK, none of them do. Depending on your service, i would suggest setting up IM Forwarding. I know AIM allows messages to be forwarded to a cell phone once you sign off, not sure about others though.
I see so it would be similar to how the POP3 and IMAP features work with email
I wonder how much it will take to convince any IM company to incorporate these features

There is Whatsapp (Beta) available perhaps in a month for my opinion the best push messaging client. And pingchat this app is available just search with google.
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).
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
I was wondering if there are any other apps out there that allow you to send and recieve sms messages to and from a alternative number over the data network.
I love the theory of Google Voice, however have found that the app is a bit buggy and some what of a battery hog.
Thanks in advance
This might seem a dumb question to anyone who can answer it... But I'm having trouble figuring this out
I have 2 android devices - my phone and my car stereo. I would like to have recent/new SMS messages that I get while driving synced over to my car stereo so it can display them while my phone is firmly in my pocket where it legally should remain. I have had a look at MySMS, MightyText and Pushbullet, but I can't figure out if any of these are suitable. They all seem more interested in telling me about how I can text from my PC. MySMS seems also to need me to switch SMS app to theirs which I'm not keen on doing.
What I want to know is whether there are any good SMS sync apps that:
* Can be told to only sync recent or new (at the time) messages.
* Don't require me to use their SMS app (on the phone at least - not that fussed on the stereo).
* Store the synced messages into the Android SMS database so I can use other apps for processing (reading, displaying in large text, etc).
* Won't sync deletes - I don't need to keep messages on the stereo, so they would be set up for automatic deletion - I want to keep them on my phone.
* Preferably doesn't require me to sign up to web based services I don't need - local only sync would be fantastic.
Is such an app available?
