Best app for group messaging? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm trying to figure out a way that my clan on Clash of Clans can more easily communicate outside of the app. Something simple enough to where we can put it in the clan description. I thought about hangouts, but I don't think everyone is going to want to give out their email. You guys know any good simple apps to get that done?

If his clan members aren't willing to share their email addresses then do you think they would be willing to share their phone numbers?

Kik?

Thanks for posting about this! I'd never heard of it but now I'm very excited. I just applied for the beta. I'm wondering if walking down to their office tomorrow and begging in person will get my invite any faster! Should I do it?!
i find a conflict in one of the founders of Microsoft spending $20 million for software for a competing platform.
why not develop Kiha for Microsoft if he believes in the product so much?
i'd be afraid of getting the app and have it dumb down my phone or in some way make it so we want to change over to Microsoft of something....it's a conspiracy i tell you
Koush works for kiha. He was heavily involved in this project.

I would contact their tech support, I'm sure there is a way to report bugs since it is a beta.

So I received there invite to the beta last night and I was very excited about it. Until I started filling out the info etc and started seeing how they collected all my data of all the sites I visit on my PC and phone (um nooo thanks). And something to the effect that them and 3rd parties can look at my emails and passwords, basically stalk me!! And as I kept reading I started getting more freaked out like WTF for real?? And then I decided not to go further or use it! The real kicker was when they told me that after the beta is over that I should change my emails password?!!?!?!?!? HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLZ NO, NOT USING THIS BS!!!
I'm sticking to what I've been using which is Gmail and AOL mail... I've good thus far and I'm sure I'll continue to do so from this point on lol
I really don't advise anyone to use this crap, I mean by all means you can If you don't mind handing over all your info etc- Just read all they ask for and then tell me if you start to feel bothered!!??

International texting app?

Hi,
I've been using HeyWire for free international texting and now they suddenly withdrew the int'l coverage. Am wondering if there's an alternative out there?
Regards,
Nibras.
Yeah I installed it about 10 minutes ago and there's no international sms, they really should edit their description.

Yup and a lot of people seem to be disappointed. They might bring it back if a large user base objects it. Btw, did you find an alternative?
Try What's App. It's got a funny name, but it works.

What's App has no SMS support, right? It's an IM platform, isn't it? Something like Kik messenger or Blackberry messenger.

Google+

Anybody else in this forum have Google+? I want to test some of the features.
I sent a request for an invite but still have yet to receive it so I'm just waiting around until then.
pm me your email
I got invitation but still can't login... google disabled invitations already tho...

You got to check at the right time, I do love the idea of a completely integrated social network with my email and like every other thing Google provides. The GUI is similar to Facebook but with different terminology and more features. I think it has potential.

Might take a while to receive (think it's currently closed, but when it opens next, go to your email and activate your account. It took me about 16 to receive my invite after being invited. Lemme know if you guys get an account/invite, and add me to a Circle We'll make an XDA One Peace x)
Anyone else that wants one, PM me your email address or post it here!

REQUEST ..iMesaage hack

Anyone have a way for us rooted blokes to get an imessage hack? Many people I know have iPhone and it would rock if I could have that functionality. I know the old app mimicked an iPad mini for it to work any ideas ?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
no idea how that would work at imessage isn't an open source app and goes through apples servers to work which means it would need some kind of ID
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
The previous app that was in the Google play and you can actually still search it basically spoofed the servers into thinking it was an iPad mini and. It worked

I'll would be interested in seeing something like this as well.

Did you actually use it or was that what you heard? This sounds like a really cool concept.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
There is an application out there for android that is supposed to do all that but you need an apple ID and password and it goes through some servers in China before going to apple so I'm not sure it would be worth it.
You can read about it here:

That app looks really, and I mean REALLY, sketch but it's a cool idea. Maybe someone on xda could try it out?

Honestly, it would be irresponsible to share it. I remember when it was doing the rounds, and it did actually work but it sent every IM, sent AND received, to and from a server in China. The privacy concerns are obviously high, not just for the Android user but primarily for the unaware iOS user.
I don't think that kind of thing should be encouraged on XDA.

Yeah, that app also had the ability to download apps in the background. There was a some saying that since it went through that server in China, it could have have the possibility to steal data from Apple IDs. Like credit card numbers. Its a shame, because it did work pretty good. Hopefully since Hangouts is on iOS now, maybe someday they'll be nice and bring iMessage to us.
Another solution would be to convert everyone to android so iMessgae would become irrelevant.

This sucks how can we not get this figured

The download apps in the background comment was a joke, but what's funny is its taken for truth so easily.
I very much doubt 'Fu Manchu' set this up to steal apple apps lol.
Don't matter to me which bunch of snoops read my ever so interesting messages, China USA whatever
