GV push sms?

i have been using GV lately, love it esp because i can sms from my pc, but does anyone know of a way to push sms to phone, because the official GV app only does pull or you have to manually refresh the app to get sms, i wish it was instant.

You can change how often it updates but I think the lowest you can go is every 5 min.

and that still doesnt always refresh properly. I even searched on GV help forum the refresh 5 min rate sometimes doesnt work.

Isn't there a setting in Google Voice to forward SMS to your mobile number? Might not be exactly what you're looking for, but it does give you "push" SMS...

When i had my iphone i faced this problem. What you can do is create another gmail address, i.e. [email protected], go into your g voice settings in a browser and set it to forward sms to above email address. since the gmail app on android is push, you will get an email with the sms in it. you can reply to it just like you would a normal sms.

Could you also just make a label to filter them out, then you wouldn't even need a new address?

Yes, you could, which is actually what i do now since i dont need that method anymore. they forward to my regular email address, get a label applied and marked as read. Then if i need to reply from my computer i can just reply from my email rather than having to log into gv.
I had them seperated at first though on the iphone so i could keep the accounts seperate. hated digging through emails to find sms'

check this how-to out for SMS push workaround. i had to break apart the URL to avoid posting restrictions.

man that is a good solution, kind of a hybrid between what i was doing before on the iphone. I like it. good find.

Display sender's name instead of email address to the recipient. Sgr

I am using the default email client!(social hub) as provided by Samsung.
Whenever I send a message to anyone, my email address is shown.
As per me there is no such option where I can set the display name as is available in majority of email clients.
But still i would like to set my display name as my name and not my email address..
Please don't ask me to login via Web and change display name there. As its the property of email client and not of the email service provider....

Why are you starting a new thread for this buddy ?
You have asked this question already &
here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1820638
Kindly understand that starting a new thread won't help you get an answer faster or better, you could wait for someone to answer the question in the previous thread.

This ^ is correct. Please don't create duplicate threads just because your first one doesn't get an answer. There's always the Q&A thread which gets a bit of traffic, too.
Thanks!

[APP][Free] MeMail - quick email and share utility

Hello world,
Do you email yourself notes, to-do items and links to web pages so you'll remember to deal with them later?
The thing is that each time you have to open your email app, compose a new message, fill in your email address and only then start the message.
So I created MeMail - set up your email address once and you're done.
Launch MeMail and type away.
Found an interesting link? In your browser go: Menu->Share->MeMail and it's there.
Give it a try - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=il.co.spaces.memail
Works with all the email clients, no permissions needed, free.
I would appreciate comments so I could improve further.
Thanks.

AW: [APP][Free] MeMail - quick email and share utility
I thought about writing an app like this. I like to email myself the location where I parked my car. The email is also sent to my girlfriend, so she'll know too. Does your app support multiple recipients and predefined email subject?

The next version (which I'm working on) will have a predefined subject.
I'll also add the option for including current location, why not?
Thanks for commenting.

Great idea. Email myself so many things xD

I think including location is not important, it will make the app too complex perhaps.
It's great that you will support predefined email subject. :good: I use it to apply Gmail filter and label.
Maybe it would be a good idea to have profiles in your app, e.g.
Profile 1
Name: Default
Recipients: me
Subject: MeMail Reminder
Profile 2
Name: Dude, where's my car?
Recipients: me, girlfriend
Subject: Car Location

Is it possible to store message as draft?

Sure, since all the email handling is done by your email client - If you don't send your message it will be saved as draft.

Using profiles is a good idea, but I was thinking more of creating different desktop shortcuts that launch different settings... Profiles could be used when using the sharing feature from within the browser.
Thanks

I'm not sure I understand what this is used for. Say, I have two different desktop shortcuts. What will they do? Could you give an example, please?

Working fine for me.

I would add shortcuts to drafts, so you could easily access stored notes.

I understand. Will you also implement profiles? So that when something is shared to MeMail, the user is prompted which profile should be used and MeMail then creates the email accordingly.
Btw, I tested multiple recipients. It works fine by simply separating the email addresses through a semicolon.

very cool idea, i email myself thing all the time.

Thanks for Sharing

Bad idea, of course profiles seems to be interesting, but don't ask user each time which one to use, add default profile and option in menu to choose default profile.

I agree. This should be an option.

Good idea! Declaring a default account which will be used for sharing within the browser (I actually thought of using a pop-up).

Regarding the shortcuts "system":
Let's say you have two shortcuts - one is called "parking" and the other "notes". When you launch "parking" it has the subject set to - "my car is at:" and the body of the message has your location. It will be sent to you and your girlfriend.
"notes" will have "notes" as the subject and only your email as the recipient.
This way you get the email started immediately (no need to choose a profile).
Launching the main app will let you manage the profiles and shortcuts.
