Maybe this goes in the Dream Q&A but since contacts is an app thought it goes here...
So my question is, is it possible to get the FB connection to none Hero Rom builds? Please some one tell me yes n how to... Only reason im on Hero n hate it bc still missing texts
Integration...Non.
And I'm sure if someone can make an app for that...and they have the need to...they will, but to have FB integration in the stock contacts apk is highly unlikely unless google does it themselves.

So is there actually a way to "get a google voice account?" I mean, it seems to me to be invite only.
I signed up months ago but still no invite!
its a long wait most will never get invited but it will roll out instead

This really isn't the best advice, since to '[g]et a google voice account' would require being on one of Google's magic invitation lists, and that's managed only by Google.
I have actually found the fix for the SMS issue so now able to use Hero Rom and never miss another text

I didn't make this program so I'm not gaining any money off anyone downloading and paying for it but its a program called SMStoGmail. ALL your SMS are sent to your gmail account. Those that come in and send out. The only issue i having it with are: No MMS =( Ok thats it... Also for set up make sure to go on computer and set filter so anything with "smstogmail.rly.gd" goes into your in box and never marked as Spam. Maybe once there is an update it'll do MMS but for now, you NEVER have to worry about another miss text again!!! So this way when ever you get a text it sends a copy to your email and you get a notice even if you don't get the text to your phone!!!
Uh, try Facebook Sync on the market. It syncs all your contact photos with your friends on Facebook, I used this to make myself feel better because I wasn't using a Hero build.

haha nice... ya once i found that "fix" thats all im using now is Hero. Thank You though
this is more of opinion survey versus anything else.
i am looking for a text message widget and email widget.
specifically something for viewing text messages and e-mail from the desktop with the ability to delete, forward and reply at my discretion. as always i am looking for usability and functionality
i have been in the market and tried multiple apps, chomp, ohmymms, and many others- after some looking today i see there are many more. hopefully some of you have found something that you prefer over something else.
i would like to read about it.
thanks in advance
i used to use, fancy widgets messaging widget.
its set up like the HTC Sense widget but smaller i dont know if it has all the functionality your looking for though
Is there an app that you can send and recieve MMS through? I am using Boost on my sprint HTC touch and can't recieve MMS on it because it just sends a link that is broken. If there is an app that can intercept those messages and send the full picture message to my phone, that would be amazing!

as you guys are on sprint/boost there is a patch someplace you can install to assist with picture messaging. google it and you ought to find something.
personally, i have been an owner for over a year and tried everything but to no avail. best thing i have found for images is e-mail.
hope it helps
There are cabs you can install, but those are for WinMo from my understanding.

The thing is, no one has found a solution out yet, and as we don't have a fully functioning camera just yet, I don't mind waiting til we do.
DesktopSMS forwards all your incoming SMS on your *Android Phone* to your Gmail to GTalk.
You can then reply to the chat request or email, and the response will be sent back from your phone as a text message. This is very similar to Google Voice, except you won't need a new number or anything annoying like that!
http://app.net/desktopsms
Installation:
1) Install DesktopSMS on your ANDROID PHONE. (Not onto your XOOM)
2) Login to Desktop SMS on your ANDROID ****PHONE****.
3) Install a Chat client like Google Talk (which may already be on your XOOM) onto your XOOM or desktop PC.
4) Receive a text. Watch as your text gets converted to an email and google chat message
5) Respond!
So, once again, this app is only installed on your phone. Then just install your favorite IM client on your desktop and tablet, and the rest will work magically!
You do not need to install this on both your phone and tablet like other apps. You do not need to be on the same network like other apps. This all works by magic (my servers).
Let me know what you think. This is in a free beta right now, so be prepared for some bugs! I'd love to hear your feedback.
Wrote you a PM
well, I don't have a smart phone so thats a problem.
I, like many others, have ditched their smartphomes and activated their xooms. I now only have a dummy phone. I didn't see a need in paying for two data plans because I ws rarey using my phone. Now I use it to talk and text.... even though I wish it was only to talk.
I am waiting for the day that I can SMS on my Xoom using my current phone number. Guess I'll jabe to keep waiting. lol
Works awesome...just had a conversation with myself, through gtalk. Hahaha havnt tried it with my xoom yet. But im pretty sure it will work just fine. Very good job
It looks great but I cannot seem to get it to work yet, Mr. Koush. I have it signed it with push notifications successfully on my gmail account on my OG Droid. I can do the test message from within the app and it pops up on my phone like always, but other than that it does nothing on my Xoom, or on anything else for that matter. It seems almost like the push notifications are not even being sent out.
EDIT: I found out what the problem was. I had the default messaging app totally disabled, as I am using Handcent SMS as a complete replacement to the default one. I would like to use Handcent SMS instead of the default one. I know its beta and I cannot wait for updates!

It looks like after you receive your first text from that person after you accepted the "chat invite" on your Gtalk account it syncs up with your current contact list automatically. It shows the phone number on the left side of the screen under your gmail account, but in the chat window it shows that contacts name in parenthesis.
This ofcourse is for if you are using the Xoom with Gtalk, such as myself. I haven't tried anything else yet.
Could it be that the contacts NAME will be in the gtalk LIST instead of phonenumber ?
OK, being a bit thick here.
I'm using GoSMS Pro, but as far as I know, the default messaging app is still active, just without any notifications... does this make a difference?
Not currently receiving any notifications in email or g-talk... :/

Are u signed in in the app? The first time the app froze, i had to go back into it and sign in.
Just tested it with my xoom and it works great.
Looking for a little help, I have the app installed on my HTC desire HD, and it will forward the text to my gmail and talk, but when I reply nothing happens. Am i missing something, I've triedreplying through talk and gmail, and nothing from both.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Peace

*edit* update took care of it, never mind.
@Koush
I am having an issue getting the app to try it out. When I tell the system to send me a link, it does, but it sends me a link for the link request page again. It does not send me a link to the actual app.
EDIT: Nevermind. I figured it out. Shouldn't browse until I had my coffee.

Is it possible that your push servers are blocked in China?
I can correctly Login with Google Account, but get an error on 'registering with push server....' (takes long and eventually times out)
Error message: "Login failed. Please check your password. If the error persists, please send a log to the developer"
here is a log... maybe it helps analyze why i can't connect with the push servers...
Ok, it's just updated, and when I go to send a test SMS, it brings up
The application GoSMS was found installed. If you do not recieve a text message, please verify that it has not disabled SMS notifications in the application's settings.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So that's cool, then I send the test. GoSMS then pops up the text, as it always does.
However, it still doesn't appear to be sending me an email.
When it says "please verify that it has not disabled SMS notifications in the application's settings", does it mean the default Messaging app?
I've tested by disabling the taskbar notification for GoSMS and re-enabling it for the default Messaging app, but even then, there is no sound nor visual cue that an SMS has arrived... is this why it's not working? Has GoSMS broken my default messaging app?

I hate the gingerbread sms app. It is really lame on my opinion, i want a new app for sms. I tried Go sms but won't show my contacts only the ones saved on my google account but not the facebook ones, chomp sms does too and i hate that they have no themes! The only one that works okay is handcent sms but it is really slow!! it takes about 30 sec for the app to open! anyone knows a nice app for sms?
Check your settings on Go, works fine for almost everyone else.

really? i just have a problem with my contacts, it'll only show the ones from my google account! it won't show my facebook contacts? it'll only show their numbers but no picture or name??
U can also get "go contacts" since u have go SMS..
They work well together
V's CDMA Hero
Mine syncs fine. I go to accounts and sync in the settings, ensure that Facebook is set to sync existing contacts, and my system is exactly how you describe you want yours. I do not use Go Contacts.

I'm using youlu address book. It's a dialer, sms, contact, etc all in one app. It's clean, simple, and way faster than Go or Handcent IMO.
I had youlu address book on my Droid Charge and it was the best thing since sliced bread.

Help please.. I was told that my phone has been sending sms messages to my friends on my contacts list. Without me knowing it, of course. What causes this? Any help would be appreciated.
You have obviously installed some app that has permissions to do this. Go though the most recent installs, and uninstall any that have the rights to send messages and see contact information.
Look at the sms's sent and see if there is any clue there, too.
ok thanks for the quick reply.. But how about some apps, that came already installed on the phone, I cant remove them.. Also some social apps, like the facebook and yahoo messenger.. They have this permissions, is there any way to unable the said permission? thanks!
Preinstalled apps won't do this.. Neither will facebook or Yahoo Messenger.
ok.. because those pre-installed one's also has reminders like those. So its safe for mo to re-install fb and ym?
its safe to install fb yahoo .
What are the contents of these SMS? Is it like a butt dial SMS or are your friends getting strange advertisements and links?
Sounds like malware.
uhm, they were receiving txt messages that I have already previously sent them. I mean older ones..
anyone? who has the same problem?

Yes, I had this. For some reason the texts were marked as unsent, probably because I have bad cell coverage at home. On a reboot they were all resent, regardless of if they had been sent.
I started using GO SMS and I have not had the problem. I also updated my kernel, but I cannot imagine that was the issue.
I also rooted the phone and killed off the bloatware. Perhaps it was the social hub, which I have now disabled.
could it be the "sms popup" that i installed? I installed it for me to be able to reply much easier to person texting em. Its like a pop up where you can already see the message and reply at once..
I looked at the GO SMS, I saw that it also has a reminder that it allows the phone to send text messages on its own.
Whats the best messga widget do you guys use? Thanks!

Not impossible. I think I did use that to, but the GO SMS has a popup of its own which seems better.
There is also a GO SMS widget that works quite well, I find. I prefer the popup and an unread message count shortcut.
