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.

You could always do it through AIM and other IM apps
+15125555555
+CountryCode, AreaCode, Phone Number
Google Voice is alright. I use it.
It has inbox sync so you will get notifications right away. The only problem is that there is no mms supported.
I'm trying out textPlus on the market (free BTW) to see if that is any better.
I live in an area where I have no service or cell towers. Is there any Apps out there that will help me SMS or MMS over my WIFI network?

I use the textPlus app. Tested and it works sending text messages from wifi to my friend's phone which is not a smarthone. My friend can send text messages back to me if I give him a 4 digit pin that textPlus provides to you.
Text over Google voice works just fine for me and uses data only.

if you purchased a nexus one, you get a free google voice account. however google voice is now free and open to the public anyway as of a few weeks ago. so just open the google voice app on your nexus, it comes with it out of the box, and go from there. you can also install the most recent google voice app from the market.
I went thru the setup and there was no where in the setup that asked me if I want to use or be assigned a Google number... so what am I doing wrong?

You need to go to the website to pick your number. Google.com/voice and login with your same account. There you can get your number.

anywho, go to your contacts, click on their pic you should see a slew of icons, one of which should be a google voice bubble (a bubble with a phone in it) click on it, and then pick which number you'd like to send a text to .. It may ask you which program you'd like to use, but i can't remember..
I can't speak for everyone else, but I had an update for GV in the market and after the update I went thru login process and SMS worked

Bummer. I don't see that icon on any of my contacts. Poop.
I'll try installing it again tonight. I'm going to flash Vegan B3... I think. Running TnT 2.2 now. Maybe it's an issue with that ROM.
Re-install for success
I was having no success with GV and then I went on the app market and install it from there and now I can send SMS messages from my Google Voice account. Running TnT-Lite 2.2.1
I posted this problem as well on the voice thread on general theme.
I installed .3 google voice. I got to the final set up screen where it wants to verify my phone number. When I hit next, it says "We have a problem, your phone number could not be verified. please try again"
When it asked for my user name and password, I put in the email address and pass word that is linked to google account that I set up google voice with (it is not a gmail account, but a yahoo email address) I can access it fine from google.com/voice by putting in those same credentials, but when i go through setup on the tablet and it comes to the part about verifying the phone number, I get the we have a problem screen
What can I do different?
Thanks

I originally tried the one from market and it FC each time I tried to run it. I removed it with the remove applications removal tool in settings and installed this otherone. It loads, opens and allows me to put in my email address and password associated with my only google voice account, but it stops on the phone number verification process.
Thanks for your help
EDIT: Just tried again to install from market. This time when it gets to verify phone number, instead of the error popping up, it gives me a FC... the same as when I tried it before.
Try signing up for google voice on a pc or via the web first. Use any phone number that you have access to immediately to verify the number then simply install google voice from the market. It should just work. Skip the part about cell phone voicemail if asked.
Still no luck on my end. I un-installed the update (in settings), then wiped and un-installed via Titanium Backup, then rebooted. After boot I downloaded and installed from the market. Went through the setup process. Rebooted again. Still no option to SMS when I click on a contact picture. Ideas?

I've been using textPlus. Works pretty good!
Can you get to the google voice inbox? If so, press menu and select compose. start typing the name and then pick the persons name and cell and send txt that way. If you can't get the inbox then you have some other problem.
Do you have the google voice configured with a mobile number? Maybe that is it.

I'm in the inbox. In menu, all I see is Refresh, Labels, Balance, Search, Settings, and Help.
Also, it is build number: 0.4.2.13, if that matters.
And additionally, I just flashed Vegan b3, if that matters.
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!

*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?
