[Q] SMS to Desktop? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a application that I can type my SMS messages on my pc and then have them sent through my phone?
It would be nice if the messages I sent from my pc were saved in my messages application.
If anyone could recommend me an application that can do this and is also compatible with the Samsung Galaxy S that would be wicked
Thanks

[APP] SMS to Email with SMS Backup+

I did not develop this app and offer no support for it but thought I would share. Basically what this is doing is sending any SMS/MMS messages you receive to your tablet via GMail.
APP IS INSTALLED ON YOUR PHONE.
To get the SMS/MMS messages to "Push" to your tablet:
Go into Advanced Settings > Backup Settings and change the "GMail label to assign SMS" to Inbox.
Goto Auto Backup Settings > Incoming Schedule and make sure it is set to 1 min.
Drawback:
Unable to reply to most SMS messages.
Once the message is received on the phone it takes 1-2 minutes to get the message onto the tablet via GMail.

Um...dunno how to tell you this, but the Xoom can't send or receive sms. At all.

Edit: Nevermind...heh.
The application is installed on your phone. The Xoom receives the SMS via email. I am fully aware that the tablet currently does not receive text messages. This is just a clever way around that.

[Q] Share Contact by SMS on ICS

Hi all,
When you go to share a contact card via the contacts app or by clicking attach in the SMS app. It appears ICS is missing this function.
I have seen a couple of posts on this but none mention a native solution.
So my question is: Is there a native way to add SMS to the stock ICS 'share list' for sending contacts, or is this something to do with either contacts or SMS not exposing their 'intent' correctly?
Thanks in advance.
Logicalstep
Tap and hold on the number, it will give you the option to copy it ;-)
Thanks NoXiScz,
I'm aware of how Copy and Paste works in ICS
I'm looking for a native solution.
I have found an app that puts sharing by SMS into the contacts, but it doesn't seem to work the same way as the native did on Gingerbread.
Logicalstep
On ICS I used a phone dealer who have this function, for example rocket phone dealer.

On gb we had the option and now ics lacks it? What kind of evolution is this???

[Q] Facebook Messenger SMS integration

What is facebook messenger sms integration? Read that it is currently supported on Samsung Galaxy Ace.. although not sure about s5830i.
When i type any number then, press send msg., i get the option to use messenger. Although when I press it, it just opens the messenger.
How does this work?
It's as you've described it. Text messaging can be integrated with your messenger app on your mobile device, and shouldn't store any of your texts externally
An aesthetic thing essentially.

Galaxy Gear - Disa.im Messaging App - Notifications with reply function

Disa and the Galaxy Gear
So I have a Galaxy Gear and Note 3. If any of you out there own a Galaxy Gear you will know that you can only use the stock messaging app if you want the ability to reply to text messages directly from the watch, without rooting and using a custom rom. But now there is a new alternative to the hideous stock messaging app and that is Disa.im. Disa.im is a new messaging app that is currently in open beta phase.
Disa is based off the Hangouts design principles and is a very good looking messaging app. Disa is also absolutely unique in the fact that it allows for integration of messaging and WhatsApp messages within the one app. They are currently working on including other messengers as well including but potentially not limited to Facebook Messenger and Hangouts.
How does it work?
1. What gives Disa.im the ability to allow for stock messaging notifications to be sent to the Gear is the option within the app to allow for SMS Fall Through. What this means is that all new received SMS will fall through to the stock app, triggering the stock notification hence sending that notification to the Gear. You can then reply to the messages from the Gear and the new message will be created and sent through the stock messaging app.
2. Normally this would create an issue in the fact that the new SMS sent from the Gear through through the stock messaging app would not show within the new messaging app, Disa, which is the case with a number of other after market messaging apps. But the good news is, Disa has another option which allows for Syncing of SMS/MMS with the Android message database. This allows for the apps to work in ‘Hybrid Mode’, so any messages sent from stock app will be in Disa and vice versa.
3. Having messages received by Disa, and falling through to the stock app, this would generate 2 notifications on the actual handset. If you turn off notifications within the stock messaging app, they won’t get generated and sent to the Gear, making this solution not really a solution at all. But… within Settings>General>Application Manager there is the option to turn off notifications for individual application. This seems to actually only turn off the visibility of the notification not the generation of the notification itself. So if we deactivate that for the stock messaging app, it still gets generated by the system and sent to the Gear, so when you get a text message, you only see the Disa notification on the phone and the stock messaging notification on the Gear.
4. Within Gear Manager you will only have to have notifications for stock Messaging app turned on. If you have Disa notifications turned on also you will get 2 notifications of a message on the Gear
IMPORTANT: Please be aware that Disa was not designed this way specifically for the Galaxy Gear, this is just something I noticed and worked through to come up with this particular solution. Please do not ask the Disa developers for support with issues with notifications on your Galaxy Gear.
Limitations:
The above will work perfectly if you choose to just use Disa.im as a SMS replacement app. If you choose to use Disa.im to have What’sapp messages as well then a choice needs to be made. The options are as follows:
1. Don’t turn on Disa.im notifications within Gear Manager. This will continue to work as mentioned above, but you wont get any notifications for What’sapp messages received through Disa.im
2. Turn on Disa.im notifications within Gear Manager. This will allow you to get Disa.im What’sapp notifications on the Gear but will cause you to also get Disa.im SMS notifications as well as stock messaging notifications. So every SMS you receive will have 2 notifications on the Gear. A good thing is though, the stock messaging notification will show on the Gear before the Disa.im one, so the only time you know that Disa.im one is there is when you go to Notifications area. So in practice, its not too bad.
To get it working you need the following:
Samsung Device running 4.3 Touchwiz
Galaxy Gear
Galaxy Gear Manager 1.6
Disa.im - Disa is currently in Beta and can be downloaded through their Google+ Community https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/114009566886187417546

Nice, will have to check it out
post screenshots please.
I followed your instructions and I get the notification sent to my gear. But how do I reply. I don't see anywhere to type a reply. Thought that was the whole idea of installing this.
Hi,
What do you need screen shots of? Disa? Or the whole process.
In relation to the notification on the gear, is it a notification from Disa or from the messaging app, you should be able to tell from the icon. Also, are you talking about reply to a normal text message? If your talking about a whatsapp notification then you still won't be able to reply. The solution is only for replying to text messages.
If the notification if for text messages and is a normal message notification on the gear, there is a button in the top right inside the notification, click that and you will get the option to reply.

Replying on the galaxy gear is never typed unless you are rooted and have a keyboard installed. The reply can be done through s voice or through the preset replies.

i want to see how does the app look like on the gear.
tablet talk is really awfull.
What he is saying is that on the gear you will still be using stock app, but on the phone you will be using disa, since the stock messenger is crap but needed to send texts to the gear(stock)

Why is the stock messaging app "crap"??
I have used all the alternatives (Handcent, GoSMS etc.) & if you have the stock app themed etc. why isn't it just as good as anything else??
I actually use the stock app. Lmao but the OP doesn't. Crap is the first word I thought if lmao

Personally I have been using Verizon Messages. Can't reply on Gear but get the notifications and able to read as normal. Plus syncs between stock app as well as cross platform. It also syncs all messages between my iPad and phone seamlessly. Its VZW's version of iMessage I suppose.

Hi all, i want to try disa on my galaxy note 3 but when i install GM 1.6 (the manual say that i need install the latest version) i don`t know why i can`t enter in notification menu. When i press the button my GM freezes so i can´t select any app to send or not notification to my gear, i only can check or uncheck the button to enable o disable all notifications. Also i tried to reinstall GM 1.6, do a hard reset on my gear (i have null19 installed) nd nothing :S
Any ideas? Thanks
EDIT: the problem was the null addon hehehe
So, how do I reply to whatsapps and text messages trough the Gear? I have to install Disa.im on the Gear?

Reply to email on Galaxy Gear without tethering???

Hi
I'm sure if this has been covered or not but is there a way to view mails and reply to them using a keyboard on your galaxy gear without the use of bluetooth tethering?
I know there is a fantastic app that allows you to respond to sms messages via a client app and a server app installed on your phone but could something like this be incorporated into listening to your email and the ability to respond to them?
My apologies in advance if this has been answered already but this would make my GG complete.
