A little bit expensive (2.49 euros), but it seems great. I missed a good Gtalk client on WP7.
I am having problem with getting toast notifications. Has any one gotten toast notifications of IMs when the app is closed? I have the app pinned to the start screen and notifications turned on. I really would like a working google chat client for my Windows Phone
I have been experiencing notification issue too.
I hope this will be fixed asap, meanwhile I switch again to OctroTalk.
Today push notification/offline status issue seems that have been fixed.
i just like it...
Tired of putting down your Android tablet to check a new SMS on your phone? Me too. Cloud SMS is run on both your phone and tablet to allow you to send and receive SMS messaging from your tablet.
Built for speed and privacy, Cloud SMS works over the Internet, does not require bluetooth, does not share (or transmit) your contacts, and even hashes your account email for added security. Typical messages take about 100ms to transmit.
Cloud SMS is available now in the Google Play Store for only 99 cents!

Added New Permission - Read Phone State - Used to detect incoming phone calls
I am a very active developer and continue to address issues and implement features. Below is a full list of permissions, and what they are used for, along with a note for people using GoSMS and other third party SMS apps.
Required Permissions
Internet - (Needed to connect to the Internet!)
Send SMS / Receive SMS (These are used on the phone side to send/receive messages)
Get Account (This is used to read your gmail address assigned to your device. I never actually send this email, simply make a secure hash of the account to match against the Google Cloud Messaging IDs for your tablet/phone)
Wake Lock (This is required for Google Cloud Messaging)
Receive SMS (This is required to capture SMS messages to send to your tablet)
Vibrate (If your tablet supports it, I can vibrate/light LED, make sound just as your phone does on SMS - This will become a setting)
Read Contacts (This is used on the tablet to show the contact photo / name rather than just the phone number of the recipient/sender. This data is never stored anywhere).
Write SMS (This is used on the phone to add your messages to the stock SMS database to keep conversations properly synced)
Receive Boot Completed (This is used to automatically start on boot if enabled in Settings)
Access Network State (This is used to determine if you've switched to mobile or wifi to ensure you are re-synced)
Access WiFi State (This is used to determine if you've switched to mobile or wifi to ensure you are re-synced)
Read Phone Status (This is used to detect incoming phone calls to tell you that your phone is ringing if Phone Call Notification is enabled)
Read Call Log (This is used to read caller information so that the caller ID and photo can be shown in Phone Call Notification)
Using Go SMS? Do this:
In Go SMS, Under 'Menu -> Settings -> Advanced -> Receive Settings' - Uncheck the box that says 'Disable other message notification'
If still not receiving forwarding messages, reboot.
Using a MIUI Rom? Do this:
In the MIUI messaging app go to "settings" and make sure "System MMS app priority" is unchecked.
Any comments, questions, or feedback?

Is this great, new app specific to the Nexus 7? I works fine on my N7 with an AOSP custom rom. Might it work on Galaxy Tab 2?

Will work with any 2.2+ tablet and phone. Just noticed the OP said Nexus 7 and changed it.
Seems like when my phone disconnects from Wi-Fi, I have to restart app in order to get messages on my tablet.

I'll give that a look. I may need to detect wifi state changes and request an updated google id. Thanks for the report.
To follow up, if both devices disconnect and reconnect they sync beck up.

I'm preparing 1.0.2 to address this reported issue. I had to add two permissions, one to get wifi state, and the other for mobile network state.
Now when a network change is detected, the update service will kick off to re-register your device.
Works well on my Nexus 7, Thanks.
Before I go to bed, two new additions for tomorrow:
Sent message status indicator - Yellow = Sent to phone, Green = Received and processed by phone
Automatically update cloud ids on network change
Time for sleep.
Works nice! :laugh:
Could you eliminate the blue background for the navbar icon, so it's just the white cloud? It doesn't jive with my theme lol. Other wise, great app, great development!

Would it make sense to use a different icon set for each theme? Which Cloud SMS theme are you using with your device?

I'm currently just working out a way to support MMS and keep with my security design parameters. For MMS to work, I would have to upload the MMS content to my server, and download it on the Tablet side. Likely I'll just assign some random 64 bit name to any uploaded files, and once the tablet has received the file, delete it from the server. 64 Bits of random naming should be enough entropy over the alphabet and numbers to make any attempts to grab a file en route pretty impossible.
This feature will come once I'm sure it follows my design guidelines (and lots of testing)!
Loving this app but the only issue Ive had is that disabling the notification while running does not seem to be working.

The persistent notification feature is working as I intended, but it doesn't seem to be what people wanted. This feature when disabled allows you to dismiss notifications, but they do show up on all events.
I'm testing a change (and rename) for that feature called Always Show Notifications. This will do as you expect, allowing notifications to briefly show on new message, and automatically dismiss themselves (5 second delay) if you leave the setting unchecked. Should this delay be longer?
I'll be testing this through the day before I make an update available to ensure Android doesn't try to close the app down without notifications running.

Icon set would be great. I'm using the dark theme. My navbar is black, and the blue icon stands way out.
