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?

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:

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.

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...
Description
WARNING: MMS doesn't work currently, sorry! I don't really have time to fix it at the moment, but it works in the previous version available here: http://concentriclivers.com/android/Messaging-4.0.3-8.apk
This is the stock messaging (SMS & MMS) app from Android 4.1 Jellybean! The biggest improvements Google made in Jellybean are a new widget, photos in the notifications and a better recipient interface.
Remember to disable your existing SMS app's notifications or you will get two notifications for each message.
Please test the app to make sure it can send and receive messages correctly before relying on it! Test it a lot! Also if you are upgrading from the ICS version, PLEASE read the recent changes.
If you appreciate this and my other totally free stock apps, consider sending me some money (via paypal)! I'm poor and hungry and it takes a long time to do this!
KNOWN BUGS
* Some incomplete phone numbers in the ComposeMessageActivity are deleted when you go to enter the message. I found the cause of this but there is not much I can do.
* Contact photos may not sync properly. According to one user this is expected behaviour and it is basically Facebook's fault.
* Widget is flickery when it loads. I looked into it. Can't find problem; may be Samsung's bug since it doesn't happen in emulator.
* Widget "Show more conversations" button goes to the compose message activity instead of the message list. This is very weird.
* SMS notifications might be unreliable for you. Test it a lot!
* MMS doesn't work at all right now.

Screenhots:
great app, i been using it for a while. didnt know you were on xda as well.
I just wanted to let everyone know that a completely redesigned version 7 had been released. It's using material design, and has a few extra features, so please check it out.
Note 4 rooted, with newest update as well, running Nova. Using the default SMS Messaging app
4 issues I have been having.
1.) When I get SMS, the notifications in the dropdown won't go away.. even when I am in that person's SMS chat.. I have to swipe it away. This happens randomly.
2.) When I am chatting with someone on SMS and in the dialog screen, the phone does not vibrate or have a sound alert that lets me know they replied. I have put down the phone a few times not realizing that a reply had been sent, but my eyes were not on the screen to be alerted to it. If the screen is off or in another app, then I get sound and vibrate alerts.
3.) When I get a few new SMS backlogged, instead of showing me the names of my contacts texting me, it shows me their phone # and messages in the dropdown.
4.) This is random.. I got a call from my gf this afternoon, and before it pulled up my contact info for her (from my gmail contacts list), it pulled up her full name like a caller ID from back in the day.. Her full name is not in my gmail and her linked email is a hotmail address(but that doesnt have her full name either). Why did this happen and how can I have it for other people that arent contacts in my phone book?
The first 3 items are probably bugs in the Messaging app.. I think I remember #4 being offered by T-Mobile as a paid extra.. but I am definitely not paying for it.
I'm just having issues getting Gmail notifications to come through. Even when enabling notification through label settings.
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Free mobile app
#4 is probably the Tmobile NameID app. if i recall, there was a notification on my phone after the first bootup about a free trial or something. it displays caller ID for all numbers, supposedly, even for "unknowns" and such. since i disabled all the tmobile bloat ive not seen it come up. if you turn off the program in application manager it should stop working.
Ok I had this before on my nexus but cannot remember how I fixed it.
I get an sms and it shows in notification but when I open the sms there are no text in the message. It just disappears.
And it happens in Hangout and Messenger.
What's the main sms process ? Want to see if I force stop and clear data if it will fix the problem
Thanks Rudolph
Does anybody know why this happens? I have the same issue but am not sure how to fix it.
Would really appreciate the help
Same issue here. Nexus 6 on Android N.
I have Hangouts as the default messaging app.
When I receive a text message, a heads up notification pops up but when I open hangouts the message is gone.
I also tried to switch to the Google Messenger app. In this case I can receive texts but I cannot send them...
Textra seems to work fine but it's not my cup of tea...
Anyone knows how to fix this, please?
Now it's getting even weirder.
It looks like whatever SMS I delete in Hangouts or Messenger gets restored after I close and reopen the app...
It looks like that whatever I do in Messenger or Hangouts goes nowhere and does nothing.

This is why it is an alpha build and not really meant for day to day use.
Same issue here.
I searched old threads, and found there is a solution, just reboot to safety mode, and send a sms to yourself. Then reboot to normal...
However, it doesn't work for me.
I have just found what may have caused the issue (at least in my case) and it was entirely my fault.
I basically dirty flashed the N alpha on top of my previous 6.0.1 installation where I had made quite a few changes, instead of doing a clean installation.
That plus the fact that some SMS/MMS things have now changed in M (for example the telephony databases are no more stored in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony but are now under /data/user_de/0/com.android.providers.telephony ) may have messed up my system.
I've now done a clean installation and all seems to be fine with SMS in Hangouts for the time being.
Other small annoyances (mainly related to the cellular data connection) also seem to be gone now.
The SMS issue reappeared after some time (i.e. Incoming text messages are shown in notifications but they are not saved in Hangouts or Messenger).
After having done all sort of different tests, it looks like the issue may be related to a language setting.
The Android N alpha allows you to set two languages under Settings > Language & input > Language.
- With just one language enabled, all is fine.
- With 2 languages enabled, Hangouts and Messenger seem to work ok for some time, then the disappearing-SMS bug comes back. The only workaround I could find is to disable the second system language and reboot the phone.
