Sms/whatsapp - Galaxy Camera Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I understood from several threads that it is possible to text someone with our camera with sms. How does that work? Don't you need a phone number for that? And whatsapp, is it possible to use that?

Yes, you need a phone number or a SIM card that can used for sms.
For whatsapp, they show incompatible for our camera, BUT, you can install the apk. www.whatsapp.com/android/ Make sure you have your Unknown Resources enabled. And of course, you need a working internet plan.

Thx for your reply.
I installed whatsapp via your link. It does ask for a phone number. What can I enter? I entered my SGS3 phonenumber, but whatsapp apparently only lets you use one device with that phonenumber. Is there a workaround maybe?
W

You need another number for that

Voice works w/ wifi 3.1 update!!!!

Hey guys I don't know if this is already posted but I'm just letting everyone that doesn't know that it works like it's suppose to

It does work perfectly but it's odd that it's filtered out of the Market. You still have to side load it.

can someone post a 3.1 friendly apk here for us then ?
danka
where are you downloading the apk from??
I just downloaded it to my phone and grabbed it for my xoom.

so your saying google voice installs as long as we sideload it?
This doesn't surprise me, since the issue with Google Voice was the same issue as the Facebook Widget and that works too.
It seems Google relaxed the API a bit with regards to null intents
I just back it up to my drop box.. here's the link if you want to download it

so i thought i would be able to get msg's on my tablet and my phone but when i setup my sprint number with gvoice i stop getting msg's on my phone and only get them on gvoice on the tablet
you can also get apps directly on your xoom by downloading from amazon app store. there's a ton of apps that work fine but missing from the market. and you don't have to go through putting the app on your phone then moving to your xoom, and you will get updates.
Yeah, found this out last week. Unfortunately, push notifications are STILL not enabled (you still have to select a polling interval).

I figured 15mins was the best compromise.
One thing I did was change my Voice Notification E-mail from my default account to my GMail account, which means I at least get instantaneous notifications, but even still that's a hack.
FFS Google- you can't make this whole?!
Confirmed. It works perfectly. Thanks for the heads up.

Umm' stupid question I'm sure but here goes...
If I install the voice from your dropbox does it replace the Google voice on the xoom? As in no more video calls, or does this just add capability to use the calling features? I'm so confused..

Don't know if installing two of the same app will allow you to use it as a separate app but...
... you can just decompile the file and change the name of the app, that should do it.

You should change the package name in every file. Just the name won't help.
Also, whatsapp is based on your phone communicating with their servers. So multiple apps wont help.

Use Titanium Backup. It can set up multiple profiles for a single app. Meaning the same app can have like 2 or more data files.
Search titanium backup help page to learn how to set it up.
I use this with my browsers to hide the "sensitive" stuff.

Yes, there is a way by which you can run multiple WhatsApp accounts on your android phone with two numbers. This involves you to install an app called SwitchMe Multiple Accounts from the Google Play. The only necessity is that your phone has to be rooted. Once you have installed this app, open it and create two different user profiles for your two WhatsApp account. Each user profile will have its own setting, apps and data. The first user profile will acts at the administrator account and it will have all the apps and data you are having now. If you already have a WhatsApp account in your phone, then it will be on this profile. The second user profile will contain the new WhatsApp account. You can set it up as follows: Switch to this account—> Set up your phone for this account—> Open Play Store—> Install WhatsApp. This way you can register the new WhatsApp account to your new second number. Hope I Helped

If you're rooted and only need double account for whatsapp, you could try this app called '2lines for Whatsapp'..
Sorry, i'm not allowed to post a link yet, but you'll find it on the play store.
The same developer has apps for Clash of Clans and Facebook too, if you are interested.
Hope that helps.

Texting from your Nexus 7?

Is it possible using my regular cell phone number (not google voice)?
I have a windows 8 phone as my phone if that makes a difference. Thanks.

uf, theres a 100 threads about this.
Search for whatsapp, tablet talk, viber threads, theres ongoing discussions going on. However, I think you require an android phone to make them work, but I'm not sure.
Which I why I made this thread...I don't have an android phone.

My main phone is a windows phone. We need to install that app on both the tablet and phone to get it to work. Windows phone doesn't have that app.

You can use Desk sms.. its by clockworkmod. I think it will do what your asking.. Google voice will as well. Setup google voice on your desktop computer.. Have your test forworded to your google voice number. Then on your tablet you can send and receive text with google voice.. .Other sms apps will also pick up google voice text...

from what i've read, the possibilities are currently limited. you can receive MMS thru Google Voice if the sender is on Sprint. (it will be viewable in your email). they are working on getting more carriers on-board, maybe someone knows of any other options...?
question about cloud sms, does it work even if your phone is off? my phone's charger usb port is broken and its a pain trying to get it to charge. im still paying of my phone plan.

[Q] Ongoing Notifications

Hello XDA!
Few days ago my classmate signed in to Facebook app in my phone and what did I see ? Facebook ongoing notifications in my statusbar and it was really cool. But when I switched back to my account this option dissappeared so I told him to sign in again and it was back.
My question is why I can't access this option on my account I really like this
If someone know please help me
Maybe nobody like's your posts and nobody writes to you so there are no notifications to be shown...? ^^

there is option in App Settings to turn ONGOING NOTIFICATIONS and then it looks like this but when I login with my account there is no that option in Settings
do you understand now ?
I was juz jokin' and yes, i undertand now. Welll i've asked my uncle google about it and it seems like they are adding this feature and deleting it, i think what you saw were some kind of tests how will it work, maybe it will be added with new update.

I know bout this but it's 4 months old
How many times did you try to switch to your friend account? More than once? Iinteresting... maybe he was using earlier an older ver of fb app and he had this optio turned on and fb saved those settings and signed (nie wiem jak jest 'przypisac' po angielsku) to his account, maybe its a matter of the frequency of notifications, if he has many of them the app show those notifications
Sent from my GT-I8190 using xda app-developers app
he was using older but very old version without this feature (iPhone 3G iOS3 so no updates) and I get more notifications than him (about 40 per day + messages) so I don't understand it :/
To be honest i dont understand it either. I've installed fb and i dont have this option... you should try to let him log in again and see if this option is present in fb app's settings when he's logged in... i wonder if thats really a matter of who is logged in.. :/
Sent from my GT-I8190 using xda app-developers app
Yes the option is here when he log in but now I'm back on my account and option is gone -> Same phone, same app version, same settings just different account
Weird i assume it has to be something with the type of account, maybe one of you is logging on a fansite account and the second one on a normal... maybe its something like that
Sent from my GT-I8190 using xda app-developers app
Both accounts are the same types cause we don't have any fansite accounts only normal personal profiles

Watch doesn't directly connect to the cloud (or your cal in this case), it will report whatever the phone you pair it too is sync with, if you want to change it, you need to change it on your phone

If you have multiples calendar sync to one app (let's say google Cal) I don;t think there is way to select which Cal to display, now if you have multiples Cal App you can use the Android Wear Companion App to mute all other Cal notification and leave only the one you want to see
