Hello everyone
I'm jumping from a Sony SW2 to Pebble (don't ask me why, i'm gonna cry :crying
I love the Pebble, but miss some feature from the SW2, example with SW2, when browsing the SMS, i can make a call to the sender, it's very useful for me (a Z Utra user), but i can't find similar app from Pebble, i can only reply with predefined template (PebbleApps)
Please help me! Many thanks in advance
(pebble 2.0.1 beta 11)
Take a look at glance. It allows you to view SMS, respond with presets, call people as well as customize the watch face.

Hi.
It seems WhatsApp is looking for C# programmers
Might hint on an upcoming release...
I really want it to come already, so all you C# programmers, go apply and write me WhatsApp (bug free please)
If they're looking for developers now this isn't going to get released for months.
Why not use kik?
Wish I could but all of my friends are using Whatsapp (Android/iOS)...
Without whatsapp I can't move to WP..
The same for most of my friends
Iosu
can u give me more details? how about copyrights and salary?

there is a kik messenger app for android and ios.. And thb kik messenger is alot faster then Whatsapp
Just to clarify:
worldwide WhatsApp Users: 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000....
worldwide kik (or however this unknown bloody software is called) Users: 10
Or in different words: nobody has kik! And all want WhatsApp (regardless how crap this software is) for the only reason: because all their friends (on Andorid or iPhone) ALREADY have it!
Thats the problem, so ROLL ON Whats App!

Yeah dude, you're right. WhatsApp is crap. Kik is way better since ever, and I'll not trade something better to worse just because the whole world use it.
I would have an Android, if so (;
if kik can just automatically add friends based on their phone numbers then it would be great.you wouldnt have to add individually each contact...still i agree its better then whatsapp
Oh god, why people are so lazy??
You just need to add ONCE. Your hands will not explode in pain if you use it to something beyond fap.

Not allowed in wp7 until mango.
I'm looking forward to this if it's ever see's the light of day - if need be then i can always roll back to Kik messenger
Having a BBM-style IM client will certainly help me transistion from BlackBerry a damn sight easier!!
whatsapp and kik and all the others are useless just use the built in FACEBOOK chat, or MSN messnger, 95% of people have a facebook or an msn app on their phone.
My girlfriend has an iphone4 and i've got an omnia 7. We use Kik messenger to send messages to each other because the iphone doesn't have push notifications for facebook chat or MSN messenger (i know it's a iphone problem...but it does prevent me from using it).
Although Kik works, the biggest downsides for me: it is not mango (multitasking)...yet, you have to set the kik tile to your home screen (it would make more sense to use the native messenger tile), no voice to text and text to voice like the native messenger in mango (it is awesome!).
Maybe i'm too fussy about these things
they should have integrated facebook messages into mango, as well and not just facebook chat.
in combination with the new facebook messenger app for ios and android it could be an alternative to whatsapp.
@gentrice Exactly! Now it's kinda weird you can chat (facebook, Win Live) via the messenger tile in wp7...while you can't send facebook messages. It would be totally awesome if WhatsApp, Kik etc. would also be able to integrate directly in the OS. I can imagine that companys like WhatsApp would like to receive some earnings from this. I would have no problem in paying a yearly fee to be able to have WhatsApp integrated in the OS (it would be the same as paying for the app on a year tot year basis).
I guess I just keep dreaming a little further . Hopefully facebook messages will get integrated in WP7. Everyone I know uses facebook. With a cross platform messaging app...it could be huge.

Yea maybe if your friends are all on WP7 its ok because its integrated and running all the time (unless you go and turn it off). But I dont believe its integrated into iPhone, Android or Blackberry..
works just fine with the Butterfly S
there arent a lot of apps yet and there are quite a few that are paid (which i'm fine with, as long as the price is right)
i get all the notifications i want on my watch, Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp, calls, sms, i can even set who i want to get notifications from, so the watch doesnt get flooded
there also is a call handling app that can replace the stock one, adds functionality like reject call and send an sms. i've mailed the developer and asked if he can add reject call with whatsapp message, he's going to look into it
feel free to ask questions, will answer as quick and thorough as i can

can it tell the time?
Hi I have a couple of questions.
1. whats it like in direct sunlight, I remember the first one being horrible ....
2. When you get a notification does it pop up on the screen or do you just get like a badge notification. What I mean is say, for example, you got an sms, does the sms message pop up straight away so you can read it there and then, or do you just get a badge on the sms icon with a (1) notifying you that you have a new sms.
If you could let me know that'd be great
Cheers
1 - the screen has 3 states:
- standby, shows the time, without using backlight, readable inside, in direct sunlight it gets even more readable. unreadable in the dark.
- backlight on, shows the time with backlight, good for low light conditions or when its fully dark, easy to read in sunlight as well
- menu/apps/messages with backlight, same as the second one
so yes, its no problem using it in direct sunlight, both with or without backlight
2 - messages are displayed as text, with a little icon so you know if its a sms, mail, twitter, facebook, etc
ofcourse for longer messages, it wont show all the text, but it will show a text or twitter message in full (so 144 characters is the max)
there are some things that could be improved ofcourse
-i would like to be able to set the timeout for the backlight
-same thing for how long messages are displayed
-the remote camera app doesnt work, or doesnt work with the Butterfly S
-more watch faces
i will contact Sony Support to ask them about those issues
Is there any way to reply to SMS messages using preset replies? Similar to the way apps like "Glance" for the Pebble watch does.
S VOICE is nice but when I'm in meetings or other public places I need a way to send quick short text answers.
This would be great. Maybe one day we will.

I am sure this topic has been raised before but I just cant find anything. Anyone that has had an iphone before may be aware of the VIP feature which is nicely intergrated with the mail app. If a contact is a VIP the email is presented as a popup on the lock and home screen. I have been looking high and low for something like this, either in a mail app that has exchange active sync capabilities or an secondary app, for example a great example of such an app is popup notifier (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nlucas.popupnotificationslite) but its filtering simply sucks. In other words its all or nothing you can not nominate contacts to see notifications from.
Does anyone know of such an app, free or otherwise its something that I live by.
for anyone looking for this enotify seems to do the job ok - does not work with active-sync (exchange) but has EWS and IMAP.

I use Touchdown for my corporate mail. Not quite what you're looking for feature wise but it does have one neat trick up it's sleeve I find useful. You can create a client rule (based on subject, sender etc) that speaks who it's from & optionally the subject line.
I regularly do on call so find it useful to get an audible alert if mails arrive into a specific folder or from a specific set of users.
Also if I connect my phone to my motorycle helmet via my Garmin and put it in Car Mode I also get audible alerts if I'm on the road.
Hello all,
I have been a devoted user of Handcent for more years than I can recall back - decades. However, they have not responded to my support requests, their Play Store page is gone, and their website links to the Play Store page that is gone.
Recently I was driven to seek advice on what the community is using after Google Play Protect flagged Handcent (Next SMS) as "fake," which I know not to be true, but support is a huge factor for me in what I use.
So, let's hear it, what are all of you using and what do you recommend / not recommend?
Thanks for consideration!
I'd recommend Signal. It combines SMS and WhatsApp functionality into one app. That is just my personal choice, but there are a lot of other apps out there
I remember ditching Handcent for Textra almost a decade ago. If you like the features, check out SMS Messenger (orange icon) and QKSMS. Otherwise, +1 for Signal.
google messages, especially if you also want to have a window on your computer open to send messages
I'm trying to move all my conversations to google messages just because of the RCS feature. As the other member mentioned, you can also continue conversations on the computer
Another vote for Signal here, love it. They also have a desktop app but of course the desktop app will not include SMS/non-Signal inbound/outbound text. If you would like to have full control of text threads on the computer, you can look into the Windows 10 "phone link" feature.
Eternally grateful we're on a platform where we can actually remove the native text app and use whatever we want.
