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..

I think you are thinking of Google Talk. Google Talk and Google Voice are different apps

Anyone else getting INSANE battery use from Voice? It's almost up there with the display.

Are u guys saying that you are being able to place calls from your xoom with Google voice?

Yes I am. Might be the polling interval but I uninstalled it until there is a fix or an official release

[Q] What messaging app to use?

So it looks like I'm getting myself an N7 as my first Android device. I'm coming from using an iPad and it's built in messaging app to communicate with my wife and son via their iPods over wifi. What messaging app would you recommend we switch to once I have my N7 in hand?

Good question I'd like to know as well. Is there any way to send/recieve SMS texts from the wifi only N7?

Tablet talk? Use your N7 like your phone.

I use Google Voice for SMS messages and Google Talk for chat.

Google voice for sms/ add grove ip to that and get full phone functions .
Tablet talk if you want to relay text and calls to and from your tablet thru your phone..
there is also tab text .. sync sms. and a few others out there..
IF your phone does not support tethering to do the above using your phone. You can try pda.net app from tablet.. I think it still works for most handset/tablet variations..

Agreed.
And more people should be using it.
A lot of people have an android phone and don't even know you can video or voice call using Gtalk.
Spread the word!

Pinger? U can text and call, but u need to buy minutes if u run out, or install free apps to get minutes.

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...

Is there any apps To send MMS picture messages or receive

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.

Allo is out

It's out and working.

It's Google's new messaging app.

Uninstalled already. Not for me...

It's cool. Has a few hidden features and built in Google assistant is dope.

So we have allo, duo, messaging, hangouts, voice, Google+... What in good God's name is going on? Tried allo and duo, saw nothing worth wasting my time on. Uninstalled. Can't they make 1 app that does everything properly and in fact pulls in WhatsApp, viber and Skype into it to have one do it all app instead of this confusing mess?

The best feature I think it has is the incognito messaging. It has end to end encryption and pretty much self destructs at a interval you choose.

problem is, that your contacts, and possibly your messages arent getting destroyed at any interval at this point. and they are being stored on Google servers so, thats why alot of folks have no interest is using this snooping infested app..

Google Allo is here!

For anyone that hasn't already heard, Google just released Allo. As of this post it is not on Google play yet, but I bring a link to the apk from India, who already have it.

Fair warning: there is no [worthy] SMS integration (yet?), However, the Google assistant is pretty fun to talk to. Someone at Google is gonna get a good laugh when they read my suggestion.

hahahah awesome bro!

Another Google flop.

Why is it so....lacking?! Even reply from the notification is limited to the quick replies from allo. Google made replies from notification along with this app and Nougat, but didnt implement it correctly? This is a stripped down hangouts. Can't even use it for SMS. it just doesnt make any sense.....uninstalled in 15 minutes. Will reconsider if some minor, yet crucial tweaks are made.

With no sms integration. This isnt going to last very long. The fact that you can't have it like hangouts where it's both an sms and instant messaging is going to kill it. I hate. No loathe the fact that now I have to have yet another app for instant messaging and a separate app for sms

Another useless google attempt. I don't use any google product if there is a good alternative. This company has so much user info it's scary.

Absolutely pointless! Uninstalled

If they add a web interface, it will replace Hangouts/SMS with those close to me very quickly because of the SMS fallback. But without a way to use it on other devices, I have no use for it.

This app is completely pointless. I don't care how pretty it is.

Whenever I sit and try my best to like an app, its usually gone for me in a day. The assistant is interesting, so maybe thats worth working with, but I will stick to my messaging app. I use pushbullet on my laptop so I can send/receive sms, still works well.

I really want to like it but if it can't be set as default SMS, doesn't auto backup my SMS, has no desktop client, doesn't import all my current messaging history I can't see myself using it. From the gripes I'm seeing around comment sections I know many feel the same.

I enjoy it for what it's worth, an IM client. Most of my friends and family are using it now so getting the most of it. Admittedly though, if your circle isn't into it becomes useless. The sms integration (?) is bizarre to say the least

It can't even pass the butter...

I was ery excited about this because i thought it was gonna be on par with imessage (before iOS10) But i was extremely disappointed to see the horrible SMS integration. Sure i can probably convince 2-3 of my friends to use it But i dont want to have to remember who has it and who does not.
Correct me if im wrong but i believe that during the demo at Google IO that they said for peope who do not have it it would post your google assistant stuff via MMS so that the people who your SMSing would see it.
I like it but with iMessage iOS10 update and the lack of SMS its really dumb.

Hello folks,
has anyone issu with loading a profile-pic in allo? i can only make a picture but not load a saved one? have the un- and reinstalled with reboot - the same
thanks for help

Has anyone figured out how to get a new/unread badge for new messages on allo?
