Hey guys, I searched the forum and couldn't really find anything about this? Wondering if you guys know anything.
Is there an android app for aim that utilizes sms/texting instead of data? I know that the stock app uses texting, but that requires data to stay on and I don't have data.
I have a mytouch 3g (original, not the 1.2).
Help please
I am looking for this also. I have data and an unlimited sms plan. The IM programs that use data disconnect frequently and disconnect while on a phone call.
I am currently using AIM through SMS with the codes provided by AOL, although I would definitely rather have it in a nice tidy program.
Please let me know.
Thanks.
I've googled and googled and only kinda found something similar but it's only in source code (don't know how to compile) and doesn't appear finished...
Is there an app that will allow me to send SMS messages using my tablet, which sends over bluetooth to my phone, which then sends the SMS message out into SMS land?
Thanks!
Why to bother??? Use email to send SMS.
For instance if I need to send SMS to my phone using ANY computer (including G-tab), the way to do it is (Example for T-mobile): [email protected].
Where XXX-XXX-XXXX is your phone number.
I think it has to work with any provider, although @ part will differ from carrier to carrier.
Hope it helps.
I'm very familiar with that ability and you're right, that is one solution but not really one I'm looking for.
I'm really looking for an app for my tablet that is extremely similar to a standard sms app that will work off of my contacts list etc etc. Anyone else care to share their 2 cents?
(Assumes you're on a network and in USA)
Get a Google Voice Account and use the app to SMS.
Yep, another solution.
Anybody know of an app that does what I'm asking rather than just a workaround?

Yeah man, there are a bunch of solutions. I like the google voice idea.

Okay, right, so as I've specified I'm looking specifically for an app that specifically does sms via bluetooth via phone... this is not google voice and it's not email to sms...
Anybody have anything to add regard my specific question rather than something to do with a workaround?
Just want to put this out there.
With Google Voice you can send SMS txt to your contacts for FREE!
No need for BT because you would use your wi-fi tether option on your android phone in the event you're not in an area where you can connect to the internet with out tethering to your phone.
Still not what I'm asking for but I appreciate the suggestion for google voice. My problem with google voice basically centers around the phone number. I would have to port my existing cell number to gv and get a new cell phone number (also $20 for the port). I don't want to get a new phone number and I don't really want to commit to the extent that i'm porting my beloved phone number to google.
All I want is an app... extremely simple concept and my guess is that the programming isn't terribly difficult...
The response you are looking for is
NO!
The reason is no bluetooth DUN support in the gtab kernels. You always get a paired but not connected via bluetooth.
If you really want to use your phone you need to tether the gtab to the phone (plenty of options - search is the key), and then use handcent or similar.

Thanks for you help.
Heres a thread I started in the Xoom section.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=977688
Basically my idea, which I outlined in there is as follows:
I've been thinking about this alot over the past couple of days even to the point that I began to investigate and play around with the Android SDK to see what I might be able to do, which is not alot at the moment.
I thought of this app functioning as follows:
1) We currently have a bunch of applications that allow the user to view and respond to their text messages through an interface on the browser or computer application using an app on the phone that "broadcasts" the messaging features of the phone out over either WiFi or bluetooth. (For example, the ones mentioned earlier in this thread.)
2) We also have something called "Remote Notifier" that sends out a "ping" when a new message is received to a listening service on a computer which notifies the user on the desktop.
3) If the existing functionality of those two are combined, we have an application that can put together a list of the messages on the phone (primary location), send it out to a secondary location (in this case a tablet), while also notifying the secondary location (tablet) of a new message received.
The app on the phone also gives the secondary location the ability to respond and edit the message list on the phone.
4) The second piece of the equation we would need is an app for the tablet, preferably optimized for the screen size in a 5manner similar to the way Gmail and the native email client handle messaging, (with a list of messages on the left, and the conversation view on the right) that allows the user to browse their messages on the phone and reply within the app.
If the app on the tablet could "look" to the phone as the service provider instead of the network, I could even see notifications being created from within that app and displayed on the tablet just as if it was actually receiving the texts itself.

I would appreciate any and all help or comments relating to the idea. I think i'll repost it in the main android apps section, since really its not specific to any one tablet.
try this
http://www.kakao.com/talk/en
to the op i totally understand what u want and am also interested.
pairing the tablet with android phone using bluetooth so when u received sms you get notified in your tablet an you be able to replay using your tablet wich will make the phone send this message without u having to remove ur phone from your pocket.
all the solutions mentioned are using wifi, which is a different thing.
i currently use a combination of apps to achieve wifi sms connectivity
remoteSMS + sms2Email buddy. (for notification) this works well in home wifi.
i would be very interested in a blutooth solution (it might be crippled cz it has to be close, but it doesnt need data connectivity chargs)
so +1 for the requesr, please let me know if u found a solution
Well thanks for agreeing with me that it's not a dumb request... No luck so far... keep ya posted if I come up with something.
its not dump at all, .. it has an advantage of not using any wifi / 3g data connecitivty, it would be like having a PadPhone (sms PadPhone)
and actually its not that hard as someone said.
the bluetooth does not have to have an sms api for the app to work, the tablet app could send a text file and the phone app receives the text file, parses it and send a message using the sms api (normal apps can use sms api) and vice versa for receiving an sms .. app gets a copy of the sms received, put it in a text file, sends it to the tablet app using bluetooth, tablet app parses the file and shows it.
i would start developing it but it would take me a long time as am sill noobish in android development, ... if someone could take the lead let me know i might be able to help a little.

Try "Sync SMS"
It still requires wifi, but can send and receive sms's from your tablet via your phone.
Any SMS you receive will go to both your phone and tablet. You can reply from either phone or tablet.
It requires a free Dropbox account.
The whole process of transferring sms's back and forth takes about 20_30 seconds and requires no action on your part.
However in the end I just got a separate Google voice number for my g-tablet and use that.

I understand what you are looking for and it would be nice to have, to be able to use your tablet wherever you are without worrying about wifi connection. But like you said so far there is nothing.
Also you don't have to port your existing number to GV, I use the same cell number I have used for years on my cell phone and got a separate number for my tablet there was no porting or charge involved.

its wifi and its not for free, .. i cant buy it, stupid market restrictions, i asked the developer if he needs a beta tester to let me know.
i get the same function without using dropbox, just my local wifi .. and for free.
i found something, but its paid also, .. ble, ... its over bluetooth though, if anyone willing to try
for phone

for tablet

anyone willing to try it, please let us know
cheers
the app for that is on the market now, its called "bluetooth sms" its 1.99 though but it has a nice honeycomb interface.
Can anyone recomend an offline (I mean without connecting to Google Voice) application for voice dialing. I believe starting from Android 2.2 it is supported.
I've just installed NAND HDFI rom by gauner1986 if it is relevant.
I am looking for an application where I just press button on my bluetooth headset and say the contact name to dial. If the app can read aloud new SMSs and emails it's even better .
I actually found an application Choice Dialer Plus which does the dial via bluetooth with one problem though. I cannot launch the app with my bluetooth handset button. I have to touch the phone to launch the app and then will give command to dial.
I know my handset works alright as I just upgraded from WM6.5 where I had Microsoft voice commander.
It looks I am missing something in the android.
Do I need another application which can listen to the handset or I need something else installed to the android?

You can try my app. It works offline. Application is named VoiceButton. You can find it in GooglePlay.
I think this is what you need.

Thank you, Denis.
My question was from 2011, LOL.
I don't have the HD2 anymore but thank you anyway.
hi I was wondering if there's a way to use voice recognition system without data?
It seems that in the setting, there's an option to use either Google or Samsung powered by
vlingo but is there anything I can use without data It?
Like before the smartphone came into our lives those small 2g phones would have voice dial functions prebuilt without data so why is it that my voice recognition system isn't working without data?
So
I think there are some apps that don't use a data connection. But with those you have to train the app to recognise your voice by pre-recording each action you want to undertake, and pre-recording all your contacts.This is how the old voice recognition software used to work. They are very basic in their functionality though, and will not be able to do things like speech to text for messaging etc.

Hi, I use this app (Google Market Link) since years to make calls and text messaging to/from US. With a Realme RMX3085 text messaging works but the Google Voice Wi-FI call doesn't. It just says "Your call can't collect". Calling from the same network from a laptop or another phone works.
Does Realme block VOIP, or is there some special setting that needs to be changes?
SIP is not blocked ... i'm use Grandstream Wave Lite as SIP client ... to some local and over-inet servers ... works flawlessly ...
here may be different google-related problems also as simple not allowed some permissions, connection, background usage ...
on old versions of android was internal libraries for sip calling ... may be that app related on them

Thanks for the reply. I have inserted a SIM card and it works. It works even if put the phone into airplane mode and enable just WIFI so I am sure it works over WIFI. Looks like some strange quirk of Google.
