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.

there isnt one. widgets will be like before, a long press on the home screen brings up a menu where you can chose widgets.

I'm excited, I'll be getting it at launch.
It's a very well designed device from the looks of it.
As for the video, I wish he would've shown more of what's new in 4.4.
I know what YouTube, earth, chrome, calendar, the play store and keep look like...
I would've liked to have seen more of the new launcher and how widgets are added, the new way search is handled, etc.

I think this is an earlier build of kitkat, it has the old youtube and the version number says KeyLimePie. The screenshots that were leaked seem to show the more updated version.
Edit - as said in video description

I'm not too happy with this if that is the case. Hangouts has far to many hiccups and slowdowns to be my sole messaging app.

ill be honest with you, i feel the same way about hangouts. ive been replacing hangouts with gtalk until about a month ago, for that exact reason. hangouts did slightly improve, thats why im using it now, but it is not the best app. oddly, it runs quick without issues on my nexus 7, and on my friends note 2. but on the n4, it has issues. hopefully its update will correct that for the n4, and hopefully it runs as perfect on the n5 as it does on my n7.

I am pretty sure that Google has smoothened out the hiccups you speak of. I for one think that the Hangouts and SMS merge is a smart one. I bet users who has never used Hangout will now get familiar with it.

I personally love hangouts it's clean and simple

I just hope they give some options to hide groups of people and separate sms chats from hangouts. I don't need everyone from Google+ showing up. Most I don't talk to, but like to follow for news ect.

sadly it looks like this confirms that the battery is not removeable. that blows! thats actually a deal breaker for me i think.

I dont like this phone's design. I love Nexus 4's design .
If nexus 5's battery is 3000 mah, then I can Buy a nexus 5.

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

Camera and sms auto reply questions

Is there a way to switch between front and rear cameras while recording video on MM?
Also, is there a good sms app that does auto reply besides the Verizon Message+ bloatware? I like the Samsung messenger app. I just want that one function.

No idea about 1st but I use Fluenty for second, it works without needing to disable whatever SMS app you use, Textra in my case. Probably not best place to post this if you want a lot of responses

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.

My wife can't receive the text I send her through allo :crying: back to old messaging app I guess

This app is working great for me. I love it! Thanks for the heads up!

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..
