I have a Nexus One with Tmobile as my main cell-phone. I received a Sprint HTC EVO 4G from the Google IO conference. I want all of the text messages I receive on my Nexus One to AUTOMATICALLY forward, as text messages, to my Sprint EVO smartphone. Is this possible? If so, how do I set this up?

Another way you can go about it is forward the sms as email and set the program to not mark as read.
Edit: This is referring to a 3rd party program from the market. There are a few, try some and see what you think.

This is a good time to mention Google Voice, for anyone who might be unaware of it's powerful awesomeness. As of a few months ago, I've fully switched over and I am loving it. If you're going to have two phone numbers for a while (or even if not), you would be a prime candidate for Google Voice.
Everyone should check it out, highly recommended!

I already have google voice. Everyone with a Nexus One has Google voice. I do not want to make people switch to my new google voice number, and Google voice has nothing to do with what I want to accomplish anyhow. The point of the thread is how to make an android phone automatically forward text messages, AS TEXT MESSAGES, to another phone. Do you know how to do that? If so, please share it with us.
If you did forward them as text messages, they would just come back as sent from your phone. The solution I gave works better because they will apear as SMS From:xxxx.
Update...
A friendly fellow on another android message board system tipped me off to SMS Forwarder in the android marketplace. I installed it on my Froyo Nexus One, and it works like a charm.
However, I hope there is a way to do this internally in android, instead of requiring a third-party application.

The SMS Forwarder application shows where the forwarded text message originally came from.

I was saying it might be beneficial to consider using GV for texting in the future. If it's such a huge deal to switch for you, then fine forget it. But it's still information for others who might be reading, which is why I specifically said "for anyone" / "everyone". This is a public forum after all.

No there isn't.
The absolute best way to get SMS forwarding is through your carrier. But that'll depend on whether your carrier cares enough to add such a feature. Rogers in Canada just added it.

- It's a public forum, but my initial question was very specific. You nearly de-railed the thread.
- I did a quick search, in fact I did an extensive search on these boards and on the net. I couldnt find any answers so I posted here.
- My very specific question asked how to automatically forward a text message from my Nexus One phone to my Sprint EVO phone. Forwarding from a google voice number to other phones was never the right answer, and you know it. Why people insist on inserting themselves into internet message board questions, when they know they don't actually have the correct answer, is beyond me.

A VERY quick search on the market brought up some results you were looking for.
And people usually insert themselves even if it's not the exact answer the OP might have been looking for because the OP might not know about the idea, and decide that fulfills his/her needs for the situation. Why people insist on giving douche responses on internet messaging boards when people are merely trying to help them is beyond me.
PROBLEM SOLVED !!!
This works on my Bell Vogue, with Myn Warn Donut RLS5 on nand, to access Canada only apps such as the TD Bank app.
Get the application "market enabler" from here. I went to one of the linked download sites the author uploaded the app to.
Look up your 6 digit network code from this long list and enter it into the market enabler custom field.
Voila !
----------------------------------------------------
I am running Myn's warm donut on my Vogue here in Canada on the Bell Mobility network.
I wanted to install thhttp://code.google.com/p/market-enabler TD bank app, which is only available through the Canadian android market. I'm guessing because my ROM is based on a US carrier's ROM that I am accessing the USA android market. I can not find the TD bank app.
I tried the locale settings but English-Canada is not even an option.
I assume this issue is not limited to warm donut.
Is there a way I can get my phone to access the Canadian android market?
Thanks in advance.
the TD Bank App isn't available yet! It was on the marketplace a few days ago but it was only for a short time as it was released accidentally. I am on Bell and I saw the app using Myn's Warm Donut rom so when it is actually released you should be able to get it!
There is actually a news piece over at MobileSyrup about the TD bank app that talks about the release!

I did read several articles on it including that one. My understanding is that the app IS available now, even TD's website claims it is. What the articles said was that TD in error released their app to the global android market. When they realised this, they quickly withdrew it from the global market, and made it available only on the Canadian android market.
That is why several non-Canadian sites became aware of it, and likely how you briefly saw it using your Myn's warm donut ROM, until it was quickly withdrawn from the global market.
Here's the scoop from androidspin. com
The mystery of the vanishing app has been solved. To refresh, yesterday’s market-fresh apps post included a pretty nice looking app for TD Bank of Canada. An astute reader pointed out the app was now missing, so I put detective Matthew Cram of corporate and public affairs of TD Bank on the case. His answer is elementary:
The TD mobile app for Android is only available via the Canadian Android Market. There was a brief (one hour) window last week where our Android mobile app was mistakenly made available globally. I assume that’s when you saw it?
We hope to have a U.S. version of the TD mobile app for Android ready by late summer.
Cheers,
Matthew Cram

So anyone north of the border should still be able to find the TD app in their market, and it looks like us Americans will have a TD app of our own in a few months. Case closed!
installed the warm espresso theme and then a lot more regions were available in local settings !?
selected english canada, but still the us market
rebooted - still the us market - no td bank app
(I am in Canada on Bell)
anyone know how to change app market country?
Looking forward to this being figured out. I have myn's warm donut rls 5, wish i could get that TD app.
boing - er bump !
You are the man!, worked like a charm in Central America, thank you very much

Changing you country in the root code
Does anyone know how to do this, i'm trying to use the Market Enabler but it is not working. my code is listed as china and i,m in the US HELP please.
Thanks for this advice, but the linked-to list doesn't show 6-digit codes. I see a 3-digit MMC and a 2-digit MNC. What 6-digit code are you referring to here?
Thanks

We got a problem Hustom
Hi team,
I have a Galaxy S3 GT-I9300, Romanian SIM card, operator Orange.
Device is not rooted.
I Launch Market Enabler > Set Custom tab > and input the MNC and MCC for Italy, operator TIM (22201) > Set to this values
If I go to Settings List tab > long press [it]TIM > select fake this provider now, it is still showing "we got a problem Houston"
I tried with original SIM card in and out of the phone, and different combinations.
Why is it now working? what am I missing? (brains, i know.)
Thank you in advance,
Dan

This app doesn't work anymore.
researching something else, came across this - samsung just released "samsung Dive" in Germany & UK - an app that lets you wipe or lock your phone remotely if lost or stolen
http://www.slipperybrick.com/2010/07/samsung-dive-remotely-locks-wipes-your-wave-galaxy-s-for-free/
I just signed up for it and tried it. Annoying that they're not enabling the tracking service depending on the country, wavesecure does that and more... If there a way to work around it by a proxy or such?

From homescreen, go into settings -> location & security -> set mobile tracker

You need a Samsung account first. In settings go to the area where it allows you to add various accounts like facebook/gmail and add a samsung account... then go to http://www.samsungdive.com/index.do
then enable mobile tracking ...
login with the account you made etc
full instructions are on that website ...
Thats the problem, in the account settings there is no samsung option, just google, facebook, myspace,twitter and corporate. and the instructions on the website are for the S8500 Wave, not the Galaxy S. enabling mobile tracker in security doesnt work, as again, there is no option to create an account, so even if it is set up, you cant access it from the website.
Since its not available in the US yet.

annoyingly, i'm in the uk so it is available where i am, just i cant access it

i figured it out.
in contrast to the website, in order to create your samsung account, you have to enable mobile tracker first. then after setting it up do you get the option to make your samsung account, which is the opposite of the information on the website, saying that you need to make the account first and then enable mobile tracker. hope this helps anyone who was stuck
Brilliant, thanks
I'm trying to sign up for an account now, and it's coming back with an error message, saying "invalid birthday" .... which is odd - I'm fairly sure my birthday is NOT invalid - I am fairly sure I have in fact been born!

When we know Samsung's skills to implement working and bug free software, do you dare to install that piece of software that can wipe off your phone I'm not sure, if I dare.
The service don't seem to work though. Tried sending a remote lock command, and it said it was successful, but I can still use the phone without providing the lock code.
Might be dependant on TwLauncher though. I use LauncherPro
it says it's only for UK and Germany

Is anyone having any luck signing up with the Web Tracker?
I've got a Galaxy S on Froyo, and it won't let me sign up. I fill in all the fields fine, but then get this error: "Unable to sign up. Processing failed IDM_1105"
Any ideas?
All signed up and seems to be working. Sent a location request and waiting for reply now. The register being hidden under the on screen keyboard did have me stumped for a while. Also date of birth is YYYY DD MM so not easy to get right without an example.
The UK update truly improves the overall notification experience but I still only get subject onlyof emails from touchdown plus multiple emails are grouped together. Sony w2 at least can provide body of email as well. Any way to improve gear to provide body of emails?

It's not MK7 that broke receiving body text via Exchange, it's GM 1.5 which you must use with MK7. Interesting it affects TD. So far complaints have been with Samsung's Exchange client. TD is big in B2B and probably is as rigid as Samsung's client in EAS security enforcement. Some people are using the AOSP Exchange client while others are waiting/hoping that the next version of GM fixes the issue. If you're rooted you can change your build.prop to a non-U.S. CSC but both rooting and altering your CSC could have side affects for DRM and connecting to secure networks. BTW, the code in GM that blocks body text only does so when the Gear is connected to a device with a U.S. CSC. MK7/1.5 worked fine on my LATAM N10.1-14 when I tested it.
I forgot to mention my last post that once you get the gear manager and the gear on MK7, you do have to replace the stock email app and load a newer one to get the full notifications back.

The fact that TD is broken too most likely means the alternate mail clients that do work don't support EAS or some other types of client control used in managed Exchange environments. TD, Good, and the Samsung client are the only one's I've ever been permitted to use across companies I've connected to. The solution is for Samsung to get their act together or explain why they've done what they've done.

I can't root else IT will cut me off. But if I understand you correctly if I load the LATAM N10.1-14 firmware and reinstalled email client it might work?
Otherwise I probably can't wait for Samsung to fix and will return my gear. I need the body of my emails. I'll have no choice for now but to go the Sony SW2. The best of two evils when used with smart watch augmented Pro.

I'm in the same boat you are - I can't root or my phone and tablet are toast connecting to some of the networks I do. I only mentioned my Note 10.1 as an example to demonstrate it's not the Gear itself and whatever Samsung did to GM only applies to U.S. devices. Our only choice (in the U.S.) is to hope the next version of GM and whatever follows MK7 in the U.S. for the Gear restores what we lost. You might ask your IT group if they'll let you use Google's AOSP Exchange client which (I don't believe) requires root but if they're smart enough to banish rooted devices they'll most likely be smart enough to know which Android Exchange clients are most secure.

My son ODed on 11.17.14. I have been looking over his phone for some time. In a moment of utter stupidity I deleted all SMS messages. Links from me, his mother, his sibling and his friends. I have been looking online for ways to recover msgs. Dr. fone appears to be one of the best but does not work on his phone. It appears it would work if the phone was rooted. I have downloaded and installed towelroot. The app says the phone is not supported. I have found and used the three Mod string modifiers. the app still says the phone is not supported. I even went to the ATT device support center and they said they could not help. Please anyone, help me recover my son's messages. Its the last words I will ever have from him.
Thank you.

thank you.
Download AT&T messages if it is not already installed. After you log in it will start downloading all of the logs, sms, calls, etc.
@grievingDad,
I truly do not intend to be callous in this situation, but I will make a few points here and some may be helpful.
1) I don't know who you are, and since I do not know you, I cannot be certain of your motives for even trying to retrieve deleted messages. If you have truly lost someone and your motives are as simple as they appear in your firt message, my heart goes out to you and I wish you all the best in trying to retrieve your son's messages. I only say this because I would not even attempt to retrieve deleted messages for someone if they were doing it for spiteful or illegal reasons (Example: Jealous lover, disgruntled employee, etc.). There are probably more illegitimate reasons to retrieve another person's messages than legitmate ones. I am guessing that is why you will have a difficult time finding someone to help you with this directly. I am not an attorney, but even helping you to retrieve deleted messages sounds like a slippery slope.
2) You may be able to get an attorney to petition AT&T for a record of the messages. I believe that they have to keep them for a certain period of time for legal reasons. I'm not sure how accessible the messages will be. I remember trying to get a copy of one of my own messages (many years ago), and I wasn't able to get it from them. I know that messages are subpoenaed in court, but you might have to involve a judge to get them.
3) If your son used Hangouts for messaging (not the stock messaging app), you may be able to get the messages through his Google account. You might be able to ask Google for his password. I suspect that it would invole contacting Google and send them an official copy of the death certificate. I doubt that it would be easy.
4) It is possible that you could something wrong and brick the phone. In other words, you would never get anything off of it.
5) Consider the possibility that the messages may really be gone forever. Some things in the digital world offer the ability of recovering from "Oops!", but some things are meant to be deleted permanently. I am not trying to be a pessimist. All I am trying to do is counter the notion that everything is hackable and data is never really lost.
I don't think your being callous, just pointing out things i didn't consider.
1) It never occurred to me that that the post would be interpreted as nefarious. I know using names instead of handles is not very common, but if you wish you can look up his obit in the Baton Rouge Advocate. His name is William McCardle. My name is Douglas. I can be found at the number listed above in the same city. I'm not an attorney either, but I don't believe providing information on rooting a phone would lead to any type of prosecution. The service for all four numbers on the family plan are in my name.
2) I took the phone to the ATT device service center. I assumed if it was possible to retrieve msm from their servers they would have advised me there. But maybe not. I will contact ATT directly and/or consult with the family atty.
3) Hangouts is on the phone, but doesn't appear to have any msgs. Nothing is in Archives. The msms icon was one of the four permanent icons at the bottom, so I assume it is the stock messaging app.
4) I have copied/backup the device to Kies 3 and copied all photos to my computer. Even if the phone is bricked, it is worth the risk to get the msms back.
5) Its good you pointed out that not all data is recoverable. I was aware that even an App was able to retrieve msms, that some may be corrupted or overwritten due to reuse of the memory space.
6) Lastly, my motives are just that simple.
Thank you for the reply. Any further input would be greatly appreciated.
The App AT&T messages will recover just about every message sent and received from the line.
I don't recall if it recovers MMS messages.
It should be on the phone already. If not you may be able to download in he play store.
I used it once when I was going to be out of a service area. Connected to WiFi and used the app. While using the app it seemed to download every message ever sent and received. Took forever and I could not stop it.
Success
Thanks to those who replied. Installed the att msgs app and all the texts have been downloaded.
Just wish I had followed the advise on the 3rd when it was first suggested.
