Anyone in this forum using pingchat? I'm sure you've all heard of it before but if not, its pretty much like bbm but for all operating systems not including windows mobile.
If anyone uses it feel free to add me: PingID: Diorisr

A coworker of mine and I tried out PingChat for a while and ended up getting rid of it. We had a lot of issues with failed messages and messages being delivered hours after they were sent.
Granted, this was all a couple months ago, so maybe updates have fixed all of this.
hmm....so far so good for me. But i just read about liveprofile. supposedly its JUST like bbm, but until that comes out, pingchat will have to do.

Well kids, i've been running Handcent since day 1. Up until recently it's been great. Exactly what i wanted. But the past few updates have ruined it. It's slower then ever. To the point of being unusable and i've had enough.
What are some alternatives to Handcent? The real reason i got it was because i liked the layout it offered. I never really played with the other features. Any suggestions welcome.
I tried the new Stock and its ok.
Going to try Go SMS.
I've been using GoSMS

agreed, handcent has become crapware, bloated, packed with "online services".
I used to love it, for it's customizability. (hard to believe thats a real word...)
but with the new Messaging 3.0 in the Sense2.1/3 ROMs... its good enough.
I've heard bad things about GoSMS losing msgs. suddenly deleting All msgs...

I have yet to hear anyone say that go SMS has done so. But it seems to be an android problem. I've heard both handcent and chomp SMS delete all messages. Also, if you do a Google search, various android devices have been plagues with deleted messages (the original Droid comes to mind) ,even when using the stock messaging app.
It seems to have been a problem in the messaging framework in earlier android versions. I'd be interested if you could find these reports of deleted messages on phones running Gingerbread.

+1 on Go Sms. Handcent has become bloated with a bunch of unnecessary junk....

I think I am going to give Go SMS a try
GoSMSPro FTW
Just did a search to see if anyone else was noticing how slow it was. Guess I'm not the only one. Gonna try GO as well.
Does your epic have instant Facebook notifications when someone postson your wall or comments on something you posted?
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
Nope. Also have a lot of issues with being notified of a comment but when I open the app it says I have nothing. Tweetdeck workedfine for a while but I got tired of it.

Yes, I've been receiving push notifications from the Facebook app. Didn't think they had em since there's a refresh interval setting, but apparently that's for everything including your news feed I suppose. You get push notifications as long as you have the "notifications" box checked in the settings.
Professor did you come from a blackberry to the epic by chance?
Anyone else getting push notifications correctly?

Nope, came from the Samsung Instinct... lol, hella lame phone.
While it really doesn't make sense to me, this is the experience I have had.
Facebook notifications work wonderfully for a few days after I flash a new ROM. They fizzle out and stop working and I forget about it. Then I decide to flash a new leak or SRF comes out with a new version and all of a sudden they work again for a few days.
I don't know why that would be, but it happens every time. I stopped trying to understand and just live with it.
honestly... stock, rom, whatever, I could never get FB notifications to work. is it because I have it being autokilled?
I would have no idea since I turn them off to save battery life. Actually they do work until one goes off after I flashed a rom. Then I turn them off.

My girlfriend has had 2 Blackberrys and I recently got her a Desire and the only thing that bugs her is how she used to get instant notifications from her Facebook app and now she doesn't. The only things that come to her phone as notifications are event invites, friend requests and messages. That's all I get other than through my email as well.
Didn't even know FB pushed notifications. As of now I get notifications to my gmail.
Mine just started working correctly a few weeks ago. I get an instant notification when someone posts, comments on my wall, or sends me a message.
Not sure why it started working but it did..
I'm not sure, but I don't think Facebook uses C2DM. If they do, then they really, REALLY need to fire whoever does the coding for it because it sucks badly.
Edit: Apparently they DO use C2DM, they just suck ass at implementing it.
I've been running CM7 since the last "Alpha" release and have it updated with the Oct 22 update. I don't recall exactly when, but I started recieving these "optout" notifications. I don't know if it's related to CM7 or something else, but they're not cool at all . Does anyone know where they're coming from or how to stop them?

The only app I have installed now that was not before I switched to CM7 is Go SMS Pro. Has anyone had any experience with it?
Go sms pro doesn't do that, but i don't use go fb chat. What opens when you click it?

Found this after a bit of research. Looks like an adbased app on your phone is using their apk. Seems they do support opt out, but aren't doing a good job a securing your identity period.

I'm not going to click those %^#$%#$%#$ Spam messages... I clear all the notifications. The only features of Go SMS Pro I use are SMS & MMS. I don't have Facebook, Myspace, Google+ or any other "Social networking" (Read: Stalking) crap. Want nothing to do with any of them. Any ideas how I can track down where it came from? I've looked at the installed apps and services with Titanium Backup and nothing stands out. Unless One of the other apps got 'updated' to include this new 'feature', Go SMS seems the most likely suspect at the moment.

wats a myspace?
Although I usually have 150-200+ apps installed at any one time, I started getting those annoying little "notifications" almost as soon as I installed the free version of the IPhone keyboard. Not cool at all...
How often do they come up? Is it at a predetermined time or is it random? A relatively easy way to narrow it down may be to look at market reviews of suspected apps.
Girlfriend had this problem. There's an app called airpush detector on the market. Download it to see what's causing the ads

So I found this app called tablet talk which is supposed to sync your phone to your tablet via WiFi and it uses your mobile phone number, so you can send text messages and see missed calls, etc. from your tablet..... has anyone used this app, or maybe something similar? If so, how does it work? Is it worth the money? If this is something that works flawlessly, then I can see it is a must-have for a user like me who would love to be able to receive and send text messages from my tablet. Just wanted some opinions on this app, or something similar. So far this is the only app that I have found that can do this.

Brilliant app, I used it all the time before I sent my nexus back. It connects via Bluetooth or wifi, but i always used bluetooth, it was easier to connect. Text messages show up just like they do on your phone, definitely work the money
Just use the free 15 quid credit that came with your nexus.

Yep. Love this app as well. Great for in car as well. Now I don't have to have both my tab and my phone mounted to my windshield. Just my tab and tablet talk....text messages and answering calls (Bluetooth headset of course)

Using it as well, very handy app. Between that and Groove IP, I generally don't mess with my phone when I'm at home.
Just as everybody else has said, it is worth the purchase. I usually throw my phone in my room and carry the N7 around with me when I'm home so it's nice getting texts and calls sent to the N7 that would have been missed.
Funny seeing this post, cause not to long ago i posted looking for an app like this and someone referred it to me....LOVE this App and use it everyday....you can also accept calls if you have a bluetooth headset paired....its awesome and would refer it to anyone looking to basically use theyre phone features on theyre tablet....

Thank you everyone for the replies. I did end up purchasing this app today and have used it quite a bit just for texting so far. Don't own a Bluetooth headset so I probably won't use it for calls, but its definitely convenient to not have to have both my phone and the tablet next to me npw,. I love being able to received my text messages on my tablet. Showed it to a friend and they really want it now too, but the problem is they have an iPad and a Samsung s3, so I don't know if there is an app that is cross-compatible. If anyone knows of one I'm sure they would appreciate it if you could let me know. Thanks again everyone

You done need to use a Bluetooth headset unless you are in public. Otherwise you can just put it on speaker phone.

I've trawled through Google and XDA to find potentional fixes on various platforms for Jellybean but I can't seem to remove this on JB. I've tried used GoSMS and alas, no such luck.
I've also got SQLite Editor and inserted sms_outgoing_check_max_count into the secure settings.db and still no success. This is really frustrating me as I do text a lot and I can't seem to find a fix!
Help would be much appreciated.
I remember that on CM10 there was an option to increase that warning till it reaches 1000 under Settings > Security
I hope it comes to CM10.1 because that bugs me too.

YES! Me too, thank-you for this thread.
I've tried the methods you talked about as well and nothing seems to work on the Nexus 4 version 4.2.1. (updated on Friday btw).

Anyone have any success? I really don't want to use any other apps to text.
I've used GoSms but still had the same issue. The stock app won't send messages to groups which is super lame as I like the simplicity of it.

This is really frustrating. I sent a text to my group of friends at 7am in the morning and 10 hours later its still flagging the error and its unsent. I can't send any more texts :banghead:
Can someone please help?!

Anyone had any progress in resolving this?
Not in stock, as Google have done the right thing as to stop rougue apps sending SMSs in the background without your knowledge. OK, there should be the option to turn it off but tbh if you're sending that many SMSs why not just send an email instead? Or call? You'll get the conversation over in 5 minutes!!
My rule of thumb is more than 5 SMSs, call as it's quicker
I have large groups of friends and regularly text a lot on a weekly basis, calling and email is out of the question for such large numbers.
To justify this is madness I tell thee! Point being it's down right ridiculous and it has never been a problem before. I'm having to hit allow for 100+ text and its a huge problem
It takes best part of half a day to get these approved. I've tried everything out there still no luck.

Solution
I was able to use the max_outgoing... trick on my ICS phone but it stopped working on my JB phone. I don't know what's the trick but there is an app on Google Play that worked on my JB 4.2.2 phone - I'm not going to advertise it here but you can search for yourself. Bon chance!

Custom roms dont have this issue, but there is a solution... go find SMS limit remover. Don't remember if it requires root.
