Real Messaging!!

Okay so I don't have a xoom but I have the g slate no forum for that right now so I'm posting this here. The free amazon app of the day is text plus and its better than google voice to text. It pops up on your screen with a reply box has push notifications and sends your text plus number to your facebook friends or your gmail contacts. I just got it on my g slate and I'm texting my vibrant it seems to be working great and its free so why not try it out right?
Anyways its in the amazon market today for free so go get it and try it out.

Not sure what those apps do because I've never used them but this app gives you a phone number and allows you to text as if your tablet was a phone so its not I'm its text and it has a pop-up notification when you recieve a text. So basically it feels a lot like a native text application. Rather then an instant messaging client

So you can call that number from land line as well?

No, it gives you a number and you text as if that was your actual tablet number.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App

meh.. useless in that case... hard enough for me to get my friends to test to my gv instead og my voice number... having a different number for my tablet sounds very confusing.

If your friends are that lazy I feel bad for them. It's really simple to add a contact to an existing one and text that number if you don't get a response from the phone number

Doesn't show "via facebook for android"

The status updates by my phone shows up as via mobile not via facebook for android, does any one know a fix?

Yeah, use the app instead of your browser. App will say android, browser will say mobile.

Then it says Facebook for Android.
EDIT: I stand corrected. Facebook is so silly.

Maybe they changed it?

The app changed. Does it bother you that much?

This is part of the petty google vs facebook fight. FB took out the reference to Android in the app...

Use Friendcaster

My app still says via android... if your going into view profile that puts you through the browser... other than that I would reinstall it. Unless it is different for the nexus
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App

LOL... who cares?

This version of facebook is really ****ed up because:
it always lists messages in "most popular" instead of "lastest news"
this version doesn't display messages from other posters
I finally gave up using app and use browser instead.

Omg this is so frustrating

Clearly it is defective. Return it to your local Sprint store. I understand this is a widespread and well known issue that is covered by warranty.

Google Voice is free. Not sure on the app, might be GrooveIP Lite.

If you can connect to wifi then you're good. No voice/data plan? Good for flashing.
Still Charged Up

You can get the 30 dollar T-Mobile plan for 5GB of data and use the GV app and use Sipdroid for phone calls. It doesn't work too good over edge (unless you get good signal) so make sure you get 3g.

Not to sound rude or anything but there's this cool thing called a search engine, maybe you've heard of it. You can use it to find basic to advanced information, such as the answers to literally all of your questions in this thread.

Basically you make phone calls over data.

Facebook issues

Been having issues with the Facebook app where I do not get any notifications. Anyone else have this happen to them? Suggestions?
Sent from my GT-P6800 using xda premium

I have no issues on my 6810 after the last upgrade, perhaps you need to change how often facebook updates? or select which notifications show up?

Or check your web facebook setting. Under authorised app...it work for me last time...

I have it to update every 30 mins, they should have it to update earlier than that. I have it to show all Notifications but I don't get a single one.

Sent from my GT-P6800 using xda premium

Bellow is all the apps that are authorized to work with Facebook but the main Facebook app is not listed no matter what version I install. I had v 1.9.9 and I am now running v 1.9.7. I can't seem to figure out what is wrong with it and really annoyed that I am not getting any notifications.
Sent from my GT-P6800 using xda premium

yup... facebook notification on android seem to be lacking since forever... they never fixed it... my last time work around... find someone who owns blackberry... borrow it for a while and log in facebook using their bb apps... and suddenly the bloody notification on android is working fine...

I just gave up and use Friendcaster for the notifications. It's not as heavy on the battery as the official app; and I just browse the regular web site.

I have Friendcaster as well but noticed I don't get notifications from some of my friends and their post don't show up. If I want to check it need to log to the Facebook website in order to look at the posts, not very convenient

How the heck did non contact full name appeared when I dial their phone number????

So I dialed a number that was not in my contact list and somehow the person who I called name populated in the dial screen which made it look like it was one of my contacts. First and last name appeared.
How the heck did that happen? I can't find anything here as to how it happen.
I'm bugged out!!

Facebook syncing? Twitter syncing? That would be my best guess.

Exactly from what I saw they don't have one

Lol I'd bug in from that too. Wasn't Google doing some sort of Yellow Pages integration into KK? But I thought that was for local businesses, but not sure on that. Gonna search this out myself as well
