Send text to nexus 7

I've seen a lot of apps that will send your phone text to a tablet but it seems like none are compatible yet anyone know of any that are yet ?

Tablet talk works great.

I use "What's App." Works great across different platforms (and especially for international texts - no fees!). It's like an instant messaging service, but it piggybacks your cell network if you're tethering.
EDIT: sorry, I forgot to mention that it only works if the other person has What's App, too.

I use Google voice, only thing that you don't get are the picture msgs.

Try HeyWire Link ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5tZWRpYWZyaWVuZHMuY2hpbWUiXQ.. ) in google play it is free and it works. Takes a few min's to setup and a little thinking because of the way the help files are, well there english is not to good lets put it that way. But it works very well. Hope that helps

Yes, I also use the fantastic product: 'Tablet Talk'

I just use Google Voice which is linked to my Sprint account. Only downside is that you can't receive MMS.

+1 for tablet talk, it works great I just hope for more theme/customizing options in the future.

Whoah, great thread. Thanks for sharing guys. Think I'll try Tablet Talk on my Nexus 7!

Another +1 for Tablet Talk. It gets the job done.

im slow, can i use my existing phone number?

Yes. Tablet talk syncs to your phone via WiFi or Bluetooth..so technically its using your cell service as an "extension" to your cell phone. I love it.

Google Voice, however like someone mentioned they haven't incorporated MMS into it yet.
Will try Tablet Talk tho.

I've used Tablet Talk for a couple weeks now and it hasn't really worked for me. I'm thinking that it's probably because of my phone. Does anyone else have a Galaxy S II/N7 pairing that works?

Did you download the update? It has some sort of fixes in it.

Be a bit more specific For example..are you using a 3rd party SMS program such as GoSms or Handicent? If so..read the FAQ for tablet talk.
Whats the issue that you're having?

Seriously amazed by tablet talk, my galaxy s3,suffered the sudden death syndrome, so was in a fickle, bought a cheap Huawei blaze and it's tethered to my phone and having to use tablet talk for texts and calls is amazing. Those using tablet talk for Blue tooth calling how clear is it.

If I'm not mistaken, In tablet talk you have to be connected by blue tooth or on the SAME wifi. An app called CLOUD SMS doesn't require that you be on the same wifi, I can receive text on my n7 even if I'm connected to wifi and my phone is not.

Possibility of an app that allows the WiFi only N7 to send & receive SMS & MMS

There are apps that allow the sending and receiving of SMS & MMS from a computer via your phone would it be possible for such an app to be created to do the same but using the N7 instead of using a computer?

Thanks, didn't know any apps were available that did that. I've gone for TabletTalk because it has call features as well.
Does the sound from the TabletTalk app get routed through the N7 or direct from the teathered phone, e.g have a wired headset plugged into phone and use N7 as the dialer using TabletTalk?

No worries, to be fair never actually taken the plunge and used either of them.
Just knew they existed !
And probably better to go for TabletTalk as its developed by an XDA member !
Have fun and glad I helped

You can do that yes. As far as I am aware the only limitation tablet talk has is that incoming audio cannot be fed through the tablet (limitation in android itself)
You can still use the mic to chat but you either need to have a headset connected to your phone (wired/bt) or you can activate your phones speakerphone through tablet talk.

Tablet Talk works great, Real shame can't use the built in mic/speaker, would use it for calls in that case.

textab lite also works well. Ive been using that today, kinda testing it out. Havent had any issues at all.

...and if you want wifi calls, GrooveIP works well.

Groove IP And Google voice are great if you live in or around the US. Sadly they are pretty much useless for us Europeans.

in the uk you can start a account on the 02 website. then set it as a favourite in chrome, simply click the favourite ,sign in and send txt messages

I have been really happy with Google Voice. SMS daily.

I like Google Voice as well for basic texting over wifi. But, you can't do mms or use the short codes in place of phone numbers.

The problem with that is you don't get replies to it, I used to use the Orange version when I was on Orange years ago.

That's Ok as I tend to take my Sony Live Key out with me for Google Music and just in case I need to make and receive a phone call, but texting seems a pain on the 4.2" screen of my Sony Xperia Arc S compared to the larger screen of the N7.
The Dev has done a good visual job with Tablet Talk as the Dialer and Messaging look like the ICS/JB Stock ones and the quick reply popup is so convenient.

I'd love to see Google Voice come to the UK as I'd use it instead of my phone in the house then use it to reply to any replies that I get when I'm out of WiFi coverage and only have 3G coverage.

Does the N7 support hands free headsets for the likes of using Google Voice or is it only headphones and the Ok device mics for that?

You need wifi on the tablet and service on the phone but they don't have to be on the same network or connected by bluetooth

Couldn't get tablet talk to work properly. Tried dinamotxt and works like a charm between my n7 and n4. Bluetooth is required for setup but then allows you to turn it off which is nice on battery life.

Tablet talk /desksms never gave me any problems weird lol just looked and I use tablet sms haha

[Q] Use n7 as home phone

I plan on using my n7 as my home phone, i will also attach a speaker to it so that it is loud enough to be heard throughout my home.
I have a question to anyone that uses their n7 heavily throughout the day, have u run into any issues by leaving your n7 powered on for more than 6-8 hours? like i said i plan on using it as my home phone, and it will be powered on for a long period of time and, it will mostly be on stand by. screen off with wifi on and talkatone in the background awaiting any important phone calls.
any positive inputs would be appreciated

I leave my n7 on all the time with the Wi-Fi and GPS radios always on and have hardly any issues.
If l realize that I have not rebooted it in several days, I'll reboot it - though I honestly don't remember ever needing to reboot it other than when messing with the recovery, or installing a kernel.
While it's setting there with the screen off with Wi-Fi and GPS on it seems to only use 1 to maybe 2 percent of the battery per hour.

3G disconnects when on the phone

It it normal for my mobile internet to disable when I'm talking on the phone? And when I cut off it comes back

It's always done it for me so I'm assuming it's normal

Are other phones like this?

I'll also say my old Galaxy Nexus and HTC One X did the same - I'm almost 100% sure it's normal behavior in Android

If I'm not mistaken it's because your using 3g to call someone. Now if you were on 4G and try to call somebody most likely it would still say 4G on the top notification bar because it's using your non LTE band to call somebody and allows you to use LTE for data purposes so you would be able to hop on the internet and browse at the same time on a call. Now I know with AT&T you can call somebody and browse the internet while on 3G.
