[APP] Tablet Talk - anyone use it?

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.

[Q] Nexus 7 Screen Recorder?

I have a Nexus 7, and I want to do video tutorials to show other people how to do certain things on the Nexus 7. I don't want to root, and I've tried doing the ADB/[email protected] thing on a Windows XP computer, then plugging my Nexus in. On the devices list, nothing shows up. Is there a better tutorial out there, or a better way to record screen? I'd really appreciate help. Thanks!

ATM screencast in the android market doesn't support the nexus line yet. If you have a digital camera you can use that. Your smart phone will work too.

Just found a solution
This isn't perfect, but it's the best thing I've found so far:
I can't post a link because I'm new here as a member, but search the Play store for MirrorOP Sender.
It's called MirrorOP Sender, and it pushes a video feed of the screen. Get MirrorOP Receiver for Windows or another android device and you can get the video feed there, and control the device from it. You could do a "proxy screen caster", perhaps, but not a direct one.

There are some apps int the market but none of them works on Tegra2 or Tegra3...
You can still give a try...

Anybody got nexus 7 to work with jawbone up?

I am interested in buying a jawbone up but from what i can read online no one has successfully synced jawbone up with nexus 7..wondering if experts here have had better luck ? Nexus 7 is not on their supported devices at the moment but you can install the app.

Well to answer both your question, I have to say it does work with the nexus 7. the app is not currently in the app store on google play, you have to download the app separately. a quick google and you shall find what you are looking for. its slow to upload, but works. goggle jawbone up apk for samsung note 2, this is the version I am using and I have to say it works.

Nexus 7 is missing line in support
Do you also get the arm wrist to sync with your nexus 7?
I read that the up needs line in support on the audio jack and neither the old or new nexus 7 provide that.
Of course you can install the app but without syncing there is not much sense in it.
Would be glad to hear that i'm wrong...

It works just fine on my Nexus 7 2013, I can sync it with no problems, so far. I am running stock KitKat (4.4.2) ROM, if it matters.

Jawbone UP v2 (audio jack one) + Nexus 7 fhd 2013 works great together
get the app from here apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader
you can get every app directly from the store. just put in the link or the app name (com.jawbone.up) and get it.
the first time i plugged the wristband didn't work at all.. sync error
i hard reset the wrist the first time (9 click + 1 long 30sec click) then i hack with volume and after some plugs and unplugs it worked.
if volume is max or min it doesn't sync.
i hope it helped.

Rooting Rogers/Bell D803

Rooting now available for Canadian D803 models from Rogers and Bell. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448887

Do you HAVE to use this root? I am not familiar with the Android stuff. I mean, I have done it before, but that was years ago. I am seeing posts from people that have rooted with some other files I think.
I am looking for a clean KitKat os... I guess I want the same one Google would push out to a Nexus. Is this what that is?

Rooting doesn't get you official kit Kat

So.. the OS installs are just modified OS's being redistributed by joe blow from his basement or something?
Sorry, but I don't understand.

Installing custom ROMs will change your 'OS' on the device. Rooting allows certain root apps to have elevated privileges. If your goal is to have the official Kitkat 4.4 release, you'll have to wait for LG to release it as an update.
What exactly are you looking for in 4.4 other than the version number? LG has done a pretty good job of enhancing the stock Android interface.

Thank you for that explaination.
I am looking for the improved Google Now "OK Google" functionality. Improved Maps functionality, etc. I guess you wouldn't get that from a custom ROM. I do like the UI that LG provides. They did do a great job.
Also would have liked to get the game OFF that my provider put on it (can't uninstall it). They also have some Remote Control app on it that I can't uninstall as well. Guess I'll just wait for an official KitKat update.

The Google Now voice commands are also available on the LG and they also added LGs own voice assistant Called Genie. Try swiping up from the bottom middle of the screen and you'll see LGs voice assistance available to the left. You can select what keyword wakes it up like "LG Mobile" or "Hello Genie".
The new maps are available from the Play store in addition to other new Google functions. They appear to be separating these updated apps into downloadable add-ons that can be installed on most other devices.

I know 4.4 can't turn off Bluetooth in voice commands buy thanks to LG I can on 4.2.2

I've tried that genie function and google now. The genie app is not very functional. Neither is google now. They don't function well, which i thought they improved with kitkat.
Thanks for all the guidence. I appreciate the time you've taken to address my questions. I'll either wait or swap the phone for a nexus.

It won't be much different on a Nexus 5. I own the Nexus 5 as well and I much prefer the G2. Better camera, larger battery, UI, knock on, rear buttons, etc.

Until voice recognition becomes seamless and closer to 100% accurate it will remain mostly a gimmick. It's OK to play with for 10 minutes but currently isn't ready for most user's primary device control (both Siri and GV).

Menu button for older apps

Hi there, is a way for me to pull up the menu button or context menu ?
I have an old app that I need to access the settings with the menu button however I'm dying to figure this out.

Buy an Amazon Fire TV Stick remote and pair it. $15

Such a shame the Newer amazon control with the mic doesn't work..
Quite like using the mic for search.

Really? I read a few places that it did not support the voice and people could not get them to even pair up with the shield.

Thanks very much for clearing it up.

Firetv stick remote - works
1st gen bluetooth firetv remote - does not work.
2nd gen WiFi direct firetv remote - works great. Even the voice search works. (needs to be paired via shield accessories and not bluetooth as it uses WiFi direct)
Hope this helps clear things up.
