Not receiving texts on Tablet Talk?

First, I have to say that Tablet Talk seems like it's pretty much the greatest thing ever. But for some reason incoming texts do not show up on my Tablet. Outgoing works fine, though. I'm connected by wifi and I have a very good connection. I can't really think of anything that would cause it to not work. I've searched around but found nothing.

I just purchased the app and set it up using Bluetooth and it works perfectly. I just have my n7 tethered to my phone so I haven't figured out how to set it up using WiFi yet. Not sire I can.

I'm getting the same problem, although I have discovered that if you force TT to Sync SMS messages, then fresh messages show up on the tablet. Unfortunately this is not automatic, (as I'm sure it's supposed to be)

The issue is likely that you are using a 3rd party SMS app like Go sms or the like, if so you need to take the option OFF to 'Disable other message notification' or uninstall the third part SMS app and use the stock one.
I am using Go SMS on a Galaxy S2 with my Nexus 7 using tablet talk and it works beauty, but if I hadnt taken that option off I would not recieve texts on my Tablet only sending would work from the tablet.

+1 yup yup... you're exactly right... had the exact same problem! Uninstalled gosms originally and problem solved... but since then I've reinstalled gosms and just turned off'disabled other notifications'... tablet talk is awesome... I'd be lost without it lol I've also tried it on wifi and Bluetooth... no issues either way but wifi will drain your battery quicker

You are on the right track.
I emailed [email protected] and got a quick reply from them.
It seems that my ROM (MIUI) has a bundled Messaging app that has recently had a new option added, called "System mms app priority".
Going into Messaging's menu settings and disabling it fixes my problem.
Thanks.

[Q] Best app for Nexus 7 as phone with GV

So I have decided to pick up a Nexus 7 to use as my primary phone. I will be using a T-Mobile hot spot when mobile, and possibly a spare Android phone to throw in my pocket when the tablet just isn't a possibility. I will of course be using Google Voice with an app for calls and SMS. 99.99% of my phone use is just text or data. I am currently using talkatone free, which seems to work ok except the fact there is no notifications for SMS. I have to open the app and "check sms" just to receive them. I want an app that will show a new message notification in the notifications bar. One that would light up the tablet would be ok as well. I have seen there are some other apps, but I don't want to start buying up apps just to find out they still don't do what I am looking for. Any suggestions?

I use Tablet Talk, its well worth the money.

How does it display new messages?

Just like your phone, a notification with your choice of ringtone, and a messaging interface

Keep in mind that Tablet Talk will use your plans minutes and text messages. It simply syncs your phones texts and phone calls to your tablet. If you want to make phone calls going through GV then I would recommend talkatone. Ive used many of the apps that claim to make calls through your gmail account but all have failed, except talkatone. Yes, there is a slight delay but its not that bad. On other apps the delay would be 1min or more which is totally unacceptable. Stick with talkatone, its free and it works. I have been using it for a while now and have noticed quality and delay improvements as it has been updated.

My problem with Talkatone is that I don't get SMS notifications. I have to open the app and "check SMS" every time before it gives me the new ones. I can't seem to find any option in there that would turn on notifications or auto sync. This is annoying as I have to proactively be checking for messages all the time instead of just being notified.
A friend is running the same app on his iPad and when he gets a new SMS message it plays a ring tone and shows an number in the upper right of the app icon showing he has a new message. Mine does neither. Then again he is on premium, is this possibly only a feature of premium? I just have no desire spending $3-5 on apps just to find out they lack this basic feature which kills them.

Well it's not a premium feature as I went premium and it still suffers from the same issue. I don't THINK it's a setting on the N7 itself, as I receive notification for other apps just fine.

Try to contact the developer

[Q] Auto Forward Text Messages 3G nexus 7

Hi,
I have recently been given a work phone and don't want to carry two phones.
I would like to keep my personal number so will continue that contract. I will set my carrier setting to auto forward calls to my work phone, but I would like a way to auto-forward SMS (text) messages to my work number, or email.
I have a nexus 7 3g and this seems like a good device to use as I can then still make use of my personal phone contract's internet access.
I installed the mms.apk app (thread found else where in this forum) and can now send and receive texts from my Nexus 7. But as it is not with me every day I want an automated way to get SMS messages to another number of email.
Does anyone know of an app which will let me auto forward SMS messages to a different number or to email? I'm happy to pay for the outbound message cost, but the only app I have found which *claims* compatibility is phoneleash and it does not forward anything.
Does anyone have a suggestion for how I can accomplish this?
Thanks
T.

You could just use an app that sends texts to the tablet like Cloud SMS. Then you could turn off the notifications on the phone.

Thanks for the reply, but I think I have not been clear with my request.
I have a personal contract which my friends know the number for.
I want to keep this SIM in my tablet but forward any SMS message sent to my personal number to a work phone, so that I can just carry the work phone.
I have found Auto SMS since my last update, but this is not compatible with the nexus 7. I will see if there is a way to get this app to work.
I will update if I get any further.
T.

have you try mighty text? try that one first
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Thanks for the further replies here.
I don't think mighty text will work, it seems to be a way to read and reply to texts received on your phone, but handled by a tablet or computer as the viewing device.
I need a way to auto forward SMS messages to a different number.
Regards
Tony.

Progress
OK, I installed auto SMS onto my touchpad and then used titanium backup to extract the application.
I've side loaded this onto my nexus 7 and so far my tests have been successful.
The auto forwarded text messages come through as
<0123 123123> Mr FirstName SecondName: Content of message
I can either call the originator back, or switch to a new message and reply back directly via SMS from the work phone.
Thanks
T.

I have the same problem as you, but I can't find auto SMS or extract the application (Nexus 7 is my only Android device).
Can you please share it somehow?
Thanks in advance!
Edit: in meanwhile I found and installed it, works well

this is complete bull...I am beyond pissed...why does group text not work???????????? what app are you using? how does group text work on a stock N4 but not a tricked out G2...can;t wait to root this and de-bloat all the garbage

I'm using textra. Seems to work fine

I'm sure it still works on ATT... Verizon doesn't have the option either, but it still works.

negative. when I try to send a group text it just sends to everyone individually

On the verizon G2 under the stock messaging app it gives u options to send to everyone as a mms or as individual txt messages.

im on at&t and this was my issue before on the Gpro.. now i have the G2, its still the same..
on the stock messaging app i can send group text.. the problem lies when those people reply.
instead of putting their replies on the group text thread, the stock messaging app creates individual threads of each persons' replies..
it sucks but oh well.. guess i have to deal with it or download a different messaging app...

You need to enable it in settings. you also need to remeber that those you are sending to need to either have their phone support it or have it enabled as well. or use and 3rd party app like Go sms, or handcent.
i am using the stock app for now, i have it enabled and it sends groups just fine if they meet above settings...
i sent group to my wife and daughters iphone, works just like it should send and receive as group, but it didnt work to my other kids older androids, until we loaded go sms and enabled group text...

THats the thing. I don't even have that option in my settings

Verified: the ATT version does not have a setting like Verizon...completely bogus. Anyway---just downloaded textra and it seems to be working awesome. It's a new, very lean text app and has the group text option in settings. Tested it twice with and works flawlessly. Doesn't seem to be hitting my battery at all either.

I already went thru the settings and there is nothing there. Only LG has this coz i also had the GPro before and its the same. Send group text and recieve individual replies as new thread.
I had alot of android phones samsung, htc, motorola and i didnt have to download a third party app for receiving group text.

I haven't tried it but if it's VZW related I will not put it on my device, I don't trust them.

I have used it on my PC.
When you first run it, it takes a while to download the last 3 months worth of text messages to/from your account....
...which in itself is scary....

I used it as my primary Texting App because it makes it effortless to sync across to my Tablet, and also allow texting from my Tablet. I don't trust Verizon either, but this is a dang good program. Put it on my spouses phone and tablet as well. Plus, I flash my phone(s) often and this actually syncs all SMS and MMS.

I also figured out today that somehow, this app running on a PC shows when some other parties are typing. I suspect it's when the other party is using the messages app vs. the stock SMS app. The friend that I was chatting with earlier when I spotted this is coming over shortly, so I'll see whether she's using the stock messaging app, or "Verizon Messages".

Thank you for the link. I was unaware that this even existed! Downloading it now to play with it - whoot!

So my friend is using an S5 with the Messages+ app set as default SMS app on her phone. They must've done that from the factory?
I'm willing to bet this is in preparation for the move to VoLTE. (The messges+ app uses the internet to send messages vs. SMS messaging which is carried on the 1x network)
