ROM vs Stock? + Pairing With Phone - Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General

I'm new to tablets and I'm sweating out a decision between the Note 8.0 and the LG G Pad 8.3. I'd like to get some feedback on the ROMs available for the tablet. Mainly, I'd like to know if all the S-pen and multi window functions work as well as they do in the stock ROM. Also, one feature I really like in the G Pad is the Q-pair. It syncs with your phone via bluetooth and lets you reply to texts or see incoming calls. Is there anything like this on the Note or in any of the ROMs available? Thanks in advance.

You can do the pairing with any tab and phone to text and make calls with apps like tabletalk

Possible to sms/mms and make call from the 3G version SOLVED

I try asking here, because I find different answers around. Is it possible to use sms or mms straight out of the box?

No one in this forum got the 3G version and can tell me before I order

Thanks a lot - I will go for the 3G then.

i have the wifi version and when I go to the Google voice webpage I can send text from mind I tested it yesterday.
I use Textplus on my wifi 10.1, it does sms and mms through wifi and it's free
Sent from my GT-P7510 using XDA Premium App
Ive got the 10.1v which comes with 3g and we definately dont have send sms/mms capabilities straight out of the box. not sure how other people are able to have it.
I also havent found another app that gives the tablet that option to send sms/mms on its own, but will have a look at this textplus app mentioned above.
You could use the textab program ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133277 ) but this app relies on your phone being connected to the device and uses the phones sms send receive function, merely displaying the messages on the tab and allowing you to send a message through the tablet.
and we are unable to make calls either, no dialer program, and havent really looked but dont think there would be one that would be honeycomb compatible for download from the market.
This i was afraid of! I have seen some sales spec. say can sent sms/mms. I have a wifi us version now, and i not find textplus etc not really that great.
I want to be able to text sms direct from the 3g - otherwise the model is useless for me.

Keep in mind that the 10.1v is a somewhat older device than the 10.1 - so there may be features in the (brand new, just hitting the market) 10.1 3G not present in the older (available in some other countries for at least some time) 10.1v 3G.
someone can confirm if the 10.1 3g is able to sms??
I asked 5 shops now - and got different answers!!

This is what the sales-ad. says:
" Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 3G*brings you the new and creative means, which comes with novel assortment of the straightforward messaging features like SMS, MMS, Email, Push Email and IM. These messaging options are simple, instant and elaborative to covey you, your ideas and messages."
But asking the shop direct - they dont know

Thanks for the info, but I NOT interested in any web solutions. I just want to know if the 3g version can or can not sent sms - out of the box.
I quess nobody actually know it - even Samsung seems to be in doubt LOL

i've got the 10.1v. it definetly can't send sms out of the box. there's no such sms-app on the tablet. i guess it's the same with the 10.1
but installing an app like chompsms should enable the 3g tablets to send sms through their sim-card, not a web-service. (did not test that, because i don't need sms functionality on my tablet. for this i use my mobil )
i know chompsms and thats a greart app. I used it on my phone before.
If chomp is working on the tab - i can live with it - as it have far more features.
Thanks. . .

[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

Connecting a galaxy nexus to a 7

Hello. I got my hands on one of these tablets yesterday and I really love it. However I have a galaxy nexus as well. When I'm using my tablet and I get a text message, I would like to respond from my tablet. The blackberry platform does this with their blackberry bridge. Is there something like this that would work with android? Or would I have to replace the stock messaging application with some third party cloud messaging app? Thank you
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Try cloud sms...I've been following its development here on xda. It's in the play store for 99 cents you install it on both devices, then you can use your stock messaging app on your phone just like normal. You use the cloud sms app on your tab and all messages will sync. It works perfectly and sounds like it does exactly what you're looking for.

I've used air droid to do this, but its not native (you connect using the browser). I'm sure there's some third party app out there to do it.
Tabletsms/desksms by koush is fantastic. I've been using it for a couple months now and I love it

Mighty Text is working on one, I believe. They have an extension for the chrome browser on your PC, which I use often. So hopefully it will get done for the tablets. But you can still use it through a browser on the tablet.
Tablet talk seems pretty good. You can use it over WiFi or directly with bluetooth.
I am using tablet talk. It lets you answer phone calls, too. I have my N7 mounted in my car to play podcasts. It & my GNex are bluetooth-connected to the car's head unit. When the phone rings the caller ID info comes up on my N7 & I can answer it. It also does texts, too. I don't do that while driving
I found an app called dinamotxt that seems to be working. Sketchy at times, I think I will purchase tablet talk, mainly because I have Bluetooth everywhere, and I don't necessarily have WiFi. Thanks to everyone for the suggestions

Also thought I should share my nifty sms app I have been using.
It's called ninja sms and I got it for 1$ at the play store and I love it. Should check it out of you text quite a bit and don't want to continuously change between apps. It allows the sms to come up on the screen. Kind of like multi boxing on the s3

My lcuid 2 has that ability where the text will pop up and allow me to respond, delete or view without leaving the app. It is a super awesome feature.
Yeah I wish my dna had it stock but ninja sms is good for me.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
Does ninja have a character count? My pop-up has a character limit, if I go into the native messaging app I can type as much as I want and it will break it into multiple messages, the pop up only allows for a single message response. I haven't decided if I like that or not. I guess it really depends on I can use that to tweet.
When I text I can send more than 120 characters and on my screen it only sends as one message. You could try it out and always refund if you don't like it.

Yeah just took a look at it and sent a large message and it sent as one huge message and didn't split into different messages. You can view a text that is more than 160 characters as long as it was sent as one big message. I don't believe it has a limit. As far as I can tell it doesn't split it up.

So I really like the way ubuntu looks. Since my dna is locked and I have no access to unlock or root the phone via software method all I can do is jtag, however I'm not going to do that so I can't flash anything. Since I love the way ubuntu looks I decided to theme my phone after it using a launcher and a ton of custom widgets. Here is what I came up with.

It's available on the backend, but you've got to actually run apps that support the new features (it's all part of GCM if you want to look it up, replacing C2DM). Even Google's offerings using GCM though (Hangouts, looking at you!) are really...weird about it.
For text messages try Mighty Text. Just install it on both your android phone and the nexus 7

Agree, Mightytext developer's really made my day a lot easier! Getting notified of SMS, MMS & calls that's incoming. Sure lot's of Apps gives the simular functions, but the great thing about MT is that you could have a tab running in your browser and get notified on the computer also, and that you can answer/create msg directly from N7 or webbrowser. Smooth is that it runs on your 3G/4G, so you'll not have to use bluetooth or wifi and flipping it on and off etc. Sure if you wanna use the wifi @ home on your phone, MT will of course use that route. Probably the most beloved product for me, because having long conversation over SMS is just dumb. When you have a keyboard that makes me input data that much faster, but not everyone is thinking like me Glad that's not the case though! hehe..
Best regards,
H.
