SMS app options

Can anyone recommend a SMS text option app or service that might be on the 7 already I'm missing. Tired of doing the tiny brain thing switching back and forth with the phone. Thanks!

? Tablet Talk?

I use Google voice and I have it on the phone too so everything syncs nicely

S beam problem with gs3

Me and a coworker tried sending photos back n forth and I was able to send him a photo but when he tried to send me one my phone just went to the market place and said it couldn't find anything. Both our devices have NFC and s beam on. It makes a noise and vibrates when we pit them back to back bit I just can't receive anything. Anyone know? Thanks

Why does it have the option to turn it on and off?

Sorry bro, S-Beam is a Samsung only application.

It's called Android Beam on this device.

I believe it's due to the different gallery apps used.

I went through this same thing with my friend's Note 2. I had to put my N4 a bit higher on the back of the Note, so that the lower half of my N4 was touching the upper half of his phone. Worked beautifully once we did that. When we first tried we couldn't get it to send anything, it would just vibrate and nothing would happen.
Give that a try, hope it helps.

S-Beam is only a touchwiz feature like Wi-Fi direct. Its different from NFC. It won't work on stock android, only NFC

It's a different feature, S-Beam is Samsung only and Android Beam is stock android only. So you can not connect the devices to each other - that's like trying to plug MicroUSB to a USB port. Might do the same, but don't mix.

Than you!!!

I turned of s-beam on my S3 and was able to send files to my N4.........I did not try the other way.

I have both received from and sent a file to different GS3's. One had S-beam on, the other did not. I assumed it auto-detected.

My n4 works both way with my coworkers note2.

The S3 has S-Beam AND Android beam. S-Beam being on or off has nothing to Dow tub Android Beam.

Wifi-direct is not Samsung only. It is available on Nexus 4 and there are a lot apps using it to transfer files between different branded phones.
It is even available on laptops.

Sync Music with Nexus 4 like iTunes?

I don't know if this is possible but,
can I Sync Music with Nexus 4 like one can do with their iPhone and iTunes?
I would prefer it to be wireless sync

Play music from the app store, and download Google music manger on PC or use play music chrome browser app. It is goggles cloud based music service

Oh I bought Wifi Explorer Pro instead. More convienent. And only a buck

Double twist also syncs with iTunes. The free version needs to be plugged into your computer, but the paid version can sync over Wi-Fi.

Winamp can do wireless sync. You need Winamp both on desktop and phone.

But does it work with nexus? I know AirSync for DoubleTwist works great, because I am using it... On the other hand USB probably doesnt work with nexus phones, does it?

Don't infect pure android with icrap stuff.

I like Google play music especially when I realized there was an equalizer . Works great.

Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

no clue.. did not think it should use the same or sometimes more battery than slacker?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

your slacker radio is 23%, so your mediaserver is completely ok. usually, mediaserver will use more than the actual music app.

thanks.. just wanted to be sure that there was no issue.

[REQUEST] FB Messenger floating head style notifications for SMS

Specifically something that emulates the ability to 'open' a head and reply without entering the app.
I've had Floating Notifications for a little bit on my phone and it's just not what I'm looking for. I also used to use SMS Popup years ago which was quite good but I'd rather something less obtrusive that lets me chose when to see the popup rather than it just appearing and interrupting whatever I'm doing.
Is there anything out there like this? I'm sure I head of something when they first added it to FB Messenger but I can't seem to find anything.
EDIT: I've just installed SMS Extension but I'm not sure it's what I'm looking for.
