It must be a sprint issue then. I would call customer service and complaint about it.

lol. I've had this issue a lot with sprint also. I'm hating the fact that they can't get this network issue resolved fast enough

I've had this problem quite a lot recently. Oddly, it seems to only affect messages coming from one or two certain people on a given day.

Yes, me too. Completely random.

This could be caused by incorrect APN (Access Point Names) setting. Happened to me in the past.
These can be configured via Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names.
Google APN Settings for (Your Service Provider) and check to see if you have the right setup.

Do you use Google Voice? Google Voice has Sprint integration so if you selected that GV will intercept your incoming text messages

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.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

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.

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?

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.

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.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

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?

I use grooveip for calls. Of course, you have to have a data connection. The n7 wifi cannot make cellular calls, it does not have the hardware. The n7 3g cannot make cell calls yet either, but dev work is progressing.

Sure can. It is based on google voice, and uses your google account. You need to do a few things to receive calls, but making calls is good to go.

Nexus 4 wifi calling

I bought a nexus 4 from Google it does not have wifi calling. I use the pre paid minutes plan with t-mobile.
Is it possible to get wifi calling enabled on this phone somehow?
I don't have much of a tower signal at my house in the country.
Thanks
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium

It's not possible right now.

Have you tried talking to Tmobile? I seem to remember someone saying they had a device that plugged into your router but provided a cell signal. I could be wrong though.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

Other nexus devices
With the news that the S4 and HTC One will be sporting Google's vanilla OS, I guess neither of those will be able to use wifi calling either. Seems like a waste.

One would think that t-mobile would want to correct this to gain customers. I do get a strong ATT signal at my home in the country so if I go that route t-mobile not only loose my business but also of my daughter and granddaughter.
Oh with our unlocked phone's it's easy to switch.

On a prepaid plan, tmobiles WiFi calling uses minutes. Get the Vonage app for free outgoing calls over data.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

But no incoming calls which I need. T-mobile goes both ways. There are any number of apps that do out going calls via wifi but not in coming.

Try looking at GrooveIP on the Play store. That's what I'm using and it works. It basically uses your Google Voice account and forwards the calls via data (wifi).
If that doesn't work try Talkatone(?) I've never even looked into that app, but it's just a name I hear mentioned in threads like this. Actually, I think it uses Google Voice to forward the calls too so that might not be a good solution if GrooveIP doesn't work. Anyway, hope you find a solution that works.

For those of you who want the best quality out of your $30 smartphone plan, I made a 12-part video tutorial showing how to do it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9DzN1Pu6-Q&list=PLE_de-PBwrTSUMm-Y48aiOOHt_YyT69t0
It's much better than GrooveIP, Vonage, Talkatone, Pbxes.org, and everything else, especially those with the "one big green button" solution.
This method gives you HD Voice (G.722 codec), bettery battery life, and much better options for logging/blocking/recording. You can even set up hold music. Yup, I said hold music.
It used to be difficult to set up until I made it as clear as the nose on your face in the video tutorial (with actual commentary instead of techno music).
Spread the word if you do it and it works out for you. I believe everyone deserves high quality and limitless VoIP WiFi/4g calling.
