Messenger - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How do I get my messages from Google messenger from Nexus 6 to my Nexus 6p? Any help is much appreciated. I'm not rooted. Thanks

Find an app on the play store that does it for you, e.g. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore

Does Google backup not do sms if using one of their apps? Seems like they would.

Can anyone recommend a good messaging app please?

Hi, I'm new to the N7 world and I miss my chaton or whatsapp, can anyone recommend a good alternative that works on the N7?
Thank you.
EDIT: I've managed to get chaton installed by extracting the .apk from my s3 and installing it on my N7 !!! And it works a treat!!

I use whatsapp on my N7. Google Talk is a nice alternative I guess.
(I restored whatsapp with titaniummbackup, the appguard way did not work for me anymore)

There are several apps on play store. I tried one of them "multiscreen multitasking THD" (you have to buy it to try it) but soon returned it. Very impressive idea but it could not connect to the Internet with its own browser, so I asked for a refund.

It worked fine as far as the multi window aspect. Quite cool! I just could not connect with its browser. It’s only $2 so you can try and see if you can get it to connect. I wrote to the author but have not heard back yet.

Paranoid Android is currently working on their implementation of multi window, but it uses an overlay concept to do it. IMO this is much cleaner than stacked windows. They also have a notification ticker that works like Facebook chat heads, which is how you launch the overlay apps. It's still in alpha status but it's shipping up to be really good.

[Q] Google now package tracking?

What do I need to do in order for Google now to show cards for packages I have coming in the mail? I use chrome browser on my tablet to check the status of my packages and thought Google now would automatically give me cards for that... But it doesn't. Am I missing something?
Somebody...anybody?

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

I've found a great app for me. NotiSync. The only negative point is, that this app only uses bluetooth. But its great, that i can configure custom apps
If someone have a similar app but per wifi, pls talk to me

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.

Tablet Talk app, plus a bluetooth headset and you can make calls from n7 as well as text.

No Notification for Most Apps

Had anyone had an issue where the N4 just won't give notifications for most apps? The notifications work for SMS and Gmail buy that's about it...
It doesn't matter of I'm on cellular data out Wi-Fi, and am running CM 10.1.0 Stable. Anyone know a solution or a reason for this?
Greatly appreciated

No haven't heard of that or know of a solution.
But as a member of 3 yrs you ought to know that questions go in the Q&A section. Please post your threads there next time.

Have you restored the app data using any apps? If so clear the app data for those apps (like facebook,whatsapp,etc) and relogin.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
As soon as I have less than 500MiB storage avaliable, my n4 begins to act funky, like dropping many notifications. Maybe that's what's happening to you?

Don't use TitaniumBackup to restore app data for apps that requires push notifications. I'd bet that if you clear the app data for all the apps that are suppose to give you notifications, your problem will be solved.
Going forward, try to only restore the apps themselves. Go ahead to restore data for stuff like games. But for apps like Facebook or instant messaging apps, just make the effort to enter your login details.
