Has anyone seen this in action? I know Samsung is supporting, but do not know if it is in their messaging app yet. I installed Android Messages to see what was up, and got the enhanced messaging update message. I don't know anyone with all the requirements to see if it works. From my understanding you have to have a phone that supports (S8 does), carrier that supports ( Sprint does), and app that supports (Android Messages). Can't wait to see when one of my contacts has all requirements.
Big to do about this in Feb., but little since. Hope this flies!
I am definitely interested in this too. It worked pretty well on my Note 4.
Under Android Messages, mine never passes the screen that says its complete.

Hey guys... long time no see..
Before I start -- I know very little about Android, so be gentle. The last experience I've had hacking a phone was with my HTC TyTN and Kaiser back in 2008, before I switched to an iPhone... I've been an iPhone fanboy for a few years now, and am now looking at Android because the iPhone 4 and my new car's media system don't play well together.
My big question is if anyone in here has any idea if the Atrix can support the Bluetooth MAP Profile? That's the profile that lets another bluetooth device (like a car's media system) send and receive text messages via the phone. Moto's site says 'no' at http://developer.motorola.com/products/atrix-mb860/.
But here's what confuses me: every other Motorola phone running Android (even 2.1) does support it... and all of the phones that have been upgraded to 2.2.1 (including the Droid X) do support it.
How come a newer phone, with a newer version of the OS, doesn't support it?
Any idea if anyone is working to add such support to the Atrix? Is there any chance anyone will release a ROM that can be applied to the Atrix that will support it?
BUMP for this as i am curious just bought a new ford with the MY touch, looking for an android phone that has the MAP profile and will work in canada.
I have ford sync and it functions well, however, whether due to inadequacies in sync or the atrix itself text functions are hit or miss. It does however work well for media applications such as using the using the bluetooth for media such as music playing and all of the steering wheel functions work correctly to pause, forward etc. To be frank, I don't really see the need for text functions through the head unit as apps like vlingo are much more intuitive....
so you couldn't get the texting to work at all through the sync system?
Vlingo is a cool app, but you still need to have your phone in your hand to control it that way
id like to be able to do everything from the car
i wonder why some people are saying they got their Sync system to work with the atrix?

you need 2.3.4 from moto..
I have Android 2.3.4 and I have not been able to get text messaging between Ford Sync and my Motorola Atrix to work. (mb860 w/system version 4.5.91.MB860.ATT.en.US)
Anyone with this setup got it to work?
I think it depends alot on the car model. I have a 2010 Ford Fusion with the nav system (big lcd screen) and after a recent (not the one that may or may not have just come out) Atrix update I am able to receive text messages through the car. Pops up, though I still have to press the screen to read/hear the message. I cannot, or do not know how, to get the car to send anything but the built in reply options. It dulls the effect when you send "I love you. -Sent by Ford Sync". But yes, it works. Also make sure your car's sync OS is updated to the newest version.
As for audio it makes the sound go without a problem, but the controls only seem to work if the application is open and not in the background. Minor annoyance, and there is a few second delay but it works pretty well if you need to shut up a podcast (I love Stitcher).
On another note I just changed from stock moto rom to Cyanogenmod 7 and have lost the SMS abilities entirely it seems. Looking for a way to get that back.
Atrix 4G with bluetooth MAP
I have a Atrix 4G and 2012 Ford Truck with Sync. The 2012 version Sync will read your SMS to you, but wil not send any Text. The Atrix 4G is not listed as having Bluetooth MAP but the Atrix 2 is. And those of you with older Fords, if you have a SyncMyRide account you may be able to upgrade your version of Sync, or your Ford Dealer could do it too.
The Ford web site has a list of compatible phones (in PDF), but I don't remember where I found it. The list is old and many of the newer phones isn't listed, but the Atrix 4G is.
Oh! I had down loaded Go SMS pro on my phone and my truck stopped talking to me. So I had to remove that app.
I'm using multiple android devices, all of them under one phone number (only one plan that includes five separate sim cards). All of the services are available under any individual device, BUT! Text messages (SMS) ONLY arrive at the devices that holds the "primary" or "master" sim card.
What I'd like to have, is the ability to somehow send any arriving messages from the primary device via something (email? im?) that doesn't require them to be in close vicinity (so no wlan/bluetooth). So that it wouldn't matter which device I hold, I'd always receive any incoming text messages and they would be available on all devices. Best would be, if also SENT messages would sync between devices.
Also of note is that the sync should be (almost) instantaneous (as fast as can be achieved via push-gmail or instant messaging). So no scheduled syncs or anything that requires an interval.
Each one of the devices are capable of sending/receiving sms on their own, so no technical barriers exist on that front.
By syncing, I mean that the messages would be available at each device's own "messaging system", NOT just backed up in email or something. (so SMS2Mail of backupsms -style apps are out of the question.)
The devices are running Android 2.2, 2.3, 3.1 and come next year, android 4.0.
I'm going to use:
* Samsung Galaxy Note
* Samsung Galaxy Tab
* Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9
* Samsung Galaxy Gio
* Motorola Defy
I've looked into TotalSMS Control, DeskSMS, Phone Control and various other apps, but they all lack some part of what I need. (DeskSMS looked the most promising, but apparently doesn't work on Honeycomb, at least market doesn't show DeskSMS for my Tab 8.9).
If this exists, please tell me. If it doesn't, I'm willing to pay some.
Note: monthly/yearly fees are not out of the question. The services need not be free, just working
Did you ever find an app that worked for you? I'm in a similar situation and would be interested to hear what you settled on.
No, unfortunately I didn't. I'm currently using Phone Control. I needed to change my primary device from Tab 8.9 to Note to get PC to work (since it required telephony). It is hands down the fastest of what I have tested. Unfortunately it only sends the arriving sms as email to the other devices, there is no way to actually 'sync' anything between the devices.

Hello AnttiV,
I have already posted my setup (somewhat applicable to your case) in this Thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1368228).
To make best use of the app that I use in my setup (mysms) I would slightly modify it. You can install mysms on you main device (which has the SIM card that is marked as primary). Then you can access and write messages from all other smartphones via the mysms mirror app (search for 'mysms mirror' in the play store).
I used the free Web app to text from my iPad until I decided to purchase the app from the App store.
Hope this helps you.
@eileenfj0713:
that's not even remotely usable in this scenario? That's only SMS transfer, not a simultaneous receiving.
However, I've now been using MySMS for about year, and that seems to be the best solution (it's even cross platform! Works from iOS also) available. I heartily recommend MySMS to anyone looking for a solution to this kind of a problem.
Back Story:
My phone was left in my house (shared with other people) yesterday while I was at work. When I got home I was checking missed calls, voicemail etc and I noticed that some text messages were missing. I looked a bit more and it seems that 2 seperate sms message threads had been deleted and a number of contacts had been deleted too. Now, this has happened before to another housemate but we couldn't prove that it had been done. We are pretty sure we know who did it but I need concrete evidence that the phone was accessed.
Phone Specs: Samsung Galaxy S2, rooted, running CM7 latest nightly. I also have Cerebrus installed if that helps.
So my questions are as follows:
1) Is it possible to see what activity was happening on my phone yesterday? I don't have any "logging" software running.
2) Is it possible to retrieve the deleted SMS messages?
I work in IT so am pretty tech savvy, just not in the workings of the Android OS!
All help greatly appreciated.
P.S. I have already been able to restore the contacts that were deleted using the restore functionality in gmail.
The short answer is no. It is, at least in theory, possible to "undelete" stuff, but it isn't usually practical. Even if you did, you wouldn't have "proof" in the legal sense.
That said, I have been involved in a similar situation. Here's the approach we used. It is reasonable to assume that this behavior will continue. Therefore, get some logging software installed. Do NOT talk about it. Do nothing out of the ordinary. Just quietly install some software that will let you see what is going on with your phone. I know there are apps which will email an alert when accessed, snap a pic from the front-facing camera, log SMS to email, remotely lock the phone, etc etc. Based on what you need to accomplish, get these set up and then BE PATIENT. wait a few days (unless you normally leave your phone at home) and leave it again when the person in question might be around.
A pic would be sufficient proof I would think for confronting a roomie. If nothing else log your sms's. I use integrated Google Voice so I'd get an alert on my PC even if I didn't have the phone (very handy, that), but that may not be an option for you.
I also use SeekDroid for remote locking, and I -think- there's a remote camera provision, but it's at a higher paid level than I am subscribed to. At any rate that's my suggestions.
Or, the simple solution: Put a better lock code on your phone.
-JB
A lock code would help prevent the behavior in the future. For catching the vandal red-handed, I believe an app like Gotcha! may do what you need.
Hi,
I am using a Lumia 800 as well as a Lumia 920. What i'd like to know is what options do i have when it comes to google talk clients for Windows Phone 8 and which of them is the best.
On my 800, I am using the 'JiTalk' app. Its working completely fine. However, with wp8 and support for lock screen notifications I was wondering if there is any other better client out there that can support these new features along with standard requirements like push notifications, etc.
Any help is appreciated.
Edit: Being a WP user for quite some time now, I am aware of all alternatives for gtalk like skype, messenger, fb chat integration, etc. So please avoid giving these suggestions. Its just that I have a long list of people on google who I cant shift to any other service so need a solution for it.
Having an Android phone I was in the same boat as you, looking for a good Gtalk client.
I tried gchat but found it to be quite unstable, and often doing weird things. Though based on comments that may be because it's not tested on WP8 yet.
Then I installed IM+ and it's excellent. It supports multiple chat protocols, and it has a very good feature set. It does crash from time to time when opening the full app, but I find the push notifications work well and overall I'm very happy with it. So much so I purchased the full version (the free one is ad suported).
jiTalk works best for me. YMMV

Yup. Sticking to JiTalk. Seems to work fine for me as well. The only issue is at present it support only one account at a time.
I mean a GOOD app, which means it needs to support delivery reports - I need to know the SMS I sent with it has been received.
That is the most crucial function and the lack of it makes the following apps completely useless to me:
- MightyText
- AirDroid
- DeskSMS
I am baffled how their developers can keep them on the market since years without this function.
The only exception is/was EasySMS, but it is very old, slow, no longer developed and it doesn't work on Android 4.4 (and some stock 4.2 roms). It still works on CM-based 4.3 roms, though.
I'm answering my own question here in hope it will help someone else, too.
After 3 years (no joke), I finally found the solution: mySMS. It comes with an sms app for the phone, but you can keep using your old favourite sms app and the remote sms with delivery reports will still work (as long as mysms is installed).
Plus, the phone does not need to be connected to the internet when you're writing the message. It will be sent as soon as the phone goes online. Excellent.
Now, the only thing I am waiting for is delivery time deport, so that I know when exactly the message was received. They are very responsive on their idea/problem/suggestion forum so I am relatively hopeful.
But for now, I am happy with it as it.
Yet I am still surprised this is the only app that does that.
And to all of the zounds of people who for the last two years were being consistently ignored by MightyText developers - here's your solution!
