[Q] SMS replacement

Any good SMS replacement without ads? I tried Handcent and Chompsms but both have ads and no free-ads version.
Suggestions?
Thanks!

Install Adfree to block adds and you are done.
Personaly I use Handcent. Has a lot conf options.
I use handcent too and didnt see any ads.
I like Handcent too, I think there's only adverts when yo go into the settings menu?
It would be nice to hear of some alternatives though..
4 or 3mb for a sms program I think is to much. I don't care themes and so on, I just want to download the mms' pictures, videos and the ability of send message to multi recipients...
I think I will develop my own sms program...

I fully agre with you. I use Chomp SMS. Its a 5+Mb file consuming about 7-8mb space on installation. Previously I used Handcent which is a bit lower in size- but after upgrade to 2.1 it force closes every time i try to save /add any unknown number (from which an SMS was recd) to my Contacts.
Anyway, will wait for your lightweight SMS/MMS app.

I was started to develop for android devices 2 days ago . The application can send and receive SMS, now I am trying to "call" the contact list to multiple recipes... After that I will start with the MMS support. Once I get this I will release the first beta version.
I am pretty slow coding in java because I have learned it last week, I am a c/c++ developer and I used to hate java

Good news pretty soon. Waiting for your beta release. Meantime I found a lightweight free SMS app (500+kb) in the market. Can have a look if you want. Its called "SMS Composer". The main thing which I liked about it is its Non-threaded conventional type. Messages ordered individually as per date & timewhen they were recd. Its buggy though. Its laggy. Senders' names are not shown in a few SMS from known saved contact numbers. Unknown numbers (from which SMS recd) can't be saved in contact - there is no such option in context menu.

[Q] What do you use the camera for?

I am looking for an app that will work for video conferencing/chat. Any suggestions?
Or even better, is there a way to use the gTab and video-chat with friends on other traditional PC-based IM services like Yahoo, Live, AIM or Skype?
If none of these work? What do you use the camera for?
I really have not found a use for it yet.
FYI, I am using Calkulin ROM 1.1 (very stable and good battery life).
Yahoo Messanger for Android has a plugin for video/audio, but the people that i wanted to test with are never available when i was.

The only thing I use the camera on the gTab for is to read barcodes and/or QR Codes for Market apps so I can fire off downloads/installs of apps directly on the gTab.
I took a couple pictures of my cat, just to make sure the camera was working...

My pictures don't come out nearly as decently as this one. They look okay in the shapshot preview, but then when I open the file they are pixelated beyond belief and look awful. I am running CM7. What settings do you have for your camera?
Thanks for any help you can give.
I really haven't found a use for it. It surely doesn't work well enough to take pictures with.

I think Tango is your best bet since Skype doesn't support video chat on Android....yet

I've used GV to send text on my TP, as far as calling goes, I think GV will connect calls to a phone number that's been previously setup with your account. Have yet to try and ,make calls with GV.

There's an app, available from the market. Widget comes with app.
Is that the GV text app? I thought google would have their own official app.

Well poop. Looks like I am going to have to get around to putting adroid on it. Was going to wait for ics....thanks for the help
I'm using the alpha version of ICS. it's fairly decent with the exception of a few bugs but its my daily driver for my TP given WebOS is greatly limited on good apps.
Its up to you but I recommend giving it a try.

[Q] fix for mms slideshow?

Is there currently a fix so when someone sends text with a mms or more than one photo in a single mms is will show like a single message and not an annoying slideshow?
This has been the one thing I cannot stand about android over other os's.
Most of my friends use iPhones and can't understand why I tell them to send each thing as a separate mms.

And how about viewing the MMS message itself. When I click to view it, it's not even full screen. Is there a way to adjust that?
It's not how it is on Android. It's how it is on TouchWiz.

Multiuser was finally enabled. Great news on that front.
With the update to 4.3 comes App Ops! Now we can restrict individual apps from accessing personal information.
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/app-ops-brings-granular-permissions-control-to-android-4-3/
It is with misfortune that this functionality will be removed if our devices get updated to 4.4.2.
4.3 update install failed
I downloaded and there was a button that said install/restart. Clicked the button it disappeared, but nothing else happened. Didn't install 4.3... restart did nothing. If i try to download system update, it tells me the system is already up to date. I don't see the update file in downloads, could it be somewhere else. Any thoughts?
I understand that on most android devices the update goes on the cache partition (which is only viewable with root).

I got the update...mine is on 4.3.....software version shows 3830_V1.16. The only addition i can see is the multiple user option...OH AND IT BROKE the ability to sync with exchange for emails (using built in email). pain the the ass cause i got this to handle work stuff while lounging around and not having my laptop. Many other users are complaining about this issue but so far i have found nothing for a fix. I like the built in email and hate to have to buy an app just to get my work email now. grrr

I have the same email problem with my Hotmail: 4.2.2 worked flawlessly, but now 4.3 will not connect to Hotmail using the stock client. The workaround solution is to download and use Microsoft's official Outlook app from Google Play. You'll have to use the Outlook client to send and receive mail, but at least your email will start working again.
Hotmail settings that work
