For the people that uses KiK messenger, I'm sure you've noticed that you don't get heads-up notifications and you can't expand long messages from the notification panel, either.
I'm curious whether anyone has any idea why this is? Why doesn't these features work with KiK when it works with any and every other app? I've tweeted @kik on Twitter and they didn't respond. I asked a developer of one of the modded KiK versions and he didn't answer me and even on a discord group regarding KiK modification and no one bothered to answer me. Is it some sort of secret that no one is allowed to share? Is there some reason so common that everyone knows about it and hence just don't feel like answering it? Because even Google searches doesn't bring up anything. It's like the little family secret that uncle John plays with kids and everyone knows about it, but no one talks about it.

I mean, the app itself is pretty ****ty, sure, but I didn't compare the app to that. I compared the fact that no one seems to be able to tell me why the notifications doesn't work, to that. Sort of like, everyone knows it doesn't work and potentially why it doesn't work, but no one wants to say it.

Hi has anyone got the beta version of this which is supposed to be available or a working version of this or something similar? I went on to their website and put in my email and all it said was thanks for your interest which was useless.
If you're not sure what it is, it's an app that reads out text messages and emails while you're driving. I need something like this as always seem to get texts while I'm in my car.
Thanks
they might just be testing the water asking people to send there email so they can see if it's worth developing for this platform thanks for the share i will also be keeping an eye on this one
Not sure if this has been asked yet, searching didn't give me any results anyway - but apologies if its been asked.
HP Touchpad + HP Pre3 connect and the tablet can be used to read text messages etc along with a few other features
So, I was wondering if anyone has fiddled with trying to get Android to connect to WebOS for SMS/Missed call alerts?
closest thing I can think of right now would be using Phone Portal to connect your Motorola device. It uses WiFi and the browser.
Wish there was a way to do that.
Have you tried DeskSMS? It sends your SMS's to your Gmail.
Might be any good?

Nice one! I think that could be a viable option until someone figures out how to either make an app for android/webos to do it, or something more advanced.
I was just about to post this, theoretically it shouldn't be impossible to achieve although I'm far from an expert in the area (read: not an expert at all). I'd happily donate to any developers which could create a patch for it, as I'm sure would many other touchpad owners.

Yep, I'm expecting a bluetooth app for it.
Must admit i'm annoyed with how restricted the feature is - i mean the car, tv, and pc can all get text alerts from the phone. (Actually that's a lie, the car stopped getting text messages when i went to android)
So i'm sure its doable, its just a matter of getting a dev interested in doing it - unfortunately I wouldn't know where to start.

Hi,
I have been semi interested in this SMS system. Mainly because I like the idea of integrated systems with Facebook perhaps.
What do you guys use? I know there is the stock SMS but i don't know - it just doesn't appeal to me any more
Or more importantly, I would love an SMS system which could put a hidden prefix of *0# at the start of each message (and not show it that I sent it like that when viewing messages) because my network requires this stupid prefix for delivery reports.
Your suggestions would be very much appreciated
Edit: Ok skip about FB integration. Seems FB get annoyed about others using their service but happy to leech other people. Hmm..
I used Handcent SMS since forever, but now for some reason it's no longer available on the market.
I found GOSMS and am actually quite happy. I like it better than Handcent. And the themes are pretty cool, especially Machine City.

Thanks for reply Though I guess more importantly for me is the prefix idea. I don't suppose you know or heard any similar SMS program that would do this? I did add it as a feedback suggestion to these guys. No idea if it would be implemented though.
Did you delete the stock SMS?

I'm also using GO SMS PRO and for me it's awesome, but I don't have very big requirements. For normal user it has got everything, for sure it's better than stock sms app.
E :I'm not sure that an app supports adding prefixes.

I know the title sounds a tad confusing, but that's because what I want to do is kind of confusing.
I want to send a text to a phone number, but have my phone not actually send the text at all, meaning that there would be no chance they would ever receive it, but it would make it look as if I texted them (I know I could edit my text logs with an app or some sort of SMS restore app, but I want to see if there is any way to do this).
All help is much appreciated

hmmm... i see what you mean.... you need a messaging app that has the capability of allowing you to send "duds." ive noticed that if you have multiple messaging apps, sending one with one app shows in the others, so i assume they all use the same database for storing your sent/received messages. so actually, what you need is one that toggles a block for the messages, telling your phone you successfully sent the message while keeping it from leaving the phone. the best way for it to be integrated would be a setup where you hold the search button to toggle the block. this would let you send a message in front of someone, have it injected into your logs, and it not really be sent at all. i dont know of any app like this, but if you are a developer yourself (im not. im on this site because its helpful and i like it.) or if you know one who can do it, it seems like it wouldnt be difficult to make, although root would be a likely necessity.

i think i found one. if youre willing to shell out the 100 pennies for it, maybe this is what youre looking for.

try it within the first 15 mins of getting it, and if youre displeased, go back to the market page and hit refund.

Exactly what I am looking for, is a way to send "dud" messages. Anything or any way to do so would be absolutely beautiful (I only wish I was still a developer. I got to C# and stopped years ago, then never recovered back to my potential).
Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you sir

Late last year I switched from the iPhone to the Galaxy Nexus and really enjoyed using Android but I did have a few issues. Once Jelly Bean was released, almost all my issues were rectified except for two major ones that I couldn't get over and ultimately forced me to switch back to the iPhone when the 5 was released.
First was how poorly HTML email was handled in the GMail app. The emails were almost always blown to absurd proportions which forced me to scroll back and forth just to read it. This morning I was pretty excited to wake up to the news that in version 4.2 of the GMail app, it would incorporate pinch to zoom which should make this a moot point!
The second major issue was the inability to be part of group conversations with my friends & family who almost all use either iPhones or Blackberries. I understand that this feature is not important to a lot of people but the lack of this feature is a deal-breaker for me. I tried using all the replacement SMS apps and they were all clunky, buggy, or both. I also tried getting people to install 3rd party apps like whatsapp or groupme but they never caught on.
I've had the iPhone 5 for about 3 weeks now and to be completely honest, I'm already bored. I want to go back to an Android device and preferably the next Nexus device that will be released at the end of this month (assuming it DOES have LTE which, if lacking, would be another deal-breaker for me in 2012/2013). So does anyone know if Android 4.2 will have group SMS/MMS and if not, is there even an expected time-frame for this feature!?
Based on the amount of stars and replies this issue has received on the Android Code page, I'm sure there are many others who would greatly appreciate this feature finally being included.

Mods-
I probably should have posted this in the Q&A thread. I'll post it there so please feel free to delete this thread. Sorry about that.
The stock text messaging app on my gingerbread Droid 3 supports group SMS, never knew AOSP didn't have this feature yet. If someone sends me a text that went to multiple people I can see everyone it went to and by default any reply I send replies to all.
Every Sense based Rom I've ever used has had the Group MMS / SMS option.

I think you're talking about iMessage? If so, I agree, it seems great.
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
No not talking about iMessage and Sense based ROMs do NOT incorporate this feature (I previously had the HTC One X and it didn't have it). What I mean is that when I get a group text message from people, it comes as an individual message from the sender and I'm not able to reply to everyone in the group. On an iPhone or Blackberry, when you get a group text message, you see all the people in the group and can reply to everyone and it will handle it as a threaded conversation in a chat window. This has nothing to do with iMessage (on iPhone) or BBM (on Blackberry), it's simply a group text message. It's currently the biggest drawback of Android IMO.
Very surprised more iPhone to Android switchers don't find this to be a major hindrance. Based on the lack of replies, I guess I'm in the significant minority and that's why it's not being addressed.

I agree with you. I've been using Handcent SMS as a temporary fix, but I've read that code already exists that adds the functionality to Google's messenger. Now we just wait for someone to bake it into a ROM.
Verizon's stock messenger program handles threaded MMS messaging too, but it's the ugliest program I've ever seen. I don't recommend that eyesore over Handcent.

I've been able to Group message on my EVO LTE (Pre-Defined Groups & Manually added Contacts), I'm not sure what is different.
Haven't used anything else but I'm able to send & recieve on my EVO LTE. Sense 4.1.
Not really solving your problem but Sense in general has had Group SMS.
Messaging>Menu>Group Message
Is there any possibility to integrate SMS`s between two different devices(like a smartphone and a tablet) with different numbers? I loved the possibility to send SMS from my Galaxy Tab 2 but I would like to integrate it with my phone(a Galaxy SII).
I am really surprised as to the lack of fuss over this issue as well. I have two cousins that I constantly wish to group message with for planning purposes, both of whom have iPhones and it drives me completely nuts that I can't do it natively.
I'm in the same boat as well. What the heck Google.
