[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] acoustic-wolf:
New update is working great for me, no slowdown whatsoever using HTC Desire (rooted, running stock (HTC) Froyo) & Galaxy Tab 7" (UK unbranded 3G version, rooted, running Gingerbread 2.2.3 from leaked (Samsung) Italian Rom).

@suleeto not sure why your's slows down. To be honest the only prob I ever had is one update that stopped texts being sent - all fine since then. I agree with you on the layout in portrait mode tho', smaller thumbnails or the ability to turn them off would better.

I use TextTab extensively at work (paid ver), but disable it at home. Looking forward to the wifi addition - any chance that a Tasker plugin could be added at some point? Then I could turn it on or off depending on my location or wifi access point (I'm lazy).

This is one helluva app and is (almost) perfect for my needs. Thanks for developing it and keep up the good work.

I was looking at the BlackBerry PlayBook adv. where they talk about the BB Bridge.

you can make it more interesting by Adding the "Call Information" to the app as well.

This is all possible through BT, which works when you sync the phone to a GPS or other "Speaker Phone" Devices i.e. car stereos

What do you think?

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Suleeto:
Well the obvious major difference here is you're running a flashed custom Gingerbread ROM on your Tab 7, and I'm still running the stock US AT&T Froyo (albeit it's rooted, but otherwise unmolested). That kind of invalidates comparisons.

This is why he needs some kind of error logging to catch what the problem is. I could be running something as innocent as a popular weather widget or the official Facebook widget, or that stock Tab 7'a won't work properly with this app (which would seriously blow for both consumer and developer alike)... it's not enough to just go off of testimonials at this point, we need some kind of error logging...

Perhaps this, but for sure something.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] DroidHam:
Can we get support for receiving pics on tablet when sent to phone?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
This is something that might work well. If you get an incoming call while connected, your tablet displays the caller information?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
MMS support is on the future development list.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
Do you get application not responding errors? If you do then an error report should automatically be generated and visible to me on the market publishing page.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Kasush:
How about going one step further and utilizing the phonebook over bluetooth function and initiating a call from the tablet. Car stereos can do it do I would think you could code it too. :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Suleeto:
No just a sudden massive slowdown.

Like I have been saying it works fine when TexTan is not up :(
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] acoustic-wolf:
I was showing that the hardware itself is supported, but you are right about the ROM :). Unfortunately you can't even guarantee that all stock versions of Froyo are the same. All operators add their own tweaks and apps and any of those could be causing issues with the app. Has anyone else posted who is using the same ver. as you? :confused:

Cheers

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
Does the same thing happen when you get an incoming message or does it appear on your tablet normally?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] xlGmanlx:
Just picked up the full version in the market! this is awesome and i would hope that google would implement something like this for ICS since its a no brainer.

Suggestion:

- Caller ID of call on phone

- Answer phone from Tablet with connected bluetooth?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
Thanks I'm glad you like it! The caller id suggestion has already been implemented and will be in the next version. As for making phone calls, this has been suggested in the past, but is outside the scope of this app. Perhaps another app in the future will implement this functionality.

I hope you don't mind but I linked to this in the Xoom forum

How about a proximity type connection like bump? You could simply connect the two by bringing them close enough to each other, no other action needed?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
Interesting idea!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] guitarguy:
I've been looking for something like this for a few weeks, and this app is absolutely brilliant! I'm still messing around testing the lite version, but methinks I'll be purchasing the full version shortly.

The only suggestion I have for the moment (again, still testing...) is that auto-capitalization doesn't seem to work (I'm one of those crazy anal people that always likes to have proper spelling/grammar/capitalization in my texts...).

Other than that, brilliant app! Thanks from a fellow Canadian!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
Glad you like it! I agree about the auto capitalization, I'll try and get that fixed for the next release.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] brandogg:
Truly awesome app, I was just thinking how cool it would be to text and MMS from my Xoom the other day...and now I know!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] xlGmanlx:
Make sure you get the word out in all the forums on XDA you visit. Let's support the devs
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Marckus78:
very good jobs...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] guitarguy:
I'm still extremely happy with this app, but I did find a little bug that I figured I should bring to your attention:

When I am sending a text from my Xoom, and use the enter key to send it, the next text that I try to enter into the text box doesn't seem to display. I think it is getting typed, because I do get the suggestions above my keyboard, but all I see in the text box is the 'Enter a message...'

It seems to reset itself and work properly after a few minutes.

And on that note, something I'd like to see added to the app would be a setting to use the enter key to send the message, or function as an enter key (I usually prefer to hit send instead of using the enter key, it's actually happened a couple of times already that I hit the enter by mistake and end up sending half a text.)

Hardware: Motorola Xoom, US 3.2 HC, with the newest Tiamat Kernel, HTC Desire running latest LeeDroid rom.

Let me know if you need any clarification or more info!

whats the difference between paid and free? Is it just the donate option?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] glwilliams4:
Vibration

This might have been mentioned but has there been any thought in adding a "vibrate only" setting for alerts? It would be quite convenient for those times that you don't want to sound getting on your nerves. Awesome app! Use it at work all the time ;)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] hshah:
Im having the same issue where what Im typing isn't showing :(

Sent from Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
I've been getting a few reports of this lately. I'm trying to figure out what is common among the reports.

How often does this happen? Are you using the stock Android keyboard or a custom one (like Swype for example)?

I'm not quite sure what you mean by this. Some clarification would be great!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
I had thought about this, but I didn't think there were any tablets that actually supported vibration. What device are you using?

You can always mute the notification sound in the settings.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] guitarguy:
This only seems to happen when I use the 'enter' key instead of the send button. I am using the stock android keyboard. And it appears to work properly again after a few minutes.

And basically what I mean about having a setting is just to have a check box in the settings menu like 'use enter key to send text', where if it is unchecked, only the 'send' button will send it.

Keep up the good work!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] glwilliams4:
I'm using the Galaxy Tab 10.1.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] dseo80:
Sent messages wont sync for SHW-M380S (Korean SGS2), and GT-P7510 Galaxy Tab 10.1 Wifi. It maybe have to do with the proprietary SMS app on the Korean SGS2.

The messages for Titanium Backup are stored in Messsage App (Message U4.00.20...07.16:35.R1-003.) rather than [SMS/MMS/APN] Dialer Storage 2.2 like for other phones.

These two issues may be related?

Will definitely buy this if a fix is possible - awesome app!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Grommish:
one small issue that I see is that on the tab when sending, it takes the time from the tab rather than the phone. Since the tab isn't getting time via ntp this can cause time shift issues.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
Sorry for the lack of responses, I'm in the middle of moving to a new city and starting a new job. I will get back to everyone as soon as I'm able!

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] -viperboy-:
Hey man, awesome app! One problem I'm having is receiving messages on my Transformer. It sends on the EVO 3D just fine but when the phone gets a text, it never forwards it. Tried with the screen off and on from the 3D and same result. I'm using GO SMS, could that be causing it?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
Make sure "disable other message notification" is unchecked in the Go SMS settings.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] -viperboy-:
Thank you, I will test this tomorrow when I have someone to text since almost everyone I know is asleep right now lol can I disable the notifications from the stock messaging app and leave the GO SMS settings unchecked or notifications from the stock messaging app have to be on?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
If you're using Go SMS you should probably have the stock notifications turned off to avoid duplicate notifications anyway. They don't need to be on for TexTab to work. The Go SMS setting I referred to is basically a way to force Go to be the only app to send notifications for incoming messages (including blocking TexTab) which is why it needs to be disabled.

One trick I've used extensively for testing is to send a text message to yourself. Give it a shot!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] -viperboy-:
I did send it it myself and it didn't work last night. Got it working, only thing is that when I look at my phone, even if I responded it the text, GO SMS doesn't think I've read any of them. Just letting you know. Anyway, great app man!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] -viperboy-:
Also, the trial ran out so I bought the full app. It doesn't run, I sent the report. It asks me if I want to enable and I say yes and it pops up with the FC message. I cleared data and that didn't work so I uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times and same error.

EDIT: Rebooted a few times and got it to connect!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
Some people seem to have finicky connectivity issues when they first use the app but they often clear themselves up after a little fiddling. Sorry you were one of them but I'm glad to hear it's working now!

The app does not mark messages as "read" on the phone intentionally due to some conflict of interest issues with other apps that I would like to avoid (similar to the situation with Go SMS blocking notifications for other apps).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Pancake345:
Fantastic app, I just bought and installed. The setup is simple and effective great job.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Scoop24:
Works great...I love the fact that it's almost instant no delay.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] B407:
I am absolutely loving this app! Is there anyways to allow other apps to share links and text? For example, I share tweets and links to articles from my phone all the time with my friends via SMS by using the share button built into news apps and twitter clients. Would be great if I could do the same from my tablet.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] yamwt:
I have GO SMS pro and the stock notif off to avoid duplicate notifications ... wich options did you mean ... sorry but i cannot find that way... so i need to turn ON the stock notifications ? im having the same issue ... cannot get any of my receives sms on my tablet :(!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
Stock notifications can be on or off it doesn't affect TexTab. In go sms, go to menu > settings > receive settings > disable other message notification UNCHECKED.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] hurrpancakes:
Installed the lite version, set it up with my phone and loved it, so I bought the full version.

Does anyone know if there is an app similar to TexTab, but for phone calls (connect to phone and use tablet speaker/mic for calls)? I think that would be sweet.

Keep up the good work!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] KeRaSh:
Bought the app to paly with it and it worked pretty well so far.

I only have a few small issues with the app:

1. The icon in the notification area is annoying and I can't find a way to turn it off.

2. I wish it wouldn't send out a text message when you hit the ENTER button on the keyboard.

3. Having TexTab active on my tablet seems to drain the battery faster than I'd expect it to. I was playing a PSX rom for over an hour while TexTab was active (pretty much right after installing the app) and afterwards checked the battery stats. By the looks of it TexTab actually drained the battery more than the PSX emulator over the same priod of time.

Other than that it's a really cool app.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Suleeto:
Galaxy Tab 7" has vibration option, as do seemly most newer (Froyo and up) devices.

Still waiting for our update, and still having the slow-down problem... I'm going to be stripping off all programs other than factory to eliminate background programs and see what happens.

Unable to Connect Device

Textab was working fin for me on my N1 and Evo View. Not sure at what point it stopped working or why. I reset the bluetooth and the paiing, and reisntalled the app on both devices, no luck. The textab lite had been removed earlier. Any suggestions?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
Do you happen to have tethering enabled on the phone? That seems to prevent connections from happening.

Are you getting the unable to connect error? Also, maybe too obvious, but make sure bluetooth is enabled on both devices.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] noobineer:
I do not have tethering enabled. I don't know about connection error, I just get a message "unable to connect device" on the device with which I innitiate the connection (either one). The Bluetooth IS enabled on both devices, and they have been successfully paired in the Bluetooth setup.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
Make sure both devices are in the same room, or preferably next to each other to be sure they're in range.

Make sure you have the same version running on both devices, and that "Enable TexTab" is checked in the settings page on both devices.

Does your physical location make any difference? You could be getting interference from something else.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] noobineer:
I checked all that and did not succeed.

Then I used the app manager on both devices to delete the app data

This disabled the app on both devices. I re-enabled the app on both devices then used the app on the phone to make the phone discoverable, and used the app on the tablet to make the connection. That worked.

So just because the bt manager shows the devices are paired doesn't mean textab apps will be able to connect.

Thanks for your help.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
Yes, the system bluetooth settings are separate from TexTab's connection settings which is often a source of confusion.

I'm glad its working for you now, and enjoy!

Couldnt get this app to install on either phone or tablet. Just started to install and stopped. Had to refund.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Deadwalk:
i will...

please read: "ah and we found another bug just now. when i want to write a new sms to contactB i have no choice to choose the number to send. so my girlfriend for example have 3 different numbers, and the app want to use the first number of the contact, in this situation its her home number.. no way to send a sms to that one ^^"
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
Yes, I'm aware of the fact that the contact picker only shows one number for each contact. As a temporary fix, if you know the phone number to send to you can type it manually into the phone number field on the bottom left of the screen.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Deadwalk:
Okay. Just wanted to help with the bugsearch :) we will let you know if we found some more.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Deadwalk:
Okay. i think we narrowed it down. we flashed his lg optimus with the same rom as mine. but nothing changed. then we connected his phone to my pad and voila, it works. so the problem lays within the Transformer ROM. iam using the transformer rom from modaco and your app works flawless. hes using the UK 3.1 stock rom with root&superuser but without busybox and Clockwork. maybe thats helping for you to find out whats wrong.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
I've uploaded a new version with some new features as suggested in earlier posts, and a couple bug fixes.

Thanks to everyone who has posted here and keep the feedback coming, it will only make the app better!

Interesting. It would be helpful to know if anybody else running the stock UK 3.1 rom is having this problem. Or if it could be root that is causing the problem. Basically if anybody else has this issue, please post or PM me your specs, or if anybody is running similar software and doesn't have the problem, please let me know. Thanks again!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] xManMythLegend:
Does this require any log in info?

I'm weary of the other app because of privacy concerns ( gmail / dropbox)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
No login info is required. You'll need to be signed in to your Google account on your tablet to display contact names and photos, but that is outside the scope of the app.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] xManMythLegend:
Thank you I will be trying it out.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] cekle:
If possible, could you add an option to mute the phone's notification sound when it receives the initial text?

YOU. ARE. MY. HERO! Thanks :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
It might be possible to mute the sound, but the notifications will still appear. I'll test this as an option.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Deadwalk:
Hey howettl, going to try the new version later this day. but wanted to tell you that my friends and i found out that the app is disconecting alot. the tablet doesnt have to be in sleep like u said to behave like that. it just happens like all 5 to 10 minutes while browsing or playing or whatever. there is no pattern. it just disconnect.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
How much distance is there between the phone and tablet? I see behaviour like that when I'm at the edge of the Bluetooth range. Sometimes when I'm only one room away from the phone.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Deadwalk:
The phones and pads were in the same room at a distance of like 2-4 meters without anything between.

and also there seems to be a problem with the auto reconnect. as soon as you got disconected because you changed the room it wont auto reconnect when you reenter the bluetooth range :/
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
Auto reconnect only works when the service is enabled either from settings or the widget. I'll see if I can work out a way to keep checking for a device to be back in range and reconnect in that situation.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Deadwalk:
That option is enabled and also auto connect on startup is enabled.

my roomate just bite in his pad. he needed -no joke- 8 new installations and 3 bluetooth on/off on his pad and phone until he got those two to communicate over the app again. it appears that you cant reconnect only from one of them. with me its often the pad who is able to reconnect and sometimes my phone. but he always have to double check till he gets a connection.

when i press "connect to ..." on my phone it says "cant connect" when i do the same thing on my pad, it works. sometimes its the other way arround.

he on the other hand have to try it multiple times before its connected. like 3 times on the phone than 2 times on the pad and than one more try on the phone and "yeah, connected"

Edit: dont see my posts as critics, we are just trying to help with your development.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
I don't feel that way. The reason I started this thread is to find these things. I can't fix a bug I don't know about! Sometimes its difficult to fix if I can't reproduce it though.

For the connection problems, whenever I had trouble with this in testing, if I cleared data in manage applications or uninstalled from manage applications this would often fix the problem. It might be an issue with how the auto-reconnect preference is saved.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
Deadwalk, please check your private messages when you have a chance.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] v3rn:
Few suggestions.

First, I would highly recommend trying to go the route where you're using Google sync for this instead of bluetooth. That would also allow us to text message even without the phone near us. From using MightyText, which does this through a Chrome extension and a phone app, it's quick and works very well. This would also probably be easier on battery life and wouldn't have the connections issues with bluetooth.

Second, the UI is decent, but remove the phone number input on the bottom left. Instead create a compose button. The conversation list on the left needs to be made smaller. The left side should look like the conversation list in the default Android messaging app. Mostly, the profile picture needs to be smaller.

Same thing on the top of the conversation thread on the right. There is no need for the large picture and the name, number of the person you are talking to. This takes up way too much of the conversation area when you have the keyboard open. Instead I'd like to see the list of people you have conversations with on the left. Click their name, and then their thread opens up on the right with just the text data. Change the text format to the bubbles used in the stock android messaging app. Or I would just rip off the Google Talk UI and make it dark like yours instead.

And last, the app needs a better icon. I would use something similar to the stock android messaging icon, but maybe make it blue to match honeycomb.

Those are a few suggestions, but loving the app so much right now.
