5 mins of using

- could use a delivery report? to make sure that the SMS has been sent successfully or not (on the tablet) .. just a tick on the message to indicate that the message has been sent successfully (if not than a cross maybe, and a retry to send to option)

- option for the phone to remove the message "unread indicator" if it has been sent to the tablet (i received 2 messages, i replied them with my tab, but my phone shows "there are 2 unread messages"

- I sent to a number without country code, i got a message from the same phone number (but the country code was there) but TexTab treated them like separate conversations (although they are the same number, but one is without the country code and one is with), not a big deal, but thought i report this.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
Happy to hear that its working.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
I'm adding this to future development.

This was requested earlier. I'll be looking into it at some point, but as I said to the previous poster, messing around with anything in your phones SMS history is unsupported and can cause problems with some phones, and also might not work indefinitely. I realize putting sent messages into your phones sms history is already in TexTab and falls into this category, but I felt it was a crucial feature.

What format is the phone number in? I wrote the app to deal with North American phone numbers, but I wasn't sure how it would respond to other types. Any more details you can give me would help!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] mchimney:
That's great to hear. App is working flawlessly, now i don't need to have both devices in bed with me.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] jakmayhopher:
One future suggestion if possible, the ability to send photos from your Tab through the app, to the phone, would be amazing.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] gaijin2:
Hello,

Great app, i'll pay for that (I'm using a Transformer, so sending SMS with a real keyboard is great).

It would be appreciate if synchronisation of the SMS on the phone with the Tablet (for example the first time) is possible in order to get history.

By the way, great job, and continue !

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
Do you mean like an MMS message?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
Have you experienced the bug listed on the front page regarding a crash when attaching or removing the keyboard dock?

This has already been suggested and is being investigated.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] irkan:
I live in Oman (all neighboring countries use the same format as well), .. format is +968XXXXXXXX

968 = Country code

XXXXXXXX = Phone number (could be more or less depending on the country).

and +1 for the request of retrieving previous Conversations.

and if done, please leave an option to import XX messages per conversation, not all (e.g. only last 5 messages from the conversation) ... because i have hundreds of SMS per conversations, the only ones am interested in is the latest couple of messages (and i think others agree? :) )

thanx for the great app!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] HJ200:
Thanks! Works perfect on my HTC Flyer and HTC HD2 (w/ Android)! It would be great if the app can be themed, to make it more look like the native HTC Messaging app for example. Let me know if you need any help with a HTC theme.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] sgioskos:
BOOYA

Just got it working. Brilliant even at this stage. Is group texting possble at the moment?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] sgioskos:
Widget

Using an Acer Iconia A500 and HTC Desire.

When the widget says On and Not Connected, is touching the widget meant to then turn it off?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] eagleofdeath13:
Is it possible to make it usable with an SMS app (like Hancent or GoSMS) ?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] DilbertZG:
FC on my Flyer when I go to Settings -> Autoconnect to... (process com.howettl.textab)

On Desire it works...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] eagleofdeath13:
It's because you never have connected your flyer to your phone on the BlueTooth options (on the android parameters) When the list of previously connected item is empty the apply force close
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] jakmayhopher:
Yes. lol the 'word' MMS for some reason escaped my mind last night.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] sabor504:
Will the iPhone work with this? If not,are u planning on it? Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] MattSkeet:
How do you exit this app?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Cjizzy:
Im impressed

I just had to commend your work friend, I am really enjoying this app on my Xoom and I'm sure the rest of the android tab nation will too.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
Thanks for pointing this out I wasn't aware of this issue.

Edit: Fixed in the next version.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
I would like to thank everyone for their comments so far. The app is improving in many ways I never would have thought about without extra input. I'm not sure what happened to cause such a huge jump in downloads in the last 24 hours (does anybody else know?) but its now at the point where I will be unable to respond to every comment. Rest assured though, I will be checking this topic several times a day and I will read every comment. I take all suggestions seriously.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
Disable it either in settings or by tapping the app icon on the widget.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
Touching the icon, yes. Touching the text will launch the app. The widget is not perfect a needs a bit of work but it does the trick for now.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] matthenry87:
I know why. Your app has been featured on the XDA portal. After some thinking I think I am going to try your app. I could just compose all new texts using the GV app and respond to all texts using your app. This is the same setup I use on my phone.

OP, any plans to support Google voice texting?

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] th0r615:
Fantastic app! I have a few suggestions though(not sure if they've been suggested yet or not)

I'd like an option to turn off the constant notification icon, I don't like anything constantly being on in my notifications (its a small peeve). Something like:

Enable Notifications:

- Always / When TextTab is enabled

- Only on new messages (new SMS received & SMS failed to send)

- Never

And maybe some way to pull the old texts from the phone. Like if I'm sending SMS messages with the phone and then I get home and continue the conversation with my tablet, I'd like to be able to scroll up and read texts that were sent with the phone.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] cruzzmz:
tried on my SGS2 and xoom ... the app make my xoom to freeze after opening the app. After reboot, i can pair but both devices become slow and sometimes unresponsive

just my feedback for a great app

one more thing the contact is pull from the phone or u need to save it on the tab??? seems i cant find any of my contacts
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] matthenry87:
Liking it so far.. one suggestion: ability to click links in text messages. As well as the ability to long press to save a number or copy message text.

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] matthenry87:
I seem to have found a bug. I often tether my tab to my sgs4g. While textab is running my download speeds go below .5 mbps and my apps refuse to load anything to do with data (YouTube etc). When I disable textab and my data speeds go back to normal. When I am not tethered using texttab, it still seems to affect my download speed but not as much.

I'm thinking this might have to do with both of the devices using wifi and Bluetooth at the same time? Do they use the same antenna?

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] gaijin2:
OK, no problem.

I also have something wrong with the display, I've send an SMS and on the left panel, I got the contact name and phone number (normal), but also in the main pane (juste above the thread list)...

Also, if we need wifi in order to select a contact it could not be usable... I'm waiting for the next release :)

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
I'm unable to reproduce this scenario. Is there anybody else who is experiencing this problem?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] hardergm:
Thanks for work on Textab

First, thanks for your work on Textab.

Pending the ability to choose from a number of phone numbers for a contact to send a text, how do you determine which number is picked up?

Alternatively, wouldn't it best to select a number that is SMS capable. At the moment it seems to use the first number found rather than saying using the first mobile number found.

Cheers

Geoff
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] baseballfanz:
I have an Asus Transformer running Prime 1.5 and a Nexus One Running CM7.1

Work if i send a new sms from the tablet but incoming only goes to the phone,

is that how it work or is the incoming sms suppose to sync with the tablet also?

Thanks for the work

EDIT:App force closed when i get incoming message that's why my tablet don't get incoming
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] mikedmor:
i dont post often but i just downloaded your app and it is amazing! works exactly how it should be. as a suggestions could you add calling as well? i would definatly pay $5 for an app that let me call and text like your app works for texting. Exactly what i have been looking for!

Thanks!

Edit:

Just wanted to add im using it with my moto xoom and droid1. works perfectly.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] jvs60:
Same here. App force closes on my 10.1 when I get an incoming SMS from my evo 3D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
Have you set the device type in the settings on both devices? Does it happen every time? Are you running a custom rom?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] baseballfanz:
I have device type set in both. Yes to custom rom on both devices
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] th0r615:
It happens to me too on my Thunderbolt (which happens to be running a ported ROM from the EVO 3D). It doesn't happen every time but its usually the 3rd or 4th text after the phone and tablet have been paired.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Neffstarr:
working great on my asus transformer connected to my g2x
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
Is the FC happening on your phone or your tablet?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] BartJJ:
Much better than syncsms from the market, requesting a refund from them and saving it for when this app hits the market! Great UI, supports bt (no idea why the syncsms dev refuses to add this), and seems like it will be actively supported. Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] baseballfanz:
FC on the tablet, I get the sms fine on the phone but as soon as it arrive on the phone I see the fc message pop up on the tablet. I can send message just fine from the tablet
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] baseballfanz:
You running a stock rom?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] BiGMERF:
uuuu ooooooo

dl'edthe apk.. one to my sensation (installed fine) and one to my xoom.. via astro

it installed on my xoom but when i opened it my xoom froze.. it is still frozen and the usual hold the power button will not even reset the xoom. it is stuck like that.. im scared

edit: i finally got it restarted and now it works perfect.. go figure? I will report if i discover everything
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
Big update posted. Some notable changes:

- Crashes are now reported by default - if you don't want to report crashes then just disable the checkbox in settings

- Message times might be strange. New messages should show the correct times.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] doublen1:
Pairs with my Inspire 4g but won't connect to it. Great concept and I hope you can get this working 100% I'd pay for this app! And I am a cheapskate!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Jurgen Kluft:
Feature requests

Hi howettl,

Your application is very cool, thumbs up to you man! ;)

I would suggest taking it a couple of steps further, mainly because i am also one of those with a tablet and phone. I have a Xoom Wifi tablet now for 2 weeks and i had been searching and thinking of this kind of app, except with 3 extra additions:

1) Tablet not only shows SMS, but also missed calls and other notifications that happen on the phone.

2) I don't know if this is possible, but whenever the phone receives a call the tablet will show that there is an incoming call. If possible you can pick up the call on the tablet and answer it since tablet has microphone and speakers.

3) Synchronizing contacts

I like to see and use my tablet as an extension of my phone.

Your app clearly shows the things that are possible, keep it up man!

Note: Runs on my Xoom Wifi (MZ606, stock, Android 3.0.1, Chinese version) and pairs/connects with my HTC Desire (Rooted, running Leedroid).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] eagleofdeath13:
I have the same problem (HTC Wildfire & Archos 70IT)

And, excuse me to ask again but, is it possible to use an SMS app (maybe with call form SMSManager from android (very new to the Android dev, but read a book speaking 'bout it). It would be really cool to send the message directly to the layer that treat the correctly. But the problem is maybe for sending (i was thinking of an app like this some times ago ^^))

And +1 for the ability to make/take call from the tablet :D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] jug6ernaut:
Is there an option to force bluetooth/connection off on screen off? If not i would really like this. Also idk if this is possible but suppress text notifications on phone when connected would also be awesome.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] eagleofdeath13:
It's an option to uncheck in you text manager on your phone ;)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] kc7azo:
i have this problem on my Tab if i use the back button to leave the app but if i use the home button it works just fine.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] baseballfanz:
My FC problems is when an incoming text arrive.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] kc7azo:
yeah that's when mine would do it, if i left the app using the back button, but if i just hit the home key text messages don't cause it to FC.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] baseballfanz:
I just downloaded the latest version and so far it's working great.:)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
Glad to hear its working. For everybody experiencing force closes, just make sure you use the reporting tool so I can get a stacktrace. Comments on the form help too so I know the context! The reports I've received so far have already been very helpful.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] eagleofdeath13:
If you need a french translation just call me ;)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] baseballfanz:
i still get a few fc but not like before where it happens all the times.

sent a few trouble reports your way, thanks again.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
The crash reports I have received have been very helpful. I'm focusing on improving stability for the next update and things are coming along nicely.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] commandersafi:
Loving the app. Only problem I'm having (with Transformer and Galaxy S 4G) is when I first connect the two and try to send a message to someone. The first message I send doesn't show up on the phone, but the person does receive it. So far it seems that after I send a message and they reply any following messages sent from the Transformer show up fine on the phone. Just curious if this is happening to others?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] sgioskos:
Yes, the widget is not perfect, can confuse a ipad user. LMAO. Nevertheless a great idea and very useful app even at this stage.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] mistoffelees:
Interesting idea. I will give it a try.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Bama29:
I just gave your app a go on my ASUS Transformer. It works very well. Thank you for a good solution allowing me to just grab the tablet to answer a text and not having to hop up and find another device.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] efabo:
I loved the app but my Galaxy Tab 7inch suffers from performance lag and it becomes unresponsive. will there be any updates to address this issue?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
Are you running the latest version? Does it get slower over time or is there something specific that causes it to slow down?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Skatedawg:
Is there anyway to have it work with the native messaging application? Or maybe get a cooler looking UI when you get function side of it nailed down?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] baseballfanz:
I find that when my Transformer goes to sleep, I loose connection to my N1.

Do you have this problem?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
This is a known bug.

EDIT: It seems that if you leave the app in the foreground (don't press home or back) and turn the screen off or allow it to turn off by itself, the connection is less likely to be lost. I'm working on a fix.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
Once the crashes and remaining bugs are fixed, I will be working on improving the UI.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] antonyfl:
Have you taken a look at the app "SyncSMS" over at the Xoom forum? (also on market). The UI is quite good! Perhaps you could add a theming option when everything has stabilized :D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
I'm aware of SyncSMS. What about the UI do you like? Can you give suggestions for how I could improve TexTab's UI?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
I'm looking for an artist to help design a new icon and some market images. If you are interested please PM me with examples of previous work!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] nickp!:
Great app! It works really well, for the most part.

One suggestion:

In the "Send To" list, filter out people who don't have a phone number, since you can't send text messages to these people, by design.

Aside from that, great app. Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
Thanks for the suggestion.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Jazi:
So here is my problem, my Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Thunderbolt seem to pair fine, but I never see any incoming messages I receive on my tab, but when I send a message it works just fine.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] doublen1:
tried a fresh rom and no go on my Inspire 4G. Any words of wisdom? The bluetooth pairs but will not connect still. I'd love to be able to use this app.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
I've encountered this as well and I am currently working on a fix.

Sorry I didn't respond to your first post. If you've installed a new ROM and it's still not connecting I would suspect either a hardware problem or some sort of interference. What tablet are you using? Anytime I had connection issues in testing they would be resolved by either cycling bluetooth on and off or by unpairing and pairing.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] doublen1:
No problem. I have an ASUS Transformer. Stock rom, no mods on that. The Inspire 4G is currently on a CoreDroid rom, it was on a Cynogenmod rom before but no go on either. Pairs but won't connect. hmm....I've cycled the bluetooth on both devices, connected several times, forgot the connection, reconnected on both devices, etc...nothing.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
Are you using Go SMS by chance? It turns out their newest version has a setting (under "Receive Settings") which is called "Disable other message notification". This caused the received SMS to be "aborted" before it was reaching TexTab to be sent to the tablet. Disabling that setting and restarting your phone should help. If not, I've introduced a fix into the next version of TexTab that should prevent that from affecting it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
I use Cyanogen on my Legend and it connects to my Transformer just fine. Depending how adventurous you're feeling, maybe you could try installing a new version of the bluetooth radio for your phone? Beyond that I'm not sure what I can do to help.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
Another update, with stability improvements. If you continue to see crashes in this version, please make sure error reporting is enabled in the settings so that I can see which bugs are still not fixed.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
Unfortunately without the ongoing notification the app is subject to being killed by the Android OS.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
The contacts are pulled from the cloud, you have to sync your phone contacts with google, and be logged into the same account on your tablet for it to work.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] jakmayhopher:
Hey I just downloaded the newest version just now, but I was having this problem last nigh...I'm using a Acer Iconia Tab a500 and my tablet just got the honeycomb 3.1 update, and now my contacts on the contact side do not have pictures or their names, just their numbers. I was wondering if there is a fix??

EDIT: Okay now only a couple of people have pictures and names, but most of them don't.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] nightfishing:
Working very well with my Inc and my GT 10.1. Keep up the good work!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
Check the "Contacts" app on your tablet to make sure the contacts are still there. My guess is that somehow in the move to 3.1 you lost some contact data OR they simply haven't sync'd with your Google contacts yet.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] jakmayhopher:
Hmmm..well when i check my contacts, they still have their name, pictures, and all of their information.

EDIT: And i just noticed when i start a message, after i've just selected the contact their picture and name appear. its only after i hit send that the picture and name disappear.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
This is strange. I'll look into it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
A FC bug was introduced in yesterdays version so I've put up a new version to fix that before more people were affected.

Also included - minor widget improvements, and TADA! - a proper contact picker. Let me know if it works for everyone.

EDIT: Forgot to add, you can now also long click on a message to get some actions for it: resend a previous outgoing message and copy text to clipboard.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] jakmayhopher:
Thank you. Other than that issue, I LOVE this application. I can't wait til it goes on market. I would even buy it.

EDIT: I just tried a factory reset, and downloaded the app, but that didn't fix either.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] hshah:
This is probably me being silly, but I got my Samsung 10.1 yesterday and installed the application on both phones. The initial pairing had a few issues (reports sent) but it is all connected fine now.

I can send messages from the tablet, but incoming messages don't show up on the tablet. Just in case, I turned that disable option off in Go SMS. What am I doing wrong?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
Make sure you're using the latest version of TexTab.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] hshah:
I am... :confused:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
I'll take another look at it before the next update.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] doublen1:
Thanks, maybe I will give that a shot.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] jakmayhopher:
I had to uninstall this latest version because every time I got connected, I would just lose the connection and without my phone or tablet telling me. So all of my messages got sent to my phone and not my tablet. Hope the next update with fix this, as well as the missing contacts name and pictures issue I am having.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
Sorry to hear that. The kinks are still being worked out.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Admiral Shovel:
I know it's a long shot but any chance that this would work on a non-smartphone?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] howettl:
Sorry... Android phones/tablets only.
