Android :: Need Texting App
May 16, 2010
I'm looking at getting a smart phone, but I have a couple questions about Android apps. Specifically, is there an app that lets me send texts via data? Verizon makes me buy a data plan, and if I want unlimited texting, its a different plan. So I end up paying for unlimited texting, AND data. If I can get away without spending the extra 20 a month and just using an app, I'd do that. Anyways, sorry if this question has been answered, I searched and didn't see anything.

I have a question. What spy apps can someone put on their phone and then type in the number they want to spy on to get a copy of the text messages they send and receive? I ask because a friend of mine just called from their work number saying their baby daddy just sent her a text message, she sent to someone else followed by a text asking how long she has been talking to him. LOLL I'm not on that type of stuff but dang that is funny to me. She said he hasn't installed anything on her phone cause she has her phone pattern locked (however you can see the pattern when you look at her phone). But I was wonder does anyone know of a program you can put on and Evo phone that would allow you to do this.

I am a t-mobil customer and would love to get a G1. The only negative that I can see is that you can not text one handed from the touch screen. I would love to be able to text from the phone dial screen using intutive text. This would make one handed texting possible like on my Krazer. I love this feature. Having to open the keyboard is a complete bummer. Even an onscreen keyboard wouldn't be as good in my opinion for texting.

I was thinking of eliminating my monthly unlimited texting charge thru verizon to save some money and was wondering if anyone uses any free texting app like textplus of GV for there full time texting. I have used both here and there but not sure how they would do on a daily basis. If anyone does this I would like to know how it does.

I'm running froyo (frf91) on a rooted N1 and am looking for an app that restricts who I can text when I'm drunk or drinking. I've done a fruitless search of the Market to no luck. If possible the specifics I'm looking for would be something like this:
Have a set list of people who I can text when the app is active.
Not allow other texts to people not on the list.
And I know this last one is a long shot, but a randomly generated password to take the app off that gets sent to my e-mail at a certain time.
Does anyone know of an app like this or one that sounds familiar?

Is there a texting app like Google Voice that allows you to receive unlimited texts with your current phone number? I essentially want to use only a data plan for texting and do not want to change my number.

I just published a Hands-Free texting app called Shout. Just say a phrase like "Text Doug With I am On My Way Home" and Shout will search your contacts for matches, confirm "Sending 'I am on my way home' to 'Doug Hansknecht', correct?". Simply tap the Big Green Yes button and you're done.
There's a video demo here:

if anybody knows where to get some really nice icons for texting, using the camera etc. please point me in the right direction. Secondly, if I buy an unlocked N1 and send it to my girl who lives in the UK can she just get a pre-paid sim card and use it? I know the N1 supposedly coming to vodafone at the end of this month, but she doesn't want to be on a contact. She uses vodaphone pre-paid so would the unlocked US N1 work in the UK with a pre-paid vodafone sim card?

I am getting my first Android phone on monday, and I want to alleviate some of my bill with AT&T, so i was thinking of getting just the talk and 2GB of data a month. But I was wondering if anyone knew how the apps like Handscent send their text messages, and if they do. do you know how much data that takes up each time you send / receive a text? I want to make sure I won't go over my 2GB a month (screw them for not having unlimited data anymore)

I am new to texting and wanted to know if it is possible to setup a group text on the android? I am a coach of a soccer team and would like to send out a text message to each member of the team but only do it once rather than send each person one. As I mentioned before I do not use texting often so I am not sure if I can do this.

Looked around and saw some real expensive alternatives, but not really what I'm looking for anyway.
I just want something where I can drive using the phone's GPS, and not have it interrupted by any texts during the trip. Then, after I'm done driving, have the texts arrive on the phone.
I did a few searches and couldn't really find what I was looking for.

Blackberry messenger has the feature of letting the sender of the message to know if the receiver has READ the message or not. Is there a way to do this on an android? Any apps out there for this, or maybe you can do it in stock?

does anyone really use Google Talk for texting, what are the advantages... if there's any. Why would you use the talk (google/Gmail) App instead of the other texting Apps/programs.

I have a weird one. If I send a text on my Motorola Cliq XT, within my preset Advance Task Killer timeout (3 minutes I believe) the phone disconnects from the network and then the SIM needs to be unlocked.
Is there an App that should be running that I need to Add to the Ignore list? It only happens after texting.
Firmware is Android Version 1.5

I have a group of 5 friends whom are trying to stay in contact with each other. Heres the situation:
Me
Android
Free Texting to Verizon
Carrier: Verizon
Dara
Android
Unlimited Texting
Carrier: Verizon
Spader.................
Now theres some interesting groupchat apps out there. I was looking into using BrightKite... My classmates use it during boring lectures in gradschool. But the problem with BrightKite is that Empty (that is his nickname) does not have free texting to any carrier but verizon, and BrightKite's groupchat # is not verizon. I am in a similar situation, but since I have an android phone I can access the groupchat via that and I don't need to use up my texts.............

Here go my top 10 problems with DROID.
1) EMAIL no empty the trash? I have over 1000 emails in the trash and I cant empty them.
2) EMAIL You can EASILY open an email trying to check it.
3) EMAIL No way to create filters to separate emails and create JUNK filters.
4) EMAIL You can easily open an email trying to scroll. Seems like we need a safe area on the left or right so we can scroll without opening the email.
5) Text Messaging. You cant copy a sent message or a portion of it? This doesn't seem possible and is very irritating. I cant forward a message either.
6) Text Messaging something read a text message for me? Like a text to voice reader? This can help with all the driving rules.
7) Text Messaging An automatic reply that can be turned off or on to inform users you are on the road.
8) Video Player. I like to play movies but have often noticed audio drift on several
videos. SO the video player needs a way to delay or advance audio to match the video like VLC has.
9) Video Player ZOOM I need custom zoom sizes so I can play video and resize them to FIT the video window irrespective of the aspect ratio. The screen it too small to care.
I want to digitize my video at 320x480 and zoom it up why not so I can get more video on my phone.
10) WEB Browser Last complaint for today.. FLASH WHERE THE $^$%#& is the FLASH support that was promised by Adobe?
11) WEB Browser Shouldn't you be able to copy text from a web page to use in a search?
WHY cant I view pages without being classified into special class?
I love the phone but it really lags from where I expected it to be at this point. With so many developers maybe its hard to find the good stuff?

I'm planning on buying a sony ericcson xperia x10 mini pro but I don't like the blueish UI I saw video of it running ADW Launcher and that looked great but, Does using a different launcher also change the UI in the texting/emailing screens? , I want to have homescreens like ADW Launcher and the texting/emailing UI should look like pure android or ADW style.
When I think about the word "launcher" it isn't clear, does it modify only the home screens or the entire UI of the android operating system

I have a group that I text to, a sports team, but two of my contacts in the group don't get my messages. They bounce back to me because they are sending to their land phones! Obviously there are multiple phone numbers for these contacts, and the first time this happened I went into the contacts to set the mobile number as default - but that makes no difference. Google Android still tries to send them to the landlines! My phone uses ICS.

I am looking for a texting app that allows received text messages to be unlimited in length, without getting broken up into segments. Other improvements would be fine, but this is the one feature I am most interested in.

When I text "unplugged" (power cord) the touch screen is normal, responsive, and usable. When I text "plugged" in, the screen acts like there is a "force field" on top of it, in other words I have to put more pressure on the screen to be able to use the on screen keyboard. Haven't noticed it on surfing or doing other things, just the on screen keyboard. It just started recently and just seems weird. I have the HTC EVO, pretty much standard, normal updates, etc. Haven't updated anything in a couple of weeks, but this just started. Not a show stopper but a little annoying is all.

Anyone doing Voice to SMS Texting with Evo? I've been doing this as a trial and am mostly satisfied. I haven't figured out if there's a way to do full control from start to send without touching the phone, but it's definitely close. Still can't do it while driving, but you can easily do it while at a stoplight much faster than typing. If anyone's figured out how to do it completely hands free without using Google Voice, let me know. I'm just using the features native to the phone.
