ClockworkMod DesktopSMS: Sending and receiving texts from your XOOM (and desktop)

DesktopSMS forwards all your incoming SMS on your *Android Phone* to your Gmail to GTalk.
You can then reply to the chat request or email, and the response will be sent back from your phone as a text message. This is very similar to Google Voice, except you won't need a new number or anything annoying like that!
http://app.net/desktopsms
Installation:
1) Install DesktopSMS on your ANDROID PHONE. (Not onto your XOOM)
2) Login to Desktop SMS on your ANDROID ****PHONE****.
3) Install a Chat client like Google Talk (which may already be on your XOOM) onto your XOOM or desktop PC.
4) Receive a text. Watch as your text gets converted to an email and google chat message
5) Respond!
So, once again, this app is only installed on your phone. Then just install your favorite IM client on your desktop and tablet, and the rest will work magically!
You do not need to install this on both your phone and tablet like other apps. You do not need to be on the same network like other apps. This all works by magic (my servers).
Let me know what you think. This is in a free beta right now, so be prepared for some bugs! I'd love to hear your feedback.

Wrote you a PM

well, I don't have a smart phone so thats a problem.
I, like many others, have ditched their smartphomes and activated their xooms. I now only have a dummy phone. I didn't see a need in paying for two data plans because I ws rarey using my phone. Now I use it to talk and text.... even though I wish it was only to talk.
I am waiting for the day that I can SMS on my Xoom using my current phone number. Guess I'll jabe to keep waiting. lol

Works awesome...just had a conversation with myself, through gtalk. Hahaha havnt tried it with my xoom yet. But im pretty sure it will work just fine. Very good job

It looks great but I cannot seem to get it to work yet, Mr. Koush. I have it signed it with push notifications successfully on my gmail account on my OG Droid. I can do the test message from within the app and it pops up on my phone like always, but other than that it does nothing on my Xoom, or on anything else for that matter. It seems almost like the push notifications are not even being sent out.
EDIT: I found out what the problem was. I had the default messaging app totally disabled, as I am using Handcent SMS as a complete replacement to the default one. I would like to use Handcent SMS instead of the default one. I know its beta and I cannot wait for updates!

I had that same "issue" so thanks for posting the solution. User error as usual
Is there a way to make the contact name show up or will we need to add these email addresses to our contacts? Thanks and awesome job!

It looks like after you receive your first text from that person after you accepted the "chat invite" on your Gtalk account it syncs up with your current contact list automatically. It shows the phone number on the left side of the screen under your gmail account, but in the chat window it shows that contacts name in parenthesis.
This ofcourse is for if you are using the Xoom with Gtalk, such as myself. I haven't tried anything else yet.

Could it be that the contacts NAME will be in the gtalk LIST instead of phonenumber ?

OK, being a bit thick here.
I'm using GoSMS Pro, but as far as I know, the default messaging app is still active, just without any notifications... does this make a difference?
Not currently receiving any notifications in email or g-talk... :/

Are u signed in in the app? The first time the app froze, i had to go back into it and sign in.
Just tested it with my xoom and it works great.

Looking for a little help, I have the app installed on my HTC desire HD, and it will forward the text to my gmail and talk, but when I reply nothing happens. Am i missing something, I've triedreplying through talk and gmail, and nothing from both.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Peace

*edit* update took care of it, never mind.

@Koush
I am having an issue getting the app to try it out. When I tell the system to send me a link, it does, but it sends me a link for the link request page again. It does not send me a link to the actual app.
EDIT: Nevermind. I figured it out. Shouldn't browse until I had my coffee.

Is it possible that your push servers are blocked in China?
I can correctly Login with Google Account, but get an error on 'registering with push server....' (takes long and eventually times out)
Error message: "Login failed. Please check your password. If the error persists, please send a log to the developer"
here is a log... maybe it helps analyze why i can't connect with the push servers...

Ok, it's just updated, and when I go to send a test SMS, it brings up
The application GoSMS was found installed. If you do not recieve a text message, please verify that it has not disabled SMS notifications in the application's settings.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So that's cool, then I send the test. GoSMS then pops up the text, as it always does.
However, it still doesn't appear to be sending me an email.
When it says "please verify that it has not disabled SMS notifications in the application's settings", does it mean the default Messaging app?
I've tested by disabling the taskbar notification for GoSMS and re-enabling it for the default Messaging app, but even then, there is no sound nor visual cue that an SMS has arrived... is this why it's not working? Has GoSMS broken my default messaging app?

[Q] GMail email push - doesn't always work?

I have 3 Gmail accounts set up in my Int'l Note (with Straight Talk) and I noticed that when somebody sent me an email, most of the time Gmail doesn't not alert me and/or download the email.
I have setup "Background Date" and "Auto Sync" and this issue happen even when I am connected to a Wifi. I.e. not losing data connection via cellular connection.
I have an HTC Thunderbolt with GMail setup EXACTLY the same as my Note and it doesn't have this problem.
Anyone experiencing this issue?

Sometime you need to do this:
go to
Settings/Applications/manage applications/
find Gmail app and then click on it
and clear cache and clear data and it will work....
Sometimes my Note does that
try it
I have note for 5 months and it did it once or twice!

I've noticed this too - also sometimes the inbox show 1 new message in the counter, but I can't see the message...

So far... I haven't came across a situation where my laptop alerts me for a new email but not my Note.
Now when an email comes in, both my laptop and my Note alerts me almost at the same time.

Issues with Android 5.0.1

Hello everyone.
I've updated to 5.0.1 and I've been having issues with updates basically I'm not getting notifications for my Emails or WhatsApp or any other app for that matter, i have to manually go into my apps to get my notifications. For example, once I go to my WhatsApp i get my messages all at the same time (iOS style) and also my emails, I have to go into my mail box to refresh to get my emails. Is this an issue or i'm missing something in the settings?
I searched before starting this thread couldn't find anything.

Sounds like you need to do a factory reset. Always good with an update anyway.

tell me, are you using greenify? i had the same issue for a day, until i found whats causing it. i never greenify my apps with notifications first off. greenify has a setting to keep notifications, when i enabled it i stopped getting any notifications. as soon as i disabled it and rebooted, i got notifications again.

I just did a factory reset and it seems that it has solved the issues so far so good.

Not getting email notifications!

Yesterday I set up my new Moto G5S Plus, and much to my dismay I am not getting any email notifications.
I have three email accounts: Gmail, Comcast and Yahoo. Unlike my previous phones, I had to set up all the accounts through Gmail.
This is my fourth smartphone, so it's not like I don't know what I am doing. I have gone through every menu and enabled every notification. I noticed that the quickest time to synch email is every 15 minutes, so I installed PNF No-root, which allowed me to shorten the time to every 5 minutes. This app worked very well on a previous phone. But it didn't help on my Moto G5S Plus.
If anyone who has this phone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate them.

Can you be more specific? Are you not getting any new email, not getting any notification that you have a new email, or not getting the notification sound when you get a new email? You can also try another email client, like K9 mail, and see if that makes a difference.

I have done several tests, emailing to and from my computer to my three email accounts. I don't get any sound or visual notifications on my Moto G5S Plus. However, I do get sound and visual notifications within minutes on my Honor 5X phone.
The email does eventually show up in the email app on my Moto, but I have to swipe down (refresh) on the screen for them to appear.
I don't want to switch to a different email client since my phone should work the way it is set up. The fact that I was the first person to post this problem with the Moto G5S Plus leads me to believe that everybody else's phones are working properly.
Note: I have also accessed the hidden System UI Tuner, and set the Power notification controls to Level 5 for my emails, but that hasn't helped either.

It usually happens when the phone is in 'Power Saving' mode. Other than that, I faced this when I added my Outlook email in the Gmail client (or as exchange account - don't exactly remember).
You may also check the 'Sync' settings. Maybe you've unchecked Emails there.
It should work just fine, though. If you don't have much data (or don't have problem backing it up) and/or don't want to mess much, do a factory reset and add the account.

Well, that's why I asked what your specific problem was. I'd say you're not getting the push notifications in a timely manner. And I've had that problem before. When I checked my phone in the morning, it would show no new emails, but if I refreshed a sync, several would show up that should have been received over night. I'm not sure I changed anything but I don't seem to be having the trouble any more. But I've played around with the phone more since I've gotten it and might have tripped over a setting that fixed it unknowingly. Is your Battery saver mode turned on? And again, I'd install K9 mail and load one email service you have into it. You can run more than one email program at a time. Then send an email and see if either mail programs receive it. Then you can uninstall K9. But at least you'd know if it was the email program or something else.

Thanks! I will certainly check it out. I just got off a chat with Moto support, and they had me go into Safe Mode and clear my cache, but that didn't solve the problem. Although I knew it wouldn't.

You were right! I turned off the Power Saving mode and immediately got email notifications -- both sound and visual. Thank you very much! I'm surprised that Motorola support couldn't have told me this.

Power Saving Mode main intention is so you can save some juice to pass the day or give you more time until you can charge it again when your battery reached threshold like 5% or 15%.
It's pointless to turn it on 24/7 unless you're on survival situation where email and such aren't as high priority as battery charge. It's more advisable to use the 'turn on automatically' option.

My pleasure
Those people rarely provide satisfactory answers, if at all! The kind of service they offer questions the very significance of having such a department because they only irritate the customers with the template answers - reboot, safe mode, clear cache and reset. I'll be surprised if they ever provide any other answer for any problem.
In a nutshell, contacting them is as worthy as putting axe on one's own feet, especially when it's a 'Lenovo' brand.
At least for the mobiles and related issues, we have this awesome XDA community.

Thanks for replying. I have been able to get the above and implement it, but i am facing 2 issues -
1) I get the same sound notifications for all my Gmail accounts, i just see my primary account for auto syncing . How to correct this.
2) In speak text, i have written Gmail. Macrodriod repeats/speaks "Gmail" twice or more times.
Please advise. Again, thanks for your help.

Finally switched to Blue mail and everything is almost perfect now, though as per what i read, my information may be compromised.
I am getting instant mails and notifications now, much better than my notifications of gmail on this & other mobile.

Just been having this same issue for months on my Canadian Note 8 and it's been since the June 1 security patch update. Gmail is delayed (seen upwards of a bit more than an hour), Samsung's default Messages app sometimes is delayed as well (but if I have my Gear S3 on the text will come through on that but not my phone which is weird AF) and then a couple authenticator apps that send push notifications also don't come through or are very delayed. It's starting to piss me off and got no help thus far from Samsung. If this isn't fixed soon then it's my last Samsung device I will ever buy.
Forgot to mention, also tried factory reset and still not working (along with now the Messages app is stuck on an older version and won't update so now I can't even use custom notification sounds per thread anymore). Absolutely ridiculous! I know I can sideload the updated version but I shouldn't have to do that, so frustrating!
