It does work perfectly but it's odd that it's filtered out of the Market. You still have to side load it.

can someone post a 3.1 friendly apk here for us then ?

where are you downloading the apk from??
I just downloaded it to my phone and grabbed it for my xoom.

so your saying google voice installs as long as we sideload it?
This doesn't surprise me, since the issue with Google Voice was the same issue as the Facebook Widget and that works too.
It seems Google relaxed the API a bit with regards to null intents
I just back it up to my drop box.. here's the link if you want to download it

so i thought i would be able to get msg's on my tablet and my phone but when i setup my sprint number with gvoice i stop getting msg's on my phone and only get them on gvoice on the tablet
you can also get apps directly on your xoom by downloading from amazon app store. there's a ton of apps that work fine but missing from the market. and you don't have to go through putting the app on your phone then moving to your xoom, and you will get updates.
Yeah, found this out last week. Unfortunately, push notifications are STILL not enabled (you still have to select a polling interval).

I figured 15mins was the best compromise.
One thing I did was change my Voice Notification E-mail from my default account to my GMail account, which means I at least get instantaneous notifications, but even still that's a hack.
FFS Google- you can't make this whole?!
Confirmed. It works perfectly. Thanks for the heads up.

Umm' stupid question I'm sure but here goes...
If I install the voice from your dropbox does it replace the Google voice on the xoom? As in no more video calls, or does this just add capability to use the calling features? I'm so confused..

So, I 'm looking for a video chat app that works with the Xoom and is cross-platform.
I was able to download Fring, but it FC's. Anyone got anything?

That's kind of the point I want FULL functionality.
I hope that's not it because that'd be sad. Any word on when Google Talk's capabilities will be ported to *all* Google Talk capable devices?
I read that Fring should have a tablet optimized app for honeycomb soon.
Tango is kinda squirrely.... it doesn't seem to want to switch between landscape and portrait like it should

uf, theres a 100 threads about this.
Search for whatsapp, tablet talk, viber threads, theres ongoing discussions going on. However, I think you require an android phone to make them work, but I'm not sure.
Which I why I made this thread...I don't have an android phone.

You can use Desk sms.. its by clockworkmod. I think it will do what your asking.. Google voice will as well. Setup google voice on your desktop computer.. Have your test forworded to your google voice number. Then on your tablet you can send and receive text with google voice.. .Other sms apps will also pick up google voice text...

from what i've read, the possibilities are currently limited. you can receive MMS thru Google Voice if the sender is on Sprint. (it will be viewable in your email). they are working on getting more carriers on-board, maybe someone knows of any other options...?
question about cloud sms, does it work even if your phone is off? my phone's charger usb port is broken and its a pain trying to get it to charge. im still paying of my phone plan.
I have a rooted/rommed wifi-only S1 and my GF has a Blackberry 9780. She is currently overseas for X amount of time and the only way we can talk is by calling each other which is extremely expensive, or using skype which means she has to borrow a friend's laptop or android device. She has service on her phone over there, unsure of what type of plan.
I came up with the idea of using my old BB 8330 and figuring out how to use BBM or something similar on wifi-only, but it turns out that 'ol phone doesn't have wifi on it. It's too bad I sold my last BB some time ago which was an 8530 and had wifi. Oh well.
Anyways, I'm now wondering if there's an app I can use on my S1 that she can also use on her 9780 that would allow us to text and or talk. Something like BBM that doesn't require me to have service or a data plan. I imagine there's at least one app out there that would do this and also be available to BB users.
Thanks.

I read somewhere that it uses your phone number but can't seem to confirm that.
I'm pretty sure we can use KIK but it's text only. I may be getting greedy with wanting text and talk, but having both would be awesome.
Does her phone have a browser? If so, you could use any site like ebuddy to talk. Or even get on something like palringo (dunno if there's a bb version?) but there must be something alike.

She has service and we *think* her data is unlimited. She also has a wireless router at her flat so wifi helps if the data is limited/costly.
We're trying to use apps over our current methods or using something browser based mainly for convenience. Something like whatsapp or KIK would work perfectly from what I understand, but they're text-only. Not a huge problem, but if I can find text+voice that would be great. Skype is normally the answer to that question but her phone, or more specifically her service provider, isn't compatible with skype from what I'm seeing.

I went with Kik for now. It's actually a pretty cool messenger app. Clean and fast.
I haven't yet found anything that covers both messages and voice in app form other than skype which I confirmed is not compatible with her model of phone.

Preferring to stay away from browser since apps are far more convenient and because browsers always run very sluggish on my cappy for some reason.

Looks like the exact app I need and it's compatible with blackberry. Will give it a try. Thanks!
ETA: Looks like Blackberry devices can not use the VoIP feature yet but they say it will be available eventually.
Turns out you need a number for viber and my device is wifi-only. After some research I found that you can use any phone number that can receive SMS because it's for them to send you a registration PIN. I tried both my GV and Heywire numbers and haven't received that text on either one. :\

Is this Google Maps navigation, or some other maps app?
The Note 2's settings let you choose between text-to-speech by Google or by Samsung. Does the Note 3 have those options too? Which option are you using?

Wouldn't it be easier to explain then? I saw that mention of downloading one I would love to know what that is. I searched googleplay and didn't seem to find what I was looking for.
As Gary02468 mentioned, you have to go to the TTS settings in Language and Input. Then click on the settings on the Samsung TTS Engine and then download voice data. I guess in my mind what needed to be done was obvious.

I don't think this is actually solved, at least not what op was asking for. OP was wanting the original Google TTS that is excluded from the phone's firmware for some reason. The fix that you see above was addressing someone else's issue not being able to download the high quality version of samsung's tts engine.
Yea I hope theres a way to add google's tts in the near future as well.

I am the OP and what I really wanted was to get rid of the terrible, robotic sounding voice. The Samsung HD voice works great for me so I changed the title to "SOLVED".
