[Q] Facebook Messenger SMS integration - Galaxy Ace S5830i General

What is facebook messenger sms integration? Read that it is currently supported on Samsung Galaxy Ace.. although not sure about s5830i.
When i type any number then, press send msg., i get the option to use messenger. Although when I press it, it just opens the messenger.
How does this work?

It's as you've described it. Text messaging can be integrated with your messenger app on your mobile device, and shouldn't store any of your texts externally
An aesthetic thing essentially.

REQUEST: Facebook Messenger

Hey,
Facebook app on WP sucks. Can someone make a proper messenger app with geolocation, support for read receipts etc? Something like iPhone and Android have. I'm sikc and tiered of this current app that wastes space and looks uggly. Push notifactions that work would be also a bonus.
Just an idea. If wished, I would not mind a proper facebook app in genreal aswell but I can handle the lack of that, if messenger app would exist.

I suppose you know that at least on your message you can swipe to online and that's Facebook chat right

Yeah, but "who cares" for chat, we just want an messenger app that iOS and Android have. I really, really miss that feature on my 8X, not only that push notifications does not work, but also, we are not able to send or receive any file/picture via it !

Push Notification does work.... I am not missing any fb chat message however it's lagging couple of seconds.
Microsoft is not a copycat. They are trying to be original and bring something new to the end users.
Everything has to be intergrated in the people hub. Whatsapp is an exception since it uses your phone number to communicate with the other party; so is Tango.
Keep in mind that WP8 was meant to be compatible with Windows 8 where all your contacts are now integrated into your live messenger.
well the facebook app does not always work. most of the time its fine.. but sometimes its just a pain. messages send online are not displayed.
sometimes messages are not displayed at all. some contact i can write messages to and they dont receive all of them..i evne have contact that dont receive any of my messages.
its supposed to support on and offline fb messages.. not sure if that works correctly

If your contact is offline they wont get messages. In all other scenarios, they do receive your messages.
A dedicated Facebook Messenger app is needed because
1. the built in Facebook Chat lacks several important features (most importantly group messages) and is unreliable. Also doesn't show previous messages that weren't sent using the built in chat.
2. the normal Facebook app has several issues when it comes to messages, including annoying error popups and no notificaitions.
There is an app called FIM, I haven't tried it yet.

[Q] Samsung Dialer/SMS functions in JB ROM?

On samsung stock roms (froyo/GB) if you ware in contacts/or mms/or phone you could drag your contact and swipe left for making phone call, and swipe right to send message (or maybe it was the other way). Is there an addon to JB ROM which gives you this kind of functionality?
Somebody suggested to install TW, but it only gave me launcher, and i'm using nova and like it. I really miss this feature in JB/ICS roms.
exDialer app from Play Store has these features. Works fine in JB

Yep, I use exdialer, but it have no integration with sms/mms app. but thx for answer
What do you mean no integration? On exDialer contacts, swiping right will call, and swiping left will send sms to the contact.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
Yes, but on mms apk you can't swipe to make a call, or can you?
No, but tapping on the contact within sms/mms app can allow you to call.
I didn't notice swiping contact within sms/mms will call the contact in GB.

Google Voice Question.

I put my sprint number as my Google voice number. Does the stock messaging app still work? Should I disable it and use Google Voice? What about making calls from the Google Voice icon? Is that possible or do I need to use the normal phone icon?

I'm a Sprint Product Ambassador supporting the launch of the One.
The stock messaging app will reflect what is in your GV inbox. I recommend using the GV app itself wherever possible for the bext experience.
I don't see a dialer in the GV icon, I use GV to make all calls and just use the native dialer.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

This couldn't be further from the truth. I don't know of any advantage to use the GV app on a sprint phone (save for going through old texts that may be gone from phone). The beauty of Sprint and Google Voice is the fact that you can use all the native apps without having to deal with the GV app at all.
Having to wait for the google voice app to load the data from your google voice account via Sprint's data connection is just not efficient. Which also means its not even possible to send a text through the google voice app(or load it) without a data connection. Texts can be sent with no mobile data turned on.
Just setup the Sprint/Google Voice integration in settings at google.com/voice.
To each his own!

I never said it was a requirement. I use GV across multiple devices and have better luck with the GV app for messaging than the native app. You'll have to find out what works best for you.

Advantage to using the GV App: Messaging sync'd across multiple devices/screens. Easy to read conversations on your home PC, etc.
Advantage to using the stock messaging app: The ability to read/write MMS. These aren't directly supported by GV last I looked.

The OP's question was whether the stock messaging client worked and if he should disable it to use google voice. Not whether he could sync his google voice messages across devices and how it looked on his computer.
Using the stock messaging app to send through google voice doesn't change how it looks on his PC and whether his messages sent via stock app show up on his PC. They will always show up through the google voice app or google voice website.
I do agree though there are advantages to both. I use both apps for different purposes. I just find the GUI and notifications of the stock app(and GoSMS popups) to be far more informative than having to load up a program that has to connect to the internet and load before I can read or send a message. To each their own.

My experience was different when using my Epic 4G Touch. Messages that I sent using the stock app there were not sync'd across my google voice account. Only the received messages were shown everywhere. If that experience is different on other devices or I set it up improperly, I apologize. I also can't speak towards any experience with the GoSMS app.
If you initiaite an SMS session first from the GV app and you get a reply (assuming you have it in GV Settings to also receive messages to stock Messaging app), any messages you send and receive henceforth from the stock Messaging app will show up (synced) in the GV app.
I do this all the time. Why? Because the GV app is slow to refresh most times, Sprint's 3G speeds are not that great where i am so i am usually waiting for GV to refresh, and once i've gotten a reply i'm just using regular SMS really over the 1x network and still everything gets synced to my GV account.

Google Voice Text Integration?

I don't use carrier texting (refuse to pay $30 so I have texts disabled). I use Google Voice as my primary number.
Does the Galaxy Gear allow changing the text function to use an app other than stock messaging (i.e. Google Voice).
I would think this could work, since when someone texts you at your google voice number it goes into the regular text on the phone? That should forward to the phone...
I don't think it works. I had my phone originally set up as you suggested but I want getting messages to the watch

You have to go to settings in Google voice on your pc and click on the box to forward google voice messages to your email. Use the stock samsung email app and you will get Google voice messages that way. This is what I do. The only thing is that the Samsung email app doesn't push email as fast as the Gmail app but you can't use the Gmail app on the watch.
