Ok thanks I'll make some mock contacts with two mobile numbers and look into it.
Not sure if it's everytime, will have to watch for it. Also had a problem today where phone seemed stuck trying to connect, eventually rebooted the phone and it connected fine (manually initiated the connection, app doesn't seem to launch on boot on my phone, not sure if I've missed a setting somewhere.
One thing i would love on this and that the phone should be able to send the message over 3g or 4g and the tablet picks it up over wi-fi so that way some people like me dont like connecting to there wi-fi at home on there phones so maybe it can help them out just a suggestion =]
Was it Bluetooth or Wifi? Do you remember if you tried selecting "Disconnect" while it was connecting? Doing so will (or at least should) cancel the connection attempt. As we speak I am working on the auto-connect and reconnect options. Look for an update later in the day 8/11
Would you be interested in an option for Tablet Talk to automatically launch when the phone and tablet turn on? A related feature I have always considered is for the phone to automatically save text messages when not connected to the tablet. Then, when it connects to your tablet, sync the messages. Would you be interested in this option, too?
This is something that could be implemented after the initial release, if there is strong interest in it.
It was over wifi, did try and disconnect and reconnect on both devices manually. Not sure that I need the app to auto launch in the foreground, but I would love for it to stay running in the background and do so even on startup and auto connect any time both devices are on the same network. Would love for it to sync up all messages upon connection!

uhhmmm.increasing volume on the Xoom still doesnt make the "incoming call" alert any louder....otherwise fab!
+1 for synching all messages. Would be awesome if it worked over 3g as well, but not sure that's even possible

Background sync on the phone when disconnected from the Tablet is working...for the most part. I cannot keep my eyes open any longer, but look for it later on 8/12
Better options for auto-reconnect have been completed in addition to other misc. fixes, too. All of this will be available later today (8/12).
I have made the connection operations better, and fixed a bug where a device would not properly detect a disconnection. Hopefully you will no longer have this issue. I like your idea about auto-connecting when connected to a specific network--it is now on the list of things to do. Thank you
I'll look into it ASAP, thank you for letting me know.
Syncing will be done very soon. The ability to have the phone connect over 3g when the tablet is on a Wifi network could technically be possible; however, at this point in the game I am not so sure it'd be worth the extra work.

The idea that this is even possible is exciting. This feature would allow for people who travel to leave their phone at home and travel abroad and make and receive text messages on their tablet at home rates!
I'm guilty of not trying this yet but, when connecting over wifi is there a passcode to connect tablet to phone? Like in bluetooth? Just thinking about security.
For example if I connect to a public hotspot with my phone and if someone else had this app installed on their tablet, they could potentially find the phone, right? And send texts?

Just installed it on my tablet, but force closes after detecting that it is a tablet. Every time I try and open it, it shows a black screen and then force closes.
I am running:
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 running 3.1
It works fine for my Samsung Galaxy S II though.

tried to connect over blue tooth and ran the setup wizard and it crashed the tablet application but not the phone, restarted the tabled application and wehn i ran the setup wizard it restarted my whole tablet, tried with wi-fi and it would say connecting but would time out, changed the ports and it still wouldn't work. tried bluetooth again and it says connecting but after about 30 seconds on the tablet it changes to disconnected

What version of Android is your tablet on? My A500 works great with my Nexus One running CM. I use HoneyVillain on my tablet.
Okay, new version is ready. See OP for details.
You have raised a very important point. Technically, if two tablets have entered the same phone IP address and both press "connect" at the same time, then there would probably be some sort of race condition and one of the two tablets would connect with the phone. The phone can only be connected to one device at a time.
Now, you may think that this scenario is unlikely. Regardless, there is still the issue of a malicious entity intercepting data being transmitted across the WiFi network. So, for now, I highly recommend using Tablet Talk only on trusted WiFi networks, i.e. your secured home network. I am going to look into implementing an option for encrypting data sent between the devices in WiFi mode. If anyone has suggestions for an encryption algorithm with as little as possible of a toll on performance I am all ears.
Are you running a custom ROM on your Galaxy Tab? I use a stock Galaxy Tab 10.1 with 3.1, and cannot replicate this force close. Hopefully the issue can be resolved...
Haha don't worry, the rent will never be too damn high with this app. BTW, how is the performance on the Archos compared to your Xoom. Is there a noticeable difference?
I am sorry you cannot get it to work, please post here if you still have issues with the newest version I am about to post. I did fixed a bug where in Bluetooth mode, if you select "Connect" on the tablet before selecting it on the phone, then the tablet will time out and not connect.
When using the WiFi connection wizard, can your tablet find your phone's IP address? If not, then the port is probably not open on your network. Check your router's settings and see if any ports are blocked or open.
Could the tablet find your phone's IP address when it was in discoverable mode? You can try an arbitrary port such as 4000 and see if it works. The best would be to check your router's settings to see what options are available.
Bluetooth (hopefully) wasn't connecting due to a bug that is now fixed. If you selected Connect on the tablet before selecting it on the phone, then the devices would not connect and the tablet's connecting attempt would time out. This bug is now fixed. If you still have problems with Bluetooth in this latest version, please let me know.

Excellent app!
Working like a dream on my 7 inch galaxy tab running the latest Overcome ROM connected to my myTouch 1.2 running the latest ginger yoshi via wifi. I'll be sending a donation as soon as I can. Thanks for this!

Aaron,
The new Tablettalk is great, its polished and a cinch to use. I was wondering if Tablettalk will ever incorporate a full, predetermined sync of SMS (eg. Last 3 days) and show not only the texts from Tablettalk but also the ones sent from the mobile as well? Maybe as a paid Pro version in the future. The current Tablettalk is good to go as a lite version(as long as the bugs are ironed out) tho I must admit I see your pro app being an OEM app. Once again great work, but like I mentioned earlier keep the app small so that the Arcos' of this world stand a chance. (it still works great on my Archos 70it with it's ginormous 256Mb RAM coupled with the mighty mouse-esque Moto MB511, in fact no different compared to the Xoom MZ602+XT720 combo)

Nice update so far. What about an option to mute some to all notification on the phone. My tablet notifies when a call comes in so I really don't need it to ring. Once it disconnects all notification should come back to normal.
In the future maybe be able to use the tablet to answer the phone.
Thanks for allowing us to test this awesome app. Good job.

With this latest update so far. My messages get group back to back below the other person. Regardless of time sent.
So if I send a text and they send text the next text I send will show under my other text their next text will show after theirs. Instead of chronological order.

46Tablet Talk is an application for text messaging (SMS) on tablets. It requires that the tablet be connected to an Android phone also running Tablet Talk. When a message is received on the phone, it is forwarded to the tablet. When a message is sent from the tablet, it is forwarded to the phone. The tablet and phone can be connected either via Bluetooth or a Wifi network. Tablet Talk also syncs messages you send and receive on your phone while not connected--when you connect, such messages will sync to the tablet. It has too many additional features to list, including caller ID notifications. Currently, you can mute or ignore incoming calls from the tablet, with more to come.
As of September 6th, Tablet Talk v1.0.0 has been published to the Android Market. However, the hope is that this thread will remain an active place for leaving feedback, requesting features, and releasing test versions with experimental features. As always, all suggestions and feedback are highly appreciated. If you have any questions feel free to ask here or via PM or email. Thanks for looking!
When posting issues, please include the following:
-Tablet: model/OS version and ROM (if not stock)
-Phone: model/OS version and ROM (if not stock)
-If the problem is with Bluetooth, Wifi, or both
Wifi mode: I recommend only using Wifi on trusted, secured networks--e.g. your home network
-------------------
Known issues:
-Not receiving messages? (One of the most emailed and reported "issues":) Are you using a third party SMS app on your phone such as GoSMS or Handcent? If so, please see the FAQ of Tablet Talk's help section for detailed instructions on fixing this problem. It requires a simple and quick change to your third party SMS app's settings. For example:
Handcent: Settings->Application Settings->Default Messaging application: set to "Disable".
Go SMS: Settings->Receive Settings->Disable other message notification: uncheck
After configuring the third party app, please open the Android SMS app that came on your phone. Go into its settings and disable notifications. This step is to prevent double notifications for incoming messages.
-MIUI ROMs: Make sure to allow the app permission to send SMS, otherwise it will crash on the phone whenever you try to send messages. New: disable "System MMS app priority" in MIUI's SMS app, otherwise it will block other SMS apps such as Tablet Talk or Go SMS.
-Infinite DHCP lease time: experiencing seemingly random and/or frequent disconnections when using Wifi? Please see Issue 20461 and Issue 18648 for more information. Huge thanks to Jon for this information!! This may explain some unresolved Wifi connection problems.
-Custom ROMs/kernels: If you experience frequent disconnections with Bluetooth and/or Wifi and are not using stock firmware on your phone and/or tablet, please try a different ROM or stock firmware. There have been numerous cases where users switched to a new ROM and disconnections ceased. If you do not want to deal with the hassle of switching ROMs then just email or PM me and I will take care of you no problem!
-Battery apps: numerous users have found that apps such as Juice Defender or CPU Tuner cause Tablet Talk to disconnect.

Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium3
The next version enhances the caller ID feature... and yes the biggest hurdle is 2.3. I don't want to say too much yet. Once ignoring/muting calls (and ending calls) is stable with 2.3 then the whole package will be there.3Quick update to fix crashes and a few other things! Check OP. Logging will be an option in the next version.
Just so everyone knows, Motempo is a good friend and the one who contacted me back in May to ask if I could make this app. So if you like Tablet Talk, be sure to thank him, too. He has helped test and think of new features from the earliest of versions.
My issue wasn't with the ROM but the application itself
Thank you for helping solve the problem, let me know if this update fixes the FC even when your notifications are set to silent.
Please try the newest version. For Bluetooth, have your devices previously been paired? If not, did you run the connection wizard on the tablet while the phone had discoverable mode enabled?
For WiFi, could your tablet find your phone's IP address when running the setup wizard and the phone was in discoverable mode? If not, then the default port is probably no good. Try 8080 instead (be sure to change the port on both devices)
Also, a general note I forgot to emphasize, for discoverable mode to work in conjunction with the tablet's connection wizard, the phone has to be in the same mode as the tablet.
To be honest, I don't really know. It probably depends if you can ask your router for a client's IP address based upon its MAC address. I'll try to find out.
