TexTab (v. 1.1.6) Разработано Lee Howett |
Notes:
- Install the app on both your phone and tablet!
- If you have trouble connecting, turn bluetooth off and on on both devices. If that doesn't work, restart both devices.
- If you don't receive incoming messages on the tablet, and you are running Go SMS, make sure to uncheck "disable other message notification" in the Go SMS settings.
TexTab is an SMS app for Android phones and tablets. It allows you to send and receive SMS messages on your tablet, as if you were sending them from your phone. Once a connection is established between your phone and tablet using bluetooth, you can send messages using TexTab, and received messages will show up on the tablet.
Features:
- Honeycomb optimized, though not required
- Contact information is pulled from your synced Google contacts
- Widget to enable/disable TexTab. Widget also displays connection information
- Notifications for received messages on tablet
Please note the Lite version, which has a limited number of sent messages. Try that first if you'd like to make sure everything works for you before buying!

[2013-07-28] A Google User: LAME Dont expect a refund if you cant get it to work...I should have tried the lite version... |
|
[2013-04-20] A Google User: Works really well! |
|
[2013-04-16] A Google User: Does half what it says for me. It only sends messages from Nexus 7, it won't receive them. Please fix. |
|
[2013-01-11] A Google User: . This app is great! It would be nice if you could fix the timestamp though because it shows the wrong time from when they actually sent the message. Also being able to send and recieve MMS would be nice as well. Other than that it is really good I would definitely recommend it. |
|
[2013-01-03] A Google User: Good Add MMS and I'll give 5 star!!!! |
|
[2013-01-02] A Google User: Excellent app This app is excellent! Only two problems I have are 1.Every time I restart this tablet, the app tries to make me buy it all over again claiming it's unlicensed. 2.No sending MMS >__< |
|
[2012-12-30] A Google User: Fantastic App! I've been using it since it first came out. It solved the problem of my switching from tablet to phone whenever I got a text. |
|
[2012-12-27] A Google User: Tami Never works |
|
[2012-11-25] A Google User: Bad investment I bought the paid version bc so many raved about this app big mistake, onl 2 contacts synced and i never text them. There doesn't seem to be a way to manually add contacts. |
|
[2012-11-21] A Google User: Freezes after Android 4.2 update Used to work great on my Nexus 7 but is now unusable. Please fix! |
|
[2012-11-10] A Google User: Slamming This app is a home run |
|
[2012-11-09] A Google User: Its ok Works like it says however it is missing some key features I wanted. Can not send or receive MMS and no notification if you get one. Also can not sync up with the phones messages. My keyboard also wouldnt auto cap. Dev was frienfly and responded promptly. All in all a decent program. Just not 100% in my book. |
|
[2012-11-08] A Google User: Excelente Muito bom. Faz o que promete |
|
[2012-10-30] A Google User: Great, works well... echo enhancement requests works well, very functional, easy to use. Great if you are traveler. Would love for picture messages to be handled, which are ignored.. not even the text comes across. Also, marking texts as read on the phone would be great if that's possible Another way of saying great job, really like it |
|
[2012-10-18] A Google User: Save your money |
|
[2012-10-17] A Google User: Just Needs a SHARE Option to be perfect Great app, love being able to text from my tablet, just needs the option to have TEXTAB appear on the SHARE list to be perfect. Currently, if you want to share something, like a link, you must copy the link and paste it into textab rather than just choosing the SHARE button from whatever app you are in. When they add TEXTAB to the SHARE list, it will be FIVE stars. |
|
[2012-10-14] A Google User: worked as advertised...xlt support pairing Asus 7 and rooted Evo....would pair but not connect...email answered in about 4 hours and solution worked flawlessly Refreshing! |
|
[2012-09-03] A Google User: Clever application that works A great application for those that like to text over a tablet but can utilize their current cell phone. Occasionally the connection breaks, but from my experience Bluetooth is a challenge for developers. Highly recommended. David. |
|
[2012-08-30] A Google User: Works great Works great with my note 10.1 and t-mobile g2x |
|
[2012-08-22] A Google User: Perfect!!!!!! Perfect app for texting from the tablet....5 stars......the developer is quick to respond to questions too....one improvement I would like to see is a pop up for incoming SMS.....I look forward to great updates ......thanks...its an awesome app |
|
[2012-08-16] A Google User: Does what it says Wish it didn't disconnect randomly all the time . |
|
[2012-08-07] A Google User: No false advertisement It does what it does and for the price its fantastic. I just wish MMS was able to be sent to my device. Its nice to just put my phone in a set spot and not have to juggle two devices |
|
[2012-07-27] A Google User: Great App |
|
[2012-07-17] A Google User: Way better then cloud sms services! Had to work with it to get it to work with the go sms om my phone. Works great! How is this app not to a million downloaded? Love it. Texting on my tablet is great! |
|
[2012-07-14] A Google User: Abandoned No update in 7 months = Abandoned |
|
[2012-06-04] A Google User: Just what I was looking for! I love this app. I am looking forward to some of the new features (especially wifi. BT is great - but I want the range wifi can offer me.) |
|
[2012-06-02] A Google User: Worst app ever.... Havent received one message yet... |
|
[2012-05-22] A Google User: Works But it's bloody annoying that it sends the message if you accidentally hit the enter key!!! Change this and remove the stupid check box on the incoming call box and I would rate this 5* but at the moment it's 1/2 baked and annoying! |
|
[2012-05-16] A Google User: Great App just needs a few tweaks. This App does what it says it will do but the UI is a little clunky. It would be great to be able to see phone status on tablet too as I use on the train where coverage can be patchy. Lastly tapping on the notification opens the application but not the message that has been received and reading the message on the tablet doesn't market read on the phone. But this is a great app that could easily made exceptional.. |
|
[2012-05-14] A Google User: Awesome! This is exactly what I was looking for. Works exactly as it should. Thanks! |
|
[2012-04-25] A Google User: Awesome Works flawlessly with Galaxy S and Acer a510. Yes, I also get the notification on the tablet before my phone, lol. |
|
[2012-04-24] A Google User: Works great! Would give it a 5 star if u could txt pics and what not. |
|
[2012-04-13] A Google User: Needs work but great - Using the Galaxy 5 I'm using TexTab on Samsung Galaxy 5 player with the Sony Ericsson Xperia android cell. And it works like expected. But I'd like serious changes: 1. There is no customization on display. User pic too big. 2. Why bluetooth? Why not wifi? My Galaxy 5 already needs a wifi connection to access everything else anyway. Besides, I think wifi has a longer range and does not need line-of-site access. 3. Why is the main txt screen setup that way. Why not a more traditional display. One screen, one ongoing conversation. Currently It ends up just being confusing. Example: I send the message, "you looked sexy last night", who gets the message. On the Galaxy 5, huge user pictures are showing on the left and overlapping txt messages on the right.... Who gets the message. My 46 year old friend who likes me and I'm attracted to her but not sure if risking the frienship is wise. My 32 year old married friend who lives in another city, we flirt allot without her husbad knowing about it. Or my favorite 12 year old neice? I'm already thought to be the "special" uncle who is just different??? FYI, it was for my 46 year old friend. 4. If txt can be sent and received, why not phone calls? |

[2012-04-11] A Google User: Great app. Very responsive developer. Adding star when hide icon becomes available. |

[2012-04-09] A Google User: Tablet Netflix Great I can watch movies while I travel. LOVE IT :) |
|
[2012-03-31] A Google User: Drs Wont ever stay connected after trying to pair devices |
|
[2012-03-27] A Google User: excellent works. xoom + gs2 |
|
[2012-03-24] A Google User: Excellent! Absolutely great. I tried, and usually bought, every other app like this. This is the only one that is absolutely rock sold stable and reconnects from tablet without fail every time it is started. I've used it for months and wouldn't be without it on a wifi only tablet. For that the five stars are well earned. That said, there's room for improvement. The UI is drab; the single (expanding) line text field sucks; context is easily lost with its contacts display. Not perfect by any means, but works reliably. |
|
[2012-03-16] A Google User: perfect amazing. only app that lets me seamlessly send sms messages from my tablet to phone contacts. <3 being a member on xda and knowing about this. HIGHLY recommend. (unrooted Asus Eee Transformer Prime + rooted HTC Thunderbolt running InfectedRom nightly). MUST HAVE app for all tablet owners. |

[2012-03-14] A Google User: Running on galaxy tab 10.1 and galaxy s4g working great |
|
[2012-02-28] A Google User: Exactly What I'm Looking For! This is THE app that you need to link your Android phone to tablet! Simply great! Although messages get messed up at times, it's not much of a problem. =D Recommended! Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1 (Cyanogenmod 9, 4.0.3) HTC EVO 3D (Stock, 2.3.4) |

[2012-02-02] A Google User: Good idea, bad result. Using cm7 nook color and Samsung stratosphere. They won't connect unless they are literally touching each other or they are less than a foot away. Maybe its the limitation of Bluetooth, but seems that this program is irrelevant unless you're just too lazy to to grab your phone. I expected it to work like wifi, set the phone down and walk around the house. The ui on the tablet is pretty basic perhaps modelled after chatrooms. Doesn't support auto caps on start or after punctuation. |

[2012-01-23] A Google User: Works well, but... Several small changes would be nice. If it could mark SMS on phone as read, call notifications on tablet should close when call is answered, and... A better UI on the tablet. |

[2012-01-08] A Google User: Could do more but definitely does its job As for a text messaging app it does its job very well. I have had no problems with it yet. I would like to see it do phone calls as well and maybe sync my contacts a little better. But it does do what its supposed to very well and is fast. |

[2012-01-06] A Google User: Great! Super smooth between my Transformer Prime (stock Honeycomb) and Thunderbolt (running cm7). Audible notification really does come through on my tablet before my phone by a second. Awesome for a wifi tablet! Texts sent on tablet show on phone, just wish they would go the other way. Also would like to be able to hide the running icon, I keep thinking there is a message in my notifications. |

[2011-12-28] A Google User: Solid app, UI needs fine tuning Droid x/ xoom, app works flawlessly so far, sends messages quickly, and alerts me to receipt of a message before my phone does! doesn't kill battery, and as long as you remember to leave textab enabled on both devices, it will auto connect when it comes back in range, or when you turn on bluetooth. My only complaint, the UI is a bit awkward for my taste, needs a bit of a tune up, then it would be perfect |

[2011-11-16] the 11/19/2011 Perfect App This is exactly what I need. Usually the text shows up on the tablet before my notification buzzes on the phone so it's super fast unlike internet based services. One thing I would love to see is my messages sent from the phone show up on the tablet too for cases where I'm switching back and forth between the two. |
