I saw this yesterday from Fierce Wireless  http://www.fiercewireless.com/story/sprint-goes-ott-messaging-plus-app-jibe/2013-10-14

 being talked about so I decided to give it a spin. I have to say it works pretty good, including doing video calls on 3G. It is for IOS and Android, so give it a spin, and yes you can do regular sms/mms thru the app to for those others who do not have it installed.

I installed it yesterday but didn't see the point plus all the white is just blinding.  I understand giving the Iphone users the blinding white they are given but other users like black backgrounds as it is much easier to read especially at night.  Besides the cosmetic issues I didn't see the point of the app and will just use handcent since I like the pop up messaging and then use google hangouts blinding white background for the rare video call I do since everyone already has that app.

True, but not everyone trust Google in using most of there services and for a good reason to. As for it being blinding white, I can handle it.

I prefer Handset with my custom dark interface. I am pretty sure all that white will drain the battery more, too.

 

No, white screens do not affect power consumption unless you are using an AMOLED display.  And why would you want to do a thing like that?

They sure chose a piss-poor name for it. Trying to locate it in the Play Store or Google Search it turns up hundreds of results.

Yeah, no kidding. I'm not sure if it's giving me results based on my, ah, web history, but,

Those were the only apps that came up, and that last result...

Searching just "Messaging Plus" pulls up more. It's ridiculous.

Oh, so it's not just Google saying I need a little more gay in my life? Google seems like the company to do something like that, honestly.

It's probably cause of the tags on the apps. But who knows, maybe google is giving you a hint. Maybe google wants to wine and dine you or something!

So I have an iPhone... so I already have iMessage and Facetime... I really don't see the point of this.

What if mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, grams, gramps, nana, papa, etc., do not have your holy chosen phone. Could an an OS agnostic app bridge that gap?

 

Hmm...

An OS agnostic app, already built in to all Android phones, capable of text chat as well as video calls?

 

Google Hangouts. It's even hinted that the next version will include SMS support, which could provide an OS-agnostic iMessage and Facetime like experience.

Yes but IOS is using a proprietary standard of there own making and as always will not share. The way Google is going these days , they aren't earning a lot of trust on the privacy front. This app ask for nothing, is supported by Sprint with the standard it is using and being IOS and Android usable.

I wish apple would have stuck to their word and released FaceTime for all platforms. I heard they got hit with some patent lawsuit, which forced them to change how FaceTime works, which caused them to drop those plans. I wish they would reconsider. FaceTime/iMessage on all platforms would actually be good for apple. I do think apple would benefit from becoming more open. I do not believe the iPod would have been as popular if they had not released iTunes for windows.

It only asks for all of your phone info, control, and even your precise GPS location. Not much at all...

    • My s24 Ultras auto updated to April 1 security patch over night. Not on wi-fi.  Play system remains at March 1. No notice that update occurred on screen.
    • Got the latest update. On my S24 ultra the NR-ARFCN display remains constant (which is inaccurate according to diags) while n41 and 38 toggle back and forth.  I updated then rebooted before testing. Two sims active. My security patch level updated automatically to April 1 before this update. Diags sent while n38 was displaying.
    • Was able to install the March 1 Android security patch. Seems slightly more accurate with 5g ca band id, but can not swear by it. Updated google play system update through the software information screen to March 1. *#73# still works. Froze updates waiting on SCP update beta to fix n41 showing as n38.
    • Just installed it. Thanks for the info.  71 mb mar 1st date.
    • There's a permit for a new 47 story building at 205 Montague St in Downtown Brooklyn. The problem is that  T-Mobile eNB 48352 is on the building next door and this new building will block two out of 3 sectors of the site. For reference, the new building will be roughly as tall as 16 Court St which is right across the street. This site is the primary site covering Cadman Plaza so I wonder what the plan is. Will they just try to change sector placement, move to a different building, or will this just speed up the conversion of the Sprint site at 25 Monroe Place?
