![]() ![]() I cannot talk through the tablet (I don't think), but the call does go through. if I hit the phone icon on the tablet app, the phone makes a call to whoever I happened to be texting. I'm trying to figure out how the tablet is communicating with the phone if the radios are turned off. I looked to see if the app was somehow turning the radios on, on the phone, but it looks like they are staying off (unless they are coming on for a fraction of a second). Here's where it gets strange! If I turn off WiFi and BT on the phone, when I write a text on the tablet and hit send, my phone receives and sends the text. Phone is a rooted LG Optimus G Pro running KK. I realize that the phone is using it's cellular radio to send the text. Same happens if I send a text from the tablet, I get a notification on the phone again within a second or two. If I get a text to the phone, I get a notification on the tab within a second or two. MightyText syncs my phone and the K1 within seconds. ![]() I decided upon MightyText as I didn't want another phone number as some of the other apps provide. I needed a texting app for my stock K1 running LP 5.1.1 “We’re trying to find nuggets of value throughout a user’s day.Maybe more of a hardware question than an app question, but it happens with this particular app. “We just want to be a useful product,” Arora says. However, the company has a native Mac and native Windows client in beta right now - Arora was using it as we video-chatted - and they’ve included native OS-level notifications, so your texting and syncing experience will be as real-time as possible.Īlso of note: MightyText is currently building a Gmail plugin that will let you text right from your Gmail account. “We can do any file type, any media type, install and uninstall apps … ”Ĭurrently MightyText works on your tablet or laptop via a web-based interface to its cloud software. “This is just the beginning,” he told me. And we’ve seen that people will pay for storage.”īuilding a platform for personal sharing has been part of the plan all along, Arora says, calling MightyText more of a productivity play than a messaging app. “We also have some professional features coming soon, such as scheduling texts, managing multiple phones, a B2B play for enterprises, especially as BlackBerry moves out of the enterprise and companies need to manage 50 or 50,000 devices centrally. So Arora sees the possibility of leveraging his MightyText platform, which is on pace to route about six billion texts annually, for much, much more.Įssentially, what MightyText has created is the plumbing and wiring for a personal data sharing platform, which can then open up an API for any other apps that want to communicate to the desktop or send data and documents to a user’s other devices. It’s good timing because, while our phones are the most personal of our devices, they can be islands of content and capability that don’t translate well to your laptop or tablet. It’s good timing, and not just because iCloud just had an outage yesterday. There will soon be billions of Android devices, and no one’s making it easy.” “No one raves about iCloud, and we feel there’s an opportunity. “Everything on your phone should be everywhere all the time,” Arora says.
