Factory Reset

I had bad battery life, bluetooth pauses and assorted small issues which was cleared after a factory reset.

I am guessing the apps on my phone have vestiges of KK implementation and, or, optimizations.

There's got to be something better than LP on the horizon. And better than Samsung. Coming from the Note 2, I had better battery life, better wifi connectivity, and good enough CPU power. Very disappointed on the Note 4. I can live without root, however the phone seems less than what I had before.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Sippi4x4man:
Even after a factory data reset, I am still seeing upload/download activity on 4G LTE in the notification bar when connected to WiFi. My download booster is turned off.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] rusty.gh:
not sure if anyone responded yet, but swappiness is from making a partition to run apps on your SD card. I'd undo all those and start fresh with the new lollipop OS for those.

Make sure once you kill all the SD card moves you made to clear cache, then set up new ones.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] WPWoodJr:
I was not receiving calls, callers to my phone went direct to voice mail. Called Verizon and the tech suggested enabling Advanced Calling. That fixed it! He didn't know why but said it's the second time he saw that today.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] outcasted2003:
Verizon technical support told me to take my phones to BestBuy and have them wipe my phones and flash the full LP 5.0.1 to both phones. Hope it will help.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] smacsteve:
I agree with the reply above. It did work on KK and I too have been experiencing this issue along with the much worse battery longevity.

---------- Post added at 02:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:04 AM ----------

LOL. Really? Verizon Tech Support actually told you to take it to BestBuy and have them wipe the phones and flash the full LP? And you're going to follow their advice?!

I'd have called back to VZN Tech Support and gotten a different agent. That's a joke!

Poor Battery Life

Since I've upgraded to 5.0.1 my battery life isn't as good at it was on KitKat, I noticed that my phone is being held awake the whole time. I did a complete wipe (2 times) and didn't re install any of my apps right away and still doing the same thing. :confused:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] outcasted2003:
No joke. I even called BestBuy and they have a deal with Samsung to fix any of their phones. They assured me that once they wipe the phones and flash the full LP 5.0.1 that the phones will not have anymore of the bugs and the battery life will be better than if they were on KK.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] t0flus:
I've made a small application which adds a group of contacts as recipients to the existing messaging application. If you start the application from the start menu it will create a new SMS message for you. If you start it from the messaging menu it will update the already created SMS message. This makes it possible to forward received messages to a group.

As this is an extension of the original messaging application, all messages will be saved in the Sent Items folder.

Changelog and more information can be found at my website: http://www.shubaroo.com/index.php?module=group_sms

The application will run on both Pocket PC's and SmartPhones with Windows Mobile 5.0 and above. Never tested on older devices, so it might work on them too :)

It supports MUI and can easily be translated to any language. Currently english and norwegian is supported.

Please give me feedback if you experience any problems.

To download, please visit my homepage at: http://www.shubaroo.com/index.php?module=group_sms

Hi,

I'm still using version 1.3. I don't know if you remember my mail from then.

This is a part of it: :-)

"Do you think it’s possible to add a group of contacts that’s in my SIM-list?

I mean, if I select the box All Contacts, only the contacts saved in Outlook are visible, not the ones on my SIM-card.

If not I can always save all my SIM-contacts to the Contacts in Outlook, but then my contact list is growing so big and a lot of double phone numbers are showing up."
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] myRIGHT:
MANY THNX to you

really this GROUP SMS is come to solve a big problem in PPC which is sending message to more than one.

NOW by using you GROUP SMS i can remove other silly program that try to send to many but big , not embeded in the options of message like yours

thnx again and again :)

Hi t0flus

I test your app in my Jamin and when I try Add Group I get a blank white page without anything to mark, what is the prblem

using GroupSMS v1.4

Jamin G3, Rom AKU3.3.13.ASERG

thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] meehaa:
make sure that there is at least one groupe (catergory)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] t0flus:
Group SMS can't add a group at the moment. It can only read the Outlook categories. I will probably implement functionallity to add, remove and edit groups in a later release.

I recommend you all to upgrade to version 1.4.1. Some users found a small bug when contacts are member of more then one group. I forgot to reset a string before I used it again and this can cause the application to show a group multiple times with some strange characters.

The new cab file can be found in the first post of this thread.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] secoseco:
thanks meehaa I get the problem, must have group before

thanks t0flus waiting for the new version to create group, good work

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] colonel00:
I gave this app a try. First thing I noticed is that it wiped out the Mark All As Read and Delete All menu extensions. Unfortunately, these two options are much more useful than a group sms. Great work anyway and maybe you can find a compromise.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] t0flus:
I will certainly look into that! Which device are you running on? Is the Mark All As Read and Delete All menu extensions a part of the ROM or have you installed it?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] motabe:

in my case.. my contacts has their own categories.. categories are like group.. so when you create message.. you just select the category and all the person under that would be added automatically...

I have

htc p3300

with B&B 3.7

and net V2 installed.

I have more than 1500 contacts divided in 10 categories.

when I try to use groupsms I get the first screen with preselection of groups (cateories)

I do chech one or various, then next.

Some seconds later I get just one, two and mostly nothing of contacts to check.

Where the problem comes from?

I used it with just one category and 200 contacts and haddn´t any problem ( has the program mem limitations?

Thank you for your great job
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Vinny75:
I am having the same problem,

The menu extension is available at:

http://blogs.msdn.com/dennisq/archive/2006/08/29/730874.aspx

I was working on something similiar to what you have created, and I have the code at home to only add the option to the compose sms text form, I can post that when i get back home, but basically look at the second link for Compose_%, I believe SMS is like Compose_IPM.SMS or Compose_IPM.SMSNote

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb158797.aspx

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb158572.aspx

I also added mine directly under the "Add Recipient..." as "Add Recipients..." ... just another thought.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Vinny75:
IPM.SMStext is the correct suffix for text messages

Thanx dear :) .. its nice program
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] King of Rapture™:
Hi there,

You have a beautiful application. Though it has a bug when used with my Universal (JasJar). It doesn't have a scroll bar (either on the bottom or at the side of screen) in both the landscape and portrait modes.

I had to use my HP iPaq.

I would really love it if you can correct the bug for my Universal. BTW, the Universal has Windows Mobile 6.0 on it.

Many thanks!

Thanks very much for a great bit of useful kit.

Installed a treat on my Orbit and works fine.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] t0flus:
Sorry! Totally forgot about this!

I believe I have fixed this bug in my latest version. I also fixed two minor bugs:

A small memory leak while looping the contacts.

I forgot that the contacts database starts on index 1 so the last contact was missing :)

I recommend everyone to upgrade to the new version:

Hi i installed this on my HTC Excalibur WM6 ROM but nothing happened. it did not add a new menu item.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nofuse:
Great program

Just one thing though, some of my contacts have multiple numbers, so their mobile number may be listed as a work number, the program doesn't seem to pick up work numbers.

Any way of fixing this?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tho:
Amazing, simply amazing! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] t0flus:
New version ready for download.

A user found out that contacts that where member of more than one group did not show in the "Select receivers" window. I fixed that bug and I recommend everybody to upgrade to version 1.4.4.

:):) Great application. thank you a million!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TriAxisFL:
Hey I'm using your 1.4.5 Version. I was using the 1.4.0 version for awhile then it quit working. I was getting an error message. I cant remember now something like "Unable to find any contact groups in the database", even though I had a few groups and hundreds of contacts.

So today I uninstalled the old version and installed version 1.4.5. It fixed my error message. I think I may have found one bug, as my phone "clocked" 2X when I did the following.

I opened up GroupSMS 1st and from all contacts i selected a few people. I then use the "Add Group" option from the bottom and tried to add a group. Each time GroupSMS just clocked. It seems like if I add groups when the "TO" field is blank it works fine. Or if I add everyone during the initial selection process it works fine. But when selecting some at the beginning, then trying to add more using the "Add Group" it crashes.

(This may be related to old files/settings from the 1.4.0 version)

outlook distribution list

Hi,

Just would like to ask, how I can select the distribution list I’ve created in my outlook? It says, it could be selected via category. The group or the distribution list does not seem to sync so I’m not seeing in my device. Kindly advice. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] adomila:
bump

i have not gotten any reply from my outlook distribution list problem :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] t0flus:
It only reads the categories. And if the distribution list isn't synced to the device, how could it possibly read them...?

Ø
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] manaaa:
edit******
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] adomila:
hi t0flus,

taking into consideration that the contact names are already reflecting in the sent items, would it be too much to ask to include the name after the last step, in creating sms messages? the check boxes works great for double checking but if the names appears in the final step then that would be the final check, i think, i don't know... btw, great work and thank you very much...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gooofy:
suscribe~!!!!!!!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] t0flus:
Have I understood you correctly...? You want the name to be included in th To: field of the messaging application?

If so, you can easily do that by pressing Menu -> Check names or something like that. Haven't got an english device at the moment so I don't know the exact name of the menu item.

Øystein
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] adomila:
Hi t0flus, yes, you understand/understood me correctly. Thanks for the "Check Names" info, silly me, the function is always there, I just have not use it because when creating regular sms messages it automatically checks or include the names. I guess this would just now fall on the wish list:) But still, it is an additional step. Hehehe, sorry for being so persistent:D Is it possible or is it even worth the effort? Hehehe, persistent, persistent, persistence :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kensong:
Check names is fine but it would be much more convenient to immediately write the namesin with the numbers like the default method eg "John Terry" <+XXX-XXXX-XXXX>. Would that be possible? Working great on my Samsung Omnia though it supports Group SMS via category. Problem is it limits you to only 7 entries.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mrTablet:
HTC Diamond

I have a HTC Diamon and wonder if it works on my cell phone.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] t0flus:
kensong and adomila: The problem about including the names is the maximum length of

the command line argument while starting the messaging application. There are limitations on maximum string length so it is best to keep it as short as possible. If the string is too long the application cuts it, and not all receivers are added. That's why I don't want to include names....

I've updated the first post. It contained an old version of the application. As I'm tired of updating all forums with new versions I'm now linking to my website.

I'm about to release a new version. I got a report of receivers that are member of more than one category is added twice to the receiver list.... I'm testing it now and I will publish it as soon as I'm done!

German translation

Hi everybody!

I played around a bit with the mui files in the package and created new ones for german devices.

Maybe someone else would like to test the files? Simply copy them into the GroupSMS program directory and restart the SMS app.

I used Visual Studio to open the 0414 files in the resource editor, changed the string table language to "Deutsch (Deutschland)" and translated the strings without changing the ID.

Cheers,

P.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pachwald:
btw: No rights reserved... If it's OK, integrate it into GroupSMS without further notice. If it's not, tell me what to change. ;o)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] t0flus:
Thank you very much! Haven't had time to answer your mail, but I can see that you have found a solution to your problem :)

I'll include the german version in all future releases!

I have a silly question, is the extension theme based meaning it will use the current theme I have active on the phone, or will it be white and blue as the screen shots show?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] t0flus:
If you are referring to the blue top and bottom bars then they are theme based. The bars are not a part of my application. The screenshot is taken on a Windows Mobile Smartphone WM 5.0 device with the standard blue theme.

Hi Eske!

As you know, the bug has been fixed. But I also started the work on group MMS sending and I hade planned to release it in the same version - that's why it has been delayed :)

Øystein
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] smotrs:
Yep, that's exactly what I was talking about. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] eske.rahn:
Nice idea :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dubLeE:
I have the latest GroupSMS installed but seem to be having some issues.

I'm using this with my Treo 750 with WM 6.1. Whenever I select a category, it takes me to the New Message where you type the message. However, it only shows 1 contact and when I highlight that contact it shows ALL the numbers of the people in the category under 1 person (the first person in the category) with ALL the numbers of everyone else in the category.

When I try to send it, i get the following message:

"An address doesn't look like a valid phone number or e-mail address. Send the message anyway?"

That error makes sense because it has multiple numbers under one person with ";" in it so the phone can't recognize it to be an actual number.

If i click yes, try to send, it fails. I know i have the contacts right because I can send the message when I individually add the contact but just not through GroupSMS.

Anyone know any resolutions?

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] t0flus:
Never tried a Palm Treo so I really don't know what cause the malfunction...... What happends if you add two receivers manually in the messaging application without using Group SMS? How does the "To" string look like? In all Windows Mobile phones that I've used all recevicers should be separated by the character ";".
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dubLeE:
Yeah the Treo separates them using ";" too except instead of going horizontal like:

"Number1; Number2; Number3"

It goes vertical like:

Number1;

Number2;

Number3

Maybe that could be the issue?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] eske.rahn:
Problem with recipients getting sms numerous times.

I have a problem that I THINK relates to WM6.1:confused: (got a Touch Diamond) and

not

GroupSMS, but I would like to hear if anyone else is experiencing this. I can't find anyone reporting it in the forum.

When sending an sms to multiple recipients something odd often happens, some of the recipients receive it numerous times (I have had reported NINE-fold doublets!)

I THINK what happens is that when an error occurs (poor/missing network or whatever) the phone begins to send the sms again, BUT it starts all over with the first recipient again! So those that have already got it gets it again!!

There is another windows bug that is related to this situation:

If it fails irreversible it just places the sms in the draft folder, and there is NO way to see who of the recipients have got it and who hasn't. (

Very

clever MS:mad:)

This morning I had a strange variant of this, where it worked more sensible!!:rolleyes:

I sent a film-review to around 20 people, deep inside a rather large building (most likely with poor signal), and after a while it popped-up with a message that it couldn't send to all, and asked if I would like to retry. I answered Yes of course, but the strange thing is that this led to TWO messages in the sent-folder, and the second one had a mid-sequence of the recipients in the TO-field, and the first one had the beginning and the end of the recipients list in its TO-field???

I haven't cold-bootet the phone for over a week, so the last thing might just be a strange windows f..-up where it miraculously works sensible.:rolleyes:

It's new to me at least...

I should say that is is the same group I'm sending to, and it is unchanged since cold-boot.

Have anyone any similar experiences?? And maybe a better explanation, or maybe even a workaround?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] defamed01:
I have a Vogue, and I had the same problem using the stock Windows SMS. I switched to Vito SMS-Chat, and haven't had that problem since.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] t0flus:
That is probably the issue, can you test the new 1.4.6 version and see if it works on your Palm?

Øystein
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mccune:
Download link on your website is not working :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] t0flus:
Woops!! Fixed! Thank you :)

The 1.4.6 version also includes Group MMS!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dubLeE:
Installed 1.4.6 successfully however when I go into programs to open the application, the icons are wrong; it shows the white paper with a folded over corner and the Windows flag on it. Then when I click on GroupSMS or GroupMMS, I get the following error:

"The file "Program" cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of it's components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try restarting or reinstalling this file."

I installed directly onto my device by copying the cab file to my phone and running the cab from the phone.

So now it won't install correctly! =(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] t0flus:
Strange, I rewrote the code that creates the shortcut but it tested it on all my devices... The error message you get means that the shortcut is pointing on a file that does not exist. I'll look into it..

Can you try to navigate to "\Program Files\GroupSMS\ and manually start GroupSMS and test if you are able to send messages to a group on your Treo?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dubLeE:
I manually opened GroupSMS and went to send out an SMS but the problem still exists. It only shows the first person of the category with all the numbers under that contact. Only difference now is that there are 2 squares after every ";" now! And the same error message comes up when I try to send.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] eske.rahn:
CRLF?

"Two squares" This sound like an attempt to show 'odd' characters. My guess would be CR & LF. Its likely that many (but not all) phones will ignore CRLF.
