OK, IP updated and port opened on windows firewall. Click connect, window dissapears then reappears a couple of seconds later. Still showing disconnected and no sync with the desktop ap :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] infopete:
Hi Ollyk

If it dissapears it's connecting so for some reason we are dropping the connection.

I'm near Leicester. If you're close I'll pop round! If not I'll send you a new copy of the pocket pc side with lots of message boxes.

Pete
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] OllyK:
I live in Derbyshire, while not as bad a Scotland, it's still a good trek from Leciester.

By all means send a version with some de-bug code in and hopefully we can get to the bottom of the issue!!

Thanks again for your help

Doesnt work on wizard

This is simply just great, been looking for something like this. Great iniative!

1) Perhaps it could be a service on the device? So it doesnt have to be in front

2) The PC interface needs a helping hand in terms of layout.

3) Doesnt support ÅØÆ

4) Hangs on import

5) PC app crashes when sending.

THNX!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] infopete:
Hi

1) Perhaps it could be a service on the device? So it doesnt have to be in front

I used to hide it once it connected but it's easier to leave it showing while i'm testing.

2) The PC interface needs a helping hand in terms of layout.

Suggestions are always welcome, send me some pics

3) Doesnt support ÅØÆ

Hadn't thought of that.

4) Hangs on import

It's probably just taking forever. My Artemis is soooo slow.

5) PC app crashes when sending.

Did you get an error Message? I'll put some more error trapping in though.

Hi Pete,

I have a 3125 and I'm getting a similar error on my phone that I get when I try to run Tone Manager v0.2 (also in this forum). The desktop screen will come up fine, but I get a "The Handle is invalid . . ." error. I'll attach a screenshot of the desktop error and a txt file of the phone error.

I'm wondering if it's an issue with the 3125 being a smartphone. The Tone Manager works fine on my wife's 8125, and I'll test this on my wife's phone when I get a chance.

Also, I installed the compact framework version 3.5, but the desktop installer still installs v2.0 when I run it.

Thanks,

Just added PocketSMS_SmartPhone.zip to the start of this thread.

I have no idea if it works as I do not have a real device to test it on.

Just unzip it and copy the pocketsms cab file to your device and install it.

I have included the inthehand cab too just in case that is required.

Let me know how you get on.

Performance Release

Hiya,

I've uploaded V1.06 which is so much faster on the phone than past releases.

I want to change the look of it next.... so ideas please?

Pete

pete@infonote.com
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] trojansailor:
Pete,

The Smartphone version gets a little farther, but I'm still unable to connect. On my desktop (running XP SP2), I get the same "handle is invalid" error as I previously posted, and that error won't go away if you click on "OK" or the "X" in the upper right.

On my phone, it says, "Not Connected" in the very upper left, and just below that is my IP address of the computer. All the way to the right of the IP address is "11000." Under "Last Message," it says, "Not ConnectedSocketException"

At the bottom it says "Alpha 1.05 Smartphone," and the left soft key says "File" with the options: "1 Exit," "2 Connect," and "3 Hide." When I select "2," it briefly says "Connected" in the upper left and underneath "Last Message," but immediately returns to the above messages,

Oh, also just want to mention that I start off with the phone connected via Activesync and synchronized, and when I start Pocket SMS on the desktop, it brings up Pocket SMS on the phone. The third field of the IP address on the phone is actually 55 when the desktop IP is 15. Not sure if it's supposed to be the same, but I matched it to the desktop, but no change in result. Not really sure what Inthehand does, but it's loaded, and I have Compact Framework v3.5 loaded.

Thanks for your effort,

Joe

V1.07

Hi,

1.07 is available.

I'm looking for feedback and ideas now.

I want to on the desktop:

1. tidy up the desktop and make it prettier.

2. Do more with drag and drop for the lists.

3. Offer printing of SMS conversations

and for the Pocket PC should I:

1. allow incoming sms messages to be displayed in BIG text?

2. have rules on the pocket pc to automatically file an SMS in a folder?

3. Reject some messages based on set rules?

I'm sure we could add functionality forever but I'd like some ideas please.

InvalidCastException

Pete,

I downloaded and installed v1.07 (double-clicked .msi on laptop, copied .CAB to XDA Orbit and double-tapped and installed on device)

However on launching the PC client nothing happens. When I do "Make PDA visible" then on the XDA Orbit I get an error of InvalidCastException in "GetItems Fetching ..." immediately after its tried to sync.

Note: the PC client indicates v1.07, the PDA server part indicates Alpha 1.06a

I've attached a .GIF image of the PDA error.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] infopete:
Hi Bill,

If you run the software more than once does this still happen.

Thanks very much. I'm almost there.

When I run "Pocket SMS" while my phone is connected to PC, it appears to be working for a couple of minutes, and than nothing happens :)

Only the application Pocket SMS starts with empty "last message" field. Oh, and the res is quite big.

The same thing happens when I press "connect"

Any ideas?

Thanks

ed.

I have an idea! :P

As SMS are data, they have to be stored somewhere. You know, there HAS to be a file where it all is located. I don't care about contacts. Just SMS. Hmmm... your app has to do it SOMEHOW :)

I just installed v1.08 and got exactly the same problem as before: "InvalidCastException" as soon as it tries to sync.

It says Alpha 1.08 in the bottom line of the PDA version. The IP address is 169.254.2.2 (is that right? i dont know where it gets that from?). The port is 11000.

Infact I get multiple cast exceptions in "GetItems" and the error is reporting the 1st names of all my contacts eg "Derek Error in GetItems".

I've had the same issue with synching from my Wiz to the desktop, but I think it eventually worked cuz I saw the text I had on the desktop app.

In the US with XP/SP2 running. And what are the conditions for sending the SMS from desktop because I hit send twice, but I cant tell if anything happened or not? Is there some sort of confirmation in the app?

Thanks, I really like this, too bad I'm just now seeing it AFTER all my texts got deleted...:eek:

Great Idea!

Would love to use program but is seems with my wing it is not connecting.

I installed both cab and msi but upon launch on pc, the ppc starts, the app flashes "connected" for half a second then says "not connected".

I noticed that the ip address is not that of my computer and I have no idea what the port number 11000 is used for

basicly says ip 192.168.55.100 port 11000

Not connected

Can't get connection I think...

Hello All,

Having a problem here... I have v1.08 installed to a T-Mo MDA (T-Mo's ROM), .Net CF 3.5b, to Xp Home & Pro, Vista 32 Ultimate and Premium. None of these combos are working.

All of them when I start the desktop half will start the phone half, but then it just sits there. Can't do anything. No messages, no ability to send or refresh data. Pretty much, it is just there and that is it.

I tried to open up the 11000 port on the firewall hoping this was it, but no joy. 2 different firewalls also... Turned them completely off and still no anything other than the app popping up on the phone and then sitting there.

Any suggestions as to where to go from here?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] infopete:
Hi,

The "RAPI" bit is working or it wouldn't start the phone application from the desktop.

Do you get anything in the textbox on the phone?

Have you tried checking your phones security settings? Take a look at the post just above this, there are two links that may be of use.

If this does not work I'll strip out my code and write a small test application.

Pete

pete@infonote.com
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DCHigley:

Anyway, All the security is off, allowed to run anything, etc... Is there a specific piece of that you are looking for?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dragonedge:
Same, RAPI is working as the app is launching when I run desktop application but the ppc says connected for one second and then displays not connected. No sync, no messages display.

Great work so far, loving the concept and I like your ideas for making it 'pretty' etc.

Would it be possible to have some sort of indicator that the connection is current and live. A couple of times I have gone to work with my text to find that the connection had dropped.

I have also noticed that when I attempted to delete a text on the desktop it goes through the motions and confirms that deletion is wanted, ok then the text is still there?

Keep up the development, 'pretty' please.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DCHigley:
Any luck yet?

Any luck with the new library?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] infopete:
Hi

Yes the new library solves the issue of the "No Sender" in the sent messages.

However, the MMS part did not fully work so we still don't have access to ARCSoft MMS messages. I'm going to see if Orange can help me on this as we are Orange Premium Software members.

I've been developing a CRM package for the Pocket PC over the last few weeks so the Desktop SMS has been on hold.

I'll put a new version up next week when I'm back at work with the revised library.

I'm still waiting for feedback on the "look and feel" but have not had any suggestions.

Regards

Pete
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mark Crouch:
You might do well to have a word with @DotFred (website here), as he developed the PPCPIMbackup application; it backs up MMS messages, but Fred is still having problems getting at the MMS attachments.....maybe the two of you could work something out???

Just a thought :D ....Happy New Year!!!

Mark.

PS. I'll get your software installed on my PC/Kaiser today or tomorrow and see if there's any aesthetics / layout changes etc. that I can throw back at you ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DCHigley:
I am still not getting any messages in or out so I didn't even know about the blank sender... :)

As for the MMS stuff... I wish you all the luck in the world or a lotery hit! :) I have seen many many posts on this and to my knowledge nobody figured out how to do it without the API from ARCSoft. Hope you are the first! Make yourself a library and sell that baby for half what they want and become rich! :D

For the look and feel... I can't give you to much on that because I can't use it, but it always looked OK to me. I prefer the minimalist approach though. The less bells and whistles the better for me.

Anyway... I'll see what I can do when I can get it to do the SMSs. I am pretty bad at GUI design though... :)

Hiya Pete,

These are what I get when a message comes in on the phone. I went to T-Mo site and sent an SMS to myself and this is what happens. It looks like it is connecting to the device OK. The desktop app gets the PPC app running and it does get the contacts to the desktop. Can't send or receive messages though.

Anyway... Here is what I am getting on the PPC when I get an SMS with the PPC app running...

BTW - Is there any way you can log this or make it so this window is able to be copied to the clipboard so screen shots are not needed?
