Hi Dieter,

the problem is with the desktop and I think if you look in the file sms.xml you should find all your messages.

If this is the case, could you email me a copy of your sms.xml (feel free to just send me a subset). Either that or I'll try to get one of my xda's to boot up in German.

My email is pete "at" infonote "dot" com

Once I've made the changes I'll email you back a copy of the modified program for you to test.

Regards

Pete

after installing, the application crashes? anyone?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cogliostrio:
Im having trouble getting the messages to appear in the inbox on my desktop. All my messages seams to be in the sms.xml file though. The strange thing is that my sent items do appear on the desktop.

Could this have something to do with the number of messages i have on my phone? I currently have 405 in my inbox, and 285 n my sent folder.

And im getting a error that goes like this: "SentItems Error in GetItems - NullRefferenceException"

This is on a Norwegian Diamond, so the paths have different names here as well. Let me know if any more info is needed, as id like to get this app up and running.

Hi Pete!

Excellent work, thank you! I am using it all morning with success.

One question:

For the sent folder which I use with my German version, do I have to rename it to "Postausgang" in Preferences or do I keep "Sent"?

Just to be clear if any issues should come....

Thanks and regards,

Dieter

:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] infopete:
Hi Dieter,

I have put a filter into the desktop to look for what is in the preferences OR "Sent". So in theory, it shouldn't matter if you put Postausgang in preferences.

Many thanks for your help on this.

Tryin to get this to work on a Wizard

I have a US wizard with CRacing 1.8.1 (WM6.1). I installed on device and desktop (XP SPII). All I get is the <sync>...</sync> message. Nothing transfers to my desktop. I tried a google search for the microsoft security tool and i found this:

http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Fo.../thread/ad8dbbb1-da54-47b7-a139-57da5bdefd64/

Is this the tool you are referring to? As a side note.. I have 3500 sent items and 4500 received items in my sms system. Some I want to keep but a lot can be trashed. So I am hoping to use this tool to help me manage them.. Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] infopete:
Hi

First of all look at the next post and try the security tool.

Next check the IP address of your phone as it may be possible that I'm not detecting it correctly. (I hope you're connected using activesync)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] infopete:
I thought the latest release did work with all characters, do you get any scandinavian characters at all?

I read the inbox in batches of 100 messages and then send them to the desktop. Have you looked in sms.xml to see if any messages are being transferred?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] GerooTech:
can i use this application to send bulk sms, or can you add this feature to send sms to bulk, it would be great if we can do this.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NLS:
Two questions (sorry if it has been asked before):

1) Does this support backing up devices that use threaded SMS? (like Touch Pro, Diamond)

2) Can it (or is it planned) to interface with Outlook?

...there are just three apps (by two companies) that supposedly do handle SMS on the desktop, but none works ok. I hope this does better.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cameraddict:
@ Infopete,

I checked the xml file. Indeed, it looks as though all the received items are in this file. But none of the sent items. And they don't show up in the program...

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

1. I have 6.1 on My XDA orbit 2, it works fine with threaded SMS but does not recognise SMS attachments.

2. I have no plans for an Outlook interface as I'm a Lotus Notes developer. However, if enough people ask and give me a list of requirements I'll implement it.

Pete
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] infopete:
Create distribution lists and then you can send bulk sms and they can be scheduled too.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] infopete:
Hi,

reading through several thousand sms messages and sending them to the desktop takes ages. Delete sms.xml and let the software run and run and run :)

If this doesn't work, I'll create a test version so we can try to identify where the problem is.

Hey Guys,

how come nobody rates my software? :(

I don't - but on the other hand I haven't tested your program yet either. :D

BTW, I'd love extending this to also parse and copy to PC, the call history database.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] juno256:

Pete
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NLS:
This is the second time you say that, so the questions that rise are:

- How many is "enough"?

- Don't YOU like to have that functionality? (both for your own use and to make the program more feature-full)

Keep up the good work anyway.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hendrixus:
At the moment I am using an alternative Windows Mobile SMS Sync v1.2
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] infopete:
"Enough" is as many people it takes for me to stop doing paid work and do this for free!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NLS:
Hm ok that hints me that you really mean "it will never happen".

Ok fair enough. You are the developer.

So I guess it's pretty finished (what is done is done) right?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] AceXNew:
Hi,

first , thanks for your great work.

It is so nice to have messaging capabilities from PC via PPC !

next, wanted to ask for Unicode support.

see this example :

http://screencast.com/t/fVwIj4ro

i am using Farsi language, but the caracters are shown as ???.

and when i tried to send a SMS in Farsi, the program on PPC crashed with some "Invalid Address" error.

Then i tried in English and the same error occured.

I am using WM 6.0 on Imate Ultimate 6150. (is this compatible ?!!!)

Thanks for the great work again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] infopete:
No,

1. I have the issue with Outlook versions. I have Outlook 2007 on my system and I believe most of the world is on 2003.

2. I want to change my protocol from sockets to httpRequests

3. I want to do more with distribution lists

4. and finally call lists.

Then, I want to create a commercial version :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] infopete:
Send me an email please and I'll send you my mobile number. You can then send me a couple of texts so I can see why farsi characters are not being catered for.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NLS:
You confuse me. I thought you said you use Lotus and you have no plans for Outlook, or the call lists...

Anyway, let me know if I can help.

(I haven't installed it yet - I am not yet sure if I will... depends on you mostly)

I am Greek so maybe it also has problems with Greek SMS... we need to test.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] AceXNew:
i checked infonote.com and no email !

please give me your email.

Also i said that it crashes even if i want to send english SMS .

is this compatible with WM6 ? Imate Ultimate 6150 ?

thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] infopete:
Sorry, my email was a few threads up but it's pete at infonote.com

also i will be glad to see new versions of Desktop SMS .

Thanks again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FuzzyJJ:
This is exactly what I was looking for... but it doesn't work completely:

FAQ or troubleshooting guide?

Hi, this is just the software I was looking for, but it's not working. Nothing happens. I installed according to basic direction, but no reaction from both programs on either side. I don't want to ask a question that's been asked around, and there is million pages to sift through looking for someone who may have had my problem, so my question is...

Is there a FAQ or troubleshooting guide for this wonderful program? Common issues and how to solve them or something? That would stop a lot of people asking repeat question most likely, and save some space on this board. Thanks, hope I can get this thing working somehow...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hendrixus:
This board is for asking questions
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Spixe1:
repeat questions? most mods and posters get sick of that pretty fast and then end up not helping those who end up asking the same questions over and over. But if you guys don't mind it, I'm sure posters won't mind either. I'll tinker with it a bit more and post if I can't figure it out.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hendrixus:
Yours words. Try to uderstand what I mean and read some more of my writings you know where I am sick off!

Sorry for the delay in responding.

The application is on ice at the moment and I have no plans to add functionality in this version.

I do however, intend to rewrite it. So suggestions are more than welcome.

Hello Pete, thanks for SMS manager, what I really like to see is to be able to multiselect messages and reply only to them with one sms, this will help when ypu get greeting at a special occasion and would like to answer the people who sent you even if they are not on your contact list

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] infopete:
13,000 texts, forever sounds about right :)

In theory, I copy messages across in 100 message blocks so, you should start to see messages coming over straight away. You may need to double click on the inbox on the desktop to start seeing them.

lots of problems...

I just discovered this program to use on my MDA WIZA200 windows mobile 5.1 phone but it doesnt seem to work very well. I installed version 2.04.

The server on the phone many times doesnt respond to any of the commands i send from the desktop client (it still claims to be connected though). It did get me my contacts and also messages Sent one time but Inbox remains empty. In fact "Synchronise Messages" doesn't seem to do anything anymore. No "processing.." messages anymore on the server. Also Deleted Items map is missing on the client.

When I first start the client it says:

<SUNCH>, maandag 1 januari 0001 0:00:00,maandag 19 april 2010 11:28:13,<SYNCH>

Which looks weird and arbitrary since the actual date when first trying all this has been April 30.

Some other questions...when the program is hidden on the phone..how do i return to the interface? Nothing happens when I just restart it and there isn't such a thing like a tray icon. And what does the option Reconcile Contacts Messages do in the desktop client?

Any thoughts/fixes? Any reply would be appreciated as I would really like to use this program. Thanks a lot.

Outlook Exchange

Hi,

First off i'd like to say you're doing an excellent job! This is definitely going to be a very popular app as a lot of people are interested in this kind of thing. I'd like to ask for a request, if possible, a wishlist kinda request...

Could you make it interact with emails as well? specifically emails downloaded from Exchange. You see, I get my emails from our exchange server fine to my fone but it's kinda difficult to handle all emails from my TyTn. We have an OWA (Outlook Web Access) site but that takes forever to load and depending on my connection, sometimes it doesn't even work from my home (our DSL ISP have fluctuating speeds at different times of the day).

If you can make this work with emails (Outlook exchange), that would be awesome! I'll just have to download the emails to my Tytn, connect to the laptop and use your user-friendly interface on my laptop to get through all my emails without hassle.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] infopete:
new features

Hi WB and Joecruz,

I will allow you to select the Contacts from the Navigator to send a text to multiple recipients.

I had not thought about distribution lists so I'll add that too.

I already save the texts in the sent folder. On the xda tho they appear without a sender. The new inthehand library (when it's released) will fix this.

What do you mean about multiple sms's to a single recipient?

You can already drag and drop inbox messages to different folders.

Joe, I don't intend to do emails at the moment as this is already covered by lots of other methods. Though if lots of other people want this I will do it.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wacky.banana:
Pete,

First off, just tried this out on my Hermes and I get the error message "there was a problem accessing the host ip address". Had a quick look and the ip address it is looking to access is within the range that I use so not sure what the problem is. Any ideas?

With regard to your question re what do I mean by multiple SMS to a single user, I have instances where I have received a single text each from person a, person b, and person c respectively. What I would like to do is to send those 3 texts to person d in one go, not as 3 different texts on 3 different occasions.

In other words instead of the concept of sending a single text to multiple recipients by picking the recipients off a distribution list, I want to reverse the concept so that I can pick off number of received texts sat in my Inbox off some kind of picklist, then choose the person I want to send them to.

Hope I'm getting this across. If not then pm me and we can talk over the phone.

Let me know where I go next with ip address problem pleas.

Thanks

I'm working on distribution lists and scheduled texts next.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wacky.banana:
Pete,

Just wondered; it might help if you used version numbers within your file names so we all know which version we are working with. Also change/release notes for each version would be useful.

If you put your files and release notes in the first post of this thread then it saves having to trawl through the whole thread to find the latest version of the software (useful when you end up with a thread with over a thousand posts, as some of the ROM threads on here grow to). This approach is near standard practice on here so hope you don't mind me suggesting it.

I will run your latest version, when you upload it, to see if my initial problems get sorted. If not I will email you as agreed.

Cheers

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

On your desktop pop up a command window and type in ipconfig

You should be able to see the ip address of your desktop.

Type this into the ip address on the phone and press connect.

Also, it may be worth looking at your firewall settings just in case that is blocking the connection. You may want to open up port 11000

email me if you have more problems.
