I just downloaded the newest version and put it on my Blackjack II. I really like the app, but there's one bug that is really irking me: if you're sent a message from AIM, it adds it as a friend, but screws up the rest of the friends list. So when I save, and the AIM IDs are in there, it will not load my friends list when I re-open the app.

So in order to fix it, I have to go into the data file, and delete those friends every time. Is there a workaround?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] IMSMS:
Gosh, when something goes right, you don't see this thread with any postings. when something goes awry, you get many posts ;)

FOR THOSE WHO HAVE ISSUES, PLEASE SEND ME YOUR

\Program Files\IMSMS\EngError.txt

file. I've asked this many times via this thread. I cannot assist anyone if I don't know where your problem originates other than from within IMSMS. I can then trace the issue -

This version 1.0.732 does have new safeguarding features not in previous versions. It's always best to shutdown and restart your device after you install a new version. Sometimes you will get erratic glitches in Windows Mobile if you do not do this step.

As for sending messages, please try the ACTION-SEND MESSAGE->Choose contact from this menu:

FIRST, write a text message in the text entry box: THEN SELECT THE FOLLOWING:

then either send your message by hitting SEND MESSAGE OR you can simply choose a contact from your contacts book:

this is a new feature you can send messages directly to anyone without setting up a friends list.

THOSE THAT WANT MMS - Good luck - sorry, no support -

REASON is that MMS is different from SMS - there is no defined protocols on how to manage mms- it is different depending on device - and there's no one stop shop software to handle this unless the software was designed to work with the device from the beginning - developer works with the OEM in order to create it for the specific device.

There's no "standard" provisioning like there is with SMS - provisioning meaning how to handle the message/display the message, etc.

You can try to hack it to work for one device, but it's not guaranteed like SMS how it will work on another device.

So to sum it up, NO, IMSMS will not work with MMS nor does it try to. It does however free your own device's MMS management software - that way you get to work with MMS while using IMSMS.

Thanks,

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] IMSMS:
HI,

Please send me the latest engerror.txt file for the latest version. Do not send me prior version debug info because the latest one addresses the previous version's problems.

thanks,

DSO
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] IMSMS:
Also NOTE:

When you delete the data.dat file (located in the \My Documents\IMSMS\data.dat

folder, you will reset your data storage path as well. This means that the previous location of your chat logs is pointing to the default path. Be aware - this will cause your logs to seem to disappear as well. It hasn't. Just reset the data storage path (if you have changed to a different storage path) after you delete your data.dat file.

And after you do RESET your data path, be sure to restart IMSMS as well (saving the settings/data). The next time it loads, it will also load the set data storage path for your chat logs.

Build 1.0.733 - released

Previous versions included some optimizations that REMOVED critical pieces of functional code (see release notes) I am very unpleased with this because this was not expected :mad:

However, please give the new version a go - I have run it thru the emulator a few times to ensure working order.

Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Cheers,

thanks.

.33 new version works now. Only issue im still having is its not properly catching SMS, its still going to the stock poutlook box. Im the errorlog file its saying SMS_notify unregistered every time i guess which is right as i have sms notify unchecked, but i do have auto display and auto start checked. the program still wont start up on incoming text and the incoming sms arent logged in it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] IMSMS:
If you haven't already done so, go ahead and shutdown/then restart your device - normally, this will allow the hooks to work properly. If the previous versions worked for you, there's no reason this version doesn't work - I've gotten many feedbacks via email the 1.0.733 works fine now.

Thanks,

DSO
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] klmsu19:
well previous version was on a similar wm6 device. This is a just released sprint HTC Touch. i reset a few times still not capturing sms theyre still going to the stock poutlook box.

in my hklm software microsoft inbox sms rules, i do have two {} values with dwords of 1 though (not keys), do i need to set those to 0 perhaps? one starts with {719758B8 and the other starts with {C21ECC72
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Harboe:
Any chance an import old sms'es will be added?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] IMSMS:
I cannot tell you what to do on your new Sprint HTC Touch - I do not own an HTC Touch on Sprint network therefore I cannot test for you - if the hooks are not registering, it simply means that your registry may have other keys that cause the messages to NOT be passed to other applications registering their sms hooks properly.

Unless I get my hands on an actual hardware, I cannot know for sure which keys does what (if that is even your case at all).

---DSO

edit: I do have a .reg (registry file) available for you to use - it's off the release notes area - you can try it because it does indeed setup the correct GUID's to work. You may want to back up your registry FIRST - deleting all the keys within the rules folder. Then import the .reg file.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] IMSMS:
I should correct this - you can now send to any number without registering them as a friend. It's in the ACTION->SEND MESSAGE->Choose Contact

As for importing old sms messages, at the moment - NO - unless this is a request that is a majority vote, I don't think I will make it so - depending on how much I time I have left - since I still must release version 1.1 with the dynamic group send option (still in the working right now).

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] deanerh:
I tried this and it winds up getting the conatct info onto the screen, but not actaully into the box where the mobile number needs to go (see attached screen shot).

One request for future release....can we get rid of the top bar icon that turns on when you use One Chat view? It doesn't really need to be something I see no matter what app I am in.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stepchild:
I'm using an AT&T 8525 and I have the following problems.

I can't get it to use any sound other then what it came with.

The emoticons do not show on screen.

Now I'm sure it probably is me. But not sure what to do to fix it. I could use your help.

IMSMS Error when recieving sms sent from email

IMSMS is great, but its erroring out whenever I receive a text from someone sending a text to me via email. Any one else have this problem? This is on a HTC Mogul on Sprint.

I get the following:

An unexpected error has occurred in IMSMS.exe. Select quit and then restart this program, or details for more info. An error message cannot be displayed because an optional resource assembly containing it cannot be found.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] roverman:
DSO, love the program and have followed it from page 1. This newest version, when I get a new text, it doesn't show the text or who it's from in the box at the top, it just lists the first person (alphabetically) in my friends list and shows no new message. I then have to scroll through all the friends to find the message and who sent it?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] deanerh:
Occasionally I'll send a message and it won't go through. I get a message from IMSMS that there's been a problem and that the message I was trying to send is stored in Drafts......maybe I am just not looking correctly, but I have searched all over for where a Drafts folder or log might be within IMSMS and I haven't had any luck. Where do the messages get stored if they don't go through right away?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sian:
Hi

This is my first time trying IMSMS. It's an interesting piece of application.

I've encounter some wierd beahviour. So far,

1) IMSMS doesn't auto start when there's an incoming SMS

- I've already select this auto start feature

[edit: seems to work now]

2) When I view the SMS in default inbox, and then launch IMSMS, the new sms did not get update in the IMSMS

3) When I add a new friend, the current list of smses with another person became the new friend's. When I turn to the original person I'm smsing with, the log of sms disappeared.

4) When there's a SMS comes in, IMSMS will auto start but it will show the name of the 1st contact instead of the person who sms me.

5) Unable to turn off outgoing sound, although under setting it's been unchecked. = (

6) After I checked the option to notify other application of SMS, even now that I unchecked it, the default sms notification will still come up.

IMSMS - Status

Hi DSO, a long time since the last release date.. What happens? Still waiting to see 1.1
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] paleozord:
Where can one actually find skins for IMSMS? I've seen talk about it but never actually found any anywhere on the net. Do they exist? I'd like to be able to use one with the text entry box at the bottom, and the newest messages also appearing at the bottom like classic MSN Messenger style, instead of everything upside down. Does such a customized skin exist anywhere?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wacky.banana:
Where is the OP?

Any idea what's happened to the OP? Everything seems to have gone quiet and I am not getting responses to emails.

I am more concerned as to the OP's personal welfare than worrying about where the next software update is. Anyone with any info that could shed some light on this would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hey, I'm back

Happy New Year XDA members - I hope this new year will bring much joy and good health to everyone!

First things first - I was on long vacation - but my gmail did not set the auto vacation - so I guess everyone just thought I died or something.

The last builds on the IMSMS home site was the last stable revision. I am contemplating on continuing with this project since Microsoft is releasing Windows Mobile 6.1 due this february (or within the month). There are supposedly new "fixed" features - and of course, development api improved. The update will include a new SMS threading application - from the pictures seen, I will tell you it sucks. It's very generic and does not offer anything aside from just getting your messages threaded.

I am putting IMSMS on hold until WM6.1 is released - I don't know the # of users for IMSMS - but I do know there are many.

For new users, sprint mogul users, and others - please review the website's FAQ and HELP guide section - all the answers are there - I've received numerous emails asking the same questions: "how to fix mogul keyboard issue", etc. It's all in the FAQ/Help guides.

As for technical revisions, I will try to push out 1.1 with group send features soon. I am just getting back into the groove so it may be a bit longer.

I want to thank you all for the support - hope your holiday was grand and keep using your Windows Mobile devices - and also please email Microsoft WIndows Mobile team (look on the windows mobile website) and complain about how crappy the UI is. That's all I have to say - I'll be back later...

Quicksand/WB - I got your emails - thanks for your emails - hope your vacation was grand as well :)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] curtislanham:
Welcome back. I think you had some people worried!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wacky.banana:
IMSMS,

I'm not at home if you have emailed me but welcome back. You had a fair few of us rather worried. Its highly unusual for a developer to just disappear without first throwing a hissy fit then flouncing off in a huff. :)

If you can get 1.1 out and iron out some of issues you know about then that would be excellent, while we are waiting for Microsoft to do their thang! :rolleyes:

Anyway, really good to see you are back.

Later. :)

Any idea why, even though the "SMS Notify Other Applications" setting is turned off, I'm still receiving messages in the regular WM Messaging program?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] marvelous7325:
Hello everyone. I've been using imsms for 2 days and it functions perfectly on my blackjack II. I mean it is great, handy and fun! Excuse the excitement. My main question is,is it possible to get rid of the beep when I send messages? I disabled the option in settings and saved, and still it makes a beep still. Thanks for the help.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] marvelous7325:
Nevermind, it was a system sound, I had to mute it. But another program can you add is, the option of playing the full tone when a message is received, because mine are only 30 seconds long, so i'd rather here the whole thing than 5 seconds.

Also, is there a fix so that when Im on the phone, i won't have to hear the tone too, because i can't hear what the other person is saying.

These two previous stated options/fix would be great, if possible of course.

Vibrate only

How can I make IMSMS vibrate when I receive a message and do nothing when sending a message? The closest I have come to this is switching to "Vibrate Only" (option 6 in the Menu), but then the phone vibrates when sending too. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Notifications

When a new message appears from a contact other than the one in view, the message received icon appears up top, then they quickly disappear and the dynamic alerts never appear in the alerts menu option.

I am using an HTC Tytn with the default HTC WM6 Rom. I have unchecked "Enable Msgs Instant Update". OneChat is off. Emoticons are on. Incoming Message Sound is off. Outgoing is off. Missed Message Alert is off. Vibrate and Sounds is on. Contact Ring tone is on. Auto Display is off. SMS Notify other apps is off. Auto Start is off. Confirm save is on. Custom Sound is on.

Slick

I have been using IMSMS on the dash for a while, been ghosting this forum, and have now been using IMSMS ppc on my wing since December.

I must say this is a lifesaver of an app, especially since I am not much of a WM fan but that is all we support.

I can't wait for your next release as the group send will be over the top.

Keep up the good work!!:)

XV6800 Keyboard Issue

Installed IMSMS on my Verizon XV6800. When typing a SMS the slide out keyboard does not function properly. It acts as if the function key is pressed. (In other words I get a 1 instead of a Y or a % instead of a D) anyone else see this and perhaps have a solution. It's really not much good like this.

Is this XV6800 (Mogul) considered a PPC or a Smartphone ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Otter:
The Mogul is a PPC.

I have a Sprint Mogul and I don't have any issues...

Butttttttt! I did have issues with the keyboard in some programs a few months ago and found this:

emoticons not showing

hi there. thanks for this wonderful app, its what i have always wanted just one question. why are the emoticons not showing? i saw a post two pages back and someone else had the same issue. im running the latest version of imsms in my athena/ameo/advantage in realvga mode (96 dpi) and it looks great just the bug that the emoticons are not in the display box hope you can fix this.

[BUG] Wrong symbol counter

Symbol counter near the text input field:

1. is updated only when the space is pressed, unlike in Outlook (updated after every key is pressed)

2. is displaying incorrect total number of symbols when unicode symbols are typed in (it should display "1/70", "2/70" and so on, but not "1/160")

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] msafi:
Wouldn't be cool if you could search your SMSs?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] IMSMS:
Hi guys-

The app is built on the HTC S620 (tmobile Dash). I did not have the resources at the moment to check on an HTC touch or advanced touchscreen device -

To send a message is super easy:

On the HTC S620 and other smartphones, just highlight the black text message input (the long black textbox). Start typing your message. YOU HIT the MIDDLE navigation button (OR ENTER on your keyboard). It will send the message.

BUT you have to be sure that there is a FRIEND (which is your system contact) added to the ORANGE friend's list box. That's it.

TO verify, you will see your text entered into the chat log with that FRIEND (from the Orange box) displayed; it's displayed right below the text input box (the long black text box - quite obvious).

EVEN if you have an incorrect MOBILE TELEPHONE number setup in your system contact book for that FRIEND listed in the ORANGE box, the engine will still send but return an error message if message was not sent successfully.

What are you guys seeing (those who have WVGA/Touch screens?). What happens to your text (in the black text input box) after you hit the MIDDLE navigation button/or the ENTER button on your keyboard?

I need to know so I can guestimate the bug on your particular device. Again, this app was never tested on touchscreen platforms - but should work the same way.

I'll respond when I get some more feedback from ya'll. Thanks again so much for the feedback!

ALSO:

Be sure all your contacts contain a MOBILE TELEPHONE number. The format will have to be : +14251234567

+1 = country code

425 = area code

1234567 = 7-digit calling number.

When you send a message (image below): just hit "ENTER" or "RETURN" key or "the middle navigation button (on smartphones)":

It's real easy...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Carnivor:
im definatly using the correct dialing +44 111 1234567

the layout is 90% correct only a font issue it seems on the text entry box,

Just cant find any keys to actually send the message,

Also ive noticed now, that an incomming text is not being picked up by the app, i had the intercept option ticked and still the normal notification popped up and nothing in the logs
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] IMSMS:
Keyboard issues (send message for PPC/Touch/WVGA users)

Redownload the IMSMS_Installer.zip

I have correct a keycode that may fix your problem. Simply reinstall - it will preserve your settings/friends AS LONG AS YOU select MENU->Settings->Save Data/Settings.

When you restart the app, it will load your settings saved.

Try it out!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] IMSMS:
The font issue is fixed. The new .zip contains the updates. It will actually rotate to landscape or portrait now. The target platform was incorrect in previous build due to my compiling haste.

THis new build contains the Enter Keycode and REturn keycode so you can try both. It fixes the font height/box as well.

Please use the number WITHOUT spaces so:

+441111234567

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] IMSMS:
The "MENU->Chat Logs->Enable Msg Instant Update" feature explained:

When you have a FRIEND selected in the ORANGE friends list box, you are conversing with that person. Their chat log will be displayed. Let's say you have the "Enable MSG Instant Update" turned off (not checked), when someone else sends you a text message, your current chat log (the messages between you and the FRIEND listed in the ORANGE list box) WILL NOT GET OVERWRITTEN (not overwritten as in erased but overwritten meaning the new message won't be displayed instantly) - rather you will get a RED ALERT icon on the upper right hand corner.

NOte: if this is turned on, your "chat log" will instantly be updated with other sender's messages - this can be useful to some and distracting to others. That's why it's an OPTION to be ON or OFF ;)

You will either scroll your FRIENDS LIST (left or right) until the notification disappears. IF IT STILL REMAINS after you circulate thru your list of FRIENDS, that just means the message received is not from one of your friends you have added. It's an "anonymous" sender. Just view the ANONYMOUS log via the (MENU -> Chat Logs -> View Anonymous Log). That will instantly clear the nofication AND display who just messaged you. ANYONE THAT IS NOT SETUP TO BE YOUR FRIEND (that is added to the ORANGE list box) will get their messages dump in the Anonymous Log.

It's designed to be easy to manage - hopefully this will clear things up!

Just remember, IMSMS WILL INTERCEPT ALL SMS TEXT MESSAGES. IT WILL EITHER DISPLAY THE FRIEND'S CHAT LOG RESPECTIVELY OR DUMP THEM IN THE 'ANONYMOUS LOG' - IF THAT NUMBER DOESN'T MATCH YOUR CONTACT'S MOBILE NUMBER: again, +14251234567

(no spaces, no parentheses)

Menu Item shown (with feature off - notice the SMS ALERT(1) which means you have ONE MISSED SENDER's MESSAGE(s). It does not mean you have ONE MESSAGE waiting - it's based on SENDER COUNT):

Notice below that with the feature turn ON, any incoming messages will be overwriting your current chat log view with your FRIEND. Notice I'm speaking to Michael Jacksun, and I get an anonymous sender's text which is interrupting the chat log with Michael Jacksun and I...sometimes you want to be interrupted (waiting for someone to text you) and sometimes you don't want to be so you can choose either:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Carnivor:
Text in the black box is much much better!! maybe remove the bold, but perfectly acceptable.

Ive corrected the number, it had spaces in it, but still cannot sent the msg, dpad button, sip enter, and hardware keyboard enter, none send msg,

Screen rotation is sweet now!! flipping P2L and L2P effeciently.

Incomming Texts not appearing in the Anon Log

Definatly much improved over the earlier version, its unfortunate that the sending isn't quite fixed. This app has alot of scope!!
