I'm off for the day - I'll be back later!

some questions regarding:

Emoticons are in the software - just type them out:

Go to the MENU->Emoticons-> you will see a small listing (I just put in most common emoticons at the moment) - when you click on the menuitem, it won't add it for you - it does however display the text needed to type in for the emoticon you selected. Just type it in.

NExt build will be better - I just need the core engine running smoothly - before I add more UI tweaks, visual enhancements. Actually the option to set color for text, date/time format, sizes, is already in this new .2833 build. I just need a bit more time to make sure it's not bugged.

Thanks again for all your feedbacks. Enjoy it and don't rack up too much $ for sending IM lol (lucky for me, I have a Tmobile messaging package :D)

SOrry guys, I was uploading again -

It's now there - and should not be corrupted.

Build 2991 fixes the dreaded pocketpc user's can't send button!

now fully works on HTC touch, pocket PCs, and other wm6 devices!

Im sorry , but "ZIP file" still corrupted :(

Still waiting to try this new version in my TOUCH ...

Seriously, It looks AWSOME ! I see money coming 4 u man ! :D

Great programmer !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] IMSMS:
WTF!!?

I hate this stupid comcast - I have no $$ to get a proper hosting site - I have to resort to this piece of shxt!

I am going to REUPLOAD ONCE AGAIN. Try again in about 2 minutes

ARghhghghghhgh
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] IMSMS:
OK - it should be uploaded. I tested this using another computer borrowed and the .zip is intact!

(I hope)...

please let me know what you think - feedbacks, suggestions, etc.

.2991 has a lot of features! and check out the manual online to help you go thru the features! ;)

Just to let everyone know - don't worry about your SMS messages - once you have IMSMS installed and running, it will keep all your chat logs. You can then ARCHIVE them (saving you tons of space) and then viewing them on your desktop computer using the archive viewing tool (also on the download site). Your messages can easily be extracted as well and kept forever - so rest assured about NOT losing your SMS text messages when using IMSMS!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pvillasuso:
Downloaded ! :D

Gonna Try it now ! :cool:

Feedback soon !

Hi,

I have been looking for a tool like this for a while that would give threading/chat like capabilities. Congratulations so far.

Problems I have testing this on a Tytn (Hermes) running WM6 is as follows:

Trying to send a message to a given friend gives the error message "trouble writing xml data - index out of range exception". If you click ok on the error message the text message then gets sent. However all responses back from the recipient, even though they have been selected as a friend and should therefore drop into thieir own chat log, seem to go only into the anonymous chat log.

Similarly messages that I originate do not seem to appear in any logs at all. So if I respond to a message within the anonymous log I don't get to see my response as part of the thread, which is different to what is shown in your tutorial.

Any ideas as to what the problem is? I am running build 09.2991.

When the SMS alert shows up the number of alerts is hidden by the black text entry bar. You may need to tweak this at some point.

Thanks

Dead Thread

Guys,

As far as I am aware this thread is now dead and the developer has walked away.

For me this tool was a fantastic idea made real by the developer. However I never got it to run correctly on my device despite weeks of testing and interfacing with the developer. I have not received any direct replies from the developer for some time now.

It is a pity it wasn't finished off as this application has such huge potential but there you have it.

Continuing IMSMS??

Sorry to bring back an old post. I wish the source is release so those who would like to, could continue with this project, or to mod it to suit their own personal preference/device. Then again, I guess if you really want threaded sms with the function of MMS, might as well cook a 6.1 rom instead...

This a great program, one where it was developed by user for user AND for free! I have never seen such dedication on a free software, thank you DSO/IMSMS.

I have been searching for a threading sms software, found many but most did not work on my device(samsung i620/WM 6 standard 320x240). This is the only free application which works(probably because it does not rely on PIE). I have found other software for my threading need, but comes at a steep price(for me anyway). I really do like SMS at hand, but just can't bare myself to sell out $30 for software which it's function is already standard on many OS. SMS at hand is very stable but for $30 it is no where near IMSMS's function, which is free! I am still surprised as to why the stock OS(WM6) does not have any audio/vibrate notification for missed calls/sms/mms/etc...

Any similar programs?

Hi there... I realize that this is an old thread.

I have this program running on my phone and I love it... The only way it could be better would to be able to forward messages, and to send to groups.

Since there is no support for this program, I was curious to know what everyone else is using?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] osirisHTC:
Sorry to bump this ... but it's still an important issue.

Native SMS in Windows mobile sucks.

SMS at hand - is this the best one out there ?

Any other suggestions ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] IMSMS:
The error message is mainly due to the fact that you need to have the mobile telephone number in the correct format. It's a requirement for this build. You must have it in this format: +14251112222 (no spaces, no (), just like that.

If it gets dropped into the "anonymous chat log", that just means the number is not looked up in your system's contact book (simply, you either don't have the +14251112222 format correct under that contacts mobile telelphone number).

The UI is designed for the HTC S620. I will probably end up porting this over officially to the PPC/HTC touch world since I do know at the moment there may be a few clipping issues with the labels/icons.

You don't have to use the ALERT NOTIFICATION, you can use the DYNAMIC ALERTS - which will alert you on direct level - aka SMS Caller Missed ID.

It's important that you should follow the numbering format for now: +1425111222 for all MOBILE TELEPHONE numbers only! You can enter in (), hyphens, etc. BUt you must include COUNTRY CODE (with a +) and the AREA CODE. The online tutorial/manual tells you how to do this.

When you "ADD" contacts, you will see their MOBILE NUMBER listed next to their name. If you don't see your contact, that means they don't have a MOBILE TELEPHONE NUMBER. IMSMS currently (not for long though) requires a MOBILE TELEPHONE NUMBER.

Thanks for your support - the manual is a good resource to use as well!

ISMs - Incoming sms

Incoming sms didn´t show the correct german characters äöüß. How can i correct this issue? Thanks for reply.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wacky.banana:
IMSMS,

Thanks for the response.. At least I now know the answer to the question I posed.

I'm a little peeved by this as, mindful of your comments on having telephone numbers in the correct format, I spent over 2 hours last night editing over 600 contacts to get this done. I used Outlook for the job as my contacts are synchronised to that.

Following your response I have now discovered that Outlook Contacts will accept the format +00123456789 but then pushes a space between the +00 and the 12345 when you save each contact. This is a real pain in the rear and means I am going to have to do this manually, on the phone, all over again!

Is there any reason why your tool uses such a rigid format template for contact numbers?

Good tool, btw, and I think the tutorial is excellent. You obviously thought the release process through properly before letting this out. Well done.

I will report back once I have sorted my contact numbers out.

WB

PS - I cottoned onto dynamic alerts pretty quickly last night, but thanks for the tip. :)

Build 3160 released! **mandatory install**

For those who haven't installed this yet, go ahead and download BUILD 3100 from the download site (post #1).

* Added new features:

* Added "Auto display" - when messages arrive and you are at your home screen, it will bring up IMSMS to the top level

* Added "Sound Notification Alert" - when set, even if you are not around to view your phone, IMSMS will play a sound every 60 secs alerting you of new messages

* Added "SMS Notify Other Applications" - when set (after setting this and restarting IMSMS- will allow system inbox to receive a copy of the message as well as IMSMS tracking the message.

Since 0.9.2995:

===============

* CUSTOM FEATURES ADDED!

Right now, I am working on a multi-language version. Currently, pre-1.0 is for English only - or 7-bit text.

I am also working on PPC specific platform. Right now, you will not be able to view the character encoding (Chinese) - but not for long ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] IMSMS:
I am working on a multi-language version. thank you for your patience!

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

This is excellent work. I have to say I was not looking forward to recoding my 600 odd contacts to fit into your original, rather restrictive, numbering template. Also making a copy of the incoming text in the system inbox is a good one; this was going to be one of my requests to you.

I will download, test and report back (well I would but Comcast is giving this message; Page URL Not Found!! The requested page does not exist on this server. The URL you typed or followed is either outdated or inaccurate). Can you sort please; thanks.

If its not already there you might want to consider a toggle to switch the 60 second reminder on or off.

Thanks

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

Have done some initial testing on the latest version posted, seems to work as designed.

Couple of observations: the SMS alert is still partially obscured by the black text input bar. Very minor issue this so don't bust a gut fixing it. I notice the quick help does not have the ability to scroll down through the window which means you can't see all of the help text available. Also, for some strange reason, you can move the quick help window around the screen but not size it so that you can see all of the help text.

Other than these minor gripes this is looking good. Have you thought about having a dropdown box to be able to select an alternative directory (say, on a memory card) to store the chat logs?

Once again many thanks for developing this tool. There have been an awful lot of people go for the ripped Palm SMS threading app, then discovered a bunch of issues when running on devices other than a Treo. Your app might just change all that. :)

Cheers

WB

PS Color options settings don't work on the Tytn as you can't see/access the left/right scroll arrows. This happens irrespective of viewing mode, i.e portrait or landscape.

PPS - Have you thought about having a visual notification written to the Today screen? That would be most helpful in picking up the fact that messages are waiting (plus the sound reminder, which is already there). Thanks.

Hi -

My ISP is currently having an upgrade - I cannot access the site to upload the newest builds: 3170 so get it from attachments in POST #1 of this thread

it's now for smartphone (installer for smartphone) and one for PPC (separate) installer.

I will move everything off my current ISP and everything will reside on a proper site with a help forum as well.

Thank you,

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

Quite looking forward to the dedicated PPC version when its out.

Re the change directory thing, I am aware of how you have set this up currently; however what I was asking for is the ability to click in the directory box then see a cascade of available directories (bit like a mini windows explorer); however this is a minor issue. I'm hoping you will see merit in this idea sufficient to include in a future release.

How long is it going to take you to move ISP's (I'm an impatient man)? :) :)

Said several times but said again; thanks for the tool. Good to finally see something I have been searching around for ages come to life. Incidentally I have spread the word to the boys using the Palm SMS threader so they know this is here.

Cheers and thanks for the good work.

Guys,

He is moving ISP's hence the dead links. My advice is to be patient.

Unfortunately the welll written tutoral is also on that site so access is not available at this time.

As for all MS going into Anonymous, you need to "import" your friends into the application first, then it will slot incoming messages into logs linked to the contact who sent them in.

Open the application, click on the action button, then choose add/remove friend.

IMSMS,

Good to hear from you again. I was just begining to think you were deserting us. :) I too am waiting for the PPC version whenever its due out.

If you have not already done this then an area for improvement is the text bar. Its fine writing text on a single line so it does not hide the thread underneath; however there needs to be a way of viewing the text written out, in its entirety, before its sent.

One way of doing this might be to create a dynamic text input window which starts life as a single line but when you tap the window it opens up/drops down into a bigger window to allow the viewing of written text. Tapping the window again should revert it back to single line state and so on.

What's your view on this? Single line at the moment is the only irritant on an otherwise excellent tool.

Keep up the good work.

WB

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] IMSMS:
Hi,

thanks for your feedback - The original design was intended for the puny HTC620. However, the entire engine is now re-written so that it can accomodate any graphical UI. It's not limited to what I have presently - in version 2.0, it will be a graphical UI instead of intrinsic components - due to time shortage, I did not write any custom components - but intend to do so in V2.

Use the PPC version. It's a bit faster than the smartphone - and hopefully, I kick the crap out of some stupid annoying issues still plaguing even the previous builds before 1.0B1-5101!

I apologize that it may be hard to type out your text and review - but I will improve this 10x in the next v2 debut.

I want everyone to know - this is not your average IM client app. It is your sms management tool as well. Because you can archive and view all your messages and the core engine supports many features not found in other IM clients - such as dynamic alerts! What is important to focus on is that it is meant to be fast and can handle your incoming messages just like a real IM client can. But using SMS. It's meant to be fast to switch logs and because it was designed to work 100% on the HTCS620 (tmobile dash), it's really fast to view friends list and switch chat logs on the fly.

I hate MSFT's pocketIE browser - I don't have enough time to make my own component but I will focus on this in the next release because POCKETIE is slow and a memory hog. As well as being unstable when you make it do things it's not really meant to do! ;)

BUT by using system components, you are almost guaranteed to have upgrade compatibility - when there's a new system component released from the windows mobile team, you can just reap the benefits of the new component rather than having to re-write your app to make it work for WM6.5 or whichever version is updated.

I appreciate you're time and suggestions/feedbacks/comments! I don't mind - just send me an email about anything - I'm always open to hear out what you all would like. I designed this application to meet my own needs - but i thought everyone could use something that is good and FREE :)

And it will always be FREE!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] IMSMS:
Seems like I spoke too soon ;)

those who have downloaded the 10.15.07 1PM installer, go back and REDOWNLOAD the new link : 10.15.07 2PM installer version.

The 1pm file is incorrect - because it does not contain the fix to correctly show your incoming messages time. the 2PM file download (uploaded already) has the fix for you.

Sorry for the blunder - I need to make sure I organize my files properly!
