intend twice and also make reset !

Hope this can help you !! :(:(:(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Moe5508:
Hmmmm, works just perfectly on my side. Please make sure your Voip account settings are configured correctly.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gvan:
Found Error on sending

Found error !!!after my username there was a "on space" !!!

Now sending & receiving OKKKKKKKKKKK :D:D:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rhapsody:
This is an old issue. I worked around it by checking the description and the resultstring. Sometimes it just returns failure/error and the message is delivered anyway.

I remember that this seemed to be a bug in the VoipBuster service so I decided to add a workaround for it. Now I removed this code to see if it would make any difference for you.

I don't understand what you mean with reset. There's NO possibility that a crash in VoipSMS can lead to a device reset. VoipSMS is written in .NET which means that it is executed in a sort of sandbox. This sandbox prevents those kind of failures.

Further it seems like it's something with your device, since you're the only one who's facing this weird problem.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rhapsody:
Good to hear. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] A&A:
Hi Rhapsody,

First of all THANKS for your new release!!!

Just a couple of remarks after testing.

In order of importance:

1) When a SMS is received (Intercept+Notification enabled) the white screen "A message is intercepted, please wait..." pops up.

After some 35 seconds (why so long?) the notification pops up (overlapping the white screen).

If an action (Dismiss/View Message/Delete) is not undertaken within seconds, the notification goes away but the white screen remains. The only option left is to tap on OK... If you do that VoipSMS closes, the SMS is gone! Not to be found even in Inbox!

As you certainly understand this makes your beautiful program not usable: I hope you will address this primary issue because it would be really great to replace v.2.4 with the amazing v.3 with so many new features. :D

2) If you insert the symbol "&" the program types "&". If you type "à" the program types "e"... "è" equals to "e", "ò" equals to "o"... etc.... Could you kindly take a look at this? Note: On all other text programs on the same device: No probs!

3) When you are in "My Texts" the keyboard covers the input field: It would be ideal if the input field could be placed just below the "Enable My Texts" section.

4) B&B lover: ...In the screen where you type the SMS the "ADD" button is missing....

Rhapsody: This button is removed due to SmartPhone compatibility. You can press the enter key (or ok key) on your phone.

Please note: If you press the OK (hard)key on the phone VoipSMS closes entirely. And if you press the Enter key on the keyboard the dropdown menu of the contacts/favorites expands (3 extra taps to actually start typing the SMS)... Would you please consider leaving the (very useful) ADD button?

After all the SP users must press anyway their hardkey to enter the recipient whether the ADD button is there or not.

5) In ALL folders "Mark as read" does not work.

A final question: How come "Favorites.xml" is created in the root directory of the device instead of being created inside VoipSMS installation folder (which is nicely located on the SD) like in previous versions? Any chance to keep all files neatly inside the VoipSMS folder?

Thanks again and keep up the OUTSTANDING work! :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] shortyboy:
awsome,will install latest version....although i hav a few bugs as well,i do occasionally get a long error when sending to 3 or more contacts.the people i txt are not getting a call back/Caller ID from my txts,instead they get my user name of my voipcheap account.thanx for your hardwork!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rhapsody:
Can you give me the long error? I've been testing this and didn't discover any bug.

For the second issue (I assume you mention 2 different issues); please check if your number is 'paired' with your VoipCheap account (using the Desktop client)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rhapsody:
Thanks for testing. I was aware of some points. Here are some quick answers:

1. Though the 'please wait..' screen isn't working perfectly now, the delay shouldn't be that long indeed. The interception itself is managed by Windows Mobile. On my Diamond it doesn't take that long, I've got the feeling that there's something wrong in the registry (a lot of interception rules maybe) (A interception rule is a action which must be completed by PocketOutlook when a message arrives)

2. 'à' should be replaced by 'a'. According to you some characters are replaced wrong. This replacement is done because of compatibility with the VoipBuster service, it simply doesn't accept 'special' characters. (like ó, ë, à etc). I'll look at the wrong replacements

3. I'm aware of this issue. Thanks for posting. I'll take a look at it, and fix it.

4. Because of SmartPhone compatibility I can't place the 'Add' button back. I'm willing to search for a different solution. (For example a menu item to add the selected contact). I agree with you that it's not very useable now. Ps. I meant the enter key, not the OK key at the right top corner of the screen. :-)

5. I'm aware of this issue. 'To be done'. :)

6. I'll look at the location of favorites.xml. It should be in the same folder as the other files.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] A&A:
Rhapsody: 'à' should be replaced by 'a'. According to you some characters are replaced wrong. This replacement is done because of compatibility with the VoipBuster service, it simply doesn't accept 'special' characters. (like ó, ë, à etc). I'll look at the wrong replacements.

B&B lover: Yes please see what you can do about that. At the moment I use v.2.4 (which is fine since à = à, & = & etc.) and I write very often in other languages for which I need most of the special characters... That's why I noticed immediately this small bug :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rhapsody:
I've just made some changes: (not published yet)

- Favorites.xml is now in the same directory as the application.

- My Texts textfield is visible even when InputPanel is displayed

- Special Characters replacement fixed :)

About the 'Add' button. If you've got an idea to implement this without using a button, please let me know.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] A&A:
- Favorites.xml is now in the same directory as the application. SUPER

- My Texts textfield is visible even when InputPanel is displayed SUPER

- Special Characters replacement fixed SUPER

About the 'Add' button. If you've got an idea to implement this without using a button, please let me know. How about this? When the contact/favorite has been selected/highlighted a simple tap (hardkey press for SP users) in the text area (where the SMS is typed) would add that contact to the "To:" field. For multiple recipients the procedure should be simply repeated. Could this be feasible?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rhapsody:
I think that's too confusing. What if you don't want to add the contact to the 'to'-list.

Maybe it's an idea to remove the combobox. When you want to add a contact you can simply type it (autocomplete) or add it via the menu.

If you want to select multiple contacts, use the Recipients window (Menu -> Edit -> Recipients)

What do you think :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] A&A:
After some more testing on a freshly hard reset device (Only VoipSMS + Net CF 3.5):

With the device on stand-by when a SMS is received (Intercept + Notification enabled) the white screen "A message is intercepted, please wait..." pops up after approx. 5 seconds.

Another ca. 5 seconds for the "New SMS" notification to pop up.

Time/delay-wise we are fine :D

At this point the white screen could just disappear since the SMS has been intercepted.

However if an action (Dismiss/View Message/Delete) is not undertaken within 10 seconds and by accident you tap on OK, VoipSMS closes and the SMS is foetsie/lost!

Could you try to bypass/disable the white screen and (like in previous versions) let only the "New SMS" notification announce the arrival of a new text message?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] A&A:
Why would you not want to add the selected contact to the 'to'-list?

Without a recipient the SMS cannot be sent... I do not find this solution so confusing especially if in coincidence with the first tap on the text area (simultaneously with adding the selected contact to the 'to'-list) the combobox gets cleared. Snap je?

Anyway the option you mentioned earlier to introduce the "Add selected" (contact/favorite) menu item sounds perfectly fine.

Resuming, to be sure we are on the same page:

1) Tap on the combobox drop down menu (or type with autocomplete)

2) Select a contact/favorite in the combobox

3) Tap on "Menu"

4) Tap on "Add Selected" (this adds the selected contact/favorite to the 'to'-list)

5) Type the SMS

For multiple recipients the already available (Menu -> Edit -> Recipients) path is fine.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rhapsody:
The notification disappears in 10 seconds, but the icon should still be visible at the top bar.

I'm going to think about this a little bit. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] A&A:
R: The notification disappears in 10 seconds, but the icon should still be visible at the top bar.

B&B: Indeed -you are right- the icon still shows on the top bar! But since the notification is already there, what is the use of the ("A message is intercepted, please wait...") white screen?

Sorry to sound like a broken record :D but could we not just skip the ("A message is intercepted, please wait...") white screen, like we had in previous versions?

R: I'm going to think about this a little bit. :)

B&B: Much appreciated!... And thanks again for your patience! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] shortyboy:
about my issues,they hav seemed to dissapeared....on the caller id issue,it seems that a call back number wasnt properly asigned....thanx
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rhapsody:
The problem is that I have to do something to keep the program alive (I think, but I've to test this for real).

Otherwise VoipSMS is launched because a message has arrived. Because the interception is handled in a different thread (on the background) the application closes. Which means that the notification will disappear. But I've got to test this because I'm not sure now.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rhapsody:
A new version is available.

Changes:

- Favorites.xml is now in the same directory as all the other files

- Options -> My Texts: Textfield will remain visible when SIP is visible.

- Special characters replacements fixed

- Folders: messages are now sorted by data, descending.

- Interception window disappeared

- Folders: Mark read/unread is now working

- Folders: Read/unread icon is now correct. (size on VGA devices is not fixed yet, don't know how yet.)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] A&A:
Heeeey, that was quick! :D

Going to test tonight and will post feedback asap.

Thankssss... Downloadingggg :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gvan:
I have tested the last version seems OK :) :) :)

great JOB !!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rhapsody:
There seems to be an error with favorites. I'll try to look at it today.

I discovered that I couldn't add favorites.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Moe5508:
Yeah, I get an error as well, message: ...Could not find a part of the path \voipSMS\Favourites.xml...

Let me try and reboot and then try again...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rhapsody:
Here's a quick fix

Change:

- Favorites now working properly.

If you don't use the favorites function, there's no need to upgrade. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Moe5508:
Thanks a lot sir - I believe I'll now give tinkering around with my phone a break for a little while...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] A&A:
Tested latest release... here's my feedback:

Noticed several improvements = VERY VERY NICE, thanks!

And here some (less positive) notes (sorry):

1) & à è etc. still not working

2) Incoming sms (with intercept + notification enabled), after reading it if you decide to keep it the only way is to tap on "Menu" and then tap on "go to inbox"... if you just tap on "OK" (which is the most natural thing to do) you loose the sms...It would be great if the option "keep a copy" would allow to keep a copy of the incoming messages within VoipSMS (in .txt) rather than in the default SMS system (which sux!)

3) Adding a selected recipient/favorite to the "To:" field is still not going smoothly... But I know that you are working on that... Missing that famous "ADD" button ;)

4) Font size of incoming SMS's is too small... Pity that changing the fontsize affects only the outgoing SMS's... Any chance to extend that to the incoming SMS's? :o

Thanks again for your dedication :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rhapsody:
1. I will add the characters which are missing. (á is working, but Á not for example)

2. I'll work on this. You mean the OK button in the upper right corner, right?

3. I haven't changed anything yet about the contacts selection.

4. In the folders screen you mean?

Thanks again :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] A&A:
1. I will add the characters which are missing. (á is working, but Á not for example) Thanks!!! I write often in Italian and in that language à, è, ì, ò, ù are used VERY frequently.

2. I'll work on this. You mean the OK button in the upper right corner, right? Yes.

3. I haven't changed anything yet about the contacts selection. Noticed that. :)

4. In the folders screen you mean? No, not in the folders (but also there the fontsize is quite small). What I mean is: You get a SMS. At the notification prompt you tap on the option to view the message. The full screen with the SMS opens and there the fontsize is very small.

Consideration: When you type a SMS you know that you are going to need your reading glasses and you have them handy at reach... When you receive a SMS you are caught... ahem... "unprepared"... That's when a somewhat larger fontsize would come in REAL handy! ;)

Thanks again :) You are most welcome! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rhapsody:
I'll try to add more characters to replace. I hope that it doesn't slow it down.

I tested with VoipBuster on my desktop and it doesn't support any special character at all.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] A&A:
I don't know what you mean with "add more characters to replace", but I can confirm that v.2.4 supports ALL characters.

Maybe you could reproduce that scenario... :confused:

Thanks again! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rhapsody:
I copied the code from v 2.4. :P But I'll take a look at it.

Will be sunday I think. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rhapsody:
And here's a new version

Changes:

- Fontsize will now affect View Message and folders screen as well.

- Replacement of characters as in version 2.4.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] warwickw:
2 Questions if I may :

1) Under the account setup what is the "Service nr:" option ? and what should I fill in there

2) When sending an SMS why does it insist that I enter a To: number even though I have clicked on a contact?

Other than that it works
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rhapsody:
1. Service nr is not required, only when you want to call using VoipSMS as well. The number you've to enter is the number of the VoipBuster (or one of its resellers) service. (can be found in the controlpanel on their website)

2. You've to press enter to 'add' the selected contact to the 'to' field.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] A&A:
Sorry to have to be the one bringing this subject up once more but the &, à, è, ì, ò and ù are still not working.

Thumb up for the increased fontsize! :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fbifbi:
Hey Rhapsody,

Your software is great, been using it for a while now :)

Anyway, I wanted to interest you with a free (based on ads) sending SMS service. It's really good, works worldwide, and has a daily limit of 100msges if I remember well.

Maybe the support could be added to your app?

http://mjoy.com

Regards

efbiaye
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rhapsody:
I'm afraid not. Sinces it's a whole different kind of service.

@B&B lover: I'm getting crazy now, here it works fine. And as I said the code is identical to version 2.4.... blegh.

Will look at it later.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] A&A:
I really love your latest version but regretfully I am forced to use v2.4 with which I can type properly &, à, è, ì, ò, ù (which I use VERY frequently).

I sincerely hope that you will be soon finding a solution to that bug :D

Two small addons and VoipSMS v.3 will be the undisputed nr. 1 SMS utility in the market (time to start charging for it, pal!)

a) The famous "Add" button (or other smoother solution... ref. to alternatives mentioned in previous posts)

and

b) An option to import SMS's received/sent by Outlook

... The wish list never really reaches an end, does it? :D

Thanks :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rhapsody:
New features will always cause new wishes ;)

a) Is a menu item an option? (Select a contact and go to menu -> Add selected)

b) Is possible.

About the characters, on my phone characters like áàä etc are replaced...

Edit: When I download the latest version (as posted here) and install it on my emulator; it works as well...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] A&A:
Rhapsody: New features will always cause new wishes ;)

B&B: Accidentally I totally agree with you :D

Rhapsody: a) Is a menu item an option? (Select a contact and go to menu -> Add selected)

B&B: If you add to the menu the "Add selected" option it is PERFECT

Rhapsody: b) Is possible.

B&B: Really? Please do that then! :D It would be really GREAT to have the chance to keep on the SD (inside the VoipSMS installation folder) ALL SMS's also the ones received/sent by the (lousy) default SMS utility!

Rhapsody: About the characters, on my phone characters like áàä etc are replaced...When I download the latest version (as posted here) and install it on my emulator; it works as well.

B&B: This remains a mystery... I run VoipSMS on 3 different devices and on all of them v2.4 does the job and the latest version doesn't... All other applications which require text input (on the same 3 devices) are working just fine with the same characters. :confused:

At the moment I resorted to the (omslachtig) alternative of typing the SMS in Notepad, then copy & paste it into VoipSMS... In this roundabout procedure I miss the 160 digits counter and sometimes I have to shorten the SMS text... this way at least I manage to get all the characters I need in VoipSMS... I look soooo much forward to a solution you cannot imagine!

CONSIDERATION: I believe that after all these improvements (and the amount of time you dedicate to this project) your efforts deserve to be rewarded... Why not adding a PayPal button to your signature and give the VoipSMS fans the chance to offer you a beer?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] directmail:
I think I am using the latest version (3.0.0.26853) but I can only send text messages via WLAN but not by using my active data connection (always get an error message). Is this a known issue?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rhapsody:
What error do you get?

@B&B I'll get back on you later. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] directmail:
It says "Sending...failed! Operation aborted. Error:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<smsresponse>

<version>1</version>

<result>0</result>

<resultstring>failure</resultstring>

<endcause>18</endcause>
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lover:
works really good on my Touch Pro, thanks for this great software
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rhapsody:
Is the message actually delivered?

The result you get is a known issue with the VoipBuster service.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rhapsody:
This feature will be implemented in the new version which is attached.

It is possible. I know how to do it. It's only a 'lot' of work now (relatively). So I put it on my todo list for later

I totally don't have a clue. Please try the new version attached (3.0.2009.0126). Please let me know.

Mwa I don't know. I don't have any experience with PayPal. And like this I don't have any responsibility towards the users. I like to develop VoipSMS and I can do with it what I want. If I would encourage people to give me money for it, it would make me feel responsible to spend a lot of time on VoipSMS. And because of my job I don't have that time always.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] directmail:
No unfortunately, the message doesn't get delivered by using VoipBuster with my data connection, however, it does work without an error message when using my WiFi connection.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rhapsody:
Do you have a timer set which closes the internet connection after a certain amount of time? (so that the connection closes while sending a message)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] directmail:
My connection automatically ends after 10 min but the data connection is always active when I try and send a message. Just installed a new ROM and same problem. Weird.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rhapsody:
Hmm and besides, now when I think about it... it cannot be the reason.

The website (voipbuster service) is being found and returns a result (in XML)

That XML says error. So we can say that the connection was not interrupted.

I remember that the voipbuster service contains a bug. Sometimes it returns that exact message while the message is delivered... but you say the message is not delivered at all...

Hmmm... I can't really figure out what the problem is... since it's not in VoipSMS...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] directmail:
cool no worries. maybe you could recommend a voip service that runs with your program? just used up all my credits of voipbuster so could easily change providers. thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rhapsody:
Well there are a lot of VoipBuster resellers out there. Like VoipRaider, VoipStunt.

You could try them (without credit first, I believe you get some free sms when you sign up) with VoipSMS. VoipSMS works with every VoipBuster reseller. (since they all offer the same service for sending messages)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] A&A:
Hi Rhapsody,

Thanks a bunch for the new release! :) The famous "Add Selected" issue has been solved very nicely, great job!

The characters &, à, è, ì, ò, ù still do not work.... I have no idea why that happens... Can you use them on your device/s? Amazing story this one!!! If I use v2.4 (or any other text input app) NO PROBLEM whatsoever, why is this happening ONLY with the new releases of VoipSMS??? I am really going nuts! :confused:

I hope you do not mind if I bring up again an old matter which I mentioned in Post #491... "..Incoming sms (with intercept + notification enabled), after reading it if you decide to keep it the only way is to tap on "Menu" and then tap on "go to inbox"... if you just tap on "OK" (which is the most natural thing to do) you loose the sms..."... Is there anything that could be done to prevent this from happening?

Thanks again for the E-X-C-E-L-L-E-N-T work :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rhapsody:
The character thing is working on my device...

For example: & is replaced by &.

à to a

è to e

ì to i

ò to o

ù to u.

Will try to copy it again from version 2.4.

I'll look at the OK button for interception.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] A&A:
I just tested to be 100% sure and the ones below are the exact results:

If I type = I get

& = &

à = e (not a)

è = e

ì = i

ò = o

ù = u

THANKS for looking again into this matter and also for searching a solution for the OK button for interception :D
