I will address this - right now, it is profile INDEPENDANT! I will enable it to go with your profile set! In the latest builds, it includes sound adjustments - well, turn it on or off :-) It's in the SETTINGS -> Preferences menu. You can also silence it if you use your volume slider - the sound level goes with your earpience volume level.

Custom sounds is coming! The reason the .cab file after uncompressing and installation is so large is because I need to compress my audio files - they are all raw and takes up 70% of the entire installation - I need to deal with the audio at a later stage though...

Which version of Windows Mobile are you running and please tell me which BUILD of IMSMS are you using as well - another user has notified me before of some strange truncation problems if carriage returns/line feeds are used in the receiving text - the latest build: .3162 should alleviate most of the common problems - if not, I need to know so I can address them please :)

Thank you for your support - it's a continuing effort for this project and I am very happy to create it - :)

The next few builds will include a seperate unicode version that should support MULTI-LANGUAGES - but it's a case by case test because I have no foreign langauge to test on - only Russian ROM. It will also include custom sounds and some more added features. I will build a seperate UI for PPC users - smartphone will still work on PPC, but I need to use some advanced features on the ppc-pro devices!

Thanks,

Windows Mobile 6 HTC Dash latest build. The SMS response cuts off after the close parentheses in an automated message. If there is some log file or maybe copies of the xml file that you need, let me know.

Also, it seems that it uses a lot of memory...... When I start it 3000K gone, and the more I use it, the more it takes. I am guessing that it is using pocket IE. Have you heard of similar issues?
[HTC Excalibur] IMSMS:
In terms of memory usage - I did not optimise it fully yet - however, there shouldn't be any memory leaks - this is after all managed code ;) But I do have some core libraries in use - I will optimise in later builds.

Archive the log for me - send me the .z file - I will investigate this.

Remember this is not final build yet - I still have to manage getting my audio streams to work correctly - they are what's taking alot of space/memory.

Send it to my gmail account please!

Being the typical guy, I just buzz by the error screen that appears..... I am guessing that the problem is with the number that is sending rather than the truncated message issue in the anonymous chat log....maybe. What is happening is using my regular SMS service on my phone, I send a message to a chat-bot on AIM. There is an automated message or response that I receive and it goes to IMSMS. Since the chatbot uses a short nuimber, ie. 123456 it is thrown into the Anonymous chat log, I receive the truncated message with an error message, I can no longer receive any other messages in the anonymous log file now..... I receive the audible alert, but no message. nothing new in the html or nml file either. In addition, I am unable to archive the anonymous chat log. I receive the error that it is empty. I must clear it, then if I can start receiving message in that log.....

Hope that clears it us as to what is happening....good luck on the why.

My ISP is down at the moment - I cannot upload two new revisions:

build .3170 for SMARTphone and PPC Professional edition (separate installer)

I looked into this and it is a logic whole in IMSMS - BUT I have traced it down to the problem and have written a tested solution in build .3170 I have sent this out to my user mailing list and they have confirmed it is now fixed!

I will post it online when I get a chance to - you will notice that everything is working as it should be!

Thank you,

DSO
[HTC Excalibur] infamous54:
still dont work :(
[HTC Excalibur] IMSMS:
Build 3170 will be posted -

I have looked into this issue - thank you for bringing it to my attention - I have traced it down to a logic flaw - and I have resolved it - I have sent the release out to my mailing list and some have already confirmed it is fixed!

I will post official release when my ISP account comes back online. I cannot upload at the moment - but I will try to attach here.

edit: I just posted the two installers in Post #1 of this thread. Download and try again!

thank you!
[HTC Excalibur] elconfa:
Hello. You have done a wonderful software. The version 3170 works fine, I'm only waiting for character conting when writing sms. THANKS

Massimo Italy
[HTC Excalibur] IMSMS:
Thank you for your support -

THE PPC version does include character counting! I intentionally left it out of the smartphone due to last minute bug testing issues - from now on, there will be two builds, one for smartphone and one for ppc users.

PPC users will get many advanced features coming real soon!

smartphone users will get a final revision 1.0 - since 3170 will cover most of the bug fixes (hopefully). Next milestone will be optimisations for the smartphone editions.
[HTC Excalibur] quiksand:
Is there a way to send a text message in your program without adding the number to the contact list.
[HTC Excalibur] IMSMS:
You can:

MENU SOFT KEY -> Create SMS

This will create a system SMS message that will not be threaded. Adding contacts is real easy. Check the contacts you want or check them all. Hit ADD soft key and you're done.

You defeat the purpose of having IM if you don't add friends.
[HTC Excalibur] quiksand:
True in a sense. Some of the numbers i use either change so often I never add them, some I only chat with for a few sessions and never talk to again, and I keep some contacts out of my phone for certain reasons and would still like to have threaded sms chats with them. I think adding contacts a removing them takes far more steps as opposed to sending a threaded sms message to those not in your contact list. I guess I'd have to use OldSaps program if i'm lookin to sms chat with numbers not in the contacts list. Thanks, besides what I asked about the program works great.
[HTC Excalibur] infamous54:
i just downloaded your lastest rom on post #1. i did that thing u told me to do in your previous post about adding my # as a contact and sending a text message to myself. still having the same issues.
[HTC Excalibur] MountainDrew:
Hey... I've just tried out build 3170, and it's working great.

It'll be fantastic once you get it to use the system sounds. The default sounds are a little harsh.

Also, is it possible to trigger the SMS icon in the title bar or update the system "SMS count" variable, in case the app isn't in the foreground? I don't want to have the 60 second reminders or app pop-up enabled (that would cause disturbances), but I would like to know at a glance if I have messages waiting. Not sure how hard that would be.
[HTC Excalibur] curtislanham:
I just upgraded to 3170. Thanks for allowing color changes in the options! I leave this app running on my phone 24-7. The only issue I have noticed since my original post is that if someone who is in my address book (that isn't checked as a friend in the app) sends me a message I get the alert, but I cannot figure out who it is unless I add everyone in my address book as a friend and scroll one by one to find the message. Not really a bug but more of a functionality issue I guess. But this, for me, is the greatest app I have come across.
[HTC Excalibur] surfing10:
That's awesome .. You have done such great job .. keep on it!

Congratulations for the hard work!
[HTC Excalibur] cswroe:
Still have the truncated message issue with build 3170. After the message is received in the Anonymous log file, I can not archive it to send it because I receive the "No Anonymous Chat Log exists" message, but it does since I can see the first part of the message.

Let me know if I can help in some way.
[HTC Excalibur] IMSMS:
The "truncated" messages is due to the previous builds messages left over - the new build will not do that. Your files are never deleted with each build revision unless you manually tell IMSMS to do so. You don't have an anonymous log file to archive because previous build had a bug which would not write to it if contact/mobile number format incorrect or contact is in phone book but not added to friends list. (see comments inside download zip of build 3170).

I have cleared out the bugs that was creating truncated logs as well- it will no longer be an issue with this 3170 build and future builds.

I am moving ISP's - file download is not available nor is the tutorial site. I'll repost when I get back online (~friday).

Thank you,

DSO
[HTC Excalibur] IMSMS:
Thank you - IMSMS is much more than just a small time sms threading app. It had SMS message management design from the initial design stages.

I will post new builds soon - on a new site - and it will have even more fully functional and tested features!

I just hope that the tutorial site come up soon as I need help in how to use this software, seems that my emotions don't work. I click one from the list but It does not enter it. If I enter :-) manually it works?
[HTC Excalibur] quiksand:
Do you have the program open when the text message comes in? If it's closed it will revert to the default sms system.
[HTC Excalibur] johndib:
Yes i leave the program running all the time I have A t-mobile dash running on windows mobile 6 rom version: 1.22.531.6 and i have build .3170 of imsms

Thanks!

[HTC Excalibur] 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!

Cab downloads please

Hey, would you please link to the .cab directly instead of the zip? I'd like to install it from PocketIE.

Thanks
[HTC Excalibur] IMSMS:
I will post up just the .cab file itself later tonite - I've had past issues where the ISP would corrupt the .cab file - that's why I have it compressed in .zip

---DSO
[HTC Excalibur] quiksand:
Here it is.
[HTC Excalibur] IMSMS:
I'd appreciate it greatly if you would remove all references to the .cab install files posted here - get them from the home site instead because I do not want outdated builds being posted here - nor builds that are not coming from me directly. Since these builds are NOT SIGNED, whatever you download from XDA forums is at your own risk -

Please remove and download from the home site. Both .zip and .cab originals have been posted already on the home site :)

Thank you,

DSO
[HTC Excalibur] quiksand:
Sorry about that. CAB has been removed.

I suggest to those wanting to use PIE, install a program that will open zip files (wmzip or resco explorer). Once PIE downloads, the zip file will open and you can access the cab from there.
[HTC Excalibur] IMSMS:
Thank you very much!! :)

I have posted in the XDA Hacking/Developers section - same thread - but for other non-htc s620 users:

[HTC Excalibur] IMSMS:
Build 5202 is out now (Custom sounds):

(do not use sounds that are more than 5 seconds - otherwise, you will be playing it for a long time!)

It's a critical fix - so for those who have not installed IMSMS, use this build version. For those that already have pre 5200 builds installed, reinstall with this version. See home site for release notes!

AT&T Tilt Issues

I installed IMSMS on my new AT&T Tilt this morning and had the following issues:

Friends list did not populate with my Outlook contacts

Preferences changes did not stick

Text messages where still received by builtin Messaging client and not IMSMS

Any help would be appreciated. The message software included with the Tilt just isn't going to cut it.

Thanks!
[HTC Excalibur] IMSMS:
HI -

I assure you there's nothing wrong code wise with IMSMS that will prevent capturing of messages. It registers the hooks needed to capture - there can be many reasons why it won't capture -

If another program that has run before IMSMS can cause messages to not be passed to IMSMS as well. IMSMS by default will capture all messages and not notify other apps of incoming messages. WIth the SMS NOTIFY OTHER APPS feature on, it will release the message to other applications. I cannot say for other applications doing the same when run before IMSMS is started.

Ensure that your phone is rebooted and no other apps have previously been run in the background before IMSMS is started.

PPC is going to get revamped big time. I see that there are many interested users on the PPC platform - I am going to rewrite some features and UI controls for the PPC platform specifically. So hang in there - the Beta 2 will feature new stuff for PPC users.

Build 5203 is for PPC and preferences should save just fine - delete your data.dat file if you are having issues.

Email me anytime for comments, suggestions, help, etc.

Thanks for your support,

DSO
[HTC Excalibur] gadgetshrink:
DSO -

Went to try the latest build and was unable to get the preferences to save. I've tried using the settings -> save data/settings as well as when exiting the program I select yes to save settings.

I'm using T-Mobile Dash flashed with Rogers WM6 ROM.
[HTC Excalibur] IMSMS:
Which settings did not save?

Thanks,

DSO

edit: just checked on 3 different HTC S620's, preferences stick fine. Attach your data.dat file here or send it to me via email if you're preferences aren't sticking. Thank you.
[HTC Excalibur] gadgetshrink:
Show emoticons, auto display when messages arrive, Sound Notification Alert.

Just in case something is screwy, by default, the only two selected were Play Incoming and Play Outgoing message sound.

I also did a reboot, removed the app, redownloaded, and reinstalled. Same result.
[HTC Excalibur] IMSMS:
Settings and preferences both stick fine - confirmed on the 4th HTC S620 device (Tmobile Dash) - you should send me your data.dat file so I can analyze for you - works 100% (I've had 3 different testers test this and it all works) - build 5202.
[HTC Excalibur] curtislanham:
I have found that settings do not save unless you have at least one friend added as a contact. I scratched my head for an hour or so until I stumbled onto the solution for this.

Also, I have noticed that if you clear your chat log the screen doesn't refresh the conversation to show a blank page. I have to switch to another friend and back before it is cleared.
[HTC Excalibur] IMSMS:
This is indeed a head scratcher - and also a head pounder. Most of the testers already had names added to their friends list - so they did not experience any problems - however, this should be resolved in the newest builds.

Builds 5370 PPC and 5270 Smartphone both have significant enhancement to the user interface when sending messages. It's really worth the update if you haven't already done so.

Thanks again for your contribution/Support!

I was ready to just assume I had the one 'off' phone that the program didn't work with.

DSO - Just an FYI there is no log file that is created when having my problem stated previously. I looked in the my documents=>IMSMS=>Logs

There is an Anonymous folder created in logs, but no data files. I also did a device search and came up with nothing.
[HTC Excalibur] IMSMS:
Which version are you running: latest: 5371 (PPC), 5271 (Smartphone).

It should all work fine - the logs will be there when you send/receive messages. THey are stored in the default path: \my documents\imsms\logs

OR the preferred storage path you set inside settings->preferences.

The anonymous folder is unused - don't worry about that one.
[HTC Excalibur] quiksand:
I figured out what makes the app crash on my device. It looks like whenever I receive an sms message from someone not on my friends list the program says fork it and quits. I had no friends listed sent a test message to myself and it crashed. Added myself as a friend and it worked.
[HTC Excalibur] gadgetshrink:
Running latest 5271 per the about page. Logging works fine once the friends have been added as previously discussed.

Anyway to have the sound options controlled with the system sounds? E.g When I put the phone on silent your app will still fire using the app-designated sounds. Problematic at times.

Also, I like that you have set up a reoccurring reminder sound option for when an SMS is missed. The other apps don't have that. Now if only there was a way to have an icon appear on the home screen when an SMS has not been opened.

Thanks for the work on this.
[HTC Excalibur] :
unfortunately i have a problem

it works find sending messages.

i can not receive them

i am using wm6 on my dash

can i get some help please ?
[HTC Excalibur] IMSMS:
Hi there,

Build 5400 is pre-beta 2 - it is a milestone release - and should give you a performance boost because some of the internal changes include caching which improves performance.

I will release today midday or so. Some testers are testing right now before I release it.

The icon has been talked about - for PPC, there will be balloon notifications and for smartphones, a vibration feature. THe icon may not make it to final build :(

The sounds will adjust according to profile settings - but for now, I shouldinclude a mute button :D

Thanks for your help gadgetshrink - I'll post up in a little while.

---DSO
[HTC Excalibur] IMSMS:
You can get help - which build are you running - hold off until 1.0b1-5400 is released.

I have been running the smartphone version for a long while now - many users have reported everything is running smoothly - ppc is coming along as well - please restart your phone - if you have problems after an update/install.

email me directly if you have questions please :)

Cheers,

DSO
[HTC Excalibur] :
hmnmm, that seems like the same version that's available on the site.
[HTC Excalibur] gadgetshrink:
DSO -

In case this slipped by your beta testers, I installed the 5290 build yesterday and noticed that now you cannot select custom sound files. It lets you select a directory 1x but then does not allow you to use the D-pad to scroll up and down.

Lastly, for future builds, I would love to see a way to know on the main screen who has outstanding text messages rather than just the 'Text Alert (x)' ...I think that is what it says now. For now, may even have it as a selectable option that when selected mimics the menu => alerts feature.

[HTC Excalibur] :
let me give more details to my problem so helping will be easier

ok, i downloaded the program yesterday

i can change the colors, i haven't tried the sounds

i sent myself a text message

and the regular mail application receives i but the imsms doesn't

when i reply to the sms via the standard app the imsms doesn't get anything

is there something i'm supposed to do different ?
