Can you see any messages on this page:

https://www.google.com/voice/m/i/sms
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] marcini:
like i said this part works perfectly fine for me, and i can send smss from my phone but i can't receive them
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] msullivan:
Your probably experiencing the issue that will be fixed in 2.1, coming soon.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
Hey Matt, in the next version could you fix it so that the on-screen keyboard stays up when you tap "Add from contacts"? I have to bring it back up every time I use it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rifraf1:
Notification Sound?

I have been using this app and it works great sending and receiving texts. I was just wondering is there an option or setting for an alert sound when a new text comes in. I get the icon in the taskbar and the popup on screen but I do not get an audible alert. I have a sound file set to each of the notification types and have the system alert sounds turned on but I never get an audible alert.

I am using a HTC Rhodium running an Energy ROM Cookie 1.8.5 Sense 2.5 in case that has any bearing. This is a great app I just wish the alert sounds would work for me.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
Hey Matt, Since iDialer is now open source, could you take a look at maybe changing it to use SSL to request the call back from Google Voice rather than using PIE as it does now?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] avd:
It doesn't work for me either. You promised an update. Any hope?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lude219:
I don't know if it's been stated already, but even after you exit the program, it's still working...somehow...in the background. How do i know? If i exit the program and disconnect my data, 5min later, my data turn back on. Uninstalling the app seems to solve the problem (of course). It's not even that big of a bug but I thought I'd throw it out there.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] msullivan:
Yeah, the program has a background process that checks for messages, to disable that see the settings.

There will be, just been very busy.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lude219:
Disable where?

Pull Inbox After Sending - check

Exit Compose After Sending - check

and everything else is unchecked.

I know that the program has background process that check for messages, but upon EXITING the program (even clicking the upper right X), I wouldnt expect the program itself to be further running in the background.

Maybe I'm just stupid and I don't see whatever setting you're talking about.:confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] msullivan:
The message check interval needs to be set to '0' to disable background checking, note that this will mean you have to do it yourself (by selecting "Check Messages"). I know that's not documented anywhere, sorry about that.

To me, using your GV's SMS features should feel like your normal SMS (since most of us are using it as an SMS replacement). I want to be able to see the messages by opening an app, but the checking itself should always be going on, to make the experience more seamless :) I think most people would agree that background checking even when the app is closed it absolutely a vital feature.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lude219:
Thank you for that explanation, Matt.:)

I wholeheartedly agree. I have unlimited data so trust me, i couldn't care less how much the background process is drawing nor is it even consuming that much RAM (if any at all). I was just curious thats all. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jeromebt:
I have the same problem, it was working fine, but don't any more, can send but receiving is not working.

Thank you
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] footbal9584:
Just do this, and all will be good again
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PUTALE:
i got a easysmsmsgchecker.exe crash every time I reboot my phone. is this a bug? (BTW, i have no data access, can this be the issue?))
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stab244:
Maybe. I have no idea why the creator of the program made it so that it checks for messages everytime you boot your phone (OP wanna shed light on that?). I know on my phone that it runs everytime I reboot my phone, but it doesn't exactly crash. Just turns on my data and keeps it open as it keeps trying to connect to Google's servers.

Also, what kind of encryption does Google use for the GV mobile site? When I try to access it manually, Opera Mobile is unable to open the site and says something about the encryption not being secure enough. But that's only when I try to access it on my non-existent data connection. On Wi-Fi or ActiveSync mode it works perfectly fine.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
You can turn off the auto checking in settings. It's very self-explanitory. If you don't want it to do it, turn it off.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stab244:
I did turn it off and it still checks for messages when I turn my phone on/reboot my phone.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
Delete the settings xml file in the Google Voice Easy SMS folder and modify the registry under HKCU\Software\GVEasySMS CheckForUpdates to be False and CheckInterval 0.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ltsmash4638:
I had been using this great program for the past few weeks, but maybe a week ago it stopped receiving text messages. People are receiving them just fine but the program won't update with new messages.

I'm trying to avoid having texts forwarded to my phone because my txt messages is capped (whereas my data is unlimited).

It just stopped working all of a sudden.

The "Send Messages Only" box is not checked. I can't think of any possible issues except maybe Google changed something?

Any help is appreciated, thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] karmadelic702:
I experienced issue unable send/receive messages beginning a few weeks back. Deleting the registry key worked. I am now able to send/receive messages again. Yay! Thank you!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
Matt posted a solution a few pages back. You have to delete a registry key. Read up a bit.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] msullivan:
Sorry guys I'm not dead, just REALLY busy. I'm working on the next version in my fleeting spare time.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
Hey Matt, you know what would be awesome for your next version... adding a "Call" option to the "Send SMS" screen.

You'd just need to send the request to call the number in the "To" field. See my attached screenshot of my vision.

You'd need to have the "Google Voice Number" of the associated account in the Settings. That's the only additional data element you'd need.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DRBEAN:
Mine not working it keep saying program encountered and error
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mrblueyzz:
Matt,

I have also started experiencing issues with this excellent app. and have had to remove it from my device. I realize you are extremely busy. Any idea when the update might be posted??

Thanks for taking the time to create such an excellent product!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pwninobrlan:
hey guys, I also keep getting an error whenever i check for messages.

"

Error

An unexpected error has occurred in EasySMSMsgCheck.exe. Select Quit and then restart this program, or select Details for more information.

Specified argument was out of the range of valid values."

I've uninstalled the program, deleted the registry and everything. Every single time, it crashes when i check for messages.

-brian
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stab244:
You probably have a blank text message somewhere. Go on your computer (or take your phone to the mobile Voice site) and find that thread and delete it. That should solve your problem. That's what happened to me last time.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pwninobrlan:
Thank you so much. I think this has happened to me before also, but I didn't remember what to do. The fix worked. =D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] techpastor:
first of all, awesome program! thanks for all the work on it. i've searched the whole thread backwards and forwards and i'm still running into this problem, not sure how to fix it. whenever i try to send an sms i get this error message "communication error: bad google account username or password. this erro may also occur if the program cannot access the internet. Also, be sure this version of Easy SMS is up to date, Google might have changed something on their end"

i've made some of the registry changes you've prescribed for other users but i can't find the reg key labeled "CachedAuthString". I'm using regedit and the first key in the string is a picture of a question mark with (Default) and under the data column it says "(value not set)" is that correct?

thanks,

~isaac
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] footbal9584:
Ok the "CachedAuthString" is for when it is updating but not pulling in new texts yet still sending them. This is not your problem, most likely your account settings are incorrect or your internet connection settings are incorrect. With your account settings you just need the username not @gmail.com . And for your connection settings make sure that under Start >> Settings >> Connections >> Connections >> Advanced >> Select Networks >> for the programs that connect to the internet you have the correct connection type for your cell phone provider.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] footbal9584:
Hey Matt I was wondering if there was a way to make the Dismiss button in the notify window be DISMISS ALL like it is with calendar events. I get alot of texts and usually just go straight to the program and then they pile up so i have to keep clicking each individual one and dismiss. Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pmxpmx:
This works perfectly on my Touch HD, (wm6.5.3)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] yandaxia:
very good~!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ironhead65:
I had everything working 100%. Great app! I'm not sure if it is just me, but I just changed my password from a 8 digit to a 28 digit.

Now I get the username / password error "bad Google Account username or password...google might have changed something"

I tried deleting the registry keys, as well as deleting the only .xml in the program's directory.

As it looks like you are holding the password in the registry using some sort of hashing, I think my LONG password is being mangled.

I'm guessing your first step is going to be to ask me to reduce my password length, then try again?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
Hey Matt, is there any way you could do a 2.1 release that just fixes the Google cookie error?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] soorms:
Trouble sending SMS

Hey, Love the app it's exactly what I've been looking for. But recently I've been getting this error:

I know you're working on an update, so I'm just making sure you know about this error. Unless this is a problem on my end.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] acke2008:
nice post and great app
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
You need to re-sign in and it should fix the error. It has to do with Google and an expiring cookie or something along those lines. Matt is aware of the problem.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] soorms:
Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure how to log out and log in. I tried saving different credentials in the log in box, saving, and then trying my real log in. Though, it didn't work. Is there something I could edit in the registry?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
Delete the settings file in the program folder under \Program Files
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] soorms:
Is the settings file EasySMSConfig?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
That's probably it. It's the only XML file in the GVEasySMS program folder. Sorry I can't answer your question directly... I'm using HD2 but I'm in Android so there's no way to look at the file structure of the device's internal memory.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] James62370:
Great app!! I just wanted to say Thank you and look forward to your next release :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] msullivan:
Hey everyone, thanks for the support over the last year. This app was a great learning experience for me, I enjoyed the challenges it presented and learned a lot in the process.

I've now moved on to and Android device (and if you are able, I encourage you to do the same!). Thus, my development and support are both officially finished. This application is wholly open-source, and if anyone out there wants to pick up where I left off, please do (under the conditions that the app remains open-source and you retain my name as an author).

Thanks :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] soorms:
Very cool. I may pick it up. I just got a job in C#, so once I learn some more I'll see if I can make it work. But I'm not making any promises, I'm not known for keeping big promises like this.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pwninobrlan:
Thank you for everything you have done! I can honestly say that you changed my lifestyle because of this little app, so a big thanks is really in order. I will be changing to a Droid in about 5 months so when that happens, i'll remember your name and pick up any of your future work. =D

good luck in everything comming up

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RedRamage:
Okay, so I've trying to run this on a couple of PDAs that I setup for my kids. Exact same PDA (ASUS a626, running Windows Classic 6.0). On PDA one, I installed the program, put in my kids' account info, try to send a text and I'm getting the message that the PDA can't log onto Google. On PDA two, I installed the program, put my other kids' account info in, and it worked perfectly. I tried swapping the kids account info between PDAs to see if I was typing acc't name or password wrong... no luck. PDA one won't connect with either acc't name. PDA two connects either either acc't name.

I read somewhere in this thread about there being a cookie that might be holding bad info. I tried uninstalling the program completely, deleting all files in the install folder. I also cleared out everything in the registry key HKCU\Software\GVEasySMS. But when I reinstall the program and try to connect, still get the same error.

Anyone have any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] azz777:
anyone has problem using the program lately? see no error message when checking new message, and no update pulled. I have tried to re-install the program but no go. any helps are greatly appreciated.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] T3h_Unkn0wn:
Alright I ****ING LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (sry bout language but i dont think there is anyway other way to explain how great this is!)

However, I have a custom ROM on my Touch pro 2 (sprint) and ive noticed that sometimes the keyboard just doesnt work... also i wish i had the option to check for messages every like half a minute (do not put .5 that is a bad idea trust me on this)

There are some minor problems and fixes i would love to discuss if the orginal creator would like to maybe squeeze out another update or someone else would like to pick this up.

Either way it works pretty good and I've been using it a TON!!

Pls add features : multiple GV , make Beep on incoming SMS

Hi msullivan,

Thanks.

If it can check multiple GV accounts &

Make a beep on every incoming SMS,

then such two features will be awesome.

And then this will be sufficient as an SMS client for WindowsMobile phones.

Can someone kindly re-program it to do that ?

I can't find the cab file link on his site any more but if you google "google easy voice sms 2.0" and select the softpedia web site, they have the cab file there.

you will also need the .net framework 3.5 that he has linked on the first post and on his web site

Unfortunately it has not been working for me lately and he is not supporting it any more. If you get it working let me know.

I can currently use PHP/MySQL to send SMS via HTTP to multiple phone numbers. The problem with HTTP is I have to reconnect to the Google Voice Server for every number.

Yes, you can install to storage card.

I'm sorry for your credentials issue, I'll look into it. All settings are in /Program Files/Google Voice Easy SMS/GVEasySMS.xml, delete that file and all configuration will reset for you.

ideas ?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stab244:
Awesome. Now someone just needs to make a tab for TF3D for this app. Great job man!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lude219:
does this accept contacts from SIM card now? Or will that be in the next release?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] msullivan:
Next release.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lude219:
thank you!:) Keep up the good work, I think it's an awesome piece of software :)

BTW, I was thinking, would it be impossible to set it up to receive SMS as well? Very much similar to IM apps like fring, beejive, palringo, etc., I hope this app would progress in a manner that you can send and recieve GV sms straight to your phone through data connection, thus rendering the carrier's txt plan completely useless and put a few bucks back in your pocket. =)

Merry Christmas, Matthew!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] msullivan:
Well the problem would be battery life. I'd have to issue a periodic check to Google, download the message inbox, compare that to what you've got on your phone, and then alert you. Those periodic checks would really drain the battery charge. It's floating in the back of my mind, don't worry.

Regarding SIM contacts:

I've just done some research and I simply lack the knowledge to integrate a SIM contacts list into this app right now. It requires a lot of weird invokes and native code to do, and quite honestly I haven't even been able to find a compatible code snippet that is complete and works correctly. I guess my only recommendation would be to add your top few SMS contacts to WinMo Outlook. Sorry :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sweena1:
Awesome job msullivan! tested it last night on my Touch Pro 2 and it worked like a charm for messages sent and received. Now at least I can save about 1/2 my texts by using this for outgoing messages. I'll keep my eyes open for any rev's...no problems to report. Great App!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lude219:
Well im not going to dictate who can do what with their phone :p, so if they're on 3G 24/7 or a videophile and drain out their battery within a matter of hours, that's their discretion. Similar to push, I think you can assign different time intervals for the server checks. If that's not enough, you can always add the option of toggling SMS received on and off.:)

Cheers.

Thanks msullivan got it to finally work! cant wait for the future updates

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] oogieboogiepoo:
more than willing to try debug. also not sure if this would help to know while making debug version, but i just noticed:

in netfront mobile browser on mobile google voice page, if i send a text message and (accidentally) try to refresh the page that says "Message Sent" it throws a 403.. i think because of the old post data ?

since your program uses SSL, could it be a problem with time signature ? like my devices time not matching with server so it fails ?

i dont know lol
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] famewolf:
If you set your incoming sms on your google phone to go to a push email account you can basically have free send and receiving of sms in USA....only problem I have had so far is web form's that want to know my "carrier".....and google is never a choice.

contacts are added <number> name;

also, the first contact listed gets the txt, but no one else.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] msullivan:
Dear all:

If you like the app and you want to support a poor college student in a crappy economy, I've added a PayPal donation badge to my website... feel free to click on it :) If you don't like the app then just grab your nearest Voodoo doll and don't click on the link below :P

http://www.mattslifebytes.com/?page_id=2

Thanks for the link. In 1.1 I added full character encoding when sending to Google (ie. a space becomes %20), as per Google's convention for sending messages. If they make the change I'm hopeful that the software will already be supportive of their change.

Interesting... when you say "stuck", do you mean it throws an error, or literally just sits there forever? Give Debug Mode a try, perhaps it can shed some light on the situation.

Good deal!
