Hey guys, a quick update:

- Yep, I'm still alive and working on this, and all is well. I'm going as fast as I can ;)

- About AppToDate support: it's something I honestly didn't know how to correctly implement and didn't want to take the time to learn before releasing 1.1; will I add it? Yeah, eventually. Will it be in 1.2? Depends on how long it takes me to wrap up 1.2, I know a lot of people are REALLY wanting it, so I'm just focusing on the most needed features first.

- ObjectDisposedException: is pissing me off because it's coming from System.Net.HttpWebRequest and not actually any action from my app, as far as I can tell. I'm looking for any reason this is happening, or some form of a workaround. Also the biggest problem is that I've never been able to reproduce this on my own device or a development emulator, which makes figuring it out a lot harder, lol...

If any of you have ideas about it, feel free to let me know!

- Famewolf's que system idea: I like this idea a lot (holding off sending until data connection available). I'll see what I can do.

Also a HUGE thank you to everyone who has supported this app by donating. It's greatly appreciated :)

Version 1.1 has been downloaded 2,581 times and is used on 1,670 WinMo devices. Thanks so much for everyone's use of my little app :)

(the automatic check for updates keeps count of how many devices use the software, in case you are wondering how I know...)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cablehead:
I'd declare the Webrequest request that is bombing out as a member (form level) variable.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
Any update on version 1.2?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] msullivan:
Umm the retrieval and parsing of messages is finished, the only thing really left is setting up the GUI and the function which actually tells the program to wake up the phone and ask Google for new messages.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
Will the retrieval be optional if the user wants to use Push Gmail for incoming messages?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] msullivan:
Yes, the program actually has two separate modes, full suite (SMS send/recieve) and a light mode (just SMS send). You'll be able to toggle which way you use the program in the settings.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
How will the program notify the user about new SMS's? Is it possible to have the option of using WinMo's SMS count in registry so programs like iPhoneToday can tally totals of unread SMS messages?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
How will the program notify the user about new SMS's? Is it possible to have the option of using WinMo's SMS count in registry so programs like iPhoneToday can tally totals of unread SMS messages? Then if you could modify WinMo's setup to use GVEasySMS as the default SMS app, it could take care of all SMS-related tasks in the entire system.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] msullivan:
Notifications will use the same platform built into the OS as you any other message (new e-mail, SMS, etc). Having the option to modify the SMS count in the registry will be looked into, but I'll want to test it thoroughly to make sure it doesn't break anything important.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
Yeah... obviously you probably couldn't use WinMo's SMS registry count if you use Google's SMS and the standard SMS but if you only use GV for SMS it seems like a good little add-on.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MusX:
nothing changed last month about that?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] eclsnowman:
I am so excited about v1.2 I could piss myself. I have told/shown so many people about this app. I love 1.1 and 1.2 should be awesome. I can't wait to get messages this way instead of forwarding SMS to my Gmail and clogging it up. You are a gentleman and a scholar.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stab244:
Awesome. Can't wait till it can receive texts as well. That's the only thing that's stopping me from using this app full-time.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Veritech:
Hopefully also you can implement masking the PIN entry with *'s when viewed so if you have friends/family that borrow the phone sometimes it's not in plain site if the program is opened up. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] eclsnowman:
Just checking in. Any Updates on the progress? Not trying to rush you, just excited about the software.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hindibuff:
Anxiously awaiting the new release where we can send and receive sms via google.

I hope google implements MMS as well, then this app would rock even more.

Lastly, I hope an auto-start is implemented as an option in this app, as I would like for this app to autostart whenever I reboot the phone.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] klasital:
Can someone please send me an invite for google voice.

nehcul@gmail.com

please please
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
MMS is not supported by Google Voice, so it's not possible for GVEasySMS to support MMS. Use email.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zinconnu:
I'm waiting for google voice in france. :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
sign up for one at the gv site. it only takes a couple weeks to get an invite.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hindibuff:
Hi,

Yes, I understand that google voice does not support mms at this point. My original post was wishing that google voice would someday support mms and not that this app should. But no harm done. Its all good and waiting anxiously for the 2.0 release.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
Yeah. I use email to receive my SMS from Google Voice so it's really easy for me to just use email to send and receive pictures via my phone. You're right... if Google could enable MMS that would be pretty sweet.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] msullivan:
If Google were to add MMS I'd do my best to add it ;)

Also the new version will probably be renamed from 1.2 to 2.0 to reflect the large overhaul of the program. So instead of constantly e-mailing me and asking when 1.2 is coming out, you can now start asking when 2.0 is coming :P

(which, by the way, should be sometime between now and March 1)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
Sounds awesome!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hindibuff:
hey! So when is 2.0 coming out?

haha!!

You DA MAN!!

PS: When I see the upgrade here, I am going to start the 1.1 in my phone to see if I get any notification to upgrade there. That would be quite awesome as well.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] msullivan:
You may or may not; the updates system is only supposed to check every few days.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] msullivan:
It's certainly jagged around the edges, but this evening I got a very rough cut of Easy SMS 2.0 working on my Touch Pro 2. There's still a lot of tweaking left to do, especially around the automatic message checking, but as of now I'm still on target for a release right around March 1.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hindibuff:
Awesome. Looking forward to it. I have a Tp2 as well, let me know if you would need help with beta testing.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] eclsnowman:
Glad to hear 2.0 is coming along. This will be the single best app I have added to my phone yet. I am using 1.1 with delivery over gmail for now. But a real viable sms replacement will be amazing. It's about time for us to show the phone companies we know about their dirty little secret (that sms is the equivalent of a digital fart and the rates they charge are sickening and should be illegal). You deserve a metal for this one.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] msullivan:
By the way, the new version supports gesturing, no more crappy scrollbar use for those of us with touchscreens ;)

Well... if you already had 6.5 then there's no difference. But if you have less than WinMo 6.5 it should work...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jianwu_chen:
Password is not hiden

Thanks for the great application. I tested it, works very well.

One security issue, I noticed the password in the google account setting is in plan text. Which is quite dangerous. If I lost my phone, of somebody just play with my phone, they will got my password easily. And this password can access almost all my google applications, including email which should be very confidential. Could password be hidden?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] msullivan:
2.0 removes the plain text and instead shows (censored), but it's still on the phone itself regardless. Pocket Outlook also saves the password to the phone in plain text.

If you lose your phone you should immediately change your Google account password. If someone knew where to look they could have it in less than 5 minutes from Pocket Outlook or my app.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
Maybe you could save it in the registry rather than the XML or something. At least it would take a little effort for someone to find it.

So I have a question too. Is it possible to somehow use GoogleSync to receive SMS from Google Voice? I'm wondering how immediate you'll be able to receive messages. GoogleSync supports push email which is pretty immediate. Would this App somehow be able to utilize that? Maybe you could write some filter for Outlook or something to move incoming Gmail push SMS's from Google Voice to a seperate folder or something. I don't know... I'm just trying to think outside the box.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] msullivan:
You could copy your SMS to your inbox, then push them to your phone (I'd imagine a lot of people do this... I would, lol). You'll be able to set any check interval you'd like; I've tried to make the process as battery efficient as possible, so at the end of the day it will be completely up to the user to find a good battery life / check interval trade-off.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hindibuff:
I think you can already do that. In Google Voice, you can setup an email address (also) to deliver the SMS messages to. My setup has it going to gmail. If gmail is setup for activesync, it will push the email (SMS) to the gmail inbox. Although it wont show as SMS but email, but you dont lose any functionality. You can simply hit reply to that email and it will go back to the recepient as an SMS. you can then carry on a converstaion without any problem.

If this is what you need, the current version works perfect. Just check exit after send SMS in the settings and you are set. Send the first text via the app and the rest via email.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
Yeah I'm using Push Gmail to get instant SMS notification from Google Voice too... I just wanted to know if we could somehow get it separate from personal email. My Gmail account is my primary email account plus my Google Voice account so it gets cluttered.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] msullivan:
I've posted a video over on my site that highlights the features and what the UI looks like for 2.0, go check it out:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hindibuff:
awesome

please include option to autostart app on windows reboot (simply place a link in startup folder would be another option)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] msullivan:
The auto message checking background process will auto-start; however the main app will not. There are reasons for this though.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
Looks awesome!

Trying V1 out now, very handy, good work. Looking forward to trying v2.

Does Version 1.1 of the app work on Tmobile Dash

I installed .net compact 3.5 and then installed the Version 1.1 of the application. It installs succesfully however, it crashes with an Error "An unexpected error has occurred in GVEasySMS.exe".

Is version 1.1 expected to work on Tmobile Dash (excalibur)?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] msullivan:
Version 1.x series have lots of issues, just wait until 2.0 is released and see what you get.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
Any update?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] msullivan:
Just getting some bugs worked out. Also I have to completely overhaul the way settings are saved, as my old method is now causing issues with the automatic message checking (lame!). I know everyone's excited, I'm going as fast as I can :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lesterhung:
cannot save password

I am using it, but run into a problem.

I input the wrong google account password on the first time. Then I try to change it, and click on "save". When I open the settings again, the password is back to the old one.

Closing and opening the application again also doesn't save the new password.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] msullivan:
Delete /Program Files/GVEasySMS/GVEasySMS.xml
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] likeminas:
So when is the new version coming out?

`
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] msullivan:
Never! Muh hah hah hah hah!

(whenever it's done)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] likeminas:
yea, that's why I'm sticking to the web based version.

I need to keep track of my conversations, and this app is not cutting it me for me at the moment.

nice concept though.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lesterhung:
What web based version? Do you mind to share?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Brassua:
I think he means the actual Google Voice mobile page on the web! ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
Yeah... but the web-based version sucks. It's too hard to add a contact from your contact list in Opera/Skyfire/PIE/etc.

Google Voice Easy SMS has been a godsend for me. Saves me $20/month in T-Mobile Family Text Messaging.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lesterhung:
Does this still work?

I tried to send couple SMS. But no one received it.

The app does say "message sent", so I assume it connects to Google just fine.

I am inside the USA. The telephone number format I use was xxx-xxx-xxxx.

Going to Google on my regular desktop browser, I can no longer find the send SMS button inside Google Voice.

Can any confirm the SMS function still works.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
The "Message sent" notification without actually sending it is a known bug. It could happen if your Google Voice account is not setup correctly. Make sure you don't put in the @gmail.com in the username field. That's what fixed it for me.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] msullivan:
The software automatically removes @gmail.com if it sees it; honestly it was probably a coincidence :P

@lesterhung: hold out for a few more days, the new version is almost here that fixes those issues
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] frmariam:
I just hope Google globalizes the service soon :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
Hey Matt,

Since Doug Melton's iContact is open source, maybe you could modify it ever so slightly to interface with your GVEasySMS 2.0. Have it send a command line parameter to your program (ie: GVEasySMS.exe -17143214567) when you tap "SMS" within a contact. Your program could then take that number and fill in the matching contact name and phone number in your "to" field.

iContactBurtEdition does something like this already but I like Doug Melton's version way better.

Just trying to think outside the box.

-David
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] msullivan:
Doug has been in contact with me about such a feature. While I'm not sure what the status of it is, I do believe he is working on it, and I've provided him the information he would need to interface with Easy SMS.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
That's great news! It would make it so seamless and smoothe to be able to select contacts for GVEasySMS using iContact.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] msullivan:
I'd be ready to release if I could fix just one last issue. Have a look if you know some advanced stuff about Compact Framework 3.5 and waking devices:

http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Fo...t/thread/40934788-2bf9-495a-8bfa-d781a10877c7
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
I don't know much about coding, but if I don't want to wait for Doug Melton to finish his new version of iContact that will work with EasySMS, what is the format of the parameters I would need to interface with EasySMS?

From Doug's iContact source in PhoneUtils.cpp:

CreateProcess(TEXT("tmail.exe"), tszCommandLine,
NULL, NULL, FALSE, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, &pi);

StringCchPrintf(tszCommandLine, MAX_COMMAND_LINE,
TEXT("-service \"SMS\" -to \"\\\"%s\\\" <%s>\""), name, number);

I'm assuming that if I modify CreateProcess(TEXT("tmail.exe"), tszCommandLine, NULL, NULL, FALSE, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, &pi);

to point to:

\Program Files\Google Voice Easy SMS\Google Voice Easy SMS.exe

and modify:

TEXT("-service \"SMS\" -to \"\\\"%s\\\" <%s>\""), name, number);

to include your parameters, I can then re-compile the source and it will send the SMS contact info to GVEasySMS rather than Tmail, right?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] msullivan:
You would need to call \Program Files\GVEasySMS\EasySMSPlugin.exe with the first argument as the phone number to send to.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cablehead:
Matt,

I battled with this problem for days...

The most reliable way to wake the device is with OPENNETCF library.

Checkout LargreIntervalTimer.

Not all devices fully wake with usernotifications...

I have run the LargeIntervalTimer for more tham 10 hours without a glitch.

You will also need to get Power Notifications (mucho code out there) and on Device _Wake....set the drevice to FullPower to make sure you can connect etc. Again, devices vary.

Your next problem will be sleeping again(after message check) if the OS woke the device... Telling the difference between a User initiated wake and an OS wake(using the LargeIntervalTimer)...is a *****. But it can be done.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
So \Program Files\GVEasySMS\EasySMSPlugin.exe -1234567890?

or \Program Files\GVEasySMS\EasySMSPlugin.exe 1234567890?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] msullivan:
Any chance you did it successfully and have a code example?

@SecondsFade: \Program Files\GVEasySMS\EasySMSPlugin.exe 1234567890
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rapax:
So I have a bunch of reference sites that I need to be available even when I have no 3G or wlan connection. That means storing a copy of the site on the sd card and then opening it locally in the browser. For some reason though, that doesn't seem to be possible.

I can open it in the html viewer, but that doesn't provide the functionality of the browser.

Can it really be that such a basic function as 'open file' isn't available in the Android browser? The mind boggles.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heldc:
the super-user file browser's html viewer is better than the system one. It's still not opening html files on your SD card in the ACTUAL browser, but it's a step up.

Also, if you manually type in file://path/to/file name.html, it works. pain in the ass if you've got long file names, but it works.

got it today, it's up and running like a champ! was wondering if anyone had some app or customization tips for me while I wait for the ROM chefs to catch up. I've heard quite a bit about mobile shell, is it worth it?

So far I have found the phone to be very fast and smooth, the keyboard is almost too big but I'm getting used to it. The touchscreen is very responsive, easily as good as the tilt2 I tried out, though as I've seen others opine, it's best when using fingernails I think. I'm still getting used to navigating the OS right now though.

Any word on when this phone might get dedicated forums like the others?
[General Topics] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
Congratulations on your new device! Unfortunately, XDA-Developers is an HTC device forum, and therefore won't create dedicated forums for non-HTC devices. Every device on this board, including the Sony Xperia and both Palm Treos, is an HTC, and I doubt that the HTC-only rule will change soon. However, most of the apps here will still work fine on your eXpo, and you're still welcome to discuss the device in places like the General Forum.

indeed mine is on the way. and i'm sure spb mobile shell 3.5.1 will be one of the first few things i try out on the phone. and i'd like to check out touch response and i'll probably put chome and reStart on depending on what build of 6.5 it comes out of the box with. i hate not being able to arrange my start menu the way i like. chome and total commander really help with icon changing and subfolders. i'd look into those if you want to mod. id also check out advanced config tools. all those should work on your 6.5 smartphone without a problem

meh

Do I need to unlock it before it is dumped? I'll do it if you have a walk through or some instructions that you can point me toward.

Well, I spent all last night and every spare moment at work playing with the device. Installed Bing, Skyfire, Opera 10, and a few others. I made it through the day without needing a recharge. While the hardware is great, I like the heft and size very much, I think the software is still a bit rough. There's a lot of reduntdancy, and it's not as finger friendly as I'd like, even some of the newer apps, but the sensor and arrow keys and the finger nails have managed just fine. All in all it feels as though the software in general could use some optimization.

My only complaint so far is that the touch sensor isn't quite as good as the one on the new blackberries, but it works. I'm starting to get the hang of Winmo 6.5, there are some quirks with the back button that I can't tell if it's Winmo or the LG software, but the apps work with it fine.

I tried out the camera and I can safely say it beats the pants off my old G1, but that's not saying much. It has auto focus and white balance, as well as a really nice touch control interface, and the flash is powerful.
