Hi mb286,

Thanks for developing such nice app.

I have posted an entry about this app in wmfreeware.net to share with others.

If you don't want it to be posted elsewhere please PM me and i'll take it down. :D

Cheers~

P.S: it's "our" not "ou" :p
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mb286:
thank you for your translation, aargh i must have forgotten those :( , i'm afraid it will have to wait for the next version!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mb286:
I have already looked into this and apparantly the program incorrectly handles WVGA as QVGA ! i'm working on this at the moment.

small fixes to version 0.5 beta

Hi all,

i have uploaded a new version.

this fixes the following:

Incorrect display on Touch HD device (eg 480x800 resolution)

Adds Exit, Delete all and About to the language section

version remains 0.5 beta
[Windows Mobile Software Development] jolas:
Thanks for correcting display, for Touch HD.:)

Now it is resized properly!

But, I have two bugs to report.

First, in main SMS list, the finger gestures are very hard to perform (the list is not scrolling).

Second, the application is not really closing when I select the exit option, using Memmaid it can be found in the running applications.

I really like Slide2Send, and hope to be ready very soon!:)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mb286:
The scrolling might be due to the screen resolution. I will look into this.

The application exits if i use Menu - Exit, on my diamond and in all the emulators. Do other users experience this problem?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] dancer_69:
Yes, I have these problems too. For scroling, in my device(iolite, qvga) the scroling is very slow and not smooth(I haven't more than 20 messages).

And the application doesn't close properly too. If I use a proccess manager I see the executable in proccesses list as many times as I run the application.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] aussiebum:
Confirmed, I have exactly the same laggy scrolling and application exit issues on my HTC HD2.

Currently using l3v5y's WM 6.5.3 28014 with Sense 2.5 (rom 2.01) custom rom.

Just one suggestion so far:

* Would prefer that Slide2Send uses the default WM task bar and bottom bars instead of it's own ones - is that possible? That would ensure better compatibility too imo.

Keep up the good work! Eagerly awaiting next release :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mb286:
Right, let me see if i can reproduce and then fix the above mentioned issues.

Regarding the program using it's own taskbar and bottom bar, this was mainly done for skinning opportunities but also for solving a technical issue regarding minimizing. I might end up making this optional and give the user the choice to have the WM bars or the program's own bars.

Thank you both for your input.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] aiiro:
I second to that - whether optional or not, I really need my WM top bar visible.

Haven't yet time to test this properly tho, will try to find time and report back. Maybe if I find more time I will try to sketch a logo/icon for the program, I have one idea for this. But so far I have been following the thread(s) and must say - excellent work!!!

Rgds.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mb286:
new version almost ready

hi all,

i have a new version nearly ready for release:

version 0.5.5 beta contains the following:

-WM toolbar is back, which means that the menu skinning options are currently discontinued and that minimizing the program can, at the moment, only been done by using Menu - Minimize

-Hopefully better scrolling

-bugfix: Program does not close properly

- some UI changes due to the WM toolbar being back
[Windows Mobile Software Development] DH-:
Okay here are my findings with a Samsung Omnia i900, official CEHJ2 ROM.

1. I'm totally in love with this concept. It's great to have a sliding interface for this, looks fantastic.

2. As mentioned here already, i would rather have the WM toolbar too. Skinning is not high on my list - the UI is nice, but can use some more "bling bling" :)

3. I'm experiencing the scrolling issue too, very slow.

4. I'm a threaded-sms-lover. In the near or far future, can you consider such a function? Would be lovely.

Any way: as you can probably read: i'm a huge fan. I will be following this app closely and will test every version, hopefully it can replace my VITO SMS-Chat soon, which is a bit heavy in my opinion.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] jolas:
Could you please replace the slider with the attached?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] wapvirus:
Great app I would always be happy to help with some nice buttons or graphics please PM me if any help is needed :)

This sort of thing ;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mb286:
new version

Hi all,

version 0.6 is released. I mentioned that this would be 0.5.5, but i have changed quite a bit so decided to make it 0.6

This version has the following

-WM toolbar is back, which means that the menu skinning options are currently discontinued and that minimizing the program can, at the moment, only been done by using Menu - Minimize

-Hopefully better scrolling, but it is still not perfect yet :(, working on this

-bugfix: Program does not close properly

- some UI changes due to the WM toolbar being back

- It uses the button suggested by jolas (if you want you can use your own slider button by replacing slider.png in the UI folder)

- send SMS to multiple known contacts option added

- some more language items added to the settings.xml

please see the first post
[Windows Mobile Software Development] dancer_69:
Thanks for the update.

Unfortunatly scrolling is still very slow and not smooth at all.

And the program still doesn't close properly. If I'm using exit button, it seems closed, but the executable proccess is still loaded. I must terminate it from proccess manager.

If I closed from task manager(without use the button) I get an exception error: "You cannot Pop the entire stack!".

I like the new button though. Can we skin and the bar with an image instead of the green and red colors?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] aussiebum:
Same issues here - scrolling and clicking on "Exit" doesn't actually close the app properly - have to use SKTools to kill the proc.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mebarg:
in omnia i900 the scrolling is of the messages is very very slow

starting time is very slow

and for me the slider isnt acurate sometimes i prefer buttons

thanks
[Windows Mobile Software Development] aiiro:
Maybe You can use the scrolling piece of code from iContact? It's open source, but I am not sure about the licensing details and use of the code. But it's worth checking out, it's quite small app, fast and smooth scrolling.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] mb286:
i'm at this point at a loss what is happening, i have tested it on my own device and on 6.x emulators and everythime i have no running processes left of Slide2Send when I use Menu - Exit.

Which taskmanager do you both use?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mb286:
Currently not, but that is something for the near future :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] aussiebum:
Ok, just to clarify - when I do Menu => Exit, the app doesn't show up in the Windows Task Manager anymore. However, if I fire up SKTools and view running Processes, I see a Slide2Send.exe. It looks like a hung process because if I fire up dotFred's Task Manager, that also hangs (I've known that particular task manager to hang on dodgy processes) until I kill that Slide2Send.exe with SKTools.

I don't think this should be an issue, but I'm running a ROM with WM 6.5.x build 28205 on my HD2 btw. Can send u running processes list if u need it to help u debug.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] dancer_69:
I think it's not task manager issue. I'm using fdcsoft task manager 3.1 and Wisbar Advance Desktop' s proccess manager.

The slide2sent.exe proccess stays loaded in memory. The program doesn't show in normal task managers, and you need a proccesses manager like the aboves or SK tools. For me fdcsoft task manager crashes when is loading the proccesses(this happens if I have previous ran slide2sent), which usualy means that something is wrong with this proccess(I have excactly same behaviour in the past with other programs that don't close properly).

The proccess manager of Wisbar Advance Desktop, just show slide2sent.exe proccess and I can terminate it. If I do that, after fdcsoft task manager start working normal again.

So I'm pretty sure that the problem is slide2sent.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mb286:
0.6 debug version for application close issue

i have attached a debug version of 0.6. if functions the same as the latest version but it will also write some dug information to a log file.

it will be written in the same folder as Slide2Send.exe and will have be called Slide2Send_month_day_year.log

if those users who are experiencing the close problem please use this version to test closing the application and then post the logfile? please also specify device type and Windows Mobile version information.

thanks in advance !
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mb286:
thank you both for your input, glad to have you both available as testers, because i am currently unable to reproduce this behaviour

i´m using fdcsoft task manager to test if any processes remain, and that does not appear to be the case,i'll try to use another task manger to see what comes up.

could you both please use the debug version and post me the log file?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] anikolop:
Here are my 2cent's from me (using debug version).

- Scrolling the messages are very very very slow:(, but in contacts it is nice and smooth:).

- Also in my device (jade) the application don't exit fully.

Where do i find the log?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mb286:
it will be written in the same folder as Slide2Send.exe and will have be called Slide2Send_month_day_year.log
[Windows Mobile Software Development] dancer_69:
Log file doesn't give any info

25/1/10 1:11:26 pm Menu - Exit used!

25/1/10 1:11:28 pm Exiting ...

But the proccess is stlill loaded
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mb286:
i'have tested some things with the demo version of sktools. when i start slide2Send sktools displays the process of it. when i use Menu - Exit, i can indeed still see the process. however, when i use Action - Refresh (in sktools) the slide2Send process is removed from the processes list. Which would indicate that Slide2Send has fully closed.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] dancer_69:
Ι tested it in my Ipaq hx2490 device, which haven't phone hardware, and the application exits properly. No proccess stays loaded in memory. So something goes wrong with the device(Iolite).
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mb286:
version 0.6.1 beta

Hi all,

found the problem of the scrolling not being smooth on the inbox screen.

please see the first post for the new zip of version 0.6.1 beta
[Windows Mobile Software Development] aussiebum:
Just tested the debug version - debug log shows the same message as what dancer_69 posted. And nope - Refresh in SKTools doesn't make the hung process disappear off the list.

Oh, and the 0.61 version still has slow scrolling on the main sms page, unfortunately. As anikolop says though, contacts is nice and smooth. Something weird going on here... -_-.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mb286:
Both your logs at least confirm that the close logic is being called...

Sorry to hear that scrolling is still slow on the inbox page, i really thought that i had fixed it :(. Is it less slow, or do you not even see a difference?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] DH-:
Let's see:

1. Startup time is very long. That's an issue that certainly should be adressed.

2. Scrolling in the SMS screen is for me still very slow. Contacts scrolling is great.

Will keep giving feedback on next versions :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] dancer_69:
Same here.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] hasseye:
looks great we need a new messaging screen....only thing gui wise needs adjustment is the slide and send images....they look lik they were created on paint....any way you can take exactly or similiar interface from slide to answer by htc...worse comes to worse you may just need to shrink it down a lil
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mb286:
new version

i have released 0.6.2 beta, please see first post

This version has the following

-second attempt of improving scrolling, please test

- some minor UI changes
[Windows Mobile Software Development] aussiebum:
Scrolling is smooth in the SMS screen now! Great work :D

App still stays resident in memory on exit though.

Some more feedback:

1) I can swipe left to bring up the Conversations/Inbox/Outbox/etc menu, but have to press the back button to go back. Any chance of swiping right to go back also?

2) The Conversations/Inbox/Outbox/etc menu doesn't use the entire screen in WVGA - is this intentional?

3) Any plans to use the concept graphics that Dickenz rendered back in the original post? (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3898791&postcount=134)

Let me know if u need more feedback or testing done :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mb286:
thanks for confurming that the scrolling is now smooth!

regarding the problem of not terminating completely, i'm suspecting that it is device specific, but i'm also still looking for the cause and solution.

regarding the remarks:

1) let me see what i can do :)

2)this will be fixed in the next version

3)I would like to use some of the images in the original concept, wapvirus is also supplying me with some nice images. Users will also be able to use their own images.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] DH-:
Typing this from my phone.

1. Sms screen scrolls great! good work!

2. When I sent an sms, the screen where I sent the sms from got stuck until the sms was actually sent. Maybe we need a background sending system. =)

3. I don't really know what the screen that I see when I slide to the right is for. If its for composing a new sms I think it needs different wordings. (Can anyone say what this screen is for? =) )

4. Strangest thing I've seen was right after I sent an sms. I opened the (built in) task manager and saw "slide2send" five times. Can't say what caused this. =)

Other then that I am seeing serious improvement and it's starting to look like a practical and user-friendly program which with a little more work might be ready for v1 within a month. I'm just looking for a way to donate right now. I'll have to look into paypal again.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mb286:
thank you for your comments;

2)it is correct that the form currently closes after the SMS has been sent. i'll see how this can be changed so that the form does not wait on this.

3)this screen is indeed intended for sending SMS, but perhaps the text "choose message type and contacts" doesn't exactly cover it, maybe just "Send new SMS" is better

4)What device and OS do you have?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] DH-:
Samsung Omnia i900, WM6.1, CEHJ2 Firmware

error when opening sms

Hi MB,

i encounter this when opening sms.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mb286:
exactly when does this happen, durin the initial opening of the program or when you have selected an sms for viewing?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] hotty1177:
OH...this was happen when selecting sms for viewing.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] aussiebum:
Hullo mb286, just some preliminary feedback on S2S 0.7 beta.

1) Noticed can swipe left to get back to "main" inbox screen from the Inbox/Outbox/Sent Items menu, but can't swipe right to get back to main inbox from the other menu with the radio buttons?

2) Clicking on Sent items / Inbox / Outbox / Deleted Items doesn't show any messages. Not implemented yet I assume?

3) Would be good to be able to adjust the kinetic scrolling settings like I can in Nitrogen (ie. Refresh Interval, Initial Speed, Deacceleration, Minimal Gesture, etc)

4) Sure this has been mentioned before but Conversation mode would be nice :)

Other than the above + the usual Slide2Send not exiting properly bug, no other issues. Keep up the good work :)

EDIT: Probably a useful find for you - I noticed that S2S 0.7 exited properly after I'd sent a sms! So basically, if I start up S2S but don't send any SMS, it "hangs" when I click on Exit. It *doesn't* hang on exit if I'd sent a sms first. :confused: Anyone with the Exit issue might want to try and see if they have the same result?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mebarg:
hi good work nice to see this project moving forward!!!

two things

1) starting is to slow

2) we need conversation mode, is imposible to mantain the millions of sms i have in normal mode

thnks

pd you can increase the area where the slider detects the actio, sometimes i canot reach the edge and have to slide 2 o 3 times
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mb286:
1)that is something i did not include yet, coming soon

2)It is implemented, and i confirmed that it works on the emulator and my diamond. strange that there is nothing displayed on your device.

3)i'll put it on the wishlist.

4)i'm thinking about how to implement this, stay tuned

interesting find about the exit problem, i would also like to know if other users can confirm this
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mb286:
thank you for your comments

1) i think performance will always be partly depended on the number of messages that need to be displayed, but i think that there are still some things i can do to speed up startup

2) i am working on implementing this
[Windows Mobile Software Development] okan22:
great application

a little report using the last version

on my asus p552w to start needs a little bit more seconds against windows application..

there isn't the possibility to send message to an unknown number

for me it's very difficult to slide in every direction don't know why but it's not very simple to do that

another things also for me would be nice the other folder ( sent.. )

also some more configuration

in contact's maybe also the possibility to see the numbers
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mb286:
slide from left to right, on inbox view, to bring up the send sms form, you can then select unknown contact

What exactly do you mean, you are (also) not able to view the sent items? you must slide from right to left to bring up the folder view and you should then be able to view messages by selecting a folder
[Windows Mobile Software Development] okan22:
:p:p

didn't know there was the possibility to see that menu !! thanks very much working perfect

little bit slow :rolleyes:

forme would be nice to put the time in the preview of the message

another thing if i tap on menu i prefer the exit button first not the minimaze!!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] hotty1177:
HI MB,

I've found out that if you tap or select sms for view with contact picture thats were the error comes out.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mb286:
let me see if i can find out what is going on
[Windows Mobile Software Development] michyprima:
for full terminating the app try Process.GetCurrentProcess.Kill :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] lopez1_de:
maybe email in the future?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] wapvirus:
Can i ask a silly question how do i get to this screen folders ?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mb286:
you have to swipe from right to left in the inbox view :)

Thanks what a tw@ I am :o

small update

hi all,

just a small update that i'm currently working on the conversation mode option for Slide2Send.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] wapvirus:
This is turning into a must have thanks for your hard work and i look forward to your update :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mb286:
expect version 0.8 in the next day or two :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] spy1983:
i am waiting for a fast stable release.

I need a good replacement for WinMo SMS, especially fast and finger friendly UI...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mb286:
version 0.8 beta is out

Hi all,

version 0.8 beta is released, please see first post

This version has the following:

-conversation mode, this currently works as follows, sms messages are grouped by contact/number and send/recieved time, the last send or recieved message is displayed first. if you select a message it is either opened and the details are displayed or a new list is displayed that shows the conversation history. you can then again select a message and the details will be displayed. a red arrow indicates a send message to a contact and a green arrow indicates a recieved message from a contact. Conversation mode can currently only be turned off by setting the <ConversationView> item to 0 in the settings.xml

-program icon

-some small UI changes

-some bugfixes

-refresh option in the inbox menu, just in case it is needed

This version is still slow if many messages are in the inbox, i am working on a possible solution.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] wapvirus:
This version crashes before start

Invalid Type Request

Do you want the full report here ?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] hotty1177:
+1 got QVGA resolution.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mb286:
that is not what i was expecting,yes please post the full report if possible.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] wapvirus:
i hope this helps :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mb286:
it has already given me an idea of what the problem could be.
