BTW I forgot to mention I'm using an HTC Touch Pro with the latest official ROM

Personally the refresh issue its not that big of a deal for me, I just unfilter a contact, text as usual and then filter it again :)

While testing the hell out of SMS Filter I just discovered this, don't know if it's any help.

(prepare for long post :p)

I sent myself a SMS, notification popped up, I opened SMS Filter and read it. Tried sending another sms while app was open and I did not get it withing the app, I had to close the app first.

Now, I opened the app (without sending myself an sms first) and while it was open I sent one... voila! Notification popped up and received the message within SMS Filter as usual!

Problem was, the message did not appear under View Messages -> New messages at the bottom of the page, I had to go to View Messages -> Choose Contact -> View all SMS from in order to view it.

Unfortunately, this happened only with the first SMS I sent while app was open. The rest, I had to close the app in order to get the notification and view them.

So I did the following. Sent myself an SMS with the app closed. Got the notification, opened the app, went to View Messages, tapped on the message at the bottom of the page, read it and tapped OK. Sent another message while app was open, I got the notification but again, the SMS could not be found under View Messages -> New messages. Once again, I had to go to View Messages -> Choose Contact -> View all SMS from in order to view if.

I suspect that the fact that new messages don't show up under View Messages -> New messages somehow makes tem queue up outside of the app, waiting for the app to start in order to be refreshed.

Sorry for the loooong post, but I just had a lot of free time today to test this wonderful app :D

And time for a question/suggestion! Is it possible to make SMS filter also hide inbox SMS from filtered contacts, and un-hide them when I un-filter the contact?

In example, I just texted ~90 sms from a contact. So normally, those messages show up in inbox as usual, even when I filter the contact. What I'm asking about is automatically hiding those messages in inbox when I filter the specific contact, saving me the hassle of deleting them, like i.e. Horizon does on android.

Although I suspect it's more of a WM restriction than

PS: Just to be clear, I'm NOT nitpicking your app! You have saved me endless hours of embarrassment both in my personal and in my professional life :D

It would be nice to be able to restore CSV file. One more time, thanks, Mohit for your support.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mohitsapru:
created a quick app to restore the csv back into the store.dll. didnt test it fully so

take a backup of ur original store and then test it.

Unzip the exe and place it in the same location where you have installed the SMSFilter.

Run it, choose the csv you want to restore...DONE!!!

Letme know if this works or if there are any errors.

Thanks,

Mohit
[Windows Mobile Software Development] woaloo:
Hi Mohit,

I've just try your utility, but it doesn't work.

I've got a framework error.

RestoreCSV.exe

IndexOutOfRangeException

à RestoreCSV.Program.OpenCsv()

à RestoreCSV.Program.Main(String[]

args)

here we are !!! ;-)

PS:It seems to work with older files...more news tomorrow
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mohitsapru:
hmm as i suspected... :) well did u change anything in csv file?? and when this error came up?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] woaloo:
No, I didn't change anything in the csv files, Sometimes it working, and sometimes it crashes. Maybe it depends of file size...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mohitsapru:
one more thing.. after you run it wait for some time till it updates the store. there wont be any notification so give it some time.

Hi mohit,

and Happy new year !

I've migrated to android...Maybe, i'll see an Android version of SMS Filter. ;-)

I would like to thank you for all your wonderful job and for this nice software.

Woaloo
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mohitsapru:
A very happy new year to u too Woaloo... njoi your new android and thanks for every suport during my apps development. Sure will see you around..

Thanks

Of course yes mohit ... ;-) I'm still there

Hi mohit,

Great product! You're rock!

I'm using it on Palm Pro, touch screen is not good enough there.

Is there a chance to add keyboard support to user interface? It'll incredibly improve user experience for people who primary use keyboard to operate with phones.

Anyway, the product is great!

Thanks,

Alex
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mohitsapru:
Thanks Alex, for trying it out. Well don't know how it behaves with physical keyboard. I have only touch screen phone. Maybe i will some day post the code online so that people could contribute or make it better.

Thanks,

Mohit
[Windows Mobile Software Development] RoyIT:
thank u

Hi mohit,

first of all after read all 49 pages of this thread is to say really thank to u for your work !!

I really appreciate it ;)

more... i have 2 things to ask u.

1)if i want only the windows notification and not that smsfilter icon appears on the taskbar how can i do?

2)on the replay section it could be possible to have a word counter? to let know us how many sms we are sending?

I hope to receive your news :)

still thank u an bye

[edit] i can add that today for the first time i got my first sms doesn't send from the sw if i replay an sms...instead if i do from "sent sms to a phonebook contact" the sms is received...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mohitsapru:
Hi RoyIT,

thanks for using it...

well for your questions

1. We cant show default windows notification on message arrival. The only thing which is possible, is that it wont show any notification at all on arrival of a message and that can be done from the settings section.

2.Yes this could be added but as of now i have not touched its code since the last update. and i am planning to put it on web. Maybe then u cud see and request a lot of things.

Or if i get time i wud put this update.

Thanks,

Mohit
[Windows Mobile Software Development] RoyIT:
Well sorry for your first answer maybe i did mistakes writing my question, but it wasn't what i mean :p

Since now i get 2 notification when i receive a filtered sms, the baloon with the custom message that i can set using control panel of your software and more...a blue icon of your program in the task bar.

If it is ok...i was asking u if there is a way to receive only the baloon and not show the blue icon on the taskbar, just this, i hope it will be more clear now ;)

for the rest well it will be really a pleasure for me to try your new update ;)

Hi mohit,

woaw, it's a BIG news...what about the future of your app ?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mohitsapru:
Made it open so that it can be improved, in case anyone is interested. Did this for my own learning and experience so code is not optimized. I will be active and hopefully others also join it

Hi Mohit

I switched over to WP7 from WM6.5. Been using your application in WM6.5. Great software, extremely useful. Any chance you can develope a WP7 version as well.

Thank you.

Dear Friend

Nice application
[Windows Mobile Software Development] VladimirVSh:
i tested it, i use it - very usefull tool, THANKS!

But, if You dont mind, i shall offer a few positions to improve:

- Login screen: set the focus on a "Password", and open InputPanel

so I can type only the PSW and OK without other types

- FIRST screen after login - "View SMS". Not the "Filters, SMS, Settings" screen - it can be in "menu", or some buttons else :)

and there are the screen with new messages! not the settings or a new filters, that only hint at superfluous opportunities :))

- "Choose contact": select it from last input SMS, or last sent address

i can view the history list from the last contact. If not from the last - still need to select the pulldown menu, but I have only one :)

- if you could offer "Chat" structure for sms list - it would be great!

thank in advance!

Vladimir
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mohitsapru:
Thanks Bonusbartus,

yes this is so obvious as you need to search a part of message so you need to specify only a word that should fulfill the filter criteria, eg.

u need to filter all messages that contain word "Bank" and remember it is case sensitive... u add message filter "Bank", and it will filter meesages which have this word anywhere in the message even "Banking" will be filtered.

I hope this answers you

Thanks,

Mohit
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Bonusbartus:
Damn you are quick ;)

but yes that answers my question ;)

maybe an idea to be able to put filter words in a txt file or something and then make a function to import these words?

Thanks,

Bartus
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mohitsapru:
:D Thanks Bartus,

hmm that suggestion will take me to basics...the one with which i started these things ;)

Sure that can be done.

Right now i am working over some other features, so may be i can add this one also ;)

Thanks,

Mohit
[Windows Mobile Software Development] woodrow_hills:

This application works well with Touch HD and Topix 3.5 Sense 2.1 whereas the HTC messaging alternative doesn't - at least for me. I don't like the HTC messaging anyway.

Nice to see something that works like Secret SMS etc. of years ago.

Thanks mohitsapru, fantastic program.

2. Added context option in Filters tab to add rules from a text file

3. Option to reply in View tab(Context menu), the reply wont be stored in sent items

4. VGA display support- Need to confirm

Please read the first post, before installing it
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mohitsapru:
Ny comments!!!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] bernabap:
I do not think we have much to say besides thank you! Your SMS Filter at least for me it works perfectly. I tested the two new options, add rules from a txt file and the reply option. They worked as they should!

btw thanks for repositioning the "ok" button!

What happens if I forget my password? How do you reset it. V3.0 still has some screen sizing and graphic issues on the touch pro 2. Just letting you know. Ill post screenshots when i get a chance
[Windows Mobile Software Development] bernabap:
Delete "Store.dll" from "\Program Files\SMSFilter\" maybe you have to install again.

remember that the old password is NOT compatible with this new version (v0.3) if you are not able to use your old password read the first post for instructions!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mohitsapru:
thanks bernabap for pitchin in :)

Yes if u r running v0.3 there is no way to recover password, and in case u forget the password, u need to delete the store.dll and with it every thing goes, password, messages, filters... and next time u start the program it will automatically create the file again and will ask u for a fresh password. No need to install again.

Thanks,

Mohit
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mohitsapru:
Thaz what i wanted to hear... thanks
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Bonusbartus:
You are great,

the txt import function is working perfectly, as is the program itself ;)

exactly what I was looking for ;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] woodrow_hills:
Hi mohit

V0.3 works perfectly. Only issue so far is that it does not fix the 480*800 screen resolution of Omnia ll.

Hope you can made some adjustment to fit. If you need someone to test it out, I would be glad to help.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mohitsapru:
This looks funny :)

I will let u know by a PM to test some modifications.

Sorry Sir, it's still the same. Any other modification I can do.

Thanks for your help.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] lssong99:
Great app! like it. However found one bug, a small catch and a question:

1. Bug: In the View Tab, when use delete to one of the message, all other messages in the "Message From" drop box will disappear once you select them. Exit then re-open the software then messages not deleted will come back.

2. Small catch: When delete a message, IT WILL RE-APPEAR IN TMAIL SMS "DELETE" section! thus become public! Maybe better just to nuke it to null...

I know it's not suppose to delete messages from a "secret message storage" however, if it's a private SMS it should stay private even after deleted! ;-)

3. With notification, can I have a "silent" notification? I set up my (regular) SMS playing no sound when receive (only a SMS icon will show on status bar). However, when I use the SMSFilter notification on filtered SMS, it always makes a sound. Which setting (even in registry) could disable this sound and only shows the icon of SMSFilter on status bar (with addition to notification toast)?

Anyway this is a good program!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] bernabap:
I'm not having these problems described by Issong99. My messages are deleted normally without disappear any other, and in my "Deleted Items" nothing appears!

But the 3 question he has also interests me, also can not disable the sound notification. I already went into Settings -> Personal tab -> Sounds & Notifications -> Notifications tab -> and removed the notification sound from "Messaging: New text message" and "Messaging: SMS Delivery recei..." but I still have sound.

You know a way to get rid of this sound?

Thanks man!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mohitsapru:
I havent noticed this... just for my information did you upgraded from v0.2 to v0.3?

Edit: just did a quick check...there seems to be a bug... thanks for finding it out :)

This thing is totally impossible in case the message is being deleted from the app. Could you please cross check this, by verifying if the private messages are going into the deleted items on arrival...

Yup thaz true, and this is a system sound, i dont know if i can control the sound from regstry but may be i can add other kind of notification.

Thanks for trying out
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mohitsapru:
Then maybe i need to figure out something else
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mohitsapru:
Could you guys just test this out... I have fixed the bug and added option for a silent mode notification

Extract the exes into ur installation folder
[Windows Mobile Software Development] bernabap:
Mohit, I tried and I'm having this error when receiving a message:

And the message does not arrive in my box.

If you want to just put here that I'll test again!

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mohitsapru:
bernabap could you attach the snapshots to the post as the link is blocked in my offc :(
[Windows Mobile Software Development] bernabap:
Snapshots attached!

Mohit, as the 3 .exe you posted did not work I went to install v0.3 again without uninstall anything before and now when I receive messages I have no sound, but also no notification on the taskbar. I only see my wait cursor running but the message arrive normally. So it seems to be working now, but need to work on taskbar notification. I thought this might help you!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mohitsapru:
My bad, forgot to add one dll :o

u may install the previous one... rules and messages will remain untouched...however u may take a backup of store.dll,

I will post the dll in evening or if somehow possible in 2-3 hrs as i cant connect my device to my office machine :(
[Windows Mobile Software Development] bernabap:
just edit my previous post ... but it seems you already know the problem.

i am attaching the misiing dll, you use the previous zipped files with this dll

Hi mobit.

I tried v0.4 but the application is cut off at the top (see screen shot of v0.3 & v0.4). This application is great and hopefully you can rectify the screen resolution problem. Btw any other Omnia ll owner using this application has the same problem.

Could it be possible to choose in contact database instead of typing the phone number...

Is a french translation is on the road, I can help you if you want. your software is very useful ;-) .... It replace mobiion magicall twice better !!! lot of thanks

Thanks for your answers

Do u mean that it is cut off from top or just the display is not resized?

Typing a phone number?? where??... u mean in the rules section...

I would suggest u to install the zipped files in post that i have suggested to other guys , i am not able to find time to merge changes and create cab, i have stopped late nights ;)

Translation i never thought of... maybe next time... i will PM u in case i need help... or will make it configurable...

Regarding notification the zipped exes and v0.2 above have a new option where in u can enable disable and make notification silent just check out the menu
[Windows Mobile Software Development] woaloo:
Thank you for your answer

I mean, the display is not resize, and I can see TF3D at the bootom of my screen when your app is lanched.

Typing a phone number is when I define rule, in contact filter and I choos ADD...

I'm going to try with this files, and I'll tell you.

No problemo !

I'll give it a try
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Rie888:
i was able to install it on my htc diamond doing some testing now and loving it! suggest to change the color combination, the green and light yellowish of the filter screen is kinda strong. maybe chrome/black/white combination is good or any subtle color will do.

thanks again for this awesome program! i did not use my wmphone for months because the SmartSMS app im using for peace of mind is not working on 6.5 but your program gives me the reason to go back and use WM!!!

yes woodrow_hills, i know that you are really looking for better GUI in it, but i gotta some work so i m not able to look into it, if nothing is possible i would create it for a different resolution, right now i want it to automatically resize.....

MOHIT:

I can say nothing but, BIG HUGE THANK YOU !

Do you know that Windows Mobile 6.5 Scene has the Least "USEFULL" Applications out there? that deals with SMS, that is really BAD.

But I have some Suggestions in Here, that I think plp haven't thought about earlier but now its time to PUSH THIS BEAUTY TO ITS LIMIT:

1. The main purpose of Having a PRIVATE/SECRETIVE SMS, is their Nature, Obviously, Okay thats good, but since we are Talking about those PRIVATE SMSs, Shouldn't there be a way to "BACKUP" those Important SMSs?

To make it easy on the eyes, first suggestion is:

Include a Backup/Restore Setting, TO BE USED AFTER ROM UPGRADE/DOWNGRADE

2. HTC Messages is PITA, even when I MUST use a Rom with it, I immediately install Zanyee Disable HTC Messages v1.2, then DISABLE threaded SMS.

This way I still can use PIMBackup to restore my SMSs after a ROM Upgrade

So, the Catch here is suggested to be as Follows:

Enable the Use of PIMBackup, to Backup and Restore those PRIVATE Sms the normal way BUT:

I know that this means that you should DROP the Encryption

Okay, Who the hell is gonna Brute-Force the Encrypted SMS file on a Phone? and is this even Feasible?

3. a Nicer GUI as other users suggested would be a REAL Beauty

4. Could it be possible to choose in contact database instead of typing the phone number? as one of the user suggested, THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!

Just a basic thoughts

I will definitely BUY it, if it went on Sale after implementing all the above mentioned features.

I love you work very much, till now (2010) no Software Developer came up with an App that can do what yours' are Doing.

This is Simply great!

Well Done

Will
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mohitsapru:
Hi Will,

thanks for all those nice thing you said about the app :) appreciate that.

Now abt the suggestions.

1. Backup.

Do you mean backup should restore the sms back to the SMS Inbox??

2. GUI

I am working on it... hopefully you will see the totally different GUI if everything goes well

3. Contact Database

Yup that can be done :)

4. Paid app

No i wont make it a paid app :) but donations are welcome :D

Thanks,

Mohit
