S.O.S: Sending sms at specific time!

Hi all!
I need a program that allow me to write an sms and set a specific date and time when it will be sent!
Is it possible?

Sorry this isnt a reply but i think that this sort of program would be so useful, i mean you can do it with MMS as standard but why not SMS, i would find it so useful because the misses always gives me trouble because i forget to text during the day, well with this my troubles are a thing of the past :wink: :wink:

Take a look at http://s-k-tools.com/skschema/skschema.html

Just search for SMS, Schedule
Or look for O2 SMS..
And why use S.O.S. in al your subjects? I think it's realy annoying! What's next? People adding "I NEEEEEEED YOOOOOOUR HEEEEEEELP!!!!!!!"
Before you know it we need a filter to get rid of the junk that people add to their subject.
If you post a problem will be on the top of the list, so people will read it!

Thanks guys! :wink:

Send SMS From Contact List

Is there a hack or application that anyone knows that will allow me the option of sending a text to a contact from the Contacts list (instead of having to open the contact, scroll down the numbers etc etc)
So I would be able to press the Menu key and it appear in this list as Send SMS...
Many thanks

It is already there...
I'm using the AKU 2.3 Rom but I can't remember it not being there even in the 1.8 Rom that mine shipped with.

Vijay has a nice tool to do this here:

If that's not what you're after you can always add a line in the Notes section of a contact like this
smsnnn)[email protected]<recipient'sCarrierDoman>
(Carrier Domain example: @mymobile.cingular.com)
with a space and/or line return after it (but no spaces within), and it will show up as a selectable link. When you tap it the SMS app will open with the number you're wanting to text to in the appropriate place.
G'luck

Thanks for that but neither of those is really what I was hoping for.
I use sms more than phone calls and find it kind of couter intuitive that I can see the contact and dial it from the contacts list, but in order to send a text I have to find the contact open it, scroll down to the SMS number then send the text. What I was really looking for was a way to put an extra entry in the menu list allowing me to "Send SMS to contact" seems a bit silly that I have the option to send a media message but not an sms (given the relative ratios of SMS to MMS that the mobile operators handle) unless it is an attempt by Vodafone to get me to send more non bundled MMS instead of the huge number of bundled SMS that I have.
Whilst I love the functionality of my new handset I really do miss the more object orientated funtionality of my old Sony Ericsson

Missed this post, sorry.
That would be really useful, but I am a bit of a woose and don't want to wreck my phone and Vodafone haven't released the 2.3 ROM (from what I can tell).
I will do a search through the forums and figure out what I have to do to upgrade the ROM and then I'll have to take a gamble on whether I am brave enough to proceed.
Thanks

I s'pose I'm more of the old school, as I use my phone more for calls than text messaging. And in that regard I've been pleasantly surprised to learn how easy it is to do so.
I hope you find a solution, especially given the cost of the device!

I mainly go to inbox, Text Messages, type a few letters of the persons name, and their number pops right in. Am I missing something?

I'm thinking that this option was always there for me. Maybe Vodafone removes it from the list intentionally?
You can always try doing a hard reset (or clear storage) and then stop the vodafone customizations from installing by soft reseting when it says "installing customizations in 3 seconds".

Will give this a try when I have a quiet moment (and have made an inventory of everything that I will need to reload).

Software Pls: SMS Filter

bad situation: Sweetheart erroneously receives an SMS from you that was meant for Honey.
solution: Read and re-read your messages before sending them, and verify that you arre sending to the right person before pressing SEND, but we are only HUMAN, and we make mistakes.
software to the rescue: A SMS editor program that FILTERS your messages and decides wether your message is really meant for the person you are sending the message to.
how?: you assign keywords to contacts and it is saved in a database that the program accesses, for example, you blacklist the words "honey" and "baby" from messages you send to SWEETHEART, so the database will look like this:
Sweetheart-(Blacklist: honey, baby)
Honey-(Blacklist: sweetheart,baby)
Baby-(Blacklist: sweetheart,honey)
so when you type the message "Goodnight Honey" then SEND to SWEETHEART, the program evaluates that this message should not be sent to SWEETHEART and WARNS YOU and DOES NOT PROCEED to SEND the message, but if the message is "Goodnight Sweetheart" and to be sent to SWEETHEART, the program evaluate it as valid, then proceeds to SEND the MESSAGE to TMAIL.EXE (the REAL SMS program for final sending)
objective of this program: WORLD PEACE, actually just peaceful and harmonious living, hahaha. because wrong sending of message is eliminated.
other uses of this program?: you can blacklist the word "FAT" from being sent to your very fat friend, because he feels insulted by the word, or you can blacklist "PORK or PIG" to other people who might feel offended by this word.
Men and Women alike would like this program, although some would not admit it, they would really find a program like this very useful. hehehe.
So now the question: Can some programmer do this pls?
I can do programming for PC, but i havent done Pocket PC programming, i think all this program is an INTERFACE with the user by providing TEXT EDITOR, the evaulates the TEXT, then PASS the information to TMAIL.EXE.
CAN SOMEONE DO THIS?
thanks

reserved for flowchart....to help programmer if there are any takers...

Should be possible... I'll be happy to take a look when i have some time..
But ... i'm pretty curious what "inspired" this idea

nice app! and Mr_Gee, maybe simliar inspiration was used in your SMS Password app

haha lol
The strange thing is my girl also looked through my messages the day before
I wrote that application... so it was also a bit of personal gain

This is what i whipped up, please note the sending is not working yet...
give it a go and let me know what you think...
to begin click on menu>app. options>import contacts
rescan when the table is filled hit OK
Next manage blacklist
select the name from the dropdown list, add the blacklisted words
for testing i used pizza, banaan (its dutch)
thats also why there is already some text entered in the message are
(i forgot to remove it when i compiled the app )
Once the blacklist is updated hit save and close
in option screen click save
go to menu>add recipient and select the one you've just updated the blacklist for, next write a text, with or without those words and see what happens.
From the testing i did the logic seems to work...
please note, the blacklisted words need to be written without spaces and seperated by a comma
e.g. hello,mikey,banana
also Pizza is not the same as pizza...
let me know what you think..
On a sidenote, the application also needs a name
i was thinking along the lines of
- Stupid Me (what you usually think after sending the wrong person an sms)
- doh! (tribute to Homer )
- LifeSaver
- LoveSaver
- SMSLifeLine
but if you have a better idea please let me know
-= Attachment removed =-
please see next post

will test it, LIFESAVER could be a good name, but it what it does is save my ARSE really, hehehehe.
what i usually think after sending to the wrong person? "OMIGOSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" then comes the cold sweat, then the customary call from the recepient then 2 days of explaining, hehehe.

what inspired this idea? clearly... is to help my friend who has a lot of girlfriends...hehehe. he tried calling them all HONEY...didnt work
suggestion, converting all text in blacklist and in message to ALL CAPITAL LETTERS before evalutaion could eliminate the difference between Pianp and piano, also, replacing "," or "." or symbol characters with "<space>," "<space>." or "<space>symbol" could help blacklisted word next to symbols. thanks man.

Thought about it, but i think it would be easier just to write the 2 versions,
currently the application checks for the word, if it doesn't find it it checks both <word>, and <word>.
another problem is that I have the program check <space><word><space>
(thats why there cannot be any spaces in the blacklist)
the reason is that if the blacklisted word is Piano and the spaces aren't there it would flag Pianoman as a blacklisted word

youre right, is a beta program available that already sends? hehehe.

not yet, hopefully tomorrow

will be waiting thanks, by the way, what proggy are you using to make this software?

New version, should be working (e.g. sending stuff)

thanks, will be testing this as soon as i find a way to get this on my SD card or phone, im at my work pc and all my tools are left at home. eg. sync cable, bluetooth, card reader, wlan card.

Did you find the time to check it?

yup tested it,
first test, import contacts then manage blacklist - done
insert recipient - done
typed text without a blacklist word - done
send - wont send, send button just reacts but it doesnt do anything.
typed text with a blacklisted word - done
send -no reaction, no sending or warning, button just reacts but doesnt do anything.
thats the result of my test mr. gee. thanks.
edit edit edit,
now this is funny, i thought nothing was done when i press send, but BOTH messages with blacklisted word and not were sent to the FIRST person on the contacts list. hehehe. talk about preventing sending to the wrong person, no harm done, but funny.
the first person in my contacts list replied to me with both text that i sent that was supposed to be for an intended recipient. the texts were intended for a person 'L' but was received by the person 'A'.

great idea
sounds very interesting ... but is there a programm for filtering/screening incoming messages aswell?
e.g. you recieve a message from a special person and you don´t want that s.o. hears it but all the other recieved message should ring as usual ...

for incoming filtering, i think there is a program for that already.
check link: http://www.zedsoft.net/
but for outgoing filtering, this is the current idea so far.

thanks for testing Paul,
I'll take a look at the application, not sure whare the issue is..

This is really good idea.... Keep up the good work
I remember that I was out for work and than I sent SMS like: I was cool, thanks.... to my girlfriend (doh!)... And real trouble started

Please help: Unicode SMS problem solutions

As everyone who tried using T9 and non-ascii characters you probably are aware of the, let's call it, *Question mark glitch*.
For anyone not familliar with this, the problem is that when ha the "Use Unicode when necessary" box unchecked and inserts a non-ascii character in a SMS message, the recipient receives question marks.
There seems to be no built in solution. Checking the box implies avoiding Unicode, which is painful when using T9 in some languages.
OK, now let me explain why I'm posting in this forum.
I'm doing a research on available options to create some simple app, which can help with the above. The ideas are:
1. A background application/service, which would intercept outgoing SMS messages and strip any Unicode characters
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This was my first idea. Unfortunately I've had hard time finding a viable solution. As long as sending and intercepting incoming messages is easy, control over outgoing SMS doesn't look too good. The CEMAPI is a pain but I may be missing somethig.
2. Another idea is to remap the Send softkey to own logic, which would strip Unicode.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This seems an eay, higher-level approach to the first idea. If anyone would find this a good idea, do point in the right direction. Specifically in remapping the softkey (all I was able to find was rempping Today screen softkeys).
3. One last idea is simply to create a replacement SMS messaging app.

Many of those exist but I'd very much like them it to nicely integrate with WinMo and TF3D. Is that any doable?

Man, this forum is so alive
*bump*

Why are SMS messages being logged?

Does anybody know what SmsListener_log.txt in My Device/Temp is? It keeps a log of all text messages even after they are cleared from the deleted items. Can it be disabled?

Heh, I also just found this file and wondered what it was from and why it's there.

Any ideas?

Not on mine. 1.66 stock.

Not on mine either, Stock 1.66.

Hmm, that is weird, I have it too.
Running the Stock USA Tmobile ROM. Definitely seems like it's Sense related since it's written is some type of code/interface.
It doesn't really bother me, though i could see why someone would be upset by it.
I wonder what would happen if someone were to delete the file.....

I have it too, 12.5MBs.

I am running a stock T-Mobile USA rom. I have deleted the file, but it reappears when there are new text messages.
No big deal, but if I delete a message, it would be nice if it were really deleted.

Hehe, I'm wondering what T-Mobile was thinking when they implemented this in their ROM... "Lets just store every SMS in a separate file" ..?
Sounds to me like a conspiration...

cant someone try to write a "lets bomb usa" text, make up some plans and send it to your own phone, then wait a few minutes and see if the feds shows up? lol

I found a way to disable this log:
1. Open the registry editor and navigate to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Svc\SMS\Rules.
2. Delete the following value: {54F38CD4-B778-28BA-6F63-2D942AFCCD7D}.
3. Soft-reset.
Notes:
This GUID represents a CLSID for the messaging rules client in \Windows\SmsListener.dll. I do not know what exactly it does, nor do I know what other messaging rules clients referenced in "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Svc\SMS\Rules" do.
Messaging rules client can move, modify or even delete the incoming message without owner's knowledge. It could be that TMO included this SmsListener.dll to be able to control our phones through SMS. Or may be I'm just paranoid. It would be really nice if someone could reverse engineer this dll to see what it really can do in certain circumstances.

Thanks, deleted entry, will see how it goes.

Not on mine, O2 1.43 Rom

maybe they will knock on our doors here in norway for finding out about their conspiracy and stuff...
bare å løpe over til sverige eller noe nå!! hehe...

I have deleted the registry entry as mentioned above. So far so good-no log of text messages taking up room.
Is there some sort of temp file cleaner for the HD2, similar to CCleaner for a desktop?
Thanks for the help.

Nobody felt the need to ask your service provider why the hell they're logging SMS to a seperate file?

good registry find

Do you think they will really be willing to tell you that even if you're able to reach someone who knows?

Interesting. I don't have this log either.

i have it along with a screenshot (have no idea why the phone takes random screenshots)...
