is there an app that looks at your outlook calendar and say you have an appointment if you receive a call during that time, an sms is sent to them saying you are busy?

i know Bruce, developer of PhoneAlarm, is working on (or going to work on) a program to do just that.
there's debate right now about whether it should be in PA or a standalone, he's leaning towards standalone (with plugin for PA).

The most excellent SMS Notifer does exactly this, and it is free!

Threaded SMS App

Ok I have a question. Since PocketCM has its own threaded sms and looks good with the bubbles etc, shouldnt it be possible for someone to make a threaded sms app with that same kinda look and interface? I mean, pocketCM is nice but it wont pop up automatically for me when I get a new text and u cant do it like the normal messaging app having an inbox whereas using pocketCM u have look up the contact, go to it then click on sms and history and that seems like a lil much just to get to messaging and its only for that person. I'd rather not have scroll thru all my contacts just to get to one. The guys at PocketCM should look into making their iown messaging app
if they could set it up like the shogun threaded messaging app w/ fixed input so you could see what your typing when using SIP keyboard it would be awesome, it doesnt seem like it would be too hard, but maybe it is
Shouldn't be too hard. PocketCM automatically shifts upward when typing a new message. I really like the interface of the sms part of PocketCM. Does anybody know a mortscript script to bring pocketCM up on the "Contacts with SMS" screen? Or maybe a .lnk shortcut for that??
Good question....I am waiting such application asa well, since Palm messaging didnt work well on my PPC.
my sentiments exactly... another one who's waiting for a good sms theader..
I'm waiting for this one.... hopefully it's going to be ok have waited a long time, though. Maybe it's difficult to make such an application.....
www.iwindowsmobile.com
what about just combine the in and sent box?
I was waiting for such an app too, palm app didn't just do it for me. My brother bought an iPhone, i played around with it and i really liked the SMS App, so i decided to develop my own Threaded SMS. Currently i am working on it, but it's going a bit slow cause i dont have enough time to work on. I'll post it here asa i get an alpha ready.
Meanwhile if you have any suggestions or features that this app can have, plz dont hesitate to drop me a PM
cheers

i would love to see the inbox and sent box threaded on one screen, so there is no need to go seperate contacts in order to see who i've texted....

Uhm, that's not how PCM works. If it doesn't pop up automatically and you have it set to in the options menu, you should check with tene over at pocketcm.com. As for scrolling down to find who sent you an sms, if you just go to the sms screen, it will be the first contact at the top of the list. They're sorted chronologically. That's how most other threader programs do it too. If you've been scrolling down through all of your contacts on the main screen, you've been wasting your time.
just wait for wm6.1, its got a great threaded sms
the Cody threaded sms is pretty good, but kinda slow and laggy and the most annoying thing is that sometimes it just opens up by it self. Is there anyway to fix that?
does anyone know of any other good threaded sms programs? I tried cody's threaded sms, it opened on its own, sent multiple copies of messages, and sometimes didnt even send messages. I installed textr but it just froze my mogul. I dont like pocketcm or the sms app from pocket-sms.com because they arent fully integrated. does anyone know of any other sms programs that work correctly and fully replace the default sms app (like cody's threaded sms does)?
yea i have the same problem as you Sturatt. I have been searching for a good SMS app. cannot find anything. I really like the Cody's Threaded sms features and layout but it has too many problems and does not work well on my Mogul. I want a good SMS app that is similar to cody's threaded sms. Also I don't want to wait for WinMo 6.1 if it is ever released.
Please see itje's thread about the WM6.1 ROM he's scheduled to release this weekend. I think that's what he meant when he said just wait for WM6.1...
Windows Mobile v6.1 ROM due to be released by itje - Touch IT
oh thats good news. Thanks for letting me know, I cant wait now.
Extreme Text by Birdsoft
Has anyone tried Extreme Text by Birdsoft. Its not freeware, $14.95. But it looks simple and stable and you can use poutlook and it reads the same database.
Any thoughts?

exactly. More than anything, i want it to completely take the place of the default sms app (like palm's app). Threaded would be nice, but even if its not, ill settle for a program that just replaces the default app.

Vito SMS-Chat

Heey everyone,
I am using Vito Sms-Chat on my HTC Touch but i don't get a delivery notification after sending a message. Does anyone know if it's possible to get one and if so, how to do so?
Thanx a lot in advance!
Lau
Seems like this would be a better question to ask VITO. Did you check the manual?
I've seen this discussed in other forums and as far as I know there is no solution to the problem yet. Manually editing the registry to change sent notifications doesn't work. It's something in the program itself that disables the notification. You can, however, visually tell onscreen whether the message has been sent or not. As the message is sending, the icon next to the message is orange. Once it has been sent the icon turns blue.
Hmm, yeah i can only see if it's being sent or not. Well that's at least something! I contacted Vito about it but they just reply with 'download the latest version of the program' which doesn't solve the problem.
Thanx for ur replies anyway!

Indeed, and if it's not sent, it turns red
I have no problem sending SMS with my touch dual 16 key.
Im testing the Vito SMS chat now and I love it, there are a few problems though.
1.) Does not work with the slide out keypad
2.) Does not work with the software touch keypad
So I use the software touch keyboard, so its a two handed job all the time.
3.) It moves all the SMS to a different folder.
So vito needs to work on these three things.
and if they can add:
-SMS Predefined groups.

No problem. HERE you can find Vito SMS Chat!
It already has one but works differently. When you send your message, you will see the message "sending" icon by it. When it is sent, the icon will change to the "sent" icon. This is basically your delivery notification.
EDIT: whoah this is definitely an old thread... whoops.

Request: SMS retry?

It is annoying when you have little or no signal and you send an SMS only to get an unable to send SMS notification. It would be great if it could auto retry (AND get rid of the draft when the SMS is successfully sent).
Is there such a program? Couldn't find one on google or here.
Could someone make one?

Not sure with the standard messaging features but add ons like Vito SMS chat have this feature (resend) rather than searching through draft folders like you said.
I would like to bump this thread again. This can be a real annoyance and I can't imagine a skilled developer would take long to write an app to do this.

I completely support the statement that this is super annoying. Can't imagine why noone has tackled the issue so far.
I think many would appreciate this to be done..
so the app should always be running in the background?

Maybe integrated to the WIndows default SMS application?
i think the app should monitor if a new sms is moved to the drafts folder

But this would send even the messages you intended to move to drafts folder. like messages you intended to send later. but if it is not possible for now to integrate to the existing default sms app, i think this is an option. BTW i know you can do this oldsap, ive been using some of your apps since way back to the SAP era. thanks for that.

SMS 2 Calendar app

I have been a long time user of PhoneLog which logs all calls and sms messages into your calendar. Excellent app.
The only issue is that with 6.5.5 /Sense 2 it does not seem to log SMS's anymore
Does anyone have a similar app. It logs it in real time and ends up on my work calendar via Exchange active sync.
im not familar with anything personally, but it sounds like a cool idea and i would be interested to know aswell.
by the way... are you using the HTC Messaging Client or the stock WinMo one? i wonder if that would make any difference to the performance of PhoneLog.
Its a thought.
Messages are still finally stored in the Winmo messaging client. The HTC one is just a skin however the phonelogs triggers may be blocked by HTC.
working
Can this cab and it seems to be working again.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=556614
Thanks for the tip lamensterms
you say 'can' this .CAB? do you mean trash/ditch the .CAB, or use that .CAB?
ha ha, im not trying to be a jerk... just not sure if you had a typo or not.
i do use that .CAB seeing as i couldnt agree with the HTC client.
glad you got it going, now i think ill have to check PhoneLog out.
cheers.
Typo. Cab worked fine.
Phone log = http://www.infinityball.com/phonelog/
Now is logging incoming messages but not outgoing.
I have tried using threaded view or single message view. Same issue. Better thou.
Also Sense now fails to acknowledge that the sms has been read. That might be a deal breaker.
Is there a util which can back up messages to calendar once a day/week?

while using the stock WM sms client... it is a know issue for Sense to keep displaying the notification bubble on the SMS tab. i experience this problem very rarely (so rarely that it is hardly a problem for me). i think it might have been discussed in the thread where you retrieved zenyee's .CAB, but i cannot remember for sure.

after some quick google "research"... it seems there are other apps similar to phonelog available for blackberry and android... but phonelog may be the only one of its kind for WM.
here is a request on another (microsoft) forum - http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/outlook/thread/66e9160d-46ed-452c-91fa-6f3a6a88f86d
there are other folk out there who share your request. maybe some further integration could be on the horizon.
let me know how you go with HTC messaging VS WINMO.
cheers.

Visual Voicemail

Anyone recommend a decent visual voicemail app ?
I'm aware that t-mobile US do an app for android, but they don't seem to do it in the UK.
Any other apps that are recommended to do the same thing ?
I use Hullomail. Works fine. But the biggest problem is it gives you notifications only via emails. So if you are in an area which has no data connection, you would never come to know if you have a voicemail.
yeah i use hullomail too, its still a bit slow but they are actively working on it.
you can solve the problem of not knowing that you have a message by subscribing to free sms updates in your account, this will text you if you have a missed call or a voicemail.

you need to login to hullomail on the web and go to the notifications tab, there are two check boxes there which you cant miss, one for missed calls and one for voicemails.

Are you lloking on the hullomail website or in the app? because i'm talking about the website and inbetween the email and service info tabs is one called notification and the option for sms reminders is there. I have no tab for missed called on the website.
have you setup your provider? i'm with t-mobile possibly the service of sms is only provided in conjunction with them.

ok dude, i've emailed the devs to ask as they have been very helpful to me in the past when i was using a blackberry.
you are in the uk right?
yep, in the UK.
Thanks so much for contacting them!
For you, does the sms service work seamlessly?
yeah it all works really well.

Second that! Hullomail sms service works really well for me too.
Also no SMS option, in the UK
this is the answer from andy at hullomail, so you can email them ad they'll enable sms notifications.
Hullo Will,
Yes that is the downside of any data notification mechanism - can't wait for data to be the only carriage so we get 100% coverage .
We are balancing two issues with SMS, usability and expense. Our aim is to keep our service free so we've gradually been limiting the use of SMS as its the single most expensive element of running the service. Today HulloMail is taking over 2M messages a month in voicemails and missed calls and currently growing 20% month on month.
However saying all that we enable SMS on a per request basis -- it can be requested via [email protected]. We will be bundling SMS freely as part of a premium bunch of features which can be switched on and off via the mobile app as and when needed in Q3.
On the background thing we will be adding this functionality. We currently use a mix of web and native views but our plan is to evolve the message list to auto-update in the background -- bare with us on this one
I hope I answered all your questions.
cheers
andy
Thanks Kinkade!
Thumbs up for Hullomail here too.
I've just logged in and I'm fortunate in that I get the option for SMS notifications.
It's probably because I've been using Hullomail since the middle of last year.
Regards,
Dave
Yeah, the HUllo mail guys are awesome, they have always been really quick whenever i've queried summat.
apparently they are growing at 20% per month and process over 2million messages a month. thats the main reason for having to request sms notifications apparently its the biggest cost for them
