is there only phonealarm?

in order to manage missed calls, incoming notifications emails and sms,
are there others apps?
i use my magician since few weeks and i have to say that altought ppc s.o. could make many things, there are not good application to have simply phone functions..... : (
am i right?
my goal is a good screen locker, locking pda also after a missing call (standard lock wakes pda, screen and buttons are active);
good sms manager: big screen and big fonts when a sms arrives;
manage sms and mms sounds separately from other system sounds.
which app do u use for manage phone, sms and profiles?
can u advice me?
thanks in advance

photo contacts pro

For profiles and different sounds I use PocketZenPhone.
The one and only good screen locker is ScreenGuard in my opinion.
For your SMS and MMS issues, I don't know a solution. Maybe there just is no because the phone API of Windows Mobile is not completely officially documented from what I've heard.

I have tried most of them outthere, but have to say that PocketMax PhoneAlarm is the best ( IMHO )...

yup, PhoneAlam for me

i'll second this. For photo contacts pro v4, there's profile for your ringtones such as 'outdoor, meeting, silent & etc' apart from the individual ringtone assigned to your contacts and photo id.
do a search on aivanet or iphone-forum.org

Threaded O2-SMS Working on Wizard (well on my 8125 at least)

Somebody cracked/hacked the OS SMS app and posted it over on PDAPhoneHome:
http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/showthread.php?t=70428
It's working on my 8125 so far. It's kind of limited (all notifications and SMS related events still open the Outlook/Text Message app), but if you're having a conversation with one person it seems to work nicely.

o2sms
i have been using this program and its great, i keep it minimized so when i get a text i just hit the icon and just use it for my sms. the only problem i have is i wish i didnt have to manually open the message so that the notification goes away. i have been looking for a reg hack that will still notify me via tone and vibration when a text comes in, but doesnt sit in the notification area. i aslo use pocketplus which allows you to preview texts and reply from them from the today screen, and right now im kind of torn between the two.

Hmmmm...I'm not using PocketPlus and I can also preview text messages and reply from the Today screen, are you sure that's not a WM5 attribute?
But you're right, it would be nice to have all the alerts, and default SMS handling go through this app, and I know there are some developers working on just that. But until then, this helps a bit.
I only use it when I get a message that I expect to turn into a conversation with lots of back and forth dialog. Most are ask/answer/done or just informational, but a few I get during my week I can pretty easily tell will involve several back and forth points. Other's text usage may not be so clear cut so this partial functionality is not good enough.

O2SMS
I am using the wizard and used the O2SMS programs for a few months. I often use the program to send to a group. I notice sometimes that while sending out to his group (1 by 1) the program will stop sending and close. Does anyone else have this issue..if not any suggestions to fix
thanks

screenshot please

I've used O2 SMS Plus also, but I must say that Palm Messaging is more, if not fully!, intergrated in the "system"

yes
i love palm messaging

Software to record number of SMS sent?

Hi guys n gals,
Anyone know if there exists any software that will allow me to c how many SMS i have sent each month?
Cheers in advance,
Immortal

pocketMax PhoneAlarm can do just that. It was meant to control your phone profiles. But comes with a powerful billing tool too. Can calculate your monthly bill and customise the billing including SMS send/receive cost, free minutes, monthly charges, credit limits, peak cost, offpeak cost, etc etc.

thnx for the suggestion, i tried it but didnt like it much, too complex for my liking, i only want a simple solution!
Thnx for the heads up anyway!

DKToday counts your minutes and sms. The other features can be disabled from the options. You can configure it by going to start-settings-system-today-items, click the today plug-in and then tap options. Very small and easy solution. I have attached the current version, but I don't remember if this version has the exe file in it or only the .dll. If the latter is the case, then search this forum for the thread "is there a call minute timer available for" in the Himalaya forum and get an older version from there, than replace the dll with the one in the file I attached.

Cheers Koksie, thats what im looking for.
One question, any idea on how to dismiss a missed call without dialing it again?

Hi ImmortalU, I don't think this is possible. At 0.00 it automatically starts a new day and then your missed call disappears... You can however try to disable the line that shows missed calls. If you go to the options menu op the today plug-in you can choose which lines to show. Possibly disabling one of the lines will remove the missed calls line.

how come it doesnt work on my mini? the sms counter stays at 000

You have to enable sms notification first. DKToday does not count the sms you have sent from POutlook, but counts the incoming sms delivery notifications. Dkot ( the writer) could not find another way to measure sms sending. No problem for me, I like to have a delivery notification anyway.
To do this you have to edit the registry but an easier way is to install the cab I attached and copy the cpl file found in the attached zip file to your /windows folder. With the second file you get a control panel applet in your start-settings-system that enables you to switch sms delivery notification on or off. The first file creates the registry settings that the cpl will work with. You can also manually enable sms delivery notification for each message you send in your messaging account. After creating a new text message, go to menu-options-and tick the box. However, this needs to be done again for each message you send. The two files attached will automatically handle notifications for each message.

great. thanks. my only problem now is if the delivery notification is charged to me by my operator.

Too bad for you! Luckily in Holland these delivery notifications are free. You could contact Dkot for help. good luck!

thanks for the quick replies koksie

you're welcome, I am sorry that you are charged for these notifications. Phone Alarm from PocketMax (I think) or Phone Dashboard can also count minutes and sms, but not freeware and these are large apps with much more functionality than I need. perhaps they fit your needs, you can always try them of course.

thanks for the info. ill try them out.

hi everyone, fyi if you want to clear a missed call you need to erase the entry in the call history, DK uses this list for the call entrys.

help me in getting some way of counting send SMS on smartfone
For a application i need to have access to check the total number of SMS send from the phone so that on next power on i Can check the SMS send and take start some application..

SMS Message Reminder Request

I am after a small program that will beep every minute when you have unread text messages. This means that when I get a message and I am not within earshot it will be beeping when I am in earshot and I should miss fewer of my girlfriends text messages.
Anyone know of anything that can do this (or how to reconfigure the software already present so it achieves the same result).

PhoneAlarm will do what you need. Their web site is www.pocketmax.net but then again it is not a small program as apart from repeating missed call, unread SMS, MMS and e-mails it has a host of other functions such as profiles. Some also say that it tends to slow down the device. Anyway I am more than satisfied and suggest you give the free trial version a go.
Regards

Cool. Shall give it a whilr when I get time.
Any other options? Maybe free tools or something smaller?

Hack the vibrate function on a WM5/6 device - possible?

Just like this topic about LEDs: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=295729 I would like to ask if it's possible to take full control over the vibration function. I never use the sound alarms, except for my wake-up alarm. SMS, incoming calls, reminders, etc. - I have it all setup to vibrate. I work with sound and music a lot, and I don't like the idea of a disruption because my phone would ring. So the ideal option would be for me to have full control over vibrate function - eg. SMS two quick vibrations, incoming call one long, new e-mail one quick, one long, one quick... of course that's just an example. WM6 already has this nice diferrence between a reminder and an SMS, but I would like to expand on that idea, and add a full control and something like "vibration-ringtones". I could setup one contact to make 5 very quick vibrations, and another one two quick, one long, and two quick... etc. There's a lot of combinations. I feel that this is missing from Windows Mobile. The best possible implementation would be via midi files (interpretting the percussion as vibrations).
So, is this possible?
Have a great day,
NIXin
