[request] App to turn SMS receive off

I like to have my phone plugged into my car cradle, but don't want my passengers to read my SMSs over my shoulder.
Could someone please program an app to turn toggle SMS reception whilst leaving the phone active?
I know that this might be the ugliest of hacks, but my privacy is important to me.
Thanks.

Sounds like you want to disable access to the Inbox, not receipt of SMS right?
If so, there are some options floating around to disable access to the inbox.
If you really want to do what you describe, and prevent receipt of sms, I can write something to do that I think, subject to time pressures
Can't promise though.
But I'd suggest going for an inbox locker before an SMS blocker.

Thanks for the reply Vijay =)
What I need is to stop the phone from popping up the message in a notification. Going to the inbox isn't a problem as long as there isn't an alert or a notification.
I'll PM you the reason.

PReDiToR - from your pm, I think really you just need to disable notifications for SMS. I think if you also check the registry there's a registry key for received SMS (I may be wrong. There is one for message sent).
If you're still having troubles, I'll think about a 3rd party solution, but my thinking is it's quite complicated... but I need to think about it anyway

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..

Convert SMS to Voicemail or missed calls??

I searched the forum but couldn't find anything.
Is there a tool that can automatical convert a received SMS to another event? Why I am asking this, I get a SMS for each new message on my voicemail, but I would like to use the Titanium voicemail counter. So my idea was if it is not possible to convert according to sender number or even message text.
Another use case could be the messages I receive if my phone was off. I also get a SMS that tells me that the caller didn't leave a message on the mailbox. Could this be converted directly into a missed call under WM?
Maybe someone knows if anything like this is existing. Or if not, how difficult this would be to program. Thanks!

So after all the replys I guess there is not tool existing...
But can mybe someone give me a hint how this could be realised. Thanks!

How to use numbers received in SMS

I have been trying to find how to use numbers recived inside an SMS to call or send message to. This feature is available in Symbian, BB and Android where if someone sends you someone else's number, you can simply call or copy it from within the SMS. My HD2 doesn't show any of the option.
Anyone knows how to do this?

I use forward message, and than is to possible select and copy text, number from message...

In the SMS where the number is contained, simply touch the number and keep your finger pressed for a few seconds, a menu should pop up and bingo.

SMS Sent notification ?

Is there anyway to continue using the HTC Messaging interface & get a message notification "message sent" ? anyone knows how to get back the ability to get an indication that your message have been realy sent?
Any registery tweak to enable this ?

No one with a solution? no one needs the "message sent notification" ?

i remember that is an option in ur mobile... cant remember where but u can change the setting to have "message sent delivery"

What I've done is to install Advanced Config cab that I had on Touch HD and enable delivery notification in the messages settings. I've not sent an SMS since that but am assuming it should work.

No, so far this has not been acheived without disabling the sense SMS UI
I've been watching daily as I too want a sent notification!

Sorry - that's me told!!

Have you tried turning on Setting/Options/Request delivery report/ in All Messages?
Also, have you seen this from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583638 (number 52):
"O2 sadly do not support sms delivery reports no matter even if you enable them in sms settings or the registry. An alternative way is to add *0# in the body of the message followed by a space and then begin your message. The recipient does not see the code but you will get a message back saying when it has been delivered."
This is working for me.

Fella read the thread title, sent notification not delivery report

I have put an annoying alert on for "message not sent" occasions. Atleast this way I know when its deciding not to send. As it did this morning. But oddly, only my girlfriends number. I could text anyone else, just not her.
I jiggled about a bit and it is sending her messages again.
Its the first instance of any such behaviour.

Has anybody got this working yet?

I disabled HTC messaging MAINLY so that I could get this functionality back!

I've been looking for this feature too but can't find any posts about the registry tweak to enable it. I've found the registry key that enables it on the HD but that doesn't work for the HD2 as the messaging system is HTC's and not Windows.
There has to be a way to enable this on the HD2.

O2 delivery report *0#
O2 apparently dont support sms delivery reports. I know that using the short code before the message sends a report back - Is there anyway to have this short code entered automatically before sending the message. It would be very handy as I generally forget until I've sent the message.

Delivery report and sent notification are two different things.... one confirms that the message was sent out and not sitting in your outbox. The other tells you if your recipient got the message (via an sms)....
There is NO way to have sent notification with the Sense UI (HTC messaging). It just a completely different app that bypasses the Windows one completely.... only way to get this functionality is to disable the HTC messaging app and revert back to Windows. I prefer this anyway... its faster and less buggy. My keyboards also play nicely with the WM sms app.
If you want to do this, just google it... you may also need to use Advanced Config 3.3 to enable sent notifications which is usually disabled by default...

Can some of you guys tell me the reg entry to disable HTCMessaging?

So, no solution yet on how to get a "message sent" notification ?
I tried looking all over in all related forums.
Tried looking at all the published tweaks
However, so far, i didnt found any solution that will help me get an indication that my message indeed was sent out.

No mate i've not found anything yet

Hello,
Still no solutions?

Geeeez.. Everyone needs the SMS notication badly & same goes for me,
wish someone can create a cab file that when SMS were sending out
a loader appears on the taskbar or just above the text counter "0/160"
& when loader fully loaded it meant SMS have been send out.
