Hi Folks,
This is my first post, although I've owned my XDAIIs for several weeks and I've ROM'd it to the iMATE 1.4 ROM. So I've had a good play.
I was looking at smsOrganizer (from Jeyo) which is badly supported (and it ain't free) and I wondered why I (we) couldn't write something to do the same thing, for free.
Is there a forum for this kind of activity, or could someone point me in the direction of some exmples of how to pass data between the PC and phone?
Best regards
AndrwB
Andrew, look into RAPI: eg here

Development and Hacking is the right place for this kind of query...what do you want the app to do?

Hi V,
Basically I want to control the SMS message transfer on my XDA from Outlook, just like smsOrganizer.
Re. your link, I think we've got those? but I generally write embedded C, non of this fancy C++ stuff :-((

Hi V,
I just tried this :
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;307256
And I can now copy files to and from my device
Not bad for 1 hours playing, specially as I've fixed 2 work related bugs too )

Good stuff.
I'm just learning C++ actually, I never learnt C, coming from self-taught VB on the PC.
RAPI is the way to do most PC<>PDA communications, although right now I'm only just getting into sms stuff. It'd be easy enough (I think) to write an interface to create an SMS on the PC in text, transmit that to the PDA and then SMS it off, but the backend of it would require some implementation.
Keep us posted though!

99% of c programs should compile and work just fine on
c++ compilers and you can write c++ programs without using
oop in which case they are pretty much c programs
From what I've read it looks as if you need to write an app to sit on the device and another app on the main PC. The app on the phone just acts as an agent passing data between the sms services and the PC.
Anybody got any ideas?
AndrewB
Yipeeeee
I can now write a DLL that sits on the device and I can write a C++ application on my PC to communicate with it
Now to start reading some text messages from the device to the PC......
Does anybody know agood way to send and recieve SMS ?? I would also like to edit the text and pass it to an Edit Box.
I am not too sure about the available API's that will let me do this.
Please HELP :shock:
Hey , i would like to send and recieve SMS on my xda2. Also pass the recieved message into an Edit Control. Does anybody know a good way to do this ??
I know about the SMS API but i am unaware of others. Pleas Help !! thnkx
SMS Auto sending
Hi everybody,
Is there a way to auto send all sms in draft? Basically, every sms in draft folder needs to be send one by one by ticking send button.
OK,
I can now send a text message from my PC to a DLL on my phone using RAPI, then send a SMS using MAPI.
The trouble is I can't get the subject and body fields to display correctly on my XDAIIs. Also I can't get the Name to appear instead of the number.
I'll try to post the code later on the understanding that it is FREE and we pool our experiences/knowledge.
Here is the code for the DLL and the PC program. Just press one of the keys on the tol bar to send the message. The number and message are hard coded.
There are ABSOLUTELY NO guarentees with this code, use it at you own risk.
can it recieve SMS as well ?? Has any body thought about other API's to use for sending and recieving SMS's maybe ?
Well.... Not yet.
This is my first ever .net VC++ program !!!!
There are lots of code snipets around but no full source code.
This is a work in progress project hence it is in the "Development and Hacking" fourm.
If you'd like to add some functionality to it......
I am asking because there seems to be a problem when trying to recieve SMS with SMS api as the HANDLE is already attributed to the messaging application (inbox/draft/outbox).
I believe you are using RAPI ? However i do not understand this API that well could u specify a bit more ?
Thanks for your help.
Hi nutitija,
I'm only using the RAPI function to pass parameters from my PC to the XDA. The actual sending of messages is done using the MAPI in the XDA.
My biggest problem is getting the subject/body and from fields to display correctly in the different XDA mail views.
hi
i have a big problem, and i'm searching for a program...
i have a vodafone d2 sms-volume-package, 250 sms free per month, but i can't see how many sms i've send, because only the normal messages are displayed in the entrance so i can't see how many real sms i've send.
now i want:
an today plugin tool, where i can fill in the number of sms free for the month, and then the programm subtracs the number of sms from the 1. of each month so that i now how many sms left for me ?!
looks like this:
Free SMS: 250 - Send: 43 - Left: 207
please help me..

tag,
i would do this, i have experience in c# but somehow i cant setup a phone application, and i only get my xda mini tomorrow, so
if someone can tell me how to create mobile applications with the visual c# express (the free one) edition, help me out and i will do some applications
Try this
Try this Today Plugin (am using it on my O2 mini)
If you dont like it, can uninstall too
@Rockviech
You can't develop progs with the express edition because it does'nt have the required compact framework in it. You need the standard edition.
Hi,
i do need such a tool for my pocket pc WM 5 as well but the above tool freezes device. Even i cant setup or change anything in the tool for volume sms account (e.g. amount of SMS).
Is there any other useable tool out which is worth to buy or maybe free?
TIA,
Falk
Hi,
Check out phoneAlarm - it has SMS count and also allows setting Monthly free SMS in the billing options.
Are there any other SMS counters that will work with O2? DK doesn't, as O2 doesnt allow delivery reports. And Phonealarm slows down my phone too much.
Cheers
Hi There,
Is there a known way to backup your text messages.
Cheers
Use SMSBackup_PPC.cab which comes with the O2 Atom Exec. I use SP Studio which works also, but youi have to manually start the program with WM5 for PPC.
Hi,
the default behaviour of a SMS that can't be sent (no service or such) is to be moved into the "draft" folder and I have to resend from there manually. My communicater did automatically retry to send the SMS for a given time. Is there a piece of software that does the same for WM5?
Bump...
I'd also like to find such a program.
ron
same here... or even a free one that will schedule to send an SMS at a certain time
SMS Resend Available...Sort of
If any of you have access to the Palm Threaded messaging program (very sweet app!), this does just what you're looking for. I was disappointed initially with my Window Mobile devices in that nokia's middle of the road devices had this feature built in. Well the Palm messaging app solves all this an is a cool as heck program.
Good luck!!!
Hello!
We have a MIDlet, that sends SMS using WMA.
Unfortunately it doesn't work with Palm Treo and intent jvm.
The sms is just not sent without an Exception.
With a SonyEricsson phone we made a similar experience.
After we changed the security settings for the MIDlet suite,
it worked.
Has anyone successfully sent an SMS using WMA from a TREO?
Thanks, Roland
