I installed cLauncher and I'm trying to make a button shortcut to to SMS messages. Using the Messaging link as the action works and takes me right to the messaging screen, but I'm trying to go directly to SMS messaging without having to flip through the different types. Is there any command line arguments I can mass to bring me there?
Vijay555 Phone Tools can do the trick. Google it... Its freeware, well donateware
Freeware.
Donations are more to prevent me having to sell my children to Belgian paedophile rings. But you know, no pressure.

isn't anyone goung to complain about how un-ergonomic the built-in messaging client is? sure you can text with one hand with intellipad, and search for contacts with one hand using .mobile contacts, but what about forwarding? reading while replying?
i like intellipad, but i think it's still too small for rapid thumb-texting. also, don't you wish you can read the message you are replying to? or type nicknames in the to: field and then when you press send it looks up nicknames and replaces them with phone numbers?
don't you miss being able to send SMS on a scheduled date and time?
i don't think there is an app out there that does this. phoneplus is close, .mobile contacts solves some of the problems. but for the rest, let's develop one! does crossfire ring a bell?
Blackberrys hotlink phone numbers, email addresses, and url's automatically out of the box. MarkNDial and TreoSelectText do this on POS but you need to select the text first. I can't find anything to do this on WM. Does it exist?
For those of you not familiar with MarkNDial for the Palm OS, it allows you to highlight a phone number (in a task for a calendar appointment) and dial it directly.
Does anyone know of a similar app for WM (expecially one that works in Notes)? Any help would be appreciated.
What is needed needs to be as simple as a click or 2. Selecting items is too much against my Treocentric ease of use. On Blackberrys it auto recognizes phone numbers, email, and url's in its notepad and other apps out of the box. Scroll to an item, click it, and it asks if you want to do the selected thing. One more click executes the instruction. Beautiful it its simplicity.
I have hundreds of numbers in notes I started in my Blackberry days for contacts I use infrequently so as to not clutter up my Outlook contacts, then I carried them over to my 700wx and found out that this functionality was sorely missing (not a big surprise for WM, but where are the third parties here). I am now a WM/Treo convert and am longing for the 800w.
The pending arrival of the 800w has renewed my interest in perfecting my Treo device and I would love to see this super efficient function added to WM to make the 800w even more useable then it will already be. Of course your device may vary but this would be a boon to all WM devices.
So is there anything out there like this or anyone to write it? I would gladly pay for a program or a script to fix this WM annoyance.
Great Solution
Hannip over at treocentral.com wrote and/or modified a MortScript to perfrom this function from a mapped button. In totally works, and does even more!!!
In summary:
MultiSwitch6 checks what app is running in the foreground and does the following.
1) If mail app - open the folders (fix for a major non-one handed annoyance).
2) If calendar - find phone numbers and prompt to call.
3) If notes - prompt to call the phone number where the cursor is.
4) Else run Pocket Internet Explorer or modify for app of choice.
Follow the thread and get the MortScript here (note: latest script is around post #11):

Hey everyone.
I've been using WM since the XDA2 then moved to a dopod 838 pro and am now using the Touch Diamond. The one thing I've never been able to do and really could use is the ability to call a number entry in the notes of a calendar entry.
I've done a search on the forums but I can't locate anything regarding it.
I tend to use my calendar for all of my appointments but if I have to call someone with the phone number stored in the notes of the calendar entry, I have to physically write the number down and then flick to the dialer to make the call. And I've had to do that for years. Now that I've found you guys I have to ask...is there a way around this?
Thanks in advance for any help you can throw my way and a Big thanks to all the devs here making my Diamond the best PPC I've owned.
EDIT: I should explain what I'm asking for a little better. You know how a number comes up highlighted in a text message or notes and all you have to do is tap on the highlighted number and it launches the dialer? That's what I really need in the notes of a calendar appointment.
i also need that.
and i could swar that this worked already in earlier versions
Barring any other solutions, you could copy and paste the number into the dialer, instead of having to write it down. I doubt there are any tweaks to make it a clickable link.
Thanks...the copy and paste option is better than nothing. I'd actually never thought to use it after all these years.
Still, a clickable link in the notes would be ideal. I'm sure if I ask M$ nicely, they'll be more than happy to add it to the next version of WM.
Hi everyone,
if I search for a name via the dial numbers in the phone dialog (after pressing green dial button) it works fine to dial the numbers of the persons I found. But if I press the left or right key to switch between home or phone number, mail or sms, I'm not able to create SMS or mails out of this window. On my old htc artemis with wm6 but without touchFlo it worked fine and it is much more useful than going to contacts overview because of the easy searching.
Hope you understand what I try to say
Thanks for any help, Tobi
You are right. However, once name is selected (with <m>) you can tap "Menu" - "Send Text Message" to send SMS.
Hi,
You can search your contact on the sms or email screen. At the line of the phone number, you write the first words of your contact and you have the list of your repertory.
You have only to choose at which of them you want to send an sms. I think it's easiest like this !
Thanks for both of the answers
@azahidi: I found this out yesterday, you're right thats an option, but not an advance I think, menu is too inconvenient for finger control. the greatest problem is, that if I select a contact with my finger, the phone directly calls it insteat of just selecting it and giving me further options.
@pinou13: that's great, I didn't know this yet, I think that solves my problem in a way
But nevertheless, it would be great, if one could set that if I click on the contact in the dial window, instead of directly dealing the number, showing the same overview (call cell phone, call home, write mail, write sms) from the contacts window.
If someone know a solution to do so, please post it, but so far it's an alternative to do it via sms or mail menu.
Thanks, Tobi
You can solve your problem with the Spb Mobile Shell. It is very finger-friendly to use, I am happy with it, but it has to be paid after 14 days free trial. For details: http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/pocketpc-software/mobileshell/
Hm, looks great, but that's around 10% of the phones costs. I prefer to use freeware and I rather like touchFlo, but not in that one little thing
Was wondering is there a google voice app for the touch pro 2 like the 1 for the iphone?
I have done a lot of digging and I have not found 1 app that does it all. But there is a way to tie 3 programs together to get a total experience. The information below is what I have pieced together from several other website I do not take credit for it.
On supware's site you can actually create a CAB file specific to your phone and google voice number.
Make sure that you also download "iContact" and the "Greenbutton" programs. The integration of these 2 other programs with iDialer.
- iContact is similar in nature to the i Phone's contact program and you can call directly from iContact as well.
- Greenbutton is a program that lets you call directly from your iDialer app. Without the Greenbutton app you will have to tap on the "call" button on your touch screen in order to place a call. It's much more intuitive to just hit the "green" call button on your phone; having the greenbutton app allows you to do that.
With these 3 programs from Supware.net installed you are ready to go. All you have to do is launch iDialer, enter the phone number of the person you want to call, then press the call button. You will then be taken to the mobile webpage of Google Voice to enter your log-in info. What's cool, is that you only have enter your log-in info once; even if you reset your windows mobile device.
You'll see your google voice number on your caller ID. Answer the call, wait a second, and you will here it ring as it makes the call.
