Hi Everbody,
I am Shailesh Ashar and this is the first time I am getting my hands dirty with Windows Mobile development.
So here is a little app that I developed : Group SMS Solution.
As the name suggest it is basically a program to send smses to a group of people at the same time.
Foll. are the features:
1. Category Wise Contact Pickup
2. Individual Contact Pickup made easy
3. works with WM5 and WM6.
4. Seems to be moderately paced as it is written using managed code but does the job well.
5. It is free.
PREREQUISITES:
.NET Compact framework 2
download here :
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...6b-356b-4a2c-857c-e62f50ae9a55&displaylang=en
DISCLAIMER:
This program is written using managed code so it technically cannot harm your windows mobile device but anyways do not blame me for anything.

To Download go to http://shaileshashar.110mb.com/groupsms.php
Feel free to link to the download page but please do not link directly to the cab files. I want some traffic on my website.

Fixed a small bug while loading categories , as pointed out by SayMobile
Hi shailesh, great work..let me test and come back
Feedback
Pls do give me Feedback, suggestions etc as this is my First app & it will really Keep me ticking.
Very well done shailesh now it will help me send group message.
Thanks

Hey I am not a depressed soul although the quote is very thought provoking. Checkout the Superman logo as my avatar.
thnaks first
it is working with my imate jasjam although i installed net framework 2
the message appear:ERROR
"this application requires a newer version of Microsoft NET Compact Framework than the version installed on the device."!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:confused:
Nice app - well done. Works just fine on my artemis, cheers
Hi Shailesh,
This is certainly a very nice and extremely useful app for WM devices.
I've tested it briefly on my WM5 Herald and it works great. I do have a few minor bug reports and feature suggestions for your next version:
1. When contacts belong to multiple custom groups, it lists the same group twice with a space before the group name. So if some contacts are in the group called Ping and others are in the group called Pong and yet others are in both groups, it will list "Ping", "Pong" and " Ping" and " Pong"
2. Could you possibly add a context menu for the text editor where you do Cut/Copy/Paste rather than the Paste from Clipboard button?
3. In the final screen, if you press Back, it takes you right back to the first text entry screen rather than just one screen back.
Will test and give you any further inputs soon.
Thank you for the excellent app that you've given to the community for free!

Hey thanks for pointing out the bug SayMobile,
#1. I have fixed the bug as pointed out
#2. I thought the framework would automatically provide the Cut/Copy/Paste feature but it did not, anyways the button is doing the needful.
#3. It have purposely kept it that way
Please download the new cab from the first page.

Maybe someone could find this interesting...
While I find cumbersome to find out the (for instance) IP addresses assigned to the device, or frustrating when Internet Explorer cannot find any web page because the current connection is the WRONG one...
... I ended up writing my own Today Screen plugin to display more information on the active connection. Yeah, I know this is not quite a "common" requirement, but maybe someone finds it useful... or even can suggest further improvements - that will be of course welcome!
I've attached some screenshots of it running on both a WM5 emulator and my real Hermes running WM6 - thanks Schap!
Please, feel free to use it, redistribute it, add to a ROM kitchen, or cook it into any ROM...
Updated August, 13th...
More changes with the 1.3 version. Now localization has been added. I'm currently shipping this version with English (native) and Spanish languages. I've also added a ZIP file with a little document where you can find instructions to localize/translate ConnState to your preferred language and a template localization file for English.
Hasta la vista!!!!
Version History:
V1.0
First version released.
V1.1
VGA screen support added (enough to make it usable)
V1.2
Completed VGA screen support.
Added expand/collapse button - per popular request
V1.3
Localization support. ConnState currently ships in English and Spanish languages.
Thanks!!! Good work.
Thanks, PPCNUT... now let's see if someone likes it!!

Of course... in fact, why didn't I think about that in first place? :$ I was thinking about leaving the plugin "collapsed" (the size of "no connection") and add a right-hand minibutton that expands the thing up to its size... And even allow tapping you on it to open another window with full details on the connection...
This weekend will be fun
Thanks alot for your comments!!!
This is actually very nice work and I would use it, once you were able to condense it into a smaller amount of space.
Dont work in VGA screen (
(tested on Universal WM6)
Hope you fix it soon.
Nice. I would definitely use this if it was 'shorter'
Totally not for noobs but if you are are a road warrior, or on the road a lot sniffing WiFi hotspots then this is really a great add on!
thanks a lot.

would it be possible to display the proxy info? this would be very useful for the Cingular users (pie does not work via cell connection without proxy and wifi does not work with proxy). thanks

Nice one, @dpduser - that's staying on my Today screen!!!
As it's a today screen plugin, can you make the Options button in the today screen configuration give us access to the things we wanna see displayed in the plugin?? I'm thinking of having the MAC addresss displayed, but wouldn't necessarily want it all the time - same goes for the connection being used; if I'm at home, then I'm usually using Wi-Fi.....you catch my drift??
Sorry if I'm talking out of turn, just my $0.02 You can probably tell, I'm not a programmer, just a netadmin with a deathwish
Mark.
VGA rocks!!!
It would be nice to have localization support in 1.3 release.
Please confirm it

Feedback & ongoing work
First, thanks to all of you that took the time to play with ConnState!!
For the "improvements" part, and as I have read from your feedback:
- Regarding an "Options" dialog to configure somewhat more "advanced" features, yes, I'm working on it - It just takes a little longer than expected because now I'm trying to do a more compatible component, that must support QVGA & VGA screens and has to do so both in portrait and landscape orientations (if you do it, do it right, isn't it? ) BTW... anyone out there with a SQUARE screen device?
- MAC addresses? Yeah, I guess it's feasible... I'll try to add both MAC & PAN addresses. Not obvious, somewhat tricky but absolutely feasible!
- Show proxy information: regarding this, I was amazed at how tricky it is to discover the current proxy configuration for a connection! In first place I have to deal with WM's Provisioning and do that in XML (so an XML parser has to be placed in!)
- Localization!! Of course YES!!! Now I have two options to do it: one could be to maintain a single .DLL with embedded resources in a variety of languages or I could build a number of different DLLs each one built for a language... Hmmmm... Currently deciding on it!! I can do both Spanish and English versions... What languages are required? Would you, nice people, help me localizing this?

I'm Vietnamese so that I like to see my mother language display on my PPC.
In addition, it'd be cool if I could translate the localization file by Notepad without creating a DLL file (just like Spb does).
http://www.spbclub.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=10&sid=9f9d1e650a54130db66bea3db2dd9ad0
If you need translator (in Vietnamese of course ), feel free to write me. I will help you with pleasure.
Keep up the Good work!

Installed, working great on Hermes, except the today plug-in isn't activated by default after install. Maybe this is because of the variety of devices enabling the today-plugins, i don't know.
What does CorrentDTPTNetwork mean?
I bought my Touch Dual sliding phone for the express purpose of using the sliding open and closed as the physical interface for answering/unlocking then hanging up/locking my phone. But to my surprise the Touch Dual cannot hang-up and/or lock on slide close (although it does answer/unlock on slide open).
So I've written an application to do the job.
The latest version now includes friendly configuration and integration with third party applications such as S2U2.
SlideActions and notes (this is a link to my server, so it always has the latest version).
Open source
Because I don't have the time and I've been asked for new features, and there's been volunteered help I've provided access to SlideAction's SVN repository.
I almost didn't because I never bothered to comment code I didn't expect others to see, but, well, I'm not so precious.
Here's the repository's URL::http://opensource.puna.net.nz/svn/slideactions. Accessible both by web browser and SVN client such as TortoiseSVN.
Anyone wanting to contribute can create a branch (such as opensource.puna.net.nz/svn/slideactions/branchs/new_branch) and I'll merge working features into the main branch.
Its great,
how can i make cab-file tu youse on my touch dual ?

And it wasn't hard at all. Go to the link in the first post to find the CAB file.
I should mention - although this CAB file does put a startup shortcut in place (so the application will start with the phone in future) it doesn't currently start the application to begin with - you'll have to either start it yourself (llook for the application in your Program folder) the first time or restart your phone for it to happen automatically.
Nice work Ferrex..!
Keep up them please ..

but can I just use it for hanging up calls ?
and not for keys lock ?

I haven't tried to make it configureable in any way yet (Update:It is now). So far I've just been happy to figure out how to make it do what I need on my phone.
Ideally it ought be configureable but I don't think I'm going to have the time to do that with a busy work schedule for a while.
I find working on this stuff immensely time consuming because I'm on the wrong side of a big learning curve right now - and at times frustrating (I'm stunned at how much the VSS Deployment Project methodolgy sucks).
Thanks for this, simply fantastic. Was silently hoping that htc would release a rom upgrade that closed the action screen when the keypad slides back down. Looks like you've beaten the big H to it.
Nice work, i tried it but it kept opening the sms/mms app any time i slide it open. But it's almost perfect

That's deliberate (if you have unread messages) - I haven't accentuated the feature but the app checks if there's any unread SMS messages when you open the slide and if so opens the SMS app.
It's one of the things which ought be configureable but I haven't had time to write configuration options yet. For the moment I'm writing the application to suite my needs - and I prefer to go straight to unread txts if I haven't noticed them yet when I open my phone.
If it's doing it when you haven't unread messages it's a bug - but not with this app because that's a mistake it pretty much can't make itself, however another app interacting with SMS might not be updating the notifications correctly and thus throw my app off. I could make HTCDTExtend more robust by taking a more direct route to SMS info but I'm not going to because using WM6 notifications is the correct way to do it. Hopefully your experience is as designed and not some bug.
if i may, maybe you could just recompile an exe for those of us that want it to function without the locking feature either by just commenting out the sendkey(133) or using a null in the locking subfunction

I've made the application read settings from the registry so it can be configured. In time I'll put a graphical interface on it but for now...
By default the application Hangs Up and Locks on slide close, and on slide open, if there are any unread SMS messages opens the SMS application.
But you can change that if you wish by editing (you'll have to begin by creating them, they aren't created by the application currently [Update:These keys are created by the application now]) these registry settings:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Ionwerks\HTCDTExtend DWORD:HangUp
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Ionwerks\HTCDTExtend DWORD:Lock
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Ionwerks\HTCDTExtend DWORD:CheckSMS
0 = Off, 1 = On for each setting.

I've assembled a version with locking disabled for people who don't want to edit their registry.
Update:HTCDTExtend has been supplanted by SlideActions. Go to the first post for a link to it's home page.
thanks ferrex for insights in registry and for the cab, it works very well now thanks.

meanwhile, really doubt why HTC is so stupid to miss the slide-close-to-hangup functionality that is available on every slide-out phone.

Just finished a working version of my new little neat utility which looks up an unknown caller (number among your contacts) with the norwegian service GuleSider.no (yellow pages directory service) and a page called telefonterror.no (lists known telemarketeers in Norway).
When there's a call from an unknown caller the program looks up in both directories and displays the information on top of the HTC-Answer-incoming-call-application.
The program will auto-start on boot and auto-appear when a call is made. As of 16.10 the program supports AppToDate and will be automatically updated by using this.
Please try it out, give me some feedback and buy me a cup of coffee if you like it

Sure, if you got a phone directory service which is easily available by doing simple http requests.
It's just to swap the HTML-parser with a new one...

hi will it work in sweden
Excellent idea!
Any chance - when you get chance of course - of a version/configuration for the UK?
*patiently waits*
This is another request for US numbers, also could you post the file that needs to edited for the http search or explain how to edit or how it works.
this is a very good utility any chance for uk version
For the netherlands it would be:
http://www.nummerzoeker.com/index.php
Can you please made this possible?
Thank you
Is it possible to help with USA #, we would appreciate!
Thank You!
Okey fellow developer guys (gals?):
I separated the HTML-parser from the from the project and to its own DLL.
If you would like to "contribute for your country" download the HtmlParserPlugin.zip, unzip and open in visual studio!
All the methods are static, so to make a test project you can just call the LookUpNumber with different types of numbers. If you need to format the number before sending it to the directory service use the StripNumberPrefix-method. Remember to check all outcomes, what if number is unknown to service, wrongly formatted etc etc.
If you only want to use one service just remove the calls to the second one from LookUpNumber.
You probably (not tested by me) can swap the DLL you're generating with the one in the application folder on your device, restart the app and hopefully it will work with your new parser Atleast that's the plan!
If you're satisfied with your own work, send your new DLL to me along with the source code and I will build a country specific version
Ah, great
Hopefully a dev will pickup the dutch-part.
*patiently waits*
Hei Audiophil.
Great idea. I haven´t got any idea how to make a version for the danish market.
But this provider http://www.krak.dk/ has a pretty good search engine.

EDIT:
DEVELOPMENT HAS STOPPED! Microsoft released a Facebook application which far surpasses anything i could have done. Please use that app for all your facebook addictions. It does not have Facebook chat but you can use Palringo for Facebook Chat. I've been using it for about a week now and LOVE IT! Thank you for all your support. It was a good learning experience for me!
Inspired by the other development efforts on here, I started developing my own version a facebook application.
As promised, another beta. This one including a VGA line.

Directions:
You need .net cf 3.5
Unzip, Start app, Login and enjoy
BOTH FILES INCLUDED IN THE ZIP NEED TO BE IN THE SAME DIRECTORY!!! If you want to make a shortcut, make sure you make a SHORTCUT of the .exe and don't just copy the .exe alone
(Please not that it does take some time to first log in to facebook (some times up to 2 minutes). We are working on this issue and will hopefully reduce this time as much as possible.)
wFacebook is now full screen. To exit you must do the following:
QVGA: There is an exit button on the Home Screen (temporarily placed here)
VGA: There is an exit button on the bottom bar
NEW PICTURES COMING SOON!
Hope you guys enjoy and I will be updating this regularly. Planned features include facebook chat and other goodies. Stay tuned.

Yes there will be. As soon as I can get some graphics, I will release one for QVGA, VGA, and WVGA.

I am admittedly very weak in the graphics department. I want to make this look like what the Windows Mobile Community wants.
I am getting help developing new controls that will provide a more intuitive User Interface. Stay tuned everyone. Big things are happening. There are a decent amount of people behind this project and together we can get something very good out. Maybe start a whole series of wSomething products
i am willing to help with the graphics designing..id like to make sure that this thing works on vga though..the other application doesnt work at all on my touch pro..
just tell me the formats and size (both VGA and QVGA...i can make them in VGA first and then downscale to QVGA so that no quality is lost) of those images and i'll do my best
edit..i tried the qvga version and it does work up to one extend but the layouts are messed up
anyway let me know if you would like some help for the images
iv used a lot of photoshop tutorials recently to learn a lot of things.. here are a few icons i made recently

does this need to be authorised on facebook? if so do you have a link?
i have installed on my diamond to test (i know the graphics will be out) and am currently passing 7 mins for first logon.
that can't be right can it?
ps this looks very promising, keep working on it looking forward to seeing the vga version working

It does not need to be authorized. Please exit and restart the application. I have noticed a bug where if you recieve a call or text when it is connecting, something goes out of wack. Exit and restart and it should connect just fine. It does take a bit to connect but never that long.
I would be willing to help you with graphics just let me know and I'll whip some up for you

Is this right after you were logged in? Which button did you press? I will be uploading another version shortly that copies the error messages so you guys can attach here.
The most important thing is funtionality so I will be tackling these issues right away so any directions you can provide about what you did to get the error would be extremely helpful (if I can't reproduce it, I can't fix it).
Since facebook can be user customised with various applications and stuff, replicating an error might now always be feasible. Plus handling someone with a few thousand friends (yeah right ) could be troublesome.
Maybe for the first versions you can add a full debug log? Before every major function call you can write to file the arguments you are using (or at least a note of you are going to do). It might be slow(er) from a user perspective, but could make your life and debugging *much* easier.
As with the other Facebook application here, this one logs you out of facebook from other machines/devices when you log in with this app.

Great app (works well on the IPAQ 600) but when will it have support in landscape mod? (like IPAQ 900 )

Hi EREZYAD, thanks
Landscape support will be part of next version.
Probably the first app, anyone should install for his WM. Once you get used to it, you can't live without it.
great job!

need a bit help
I've been searching for quite some time for the program for searching contact and handling its information, (I have over 1200 contacts), and then yesterday I found O3Touch. Though I'm still only at the start stages, I find that searching is extremely fast and resembles nothing I've seen before. What I am still having trouble understanding from the manual, is how to find a contact by its company name?

Hi Sigal
First go to settings page 1, press Search mode button until you get "Search mode contain " then close settings. Now type the name of the company and you'll see the first 4 contacts of the same company, if you have more than 4 press on what you typed on the top and you'll get all.
Greetings
@ Arie
AMAZING WORK !!! Thank you and Keep going!

Searching the company name filed is active in the “contain…” search mode. Switch to “contain…” mode by touching the right side of the top line.

Hi Sigal and welcome,
As a person that use this wonderful dialer (and much more ), for quiet a lot of time, I can tell you that you won't replace this app with any other dialer. In just 3-4 days you will be at the end of the learning stage, just use it (you don't have any other choices )
As for your question - Just search regularly as you search for names, but be sure that you are in CONTAIN mode, otherwise it will only search in name/family.
(I will explain as a TOUCH PHONE user not SMARTPHONE)
This is done in 2 ways :
1. Settings page 1/8 line 4 (touch logo button and goto Settings)
2. Start searching and touch to the right of the search string where is say "Start with", and it will change to CONTAIN, and from now will search in this mode.
If it finds more then 4 results, just touch the SEARCH STRING to list all the results.
And... if you would like to be updated in Hebrew and see whats new, goto the Freak forum at:

Enjoy!
I can say that the three of us should go to sleep now
That's what I am going to do now.
Good night everyone....
many thanx
to all who posted replies to my question; very helpful
