My dad bought this O2 XDA IIs a month ago. His previous device was an Ipaq 3xxx and Nokia 9210i. According to him O2 fell short when It comes to sending 1 SMS to multiple recipients coz O2 limits it upto 13 contacts only.
Is there a third party software that can send 1 SMS to a min of 500 recipients? His previous devices are capable though you won't be able to use the phone for almost an hour whenever he does that.
Hope you guys can help.
Thanks
500! ?
is this a how do i spam peoples with sms's post ?
its for my dad's Organization that's why its more or less 2000 members.
what does it have to do with you rudegar anyway, the guy just wants some help. Wincrash, my XDA II lets me send more than 13 (in fact I tried it with 22). Does it only let you add 13 to the list of recipients or does it come up with an error when pressing send??
nothing i just asked a question
it's my right
just as it's the right of the person i ask questions to
to answer or not
what we do is we select more than 20 contact nos then press the window and i think click Send SMS i cant remember and only 13 nos appear in the "To:" field. No error messages occurs. how do you do that 22 recipients?
I hope you guys could suggest a 3rd party software that can solve this problem.
I just click on the SMS icon on Today screen and then NEW SMS. Now click on the icon next to 'My Text' at the bottom of the screen to bring up your contacts. Now just tap each contact you want to send a message to. Like I said it let me add 22 to the list which expands.
Remember I haven't tried actually sending it yet. Good luck :lol:
I've just also tried going to my contacts, highlighting about 20 names and then selecting send sms and it successfully added them all the the recipients list.
OK thanks I'll try it out then give feedback.
Thanks again.
do you have YMID? pls pm me if you do or add me [email protected]
Thanks
Hi everyone - been doing a search for a small app that records the outgoing call duration and is resettable but can't find one anywhere. Does anyone know of such an app that will run under WM5?
It's just to make life that bit easier as O2 expect you to call (& pay) their Customer Services to get an update on how many of your free minutes you've used at any point in the month. A bit Dark Ages if you ask me!!!
Any help much appreciated. :lol:
the answer seems to lie in the registry....
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/shell/cumulativecalltimers/line_0/
AllCurrent
AllCurrentNumCalls
AllPhoneLifeTime
AllPhoneLineTimeNumCalls
IncomingVoiceCurrent
IncomingVoiceCurrentNumCalls
IncomingVoicePhoneLifeTime
OutgoingDataCurrent
OutgoingDataCurrentNumCalls
Now all we need is some smart person to write us an app that shows us how many minutes of calls we've made (with an option to reset) and how many bytes of GPRS data we've bought....

start -> settings -> system -> device information -> Call duration
Will give you outgoing and incoming call duration.
Have a look at MortScript if you want to make a "tool" to display/reset all the values from the registry.
I thing what you need is Phone Dashboard. Google it, download it and see what info it can give, its great
Regards
This (free) script displays the values from the registry and asks if you want to reset "current" counters.
I can't find the "OutgoingData" counters in my registry. So I can't help you with GPRS counters.
I haven't tested it much, but it seems to work on my K-jam, ROM version 2.16.9.1.
It does mess with the registry so I suggest making a backup first if you want to try it. You also need to install MortScript:
http://www.sto-helit.de/modules/edito/content.php?id=38
search for DKToday. It counts your outgoing minutes and sms and can be set to reset on a specific date. For me, my free minutes are calculated per the 11th of each month, so each 11th of the month my timer will be set to 0. The prog can be found in the forum, just do a search on it.
Show call and data timers (from registry)
a small mod from the great script above...
this one doesn't do a reset (as I didn't want to loose data) but does display the data counts from the registry as well.
don't know if it's specific to the i-mate K-JAM AKU2 ROM and only tested on my unit, but have fun!

I want data counters too!
Are you using the same rom as me (I-Mate 2.16.9.1)? I still can't see the data counters in my registry. And I DO use gprs every day.
Have you installed something else that counts gprs trafffic and updates these registry values??
I would like an SMS counter too. I tried searching for it in the registry but couldnt find any.
Maybe I have to change to something else, like DKtoday or something, but i really do not like today plugins or programs that need to run continously.
very strange.
I've not installed any other third party apps to count GPRS data (was looking for a freebie!) or done anything out of the ordinary that I can remember since upgrading.
Do you have your machine set for ActiveSync / Direct Push? I use that as well as browsing the web. On the subject of trawling the web it appears that the CumulativeCallTimers is one of the reigstry keys which can be controlled by OEMs but as the phones are the same I'm surprised if there is any difference
ROM is 2.16.9.1 WWE (ExtROM 2.16.9.101)
What happens if you add the registry entries (BTW - what happens if you run my version of the script that looks up the entries - I've never used MortScript before so wasn't sure... I love Terry Pratchet as well!)

I tried creating the registry keys, setting the values to 0. Browsed a bit via gprs but the values don't change...
Maybe its the push mail (that i don't use) that creates these values. Can you check if the values increase if you use internet explorer, or if it's only measuring the push-mail-data?
Your code looks good to me, I've just started using MortScript too, because i wanted an easy way to keep track of what i call "real" uptime, average uptime and total number of reboots.
Where does Terry Pratchet fit in?
the values increase with web browsing as well as the DirectPush mail (did a quick Google search and the numbers went up), only on GPRS not on WiFi (so although it says Data it's not getting confused)
The Terry Pratchet reference... Mort was a character (and the title) of one of his Discworld books. Sto-Helit is the name of a city on Discworld (where Mort, who becomes Deaths apprentice ends up as Duke). They are very funny books
I see. Thanks for testing it.
I dont have an exchange server that supports direct push, so i don't know how to get the counters "started" on my device.
Maybe I should read some of his books then - an ebook perhaps
I found a free pushmail exchange thing (mail2web.com) and set up an account, so now I have my push email set up on the phone too. But still no data counters. I've given up
how have you set this up? read the page, but it is not clear to me how it enables push email...
I didn't think the maIl2web solution was the new DirecgtPush email (as supported by the AKU2 ROM upgrade), more the 'old-school' SMS notification service.
The best (ie has a free 14 day trial and is good value) one I've found for small users without their own Exchange solution is 4SmartPhones (which is who I'm using - I push my normal mail to their hosted Exchange and it appears in my PC Outlook and on my phone by magic THey also have step-by-step instructions to make setup really easy

You are probably right, I will try 4smartphones as soon as their webpages start working...
"Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete."
weird, they've been pretty well behaved in IE.
Try this link or just type in www-dot-4smartphones-dot-net and see if that behaves!

Don't work. Not in IE, not in PIE, not in Firefox...
it's weird... it seems on the first visit to the link it writes a cookie and then redirects to the wrong place, second visit works (at least that's what seemed to happen when I just tried in PIE)
the raw link (to the homepage) should work fine as that's not doing any redirects that I can see
I found something called http://www.4smartphone.no and set up a test account there. Could this be the norwegianified version of "your" 4smartphone service?
They say its "Direct Push", and i can start/stop it using the "direct push" button in the comm manager. Does this mean it's "real" direct push?
This did not do anthing to my data counters though. still at 0...
So there must be something else that starts these counters...
Have you set up the gprs connection by using the imate "select your provider" thing, or have you set it up manually?
Dear All,
i have tired from searching for an application to enable me send a contact details using SMS. after a long search i found a similar application called RJV SendContact (http://www.airfagev.com/forum_view.asp?msg_id=52421) , but it is for smart phones. do anyone know a similar application that can work with our PPC Wizard devices.
Can't help, but i would like one too.
Yet another big shortfall with WM5. I mean, FFS, Vcard's have been a standard feature in mobiles for years.
Hi there.
Try looking/searching for Sunnysoft Vcard. Google it and you will know that it is what you guys are looking for.
Regards.

Try Vazu.
I used it back about two years ago when they first offered it as a free beta. I used it for a year and then they tried to start charging for it. But I see now that they are once again offering the service free of charge, except for international SMS messages.
BTW, I have no connection of any kind with them, except that I used it for a while.
Good luck.
this is for sending sms for the us, but not Vcards from your device.
I don't know if it's just US or not, but you can upload your contacts (read: vCards) to their site and they will then be sent to your phone via SMS.
That info may be beyond the main page - read through the site and you'll see what I'm talking about. I used it about two years ago when they first established the site to send about 200 Outlook contacts from my PC to a Motorola T720 (Ugh 0 what a dog that phone was!)
OK - I copied the link directly to the page that explains how to import contacts from Outlook, Outlook Express, Apple Mail, or Ximian Evolution (Whatever that is) for transmission directly to your cell phone:
https://www.vazu.com/help/import_contact.php
Many Thanks
Many Thanks for your effort, it can be a replacement
I use this small program. it adds "Sens as Vcard"to the contactsmenu, when you hold your stylus on a contact.
And it recognises Vcards when you recieve them.
I don't know where I found this so I attach it to this post, I hope this is not Illegal. Otherwise Google for vCardforminiS.cab
good luck
Great App, but i google for it i did not find anything concerning this app, anyway , thanks alot
I could not find it with google eather, sorry for the wrong tip
o2 sms has this feature
The O2 SMSprogram has this feature. Someone on this forum posted the version that can be installed on the Wizard. I tried it once but found it a bit slow. Then again I was running the original Cingular Rom which sucked big time. Search for the thread and try it out. The only drawback is that the application does not eliminate the messages from also showing up in the default WM5 messaging application.
-Richard
I tried installing it in my phone. It says Installation unsuccessful. Am I doing anything wrong ?
This app will be for all wm devices.
This is an ongoing project that is in need of some of you guys expertise. The rom of the treo 750v has been dumped and is in need of hacker and developers. The treo 750v has features that NO OTHER wm device does. Like the threaded sms messaging, which is sms in a chat style form.
http://www.palm.com/sg/products/smar...messaging.html is a little more about how it works and what it does.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=279758 is a thread in the xda-treo forum, but I feel need to be here due to the fact that it will be for all wm devices and is in need of developers and hackers.
Attached is the rom dump.
Thanks, Cody
in many countries you pay pr. sms much more then you'd pay to send text over grps so for most ppl msn, skype or other IM clients would do the same thing only much cheaper
I am really not sure what the hype is about. Haven't used SMS in a long time a with 100MB data package, I have to agree with Rudegar even the built in MSN messenger is better.
Any way I thought you should know that what you posted is not a ROM dump and cannot be used to extract the app.
Interesting you say that. If you have kids sms messaging is almost a requirement. It is extremely popular with the younger generation. I find myself using it more and more. I have friends that send over 3k sms messages in a month. A threaded sms app sure makes it a much better experience.
The rom dump thread was moved by someone over to the treo section for those wondering where it went. The dump is on the ftp server.

I played with the rom dump yesterday. The messaging app does load, just seems to be missing some resources and/or registry entries that I'm not prepared to import right now (test machines all being used already).
It also appears to be fixed at 240x240, although that can probably be fixed later.
The rest of the rom - doesn't contain many intersting .exes, but I know hannip is interested in a number of the other devices and drivers installed. They don't appear to be device specific (c.f. many eten files are).
In the UK, data contracts are very expensive, and you get loads of SMS bundled in your contracts, so SMS makes sense. I don't IM from my phones. But both have their uses.
But I still can't see the fascination with threaded SMS. It'd be quite straight forward to program even if the treo app can't be sucked out.

PS Whoever dumped the roms to begin with, many thanks!
However, we may need to get an overview of the databases on the device as well, in case there are any custom databases. The speed dial plugin that has thus far been elusive relies on a call db. Either a device backup (using sprite etc) or a database dump would be useful to check. Just a guess, might lead to nothing.
Thanks vijay for all of your assistance! Good to hear that the sms app loads. I've been trying to get the a2dp dll's to work on my treo 700wx and 700w devices just to get my feet wet. Having some issues getting the dll's to load, but with your help I might figure this out yet.
The excitement for the 750 sms app over the other threaded sms apps out there is the clean integration with the os and today screen. I've tried other sms threader apps and they are buggy, don't grab messages when the pda is suspended, and leave copies of sms messages in poutlook. The one from triangle powers is a .net app and loads extremely slow because of it. It is expected that the palm written app will solve all of these problems. Plus it handles mms pictues, audio etc.
i dont say i dont use sms i just say i use sms as sms's as in short message service msg's
not as chat because i dont see the point of using it as chat
of cause if you dont pay pr. each sms
and want to chat with somebody who dont have msn it's usefull i guess
but another issue is the delay if that person is on a different network then you heard that compeating phone companys are not always too snappy to route to eachother

Well, I'm someone who wants the SMS chat program badly.
Understand, it's not so much that you use like an IM program, you don't.
This is just a method by which to organize your SMS conversations e.g. say you and your friend over the day send back and forth to each other 20 messages, all releated to the same thing. Now throw in 15 more random SMS from other peopel in the same day. Your inbox would be a mismash of 20 something messages (assuming you don't delete every single one, maybe there is important info you need).
This program would "group" your SMS into a single "chat style thread", like and IM history would. You can then just delete the entire thread at once when you are done with it. It's also nice to keep that previous information handy, especially if your discussing plans, information, phone numbers etc. You just scroll up to find it again.
If you're a heavy texter, this is a great way to organize your back-and-forth conversations. It's not an IM replacment, so don't think of it as that.
In my case I use it as a compliment to AIM. I have AIM forwarding all of my IM's to my cell phone when I am away. That way my friends and family can msgs me anytime anywhere. My phone/pda can remain in suspend mode conserving the battery and I still get my IM's. I can reply to them just like an IM session. No need for the AIM client on my phone.
The best thing about using sms over an IM client is that you can communicate with anyone that has a cell phone. You don't have to tell someone to register with an IM server to send them messages. It works in suspend mode. With a nice sms chat app the only advantage an IM client has over it is the messages are more instantaneous. But for phone use that is acceptable imo.
Of course this all assumes you don't have to pay on a per sms basis.
Hi! theloanranger said he extracted the 750v threaded app already. It's at:

NOTE: Some of us are having issues. We CANNOT send an SMS to an email address. We get an error message:
"Could not send message. The message center number or the email center number is invalid. Please contact the wireless operator."
Now, in the SMS app, if you go to Menu --> Options --> Advanced tab
Network Configuration/Manual/Edit...
You'll see spots for "message center number" and "email center number" and both are blank. When you put in a number (such as found here: http://www.smsfre.com/SMS-Mesaging-Centers.htm ) they do not stick after hitting "OK".
Any help/ideas?
After searching the forums I am unable to find an answer to this one.
How do I set HTC Home middle button (SMS) to open O2 SMS Plus instead of tmail when I press it. I searched the registry and came up dry and there is no setting I see in HHC. Actually if there is a way to set O2 SMS Plus as the default SMS/MMS application for the entire BA I would prefer that. I use Gmail for email and that requires tmail so I was afraid to change it in HKLM/software/microsoft/shell/rai/MSINBOX as I presumed I would lose access to Gmail.
Thanks in advance to all who answer.
Nobody knows
Well 2 days and 118 views with no responses pretty much implies that either I was not very clear or nobody has an answer.
In case I was unclear I am looking for a way to make O2 SMS Plus the default sms reader/composer instead of the MS one (tmail). But I must still use tmail for regular email such as Gmail.
Thanks again. Even if nobody knows this I have gleaned so much information from this forum/wiki that it won't hurt my feelings any.
You've probably had this answered long ago, but I thought I'd write in for anyone else who finds this thread.
The way to edit which program gets called through HTC Home is to edit the file HTCHome.dll with a hex editor, and then re-signing the dll. Unfortunately, HTCHome.dll only uses one reference to tmail.exe for both SMS and email, so if you change one it changes both of them. So the above isn't possible, I believe...
