I'm was a web application developer for years. I'm dabbling in programming in a dialog/event environment by writing an app on my tilt. big change for me.
I wrote a simple app on my tilt that connects to a server, gets data, and reports it to a screen. This server will report send things that change as time goes on. The way I currently have the program, when the user selects "connect" it will connect, get the data, then log off. then it calls the report screen and updates the data. to get changes, you press the connect button again. It is working to this point!
As I understand it, it should be wrote using onReceive events and such. This is above my skill and my googling isnt finding much on how to do this, especially in a PPC environment. I've wrote this using MS Visual Sudio 8 using C++. It's a very simple application.
I'm wondering if someone would take what I have and modify the code to work so the connection stays active, and as data comes in, it takes that data in and update the report screen.
I'd think this would be pretty simple and menial for someone that codes is this environment daily.
I can paypal for this if the price is reasonable. Leave a reply here or PM if interested with desired price.
Thank you!

Well, I've got Gmail set up with the messaging application on my Wizard running WM5. But this does not offer any option to setup peaktimes and offpeak times for the "Send and Receive" function. Only option is to set the interval in minutes.
Any solution.
I basically do not want to "Send/Receive" at nights and on Sunday....
Thanks in advance.

I know I have seen programs that do this, but for the life of me, I cannot find them. I wonder if they have all gone away, for some reason...
AHA!
Persistence pays off, at last. I have found this: http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-bandswitch-v1-2-3.html
It functions like MoDaCo's (may require free registration to download files) NoData application (which I was prepared to offer you as a stop-gap measure) except for one HUGE difference, it has a sleep timer like you wanted...
You'll have to guinea pig yourself, I don't have time to put the app through its paces.
Sorry, link was dead, but I tracked down the cab file.
D/L directly: www.commmgrpro.com
Use at your own risk. I just discovered it has a 15 day trial period, and the guy wants 10 Euro for the license. Seems kind of steep to me.
As a last resort, use NoData to disable everything before bedtime, and just switch everything back on when you get up. If I find something else, I'll post it here.
After some quick fooling around with my 8125 during lunch, I discovered that I can disable all network access (not just the phone) simply by putting my phone in airplane mode. Seems to block programs that automatically log on when functioning, too.
Give it a try.

Thanks for your replies... disabling network access is not really the solution I'm looking for. What I'm trying to do is reduce data traffic on the network (very expensive in India). Currently I've set up Gmail to be synched every hour instead of 15 minutes that I'd like to do. I hardly receive important email on Saturdays and Sundays. So I basically wanted to skip that.
Anyways, now I'm just switching off Auto synching on fridays and bringing it back on on Mondays... ;-)
The Idea is an Application that Autoposts to a Web Page the Current Time, Lat, Long etc to a persons personal Web Handling page....
Thoughts for Preferences Would be something like
FORM FIELDS
Send Lat as: <LAT>
Send Lon as: <LON>
Send Time as: <TIME>
Send Elev as: BLANK
etc., etc.
SEND CRITERIA
Distance Changes >: <10> <mi>
Time Increments : <30> <min>
Dont send if Distance not met in time <checked>
Resend Later if Data Send Fails <checked>
WEBADDRESS
Send to: <http://gis.mymapsite.com/Upload.cfm>
Send as: Form <unchecked> or URL <checked>
The concept is that it sends out on a timed, distance, or time/distance combo bases to this site your URL Position so coders Code write their own server side code to log this data or do whatever with it.
this example would look like http://gis.mymapsite.com/Upload.cfm?LAT=45.6789&LON=-90.45679&TIME=10162008
I've been web app programming for so long that i'm not sure I could just pick up VB as fast as I'd like...if somebody likes this App and is willing to tackle it I will donate both time and money...if Not could somebody tell me What i need to get started programming this myself i.e. Programming apps, SDKs etc...I dont have any Visual tools...so what would be the cheap and easy start?

I do need something Diff but That is a Freakin Awesome App
As soon as Alltel has "MY" Diamond in Stock I am so there with that Tool.
My problem is I Want to use my Own code and my Own Geospatial Database for this so i really just need a very tamed down tool for what im thinking...
...I suppose when i get the chance I could see how the submit works and tame it from there and junk his server code for mine...
THANKS FOR THAT POST...I LOVE THE APP
Hello All.
I am currently in the process of developing an application to text mobiles via an activesync connected device.
So no subscriptions, no pay per text etc etc.. Simply uses your phone\tarrif to send messages..
I was considering releasing it on here, and wondered what (if any) would the interest be? Would anyone use it?
It's in the early dev stages at the moment... But I am willing to consider BETA testers.
Would you be willing?
Cheers
MikeSel^
yes i would love to help beta your application. let me know when its ready! cheers!
Sounds good, I had a program to do this with my ancient Nokia.
If you can make it provider independent I would love to test it
I would also love to help beta your application. let me know when its ready! Thanks
Would you be able to make it read text's also, so you could use it like an email client - would be easier for me to send texts whilst at work like this.
I would be willing to test.
I would use this daily as i send alot of text messages!
this would be great, my phone is hooked up to activesync the whole time at work and im constantly sending txts.
I can send texts from MS Outlook 2k7, no activesync or phone hookup needed- but I think you have to have Sprint as a carrier and a hotmail account.
Thanks for your replies..
I will add them all to my development plans, and post up once the beta is ready to test.
This will be completely independant from any carriers as it will simply use your phones carrier to send\receive messages!
If you have any feature requests feel free to reply with them now.
Thanks

Ability to browse inbox/sent items if you can please - so no interaction with the phone is needed.
Also, mark messgaes read/unread and delete.
They are all i would probably use. Cheers for the effort man!
Read/Unread... Good idea!!
**Runs off to implement**
KEEP UM COMING!
I use my mobile from desktop by using http://www.jeyo.com/index.asp its not free but works well for me.
I'm very interested in this...
Will you run a client application on the device, or are you directly accessing the data? (RAPI maybe?)
Well the idea stems from Jeyo, I've used it for ages.. But I feel there are parts missing from it. An I like to be able to customize the software to how I want to use it.
I am currently using RAPI with a 'server\client' type thing going on. However I am not sure this will be how it ends up. Depends on how much I can squeese from RAPI.
Looking forward to this mate, should be a good little project for you.
I know what u mean with customizing software that ur using.

OK, how about supporting command line so that i can send txt msgs using my '.net programs'.
Even better would be to expose a sort of API through a dll file.
I would love that.
Ok, Well my proof of concept exe may help you there.. The exe simply reads from a text file. First line phone number, next line message..
So I have an app that creates the text message copies it to the device and then starts the exe. Which sends the exe,,
So if you want to use this, make the text file in the root of the device and run the exe.
I will build in a similar function to the final version.
Thanks
Mike
cool im looking forward to this. it would be really usefull.
im up for this too....will it work with Vista?
mDesktop is wicked for txtin from tour desktop, if you have ur diamond connected the txts pop up on you monitor 2
If you haven't tried Mobliza it lets you set automatic SMS responses and it can even contextually respond to texts. It is a free download from http://get.mobliza.com/
In the first mode you can use one of the preset responses to texts like "Hey Doug, I'm driving right now I'll get back to you in a few minutes" and it will fill in their name automatically. You can also add your own message (which it will save so you can pull it up later from a drop down menu) which can also have name, date, time auto fill-ins.
The second mode is a contextual response to texts so if someone emails you “Are you trying to be smart?” it will automatically respond with something like “Why would you ask me if I’m trying to be smart?” so you don't even need to be there to respond. It’s a pretty novel idea and it works well in practice but obviously it doesn't make plans or think for you
You can also respond to senders, in case you need to respond to them, right inside the app. Also, you can tap the conversation window to call the sender back.
There's a more complete writeup located here: http://www.fuzemobility.com/a-better-way-to-respond-to-texts-mobliza/
The developer is very responsive to feedback so feel free to provide it here, directly at the developers site or on the FuzeMobility thread. Enjoy.
I am creating an application where it will send a pre-prepared text to selected people at a push of a button. The reason for this is that I am a volunteer firefighter and most of us have pagers. Some of us do not have pagers since the department ran out and they are not in the budget to buy more right now.
Anyways, I have the basic layout that I would like set up.... And that's about it. I am used to javascript but that is a little different then Java. I am using the Eclipse program to code.
Here's my priorities to get working first:
-Have a message sent when button is pushed (message can be hard coded now so it works. would like to be able to edit it later)
-Be able to select contacts the message is sent to
Future wishes:
-Be able to add new messages
-Be able to edit messages
-Manage messages (mainly a list of the messages in scrollable list view)(popup for Edit|Delete)
Example Message:
(DEPT NAME) Alert:
Fire Alarm Activation
Time sent: 1830
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So right now I need help with:
Adding the SMS service to send out the text message when the button is pressed
Selecting contacts to send the message to
Coding in the message
If you can find a guide on how to do that, it would be greatly appreciated. I am completely new to android programming so please don't bash me for something that may seem completely easy.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Probably a free app out there.
Why not just make a Contact with multiple phone numbers in it and create the text using default SMS app? If speed is of the essence, then pre-define some "codes" for certain events much like on a pager where you get a "911" from a caller.
And don't take this the wrong way because I know a few volunteers and appreciate their service because it is NOT "easy", but a PAGER? Haven't they gone the way of the floppy disk? LOL That's a damn tight budget there!
I have looked and haven't seen one that will fit my needs.
Speed is essence in this case because i want to be able to open up the app and then hit a button to send the text so I am not fiddling with my phone while driving to the station.
I have the basics of the program worked out. I have all the messages pre-set and sendable, but only to one person.
(for those looking for a guide on how to implement SMS messaging, this is a great one that shows you step by step: http://mobiforge.com/developing/story/sms-messaging-android)
I am now stuck on being able to send it to multiple people at the same time. Current code:
callStructureFire.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
String msgText = "IHBVFD PAGE OUT:\nStructure Fire\nTimeout:"+formattedTime;
String contacts = "5556";
sendSMS(contacts, msgText);
}
});
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
(Red is where the numbers go. I am using Eclipses emulator's to test so i have 5554(main) 5556 and 5558 (testing for receiving messages))
When I try to do "String contacts = "5556, 5558(with and without the space)";", it will send the message to the first phone but not the second. On a real phone, it does not send the messages at all.
I also still need to implement a contact selection which I have been looking on google for a few hours now and cant find a guide on how to do it. What I would like to happen is when you press the phones menu button, it gives the option to manage the recipients (or even a group) and for that selection to stick even if I leave the app/restart the phone/whatever.
I really would like to get this all done by Thursday night so I can start using it.
No offense taken. The thing is that my department is strictly volunteer. We get about 100 calls a year so we do not have the call volume to get paid. Being strictly volunteer also means the the city does not charge taxes to the residents. We are really only funded by donations and fundraisers (which we do 2-3 a month). With pagers (Minitor IV) being around $140+ on ebay and then $30-50 for programming them... Yeah... It gets kinda pricy for 4 pagers lol.
Can anyone help me get multiple contacts working at least? Really want to have this done soon.
Skull, I am guessing your Communications center does not support any type of email or txt ripnruns for calls?
If either are supported, we use IamResponding.com and also CADPage (free on the market). Our center only sends emails but we have it getting parsed down to a compact format and resent as TXT. PM me if you want/need more info.
I cannot speak enough about both of these solutions!
Our dispatcher is our police dept. We have recently talked about IAmResponding within the dept but that got shot down by the officers because that's an extra 3-800 a year... And again, not everyone has pagers so they still wouldn't really know if we have a call. I am still trying to get them to do the 2 month trial. CADpage isn't supported in my county.
We have looked into those, but for now this program is the only option that I can see :/
