looking for SMS that annouce - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

been using various sms program. none have been able to annouce the incomming sms messages. I really do like to hear my text message being read. Is there any program that has sms feature but annouce it too?
i've used palm's sms and vito. the various sms software that i found else where that is not well discussed as the two mentioned.
if i can hack the registry to also store my texts in its default location while having palm's sms receive the text...i really like palm's sms, but it takes out my text inbox...i think voice command only reads text inbox.
other suggest downloading wm6.1, doesn't work with sms.
tested with samsung i760.

try the new ZoomSMS.. has a registry option to notify..

Try MS Voice Commad 1.6, It will read your message to you as you recieve it. Just hope you dont get one from thw wife/girlfriend during a business meeting.

Yes, my wife uses the MS Voice command to read her SMS's out loud. As a joke, I send her crap when I know she is with other people. She doesn't see the humor in it like I do.

Hehe i did this when a friend of mine had software for outlout reading of s60 device content installed on his n70 while in pub it had czech support, but i never heard funnier voice read out crap and czech curse words

Lol, we live in units, and the outside plumbing for the sewerage system broke.
I was in a meeting when I got, at max volume"
"Giant crap just outside window, think I'm gonna puke, leaving"
Lol, I have never been so proud of my GF

Sms Usage / Counter

I could not find a topic of this? if u do please place below.
My question is
Is there any software for the wizard, who counts the total sms that were sended.
I found one called calltime app, but it's in german.
i'd rather prefer english
someone?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=37700&highlight=
Asked something very similar and didnt really get that far. Thought it would have been a very popular type of program to have. I even thought you would maybe be able to have a counter on your today screen of how many minitues and texts you had left for that month.
Would have been cool.
That's probably dktoday. It counts your sms's send, used minutes today & this (user adjustable month). Shows current act.operator & turns off screen when pressed, switches on BT on incoming call. Switches BT when BT icon is pressed. & it shows missed calls today.
Sounds good, so if anyone does come accross an english version Id like to know about it

Thats a bit harsh from the posts above it implied only a foriegn one was available.
& that's the prob. with writing in a foreign language. I couldn't find a emoticon expressing my tone. So no hard feelings pls.
Only the first post mentioned german, the rest English I guess. Hope you like dktoday I certainly do.
lol...no probs. Just put it on looks like just what i need and seems to work a treat!
EDIT : SMS counter doesnt seem to be working though.
I don't send a lot of sms's, but belief mine are counted on receiving the delivery notification & that's no good indeed. Maybe you can contact the developer about it.
I heard that the newest version of phonealarm is counting SMS. But there is one problem - it just counts the number of messages, not the number of SMS sent - in case you send messages longer 160 chars (which will be sent in multiple SMS) the counter won't be reliable... :?

devloper and hacker app of the year.. chat style sms... from the treo 750v

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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1035112&posted=1#post1035112
Can somebody try it and post the screenshots please? I'm so looking forward to using it with my Pocket Loox T830 (not arrived yet)
Screenshots/Need some help!
Screenshots are found here:
http://discussion.treocentral.com/showpost.php?p=1106882&postcount=15
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?

Can't find tethered SMS program

A friend of mine installed the program but doesn't remember where he found it and I've looked through the Hermes forum as well.
Please, anybody....I need tethered messaging. It makes conversations so much easier. If a link can be left and any instructions for installation (if needed) it would be very appreciated.
Try searching for "threaded SMS".
Are you thinking something like Jeyo Mobile Extender for Outlook? Or did you mean threaded SMS?
It's tethered SMS. It's set up like an instant message conversation seperated by the contact you're having a conversation with showing both party's text messages.
As I said above, it is called "Threaded SMS". If you insist on calling it "Tethered SMS", you will never find it.
check out this link, it is called Palm SMS Threader.
if you're sitting at a computer, why not just fire up an IRC client and talk that way? much cheaper (if you actually pay for text msg's..i dont) and more straightforward..
i just cant see a conversation through sms, especially since there is a character limit on a message. any real convo going on would be interrupted by you having to open the next sms every 160 characters heh..
try codys sms from wmexperts.XXX

Threaded SMS doesn't quite work that way, instead of just a character count you get "0 characters 1 message" along the bottom. I've never gone over 320 characters but I assume its possible. the program breaks the message apart into multiple messages. Probably a pain in the ass on the receiving side, but haven't had any complaints, it is rather rare that I compose a text message of said length... for that there's always email.

Sorry, this part of your post made me giggle like an adolescent
Check it Out
Are you talking about the one that functions like the one in the IPHONE.
If so I got your fix here. Hope it is the one you where looking for.

i just tried that, didn't like it, and now i can't remove it... i uninstalled it but it is still there, and now it fails to install a second time so i can try to uninstall a 2nd time. not to mention that after install i found it erased all my messages... so yeah i guess it is time for second hard reset in 3 days.
Try Cody's Threaded SMS
I like it. Works just like the instant messaging program on Palms

Understadning vc1.6 and sms

i know that voice command 1.6 can annouce incoming text messages. some refers to have them be called sms. regardless of the case, it annouces incoming text (sms). when i installed palm's threaded sms, my incoming text is not pronoucing it. can you help to explain why?

Yes I can. It is because you have not searched the site for the already started topic to where a solution maybe found. So please search "voice command text message" or "voice command sms" or any other combination you may think of and see the hits it brings up.
i don't think installing sms can
george, i read thru a lot of palms' threaded sms with no luck. before i installed the palms', my incoming text annouces. after palms', i don't hear it anymore. I read thru a lot of palms' topic on this site and ppcgeeks. none has an answer for it.

I don't disagree with you that there may or may not be an answer. I am asking you kindly to post in the threads all ready started on this subject to keep continuity. That way when someone else comes along we can direct them and it be affective.
thanks.
chillax, dude.
The problems arent related.
The OP is asking a good question. Basically, VC is written by Microsoft and so is designed to operate with system commands as MS designed them.
When you are using the Palm messaging app, you're actually circumventing the MS messaging app that would normally handle the new SMS, and using the plam app instead as a replacement.
VC does not recognize the palm app and therefore doesn't know to announce anything.
The same is true of Media Players and other system alternatives- if you use mortplayer or htc music manager for your tunes, VC will still only know how to control Windows Media Player.
The threads George is referring to are talking about a different problem.
Hope that clears things up.

What is the voice command

...To have the bloody thing read an SMS message?
I have looked, but cannot find this though I know it can do it.
I'm still trying to figure out the command to make it wash my dishes.

Based on what I've seen, MS voice command doesn't work right on the HD2. It wont read your SMS messages - and even worse it won't announce your incoming caller's info either.
Someone out here on the forum talked to HTC about the problem & they know about it (not that they've fixed it)
Thank you for that.
I spoke to a rep at Tmo and one at HTC and both said they were unsure that the device cold do this.
I told them I was POSITIVE that it is supposd to be able to do it, but no one had an answer.
Appreciate the info.
I've been using MS Voice Command to read the subject of urgently marked e-mail messages for a number of years on various WM devices. On my TMOUSA HD2 it almost works--only about the first half of the subject is read aloud. The second half gets read aloud when the next e-mail message is received.
It seems like is must be a filled/over-filled buffer problem/bug.
