Can someone please suggest a software that can help me view the SMS messeges stored on my xda (running windows mobile 5) on notepad or word?
I'm in dire need because i have over 6000 sms's that i need to store and view for record keeping. but i was extremely surprised that windows doesnt have an option to view the sms's on pc and i've been searching for such software on the net like a lost goat, but no success.
I would be appreciated if you could suggest something.
I would try PSPad. It'll read ascii, hex, xml, and about a half-dozen other formats, and it's a free tool.

Has anyone found a way of saving sms messages to their pc? for both viewing or creating? I have 100s in my inbox and would like to keep them, but not sure how to do it.
Any info would be gratefully appreciated

There are some programs that apparently do this, such as SMSExport, though I've never got these to work.
The only way I've found to do it - though as the II has more memory I've not done anything with them in months now - is to use a db program such as dbExplorer to export them to a csv file. There are other posts that detail how you find the particular table the messages are in, there isn't one folder that applies across all devices.

Try Jeyo Mobile Companion. Through your pc, you can view all your past sms, all incoming sms, and reply to them. You could back up all or some of your sms, and restore them later (if you want). You could choose to make the backups in text format.
And not only that ...
You can view your call history and make backup of those.
You can make screen caps of your ppc screen.
Hope this helps.
Try this one
:lol:
Jeyo's Mobile Companion is fantastic, exactly what I've been looking for since the first XDA came out.
Finally resetting your device (which I think is a good idea once every 6 months or so) doesn't mean you have to lose all your text messages.

Yes, I agree it is fantastic .... But it doesn't yet allow you to save SMS subfolders
Hi Folks,
This is my first post, although I've owned my XDAIIs for several weeks and I've ROM'd it to the iMATE 1.4 ROM. So I've had a good play.
I was looking at smsOrganizer (from Jeyo) which is badly supported (and it ain't free) and I wondered why I (we) couldn't write something to do the same thing, for free.
Is there a forum for this kind of activity, or could someone point me in the direction of some exmples of how to pass data between the PC and phone?
Best regards

Andrew, look into RAPI: eg here
http://msdn.microsoft.com/archive/default.asp?url=/archive/en-us/dnarppc2k/html/ppc_teapppi.asp
Development and Hacking is the right place for this kind of query...what do you want the app to do?

Hi V,
Basically I want to control the SMS message transfer on my XDA from Outlook, just like smsOrganizer.
Re. your link, I think we've got those? but I generally write embedded C, non of this fancy C++ stuff :-((
AndrewB
Hi V,
I just tried this :
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;307256
And I can now copy files to and from my device
Not bad for 1 hours playing, specially as I've fixed 2 work related bugs too )
Andrew B
Good stuff.
I'm just learning C++ actually, I never learnt C, coming from self-taught VB on the PC.
RAPI is the way to do most PC<>PDA communications, although right now I'm only just getting into sms stuff. It'd be easy enough (I think) to write an interface to create an SMS on the PC in text, transmit that to the PDA and then SMS it off, but the backend of it would require some implementation.
Keep us posted though!

99% of c programs should compile and work just fine on
c++ compilers and you can write c++ programs without using
oop in which case they are pretty much c programs
From what I've read it looks as if you need to write an app to sit on the device and another app on the main PC. The app on the phone just acts as an agent passing data between the sms services and the PC.
Anybody got any ideas?
AndrewB
Yipeeeee
I can now write a DLL that sits on the device and I can write a C++ application on my PC to communicate with it
Now to start reading some text messages from the device to the PC......
Does anybody know agood way to send and recieve SMS ?? I would also like to edit the text and pass it to an Edit Box.
I am not too sure about the available API's that will let me do this.
Please HELP :shock:
Hey , i would like to send and recieve SMS on my xda2. Also pass the recieved message into an Edit Control. Does anybody know a good way to do this ??
I know about the SMS API but i am unaware of others. Pleas Help !! thnkx
SMS Auto sending
Hi everybody,
Is there a way to auto send all sms in draft? Basically, every sms in draft folder needs to be send one by one by ticking send button.
OK,
I can now send a text message from my PC to a DLL on my phone using RAPI, then send a SMS using MAPI.
The trouble is I can't get the subject and body fields to display correctly on my XDAIIs. Also I can't get the Name to appear instead of the number.
I'll try to post the code later on the understanding that it is FREE and we pool our experiences/knowledge.
Here is the code for the DLL and the PC program. Just press one of the keys on the tol bar to send the message. The number and message are hard coded.
There are ABSOLUTELY NO guarentees with this code, use it at you own risk.
can it recieve SMS as well ?? Has any body thought about other API's to use for sending and recieving SMS's maybe ?
Well.... Not yet.
This is my first ever .net VC++ program !!!!
There are lots of code snipets around but no full source code.
This is a work in progress project hence it is in the "Development and Hacking" fourm.
If you'd like to add some functionality to it......
I am asking because there seems to be a problem when trying to recieve SMS with SMS api as the HANDLE is already attributed to the messaging application (inbox/draft/outbox).
I believe you are using RAPI ? However i do not understand this API that well could u specify a bit more ?
Thanks for your help.
Hi nutitija,
I'm only using the RAPI function to pass parameters from my PC to the XDA. The actual sending of messages is done using the MAPI in the XDA.
My biggest problem is getting the subject/body and from fields to display correctly in the different XDA mail views.
hi Guys!
I've bought an i-mate jasjar, and I'm selling a nokia n70.
Now the problem is how can i pass the sms from the nokia to the universal...
I don't know how i can do it. The extraction of the text is not a problem, thanks to nokia suite. I thinked that maybe some of you know how i can edit a .txt file and save it with a certain extension to make it readable for the ppc.
Or maybe i can "hack" a backup of the sms editing the text, the date of the sms and other information, but I don't know how to do it.
someone can help me?
PS i also thinked to create some email with the text and sincronize it with outlook, but the email must be "sent" from the autor of the sms and have to have the date of the sms.
PPS sorry for my english
Wouldnt it be easier to type them out on your shiny new thumb-keyboard?? test your WPM skills?
You have a choice of notes, MS Pocket Word, or messaging including email or SMS...
;-)
I know i can do it, but i don't want to make it in this way. I would like to have the possibility to read all my sms in the message board of the pda, I would like to backup all the messages in one file with sunnysoft backup manager and not to have the backup plus the folder of the txt messages...
I know I can solve the problem in a lot of ways, but I'm a little "perfectionist"
Is one of the ways I wrote possible to make?
or is there another similar way?
Vijay? Buzz??
ehm what? i don't know those programs...
Hi Man....
Try Message Saver or Message Storer on N70...extract all SMS in text format and copy it to yr Jasjar.Only thing is that u won't be getting in Inbox..but u will get the full details...viz who had sent,time amd the full SMS..seperated with the dots or dashes...
Secondly connect yr N70 to PC vi PC Suite..use file manager option and open the messages...copy them in text format with details and pass them on to yr jasjar
Thirdly u can try using Oxygen Phone Manager for Symbian Phones
I hope this helps
thank you for your suggestion, but i think i didn't explain me. The problem is not how to take out the text of the message form the sms, for this i can use the nokia suite.
I've already tried Oxygen Mobile Phone (I had the oppisite problem when I passed from the alpine to the n70 and x51v - a big big mistake), and it didn't work. Well, to say the true, i didn't remember if Oxygen can convert the sms into email or not, but the computer where it was is, for the moment, a little "detroyed"...
Damn, if I would know how the sms function on windows mobile (are in only one file, one file per sms, two or more files for every sms...) and the registry keys or other things i could put it manually by myself...
For me it's ok also the indication of how to hack a backup of the message with sunnysoft backup manager or sprite backup...
ok I have an idea: I'll do a copy of the folder windows after an Hr, then i'll do a copy of the same folder after I've received an sms. The problem is that I can't copy the folder because a lot of files are in usa. What can i do?
had the same problem moving from Nokia9500 to M5000.
Just put another, say, pay-as-you-go SIM in the Nokia and forward your messages to the SIM number for your jasjar. End of sorry story!
I can do it also in this way, but it will be nothing more than the solution of the txt file...
it can be a way...
but i would like to solve this problem. With the alpine i had the same problem, and i solved by searching the file of the sms on the nokia, open it with word and edit it with the notepad.
Now, I don't think I'm the first with this problem. So there must be a guy who know what file do I have to take and edit....
searching on this forum I've found a post of vijay wich says that the sms and the other stuff are in the file cemail.vol
But he don't says how to modify or copy it: it is a system file, and if i try to copy it wm says that this file is in use...
Someone can help me?

I've understood only now that you were summoning vijay and buzz

Hello guys, i have a lot of sms texts that i have from my girl, and i wish to save all the sms she ever sent to me on the pc. But how can i export al my sms to the pc? Because if i use pim backup i cant read it on my pc! Help please!
Hi. You can export the SMS's with the tool SMSImport. This tool lets you save the messages to a *.xml. These files you can easily open with Notepad on your PC and save them as *.txt e.g.
Cheers.
Can you tell me where are my messages are stored on my x1? because i cant find it :/
You just have to put the program to your phone and click then "export...". Then you can select a place on your phone where you want to save your exported *.xml (only one file for all messages).
Did it work? Or just get a trail version of Jeyo Mobile Companion (google that) and you even can watch all the messages both of you wrote in a chat window. That is pretty and easy at the same time. Just a little hint...
it works, but all my messages are messed up and its a little hard to see who send me what etc.. ill try this trail later! thanks
To bring some structure in the *.xml you can open the file with Excel.
id use microsoft myphone then save them online then copy and paste them to pc ... word notepad etc.
