Hi,
I've searched the forums and couldn't really find a solution. I wanted to send and receive Chinese text for SMS. Is there any way that I can do this? Do I require to update to another firmware or do I just need to install some sort of software? Thanks.
I should add that I am subscribed to CE-Star and tried the methods as suggested in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332554) and they both don't work.
I CAN see and write text on HTML pages (like facebook updates), email etc, however, just when I use the same method to write a SMS message, it becomes a underscore line (something like _______________) where the chinese characters should be.
A friend of mine with a chinese OS Nokia phone is able to send me the chinese SMS text and I can read it fine, so I assume that it isn't a network issue?
Thanks again!

Hello,
I would like to use SMS in a new application using XDA. I want my application can read sms in inbox.
Do you know how I could see example of source code using SMS API? Or do you have such example to help me?
I got example to send sms but cannot get sample how to read the sms.
FYI, i am writing program using eVB.
Thanks a lot
You should take a look at PocketPC Network Programming by Steve Makofsky or simply try
http://groups.google.com/groups?q=pocketpc+sms+api&start=0&hl=de&ie=UTF-8&
and

SMS API is not easy.
Yup, it's not very easy, you need to learn about POOM...
I advise you to look into VB .net, it's been made a hell of a lot easier.
I still do it the Medieval way though! Win32 C++ all the way :shock:

I did include some C code on sending/reading SMS in this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=10761&highlight=
You are asking about reading messages in the Inbox that is when poom as mentioned by vijay555 comes into play.
I don't know anything about poom, but I have read incoming SMS by making my read thread take control of incoming SMS. This means that the message never goes into the inbox.
vangelderp: interesting code, not seen it before on the board. A very good way to do it. It doesn't need to be installed before pocket outlook etc does it? I don't imagine it does. Good stuff!

No it does not need to be installed before PPC Inbox (Outlook), what seems to happen is when a SMS message comes in the Inbox fires up. From that point on my code won't get a handle to SMSRead.
So what you need to do is do a warm reset and then start your user program (including my code sample) before any new incoming SMS messages and then it will get the SMSRead handle first. This then blocks Inbox getting a handle which I am sure it raises a error message on if you then try to go into inbox.
vangelderp: yup, that's what I thought. I never used that technique because of that, I stuck with POOM. But your createevent and thread work is very helpful.

SmsReadMessage of SMS.API
Thanks for your all comments.
Do you know how to use SmsReadMessage of SMS.API ?
This function is used to Reads a previously received SMS message. I really hope somebody else out there can help me how to use that function
Regards
You use SmsReadMessage like I do in the code attachment I have mentioned.
This function does not read a SMS message that has already been received by the normal PPC Inbox program. As said for that you need to use POOM.
SmsReadMessage for for your code to get a SMS Read Handle and then wait for the event (The Message) to occur and then use the SmsReadMessage function.
Exactly as I have done in my code snippit.
Hi,
I need your help to find out a software that I can use my HTC Touch Cruise to send and receive Unicode SMS messages via mobile phone.
I searched over and didn't find out a software that works with WM6. Can you help me to find one?
Thanks
Is it that hard to get?!
It looks like I am asking soming not easy to get! I did almost two weeks search for workable software. I only found one software which is called Instant SMS Sender. I tried it and it works. But it doesn't have must features like Indovisi SMS.
I hope someone can come up with better one. Lets look who is the Hero
Thanks
I found a very simple freeware software which is called zSMS v0.6. I tested and it works. It doesn't allow me to type unicode SMS. Did any body test to send unicode SMS using zSMS software?
Thanks
Try using Simple SMS V5.0 (For WM5 & WM6), and you may find your luck, depending on what type of handphone you are using.
Well, I still prefer Indovisi SMS but I am having the same problem with you.
Let me know if you find any better software too..
First of all, I must say that this xda-developers forum is a truly great place for information and help. I have already extracted enough information here to make my htc hd2 vastly enjoyable. Thanks to you all.
I am new to winmo, and right now I have a nagging problem:
I am using the tmobile htc hd2 with the latest rom.
I installed sunglobe.cab. So I can display chinese characters in most apps and web sites fine.
I also installed a chinese beta ime from qq, and used it to send chinese text messages and emails.
The chinese characters displayed fine when I type and send on my hd2. But upon receiving it, the display is garbage characters or simply ????.
If I send a chinese email from the hd2 to my email account on PC, I can display it fine. However, if I send a chinese email from PC to the hd2, the hd2 cannot display it properly.
I read from the forum that sunglobe.cab allows the sms text to display chinese characters, but I just can't get it to display on mine.
Please help!
Thanks a lot in advance.
Hey, check THIS thread out over at the HD2 ROM Development.
Wow thanks
For the quick reference. I will check it out.
So I have seen stuff all over the web about this topic, but have yet to find an answer. I am one of the many folks that has a problem with group messaging not working correctly. Here is what I have noticed so far.
If I use my stock messaging app to send a group message, it ALWAYS sends out as a group message.
When using Handcent, sometimes, yes just sometimes, when I send out a group message, it will send to each individual contact in that group message. Most times Handcent works properly though. Then every now and then, it sends all individual messages.
Anybody with an Iphone, or another Sprint Galaxy s4, I have no problems with. Theyre replies always come back as a group text
One friend, who has an android on Verizon, when he replies to the group, I not only get his message as if its just coming from him to me, it is also blank, and I cant read it.
Another friend, has an android, not sure what provider, but his messages can be read, but they also come back to me as individual messages.
Is there a different ROM that will solve this issue? I am using Stock 4.2.2, but it is rooted.
This is really annoying, so I wanted to see if anyone has figured this out yet.
me too
This is very annoying to me too. here's what happens to me.
My s4 is on Tmobile prepaid(has been for years since flexpay)
I use Google Voice for calls n text.
I use the native sms app to send/receive.
I use google voice to send/receive and to start my group messages.
Now my native app is starting to not send long messages, roughly 20 characters or more.
Same for my google voice app since the new yr.
I can send out group messages from my google voice app but the replies come back as individual.
All 1,500+ of my contacts use my google voice number to talk to me.
I dont know if this is related but I use Google voice build 0.2.2.80 and will not update yet.
I've attached my version rom. I've used Jovy xtremeperia rom for yrs and its been the best rom I've used thus far. I jus started having issues a month ago with group messaging. I have not done anything different and I never update apps or my rom unless comments say otherwise.
someone please help us if you know anything. I do not use my regular number so if this issue is google voice related please advise. Thanks in advance
For host alerts at my place of work we use Nagios to send email alerts to the email associated with our phone number by the carrier so if your phone number was 555-555-1234 you could send an email to your phone with:
SMTP:[email protected]
These come through as an email address and with I believe the stock app and Handcent I can reply to these the four digit code associated with an alert to acknowledge them and sort of take responsibility for fixing the issue. I was kind of wondering why only some apps support this and how some of them just fail to send. I was also kind of hoping there was a way to make all sms applications support this. I believe the apps that support it are converting from sms to mms because the target is an email. Which brings me to my apology if this is already a thread somewhere. It's incredibly difficult to search using the same keywords someone would use to do the opposite of what you're looking for. If a solution for this exists I'm sorry. Anytime I search for a solution to this I get "how to stop sms converting to mms" and many other similarly titled threads. Any ideas?
