How do you send a SMS to 96 recipients?

Hello,
I know this has been asked before without reaching any satisfying solution, but who knows... maybe someone found a magic trick lately...
I have to send a SMS message to a large number (96) of recipients. Adding them to the "To:" field just doesn't work - probably some overflow error caused by too many recipients. Does anyone have any actual solution?
Until now the best shot seemed to be "Simple SMS" (the software), but I just can't seem to config it to work with the 9100/Wizard. Maybe some other add-on software?
I'm quite desperate, as this looks like a mailing list I have to contact quite often...
Thank you in advance for your help!

you could try Microsoft outlook for contacts, and outlook express for email.
I am not sure but I think using Microsoft outlook may be easier to send to 96 people. Good luck with your replies.

have you tried O2SMSPlus?

I googled O2 SMS Plus but it looks like it is a proprietary app... is there a downloadable version out there, and does it actually do the trick?

i'm using a BA on AKU3.0, and the app posted in the following thread works. it enables you to choose from the addressbook which names to send the message to, and subsequently sends them one by one.

if it doesn't work for you, you can always uninstall it. good luck.

Hello everybody!
First of all congratulations for an excelent work! Keep it up!
I have a suggestion to make regarding an aplication for HTC Touch Diamond. It would be very useful for me (and for many others I'm sure) to protect my sent and received messages (sms, mms and email) by a password. I have a very curious wife-to-be and I really don't want her to find the messages I send and receive from other women ... hehehe It would be great if you could make an aplication like this .... I'll be more then willing to pay for it!
Can someone help me with an aplication for voice commands? I can't find one anywhere.
Thanks!

stop sending texts to people you shouldnt.

It does exist already. Try EZ secret sms.

thanks ... i'm gonna look for it!

I tried EZ secret sms but it's not that great! It's very hard to work with because you must specify the contacts you want the messages to be protected and the graphics are quite bad and slow. Besides, it only works for sms, without email and mms
I was thinking at something that just adds a password to messaging. It's much easier like this!

Anyone with a suggestion ???

This should work: [Link]
You could've searched you know
EDIT: Sorry. Since I'm retarded, I didn't see that is QVGA only right now. Keep an eye on this thread. The Dev will probably make it VGA soon.

Thanks ... I'll be monitoring this thread ... I hope someone will make it work eventualy

You can lock your phone, so no one could enter it.. throttlelock is an android like lock security program..

I think it's also possible to make it a startup program, so even after a reset, ur phone should be locked..

Magic with 2.1 caller id problem

Hi,
My problem is that i am located in a country where there are 7 digit numbers.
If i flash a 2.1 android rom without HTC sense i do not have any issues on caller id- meaning if i get a call from example : number 7770777 caller name shows and on sms as well.
If i flash a legend dump for ex android 2.1 with HTC Sense i get the caller id issue - meaning
if i save a number 7770777 - name will show on calls but on sms with not see name but rather +2307770777 (country code at first) and vice versa.
To solve this i have to save one contact with 2 phone numbers one as 7770777 and other as +2307770777 to be able to see names upon sms and calls.
I have 1800 contacts and it is bumming me out!
I know it is located in the android kernel or system somewhere - one of my deductions is of the ++(libsqlite.so file)++.
I like to have the help on this like which file do i have to modify or any commands or any tools needed to do this. I dont mind donating if i get help from you guys.
Thanks a lot!

same here
i have the exact same problem.. i hope someone can find a solution for it

someone must have a solution ??
i have exactly the same problem. there must be a way to change the number of digits used for caller id.
HELP

found something, but need help
i've found an interesting link:
h__p://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/external/sqlite.git;a=commitdiff;h=3fffdd3714c6d4de821269bcefb65d897151c2f2;hp=7bb17d6e6c99d4b2fa23ab57020cef4040373b24
something to do with MIN_MATCH, but i have no clue on how to change that on the phone itself

You don't need to save both numbers. Just the one with the country code is enough.

Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general

thanks, but doesnt work. most of my numbers are stored international format but when i receive a local call (while in the country) it displays as 01234567 not +ccc1234567.therefore unfortunatly the problem remains.

Problem Solved
Hi everyone,
The problem is solved for me! A developer i work with, created a patch for sms problem unfortunately it only works in my country. It seems HTC in its database has wrong info and has my country in 8 digits whereas here its 7 digits. So the developer created a fix that corrects the problem by intercepting the sms before it displays then pulling out the 7 last digits and thus problem solved however its a fix and cannot upload as it is already in my phone.
Basically i recommend asking a dev to help you on this. It modifies or adds a database file thats all i know. I paid him to do the job. I hope this helps you guys somehow. If you need more info feel free to contact me. Also pl note that the there was a time issue . The system time showed the good time and widget was 1hour in advance he fixed that too. Problem was weather and time are directly related in HTC Sense roms. Its the database of htc which is wrong for some countries. That is gmt +5 instead of gmt +4

I know this is an old thread, but in case someone's still looking here go to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160343

HTC Sense + Facebook Sync = Epic fail?

Hi Folks
Don't know if i have found major flaw in the HTC Sense and Facebook sync software.
Here is the story, i have all my contacts stored on my phone with the correct phone numbers. And you know how you can link your contacts in your phone with there facebook profile so that you get there profile picture showing up and there latest status update scrolling along the screen when they call you? So that is all very pretty and cool but......
I have just discovered that if the persons profile has there phone number added to it, HTC will decide that it knows your contacts better than you and CHANGE the phone number you have stored in your phone for that person to an INCORRECT format.
Here is what i mean, the numbers in my phone book are stored as 07 or +447 as the start digits (I'm in the UK and all mobiles start 07). When i link the contact with there facebook profile and the profile has a phone number stored, HTC Sense will automatically change the number in my phone into the following format: 447*********
Now if you note that number has no + at the start of it and this means that i CANNOT phone that person! It took me about a month to work out why i couldn't call half the people in my phonebook, everytime i phoned someone it would say 'the number you have dialled has not been recognised!' and i eventually worked it out the HTC and Facebook have effed up my phone book.
Now this wouldn't be such an issue if you could edit the number to the correct format but you CAN'T!!! When you go to edit the number it shows the number in the correct format that i had originally entered it! ie. either 07 or +447!
So for the now i have had to unlink all my contacts from Facebook and have ended up with a pretty boring screen when people phone or txt me.
Anyone else had this issue? Or know how to fix it?
If HTC read this can you issue a fix? Because i don't think that you or facebook knows better than i do!

no problem here i have linked to facebook and my numbers work
I have both 447######## and 07######## type numbers they work ok
my 447 numbers are facebook contacts i did not have thier numbers previously and my 07 numbers are mates I already had their numbers and linked afterwards
Hope this helps

Well must b something to do with my network (o2) or whatever. Cos i certainly can't dial a 447 number.
But the main point i think is why does HTC think its knows what your stored number should be? lol
Cyberdyne systems are certainly starting to take over now surely! lolol

fail
epic fail i think

Indeed epic...
I got exactly the same problem with Polish operator Plus GSM -> cant call contact which was synchronized with Facebook...
HTC Sense shows all contacts which were synced with Facebook without leading "+" or "00" which ends up with message like "The number you have dialed has not been recognized"
Any one know how to fix it...??

P.S. Hope HTC will read this topic.. .

Same problem with me in Georgia.
only workaround, I've found is begging all my friends, not to specify phone numbers on facebook
If anyone has a solution, I will be very grateful.

Yep same here, definitely a bug. I will research this one....

Hi,
I contacted an official HTC Support to help in this case.
They confirmed that this bug exist, but they also pointed Facebook and the Facebook Phonebook as a bug source.
I was also recommended to use "Prefixer" from Android Market to temporarily solve this problem.

Greg

Wow! thanks,
will try Prefixer as soon as I can

Yep it's a flaw, I used a little workaround but it would change back when receiving a text or something. Edit facebook number set it to home rather than mobile then let it save go back into out then save the homer number as mobile. I think that's how I did it. I use aosp rom now.

Foxy are you saying the AOSP ROM has this bug fixed out of the box? If so I can investigate that ROM and maybe make a patch
Prefixer works for calls but not for text

Hi,
It seems that they fix this problem.
Can anyone confirm..??

I heard htc will soon by releasing the latest sense ui v3.0 to all froyo models including wildfire.
Is it true?

Yeah, I'm sure you can reverse engineer HTC's crappy phone dialer/messaging/contacts.
AOSP works out of the box because it uses AOSP apps.
