I am currently working on an application that will auto reply to text messages when enabled. Reason behind this is in Canada it is illegal to use your handset while driving. I plan on expanding the pre-defined messages.
Cheers!
Have you checked out MagiCall at all? Doesn't have a very nice interface, but it's very powerful and versatile. You can use it to change outgoing dialed numbers (ie:for calling cards etc), auto reply to incoming SMS messages, as well as run commands and programs on incoming SMS messages.
I use it to auto-reply to anyone in my "Friends" categories if they call or text me during an appointment in my calendar.

EVery mobile phone I've had will let me dial phone numbers that are embedded in SMS messages that I receive as long as the phone number is in quotes. Eg, Please call Jon on "04144444444" Is there a way to do this on the XDA II Mini? Is there an add on program that'll let me do this or a special way to format incoming messages? I use a message service that sends me SMS alerts with the persons call back number in it. Thanks.
Hmm i use SMS receiving acknowledgement by standard.
Can i turn off the signaling for it?
I think just a popup is enough. I dont need a "beep beep" on my phone immediateley after sending a SMS to another.
Hello messia,
As the SMS notification is a simple SMS you recieve from the network when the recipient get your SMS, you have to deactivate the sounds for incoming SMS's.
You can controll all notifcations in the settings:
Start > Settings > Sounds & Notifications > Notifcations
(Start > Einstellungen > Sounds & Benachrichtigungen > Benachrichtigungen)
If you choose "Messaging: new SMS" (Messaging: neue SMS) , you can turn off the sound for incoming SMS messages.
The downside of this is that sound notification is disabled for all incoming SMSs, not only for the send notifcations.
Greetings,
BGK
thx but that is not the problem, the problem is that i want a sound for a new sms i get, but i don`t want a sound for a sms that someone receives from me.
A popup for this is sufficient
I remember turning OFF the notification of sent messages previously, i think the info is in the forum somewhere, but it turns it all off. Both sound and popup.
I think it was a registry hack too. Was a long time ago, im fighting wm2005 now so havent got time to check back how i did it sorry.
yes i know how to deactivate completely but i just want to deactivate the annoying sound
it`s impossible, isn`t it?
Yes, it is impossible. The SMS you receive from the network looks the same as an sms from one of your contacts to your phone. The device cannot distinguish one SMS from another, so you can only choose to switch of the sound for all sms-es. You can also choose to disable delivery notification entirely, but then you will only get a pop-up that the sms is send, not when it is received by the other party, since the network will not send you an sms to notify you of delivery.
However, even when I am writing this, I consider two issues:
1. There is some program floating around that enables blocking certain senders of sms. That means however that the sms will not reach your phone, so this is bascially the same result as with switching sms delivery notification off.
2. BUT! Darek, the creator of DKToday ( search for him on this forum with the term DKToday, or his name dkot) uses the SMS delivery for counting the number of sms send this month. Basically, he could not find a way to extract sent sms info from the system, so instead, he chose to count the returning delivery notification sms from the network as a measure of the no. of sms sent by you. So, in some way, he must be able to distinguish delivery notification sms from normal sms, as sent by your contacts. I recommend you to contact him and ask him how that is done, maybe he can tell you what the distinguishing feature is between normal incoming sms and network sms.
Edit: After re-reading your first post in this thread, I may have given you an answer to a problem you did not have. Do you want to cancel out the sound for the incoming network delivery notification sms, or the sound from the pop-up after sending the sms ( the system sound)? For the delivery sms, see my answer. For the system sound: I have no clue...
I have written to him. Maybe he can help
Hi all,
I am looking for a program that will enable me to create a different SMS notification sound depending on who the sender is.
The reason for this is that I have friends who also have TyTNs, but due to the fact that they receive several automated sms notifications from a server monitoring application each day, they almost never read my SMS in time.
So I decided that I want their phones to make a different sound whenever they receive a private SMS. Maybe you can assign some contacts to a group and then specify a SMS notification sound to that group?
Thanks a lot!
I'm looking for the same soft.
I have been using youmail.com for a while before I got the google phone but now with the G1 I dont get the voicemail indicator from my service provider. Does anyone have any insight into how to set up the G1 properly or another service that has similar functions?
And I tried PhoneFusion and didnt like it because of the double notifications.
Youmail works on the G1 just like it does on other tmo phones. You get a text message notification when you get a voicemail. The provider's voicemail indicator doesn't show up because the call was never sent to the the provider's voicemail system.
Just make sure you set up your voicemail number as well as call forwarding numbers for youmail, configure youmail on its website, and you're good to go. Also, you might want to add "YouMail" to your contacts, both by its dial-in number and by the four digits or so the text notification comes from, so that your notifications are like you want them.
And yes, PhoneFusion was way too annoying for me as well. I would much rather have individualized voicemail greetings for my contacts, as well as "ditchmail" greetings for the telemarketers. Been using it since it was introduced.
It was all setup and working on my Hermes and it would show the voicemail indicator but on the Dream I only get the text and no indicator. Little annoyances like that always make me go for the default option.
Interesting that it worked on the Hermes. Maybe it's a difference in ATT? I've been using Callwave for a couple years and switched to Youmail when I got the G1, always on T-Mobile and never got the voice mail indicator...which makes sense considering your "network" VM box never gets anything in it. In fact at one point my call forwarding got reset and I was tipped off by the sudden reappearance of the VM indicator!
I used YouMail on my Excalibur (Dash) with WM6.1 and, like the previous poster, only got the standard VM notification when something messed up with the forwarding numbers.
It would be cool if an Android webapp were made that checked YouMail on their site. Then PhoneFusion would definitely be out of the running.
Ya, I am not sure how it worked before but I think it was youmail that would send your phone the voicemail notification. It was basically a straight replacement for the provider service but I was able to have different voicemail messages for each caller.
Youmail works very well on the G1. If I miss a call, I get a notice. If they leave a VM I get a SMS (if they don't leave a message I *could* get a SMS but I choose not too).
Custom answers, ditching telemarketers and getting my VM via email is TOTALLY worth it.
I am to the point where I couldn't stand it if I didn't have Youmail (or some other competant equivalent).

I'm on the total-internet plan instead of the official G1 plan so I don't have text messages bundled. That means it costs me money each time youmail notifies me of a voicemail. I can have it notify me via email, but then the voicemail is lost within the tons of emails I normally get.
Solution: t-mobile email triggers.
Email triggers is a service that t-mobile provided a long long time ago to certain phones like the SDA and MDA. Basically, you login to t-mobile.com and configure the service to periodically check an external mailbox, like gmail, for new emails and then will send an SMS to you. The trick is that you're not suppose to view this SMS as a t-mobile application on your phone is suppose to look for this SMS and when one comes in, it will be triggered to pull down new emails from the mailbox that the SMS indicates. The key is that you're not charged for this trigger SMS.
So in short:
1. Configure youmail to send the voicemail alert to a gmail mailbox
2. Configure t-mobile email triggers to check that gmail mailbox and either alert you for all emails (if the mailbox is dedicated to youmail) or only alert you when certain text is detected (like "YouMail"). You need to tell t-mobile.com that your device is a SDA before you do this.
Now, I will get a free text message alert from youmail. I don't use sms so the text alert will really standout apart from my email alerts.
On another related topic, you can configure the "1" key on the phone to dial youmail, but that reverts back to the t-mobile number on its own. Now I just use a shortcut to youmail's number.

I am on the total internet plan also but I do get text messages for free... weird. I better check my account!! The rest of your comments are spot on and a great alternative method for notification.
I didn't check the speeddial voicemail (#1) for awhile since I usually dial from the SMS...It did reset it to TMo... interesting. I'll have to watch that more closely.
