Is there a app, or someone intrested in making an app, where i can have a small box on my desktop, that is connected to my SMS on my phone?
All id like to do, is check my messages, and reply to messages using my desktop, when i have my phone connected.
Easiear, and faster texting, and i dont have to sit, like a idiot, with my phone in my thumbs.
Plus, it keeps my boss happy, as im not texting all day

Hi everyone.
OK. So, I've got an XDA Mini S and I've just got to the end of my O2 contract, so they've sent me a free phone (which is nice). It's a Walkman phone, which I'd like to use.
Therefore, I'll have to remove the SIM from my Mini S and put it in the new phone (I'm continuing with the same contract, so there's no new SIM). This actually suits me, because although I think the Mini S is a great PDA, I don't think much of it as a phone. Plus, my use of it is pretty heavy, so if I ALSO use it as a music player, the battery's dead in no time at all.
So what I'd like to do is be able to use the Mini S to still do text messages and email, but send and recieve them by connecting to GPRS via Bluetooth through the new mobile (with the SIM in it). Expect I can't figure out how to set up the Mini S to do this. Can anyone help?
Sorry if this is all a bit garbled
Thanks in advance.
I'd think doing the email would be easy... but as most sony phones are a little trashy (in my opinion) I doubt they will do the text message passthrough thingy some of the good phones have, mainly nokias.
To get the email working, you'll need to setup the GPRS connection on your sony one, then turn it's bluetooth on (make sure it's discoverable). Then search for the services supported on it, using the wizard. You're looking for "dial-up networking". Select this, and then try and dial the connection from the bluetooth config panel thingy. If I remember correctly (not done this since back in the WM2003 days), you need to dial *10# or summit from the wizard, then it will connect to the sony phone via bluetooth, and start the GPRS connection. Once it has dialed, just use the wizard as you would have done before.
I'm sorry if ti's a little vague, as I mentioned i've not had to do this for a couple of years. I'm someone will say if i've missed something out...
Hope it helps you
Well, an idea. Why don't you get the SIM into the miniS and use the Sony as walkman without the SIM? Else, sell the Sony and get yourself multiple (and larger capacity) battery for your miniS?

Well, I initially thought I'd have no use for the new phone, but I like the idea of the music player being the same system as that for answering calls - if I'm listening to music on the new phone, I'm not going to miss a call (and this is something I'm likely to do as it's my work mobile). I have a bigger battery for the Mini S, but it makes the phone into a bit of a lump and still only gets me a day and a half of normal use (which doesn't include listening to music). And swapping the battery means restarting the Pocket PC, which is a bind.
Thanks for your reply, Brins0 - I'll give it a try. I think you might be onto something with the code for the phone to dial into GPRS. I think it might also want a "standard" O2 username/passowrd, though I'm not sure what these are. If anyone else has any thoughts, I'd love to hear them.

Yeah, I know it is good to have a music player with a phone function. However, for my case, its the vibration that alerted me on in coming calls most of the time. It is SMS vibration that I've missed.
Anyway, I'm impressed that you can get a miniS dead in a day and a half without music. You do talk a lot on the phone, huh? I talk on average 30 mins on the phone and it lasted me 3-4 days on a full charge, on a normal battery. Well, anyway, consider the size of the screen and power of the phone, you can't compete with a Sony phone, say W610, which has a rated talk time of 7 hours (gsmarena) and Wizard's 4 hours. Sony *is* pretty good in what they do.
ANYWAY, good news for you is that, I did manage to tried to sync my SE T630 (old one) with my PC before using IR connection using software found on (myt630.net) and I can send SMS (via the phone) using my PC. However, getting the SMS is another story, I think I'll have to do a check-mail thing (eg, pull) on the phone to get new SMSs, it doesn't seems to do a push (that's 3-4 years ago, my memory is failing me). So, I'm pretty sure that Sony's phone is able to get you to send SMSs without problems AND I've seen software for Palm that enables you to send SMS using phone connected via IR and BTooth and I'm sure you get that for PocketPC. So, for SMS you'll probably need to use other software that is meant for real pocket pc (eg without phone function) to send your SMS.
Anyway, let us know of your progress. Like, how good is the Sony phone in terms of battery life with and without the music
UPDATE: This is an example

though I was looking for something that cost $0.
Your right about my heavy use of the Mini S. I don't actually make that many calls, but I do use the PDA functions a hell of a lot. I also rely heavily on email for work, so being able to leave the Mini S connect to ActiveSync via Bluetooth has given me a lot of freedom to move around the house - at the expense of flattening the battery pretty quickly. One thing I've noticed already is that the battery does a lot better when it's not connected to a phone network. I wouldn't have expected that to take much power, but there you go.
Anyway, I've figured out how to use the email function through the phone. I set up a new dail-up connection which connects to O2's mobileweb GPRS. The reason I struggled to begin with is that I was entering the APN (on the Mini S) as "mobile.o2.co.uk", which I think would work IF I was connecting directly from the Mini S. BUT, what I needed to do was enter the APN as *99# (found that on the web somewhere) which prompts the PHONE to connect to O2's mobileweb, and therefore allow the Mini S a GPRS data line. Hope that makes sense! Phew!
As for SMS, you're right: I need a third party program to allow that. I was hoping the Text Messages part of the Mini S's Messaging application could be reconfigured, but it doeesn't look likely. Can anyone recommend a good, third party SMS program for Windows Mobile 5?
Thanks everyone!
Ive had my Wing for 3 months now, i just this week became interested in further developing my phone into something more of a useable device worth the 100 dollars i pay monthly to keep it running.
one of my only gripes about the standard software has been the lack of alternates. im looking for a program or hack that functions closer to the ichat of the mac for AIM. has any one seen this? If so, please let me know
thanks a mil.
this is where the Wing lacks big time. I came from the Sidekick which had excellent instant messaging and stayed connected well and was instant as the name implies. The IM software that comes with the Wing uses SMS so it is slow and unless you have unlimited text messaging you are in for a rude awakening. I have tried a few of the program out there including IM+, Palringo, agile, and imov and none of them come close to the functionality or the reliability of the sidekick. IM+ is nice but it constantly disconnects and drives friends nuts because you sign on and off all the time. Palringo is better for this but you can not switch users without losing everything you just typed to someone. even if you go to the contacts list you lose your conversation with whomever you are talking to. Agile would not stayed connected for more than a minute or two and constantly lost connection. imov just flat out didn't work well and would freeze so I didn't get to try it out much. And on top of all this. if you are using a cooked rom like touch it. you will not be able to use these because something required by the programs has been removed and no one here knows how to correct it or at least from what I've encountered. I will be waiting impatiently for my contract to end in a couple months and will be switching to a phone better suited for messaging. as far as PPC phones go the Wing is a good little phone even though slow and lacking memory big time it is not a good phone for those wanting to stay connected. I never thought I would miss my sidekick 3 but by oh boy was I wrong.
Here is all IM....
did me just a sec to search.

Hi all,
I've come up with an idea today, after I got a new job, I have to visiting different clients in different locations, however, sometimes, I've got no network signal at all, maybe sitting inside a restaurant, in this case, my family and my clients can't reach me.
My idea is, besides, checking the phone from time to time, is it possible to have a sound alert, which like SMS, email alerts?
Check under phone settings for the service tone.
I'm sorry I don't understand. I don't see such option in my Atom Life.
Sorry that I'm new to WM devices.

I totally agree with you..I find quite some time..I knew there exists in PhoneAlarm..but that is too big a application...
try rk-Location, search the forum for it..i believe it does the job
Hello.
When i want to send sms, phone gives me small windows with this text: "your text message cannot be sent". Maybe I changed something accidentally. I can surf internet and get sms, but i cant sent them. Message service number is right.
provide us more details...
before try to reboot
I installed touchFLO 3d, landscape (mod?) and some other programs (batti, g-alarm). Today i noticed that i can't sent sms. I reboted my phone few times, i tried to change settings in conections, but nothing worked. Maybe i don't know something, because i have phone only week. I used xperiatweak2.
Threatened SMS used to crash my Messaging application in if used together with TF3D...maybe you should try to switch it of...
Still doesnt work... Any more ideas?
Thanks..
maybe you can try unplug and plugin again you sim card
But why i can send sms and surf internet? Ok, I'll try
Edit: still nothing.
hard reseet........
I'm affraid that's the only way to fix it. Thanks anyway.
Have you tried your SIM in a different phone and have you called your (un-named) network to see if they have any issues?
Sim worked well on other phone. I made hard reset, so everything now woks fine.
I am trying to find an app that gives me a notification on my A500 when I get a phone call or text on my android phone. Does anyone know of such an app?
I am not looking to send texts from my tab just get the notifications.
Just listen to your phone, I am sure it notifies you
Probably about the best you could hope for, is some sort of enhanced dialing app for your phone, that sends an e-mail when calls come in. Then your tab, if you have a wifi connection, would have a mail notification.
If your tab was an a501, you could receive an sms (specific carriers)
But as far as an app for your tab, I don;t think such an app exists. The 500 doesn't have a radio. And the 501, has a nuetered radio for sms and data.

Yeah, it appears to maybe take care of the sms issue, provided you're under the same wifi network. Not quite sure what would happen if you, leave your phone at home, and you're out on the road, as it seems it doesn't work. Looks like it only works when on the same wifi network. With bluetooth, you have to be less than 6ft or so.

Doesn't do anything with calls though.
