VOIP SMS .:. TvMSmS v0.1

Is a very very simple application that allows users to send sms by certain voip accounts...
Its my first app running in a PDA and i hope you enjoy.
TvMSmS_v0.2.rar

simple but lots of potential!
I must say, i like it a lot! there is also someone else developing something like this, his name is skandler. his app has some nice extra features, but i like the fast startup of your app, and the use of standard contact list.
do you see any way to integrate (hook) into the normal sms send subroutine?
also, it would be nice to call the app from commandline, so you could make a shortcut to send to specific people.

sender info doesn't work.
hi,
i found a small bug, when you use voipbusterpro.com, and you enter your correct number in your "from" field, the sms you sent has your login name instead of your (verified) number. i don't know about other accounts, i only use voipbusterpro.
other than that... it's fast! and simply works!

Hi thanks for reporting it.
Bug fixed and url updated...
Even the small apps have the rights to have their bugs
I already thought to put the app running from contact list in a append menu, but im starting with c# /sdk 6 and my knowledge of this is very small.I will keep looking and see if im capable to do that.

country code bug
Hi there,
i found another bug. when a contact already has the phonenumber in international style, your app still writes the countrycode first and then the number;
so you get +31+316.... in the case of a dutch number

You have right again
I will put a function to check if the number already start with + char or something.
thanks for your reports
As we see a very small app could have a lot of bugs (blame the coder )

Phone number with international code will ignore country code in conf...

always "Network error"
other IP SMS tools work & also any program that needs GPRS or 3G. Only TVMSMS fails.
Any ideas?

When "network fail" error appear is something about you configuration( he cant make the request to your voip account).Could you tell me what is your voip provider that you are using in software?

Thank you for this great app

Is the app available elsewhere as the rapidshare link is broken.

Alternative dialer (Froyo XXJPK) ?

Hello,
I was wondering if there is any alternative dialer than the standard one -- I'm on Froyo XXJPK.
The problem I have is that searching through contacts results in a match only at the beginning of the Firstname -- not on lastname, nor in the middle of a name. Needless to say, that is quite annoying.
Another feature I am missing is automatic screen locking after a user-specified value while during a call.
TIA for suggestions.

Try Dialer one.

The issue is with the android not with samsung.
This is an open issue under development.

Are you sure ?.... This feature works perfectly fine on an HTC Desire running Froyo: It lists all the matches as I type, and when selecting a contact I can choose which number to call (not only the first).
Even my old Omnia running WM6.5 can do that.

Try DialerOne for one that uses T9 search for both names and numbers...
As for screenlock while on call... no idea about that, while on headset answering a call, the screen locks after 30secs, which is my default setting...
While answering without headsets or on bluetooth, I presume that the screen should be off while you are answering, and thus locking shouldn't be necc...
Shall try it out later...

Google gesture search is sort of another alternative.

What kind of contacts ? Mine are Exchange -- and I cannot edit them in the stock "Contacts" app either (except the name). I need to use TouchDown for that....

Yes, I've now installed Dialer One -- MUCH better !
Many thanks !

I have contacts from Exchange. Search find contacts using firstname, lastname and company info. I can edit exchange contacts too(add/edit numbers, addresses, mail addresses etc). Haven't installed Touchdown.

If I understand the question correctly, they are talking about typing the name in on the dialler number keypad using T9, so 3733 will match Fred Smith but not Bob Fredman. If you go to contacts and do the search there it is fine.

[Q] Default Phone Number

I've searched the Fascinate forums for a question on this and came up with nothing, so sorry if this has already been asked earlier.
I just got my Fascinate a few days ago and I was wondering if there was a way you could set a default phone number for each contact? For example, when you click on a contact to call and you have their Home and Mobile phone numbers, it asks you which one you want to call. I think it's somewhat annoying to have to do this each time if you know the majority of the time you want to call their cell phone.
Thanks for any answers!

If you go into your contacts app, select the contact you want to set a default for. Then hit your menu key. At the bottom there will be an option that says "Mark as Default", click that option and then select the phone number/email address you want to use as the default. Now click save. That should do it.

Thank you! By the way, is there a way to call a contact directly from the list of contacts? I know you can swipe your finger to the right over the contact to show the two icons for "Call" and "Message", but is there a way to just directly call the contact with one touch/swipe?

I find the Samsung dialer to be rather lacking. I would highly recommend that you give Dialer One a try. Free app, no ads, and much more customizable.

Actually, after setting the default number, when I press "Call," it still asks me which number to call....

Dialer

Hi There!
I was wondering if there were any mods to make the dialer/keypad better?
I hate the one that is stock in eclair because there is a delete where there should be a 0. Also it drives me nuts that when you start typing a number and the contact comes up automatically, you can't click once for it to dial, you need to select it then hit dial!
Much appreciated.
I feel stupid, was searching market for dialler not dialer. Can someone recommend one, there are millions!

I would like to know this too...
Coming from an iPhone its a pain to have to select contact then press call on android. (My only android gripe tho!)
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

You can swipe left on the contact name to dial the contact, or swipe from right to left to send a sms message.

windows mobile had a better dialer! it used call history along with contact list to find matching contacts....really miss that. Another infuriating thing about android is that it chooses home number as default instead of mobile number. besides, i cant tap on the matched contact to bring up options to dial the required number....plain sucks!
every firmware flash, you need to sit and set default numbers all over again...frustrating! but apart from this, android just rocks \m/

I like dialer one from the market.

AContact, customizable dialer and contact manager, would like to know your thoughts

Tired of your old contact list? Want a new T9 dialer? Try out AContact, a fully customizable contact app with a brand new dialer. AContact is the only Contact manager that has a smooth scrollable user interface, so you never have to reach to the top of the screen to switch between tabs.
Features:
* T9 search/dialer pad.
* Customizable screens, mix & match functions you like.
* Adjustable text size, small or big as you wish.
* The only dialer app with full group support for Google account.
* Customizable contact list.
* Three keyboard style in contact list: collapsible bottom keyboard, right side vertical IPhone like keyboard, no keyboard.
* Filterable call history, favorite contact list.
* Delete/Clean call log by contact name or number.
Attached with this thread is a beta version of the next release. We would like to know how everyone think about this.
If you want to install the one from Google's Android Market(previous version), just search "movesti" in android market, then look for AContact.

Very very nice application you have got here. A huge improvement on the stock android interface, and much better than any other contact app I have used, including HTC dialer I would happily buy this on the market when it becomes a fully complete application. The only suggestion/amendment I would make, its to have the android status bar enabled as standard (not full screen mode) I think it may confuse less tech savvy users.

Yeah, We thought about this as well. The problem is, on some small screens, there won't be much space left if not in full screen mode. Probably we should set a default value based on the screen resolution of user's phone.

Wow, probably the best I've used.
I think I saw this app a few months ago when it had a blue ui that I wasn't really a fan of and no icon. Whatever the case, this looks and works amazing (and I'm a big fan of applications that you can swipe through like this). And the dialer feels really nice as well.
Great job.

Yeah, we posted a while back in the themes forum, asking for some idea of themes. Now this is implemented in the app.

Its a great dialer! However i would like to suggest adding company name in the T9 search fields, and adding it in the contact details which are displayed in dialer screen.
This would be great!

We have plans to add more support for displaying extra information. You would be able to select what information to display together with contact names, company name, email address etc...

Looks good. I'd like to suggest having seperate icons for the dialer tab and the contacts tab. Would make it more useful when putting it on the launcher dock.
Other than that, great work!

Unusable on froyo dell streak. App will not go to portrait mode. Stuck in landscape.
Would also like clearer dialpad with better contrast

Sorry landscape is not supported right now. A lot work need to be done in order to support that.

A (maybe known) bug: When calling to a contact from the dialer screen with a single tap - its calling the first phone number. Its not reading the default (primary) number from contacts database.

When there is no input in the dialer, it shows the recent call log, and if you press the dial button then, it'll call that number in the log, as the dialer assumes you are calling an entry from the call log.
If you input some texts into the dialer, a matched contact list will show up, if you press to call any contact then, it'll call that contact's primary number.

I agree - that's a possible behavior. The other way is when I input some text, and there is a match - first check if there's a recent call, and if that's true - offer that number; if false offer contacts primary number.
Anyway this is not the case for me.
Scenario:
Contact with a home and mobile number;
Search for that contact
Dialer offers to dial home number, but the mobile number is set as a primary number.
The primary number is set through Sense.

I see what you mean.
Right now, when you input some digits, what happens is
1. contact display name is searched,
2. contact number is searched.
Your call history is not searched (We should change to include that as well)
For your problem, the primary number dialing, we'll go and find a htc sense see if that happens. Probably there is some difference between sense and google's default implementation.
Anyway, will let you know when we figure that out.

Very nice work indeed!
I hope you can make a version what can totally replace the AOSP stock version - this one is way more superior!
A few additions:
- Add Facebook and Twitter accounts' contacts' images syncing - for now, any other contact than the GMail ones have no image (stock image)
- Add option for special sorting of names, and special name display. Like, here in Hungary, we say "Smith Jonathan" (translated name) instead of "Jonathan Smith" or "Smith, Jonathan". The best would be if it could be controlled by language files. Also, I am going to make the Hungarian language, want it?
- The favorite screen's selection has the good old Android background light-up. Can you remove that?
For now, that's all the problem I've found, but still experimenting around it

Thanks for the suggestions. They are all good ones
* For Facebook and twitter contacts, we still have to invest some more time, but it will be there.
* We already have support for sorting by first & last name, no name display though, we plan to add that very soon.
* We plan to add more language support after we implement themes, it would be great if we can use some help. Could you send a email to us [email protected] so we know how to reach you then.
* what is the " good old Android background light-up"?

Another HTC Sense (maybe) related bug:
I keep my contacts synced with my google account and facebook for htc sense. But in phonebook (people) options I've set the view option - only show google contacts. So the result is I can not see facebook contacts in htc or acontact dialer. Nothings wrong here.
But...:
Let's say I have John A. - a facebook contact
I have also John B. - a google contact.
So I am searching for John from dialer screen.
There's a result - John B.
When I select John B. its calling John A.
It may create some awkward situations

That looks like a big problem - calling the wrong number.
Could you send us an email [email protected] so we can keep track of this problem.
We don't have facebook access here so can't test it.
For the primary number problem, I have tested it on htc desire, 2.1 android, it's showing two entries for two different numbers. Not sure how to make it one entry. Will try to find other phones to test.
