Hello !
I wrote an application because I needed to write SMS and emails in landscape mode on Firefox OS; my ZTE Open C is a bit 'rude' to write more than 3 words, especially when one have large fingers .
I do not know if I'm the only one wanting this function as I have not found a solution or an app on the market store, but personally I'd stayed on a 'keyboard' phone until recently because I did not want my typing getting too slow.
In any case if it can help someone the address can be found on the firefox marketplace under the name "horizon" (I would have wrote the URL but somehow I'm forbid to do it directly; sorry)
FYI: the app creates drafts ready to be sent because it is not possible for security issues to write an application that directly sends SMS or emails.
It's a first app so any feedback is welcome !
Thanks,
Schulgy

Hi Folks,
This is my first post, although I've owned my XDAIIs for several weeks and I've ROM'd it to the iMATE 1.4 ROM. So I've had a good play.
I was looking at smsOrganizer (from Jeyo) which is badly supported (and it ain't free) and I wondered why I (we) couldn't write something to do the same thing, for free.
Is there a forum for this kind of activity, or could someone point me in the direction of some exmples of how to pass data between the PC and phone?
Best regards
AndrwB
Andrew, look into RAPI: eg here

Development and Hacking is the right place for this kind of query...what do you want the app to do?

Hi V,
Basically I want to control the SMS message transfer on my XDA from Outlook, just like smsOrganizer.
Re. your link, I think we've got those? but I generally write embedded C, non of this fancy C++ stuff :-((

Hi V,
I just tried this :
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;307256
And I can now copy files to and from my device
Not bad for 1 hours playing, specially as I've fixed 2 work related bugs too )
Andrew B
Good stuff.
I'm just learning C++ actually, I never learnt C, coming from self-taught VB on the PC.
RAPI is the way to do most PC<>PDA communications, although right now I'm only just getting into sms stuff. It'd be easy enough (I think) to write an interface to create an SMS on the PC in text, transmit that to the PDA and then SMS it off, but the backend of it would require some implementation.
Keep us posted though!

99% of c programs should compile and work just fine on
c++ compilers and you can write c++ programs without using
oop in which case they are pretty much c programs
From what I've read it looks as if you need to write an app to sit on the device and another app on the main PC. The app on the phone just acts as an agent passing data between the sms services and the PC.
Anybody got any ideas?
AndrewB
Yipeeeee
I can now write a DLL that sits on the device and I can write a C++ application on my PC to communicate with it
Now to start reading some text messages from the device to the PC......
Does anybody know agood way to send and recieve SMS ?? I would also like to edit the text and pass it to an Edit Box.
I am not too sure about the available API's that will let me do this.
Please HELP :shock:
Hey , i would like to send and recieve SMS on my xda2. Also pass the recieved message into an Edit Control. Does anybody know a good way to do this ??
I know about the SMS API but i am unaware of others. Pleas Help !! thnkx
SMS Auto sending
Hi everybody,
Is there a way to auto send all sms in draft? Basically, every sms in draft folder needs to be send one by one by ticking send button.
OK,
I can now send a text message from my PC to a DLL on my phone using RAPI, then send a SMS using MAPI.
The trouble is I can't get the subject and body fields to display correctly on my XDAIIs. Also I can't get the Name to appear instead of the number.
I'll try to post the code later on the understanding that it is FREE and we pool our experiences/knowledge.
Here is the code for the DLL and the PC program. Just press one of the keys on the tol bar to send the message. The number and message are hard coded.
There are ABSOLUTELY NO guarentees with this code, use it at you own risk.
can it recieve SMS as well ?? Has any body thought about other API's to use for sending and recieving SMS's maybe ?
Well.... Not yet.
This is my first ever .net VC++ program !!!!
There are lots of code snipets around but no full source code.
This is a work in progress project hence it is in the "Development and Hacking" fourm.
If you'd like to add some functionality to it......
I am asking because there seems to be a problem when trying to recieve SMS with SMS api as the HANDLE is already attributed to the messaging application (inbox/draft/outbox).
I believe you are using RAPI ? However i do not understand this API that well could u specify a bit more ?
Thanks for your help.
Hi nutitija,
I'm only using the RAPI function to pass parameters from my PC to the XDA. The actual sending of messages is done using the MAPI in the XDA.
My biggest problem is getting the subject/body and from fields to display correctly in the different XDA mail views.
Hi guys, ive started Iphoneing my hermes and have a few questions.

The title says it all. I'm looking for an aplication that could connect to my Blogger account and there to post pictures from my phone and text. Older SE phones (Symbian and normal) had this small application. I know I can do this from the browser, even if it doesn't load the posting page properly, but I prefer a small app.
I found Mobile GBlogger and PocketBlogger 1.3, but they both show an error "WebException" when trying to connect.
Anyone found a working program?
Thanks!
No application for this?

Try Shozu
http://www.shozu.com/portal/selfprovisioning.do?operation=startWizard#manu_27
try also moblog 2.2
or maybe tblogger is for you.
I'am using moblog and it works nice. With TBlogger I can't connect at the moment - can't find out why.
It is possible to post in Blogger with emails. Activate that functionality and send whatever you wanna post, via email.
Thank you for your answers.
moBlog can retrieve a list of my posts, but when I try to publish a new one it will always give me the error "There was an error". Also, there is no way to go back when you are in the editing screen.
tBlogger is for Wordpress, i think?
I know about e-mail and MMS posting, but I wanted more control over formatting. It is a good option, though.
ShoZu is close to what I expect, but it doesn't allow me to format the text and images in any way (center and dimensions), most important - the images are stored on their servers (not Google Picasa / Blogger) and each post will contain a rather big ShoZu banner.
The built-in Blogger feature from K850i or K800i, or the application for UIQ phones were simple and easier to use... I guess there is no other choice for Windows Mobile than to go to the site or send by e-mail.
TBlogger has also a MetaWeblogg engine support.
I also have an error when publishing but what I've noticed - my blog was updated even I saw this error.
I'm looking for something else too - those 2 are not my favourites...
I'm upping this thread, maybe someone found an usable Blogger application...
Hi guys,
just an idea, I don't know if any of you devs even like the idea or if it's possible, but here it is:
One app for all messaging, i.e. SMS/MMS/e-mail. Outlook Mobile already provides this, but it is possible to view only SMS/MMS or e-mail but not all of them together in one (per contact) thread and the app looks plain ugly . What I am talking about is a one-click access to ALL received messages, with contact based threaded view, finger friendly with possibilty to write messages from inside this app. So far I was not able to find something like this, they are always only for SMS or maybe sometimes e-mail, but there is no unified solution as far as I know
An ideal solution would be something like Resco contact manager but with possibility to have all types of messages per contact in one thread and the possibility to compose messages from that app.
Anyways that's it
Post your opinions/wishes/ or solutions maybe
Hey guys and girls,
Ive got a Samsung Omnia (please no booing ) and I need an application to hide text and or mms messages. I work overseas from time to time with my business and my wife and I swap MMS and text messages to each other while I am away. Having a new phone means everyone wants to check it out and i certainly do not want anyone stumbling across any MMS or text messages my wife has sent me ;-)
I have already well and truly searched this forum and the only software I can find is by evolvens and it doesn work.
Im sure it couldnt be to hard for someone to code a little piece of software to hide sms or mms depending on who sent it?
Sorry if ive posted in the wrong section, id be willing to pay for the right app and im sure many others would as well.
Cheers
Dave
hey, i ran into a problem in my last relationship where i ended up dating 2 chicks... so i had their sms' saved using ez secret sms 2.0. basically, you can set it up to run in the background, and you set certain contacts to be received in this program instead of outlook. the program can be named anything you want. so i named it something boring like system priority. you click it, and it brings up a calculator. you put in the code you specified, and hit ok... and it opens your "secret inbox." you can also set it to notify you in some way that you received a text from whoever. i set it as "islanders won!" for one chick, and "rangers lost!" for the other... pretty simple program to use, and it works fairly well.
if you want to hide just the pics, you could always just save the pics and encrypt the folder using resco explorer with a password or something. but if you really want to save the actual sms, this program worked fairly well for me.
I agree - SMS Security is great - I use it on my Diamond with no problems
I don't think it willl work with MMS though. As the post above - save the image from your MMS into your main files in a private folder. Call that folder something odd and I'm sure you friends won't open it. If you really want to protect the images, you can lock just that file with Resco or I use VisCrypt
Thanks hays and ou2mame for your input, I will try ez secret sms,
hays is this the same program you use on your diamond?
Thanks again guys

Yes it is. It works 100%
It is easy to switch it on and off reverting back to normal diamond SMS
I've emailed the author to suggest a few minor tweaks and will report back
