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.
Hey everyone. For a long time now I have been waiting for someone to design a visual voicemail program for Windows Mobile. Unfortunately, it seems no one has been interested, which I find rather odd. There are a number of services available now that allow for customized voicemail storage, YouMail and Grand Central being the most popular. They also have the option to send a copy of the voicemail to your email with call details and the audio file as an attachment. I have been using YouMail to do this for the last year or so. Unfortunately, they don't offer a front-end for this. They have a mobile website page, but frankly I'm not impressed. What I have been hoping for is a program that will read the emails and parse out the appropriate information, and play the attachment. I have attached a picture of what I was envisioning. Anyone think they're up to the task of realizing this project?
Great idea, I myself would love to have this, it's one of the few things I miss from my old Treo. But, I don't know if it's possible to get info like the message time, caller name, and number. It would be a simple set of buttons that could be configured properly to choose an option.

Message time, caller name and number are all in the body of the email that is sent. It'd just be a simple matter of parsing the data correctly
i think the major issue no one has done it yet is because everyone uses some different service.
its not like ok all the iphone ATT people use X visual voicemail service and the vZW people have Y service. Youre talking about an interface for every possible service like grandcentral or those forwarding services- theres at least a dozen and they all use different audio formats and such.
The real issue is consolidation to please everyone, and devs dont want to put time into make niche programs for every possible service.

That's true, but the thing about that is that a) there are only a few voicemail services out there, and only a couple that a lot of people use (YouMail, GrandCentral, SpinVox, and b) in order for a program to support all of them, the only thing you would have to change would be to tell the program which email format you are looking at. In other words, you'd only have to specify the parsing format, which would be a relatively simple and short section of the code that could be specified in settings. Also, they don't all use different audio formats, they use standard ones which would all be played by the same standard API call, so that's not an issue either. Anyway, hopefully this thread piques somebody's interest.

The email that you get from YouMail or GrandCentral or whatever voicemail service you're using (the email that has the audio as an attachment).
Anyone interested in this?
YES

Check out mVisualVoiceMail (google it) it works great and does exactly what you want. I use youmail and it works awesome.

Did they just release a new update or something? I tried mVisualVoicemail and it didn't parse the YouMail emails correctly and also didn't play the .mp3 attachments.
Does youmail work in the UK? Iv never thought of a service like this, and it actually appears useful.

Unless they have a UK # to forward to I wouldn't think so...the forwarding # is USA based and since it uses conditional call forwarding rates you'd be paying international minutes.
i've been using callwave for my visual voicemail with att this before they started making you pay i just gotta email sayin that there goin to end the beta program so i'm thinkin about switch back to youmail one think i don't like is that youmail doesnt automatically update after you recieve a new message
but the developers are working on it

Yes, they're working on a lot of things. Unfortunately, something like this isn't one of them. Hopefully a nice friendly neighborhood programmer has a little time on his hands . Please???

I had the same problem about 8 months ago, so i was using callwave, but since its no longer free i switched back to youmail. mvisualvoicemail parses the names perfectly, doesn't do .mp3 though, only .wav

I'm not sure how you're saying that. It does the name sometimes, but not when the call was, or the duration of the call, or anything else like that, and as you mentioned, it doesn't play .mp3s so all together it's hardly a sufficient solution. Is there anyone here interested in developing a working solution?

Hi, so my friend has a Verizon S4 flashed with the HyperDrive ROM. He was showing me the other day how whenever someone called him, the caller ID name showed up as if the number was stored in his contacts. It's not like it was linked to FaceBook or anything, because it worked for completely random numbers. In the recent call logs it showed up with the name under the number. It had a very minimal and "native" look to it. The funny thing is, he was unsure where it came from. I checked the info for the ROM and I didn't see anything about that and there was no app installed that would explain it. It appeared to just be part of the phone. More interestingly, it was able to come up with names that would not show up on a normal WhitePages search. They would show up with my "premium, advanced lookup." So it would appear he has access to a pretty good phone number lookup database. I mean that makes sense, I assume WhitePages just hides some numbers/names from the normal search so you have to pay. Anyway, I was wondering what this was and if it's possible to get with my ATT S4? Thank you and have a great day!
I am trying to make my first app. I want it to have no icon in the apps tray and be hidden, with a name like Android system.
I want it to block sms from a specific number, and possibly forward it to another number, without the origional recipitent seeing it period. I want it to block incoming calls from the same specific number and not notify the origal recipitent of call blocked. I want it to block outgoing sms to that same specific number without notifying the sender. And/or send that message intended for the origional number to a secoundary number. And same with calls, i would like calls to that specific number to be blocked and not notify the caller that their call is not going to the specific number.
Do you get what im going for here? I want an app made specifically to install on one specific persons android, to block all contact between that phone, and one specific other persons number, without notifying either party their communication of choice is not reaching the other person. With the possibility of the transactions actually going to a 3rd number soley to be used as a "monitor" if you will.
Can anyone help me code this, itll be my first app, ive never done such. Or if its easy for a senior coder, could you throw the app together for me?
Any and all help is GREATLY appreciated. Honestly. I would like to learn to do this myself in the future, so just help with setting up proper code is good enough!

Hi first off all, if you want hide the application in the apps tray, your phone need to be rooted

This whole thing smells very "it puts the lotion in the basket"
relationship counseling maybe?
Cause what I read is. I don't want my significant other talking to person X so i wanna control it.
Creepy..... Very creepy
This requires a rooted device and it's pretty much illegal as far as im aware. For educational purpose:
A service(Services are not shown to the user directly) will be your sms listener and an activity will perform the sms actions.
You can possibly copy, resend and delete incoming messages in the activity. You pretty much wanna stay away from other people inboxes :}
Hello everyone,
I've used Samsung's Smart Switch several times, to transfer my data from one phone to another. But Smart Switch always fails to transfer my call blocklist, so I have to type the list by hand all over again.
Is there a better way to do this? Via an android app, or even via adb commands? Without root of course.
Thank you.

i edited my quote to show just the part that makes me believe that you dont have these phone numbers saved as contacts on your phone. If that is the case, then android doesnt know to transfer the fact that you blocked those numbers not associated with an entry into your contact list over to a different device. Im betting that if you add a single contact on your old phone and then tack all the blocked numbers on to that number, then itll work. You might have to add a few new contact entries as im unsure about how many phone numbers you can add to each contact, but im sure you get the idea.
also, if youre blocking phone numbers of people who youd rather not see their name on your phone, you can make a contact called whatever you like such as "mortuary" or "FBI 'nobody wants' list" and add whatever numbers you need on to that contact
First of all, thanks for taking the time to answer to my question.
Indeed you are right, I am not talking about the Contacts. This is the blocklist in the Phone app. (in older devices it was called Auto reject list, now its called Block list).
Adding phone numbers in the block list does not require a Contact to exist. Adding numbers in the block list is easy, during an incoming call the "block" button adds the incoming call to the list and rejects the call at the same time.
Unfortunately, Smart Switch does not transfer this list, hence my post.
I will try what you suggest and create contact that contains blocked numbers, though I'm not sure how to transfer them from the Phone app to the Contacts app. Lets see...

once you have the contact stored, youd just export the vcf file to wherever it needs to go. also, i know the blocked call feature is pretty nice, i rarely use it, but im betting samsung overlooked the passing of blocked caller info with smartswitch. One would have to imagine that the blocked numbers list gets stored somewhere on the phone. Hopefully its not in a root protected folder. Best of luck!
Interesting... the vcf export file is missing some information from my Contacts, like the associated image (the one in the vcf is a small thumbnail only). Seems like this method is even worse than Smart Switch.

i cant say that im at all familiar with the contents of the VCF file itself. I would have thought that the VCF file was pretty basic as its been the standard for a decade
Well, version 4 of the standard (RFC 6350) clearly states the use of a URI which may be a remote URL or a base64 encoded string, but does not impose any resolution limits.
For whatever reason, Samsung hides the Contacts high-res photos within a root-accessible directory and the exported VCF file contains a small thumbnail as a base64 encoded string. Of course there is a big loss of other data as well. For example historical logs of all the Contacts. I'm guessing VCF export is not a real solution for moving to a new phone, but a solution for sharing contacts.
Maybe "adb backup" is more effective? hmmm... food for thought

I didn't migrate for me as well.
I have tried adding the blocked number to my contacts, but it it not migrated to the blocked list on my new phone. Have you managed to migrate it?
JP
Unfortunately, even the latest Smart Switch, does not support migration of the block list
So far, I haven't found a way to backup the list, it has to be done manually.

Thanks. I had 470+ numbers, and it would not have been easy to type each one out. I exported and imported. Took 5 minutes in total with every task done. Thanks again.
It doesn't work anymore as it says it's for old android version and doesn't let us download it.
Is there an alternative?
