Hi.....
I have a Siemens SX56 with Pocket PC phone edition 2002..... Have Special Edition Rom 1.2 installed on it.... Guess it has ver. 3.17.03 base rom version..... PPC phone devices use outlook to send/receive sms messages......
My question is this...... when you write a new sms or reply to an sms, there is no character count.... how do you know when the first sms string is done (i.e., you've written 160 characters)??
Is there some kind of plug-in you can install that adds a character count to your message? Any kind of help will be appreciated. Thank you.
Take a look at sendSMS

There was one other program called SMS Counter, can't find the URL
so here's the actual program its self with update
Hint: SMS character count has been added to Windows Mobile 2003. :wink:

Hi guys, I am looking for some way (software ?), that enables the XDA/Qtek to send and receive SMS picture messages (EMS) -not MMS- using only the GSM network and not the internet, and that is, of course, a stand alone function, I mean by this without having to use a Nokia GSM phone or any other GSM phone.
Thanks for your help
All you really need is an app that associates a particular SMS string with a particular picture. You'd then install this app to both devices - sender and reciever.
You'd open you app, pick a picture and hit send. The app would then send an SMS string, say, 'picture1' via SMS to the receiving xda. That unit would have the app running that would pick up the SMS 'picture1' and, having associated that string with the picture you want (presumably picture #1, for the sake of argument) will display that picture.
That's effectively all EMS does on other handsets (not quite, but effectively) - that's why you can't usually see EMS sent between different devices. Different devices from different manufacturers set up the (proprietary) EMS in different ways.
Try the Philips C12 to the Nokia 7650, for example, then you'll see what I mean.
Tekflow - I think you're talking about EMS - ie the SMS extension 2bit picture format made popular by Nokia phones. I quite miss this, as most of my friends have Nokias, and I often used to send EMSs to them with my 9210.
I've looked into this myself a bit for PPC/PE - the situation's not too good:
Sending is relatively easy, just build the SMS in the correct format and send it out, however receiving it is a nightmare.
Unfortunately, Microsoft have made a complete mess of SMS receiving functionality on the PPC/PE OS, only one single application can ever have the SMS handle open for receive at any one time for a given message protocol (and these are not very fine grained basically Text, Notification, WDP, WCMP, Status and Raw).
This application by default is the SMS handling application of the PocketPC/PE. So basically, you can't use it otherwise you loose the default handling.
On Symbian, it's sooo much easier. There's a 'chain' of receivers, so you just register for a particular message, scan it, and if you don't want to process it, you just pass it on to the next application in the handler chain.
It might be possible to completely rebuild the SMS handling application from scratch, get rid of the default handler, and replace it with your own, however there's quite a lot going on under the surface with SMS handling, so this would be extremely difficult.
One thing you could try is getting the messages after they have been received and placed in the inbox using MAPI. I'm not sure if this would work, as IMHO MAPI is a hopeless API too, and propably would bletch at a SMS type that wasn't plain text. It's worth investigating though.
There are two EMS softs for Pocket PC but not for the "Phone Edition".
These softs used AT commands instead of RIL API.
But as with last ROM it is possible to have access to internal modem with AT commands, these softs should work now.

But EzOS (developer of EzWAP 2.5 MMS) proposes MobyKit, a library to develop SMS/EMS/MMS :

Anyone knows if there is a possibility to send and receive picture messages (EMS, not MMS) using XDA II ? All the available software I found are not compatible with Pocket PC Phone Edition.
I'm looking for the same as well.
Worse still, the PPC or WM2003 default SMS software does not even NOTIFY or do anything when it received an EMS message. In fact, it did nothing .. I suspect it ignored anything apart from SMS, it didn't even store ANYTHING from an EMS. Some normal phones at least receive the EMS but display garbage on SMS, on Xda II -- zilch !!! NOTHING. Try it.
Smart GSM
Guys, I think Smart GSM is the solution. Try it and let me know the results.

Hi Guys,
Just a quick question regarding contacts. I sync with my outlook contacts at work, when i try and send a sms i press the contacts button. The thing is, it shows me an entry for each type of number
ie
Ali 07833454543
Ali +442078763345
Ali [email protected]
so thats three entries for one person !... as you can imagin it makes the list very long.
is there anything i can do, so that it just shows one line for each person, but when you select it, it shows the other numbers?
thanks
Ali
any ideas chaps?
a no would do :roll:
Mine does the same mate - don't know how to resolve it, SMS Name doesn't fix it that's for sure, and I've loaded SER 1.2 now... I guess it's 'cos you're using multiple service types, you have to see the different addresses (POP3/SMS)
in outlook, are your contacts displayed correctly?
What would be REALLY intelligent would be some way to have a shortcuts or "speed dial" list for SMS addressing. I only send SMS to a half-dozen people out of my 225 contacts. It would have been smart to allow you to address an SMS with the speed dial contact or some other list.
Any developers want to create some software for this? Guaranteed I'll buy it.

its a lot easier with ppc 2003

Bring forth your findings then.
Don't dangle the carrot like that !!!!
ppc2003
hi
in ppc 2003 you dont have to find the contact by pressing the contacts iclon you just type there name in and it gives you options on the name also it has a character counter so you know how many you have typed. it also seems to run faster and my battery seems to last longer. i havent set the internet up yet but i will this coming week.

im not sure, but i know the wm2003 roms have a char counter
I have a Qtek 1010. Unfortunately, I could not send one message to multiple contacts. I receive an error and message will only be sent to the first contact person and the rest of contacts shall have a failed sending.
Moreover, I can only send 4 lines of sms characters. anything more than 4 lines, the sms will also fails in sending.
In Addition, the Qtek 1010 does not recognize any contact name on the sent folder. It will only reflect the sent number.
Is there any software patches to resolve the problems above that I encountered?
Thank you.
Sounds like you need a ROM upgrade! :wink:
BTW what ROM version are you running anyway?
Also if I'm not mistaken you need a third party app/program
anyway to be able to send one message to multiple contacts.
Do a Google.com search on the subject and see what turns up.
HTH
Regarding multiple recipients, the xda accepts up to 4 contacts, if you exceeded 4 the message will be sent only to some and for the rest you will have an error message.
About the size of the sms, did you make a signature file foy yourself. If you did, this takes from the capacity of the sms text. take a look at the counter which counts how many characters and the maximum number of characters allowed, which I think is 160 per message
by the way what is your radio stack version and which type of xda you have is it an A type or B type?
Hi folks,
I'm using TMO 4.01.00 and I don't face any limitation with sms longer than 160 chars and to more than 4 contacts. The only missing feature is having a delivery reports by default.
However, I use 'sendSMS' application from ce4arab site as it allowes more functions like flash sms and multiple tries for failed sms (it has english interface).
hi guys,
who can tell me where to get the WM 2003 SE MMS Composer ???
previously i'm using xda II and oready upgrade to WM 2003 SE Rom .... so now the problem is i can receive the MMS but after i download the file and there is no place to find and read the MMS that my friend send me, pls help me on this .... thank you very much
MMS Composer is integrated into your Inbox.
When you open your Inbox / Messaging and expand your tree view, you will see 3 folders Outlook E-mail, Text Message, and MMS.
Yeah, it's integrated but all the program features you'd had previously with the older versions are intact. Personally I think it's good progress, reduces some of the clutter and the stupidity of it saying "No Unread Message" instead of "No Unread Messages".
Bugged the hell outta me that did.
MMS composer sixe limit?
Yes it's all nice everything integrated, but where can you change the size limit. My current size limit is set at 1k, so I can't send or recieve MMS?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In messaging select the mms inbox
Tap 'Tools' tab
Tap 'MMS Settings' from the menu
Tap 'Servers' tab
Then tap on the sever in the list you wish to change the limit for.
its at the bottom of this page.

i use this version on I-Mate Pocket PC with WM2003SE rom
