Hi guys, I am very proud of my new xda, however I could not identify who sent me the sms messages since it does not show the senders names unlike other mobile phones, we cant search by phone numbers too I live in the Philippines where sms is part of our lives! Please help me Thanks in advance
Download the cab-file from the following link, copy it onto your XDA and execute (doubble-click) it. That's all
http://www.mywirelessoffice.com/xda/sms_fix.cab
there is a free utility from paragon software to show names on sms, however it works only for the list view && received sms
take a look at penreader.com, it's lying there somewhere
ROKO: is it the same? mine is called sms_names.ppc.arm.cab I think, does it fix sent items etc...?
thank you very muchb
thanks so much guys, now im super happy with my xda, if only they made it a tri band phone so we can also use it in the us, anyways I very happy now, thanks again guys

I don't know. You could compare the two by looking into the cab files using WinZip. I wouldn't worry too much about it, there are more way's of doing the same thing. :wink:

That's funny, I was wondering why I was getting more traffic on that site lately...
The copy I have may not be the most current, though it does seem to work fine. It was not an official release. I can't recall the URL for the official release, but I know you can find it in Google.

Hi, I've followed this subject word for word, but my XDA keeps telling me theres no file associated with the three files you get when you unzip the downloaded file?? can you help?
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to default Pocket Outlook to display First Name, Last Name.
I have set all my contact on the PC to First, Last, but if I create a new contact on the XDA or I edit the name of any contact on the XDA it reverts to Last, First.
I have tried this on a Dell Axim X5 (PPC2003) and this seems to be the same.
Thanks
Matt
Yep got that same prob!! But I got around it by saving the contact to SIM then copy to phone and from there add any additional details.
Hope this helps.

If anyone has an easy answer to this one, I'd be very pleased.
I've been fighting with this one for months.

This will work but as soon as you edit any part of the name in the address book it reverts to Last, First again and you have to repeat the process again!
When you sysn to Outlook 2002/XP go to contact select the contact name you want to edit their is an option called "File as" which is drop down menu. it will display the First AND Last Name . Save AND Close repeat step for other contacts.
Hope this helps :wink:
This doesn't help when you add a new contact on the XDA, it files it LAST, FIRST, until you get a chance to sync the XDA and change it back in Outlook.

Oh boy, my favorite Pocket Outlook annoyance, one of many, since I use the GroupWise 6.5 client with IntelliSync to synchronize. What can I say: masochism, a way of life?
Anyway, I solved it by cutting the last name and appending that to the first name for all (250-300 ) my contacts. Only takes one night and is a real good practise for getting used to the touchscreen.
I have searched on a lot of forums, and only 1 tip can be read time after time: get a different PIM, even if you don't have the issue we're discussing right now.
Really, why Microsoft didn't put an option to change the View in there will probably never cease to amaze me :shock:

I understand your point but it all depends how often you sysnc your XDA and use Outlook 2000/XP as you PIM . Well it's one soultion..... :?

The best solution for me is to change all contacts to First Name only containing all full name, but as I am a lazy software engineer I wrote some software to do it. I also wrote it to change any (UK) mobile number it finds to +44 at the start so the caller ID appears when then send sms.
I don't have an ftp site so if anyone wants to e-mail me I can send them a copy - runs on the PC with Office 2000 or greater installed and you can preview what changes it will do before altering anything.
Usual disclaimer applies - Don't blame me and make a back up of your contacts in Outlook before you start.

Does anyone know of some software that will send sms on my pc through my xda when it is in the sync cradle?
Cheers
Jas
I don't know about sending through your xda but just send an email to the phone number @mobile.att.net or @tmomail.net
i.e [email protected]
Att and Tmobile are the only sms gateways I know. I'm sure they all have one though. - Jim
There is a new product called CoolSMS (or is it SMS Cool???). I saw it last week on Handango.
I've tried it, it works in that u can sync the sms in your inbox and type the SMS on your PC and sent it through the O2. But as most 1.0 version there a few quirks, especially that the editor to type the SMS on your PC is buggy.
cool! could you send me that coolsms or sms cool.
Cheers
Jas
it is a commercial program
what does that mean?
that you have to pay for it then you get a seriel number which unlock the program
not all programs for pda are free
of cause like pc programs one can often get hold of commercial programs without paying but it's illegal
here is the link to the review of the tool and you can download a trial version
http://msmobiles.com/article.php/59.html
do you know where i can get it with out paying
nop sorry
nor would i advise you to ask too much about such things in the forum
because i think that the mods can be held responsible for warez in forums
which may mean that they delete this thread or ban you or something
maybe you can find some evil opposite of elvis who knows who knows
ok cheers bud
There is a way to do this with a free software. Download & install the free Remote Display Control application from MS. You can find it at :
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/resources/downloads/default.mspx
This application is similar to PcAnywhere. You see your XDA screen on your PC while the XDA is connected to your PC via ActiveSync. Simply navigate to your SMS Inbox and create and send the message. Presto!
Hope this helps.

This is a great tip and thanks for posting it but $9.99 isn't a bad price for such a Cool program. 8)
Qman, thanks. I must admit having seen this posted somewhere earlier on so much as I'd like to I can't claim credit for the idea!
I agree with you in the price of CoolSMS being reasonable at $9.99, especially if it allows one to compose SMS while the XDA is not yet connected to ActiveSync to be sent at the next ActiveSync. This is one thing you can't do with the solution I posted.

Hi Friends,
I am Shailesh Ashar and this is my 2nd app. ( 1st being Group SMS details of which can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=306682 ). OK guyz , this is a big one (atleast for me).
Whats the App:
CallFirewall basically rejects unwanted calls.
Features & Options:
a. Accecpt all calls - pretty self explainatory
b. Accept call from My Contacts only - accepts calls from contacts only, others are rejected
c. Reject all calls - pretty self explainatory
d. White List - accepts calls only from the white listed nos
e. Black List - accepts all call except from the black listed nos
f. Black List Pattern - any no STARTING from the black list pattern list is rejected.
for eg. if you enter "123", so all nos STARTING from "123" will be rejected
this is a very nice option with which you can block nos from any particular network, country, city , area or whatever you can think of.
Finally there is also an option to reply with an SMS.
IMPORTANT:
1. To Delete Blacklist/Whitelist Nos TAP & HOLD the stylus for a few seconds to get the options.
2. Autostart - Create a shortcut to Callfirewall.exe with 'startup' as parameter (without the '') and copy to windows/startup/
3. Please uninstall previous versions before installing ver 1.3
4. Also Delete Callfirewall.xml from the Root folder. Previous versions Callfirewall.xml will not work with ver 1.3.
5. The XML file for 1.3 and 1.4 are compatible.
KNOWN ISSUES :
1. One Ring Delay in Rejecting Calls.
2. Ongoing call -> Blocked Caller Calls -> Existing Call is Hung Up.
3. Problems with some Radio ROMS where the caller identdification is delayed by Windows by a couple of seconds.
PLEASE DO NOT MAIL ME COMPLAINING ABOUT THE KNOWN ISSUES.
Ver 1.4
----------
1. Selective Call Barring.
Now you can restrict selected outgoing calls.
2. Add outgoing calls as Appointments.
Ver 1.3
----------
1. Added SMS Black List
You can add numbers as well as names.
eg. you put 'abc' as name, then all smses starting , ending and containing 'abc' as contact name will be blocked. The same works for numbers as well so beware.
2. Added Silent Startup - Create a shortcut to Callfirewall.exe with 'startup' as parameter and copy to windows/startup/.
3. 'Add as Appointment' Timings can now be adjusted by minutes ( + or - ).
4. Appointment is now saved in format: "Call from : Mr.X NUMBER Accepted/Rejected", Category : Call Firewall, Reminder Alarm is not set.
Ver 1.2
----------
1. Added option to reject unknown / private / withheld nos
2. Option to Add Accepted calls as calendar appointment
3. Option to Add Rejected calls as calendar appointment
4. Toggle Option to show 'CallFirewall' in 'running programs' / Task Managers
5. Save User Settings so that it remains intact upon restart.
6. Completely revamped UI to accomodate new options.
Ver 1.1
----------
Also added an option when selected, will ask you whether to send an SMS when a call is rejected
SmartPhone Version 1.2
-------------------------------
I have ported the PPC version to SmartPhone as is. So essentially all the cons as well as issues with ppc have also been carried fwd.
I'll be working on all the issues and will also be incorporating some of the new features and suggestions listed by you all. So please keep the feedbacks coming. Also, I am doing this in my free time so pls be patient with the updates.
From now on Both PPC & SmartPhone versions will be updated hand in hand.

Hey that sounds cool.. (especially the "FREE" part ).
Anyways, a request/question.. Is it possible for you to embed an "Interactive" functionality to the "Reply with SMS" option, i.e., when u miss/dismiss/ignore a call, it should ask you whether u want to sen an sms or not. (Just like SPB Phonesuite)...

I guess adding another feature for SMS will be nice,like call sms blocker
will surely consider in the next version.

Actually, the reasoning behind this is that while one is busy, or otherwise, if one doesnt want to take a call from a few ppl but he/she would not want to send a notification sms to all of them. and smtimes to the same person u might not want to send an sms and smtimes u might.. Many ppl I know want this feature especially those for whom sms is quite expensive (e.g. for me an sms is even more expensive than calling up the person for 2 minutes)
I dont know how difficult it would be to implement this.
One possible way would be to check in the registry whenever u miss a call, it would trigger a function to pop up the yes/no kinda dialogue/notification to send an sms to last missed number. (From the way SPB phonesuite works, I think that this is how it implements this).

Both the apps are written using managed code so it will take a while to load.
I am not sure but if u install .net cf 2 on device instead of storage card then it should make some difference.

Hi all.... i have just moved from blackberry to the samsung glaxy s3....
I have a few questions regarding the contacts and the phone dialer....
1- is it somehow possible to customise the contacts view so that i can see the company name under the na.e of the contact without actually opening the contact..... this was a default thing on my blackberry n was extremely useful... i want the same to happen on android also.
2- in the phone application also i want to see the company name of the contact under the contact name.
3- i also want to see the company name in the call screen (incoming calls and outgoing calls)......
I have looked for an answer to this in these forums, google n lots of other places. I even rooted my phone to edit the contacts and the phone app, but since i have negligie knowledge of programming, was unsuccessful in that too....
Developers, can u please help me in this.....

try full screen caller id (search for it in android market), i believe that shows all details when you have an incoming call.
click thanks if i helped
Thanks alot buddy.... i have looked in the market... yes there are certain apps.... but they are limited in such a way that they will display the company name only on the actual call screen, not when i am trying to find a contact... but i will look again if u say...
