Hello all,
current version is 1.4.1 beta
my own attempt to add the missing "missed call" and "missed sms" reminder to WM 6, WM 6.1 and WM 6.5
the idea here was to keep it simple. the program can vibrate and or generate a chosen sound at a set interval, to notify the user that there are missed calls or unread sms messages. it will wakeup the device if needed to give the notification.
Note: The program has been created and tested on PocketPC phones only. This program might or might not work correctly on Smartphones.
to use:
install the cab on the device or the storage card.
launch the application and set your preferences.
click apply, the program will minimize. it is neccessary to keep the program running to have it generate new reminders, but it only uses the cpu when needed it does not poll every minute or so to see if a notification came in.
hope that someone will find this usefull
The program currently offers the following:
missed notification for missed call/ sms / mms and e-mail
No reminder when call is in progress
Option to set sound per reminder type (the sounds will,if needed, be generated all at once for the moment, this could be changed in the future)
option to "minimize to taskbar" or "minimize and hide"
Lock screen on phone call connect (I am using this myself and decided to keep it in. it locks the screen using the windows lock when a phonecall is connected. it unlocks the screen when a phonecall is finished. Default this is off, and you do not have to use it if you do not want to.)
Option to set vibrate time in seconds
LED vibrate number can be chosen from 0 till 20
Option to not wakeup the device
Option to not give reminder in set timespan (if you specify from 2300 till 0700, it means that the program will not generate a reminder between 2300 and 0700 each day)
About box
Should display in QVGA/VGA/WQVGA/WVGA
The program uses almost no cpu time, only when it is needed
one "advanced user" registry key in HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/MissedCallReminder:
debug: Default is "False", if set to "True", the program will generate debug information in a logfile. to help me indentify problems.
NOTE: apparently Omnia devices use the sms count for both SMS and MMS, that means that the program should generate a MMS reminder if SMS reminder is selected. I would like to hear from Omnia users if this is true.
1.4.1 beta release
bugfix: Reminders are given for a notification even if the notification is not selected in the notifications tab. (second attempt )
bugfix: If no reminder between is used the program does not correctly follow the time rule
bugfix: program still vibrates the phone if phone sound is set to silent
TODO (Things that will be in a next version):
Multi language support
WISHLIST (Things that might be in a next version, if i have the time and can make it work)
Option to stop generating a reminder after x minutes
option to stop generating a reminder after x times
KNOWN BUGs (things that,if possible, be fixed in a next version)
A small FAQ
Q: what does Vibrate LED number mean?
A: The LED number specified here is used to vibrate the device. This is different per device. Using the "Menu - Test vibrate" you can test if the number entered in the vibrate LED number field is the correct one for vibrating the device.
Q: what does the menu option "No icon in taskbar mean?
A: the option "Menu - No icon in taskbar" controls the "minimize to taskbar" or "minimize and hide".
When "No icon in taskbar" is NOT selected the program will minimize to the taskbar. the program can only be reopened using the icon in the taskbar. it is not visible in the taskmanager.
When "No icon in taskbar" is selected the program will only minimize. it can be reopened by relaunching the program. it is also visible in the taskmanager.
TouchFlo user should select the "No icon in taskbar". when doing this please close the program and relaunch it for the setting to take effect.
Q: What does "Lock screen on call connect" mean?
A: it locks the screen using the windows lock when a phonecall is connected. it unlocks the screen when a phonecall is finished. Default this is off, and you do not have to use it if you do not want to.
Q: I cannot relaunch the program when it is already running using the program icon.
A: please see post # 2:
If you like my work, feel free to give a small donation ( EUR or USD )
Further explanation for the program does not start from program icon
I'll try to explain with some pictures how the program behaves when the no icon in taskbar option is selected or not selected. Just to be sure that it is not the cause for users who are experiencing problems with reopening the program using the program icon:
first situation:
You have installed MissedCallReminder and you start it for the first time, If you change nothing and select Apply the following will now happen:
Menu - no icon in taskbar is NOT selected (noiconintaskbar.jpg)
The program is not visible in any Taskmanager's application list
The MissedCallReminder icon is visible in the taskbar (Iconintaskbarnotselected.jpg)
When this is happening the program will not react to clicks on the program icon in the programs list, it can only be reopened using the taskbar icon.
second situation
You have installed MissedCallReminder and you start it for the first time, you select Menu - no icon in taskbar AND completely exit the application using Menu - Exit. You then restart the program and select Apply and the following will now happen:
Menu - no icon in taskbar is selected (Iconintaskbarselected.jpg)
The program is visible in any Taskmanager's application list (visibleintaskmanager.jpg)
The MissedCallReminder icon is NOT visible in the taskbar
When this is happening the program will react to clicks on the program icon in the programs list.
Request: If users experience this and are certain the above situation is not the case then i would be very interested in what the program registry settings are. if you are able to do this could those users please open a registry editor and navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MyMissedCallReminder and tell me the value of the key "minimizetotaskbar"
cool.. i'll be using it

Looks neat
Throwing in an idea, hope it's ok. It would be good if you could have reminders for only missed calls and not messages (or the other way around for that matter - looks like you will get the same reminders from both on the screenshots).
I'm biking a lot and don't always won't to stop to read a new message, hence reminders can be a bit annoying. On the other hand, I'm wearing my headset so I always pick up calls

i am currently working on some "improvements" like having it minimize to the taskbar. i think i will also include the option to turn a reminder on or off for unread SMS or missed call
OMG thx man very much,i was looking for a prog. like this for a while now,thx again great post
Good Job, it works on my KS20
I like it, it is simple
No Vibrating
No vibrating on ASUS P535!
How do you HTC people cope with the reminder witch turns on the screen. In your pocket, an unwanted touch on the screen could run an application?
The Asus P535 has an HOLD button!
Too bad the button apply can't be reached with a 240x320 (landscape) display like the one used on the IPAQ 914C

when applying the settings you can also specify the LED number to vibrate (default is 1) . please try this. perhaps it will be usefull to have a test option.
regarding the unwanted touch problem, i personally use S2U2, so when the device wakes up i do not have this problem.
what i can do is add an option that the device does not wakeup when a reminder is given. but that does mean that you will not hear any reminder until the device wakes up.

There are programs that still work in SLEEP MODE (for example, autoflight is always telling me the time....even in sleep mode).
*Memory heap size = 1Mb (OsRemindMe = 1,6Mb)

i think the LED number for vibrate could be any number between 0 - 5, but i do not know for sure, it is 1 on my Touch. i must admit that setting the LED number is not very clear for first time users. I do not know how to make it so that it automatically uses the correct number.
I'm in the impression that you can not hear a sound if the device is in sleep mode. but perhaps i am mistaken? Autoflight generates a sound without waking up the device?
Thanks it's great
Always wanted an app like that for my WM6.1
nice piece of work
pretty nice work.. however, it would be good if following things can be revised?
--> can you plz add in a feature "number to repeat". FYI, i'm now using Throttle Launcher. So, i can't trigger off the reminder alarm. it would be good if it stops automatically after x-times (which can be set by user),
OR..
whenever i read/aware the missed call/msg, this reminder program would detect that missed call / unread msg = 0, thus OFF the reminder automatically. (This would be preferable)
Many Thanks....
add in some extra information..

regarding above statements, perhaps i shall further clarify....
a) add in "number to repeat"..
example: reminder will give notification every interval of 2mins for 5 times
I'm now using Touch (with Throttle Launcher interface, 240x320), perhaps this reminder program need user to off it manually? yet, it's too bad that i can't trigger this button... so, i suggest 2nd option which stated above....
Thanks...

if the user dismisses the missed calls and marks the unread sms as read while the program is running ,the program should know when not to give the reminder anymore.
however problems can arise if the program is not running and the user dismisses the missed call/unread sms notifications. the set reminder will then not be cancelled. this should be fixed in the next version. the next version will also have an option to clear generated reminders.
Hi,
Thanks for your prompt reply. Personally I think this program has great potential. Just wish it could be revised to a better software.
I tried it yesterday. It rings to notify me that i have missed calls / unread msg.. somehow, I went to read the msg and checked the missed call.. yet, the reminder won't stop.. (and i din see any button to be pressed to stop, if there is any? )..
plz advise?
Thanks
I would like to disable the notification that is on the main text message screen in the TF3D interface. if anything i wouldnt mind finding the registry entries that tell the system how much time you have to highlight a text for it to clear the notification out.
yes, I want a way to make it clear the SMS indicator as soon as I enter that screen.
Disable SMS Sent Notification
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings] Set SMSNoSentMsg to 1
or just get the newest advance config 3.3 and it has a setting in there as well
I've written a script called "RandomRingtone". This script allows to automatically change the ringtone after each incoming call. It needs MortScript to run (I'm using 4.3b15) and .NET Compact Framework 3.5. Tested on Benq E72, Windows Mobile 6.5 Standard.
Features:
Various work modes:
Regular - it doesn't change ringtone, little useless, but good if we want to "lock" current ringtone for a while,
Random - allows to select random ringtone,
List - user can specify the order of use.
Exlcusion lists: user can specify which ringtones shouldn't be used by script or which calling numbers shouldn't cause to change the ringtone.
Various notification types: after each incoming call name of actually selected ringtone can be shown as a message, displayed on the homescreen or omitted.
Ignore missed calls: when enabled, only answered call will cause to change the ringtone.
Don't change when meeting profile is active: in this profile no ringtone is used so there is no need to change the ringtone.
Detailed informations:
When work mode is set to "Regular", you still can change ringtones. Just click "Next ringtone", then new random ringtone will be chosen. When work mode is set to "Random", each incoming call will cause to select random ringtone. You can also force the change like previously, clicking "Next ringtone". In this mode, when "Loop" option is enabled, each ringtone will be used only once as long as there are ringtones which have been not used yet. When all ringtones will be used, the cycle starts from the beginning. Even if this option is disabled, next ringtone always is different than actually used. When work mode is set to "List", user can create the list with specified usage order. Clicking on ringtone's name will show context menu with options ("Remove", "Move up", "Move down"). When the list ends, it can be repeated or mode can be changed to random or regular (with given default ringtone). Regardless of chosen work mode, user may select to ignore missed calls - ringtone's change will be done only when call was answered.
User can specify excluded ringtones list. These ringtones will not be used by script, so e.g. these ringtones can be assigned individually to some contacts. Clicking on ringtone's name will display additional context menu. There is also one option which may be useful for that purposes - excluding some contacts. Contacts added to the list will not cause change ringtone when they are calling to us. These options are not connected, but when we assign static ringtone to specified contacts, it would be good if their calls will not cause to change the ringtone .. These options give us ability to do that.
Main script ("RandomRingtone.mscr") is automatically executed after each incoming call through other script, "RandomRingtone_loader.mscr", which is executed by "RandomRingtone_preloader0.mscr" or "RandomRingtone_preloader1.mscr". Those scripts are executed by a small program, "RandomRingtone.exe", which is running in the background and checking for incoming call. User should always run main script, not preloader's application or loader's script. When we want to turn on/off preloader, there is an option in main menu - "Active". To automatically start preloader when system starts, enable "Autorun" option in Settings.
After incoming call script can inform us which ringtone is actually choosen. This can be done in two ways: displaying automatically hiding message with countdown (5 sec.) or through plugin on homescreen. I used "CTestUIPlugin" which is the part of "SlidingPanel" (Bronze plugin), unfortunately I don't know how it looks in other phones. In the attachements I've added modified .xml and .cpr files. User may also supress this notifications selecting proper option.
Strings are stored in file "Language.ini". I've created two files (polish and english, sorry for poor translation, there are probably many linguistic errors, so it will be nice if someone would correct this file...). Error / warning / information messages are part of scripts and are only in english. While normal work you shouldn't even see these messages, but when something going wrong, see if in directory where script is stored exists file "ErrorLog.txt".
Ringtones need to be stored in "\Windows" or directly on "\Storage Card".
Installation:
Unpack archive and run "RandomRingtone.mscr". You need to have MortScript installed (tested on 4.3b15).
If you are using "AppToDate", place "RandomRingtone.xml" into your AppToDate folder (usually "\Application Data\AppToDate").
If you are using "SlidingPanel" (Bronze plugin), you can put "SlidingPanel.home.xml" into "\Application Data\Home" and "SlidingPanel_240x320.cpr" into "\Windows" directory. Standard plugin's icon was changed to "2401;2401" (you can do this manually, key "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\CTestUIPlugin", value "ICONPATHS").
I've attached polish language file, if you want to use them, change name to "Language.ini" and replace with existing one.
Known bugs:
Please report in this topic any bugs, even small or related with poor english translation...
Code:
1. Actual MortScript beta version (4.3b15) seems to has a problem with ExitSub or If...EndIf section, what causes unexpected behaviour even when ExitSub command is in condition which is not true, so shouldn't be processed. By this reason, there is no "Exit" option when we enter into "Ringtones list" submenu, instead of this we need to use "Cancel" softkey.
2. Probably from this same reason MortScript doesn't serve correctly some strings (in "Choice" window), so some ringtones name or options can be displayed incorrectly.
3. Very short incoming calls can cause to not recognize incoming caller number, so when we are using "Excluded contacts" list, script may change ringtone although user is on the list.
4. Few times when system was very low on memory and caller with unknown ID was calling while "Ignore missed calls" was disabled, my phone changed ringtone to default stored in rom.
5. When system is very busy, message which informs about used ringtone may stay in background and not shown.
Changelog:
Version number describes release date (YYMMDD) and version number released in that day.
Code:
100927.01
- Now small .exe application is responsible for incoming call detection, not script like previously. This application is less power consuming than continously running script, which was draining battery too fast.
100503.01
- User can enter script for meeting profile. When meeting profile is active, script will not change the ringtone.
- Minor bugs fixed.
100502.01
- Initial version.
I like it!
An exceptional piece of work!
is it supporting Inesoft Phone 6 ??
I didn't use Inesoft Phone, but it will be working, script uses system registry entries to detect incoming call, not dialer window's title. I don't know exactly what are the features of Inesoft Phone, so some functions may be overlapping but I don't think this happen.
Hi,
I don't know if u r interested in adding any features, but with all the architecture in your script, you might:
Personal tones for text messages
You could also select contacts by using the Cyclone command line app. This way it would pull up the contact list and then select a contact from their...
Of course you would need to handle the playing of the sound for sms.
Mortscript forever?
Hello all,
my problem is related to Task & Appointments Reminder Popup that is the classic WM6.5 (sorry I don't have any picture).
BTW, when a reminder for appointment or task, popup on the screen, I can choose "snooze (5,10,30..... mins)" or Dismiss.
If I choose dismiss, the related reminder will never appear, but the task or the appointment are still on calendar.
Is there any way to change the action on reminder from Dismiss to Delete? Or at least from Dismiss to "Complete" (for task)....
I have a lot of task, meeting, and so on, and if I check the calendar I would like to see only the appointments or tasks not really done!
Ok, I know, I can choose view item and then delete, but could be more simple if I can press a button (like dismiss) and then delete the task/appointment.
Please help, I'm driving crazy!!!
