hiya

recent convert from mobile to pda
does anyone know if we can stick smilies or ems pic on our sms
or even receive them :?:

[Rudegar]

no the sms recieve part of the OS dont support ems and cant be made to wihtout rewriting parts of windows ce

but people said that it could be made to send ems if parts of outlook were changed to made those ems codes

you can of cause make manual smilies like :)

Is the change really that serious? I thought the SMS receiving function was only handled by one DLL called SMSReceiver_DLL.dll.

I have tried sending an EMS from a Nokia phone to Xda II, unfortunately I got no response from Xda II at all, I mean NOTHING, no notification, no garbage characters SMS in Inbox (tmail.exe), not a single sign of any incoming sms or anything!

I suspect that this SMSReceiver thingy is written to handle SMS only, and anything with a header which does not comply to a normal SMS, namingly EMS -- IT DOES NOTHING! This is most unfair. :(

[Rudegar]

yeah that might do it
of cause you would also have to make some application to make then
and possibly view them something like mms compose

i dont think that outlook and display pictures like that
of cause i could be wrong

also composing them would also prob be an issue with outlook

i think that phonecompany's and cellphone makers are pushing mms these days so i doubt that it will be in the xda3

do the newer nokia and sonyericsson even support the std anymore ?

there was a program by eMood soft which handles EMS message (sending & receiving) but it's not designed for Phone Edition. I installed it, it looked good but too bad it can only work via Com ports, IR, Bluetooth etc ... Can't use it on Xda II at all. And the website for this eMood seems to have shut for good. No sign of any other software that works under WM2003 Phone Edition. :(

Well, as you said most providers are now pushing for MMS ... but in many Asian countries, EMS are still widely used for leisure. And for new Nokia phones or SE phones (even P900), EMS seems to be pretty standard.
