[WIRO]

well i like the idea verry much looking verry prommesing
will keep an eye on this thread ;-)

[tom_codon]

I have picked up the idea of SMSoIP and have written a "small" app for sending SMS over the Internet.


Because the current version (v0.0.9) is not completely bug free, I will release a fixed public Version soon.

nice ..!
Keep your work skandler :D

[skandler]

I think, I can release the public beta tomorrow (08.09.). :cool:

[skandler]

Ok, I have uploaded the program.

[vapor]

I am wondering if there is any difference between this program and SMSoIP such as smaller memory consumption or better integration?

[skandler]

Updated to v0.1.2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1493290#post1493290)

[badkapp]

i use the program since the first version and i sent a lot of sms with it.

its a great program!!!

[geezer78]

Do you think there is a way to incorporate this programme into pocketcm? that way we have the beautiful interface of pocketcm and the super cheap sms of voipbuster or similar!

i also asked the author of pocketcm this question on his forum:

http://pocketcm.com/phorum/read.php?16,4117

just my 2cnts ;-)

[casouzaj]

Hi Skandler,

Congratulations and thanks for your application. It is even esier to use than Yoobe's SMSoIP, because you've made most of the data already prepopulated. However I have some requests for it to be perfect, IMHO:

1. I've seen that you remove the leading "0" found in national numbers, prior to inserting "00CC" (Country Code). All my contacts are stored in national format in my Contacts list, but we, brazilians, have to dial a 2-digit carrier code after the leading "0" (e.g. 0411987654321, where 41 is for TIM, 19 is the area code, and 87654321 is the mobile subscriber number), for what I have to edit the number prior to sending SMSs. Like Yoobe once did in his application, would it be possible for you to include a field somewhere for it to remove "n" dígits (3 in my case, including the leading "0"), when a national number is detected?

2. Could you make your application pick other fields in Contacts as well, like "Radio", "Company", etc., in order to allow it to send SMSs to the soft SMS providers out there?

3. You have provided one set of fields ("Username", "Password" and "From Num.") only for both "VoipBuster" and "VoipBusterPro" in your "Provider" tab. I know that both of them belong to the same company. However, in order to tune in the embedded Voip feature in my WM6 device, I have different accounts in both of them. Would it be possible for you to split them?

Well, even if you don't implement any of the above, your application is still very handy.
Thanks anyway.
Best regards,

Carlos

[skandler]

I will have a look to your requested features next week.

[skandler]

Like Yoobe once did in his application, would it be possible for you to include a field somewhere for it to remove "n" dígits (3 in my case, including the leading "0"), when a national number is detected?

I don´t understand your problem.

1. In what format is the mobile number saved in Outlook?

2. How does convert my program this number?

3. How should the number be?

[casouzaj]

I don´t understand your problem.

1. In what format is the mobile number saved in Outlook?

2. How does convert my program this number?

3. How should the number be?
I'm sorry for my poor english in my previous post. It was probably not clear at all. I will try to repeat the same example as before:

I want to make an hypothetical national phone call to a mobile subscriber whose local number is 87654321. He lives in a city whose code is 19. As I live in Brazil, which happens to be continental country, I must choose one of the half a dozen long distance carriers to make the appropriate interconnection between the local carriers. In my example, I will pick TIM, whose code is 41. All our national calls begin with a leading 0 (zero). So, to reach that subscriber, I must dial 0411987654321.

Answer to question #1: that's exactly what it is stored as "Mobile" in my Outook Contacts.

#2: If I choose this contact in your application, it translates that number to 0055411987654321 (I had prepopulated 55 as the country code, of course). So, I conclude that your application detects a national call (by the first digit being 0 and the second not 0, probably), then it replaces the leading 0 by 00CC (coutry code), right?

#3: That's my point: I need it to replace the leading 0 plus the 41, i.e. 3 digits in total, so that the translated number becomes 00551987654321.

Please, let me know if you need further details.
Thank you very much for your attention.
Best regards,
Carlos

[skandler]

Ok, thank you for the detailed explanation. But it´s very difficult to me, to understand this.

Is this right:

....0.411987654321 Outlook
0055411987654321 wrong conversion
0055...1987654321 right conversion

In your case, I must strip 3 nunbers and add the 00CC ?! And this at ALL your mobile numbers? You don´t habe numbers where only two numbers must be stripped to get the correct international mobile number?

So I can add a Checkbox where can users choose between two-number or three-number strippen in the configuration page.

Yes, in my case, 00CC should replace the first 3 digits. And yes, all my contacts are stored in national numbers. IMHO, perhaps it would better if you could provide a fill in box, like the country code one, where the user could specify how many digits he/she wants to be removed, when a national number is detected, instead of a checkbox with predefined values. But such operations should be performed for national number only. In general, if you find a number already in the format 00CC..., I suppose you should not touch it. On the other hand, if a local number is found (i.e 7 or 8 digits, the first one being different from 0), you should insert 00CC without removing any digits. But I'm sure that all these cases might have already been implemented by you...

[geezer78]

Hello Skandler,

I would love to have the posibillity to select "Send Text Message" from a contact's detail page and go directly to your app where that contact is than selected.

Also when i receive a new message notification it would be super if i could just press reply and the contact (or number) is selected in your app so i can start typing right away!

[skandler]

Sorry, but both wishes cannot be realized by me.

[MilchCow]

Skandler,

amazing work! You have to keep it up, buddy! :)

Just a couple of hints from my side:

1.) My sound settings regarding succesful/failed sending can't be saved. Each time I close the programme and open it again, the dialogue disappears and I need to fill in the path again.
2.) History cannot be saved either - each time I close the programme, the history disappeared when I open the programme again.
3.) Buttons on the config page (suppose normally I could browse with those buttons to select a sound file) are not functional.

Apart from that, just a request to make this smart programme even better:

Do you see any chance to create a folder system or something, where I could save all sent messages in a handy way? Probably even export them? That would be useful!

Anyway, I'm more concerned about the first couple of points regarding the saving stuff.

Would be great if u could fix that!

Cheers, brother....

1.) My sound settings regarding succesful/failed sending can't be saved. Each time I close the programme and open it again, the dialogue disappears and I need to fill in the path again.
Thanks for reporting it. I will fix the bug this weekend.

2.) History cannot be saved either - each time I close the programme, the history disappeared when I open the programme again.

History is not saved yet. I will implement this feature in one of the next releases.

3.) Buttons on the config page (suppose normally I could browse with those buttons to select a sound file) are not functional.The buttons play only the entered sound file. There is now browsing function. But I could implement browsing WAV Files. It´s a good idea.

Do you see any chance to create a folder system or something, where I could save all sent messages in a handy way? Probably even export them? That would be useful!
Folders for SMS for each Provider only, or do you want to create your own folders?

[skandler]

Many Voipbuster Resllers offers FREE SMS in many countries. But currently, you can only Voipbuster accounts in IPSMS.


The next release of IPSMS will have support for Reseller Accounts!

[MilchCow]

Folders for SMS for each Provider only, or do you want to create your own folders?
Well, I actually was just thinking about a useful way to see the messages I sent which makes the follow-up of longer conversations easier, if you get what I mean.

However, it might be enough to save the history, really.....

[skandler]

I had another idea: Abbrevation buttons (text for each button free configurable).

What do you think? Useful or not?

In the next release, the history were saved as an HTML file. So you can even view the history on your desktop PC.

That can certainly be useful!

After using your program for a while now, and loving it more & more, i do notice some minor points i would love to have differently:


Remember last provider
Sort Contacts on usage, so the last/most used contact is at the top.


i love this program and looking forward to the next release!

I had another idea: Abbrevation buttons (text for each button free configurable). What do you think? Useful or not?

Hi there. Great app! I was thinking of coding something similar myself, although with a few tweaks to this app I might not need to - good work!

Some feedback:

1. I second the last poster - I use VOIPBuster Pro and the app doesn't remember this setting every time I re-load it.
2. Why the blue status screen on the front page? I think this makes the app look ugly, I guess it was good for testing/debug, but now perhaps you could hide this - in my opinion, the app would seem to perform more gracefully without. Perhaps you could just display "Sending..." and then ..."Done" in a status label.
3. Add a trim() function to the outlook contacts list; contacts with a blank last name get a space before their name in the list, making them appear indented.
4. How about an auto complete on the name field, so you could begin typing a contact's name and it auto-completed.
5. This is a REALLY HARD ONE to do (!) and requires interrop with MAPI but what about adding the sent SMS messages to the "Sent Items" folder of pocket outlook.

Thanks for a great app

Carlos

[skandler]

Thanks geezer78 and carlosp_uk for the feedback. I will keep you´re feature requests in mind.

That´s an REALLY great idea. I´m working on a SMS-Inbox feature (see your incoming SMS and answer directly). So I can also try to write sent messages to Outlook. I don´t know how that works, but I can give it a try.

No problem ;-)

Good luck with that - something I'm also looking at developing at the moment. It depends what you're coding in, but if it's .NET, you'll need to write a wrapper, or purchase Mobile In The Hand (www.inthehand.com)

[skandler]

Community Edition - Is a limited subset of the library and is free for evaluation and non-commercial/academic use.

Is the Community Edition not enough, to do that?

[geezer78]

Hello Skandkler,

I was wondering if there's anything i can do to help you with this development... i'm afraid i'm no programmer, but i do know my way around photoshop quite well...

looking forward to any updates,

Gijs

[skandler]

Little update:

The abbreviation buttons are done. I´m working now on showing incoming messages, to reply directly from IPSMS. I´m also working on writing the HTML history file.

On request, it also will be possible, to use two accounts for each provider.

[lastnikita]

Would you please check if there is a way to include a compatibility with nonoh.net ? It's REALLY cheap to use ;)

[michaelra]

and also SMSDiscount! (www.smsdiscount.com) which can be a reseller of VOIPBuster maybe?

[skandler]

As I know NONOH doesn´t offers a API. So I couldn´t integrate it.

and also SMSDiscount! (www.smsdiscount.com) which can be a reseller of VOIPBuster maybe?

As mentioned above, further version of IPSMS supports Voipbuster Reseller accounts.

i think that would be great! but i would recommend making this optional and the "smileys bar" as well.. probably not everyone would like to use it.

on another note... : i asked earlier if it would be possible to intercept sms. you said that you didn't think it would be...
I was just playing with the new version of pocketcm, and that does intercept sms... so it can be done!... it would be super.... that way you can simply answer an incoming sms through your app...

anyway... i'm looking forward to another release... i'm using your app everyday! and loving it!

maybe Tene can help you get started?

[gogol]

Hi skandler, thanks for your great effort for making this app :D

I second to this, you should make an option for that "smileys bar" and the "photo contact" because not everyone would like to use it.

For example myself :) I use PocketCM Keyboard with my own layout that has all those smiley buttons :) For sure a lot of people are having something like this as well.

And I like the idea to store the SMS to the PIM database (Pocket Outlook).

PS: However, I opted to have those 8 photo contacts! That's nice and handy.

Bug (feature request) report:

v0.1.2

Last used provider is not saved. Everytime I start IPSMS, it set to "VoipBuster".

Feature request:

CAB installer :) So, when it is installed, it will be accessible from the "Program" menu and registered with the default uninstaller.

Currently, I cant link it to the HTC Home Launcher tab because I copy it in the "Storage Card".

Create a link. Then you can execute IPSMS from the startmenu and the HTC Home Launcher.

Ok, but there is no "VoipBusterPro" in the config :)

Only "VoipBuster" ...

Hmm, I will try to find out about the link ...

He skandler,

i keep coming back to this thread in the hopes to find an updated version...

i don't want to rush you, but do you think you can post an intermediate version? it doesn't have to fix everything, that way we can go with small steps?

if i can do anything to help, just shout!

gijs

[skandler]

The current version is not running yet.

The next release is far far far away.


P.s.: I cannot work on the project, caused by this problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1556455#post1556455

Issue fixed. I´m using VS2005 instead of VS2008. Build speed decreased from 60 secons to 1 second. I can work on IPSMS again !!!

[gogol]

Thanks God! :) I was waiting to have that 8 contact photo feature!

Keep up the good work and let me know if I can help or something.

[GpsPasSion]

I might be doing something wrong, but I can't seem to use the free SMS via VOIPBUSTER as with the java app, it says "not enough credit" ?

[skandler]

Sending SMS with Voipbuster is not free.

http://www.voipbuster.com/en/smsrates.html

Some Voipbuster Resellers (like www.sparvoip.de) offer free SMS in some countrys.

[gogol]

Even if it is free, you must purchase credit after some times.

I created an account with VoipBusterPro, and sent several free SMSes.

But after that, I got error not enough credit.

So, I purchased $10 credit.

Then I can continue to send free SMSes.

The credit is not decreased btw (if the destination rate = free !).

[skandler]

That´s rigth.

Send SMS messages to all these destinations for 0 ct/message!!
This offer is available for users with Sparvoip credit.

You must have credits to use free sms.

When I enter the country code (Mexico: 52) in the settings, and I try to send a sms using my outlook contacts, I have to re enter the country code in the phone number to be able to send the sms... any solution?

[GpsPasSion]

actually it's free if you use their java app downloadable on http://gsm.voipbuster.com from your mobile device. They must be using special "calls" I suppose, but try it, it works !

[skandler]

When I enter the country code (Mexico: 52) in the settings, and I try to send a sms using my outlook contacts, I have to re enter the country code in the phone number to be able to send the sms... any solution?

1. In what format is stored the mobile number in Outlook ?

2. In what format converts IPSMS this number? (shown right of the Contacts dropdown field) ?

[grypho]

1. In what format is stored the mobile number in Outlook ?

The normal format, for example, here a mobile number is 5534543423

2. In what format converts IPSMS this number? (shown right of the Contacts dropdown field) ?


it is shown as in outlook, but no country code added to it.

[skandler]

The normal format, for example, here a mobile number is 5534543423

And it should be 525534543423 ?

The easiest way to fix your problem is, to store your mobile numbers in international format in Outlook.

[gogol]

If you are using Outlook, then you should use international format.

Example: +55 123456789

That should work fine for any situation.

Yes, to send a smsoip that has to be the format but trying to add the 52 results in having to memorize the number and write it again... :p

Little status update: I´m working on interception of incoming messages now.

Intercepting incoming SMS?

Quoting myself here, I can confirm that SMS sending remains free with their java app, might be worth looking into how they do it to add that feature to IPSMS ?

[gogol]

Ahh, good :) But still, it must be able to turn off this feature, especially when we are overseas because it will be more expensive to use data connection (IP) to send SMS rather than using the normal way.

That's music to my ears! catch the incoming messages and reply instantly through sms Over IP!

You are right. :)

Quoting myself here, I can confirm that SMS sending remains free with their java app, might be worth looking into how they do it to add that feature to IPSMS ?Another fine feature of this Java app is the possibility to check you currrent balance. I had a look to the network stream of this app. But it also uses a secure HTTPS connection. So there is now way to have a look, how this app communicate with the Voipbuster server.

Ahh, good :) But still, it must be able to turn off this feature, especially when we are overseas because it will be more expensive to use data connection (IP) to send SMS rather than using the normal way.
You can disable and enable all features of an upcoming version and the main configuration page.

[cloak]

Feature request:

CAB installer :) So, when it is installed, it will be accessible from the "Program" menu and registered with the default uninstaller.

Currently, I cant link it to the HTC Home Launcher tab because I copy it in the "Storage Card".

Use a cab creator. f.i. PPCic (see freewarePPC.com) Works fine. After you've installed your cab you can link it to the HTC Home Launcher!

[skandler]

Would you please check if there is a way to include a compatibility with nonoh.net ? It's REALLY cheap to use

As I know NONOH doesn´t offers a API. So I couldn´t integrate it.

Oh, I see, that NONOH IS a Voipbuster Reseller. :rolleyes: So you can use your NONOH account with IPSMS.

[lastnikita]

Oh, I see, that NONOH IS a Voipbuster Reseller. :rolleyes: So you can use your NONOH account with IPSMS.

mmmmh, just tried and it didn't work: username/password combination failed. I think that feature is not yet implemented, but maybe I'm missing something ?

BTW, what about an integration within PocketCM, did you and tene had a conversation about it ? :)

[skandler]

I think that feature is not yet implemented, but maybe I'm missing something ?
Right. You can use NONOH with the next release of IPSMS.

BTW, what about an integration within PocketCM, did you and tene had a conversation about it ? :)
I don´t think there will be a PocketCM integration.

[gogol]

Good :)

I believe that I dont like that idea to integrate IPSMS in PocketCM.

Why?

Because it will make PocketCM more heavier :) Now IPSMS, then what next? :)

Even I dont like integrating the SMS functionality in the PocketCM, but well, I should not complain because I cant code that thing anyway :D

Right. You can use NONOH with the next release of IPSMS.


I don´t think there will be a PocketCM integration.

[lastnikita]

Right. You can use NONOH with the next release of IPSMS.

Great, can't wait to try it !!

I don´t think there will be a PocketCM integration.

I guess I was expecting it, but I tought, who knows ? Too bad, maybe you could later add a threaded sms view in your app ? :D

I believe that I dont like that idea to integrate IPSMS in PocketCM.

Why?

Because it will make PocketCM more heavier :) Now IPSMS, then what next? :)

What do you mean by heavier ? It wouldn't make it slower to run, nor much bigger to store (ram or rom). And if you currently use both, you have no advantage in having separate apps.

[dr_Henio]

when add voipdiscount.com ?

[skandler]

You can use voipdiscount in the next version of IPSMS. I have to fix some minor bugs, before I can release it.

[risidoro]

Hi skandler,
first i want to express a BIG THANK YOU for this great program. I use smsbug to send lots of msgs every day and i really hate their java midlet.

I have a bug to report and two requests for you:

The bug: I can't modify the text i'm writing in the composing field. I explain: suppose i've written "Hi jenny how are you?" and then i want to use "jennifer" instead of "jenny": i can use the directional pad to move back the cursor to the word i want to change (or remove) but then, whatever the key i press (delete or any alphanumeric key), the cursor is sent back to the end of the text so i can only change/delete a single character a time. I.e. to completely remove the word "jenny" i have to: move the cursor back to the right of the 'y', press delete, the 'y' is removed but the cursor is brought back to the end of the message so i have to move it back again to the 'n', press delete, then move it back again to the second 'n' and press delete again... and so on.

It ONLY happens when you have the 'convert chars during input' option enabled in config.



- first request: pls add to the 'convert chars during input' option the following characters: à->a', è->e', ì->i', ò->o', ù->u'.

- second request: is it possible to make the program landscape-mode aware? I have a wizard so i mostly use your program in landscape mode ('cos i use my hardware keyboard to compose the msgs). Luckily the program is still usable in landscape but the UI gets a little more difficult to use. If an automatic portrait-landscape adjusting UI is too difficult to implement, you could make two different version of the program: landscape only and portrait only. I would obviously choose the former.

Thanks again for your great prog and keep up the good work!!! Bye

[skandler]

Thanks for reporting this bug.

I will fix this bug, and add the conversion (à->a', è->e', ì->i', ò->o', ù->u').

I can add a button to switch between landscape and portrait desgin. I have tried to detect the screen rotation automaticaly, but I can only query the current state of the screen, but not a screen flip initiated by the user.

Version 0.1.3 is out.

[GpsPasSion]

Thanks for the new version, is the consensus that voipdiscount is the cheapest deal ? Hard to beat 0.01 per SMS I guess !

[risidoro]

It's not true. It depens on where are you sending your SMS's. I, for example, need to send many msgs to a sweden cellphone (yeah, it's my girlfriend) and the best rate i've found so far that of SMSBUG, 0.03 x sms. Voipdiscount asks me 0.075!

So i suggest you all to always check the sms rates before choosing a provider!

FREE SMS to Sweden

[GpsPasSion]

wow not bad, I take it works with IPSMS, guess I should give it a try ;-)

UPDATE - huh...must be missing something, it says "free" in France but it says I don't have enough credits when I try to send an SMS from their PC App...

[skandler]

But you have to load credits on your account to use FREE SMS (10.- EUR minimum). And sparvoip.de can change their SMS rates daily.

[geezer78]

Hi skandler,

wow... big improvement with this new version~!!

i take it you're still working on the intercept part? i can imagine that it's pretty difficult to implement... also i would love to have my sent messages saved in the default sent messages folder.. do you see any way to make that happen?

i found a (small) bug though: when you try to send a message and you have no signal i.e. you're in flight mode, it quits with an error message, stating it can't generate an error message ;-)

other than that: briljant work! keep it coming!

Handling incoming SMS is not difficult. But saving sent SMS from IPSMS in the Outlook folder is only possible (I think) with the Mobile In The Hand API (http://inthehand.com/content/Mobile.aspx). But this tool costs 199$.

[GpsPasSion]

A bit of a pain to have to download the app of all the voipbuster resellers to get a username and find out about the payment, do they all have a €10 minimum like sparvoip ? I wanted to check out the minimum for voipdiscount but can't get signed up :-(

[skandler]

Yes. All Voipbuster Resellers have a minimum 10 EUR payment.

[geezer78]

i get a weird small icon, did you change the program's icon and size or am i doing something wrong?
it's a small yellow envelope, i like it as an icon, but would prefer a bigger size.
Gijs

[skandler]

If you have a good looking Icon (.ico file) you can send it to me and I will use it for IPSMS.

[skandler]

it's a small yellow envelope, i like it as an icon, but would prefer a bigger size.
I have changed the icon. It could be necessary to do a soft reset your device. It´s seems, that the device caches the old one.

The new icon will come tomorrow (monday) with a new release of IPSMS.

You can use all Voipbuster including VoipbusterPRO.

Type voipbusterpro.com as Provider Name in the provider configuration page.

[nispen]

Hey Skandler
Thanks for a nifty prog. In the previous version I could search for a name. For instance I would type "John" and the prog would find him. However now I can no longer do that. If I try to, the prog opens a list with names and jumps to the first one whose name starts with the letter I tapped.

So: I want to type J-O-H-N and when I enter the J the prog jumps to Jacob, then I enter O and the prog goes to Oscar (etc).

I preferred the old method.
Thanks
W

[skandler]

Thank you for the report.

I have fixed this. You can use your familar contact search method in the next release again.

[nispen]

Great. thanks again 4 the prog.

my friend has a spanish rom and spanish language selected, and now he cant send free sms weith voipbusterpro ,i have a "regular' rom english ,and can send with his settings and with mine... how is this possible.. he set the country good for holland so it has to work...can you help??

[mrky]

i have a mda pro and use it 99% of the time in landscape, can you make the app look nice in landscape, now it only looks nice in portrait....i like your app anyway, but it would be nice... thnx

Type voipbusterpro.com as Provider Name in the provider configuration page.

thnx for the answer, it works now ok!!

[michaelra]

Yay, I can now SMS using a VOIPBuster reseller on anywhere in my home with a Wi-Fi.. used to have to go to my computer (which sometimes are used by my friends) to send.. good job :)

[lastnikita]

Works great with nonoh....and cheap !!! I'll be donating as soon as I get my salary ! THANKS A LOT

[lastnikita]

Just had a very cool idea. Errr at least I guess it is so :)

Could you add the possibility to send sms using command line ?

Then, I wish I can convince tene to use ipSMS as an option to send messages, so that we can use PocketCM's nice interface !
ps: your interface is cool too ;)

The next release is detecting your screen oriantation automatically. So if you have a TyTN with a slide out keyboard, IPSMS switches between portrait and landscape mode. :)

I downloaded the version 1.4 and replaced the files of 1.3.

The manual way... is way too long hehe
Was thinking of a Add to fav. button when a contact is selected from the list, would be much easier than having to note down every contact's number we want to add, then rewrite them in favorites menu :)

[skandler]

Ok, I will integrate the following way to add a favorite:

1. Select normaly a contact
2. Double tap on favorite icon

DONE!

[lastnikita]

Just perfect, thx a lot, I hope you'll get many donations :)

[gogol]

Hi skandler,

That would be nice :)

Btw, can you make the "picture" configurable?

Not necessarily to use photo from contact, but using image from the same folder for the IPSMS.EXE will be enough.

For example (pseudo code) :

if (FileExists("photo1.jpg"))
{
display("photo1.jpg");
} else {
display(standard_image.jpg);
}

Of course for all 8 photos ... Then we can create the photos and put them in the .exe folder.

That would make nicer ! :)

That was my first plan. But I haven´t found any solution to load pictures in the .NET Compact Framework.

filename = " c:\picture.jpg "
PictureBox1.Image = Image.FromFile("test.jpg")

results:

'FromFile' is not a member of 'System.Drawing.Image'

? Just extract the files, and put them in a folder on your PocketPC. Double click the .exe file and there you go (make sure you are connected to the internet though - cable or WiFi)

I have done that but everytime I run IPSMS.exe i get an Unexpected error has occurred. Details are

Why?

[geezer78]

Hi skandler,

As i said in the past, it was already a really nice and nifty program, but it keeps getting better!

i do have a small question concerning startup speed: it seems to take a lot of time to startup (all versions till date). any idea how to speed things up? especially when you may want to implement catching incoming sms...

thanks a lot so far!

[skandler]

Startup speed is slow, caused by .NET Compact Framework.

A faster program start is impossible. Sorry.

[geezer78]

caused by .NET Compact Framework.
Ok, clear answer!

Sorry.
Don't be sorry! It's a great piece of software and i love it! i shouldn't close it anyways :cool:

[gogol]

Yes, the startup is slow, but not bad in my opinion, just 10 seconds in my HTC Kaiser :) Wonderful ...

Die Versionen 0.1.0 sowie 0.1.3 laufen nach wie vor problemlos. Ich habe auch mal testweise alle 3 Downloads verwendet (um auszuschliessen das da was anders ist), aber da war nichts.

Als Wunsch hätte ich noch gerne das ich ein Feld habe in dem ich den Absender angeben kann. SMS77 zB. erlaubt neben dem Defaultabsender das beliebige angeben eines Absenders (darf auch Text sein). Gerade das "muss" ich auf meinem 2. SMS77 Account nutzen.

Ansonsten: Nice Work :D

Du könntest mal die Registry Einrträge (HKLM/Programm\Software\IPSMS) vom IPSMS löschen und dann nochmal starten. Vielleicht hilft das.

[lastnikita]

A faster program start is impossible. Sorry.

Hi, what about launching it "silently" upon startup ?

Du könntest mal die Registry Einrträge (HKLM/Programm\Software\IPSMS) vom IPSMS löschen und dann nochmal starten. Vielleicht hilft das.

Would you mind translating this ? Sorry, but I have the same error with 1.6 :D

[skandler]

You can try to delete the settings saved by IPSMS in the registry (HKLM/Programm\Software\IPSMS).

[lastnikita]

I deleted the whole key but it still doesn't load. Exact same message as for h3adbang3r..

[skandler]

Ok, I can confirm this. On a fresh installation v0.1.6 crahses.

[lastnikita]

do I need to DL & install an older build before, or will you post an update soon ?
Both are ok to me :)

[skandler]

I have removed the download link.

Have go to bug hunting now...


edit: I have found the cause, but haven´t fixed it yet.

[jcm43]

Why?

The program crashes on startup with an error message like :"IPSMS.EXE NullReferenceException in IPSMS.Form1.Form1_Focus() in System.Windows.Forms.Control.OnGotFocus() ...."

[mongobongo6]

that's why skandler removed the download link

Es ist nicht möglich eine beliebige Handynummer als Absender zu nutzen. Wäre ja schlimm wenn das ginge. Dann könnte ich deinem Chef unter deiner Handynummer irgendwelche obszönen SMS schicken. Aber es ist möglich einen Text als Absender zu nutzen.

Dies Feature, um einen eigenen Text als Absender bei SMS77 zu nutzen, kann ich einfügen.



It´s not possible to use ANY number as caller ID. You can only use your own validated mobile phone number OR text, as caller ID.

But I can implement the requested feature for SMS77, to use a text as caller ID instead you´re real mobile phone number.

[lastnikita]

Works great, thanks.
The only thing: I can only add favorite with double tap on first fav. item, the others will just put the "manual" field back, and clear the number next to it.
Looking forward to a release wich can send SMS via cmd line now :)

[skandler]

The double tap feature is not fully integrated yet.

Hi Skandler,

I've installed your v.0.1.7 into my Xda Exec. I've copied all the upacked files to \Windows. Everytime I try to start it, it just drops the backlight level to the lowest value and nothing more. It simply doesn't start at all. Not even an error message is shown!

I'm using Jwrightmcps' 2.12.04 (his newest and superb release) ROM. For what I remember, the last IPSMS version which worked flawlessly in my device was your v.0.1.3.

Thanks in advance.
Cheers!

[geezer78]

Hi skandler,

I have a feature request:
i (mis)use the abbreviations to paste often used (parts of) sentences. It would be great to have the option of different abbreviations for each favorite. let me explain a bit with an example:
when i select "john" from favorites, i could have an abbreviation that inserts " Hi John," cause that's how i start almost every sms to john. also i could have a standar
closing for john such as "greetz, geezer78".
if i choose for example the favorite icon of my girlfriend, i would have completely different (parts of) sentence
, if you catch my drift ;-)

I hope it's clear what i mean, and that you can find a way to make it happen!

as always: thanks a lot for this super app!

Hello again, Sven

Ok, this backlight dim effect only occurs when IPSMS is run from "\Windows", although all unpacked files have been copied to that location as well. Somehow it seems not to find something there. So, I've copied the entire IPSMS_0_!_7 folder to "\Program Files" and ran IPSMS.exe from there. I have been able to provision my data, but I've got stuck again, due to two dectected bugs:

1. Differently from previous versions, v0,1,7 seems to have been tailored to QVGA devices only, because all visible informations are shrunk to the upper left corner of my VGA screen. This problem is not blocking, because, as stated before, though with a little bit of difficulty, I could provision my data;

2. However, as soon as I press "Send", the program crashes with the following error message:

IPSMS.exe
WebException
Não é possível exibir uma mensagem de erro porque não foi possível encontrar o conjunto de módulos (assembly) de recursos opcional
em System.Net.HttpWebRequest.finishGetResponse()

em System.Windows.Forms.Control._InternalWnProc()
em Microsoft.AGL.Forms.EVL.EnterMainLoop()
em System.Windows.Forms.Application.Run()
em IPSMS.Form1.Main()

As you can see, the message is issued in portuguese, although my ROM is WWE. Maybe it's because I have my Regional Settings as "Portuguese (Brasil) ". If you find it hard to read, please, let me know.

Thanks anyway.
Cheers!
Carlos

[skandler]

Have you filled out the provider settings correctly?

[skandler]

2. However, as soon as I press "Send", the program crashes with the following error message:

That is caused be the automatic screen desgin adjustment based of portrait or landscape display.

I see, there is a option needed to disable this for VGA device users.


edit: The problem isn´t caused by the automatic adjustments. I think a must develeop a seperate VGA version.


edit2: I have found the problem. I will upload a fixed version soon.

Hi Sven,

Your're getting there. Your v0.1.8 does work in VGA,, but the problem is that it only works in portrait mode. If I have IPSMS runnning in portrait, and I decide to flip my Exec's screen to landscape, IPSMS' screen is shrunk again. And if I return it to portrait, the screen keeps shrunk.

But then, again, when I press "Send", that same dreaded error message is issued again, and IPSMS crashes.

Bear in mind that your v0.1.2 works fine on my Exec, though.
Hope you have it sorted out soon. I like the favorite contacts pictures feature you have implemented very much.

Thanks anyway.

Version 0.2.0 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=328242)
Hello again, Sven

I've just given your V0.2.0 a try. The VGA screen in landscape mode seems to be the same one as shown in portrait mode, i.e. the bottom part now hides below the real screen, for what either a scroll bar at the right of the screen, or a complete redraw for landscape mode would do. I suppose a scroll bar here wouldn't be a big problem for you to implement.

However, I still can't send a single SMS message. IPSMS keeps crashing with that same web exception error message shown in a previous post of mine. For what I understand from that message, it seems to be searching for an error message to be shown onscreen in case the SMS can't be sent for whatever reason at the moment, but it is unable to find it, because an optional resources assembly module is missing.

By the way, answering a previous question of yours, I've tried both Voipbuster and Voibusterpro.

Another possible bug I have detected, but not related to the VGA version, I suppose, is when I'm setting my favorite contacts, and I tap on the picture to be searched, it is unable to search for pictures stored in subdirectories in the Storage Card.

Hope you get it fixed soon for my Uni.
Thanks.

Carlos

That´s right. As stated in "Known bugs", screen redesign is currently only available for QVGA device in IPSMS.

It seems, that you haven´t configured your provider settings corect.

Ok, check this out: I run your v.0.1.2 executable, and SMSs are correctly sent! I'm testing by sending SMSs to myself (now through Voipbusterpro). But from your v0.1.7 onwards, it simply crashes on my Exec!

Both versions seem to share their database, because I recall the first time I ran v0.1.7, it had already found most of v0.1.2's previous settings. I had just to have my second account settings done. So, I suppose my account settings are correct. Even if they weren't so, a simple onscreen error message, such as "impossible to login", or something like that, would do a good job, I suppose. So, it seems there's really a SW bug going on here!

By the way, in your v.0.1.2, the scroll bar at the right while in landscape mode is there! I'll stick to this version for the time being.

Hope such inputs might, somehow, help you with your next releases. :)

Thanks a lot for your prompt responses and hard work shown so far.
Cheers!

@casouzaj: Please use the following provider paramters

voibuster.com or voipbusterpro.com

I think you have entered www.voipbuster.com or http://www.voipbuster.com. That is the cause, why your program is crashing.

You're right! I had provided both just voipbuster [voipbusterpro] as my first attempt. As it had crashed, I had tried a more elaborate setting: sip.voipbuster.com [sip.voipbusterpro.com], but still to no avail. But I had thought that field was intended to be solely a provider name, wasn't it? I had understood it was not to be the provider's registrar address, for example. Your application would automaticaly fill it up (just the way it happens to voipbuster.com [voipbusterpro.com]) Why such a strict rule, then? Well, never mind: the crash problem is over!

Now, I recall an old request of mine, if you remember. My contacts phone numbers are all stored in national format. I though your new versions would have a field for a certain number o digits to be deleted prior to inserting the international leading 00 implemented (3, in my case). Well, perhaps in a future release. :D If it's not much botter, while such feature is not implemented, would it be possible for you to allow editing functions on the selected contact number? In all IPSMS versions I tried so far, as soon as I tap on that field, its contents are deleted, and I have to fill in the whole international number.:confused:

Thanks anyway.

You cannot edit the phone number of your contacts. The number field is used to send messages to numbers, that are not in your contact list. If you enter a number to the number field, it jumps to "manual number" mode.

[casouzaj]

Sure, but other users would not be forced to set any addtional data. You could provide an editable field (such as the country code one, for example) with a default value allready filled in (e.g. 1). We (me and other members who might need such feature, of course) would edit it according to our needs.

Yes, exacly. I know it jumps to "manual number". That's why I'm asking you to allow me to edit it, so that I could just delete a couple of digits there, instead of having to fill the whole international number up again. Pehaps we're not quite understanding each other's meanings . :) But this would be a simple intermediate solution, while you get that editable "digits to be deleted" field, as described above, implemented. Once it's ready, I suppose I would seldom make use of such manual number editing feature...

Thanks anyway.

Ok, now it's really v0.2.1. Thanks. I've noticed scroll bars implemented in all screens in landscape mode, except for the main screen. If the option "Show favorites' is ticked, the second line of favorites keeps hidden, but I have noticed that the abbreviations seem to have been correcly redrawn to the right of the screen, though.

So, I think you're almost there. I'll wait for you to implement the "nbr of digits to be deleted from the beginning" (or something like that) feature, or to allow editing of the international number of a selected contact.:D

Thanks a lot!

Timestamp of sent messages is the time of your device.

[risidoro]

Hi skandler,
i use smsbug and voipbuster's nonoh.net to message a lot so i really love your program.
To send sms from my pc in a faster way, i've also developed a small opera widget that currently only supports smsbug (i use the well documented smsbug API and a bit of ajax programming).
I'd like to add nonoh.net support to my widget but i haven't been able to find any documentation on the web.

Could you possibly tell me where i can find more info?

Thanks a lot!
Bye


EDIT: ok, maybe i've found the answer by myself: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1414281&postcount=1
basicly, i have to submit this url https://myaccount.voipbuster.com/clx/sendsms.php?username=xxxxxxxxxx​&password=xxxxxxxxxx&from=xxxxxxxxxx&to=xxxxxxxxxx&text=xxxxxxxxxx to send the message.

Skandler, can you pls confirm?

Is there a way to retrieve user credits? Thanks a lot!

[skandler]

Version 0.2.2 is out (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=328242)

Please note: SMS inbox is in early testing state. Feedbacks are welcome.


In 0.2.2 you cannot use the "Answer" button and selected SMS in the listview aren´t shown in the red textbox !! Only the newest received SMS is shown in the textbox.

There is no way to receive credits for Voipbuster. :( If have asked Betamax if they can add this to their API. But my request is still unanswered.

The crash is caused by a unvalid font size for the message input box.

You can edit/delete the following key:

HKLM/IPSMS/settings/smsfontsize (valid entrys 7 to 15)

[geezer78]

hi skandler,
i tried editing the register. the location was actually hklm software ipsms settings.
i removed the smsfont entry, restarted, didnt work.
then i removed the entire ipsms folder from registry and restarted. but it still shuts down with errors.

i'm using wm6 on an artemis with vanilla 2 rom by meschle
i now get the following error:

Then you haven´t deleted the key. Please ensure that you really delete the

HKLM/IPSMS/settings/smsfontsize

key or set it to a value between 7 and 15.

[mrky]

im having the same problem with 0.2.2 .wont work ,no mather if you delete the given registry-entry or change it..... maybe something else..! hope you'll find out! i waited for the incoming messages add-on and now i cant use it ! %&?@*!!! TiA

[geezer78]

Then you haven´t deleted the key. Please ensure that you really delete the

HKLM/IPSMS/settings/smsfontsize

key or set it to a value between 7 and 15.

As i mentioned, the key HKLM/IPSMS/settings/smsfontsize doesn't exist in my device. there was a HKLM/Software/IPSMS/settings/smsfontsize key but i removed that with total commander.

i also have tried completely removing the HKLM/Software/IPSMS folder in the registery. after that i get i message that i have to enter my country code, and than it quits on me again with the error message i added to my previous post.

i am absolutely sure i removed the key, and the folder as well.

after removal of the IPSMS folder in the registry it has initialised a new registry folder with IPSMS. there is no smsfontsize in the settings subfolder.

I tried manually adding the key smsfontsize with a string value of 8, (between 7 & 15) but that also doesn't help. it still doesn't start.

edit: After removal of the complete IPSMS folder in registry it works!

[birdibird]

I tried 0.2.2. and now 0.2.4 and got a strange problem:

It gives the errormessage NotSupportedException.
And when I say OK, it says NullReferenceException.

There is no entry of IPSMS in the registry at all.

I just unzipped the file and run the IPSMS.exe
I'm using a Vox with wm6.

[skandler]

I have tested the current IPSMS on several devices. I cannot confirm any crahses. Sorry.

[birdibird]

thanx for your reply :)
What do you think is then the problem? You talk about install, I didn't see a .cab install file, just the ipsms folder with the exe. Is that maybe the reason I don't have the registry entry?

[skandler]

There is no install needed. Just copy the IPSMS folder to your device.

IPSMS creates the registry keys during the startup. In your case IPSMS seems to crashes before that.

[geezer78]

edit: After removal of the complete IPSMS folder in registry it works!

Hmm... at the first incoming message it crashes after all...

soi'm afraid you've got to go bug hunting my friend :(

edit:

It crashes after the secondincoming message with the following error:

hope this helps in the hunt...
btw, it is really a lot slower than previous builds, could that be part of the problem as well?

good luck, Gijs

I have made some changes to speedup the program. The next release should be faster then 0.2.4.

Hi,
i have a sms-flatrate for sms to numbers of my provider.

Can you make a button, where i can switch how to send my sms? The regular way over my provider or over Internet?

[skandler]

This feature is already in IPSMS.

Choose "NETWORK" in provider dropdown. Then, the SMS is sent over your cellular network operator.

[mrky]

im using tytn II ,and it crashes on incoming message when im making a message or being otherwise busy with ipsms ! and its very slow startup and working with the application. only sending goes fast!and after sending the application freezes for a few seconds...

[ildo]

I, first of all, thanks, for me it works great. Just two wishs, be able to copy, past in the sms body and number; and the option to send to multiple numbers. Another ideia its the option to send sms at a difined hour. Thank's for all great job.

[skandler]

Please add the possibility to send long messages, splitted into some SMS

[skandler]

You can send long SMS with SMS77. Voipbuster und SMSBug allows only 160 chars.

[lastnikita]

You can send long SMS with SMS77. Voipbuster und SMSBug allows only 160 chars.
But you can make it so that your app splits SMS on its own with other provider right ?

[skandler]

Yes, that would be possible. But I don´t think that´s a good feature. The recipient gets many broken single messages.

[lastnikita]

Yes, that would be possible. But I don´t think that´s a good feature. The recipient gets many broken single messages.
Well, there's no other way to deliver a 160+ char. message... You just have to put a warning ?

[skandler]

I have integrated the hermled drivers (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1674570&postcount=50), to customize the LEDs of a TyTN (Hermes) on an incoming message.

Man, this is getting pretty awesome! :)

When will you release the next version? And do you have any comments on which bugs will be fixed? Please tell me that the inbox issue will be solved, and that the outbox will be saved after closing the app. That would be famous! And the crash on no data connection issue, maybe? ;)

I know I'm curious, sorry for that...:p

Edit: After skimming through the HermLED-Thread I just wonder if you could increase the interval in which the LED flashes, or even allow the user to set the interval by him/herself?

[skandler]

When will you release the next version?
I think in three weeks or so.

And do you have any comments on which bugs will be fixed? Please tell me that the inbox issue will be solved, and that the outbox will be saved after closing the app. That would be famous! And the crash on no data connection issue, maybe? ;)

All bugs except the "Firstname Lastname" are fixed. Messges aren´t saved when you exit the program.

Hi,
gibts eine Möglichkeit, daß man bestimmten Kontakten eine Versandart zuweist?

Also z.B. mit meiner Freundin möchte ich immer über meinen Provider mailen, da wir beide bei T-Mobile sind und ich eine SMS-Flat dafür habe.
Mein Kumpel hat O2 und dem will ich SMS immer über z.B. VoIPBuster senden.

Wäre eine nette Funktion!
