limit sent sms items - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General

is there a tweak where in we can limit the number of sent sms messages saved?please help..thanks..

I would imagine it's a registry edit.
Have a look through it and maybe run a reg search for sms or the like.

I don't know if this is any use to you (or even if I'm barking up the right tree) but there's a reg entry hklm\pmail\Messagestore there are some values in there.
AGAIN.. I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for.. I'm not using my phone at the moment (haven't gotten around to buying a sim card yet).
Good luck.

sms ringtone

Is there a way to have different ringtone for different peoples sms messages?
BUMB would like to know also
and i cant make custom tones for my SMS
Same here
so far the only way I have done it is to rename the sound I want to one of the default sounds name (ex. Alert-High) and over write it in windows folder.
I thought there was a registry add to add custom sounds to the list but I cant find it.
This doesn't allow custom sounds for different people but it allows A custom sound for SMS/MMS
Try Qorefunctions
they make a program called InBox Tones that is supposed to do the trick.
I used in on my Fuze but it kept crashing or hanging, probably overwhelming the system resources. I'm optimistic it will do much better on the Tilt 2 but haven't gotten around to checking it out yet
Good luck!
try the Ringo Mobile
http://ringomo.com/windows.php
I use this program a lot of years and it is working perfectly (some time I have to delete the file /My Documents/ringo.log because increases very much!)
yeah i had this same problem. i ended up moving the sound file to windows/rings. it wont read them from "my ringtones"

Sending SMS and keeping it in the "Sent Items"

Hello,
I would like to ask if someone knows how to send SMS (prefare in Managed Code, C#) but I want it to keep a copy in the "Sent Items". Currently I did not find a way to do that.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks a lot for your efforts.
it's in your sms settings
Thanks for the reply,
In my SMS Settings?
Could you clarify please. I am using C# to send SMS by using SmsMessage and then send. There is no settings there that I have seen (in code) to keep a copy in sent items.
Thank you.

Correct. There isn't. As mentioned above it is in the SMS settings of Outlook on your device.
From the SMS inbox :- Menu -> Tools -> Options then click the 'Message' tab. The tickbox on "Keep copies of sent items in sent folder" defines whether or not the message is saved.
The only way to change this in C# is to change the registry key:
Code:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SaveSent
This is a DWORD value: 0 means No, 1 means Yes
In your code read the value and store it.
If it is not 1 set it to 1 and then send your message. Restore it back to what it was before. "Please keep this washroom tidy!"
Read/Write the value using the Registry or RegistryKey .NET CF objects.

What i think is that sandmik is asking the way to save sent messages if we send a message using our own code not by poutlook... is it right?
in that case i am also waiting for a reply
Thank you stephj, but that option does not work when you are sending via code.
mohitsapru got my point correctly. I want to send an SMS from my code and that sms is saved in the Sent Items.
Thanks.

Hi,
i'm using this wrapper for my Slide2Send application. it's made by daddy2k
C# pinvoke:
[DllImport("SMSStore.dll")]
private static extern bool createSMSinSentStore (string toNumber, string message, string displayName);
you have to first send an SMS using C# and then call createSMSinSentStore to save the message to the sent items folder.
hope this helps
Thank you, I will test that, I Believe this is one step closer to the end result
Thank you again
What exactly is displayName? in case of an SMS?
Also the C++ code needs some polishing. Some cases certain cleaning functions are not being called. Like MapiUninitialize at the end of the function call.

Help needed with SMS WinMo to Android general

Hello Guys,
I just got a HTC Desire and I really like this cell phone.
But I have a problem with my SMSes.
Before, I got a HTC Diamond and I had allot of text messages on it.
So, I found a sollution to backup my SMSes from my Diamond to my new Desire.
What I did: I downloaded SMS Exporter 0.5 and made a XML file. I opened this XML file with my Desire.
Everything worked, I got my SMSes back.
But some SMSes (from the same person/number) are separeted from eachother. Sometimes I got 3 different conversations, but they all are from the same number.
So, my question is: can I join them togheter and edit my inbox?
Besides that, I got problems if I push the send button, it doesn't response (in the conversation screen). The only thing what works is to set up a new sms in a different windows.
I only have this problem with contacts who are "backupped". So, with new contacts everything works.
I really want a sollution for this
Thanks in advance,
Frank

it sounds like the backup file is either not compatible or is corrupted.
i'd recommend deleting the sms from your desire and use a different program to backup your smses to your desire
This is very much possible, but the right apps do not exist at the moment.
I (actually my better half too) have successfully transfered my 11600 SMS messages (almost 3mb uncompressed) from several generations of WinMo phones (thanks to PIM Backup!) to my Desire using SMS Exporter v0.5 and SMS Backup & Restore. However, the XML file produced by SMS Exporter is not identical to the ones SMS Backup likes to "eat", so they require considerable editing (search and replace-mania) and some knowledge of what means what in the files.
Now, there are not many programs that can export SMS as .xml for WinMo (at least that I've found), but there are loads that can backup/restore XMLs for Android. Unfortunately none have the precise same XML setup as SMS Exporter so simply importing a SMS Exporter file will likely yield errors and issues.
I wish some code wiz would have a look at this and make a working solution, it should be pretty easy, even simply some kind of script could be run on a computer, to convert a SMS Exporter xml to something readable by one of the several capable Android apps.

Hi! Use sprite transfer. It's totally free and very efficient. I used it to transfer all PIM data and bookmarks from my HD2 to my Desire. Seems to work fine to transfer from Symbian, Blackberry and WinMo to Android. ;-)

Thanks for the tip about Sprite Backup, thought it cost money, but things must have changed since I last used it years and years ago. If it works, we're golden (too late for me though)
I'm sorry, it's not Sprite Transfer as I wrote, but Sprite Migrate. It's totally free and available there:
WorldWideWeb.spritesoftware.com/Products/Migrate/Migrate-Your-Data-Now/How-To-Transfer
Replace WorldWideWeb by " www "
May help others...

Be prepared for it to start hiccuping when you try to browse that many messages. I've probably sent and received about 6-7000 with one of my mates over the years (guessing 1,5-2mb worth of text), when I enter that thread from the message app the device needs to think for a few seconds Need something like "hide (not delete) older messages", but I haven't found a setting or app that can do that. Checked out Handcent SMS, it's faster browsing messages and hides older messages, only problem is, when clicking "show older", it only shows sent, not received. Sort of takes the point out of threaded SMS.

I used "SMS Migrator" (http://a.baole.org/home/sms-migrator)
Can I just ask why you want to keep all these messages? Surely all of them can't be that important! I get it if its a pretty girl, or a message that has some personal meaning, but surely you can't re read all of them!
Why don't you just create an website from the xml and bookmark the url? You could have a link for each contact then. In fact if someone wants to tell me what each xml category contains and its heading, ill knock u up something searchable in php.

txt (sms) messages not sorted properly?

Hey guys,
I've got an annoying problem with my touch pro 2. For some reason, text messages in the sent folder are not sorted properly. For example, if i choose to sort them by "from" option (which is supposed to sort messages by contacts' names), all messages get jumbled up and i see several texts from contact X, then a few texts from contact Y, then again a few messages from contact X, then Y, and so on.
I also noticed that when i search for a keyword in my sent folder by typing that word, it doesn't find all the matches, but it only finds some of them.
One more thing is that i tried this with the sent folder of a new touch pro (Fuze), and i got the same problems! So i guess its not a problem with my device....but anyhow i am using the latest official HTC rom.
I just wanted to mention once more that this is a problem with the sent folder only, inbox folder works flawlessly.
I really appreciate it if you guys can perform the same steps and see if you have similar issues...or if you might know or can think of a possible solution for this sorting problem, i appreciate it for sharing it with me
PS: I've posted a similar thread in the Fuze section as well (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728299).
has anybody tried sorting messages by "From" to see if it works?.....
Hmm, haven't tried it (not that easy on the new HTC messaging client), but in the Sent Items folder, the From field would be your own name... for all messages. It probably uses time/date as a second sorting criterion.

thx for replying but what do you mean by this?
basically all i wanna do is to create a backup file for messages of individual contacts....so i have to sort them somehow and put specific messages (from each contact) together in one folder...
so do you know of a prog that does this for me so that i dont have to do it manually?
thx alot dude
