Anyone get it to work? txtman sends messages but doesn't pick them up. I never could get the Q one to work, still can't in this either. This could be a deal breaker for me until one works for it.
Ugh. I'm having the same problem (as are we all w/ wm6 apparently) with txtman. was one of my most used apps on wm5 so def disappointed. hope ben harashima gets us an update soon (http://www.benhirashima.com/software/).
same here. im so disappointed!
SMS Threader
I use the Palm Messaging Beta 4 for threaded messages. The only differences from WM5 are that the fonts are smaller, and that for some reason my old inbox is still there. This is fine for me because I can now send MMS with the default app (cannot be done through the Palm program). All SMS's come in through the Palm app and MMS's come in through my text/multimedia inbox. Seems to work great for me!
yeah but the back button is useless in the palm sms threading program because it was intended for pcs with TOUCH screens. can someone map the back button to being the ok button for the pdas?

I got the same problem, when I click into a chat, I can't go back to the main window which can help me switch into inbox, sent box, draft & trash.
Anybody know how to go back to the main window in Palm thread sms Beta4?
with which button?
you must use task manager to close the program and then open it up again. PITA! i stopped using it, i downgraded to wm5 and am using text man now. couldn't be happier!
I haven't tried the Palm threaded messagaing again on my Dash yet since upgrading to the official WM6, but I did install it on my Vox. It works. I took screenshots of it on my Vox.

Is there a way to track how many minutes/messages/data I use in a month? I'm in Canada so data plans suck! Any recommendations?
Thanks.
i am fine with the builtin call timer. but for data, spb gprs monitor can't be a wrong choice.
In BatteryStatus you can allow it to keep track of your call times and data usage. Its on the today screen as a plugin as well which might be good for you to monitor!
SPB GPRS Monitor is a bit more sophisticated, but i rekon BatteryStatus would do the job (Great app that one).
SPB GPRS(3G aswell) Monitor works well for me (can even export to file)
Batterystatus EX
I recommend batterystatus, because it's simple and powerfull... and free.
You need to install also batterystatus extended version, because the main application only monitors battery memory and processor.
You can have several indicators on today screen, that can be customized via a xml file to show in one line the indicators you want in the order of your choice.
Also it has small footprint, and it's an all in one solution as might replace other indicators you are using.
+1 for Batterystatus
Great free app.
The calls are logged to an XML file, which you can copy off your device for offline backups...
Hudson mobile's phone dashboard
Hi
I use Hudson Mobile's phone dashboard.
Its very customisable to tell you your peek and cheaprate/free calls so if you have a contract with allowances and different tariffs it works with this.
Works with MMS and SMS counters and if you have a contract where MMS calls can use your SMS allowance, it allows for this too.
Also they are receptive to ideas - I requested a feature which they implemented in version 2.0 earlier this year.
Works with WM6 with one caviet - if you use a dialer which puts SMS and MMS in the same directory (some early cooked rooms did this) then you wont be able to differenciate the SMS and MMS count.
Personally I love this tool and it has saved me from going over my quota in a month.

You said it works with wm6? So this not the problem it doesn't work with my mobile.... I have a problem with the registration. I can't find the field to enter the owner name, but I can only find the field to enter code. Any solution please? i love this app
Any known fix to this annoying issue yet? If you type a message that's longer than 3 sms:es it automatically converts the message into a mms message. Normally I wouldn't care about a "small" issue like this, it's just that I have free sms and I pay for mms messages.
Google said this have been fixed in Froyo, and yes it seems they're absolutely right since the problem is gone on the Nexus one & most other phones running 2.2.
But nothing have changed on the Desire, the problem is still there... Sometimes I wonder if the Desire is running an eclair/froyo hybrid and that HTC have just manipulated the numbers in the "about" screen.
Sigh...
I can type upto 5 sms before it convert into mms.. stock Froyo here

Download Handcent.
I'm not saying you should switch to it completely (I wont, Stock SMS looks so much better) but you'll benefit from:
- Pattern/Pin lock for SMS messages (even for Stock SMS Program)
- For the rare occasions you're sending a long message, cut from stock SMS, paste into handcent and it shouldn't convert to MMS.

I know it's good and have lots of features, I've tried handcent before but I agree stock HTC SMS app looks so much better so I uninstalled it after a few days. But I might give your suggestion a try, thanks
handcent actually have a setting not to auto convert sms to mms...
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
its 5 here as well, it is meant to reduce expenses, because (here at least) if you set six messages it will cost more than one mms, hence the converting.
is it related to the sim card and the network preferences? maybe, but if it is than it should detect if you have free SMS and not convert.
either ways i think you should have an option to turn it on/off.
worth mentioning in android issues

I have an sms-flat --> mms more expensive. But all in all not a too bad idea if you pay for every single sms...
Hi, my company has just changed our phones from G1's to Omnia 7's. I had a handy app on the G1 that I used to forward my SMS's to my personal phone (save carrying both around with me out of office hours). Is there anything available to do this on the Windows mobile 7 omnia at all ? Many thanks
I know that with NoDo you can press and hold on the text you got and it will give you an option to forward it. I don't remember that being there in 7004.

It was there before NoDo... I know cause I dont have NoDo yet and the forward option is indeed there.
Problem is that the OP probably wants an automated process, instead of having to press all SMS's, and for that I don't think there is an application yet.
Hi guys, many thanks for your replies, as Avandor has suggested, I really need this to be an automated process as the phone will probably be at home, so I need it to push it automatically, if possble.
It's been nearly a year now... has any SMS auto-forwarding app popped up yet?
I'm contemplating getting a WP7 phone but need this feature.
Thanks

Mmm, this is all I find:
http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/apps/8427cf9a-070a-4453-8024-56d21d81933e
It just looks like an app that sends pre-written SMSes to specific numbers.

It's a security issue / consider Google voice instead

This is not possible in WIndows Phone 7.
Under Windows Mobile 6.5 you could write handlers to intercept text messages as they arrive and do various things, such as send it to an email address using an email account.
But, it would not immiately send. It would go to your outbox and only actually send when you synced.
It's kind of a security issue to allow any application to directly send SMS or make calls without any confirmation. I say kind of because any dev could have called a webservice or done an HTTP post to a site instead. But, imagine a malicious devloper making an app that text messages all of your contacts or random people without your knowledge or confirmation with each send. If they allowed the app you want, they would not be able to stop the malicious app.
You may want to consider Google Voice, since users can SMS the google voice number and it will forward to the numbers or email addresses that you wnat to recieve it on. Then you can reply from any device running a Google Voice app.
Firstly, I would like to pay respect to the developers who mapped the hardware button for the camera app. Respect to you all. Starting this thread hoping those same geniuses would be able to solve this problem. Android generally has this crazy notion that if i want to send a long sms, it will be cheaper for me to send an mms. I get like unlimited sms but i gotta pay for each mms i send so everytime i need to send a long sms, it costs me money. plus, if the recipient does not have mms configured, its money lost from my side and nothing recieved on theirs. so is there any way to stop the native messaging app from converting sms to mms after 3 sms length.
currently using Handcent sms for long sms but its a pain and it crashes often.

uhm.
why would a long sms convert to a mms?
I've never seen this happen.
Have no idea why this happens. if i use "MyPhoneExplorer" to compose sms on pc and send them, this problem doesn't occur. tonight, i decided to send a long sms directly from my phone and i saw that it converts to mms. so decided to google it and it appears Xplay isn't the only phone with this problem. a quick browse on google shows that loads of device owners are frustrated by this. check it out on your stock device as mine is stock also. just bootloader unlocked and rooted ;-)
Yea, mine does the same, bootloader locked, and does it un-rooted and rooted.
Very annoying. You'd think sony ericsson would have made this an option.
But i did have this issue with 2.1 on my motorola milestone.
mine just gives me a notification saying it will send 2 SMS, it even counts down hoow many characters i have left until it adds another SMS to it (only when below 20 character left)

Its after lyk 4 or 5 sms's it turns it into a mms, i can confirm every android phone i have had (hero, desire, desire hd and xplay) have all done this, i resorted to sending half an sms then writing the other half n sending that lol

I just tested mine to 5 sms. All it does it countdown how many characters I have left for each sms, and then adds another sms.
Converting into an mms sounds like a cheap trick to make more money by some carriers.
I am with Vodafone Uk and they don't use this trick yet it seems, although thanks for this post because now I will be keeping an eye out for this.
Still don't see it as much of a problem though. Just send one sms at a time?
Happens often here (when going into 4th txt), I just break messages down not to get stung with a MMS charge.
It can be annoying as when breaking the message down you can get a reply from the other side before they have read the full message, which can cause confusion.

Try expressing your feelings to your GF one message at a time...
Have you tried writing the whole message, copy/cutting half of it, sending half then quickly pasting and sending the rest? Or email/call the person lol? It might just be me but my texts are pretty small.

Well the solution is to go with a network provider that doesn't adopt this cheap tactic.
Alternatively, telephone them and threaten legal action with demand for all lost money sent on mms.
Changing an sms into an mms can not possibly be legal.

It's not something the network controls, its a Android thing.
I guess it make sense to people in the states and how most contracts work over there.
It is annoying though.

Ok just to make a few things clear. I noticed this problem on my Xplay which has a stock rom 2.3.2 and i got it sim-free. i have tried it with several different vendors, like vodafone UK, 3, O2 and international vendors in Pakistan as well. Also, i've tried composing a message with no sim in it and still have the same problem. So its a problem with the OS and not network related. Saw the same problem on a stock Galaxy S Sim-free.
So Devs, please find a solution to this if possible.

how can it be network providers?
I got my handset SIM free (generic UK rom) and have used a few networks. it does it on all of them. and reports of it being the same on other Android devices.
It is nothing to do with networks, it Android OS.
