Are there any programs out there that you can set to delete messages that are older than a predefined date? I want to get rid all my old messages but would like to keep those that are newer than a few weeks/month.
If something like this doesn't exist, would someone care to enlighten me on how and where WM6 keeps the metadata regarding messages? Thanks.

interresting thing... I know you have options for phone calls (you can say to keep only last 7 days for example) but don't know for text messages...
the clean way to remove them programmatically is to use Microsoft.PocketOutlook I think. Altering manually metadata should gives you wired issues...
Anyway sound like a funny program to create, if no-one has already made this (or if no hidden options exists), I may do it.......but not before a week
Small Remark : you should post this in the general development thread, this request is not really specific to Raphael is it ?
Yea, perhaps I'll make a duplicate post over there as well. I was also thinking of making a program to do this, it would be a decent way of learning more about programming for WM. I'm just unsure how the datestamps are stored.

Hey Everyone,
I am looking to send a single sms to specific multiple contacts. I understand that the sms feature in WM6 allows you to autocomplete a contact by typing theyre name as you go, I am looking for however a CAB file or something that will allow me to do something like tick the people i want to send to?
I hope they're is something like this out for WM6, otherwise its a long time sending about 200 mobiles a new number ha ha.
I'm not a often poster, but long time viewer, and i know you all know your stuff and i'm thankful for anything you can tell me!

Don't know if you'd only be satisfied with ticking multiple names, but the auto-complete thing does allow you to type in more than one name. I assume you realized that? Alternatively you can just continually click on "add recipient" and select them all one-by-one, though that's a pain in the ass. I've found the autocomplete for multiple recipients to be pretty fast. Do you not find that to be the case?
I was chatting to a few people on palringo's MoDaCo group and one user suggested Jeyo Mobile Companion 2.0 Demo. It does exactly what i wanted to do on the phone but on windows XP!
I only really needed it as a one off but i would recommend it as a solutions especially if your going to use it reguarly
Thanks for your comments and suggestions though, your all good people!
Sean Saunders
you can try this software SMS Assistant from QimSoft
http://www.qimsoft.com/
After install, it will add one Menu item "Add Recipients" at the bottom of Menu
Click it then it allow you to multi select contact
yeah I use group sms as well you can find it in the development thread. didn't realize it was included in the 6.1 rom as well.

Don't worry mate there is an ultimate solution for GRoup SMS... Although i already answer this query in this forum before but anyway...
You definitely need a RJV SMS SCHEDULER OR SHUBAROO'S GROUP SMS 1.4.4 ...
just goto www.freewarepocketpc.net and search it there
cheers...
Notification when SMS [not mms] is sent...now gone [not request message delivery]
Had it before flashing to latest genuine Hong Kong rom...but now gone...not in notifications as a setting....any ideas please
Yes me too, I have flashed mine with a few different roms and I have never had it make a sound, I don't need it really but it is just peace of mind when it makes a sound that the SMS is send especially considering it is a phone running a Microsoft operating system... you never really know if everything works as you expect.
what do you need it for? if the SMS is not sent, you get an error message...
Believe me - for years I was used to getting those messages, but then i tried disabling them, a wow, so much better.
If you go to http://duttythroy.net/index.php
and download Diamond_Tweak_0.2_EN.cab
this has an option to turn sms sent notifications on ....
so people have been moaning for years about this error message, indeed it seems to have been one of the most hated parts of Windows mobile, and now that HTC finally get rid of it, people want it back.
Don't take this personally, but FFS!
**Bangs head against wall!**
I'm glad i'm getting out of technical support!
But yeah, if you want it back (for whatever reason) you can also use Schaps advanced config tool (Search, search and search again) to put it back.
Thanks
Thanks...much appreciated
hey
used the cab to turn back on my notifications - but dont seem to be able to get rid of the annoying sound that accompanies it. Its not listed in the sounds/notifications settings.
Im wondering of there s a simple reg hack to disable the noise.
cheers
Hello everyone. I've read the classic japanese threads by Ofiach, Larsuck, etc.
I've read multiple Japanese input threads for the last year or so and I cannot find a solution to my problem
Current issue is japanese text will not display on incoming mms/sms. My emails are fine, be it gmail, yahoo, etc.
Currently I'm using a Tilt Stock Rom, WM6, Arcsoft 5.0.17(I've tried different ones)
I've read the classic japanese threads by Ofiach, Larsuck, etc.
I've changed registry values...nothing. It once worked where my mms where coming in full blown japanese no problem...
If anyone can help me out, it would be a HUGE help
I don't mind attempting to reimburse anyone for their help
I have my region set to Japan
I have a picture of my email displaying things fine and
I'm displaying what I see when I attempt to open a Japanese mms. I attempt to open "Ms. Yoko" mms and I get gibberish. The improperly coded message.
I'm not sure if I'm leaving any necessary information out
If so, let me know please.
Two things I can think of:
First, get Schap's Advanced Config and make sure you have checked the option that says "Support Unicode Messages" or something like that. You want to allow unicode.
Second, are you in Japan, or abroad? If the latter, then you might be screwed. Your phone obviously understands and is able to decode Japanese, but the servers in between your phone and your email might not be set to decode it. If this is the case then there isn't much you can do I think.
Hey Larsuck, I really appreciate your response.
Schnaps Advance config is good tool...thanks but unfortunately no luck with it.
I am between ATT/Softbank but recently I've been in the US on ATT and having such problems.
I guess its the server. ATT's server doesn't seem to use unicode. I say this because I can sms/mms myself and 日本語 is clear. めっちゃさやく！
Does it have anything to do with the registry? Like the 'accept charset' ? I thought maybe that could play a part.

Sorry I couldn't help you out. If it is AT&T's servers then there is really nothing anyone can do I think. Though you might call them and ask.
As far as messing around in the registry... I wouldn't advise it. If you do go digging around, make sure you have a good backup program and use it frequently. I can't count how many times I have messed up a perfectly good setup by trying to tweak things I didn't fully understand.
I was curious if there was an alternative to the default text messaging software. The main reason I don't like it is that it is a little plain. So if you know of any it would be great if you could point me to it with a link or just give me a name. I have done some searching but could not find anything.
Thanks,

Hey, There is something that is similar, but a little bit nicer (has smileys, and stuff), but still a little plain looking. It's called Shogunmark? if i remember correctly :S
I really like Birdsoft's Extreme Text
This is not the actual company's website, it is down for some reason, but you can still download a trial from this site and even buy it from this site.
If you have pictures loaded for your contacts it shows them, and it also threads your sms and will even allow for hyperlinks to be clicked on. I only have WM6 and it works great for threading your conversations all without messing up your inbox or anything. All this program does is just reference your inbox and merely just groups your conversations by contact in nice looking app for you. You can install and uninstall without it messing up your messagin settings or losing any sms cuz its a stand alone program that just merely looks at your inbox and references it as I said before. Only downside is if someone sends a MMS, all you will see in the program is the message they sent with the pic/video. You woiuld then have to go into your actual message inbox to look at the pic/video.
try pocketcm
Extreme Text works well, looks good

I use Extreme Text also, and really like it. It looks nicer, and it types smoother - there is no lag in landscape mode from keypress to display, as there seems to be in the standard message app, in my experience. And it integrates fine with the standard message app - you can use them interchangeably.
Thanks for all of the posts and suggestions I will be sure to check them out. If anyone knows of anymore I can try out it would be great if you could post them.
Thanks,

Txt Msg software
You can also use iMov messenger....very convenient and simple
I like sms-Chat by Vito, But you have to have the most recent version, Version 1.10 has a bug and you can't see your text as you type in landscape... Version 1.15 should fix that bug..
Hey, do u guys have the anserws to theese questions?
1. I want to choose for how long the green lamp, which indicates "new message/sms", shall blink. Now the option is "grey" and it's set to 5minutes. But you can't change the time. What should I do to set the time?
2. I've tried all the pre-installed keyboards that comes with the phone. But I'm not really happy with it. One must, is that it should contain the charachters "åäö" (a swedish keyboard).
3. Can I set the vibrator to a personal setting? Like now, if I get a sms/message, my phone only vibrate once. Which is really hard to notice, when I got it in my pocket. So can I somehow make it vibrate more?
4. And how do I get my "sms-wordlist" to work?! Everytime I add a diffrent word in my "sms-wordlist" it disappear a time later. Which is really enoying. How do I fix it?
Thx for answering!

Regarding a keyboard with Swedish layout, try FingerKeyboard
I use it with Danish layout but you can also have it with eg. Swedish layout.
nobody else? Plz, I need thoose answers!
otherwise I'm thinking of buying a new phone, because the sms-function is at my greatest use..

There have been posts elsewhere on the Forum on all the issues you raise - for example http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=606212.
I'm pretty sure I've seen a thread very recently about changing the vibration settings - if I did a search, I'm sure I could find it in a couple of minutes. Someone's responded to your question about keyboards - and, on adding words to T9's dictionary, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=557320&highlight=T9+words+adding might help.
Usually, for most of the niggling issues, there is either a simple setting change (which may involve adding/changing registry keys) or CABs that can be downloaded and tried. Take a look - there's a wealth of material here waiting to be searched!
thx so much i've tried to search on xda, but I kinda failed ^^
I'll try the links and come back with some respons

Right now, I've fixed the led-lamp, t9-wordlist and fingerboard. But I've tried to search xda for how to do your own custom vibration when receiving sms, and I've just found one... (can't post url:s yet) here is the topic "Vibration pattern for Incoming Calls, SMS and EMail "
but the "program" is pritty old and the developer doesn't write how to uninstall it if something goes wrong. So can you try to find something else, that might be better?
Edit:
Then I've found the names "SMS POPUP" and "DGAlert" but none of them is available for install/dwl at xda...
