Is there a simple way to assign different rings for contact categories like private and office in the windows mobile phone edition because I am not sure that pocketzenphone is doing this feature ?
thanks by advance
I use ringtoneX from http://www.mtux.com and it has the feature you are after.

Hello All
This is my very first post on this forum and the HTC Touch Pro will be my first Windows Mobile device, so a complete freshie in every respect. If I ask a question that has been answered before, it is not because I have not read other posts but that I do not know what I am looking for!
Historically I have had S60 and UIQ3 phones. On those, I have always made use of Call (Advanced Call Manager, Magic Profiles, Phonepilot) and SMS (MUMSMS, GINA, MCleaner) management and filtering tools.
I use the same phone for both work and business so like the facility to block calls and SMS accordingly. I also use the filtering facilities to hide call and sms log details from prying eyes.
I have searched for a call & sms application for WM6 devices but have not found one that seems to do all I want. Therefore, could I please ask your advice on which are the best app(s) that can hide received and sent messages (all types) and can hide the incoming, outgoing and missed call log for filtered numbers/contacts?
Additionally (and it may be silly to ask, considering the forum in which it is being asked!), can you give me your views of the performance of WM devices when compared to S60 & UIQ3?
Thanks
Hello, sorry i cant help u... but... can u tell me which of the S60 tools can hide sms/calls? Thats a very very nice idea... hrhr...
Hello
On S60 v3 it's called Symbianon Private Call & SMS Guard
CallFirewall, MagiCall are 2 filtering tools i know from scratch... but there are also tools around for e.g. secretly moving special sms from your ex-girlfriend to a hidden / passwordprotected folder...
Hi
Thanks for the reply. Do CallFirewall & MagiCall actually remove incoming, outgoing and missed calls from the phones call history?
Thanks
Soon HTC Touch Pro owner
Hi harjm!
I'm exactly in the same position, totally new to WM devices, have been a Symbian follower since the Psion 5 days.
I was looking for the exact same stuff you're looking for and I found this one:
http://www.pocketx.net/products/photocontactspro_ppc/
and it seems like it is what we are after
Is this possible? I'm new to Windows Mobile and I can't find any way of sending the same SMS message to more than one contact. I've done a search on the forum but haven't been able to find a solution frrom those old threads.
Any new and easy solutions you guys know of? Thanks!
Anyone?
I have a new number with my new WinMo phone and need to let all of my contacts know, of which there are around 100.
I like the following, GroupSMS. There are others as well.
Thanks for that.
The problem with I'm having using that app is that I can't sync my HTC Touch HD with Outlook, it just says "Outlook has not been configured". So I have no way of copying the contact from my phone to Outlook and hence am unable to create any groups in Outlook to sync back to my phone.
Help?
Hmm, Ok, I don't use Outlook so don't know how to help with that. May want to bring up those issues within the GroupSMS thread itself, see if others can help.
In WM6.1 the standard messaging client allows for SMS to a lot of people. Simply press the TO: button to add additional people. The format goes like this on mine when auto inserted from the contact list:
Xda Developers <8085551211>; Thresher <8083332222>; etc
When I am typing out multipl contacts in SMS i simply type the name, then hit enter, I then type another name, choose it and go from there.
It sounds like that is what you were asking but you got a lot of varied results. Perhaps groupsms is easier to use or something but I do not know. You only need what wm6.1 has to do multiple sms sending.
Is your Outlook (not Express) in fact setup and operational from your desktop?
i just start a new sms
click [to] text
add a contact click [to]
add another and so forth
I can't understand how it's not an easy thing for MS to implement, if I have a group set up called 'work', in the To: box, I put 'work' and it text's to everyone in the work group? Surely that wouldn't have been hard to implement?
I'm coming from a symbian background and have ordered a G1 recently. Been looking in the market place for a privacy application to screen and filter incoming and outgoing calls and sms's to defined numbers. I can not find anything that meets my requirements so am prepared to fund the development of one. (there are several available for symbian).
I've posted a job on elance and have had a couple of replies saying this is not possible in Android - I am suprised to say the least and was wandering if anyone here thought otherwise
heres the description:
------------
Job Description:
To provide an application to filter incoming and outgoing calls and sms. Effectively enabling 'private' communications from the phone.
For pre-determined numbers all incoming calls and sms can be filtered. sms notification disabled and moved to secure area. Calls rejected as busy.
All traces of incoming or outgoing calls and sms that are related to the numbers in the list are hidden.
The app should have the same functionality as Best Private Conversation for Symbian :

Will also require trial version time limited.

Appreciate any feedback
regards
The android supports sending call directly to voicemail, uner the contact info of the person. Also there are apps that cam move sms to a blacklisted folder, a trash can of sorts, you don't get a notification of this I believe. Chompsms has this functionality.
Also this is posted in the wrong forum. Please post in the application and games forum, there is a request thread there. This is for android rom/build development only
move this thread
Apologies for posting in the wrong forum - maybe an admin can move this post for me...
Please ignore this thread
I have started a new thread in the correct forum
Thank you to all the developers on this site. It has answered already most of my queries that I had upon receiving my new HTC Diamond 2.
I am very happy with the device and using some of the tweaks and programs the phone is now nearly set up exactly how I want it.
However there is one feature that I think is missing. As standard the HTC D2 will allow a call to be rejected and a standard text message be sent. But this will be sent to all callers.
I do not want to spend money sending a sms to cold callers for example. Just wondering if it would be possible to create an application that could expand on the standard function.
Some ideas for the app would be:
Send sms only to contacts in the address book that are included in a catergory or multiple catergories.
Send a different sms depending on the catergory of the contact.
Set up profiles to define the reason for not answering call, eg in meeting, driving, sleeping etc
Of cause the above list is not exhaustive.
Would like peoples opinions on this function and whether some one would be able to create. I would of course offer to test the app. Sorry do not have the current skills to create the app.
In advance thanks for reading this message and for replies.
Hy there,
I hope I posted where I should and if I didn't please tell me the correct section where I should do this. Also, I am not a developer, I do not have root on my phone. I do not want solutions that require changing XML files or anything. I am just asking about an app that I could find in the Play Store, or, maybe, and apk to download (this being the second option)
I have a problem with the messaging app since I left my HTC One S for the Nexus 5X in June 2016 and I did not find an app to replace that, not even on my current Oneplus 5T.
So, I have a contact in my phonebook saved with multiple numbers - work / mobile / home etc. and she texts SMS from either of the numbers (doesn't really matter because they are included in the carrier plan as unlimited). But my messaging app is sorting those SMS as different entries by phone number, and not by contact. So if we start a conversation in a chat window based on the home number, the answer may end up in a different chat windows (she has a dual sim phone so it depends on the settings on which is right now, and because the SMSs are "free", she tends to not look at which carrier is using, because, why would you if they are all free?), but this actually disrupts the logical flow of the conversation.
I know that a such app exists because I used it on HTC One S in 2012 and I was able to send SMS to which number I wanted to select (home / mobile / work of the same contact from the phonebook) and I had all the conversation in only one place, but after I changed on Nexus 5X and now on OnePlus 5T I can not find this feature in the installed app messenger (Google's or Oneplus's), neither on Google searches or specialized websites. I have tested some of the SMS apps, looked for settings, but all of them seem to show the SMSs based on the phone number, and not based on the contact entries.
Can someone suggest an app that could do that? Maybe I didn't search good enough.
P.S. The MMS option to send grouped messages is not an option because this means I will send the same SMS to multiple numbers, but those numbers are of the same person so there is no need to do that ...
Thank you very much for Your answer.
