Does anybody know a way of creating a shortcut to messages and navigating directly to Text Messages. By default it takes you to the last account you were active in.

Do you want to start a new message, or just open the SMS inbox?
V
Start a new message.
Thanks
I've got an app. will post it later, hopefully tonight. Still at work.

This should work if you put the link in something like Pocket Plus.
Unfortunately as WM2003SE upwards you can't specify whether it is SMS or Inbox or MMS etc, so you will need to make sure the correct account is already selected before using the links.
To edit it, open Notepad and drag the file into the window, then change the name in the To section.

Guys, I've posted programs to quick dial and SMS from shortcuts

Tell me how it goes!

PS Anton.Valleyman - these work on the same idea, but have a nice message box on no command line!
Thanks Vijay, the cab responds with not a valid ce cab file. I am trying to install in on a XDAIIs with the latest Rom.
Thanks

Aye, though if you've got Pocket Plus you can create shortcuts to the .lnk and it does the same thing as your prog, but only with the inbuilt icons.
I've got about 15 of them as a separate tab of P+.

Ahh "-transport"....what a wonderfully logical name for it...
Bloody programmers, some give the rest of us a bad name!

pearler - I'm not sure if anyone else had a problem with the cabs, but I've linked directly the executables as well. You'll need a way to make shortcuts though - gsfinder is my weapon of choice.
Ant: yeah, "transport". Who'd a thunk it? [Programmers' joke :roll:]

I want to completely wipe my xda IIi and rebuild but am looking for a way to save all my sms messages as individual .txt files (so that i can archive them to my desktop). I have about 2000 sms messages.
I was wondering whether there was an application (preferably free) that would automatically do this for me?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Search the forum.
I had a look before posting but couldn't find anything. I'll have another look now

Thanks guys, found stuff in the end. i was searching with 'sms' not 'text' messages :-S
Will get downloading
Before flashing ROMs on my device (Tilt, Kaiser, etc.) I had apparently copied everything from the UAContents folders onto my PC. These folders contain a bunch of .dat files which to my understanding relate to the contents of the MMS messages I had deleted. In an attempt to retrieve these lost messages and pictures I copied files from the MMS Log and MMS UA folders back onto my device. But I get no results. Is it even possible to retrieve lost MMS messages with these files? Am I missing a step somewhere? someone please help. Thank you.
I'd hate to bump this, but I really need some help here
I have a use for this too, lost some MMS pictures today when I did a softreset before the MMS was looked at... but I see there is .DAT files for use in My Documents/UAContents\MMS UA can I open this with some app to get out the pictures?
Found out a way to workaround this today... I moved and renamed one of my .dat files to the templates folder, and renamed it exaktly to one of the templates name ex 1_0409.dat, then I made a new mms, chose the template and sent an MMS to myself.. .voila, the picture and topic was there!
How would I restore and migrate my SMS from iPhone to Android? I already got the SMS into CSV format in Missing Sync but I can't seem to find a way to get that CSV onto the Nexus One. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Here's what I got down so far. I can convert the sms.db in iPhone to CSV, but the CSV format isn't the standard Nokia, so when I use the Android csv2sms, it doesn't read it. Is there any more direct way?
I am building an CSV importer for Android. But I don't know how Missing Sync format is.
Could you please send me a sample file? (not your real content of cause, you can send me via my private box [email protected])
Thanks and Regards,
Bao
Update: please visit http a.baole.org /sms-migrator to see how migrate your sms from your old mobile to android phone. You can also download app from Android Market named "SMS Migrator"
That'd be awesome. Unfortunately, my SMS is a bit private and its quite large (20mb) so I cannot email it to you.
Code:
"Type","Date","Time","Number","First Name","Last Name","Company","Message","Device"
"Sent","3/19/08","4:59 PM","xxx-xxx-xxxx","Joe","Smith","","blah blah blah message here","So and So’s iPhone"
"Received","3/19/08","6:42 PM","xxx-xxx-xxxx","Jane","Doe","","whatever the message goes","So and So’s iPhone"
The xxx-xxx-xxxx is the phone number. Date and time is pretty obvious. Type is just send and received. Name is separated into first and last. I don't put any contacts by company, but I guess it exports it by that too. The message is the main part of the SMS. The device is the phone name defined in iTunes. I'm sure you're familiar with that if you have an iPod.
When you're done, I can test it for you if you'd like. I shot you an email too in case you don't visit here often.
I may extend my Nokia csv2sms if you wish, too.
Please send me a sample file of your exported sms if you have a special format. Thanks
I'm pleased to inform you of a new release of Csv2Sms !
This new version enables users to import their SMS messages from any format for FREE (0.00 $). (CSV, XML or even SQL !)
Check this out at shar.es/mb0OA
Goo'Luck !
Thats not even the original iPhone format but something else...
The original what you get out of "message" table from sms.db looks like this:
Code:
"ROWID","address","date","text","flags","replace","svc_center","group_id","association_id","height","UIFlags","version","subject","country","headers","recipients","read"
"1","NUMBER_IN_INTERNATIONAL_FORMAT","UNIX_TIME","TEXT_OF_THE_MESSAGE","2","0","","1","0","0","4","0","","COUNTRY_CODE","","","1"
The sent/received tag is contained in "flags" number 2 = received, 3 = sent
I've been struggling to get this working with your athg2sms script, but it doesn't still work...
I just wrote something that may help you, you need to install "SMS Backup & Restore" from the Android Market, though - then you can import the generated XML file.

I can't seem to get the website to read and convert my sms.db file correctly.
when I use the drop down box at CSV i get an xml file which can't be read by my android
when I try the DB the website fails.
Can anyone help me out here
I have extracted the SMS.DB file from my iphone and have SMSMigrator installed on my andriod; just need to convert from the db file to an xml
Thanks in advance

Hi gwoo_ca, please read the instructions on the page - there's a link to "SMS Backup & Restore", which can read the XML.
Yes, sorry that is the andriod program which I am using (not sms migrator)
I think the problem is the XML conversion website, doesn't seem to work when I choose db on the drop down menu.
Maybe I am just dumb but I just can't get it to work
Okay, give it a try now - i've reinstalled my server a couple of days ago, maybe there was something missing. Works for me now!
Awesome, that did the trick
Don't know what you did but it works great now so can't complain
Much appreciated
Hey guys , what if I wanna do vice versa ? Convert text from android to iphone ? any idea ?
Hello Xda,
Is there a way to send a pdf or doc file through an MMS message. I have some files I would like to send to someone.
Is there an app that can do that?
Yeah. Using a file explorer (I use Root Explorer), find the PDF you wanna send, longpress on it and a list of options comes up. Select Send (or Share, depending on explorer) and then select Messaging from the list.
Have you tried?
It did not attach the file
no another software can do like this?
Ah, I found one.
Tmail allows to attach files
