SMS Notifier released – a great application for PPC PE users

Finnish Aali Alikoski, Academic Developer Evangelist of Microsoft Finland, has just released a highly useful application, SMS Notifier, along with its source code.
The application offers some really nice and, up to now, to my knowledge, on the Pocket PC Phone Edition platform, unprecedenced functionality: it waits for unanswered incoming calls and, depending on the configuration settings, it either sends an SMS message to the caller (with configurable contents), possibly containing also the end time of current appointment (this is also configurable) or adds an item to the system-level Windows Mobile calendar (containing the caller info).
The latter functionality is nothing new – you can check the caller's identity and the call date/time in any low-end mobile phone. The former – that is, the SMS feedback –, however, is really long-awaited!
Downloading and Installation
You can download the application here. Transfer the CAB file to your PDA and execute it there.
If, after installing and upon starting SMS Notifier, you're presented this error message, make sure you download and install .NET CF 2.0 from Microsoft. Make sure you install it in the main memory. Also note that, as the application heavily relies on the new, connectivity/database-related libraries of .NET CF2, it's not very easy to port it to run under the earlier Compact Framework library. (For CAB lovers, you will only need c:\Program Files\ Microsoft.NET\SDK\CompactFramework\ v2.0\WindowsCE\wce500\armv4i\NETCFv2.wm.armv4i.cab ; you can also download it from here (to avoid having to download the 24 Mbyte-long MSI installer).
Configuration
On the main set-up screen, there're some checkboxes in AND relationship. The first one, Send SMS to unanswered callers, instructs the application to send an SMS to everybody that tries to call you but his or her calls remain unanswered. Using (not disabling) the second two checkboxes, however, you may make the application not send a SMS to anyone that calls you, just to the ones that call you during an active/busy appointment.
The checkbox/text input area at the bottom makes it possible to report the end of the current appointment so that he or she can know when you are reachable again.
The Calendar tab contains only one checbox, which instructs the application to enter all the incoming calls into Calendar.
Note that the configuration settings are not correctly saved/restored, as the author also points out.
Usage
To use the application, just start and configure it to your liking. Do not click the Quit button – then, it won't send your callers any SMS. Just let it run. You can, of course, suspend the PDA while you do so and also minimize the application. This also means you can safely start it from \Windows\Startup (just like the other highly recommended application, PMRecorder – please see this article on it if interested) – if it's running in the background, it'll safely catch all unanswered calls.
Other stuff
I also recommend the author's blog here. Don't be taken aback of some of the material's being in Finnish: there's nothing really interesting in them for non-Finns (the Finnish blog posts are only about local, Finnish meetings, conferences). Unfortunately, some of the other Finnish .NET bloggers (see the links in the lower left of the page) post exclusively in Finnish, even highly technical stuff that would be interesting for non-Finnish speakers too. (Feel free to ask me in my blog for a public translation for some of them if really interested.)

Profile Switching, Calendar and time based

Hey, I'm looking for a program that will switch between Profiles (Silent/Vibrate/Normal/+user defined ones) automatically based on defined times AND on my calendar entries (also differently depending on the calendar entry)
I used to have Photo Contacts PRO, which did all of the above (and more it also had an automatic SMS reply option, and the profile could have exceptions for certain numbers)
Photo Contacts PRO seems to have stopped working with 6.1 (Gonzo) so /shrug
So my questions are:
1. Is it possible to get Photo Contacts working on 6.1 or
2. Is there a program out there that does a similar job with Profiles? I don't really use the Photo Contacts part of Photo Contacts PRO, just the awesome profile part
Any hints/Tips etc welcome

and the answer is CTscheduler

It accesses my calendar for timing as well? I read through the description and couldn't find that bit.
Tried installing it on my VOX and when I select the program it just gives me the "busy" circle quick, then doesn't do anything else... (same as Photocontacts actually) is something missing/setup wrong? (WM 6.1)

You may want to try AutoFlight. It does have these features.

Ok Autoflight works, but I don't really feel like rewriting all my appointments for the autoprofiles bit to work. (photocontacts just accepts ANY entry in the calender and not specially prepared ones

SPB Phone Suite (Don't know if it works for Smart Phones as well)

SMS Import

Hi there!
I got some Problems with the new SMS-Chat Style...
I used Jeyo Mobile Companion to Backup my Smses for a long time. And there are approximately 2k SMSes in my Backup. When I import my Backup everything is doing fine. I can browse my SMSes on my device without any Problems, and I can see that there are all of them on my device. When i try to read some of them via Messaging(on the Phone) there is as mess.
- The messages are not in the correct order(time,date)
- a lot of messages are missing or just not displayed
When I access my device via PC& Software i can see that all of them are there, and there are correct time stamps.
I am not sure if this is a Problem caused by the Software(Jeyo Mobile Companion), or the new chat style. Perhaps anybody has an idea or could help me a bit further.

P.s
i am using the latest bepe rom in german
i got the xda orbit 2 from o2 (pola200)

I think you should use the PIMBackup. It can backup all in your PPC, including the SMS-Chat style. I am using HTC Cruise.

I think this "SMS Chat" function ist so confusing, that it could result in such problems you have.
Just disable the Chat Style and see if it helps. There are 2 programs that can do the job for you.
1st is "SMS Tweaker", which can only disable/enable SMS Chat.
2nd is "Advanced Configuration Tool". This can disable/enable SMS Chat and provides a lot of additional configuration options, such as Enable GPS Photo, File System Cache settings, etc.

Cerberus anti theft​
Cerberus is a complete anti-theft application, the best protection you can get to recover your misplaced, lost or stolen Android device. This is a free trial for one week, then you can buy a lifetime license for a small price (2.99€) from within the application: no monthly or yearly fees, just a one-time payment. License is associated to your Cerberus account, if you have multiple devices you can use all of them (up to 5) with the same account.
It has three ways to protect your device:
- Remote control through the website www.cerberusapp.com
- Remote control via text messages
- SIM Checker (for devices that have a SIM card): you will automatically receive alerts if someone uses your phone with an unauthorized SIM card
Remote control allows you to perform many operations on your device, like:
- Locate and track it
- Start a loud alarm, even if the device is set to silent mode
- Wipe the internal memory and the SD card
- Hide Cerberus from the app drawer
- Lock the device with a code
- Record audio from the microphone
- Get a list of last calls sent and received
- Get information about network and operator the device is connected to
- And much more!
Cerberus automatically enables GPS if it is off when you try to localize your device (only on Android < 2.3.3) and you can protect it from unauthorized uninstalling - more info in the app configuration.
The app works even if the device does not have an internet connection thanks to remote control by sms messages. Also, the SIM Checker feature allows you to know the new number to send texts to, if the SIM card is changed. Texts received and sent for Cerberus remote control will not start any notification and will not appear in the Messages application.
Cerberus does not drain the battery because there is no background service running: it will activate only if there is a remote control request and will stop afterwards.
More features for rooted devices: complete uninstall protection (a thief will be able to delete Cerberus only by flashing another ROM), GPS auto-enabling even on Android > 2.3.3. More info on the website in the Help section.
