Hi there,
If you've all seen a standard Samsung phone, you'll have noticed that you can put a security code/PIN number on your items (Photos, messages etc..).
I was wondering if there was any application or feature out there that means I could impose one of these onto my WM6.1 Polaris? Everyone looks at my phone and every can read all my messages! When I go to look at their inferior phones... They have codes!
Any help is appreciated.
Bumped. Any ideas?
No-one? I'd really like to find an answer.
I remember a new program posted not long ago, that should do what you are looking for. It was posted in Development and Hacking and I think the name was just 'lock'. You then have to make all your links to your messages into links to this lock program, which will ask for a code and then redirect you to your messages. It will still be possible to launch tmail.exe in the Windows directory directly (but I don't think a lot of people will have any clue on how to do this anyway).

hope that helps

i just bought my tilt, just flashed to dutty v3 room and now i get a weird text every 4 mins. the number is 111145643 and it says wvi1 1.1 1111. is there anyway i can stop that text?
thanks!
Hmm I think you should call your carrier. Unless your phone is somehow sending itself a message, the kaiser probably isn't the culprit.
did you have express mail setup? if so you have to reinstall it on the phone then log onto the express mail server and delete the connection that you made for push e-mail or turn off push, then uninstall express mail on the phone and reset. you should be OK
^^I stand corrected!
I think that is for the IM+ program that ATT provides on their roms for im. The company is called wireless village i believe. I was bugged by it for a while, well the full hour I had my device before I flashed schaps!
I use Palringo until trillian gets a clue about wireless devices. It can sync with AIM, Yahoo, MSN, Gtalk, and others.
BTW, It uses data instead of sms to send messages like the IM+ does.
i had the same question but alltheway awnsered it for me already... its kind of a side effect of flashing sometimes. it will go away on its own. i think i got it like 8 times and havent had it since.

its not necessarily a side affect of flashing, it can go away if you reinstall the app that was on the old rom that is causing it... its something that was installed on your previous rom that used silent sms to alert the program to perform a specific function. LIke PTT, expressmail, or the cing/att IM client (to tired to remember the name)... When these programs are running your phone will recieve a ghost message that is only read by the app to wake it up. Alot of these problems were seen in the hermes thread and PTT.
Nope....That is what you get when someone tries to PTT you. Without PTT you get an SMS message. The way PTT works is basically Voice MMS messaging with a trigger to open & close the voice connection (PTT Button) Those digits you see are altered SMS addresses, they are altered so that PTT can recognize them & shift it from SMS to PTT.
Agin, whenever you kill PTT, you lose the ability to decipher the modified address & hence, it's received as a MMS instead. The reason you keep getting it is because the request that was sent retries a certain number of times before failing.
why dont you ask that question in the correct thread....the one that deals with your rom??

Well, that would make Dutty's never ending post even longer. We should save that post for other problems directly regarding the rom, and comments on new updates.
Beside, I believe the problem has nothing to do with Dutty's V3, it work flawlessly for me.
I am just so tired of more or less stupid questions that constantly are repeated because newies does not take their time and READ before starting threads and asking questions. This has to stay in the DUTTY thread - my opinion.
We shouldnt end up in a new HERMES forum with all the noise and bad mouth it had last year
I do not have anything against stupid questions in general - just do some searching and reading first..
So welcome all - lets use SEARCH some more..

Wow man take a breath! Your gonna get an ulcer.
to his defense i havn't seen this question in dutty's thread at all. and i've only seen it once but not onthe kairser forums. so cut him a lil slack. plus we all learn something from it...ptt or express mail can cause this. thats sure something i didnt know. hope all is well now...enjoy your device sir.
This question was answered on the hermes forum. That is how I solved my issue. I still believe it deals with the IM app from att that uses wireless village. Ill try to find some links to help get it solved.
I couldnt find the thread in the hermes section that described the issue. It might be from OZ messanger and not IM+. It is the version that comes preinstalled from the ATT rom. It is designed to use sms to im therefore making ATT more money.
I had the same text messages when I first got the Kaiser and ran the im software. I believe my test message had a different set of numbers at the end.
Here is a link to Wireless Village. They are a group that is promoting interoperability between handsets for a variety of functions (IM included).
http://www.openmobilealliance.org/tech/affiliates/wv/wvindex.html
EDIT:
I found this article from the cingular...er...ATT forums. This is the issue I originally had and the same text from the same number. The issue below is because OZ messenger was closed and not properly exited.

I spent all day yesterday figuring this out. I downloaded and install the .cab file to my storage card and then logged into the IM program (OZ). After signing out, it kept me logged into all 3 services (Yahoo, AIM, and MSN) and then I proceeded to receive 40+ text (SMS) messages b/c it was trying to "reach me". After sitting on the phone for about an hour and half with a great Data Service Tech Rep, we figured it out and now the IM program works just fine.

You know - Generally I don't get into these types of little spit / spat arguments - but today you have caught me at the perfect time.
Martinhdk - you are the type of person that makes dealing with the public so hard. You complain about things that aren't even worth complaining about. Sure - it was Dutty's ROM, but in essence had absolutely nothing to do with the ROM, it's probably the push to talk causing the issue. (Because I have the same issue) You had to try and prove yourself by spouting off and telling someone how to run things, when really, you were in the wrong.
Sometimes people get anxious and maybe don't do as much searching as they possibly should. Big DEAL - you are in a forum and since forums began it has been a problem. Does this require that you lay into the guy and tell him how stupid his question is? NO, it doesn't. You must be one very unhappy individual who probably lives a very lonely life - do us all a favor, in the future; keep your comments to yourself and let the moderators do their job.
I apologize to XDA - I know this thread / forum is not used for this. I just feel that sometimes these guys who insult someone younger / or maybe just not as experienced have a tendency to scare these guys away and I don't feel that is right.
i had the same exprience , its not the problem with your carrier , its the ATT IM+ app , if you exit the app w/o logging out of messenger app you keep getting this wierd msg , i tried unintsallng the app but no luck , finally i relashed a new rom and the error went away.
SOLUTION
What you do is you sign in to AIM at a desktop computer, the screenname you signed in on your phone. than a message will pop up saying you are signed in at two places and if you reply to that window with "1" it will sign you out at the other location, your phone. that should stop the messages.
the AIM service on your phone used txt msgs and when you close the program without first signing out. it usually causes that problem.
Stealth message?
I've heard of this so called "stealth" text message used by the carriers to send commands to the phone. My next question is - is it possible to send one of these so called "Stealth" messages from a phone to anther phone - with the proper instructions encoded in the text msg to automatically appear either on the users screen or in their inbox? I have heard this is possible but am very interested if someone could provide me a little more insight on it....
It's possible, it's been done. Would you like to know how? How do you want to send the malicious code? BT? WIFI? MMS? Maybe I can get you my bank account number & ssn while I'm at it?
There are other forums for that type of stuff, some proggies to do this are actually security auditing tools. Most all means though require the user to acknowledge receipt of whatever you send & then require them to execute it. However, I sincerely doubt that anyone here is going to give you any means to do something that may harm someone's device. Sure, you just want to play a prank, but how about the guy you then teach it to?
I know this may have been briefly covered before in Dutty's thread, but 300 pages are a bit more than I want to re-read. Also this issue is present in the official HTC 6.1 rom.
When I receive an MMS from someone, it will either start a conversation with their phone number (even though they are a contact), or it will take an existing conversation and convert the name back to the contact's phone number.
I thought I read there was a way to fix this by formatting the phone numbers a certain way in your contact list.
If someone could tell me how to fix this, it would be great. Also a program that changes the format of phone numbers in bulk would be great to, if that's really what I need to do.
Apologies if there is a thread like this somewhere.
I assume everyone going to the 6.1 update will have this issue. I would imagine a sticky would be quite useful for this, unless there isn't some other kind of 6.1 sticky on issues already.
-James
The ones in my addy book in this format +15555555555 show up with the name most of the time. Any other format they just show the number. It seems if i have no other messages from the sender, even formatted like above, they will just show the number. As of yet, I have found no easy way to fix it other than changing all my contacts.
As you have stated that there is a discussion about this in an existing thread you need to do into that thread and use the search function found next to "thread tools".
If you want to extract that info from the thread and either update the wiki or create a new "[SOLVED]" thread with it in the first post the whole community would be grateful.
Please don't create a new thread asking someone else to get the answer when you already know where it is.
Hello, everyone! I'm new to this great site, and would like to say thank you for so many inspiring posts.
I encountered a big problem --- perhaps it's been discussed before, but I cannot find the answer after trying to search the forum.
I've been a Symbian UIQ users for years. Just 3 weeks ago I purchased my first WM phone HTC Max4G.
For an elderly newby like me, I must confess that using WinMo 6.1 is a frustrating experience. I have lots of questions, but please allow me to bring up the biggest one:
I realized that in one contact only ONE mobile phone number is allowed....?! It's hard to believe! Many people have several mobile numbers (dont' you?) In UIQ you can add as many numbers as you want, and for all types of numbers.
Would you please tell me how to solve this problem?
Or, is there any program to replace the WM6.1 contacts?
(In UIQ3 there's a fantastic useful program called DreamConnect; worth every penny)
...I bought this new phone only for sake of the cool big 3.8" display. Now I feel desperate.
p.s. English is my 4th foreign language. Please don't mind my grammar.

first of all luck you ... A htc max4g ... i'm sitting drooling here.
as far as your problem goes i believe the reason for that is because you are saving contact to sim and when a contact is saved to sim card only one number is allowed. Now if you created the contact on device memory you will be able to have mutliple numbers, picture, email address, actual address, etc etc. of that one contact under a contact
Hope this helps out.
It just works a bit differnt in WM.
Just like in Outlook itself, you can add a HOME PHONE#, a BUSINESS PHONE#, a MOBILE PHONE#. This has to do with synchronization.
If you need more than 1 MOBILE PHONE#, simply add the contacts main mobile number under MOBILE and all others under OTHER NUMBER's - you still can pick them when writing SMS or when calling, they are just not labeled MOBILE ... that's it.
I hope that helps?
BTW:
If you have 'lots of questions' and you can't find the answers, please combine as many questions as possible in 1 single post - that helps keeping the forum clean and reduces the amount of threads.

This isn't all completely true.....
If i were to enter a number into work i couldn't choose to send a text message to it from the "contacts" page.
Thank you, thesire, junner & joel,
Indeed I save all my contacts on device memory, not on SIM card.
Yes, after synchronization from my UIQ3 phone to Outlook, all the HOME MOBILE numbers are lost... (cry). I have around 1800 contacts and I don't know what to do now.
Yes, these days I try to manually move some numbers from SE P1i to HTC Max. It is soooooo inconvenient not able to distinguish HOME MOBILE# from OFFICE MOBILE#. (scream)
I have to move some mobile# to other cells as you mentioned, but quantity of those cells is also limited, isn't it?
Some of my contacts have more than 10 mobile# since I include numbers of his, his wife, his driver and his secretaries altogether, for whom I don't want to create separate contacts. Symbian has no problem with this at all. Symbian also allows me to add comment after the telephone numbers.
WHY is Outlook & WinMo so idiotic???
I will post other questions later within this thread, in order to keep this forum clean. Thanks for any help!

You should ask Microsoft . For me the system is good enough, but maybe you are searching for an alternative to Outlook. There are several applications doing just this, maybe you will find a better one. I think the term for such applications is "PIM".

Yes, I guess that is what I need. Would you please give more clues about the PIM? I googled "PIM Windows Mobile 6", and got many... too many results. Please enlighten me on this. Thanks
you can use bluetooth to send contacts directly from p1i to max i believe, that would be better and faster solution

Thank you. I tried this... it doesn't help.
For example, I have one contact who has about ten numbers, among them 4 mobile phone #. After beaming to Max, only one mobile phone# remians. Obvious the idiotic WinMo contacts program decides that it doesn't need the other 3 mobile#.
D--n!!
Has anyone used Inesoft phone program?? Can it solve these problems?

Hey, I'm totally new here so please do instruct me if I have misread the forum information about where I should be posting this!
I've got an HTC HD2 running WM6.5 (so hopefully a responce would apply to many people with the same OS).
My question is, has an application been developped which can automatically send an SMS to a specific contact at a specific time, either one-time only or recurrently?
I have had a search over the forum and auto-responder apps exist, but I'm looking for one that will send a message at a predetermined time.
Thanks
CT Scheduler it's not free but does that and a lot more.
I have a girlfriend from S.America, and my main ongoing communication in our relationship has been WhatsApp. For Immigration purposes i now need proof of our relationship and it is 'vital' that i find a technical solution to extracting the conversation history from my wp7.8 device. The transfer to email option is very incomplete (only gives a few months of conversation). I have searched and can find solutions for Android and IOS but wp7.8 is locked down tight. The closest i could find is WhatsApp Xtract http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24603294
I would pay money if you know a solution in the Vancouver, Canada area where this could be done.. I'm not scared of rooting the old device and extracting the database myself, i just need a how to guide is all.
Thanks anyone who can point me in the right direction.. PS i love WP so far, however the nokia 'transfer my data' option via bluetooth was also a joke - only bringing half my sms over with most of them truncated.
Thanks again.:good:
