iPhone SMS

hey not sure if you've guys have seen what apple have done with their iphone SMS, but i'm in love with that. does anyone know if theres an app that does something similar? i mean right now all my SMS's are just randomly organized by date, would love something where your given a 'instant messenger' kind of approach.

You're a senior member, you should know to search. There is a threaded sms cab here that works - I prefer to use the native Inbox application and will wait until 6.1 cooked which has threaded capabilities.

Does this work with the Vox (since it is for PPC)? Did anyone try it?

does anyone actually know if there is an app out there that does this?

I have used it with the Vox, it's not very stable and key presses do not match up properly, thus I don't use it.
There is no application that will do what you have posted in your screen shot. Wait until 6.1 is released out and perhaps it can be pulled out of the ROM and retro fitted.

ya thats what i'm hoping for. is the release date for 6.1 still april? or have they announced an earlier date?

There is an application and is called Extreme Text here is the link
"Extreme Text is the premier Threaded SMS Texting application. It allows you to view all of your Texts as separate conversations for each contact you SMS, much like an Instant Message Conversation. It also adds great features including emoticons, following links in the text, User Defined Text Support, Photo Contact Support, and more..."

ya thats what i'm looking for, but 15 bucks is a hefty price for a small app like that. I just read that WM6.1 will incoporate the iphone sms bubble 'chat' layout,just wondering when the release date for an official release is expected

The PPC guys have already began cooking 6.1 rom from a leaked Kaiser upgrade. We just have to wait for a smartphone upgrade and then we should be able to adapt it to the Vox

Group Texting

Hi Guys
probably a very common request but, has anyone seen an app that properly integrates into the WM address/contacts book and allows group texting?
I've tried some poor apps that are outside of the address book and (sadly) most of them don't work properly anyway :-(
Thanks in advance!

Don't know if you have tried this but Auto SMS Reply v 2.0 has a tool called Send MASS Sms that sends group of SMS to your contacts. It also has a host of other features like automatically sending SMS to your missed calls etc..
I use a TYTN 2, WM 6.1 ROM and auto SMS works fine for me..

thanks for that. Not heard of it so will download now and give it a try

lol - found it and had a look and whilst i think the "SMS Call blocker" auto-response could be very funny, its not really what I was after.
I really want something that integrates into the current address book system, thanks anyway though!

Group SMS can do wat you want. And it does a very good job if I may say so!
Only disadvantage might be that it's not intergrated into your address book, but for me that's no problem.

Thanks for that however, used that one and it didn't work very well for me at all! Problems ranged from not sending to all the group to some members of the group receiving the same message a few times.

That's to bad. I've used v1.4.5 on the HTC Trinity, TouchCruise and Kaiser. And it worked very good actually.
Hope you'll find the right app. for you..

try the app i hv developed and see whether it works for you.

SMS to multiple recipients in WM 6.1

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?

[Q] Move SMS from android to WP7

So is that possible? If yes, how?
Also contacts, they transfer with the sim card because I have saved all my contacts to my sim card?

I'm not sure its possible to do that, since there is not native way to back up and save your current WP7 text messages. I doubt there would be a way to transfer ones from anywhere.
However for contacts, since you have an Android phone you most likely have a Google account. Just sign in with your account on your WP7 device and it will all sync like magic.
Behold, the cloud.

WP7 doesn't have SMS backup? wow... Well, that sucks, I really don't want to lose all my messages, some of them are really important and bring back good memories...

Yeah nothing native that I know of. Doing a search around the interwebz i found this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103011

Thanks, but that isn't what I'm looking for... I dont even have a WP7 at the moment and if i Can't get my messages to the phone it's a major let down...

You must be really attached to those texts. You know all the naughty pics you can just send back to yourself.

No nothing like that XD there's just some messages that I really want to keep... Even though I usually don't read my old messages I just want to keep them as memories

Yes,
it's been a while, but the subject's still up-to-date.
Same thing here. I'd just like to move from Windows Mobile 6.5.
From Exchange 2010 it's possible to sync text messages between the phone and the server. But it appears that goes only for messages which arrive AFTER the sync setup. I haven't found a way to make the phone upload older texts to the server.
Also I don't think a new phone would download all past text messages from the server after pairing.
There's poll to make Microsoft implement a way: http://wpdev.uservoice.com/forums/110705-app-platform/suggestions/1901813-sms-backup?ref=title
That's the only thing preventing me to move to WP7. Most awesome would be if PIMbackup would provide a way. I've asked the programer via mail if he saw a way, but I haven't gotten any response.

If I had no other choice I would forward those SMS messages to my self some how either through email or someother method. Just an idea.

Basically a nice idea. Unfortunately sender numbers and timestamps would be lost :-(
With multiple hundred messages that's important data for me.
But thanks for the idea!

[Q] WM default SMS app, contact choose method

Hi,
I need a little help please.
I'm using a default WM sms app. When I want sent a sms message for example to John Silver, I must tap on "To:" button on address line, and choose him form contacts.
In the past, I had another ROM, I used also default WM sms app. When I want send a sms to John Silver, I could start typing his name, or any part of it, and WM sms app offer me contacts, which was relevant.
Please, does anyone know, how can I turn on this function in WM sms app? Or why it simply doesn't work.
Thank you.
