Is it possible to auto delete SMS?

Let's say that a friend of mine sends texts to someone that he wouldn't want my, (erm his) wife to find out about.
Is there an SMS manager that will auto delete all texts to and from a certain number at 5pm, for example, each day?
My friend will be very grateful for any ideas.

look for a firewall app it wont delete them but it will hide them.

Not exactly a common request, so probably not.
Should be easy enough to knock up an app to iterate through the messaging inbox and delete anything from number x. So if you know VB/C#/C++, or care to put in a few days learning, it should be an easy enough project.
Who knows, you could even profit from it, and we could see AffairCoverup Pro(TM) released in MS' new app store.

Yeeaaaah. ACP(TM) We have a title. I just need to learn to program...

cool app ! I was almost sure that was not possible to do that !

SMS Organizer - should work for you
Try SMS Organizer ( search for SMS Organizer by trailblaze in google play store)
It can auto delete sms when the sms sender matches some predefined number or string.
Basically you can set 'rules' where you mention that if the incoming/outgoing sms macthes certain conditions (say the sender is so and so,or the message text has a certain keyword), auto delete/move it to a custom folder.
Great app to organize and manage your sms inbox bye the way.

Threaded SMS View Time?

Hey, i have Windows Mobile 6.1 and for any SMS thats over a day old, it doesnt show the time, only the date. Is there any way I can see the details of the message or have it so it shows (day/month hours:minutes:seconds)?
Also, is there a programs that backs up the messages, but keeps the threaded conversations structure? Because Im using PIM Backup and when i restore my SMS from a backup, it groups the sent and then the received.
thanks in advance

hate to double post, but can anybody help me?

SMS Database
Hi
I can't advise on the day/date stamp of older SMS conversations. However, in terms of the "threaded" structure, this is only a method of displaying the SMS Messages sent and received. Both Threaded and Standard views of SMS messages sent and received use the same database. I think they're in pim.vol, but others may be able to elaborate on that point.
Either way, I think that if you can successfully back up and restore this database you should be able to display the restored messages in standard or threaded mode.
Cheers

thank you,
but i did successfully restore the database,
but when it is restored, the sent and received are grouped.
like this:
before the backup:
sent message 1
received message 1
sent message 2
received message 2
and then after restoring the backup:
sent message 1
sent message 2
received message 1
received message 2
theyre in the right order, just not like a conversation

try spb backup

searching for the same thing since I switched to 6.1 . and the only way I found was to disable the threadview with Advanced Config (or any other programm that can toogle this)..
I read something that other roms CAN have this feature that they display date and time.. but never seen that "live" :/

I too wonder why cant we have the completedetails about the time stamp on the SMS like any ordinary mobile phone has. many a times one definitely feels the need to know these details..
Regarding the backing up the SMS you can use ppcpimbkup by dotfred..It works just perfect...

PowerSMS is free and packs a few extra features... It's what I use personally.

you sure these restore sms (in threaded view) in the right order?

The Mobile Secretary

Hello,
I am currently using the Mobile Secretary as my program to auto-respond to missed calls. As viewed here:
http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/...secretary.aspx
As you can tell it is quite outdated and need something a few more features. (excluding international texts being the primary concern)
Can anyone recommend any applications?
Also I think it's worth mentioning I have a Samsung Ace i325 with windows mobile 6 standard.

OK, the source is available, so you're on. Be specific about what you'd like to have changed.

The most important feature I need is the ability to:
-exclude international callers. (and SMS if that feature is added)
-ability to automatically reply to SMS/text as well.
Some features that would be a bonus: (in order of importance)
-Ability to have 6 saved messages I can switch between
-Number of rings before the phone auto hangs up
-Max number of SMS that can be sent to one person
-Log of amount of SMS sent per session
-Log of phone numbers that SMS were sent
If I can get a program like this working on my current phone I will definitely pay for it.

When you say "exclude international callers", you mean don't automatically send back the SMS when you miss a call from an international caller? Why don't you just leave international callers out of the group?
As for automatically replying to SMS, how would you like the reply to be handled? Would you put a message in for each group, and SMS from people in that group would get that group's reply?

When you say "exclude international callers", you mean don't automatically send back the SMS when you miss a call from an international caller? Yes.
Why don't you just leave international callers out of the group?
I only really need the "Default" and "Unknown Caller" groups with both sending the same message. I don't plan on using the groups to send specific messages to certain people. I want to send the same SMS to all missed calls. Unless I am missing something but I don't see how to filter out all Int Calls?
As for automatically replying to SMS, how would you like the reply to be handled? Would you put a message in for each group, and SMS from people in that group would get that group's reply?
That would be a nice feature, but all since I am only using two groups with the same message, it probably isn't necessary. I just need it to auto-reply one SMS to all received SMS.

If all you're looking for is a quick little app to auto-SMS any missed calls (excluding international calls) with the same message, that'd be really quick to whip up.

As long as it doesn't attempt to send SMS to numbers that come up as "Blocked ID" (could cause errors) ...then even what your suggesting would be improvement.
That plus auto-SMS to all texts would be great.
I would also need a manual filter for a few numbers that I know don't want any SMS sent. (paycard numbers in particular)
(I currently use a "third group" on mobile secretary to "filter" out those auto-SMS, forgot to mention that earlier)
I definitely don't need an intricate program =)

Is there a SMS app like Handcent SMS for WM6.5?

I am seriously considering buying the HD2 when it comes out this month. I have the G1 and there is an android sms app called Handcent SMS.. I love this app, it lets you assign a different ringtone for every contact. I know all phones let you have a ringtone when a contact calls you, but this app lets you have a separate ringtone when a contact text you.
And this app lets you have a background picture in the sms window for each contact also.
Is there any type of app like this for WM6.5?

Moved as not software release.

bump.
anyone???

Nope, not really. Don't know why.

Any settings for audible reminder of SMS or email?

My wife is replacing her Samsung Highlight with a new MT4G, which we can all appreciate is a significant upgrade. One feature her Highlight did, was remind her that she had unread SMS text every 5 minutes or so. For her, phone in purse, car, whatever, it's rather helpful. Can I set something similar on her ny MT4G? The LED blinking isn't gonna cut it for her. And I don't want to tell her the Highlight can do something better than the MT4G! Thanks

Not sure about the built-in app, but Handcent SMS can do this and has some pretty nice other features as well.
ChompSMS also has the feature but that program's buggy. It causes the mms service to crash on my mt4g when I receive a picture mms and also causes the laucher to go all black on my wife's vibrant.

I'm confused how handcent would integrate with how MT4G handles messages...it seems like MT4G integrates SMS with facebook/twitter and your contacts. Would handcent mess with this???

It doesn't completely replace the built in messenger, texts are still accessible from the builtin app as well as from handcent. You just install handcent and then configure the builtin one to stop notifying on new messages. All the account links remain in place.

How about something for email? I don't SMS but I would like reminders about email received.
And calls missed, how about for that? I used to have reminders on a older non-smart phone and miss it.
I checked for other programs by those who did Handcent SMS, but nothing there. What can be recommended for (reliable and hopefully very configurable) reminders?
