Send a Silent SMS

[Zayoos]

Hi FJ.

I've tested this little option and... It dosn't work like it should be.
The recipients are receiving empty sms message.

[Zayoos]

Well... It worked with new phone, like K810i, but with older phones like Ericsson T65 or Sagem MYX-4 it dosn't work.

I tryed and it work very well from SE k750i to an other k750i...
I think you took the big icon and resized it, because there is aliasing... if you take the small picture (32x32, it has the good size) it will look smoother... it's a little detail


Last year I was interested in the PDU code, and I watched in the heading there are many options... but I don't know if you can send it via AT commands. For exemple you could make an option before sending a SMS, asking if we want the SMS were sent like a normal SMS, or if it must be directly printed in the phone's screen when received... it's just an idea, not essential

Last request: would it be possible you show the media which are in the EMS? (in the SMS in/outbox we can see the SMS's text but you ignored the media, it's just a small code?!) winks, smiles, etc... sounds, animations, ... just the default medias?

@ore: Its not possible to use 32bpp (Icons with alpha-channel) in the toolbar. Its a technical issue.

I can send throught AT-Commands all types of PDU except of Command-SMS. If you are interested in PDUs then the Tool "PDU-Spy" is strongly recommened for you. There is already a option to show messages directly if received. Its calld "Flash SMS" in MyPhoneExplorer.

Decoding EMS is much more complex then normal SMS. The next thing is that EMS are "pass away". Its not often used - the future is MMS.

@Zayoos: I changed some flags in the silent sms - can you try it once more with your old phones ? I updated the beta this moment

Yes. Now it works like a charm.
Thank You.

Hi,
it was really nice to have the feature of "silent SMS" incorporated in 1.6.5 of MPE.
Now I was wondering, if it was possible to get the Cell-ID of the person we are sending the "Silent PING" when we get the "Delivery Notification" (obviously in case the Mobile is on).

Thank u,
Adnan Iqbal

[FJ]

Sorry this is not possible. The service-center sends back only a status-report with the result of the delivery

[adnaniqbal]

Ok. if that is not possible, then what else can we get from the SMS Service Center? I mean in addition to Delivery Status, is there additional information about the number we are sending the "silent-ping" from the SMS Service Center? IMEI or IMSI or any other technical data.
As for the Cell-ID, can we get the cell-ID of any number from any other source(other than the SMS Service Center)

I have to stick in with a little suggestion.

Would be great if you could have a "sms delivery report"-history. Cause sometimes when you send a bouch of SMS messages at once, you often miss some reports poping up in the corner of your screen.


And when I'm at it...

When sending SMS messages through MPE they get a Sent Timestamp, but I guess it gets lost when MPE updates/syncs or restarts.
So maybe a fix to save the timestamp info? Cause it's a shame to just throw it away. I've got enough un-timestamped sent messages. ;- )

Hi
just wondering if it was possible to send the "Silent SMS/Ping" directly from the mobile (without connecting the set to MPE). I have a K750i

Thank u
Adnan

[FJ]

This is not possible

@ore: Its not possible to use 32bpp (Icons with alpha-channel) in the toolbar. Its a technical issue.

Then maybe it would look better if you use this one instead of tho one i posted before. I just replaced translucide pixel by the color it may have without tranparence. But I use windows XP, then the color I set is the windows' toolbar color, don't know what it would look in Vista...

Would be great if you could have a "sms delivery report"-history

I think too it would be great

[FJ]

Generally this is not a good solution cause there are many users with userdefined Toolbar-colors. I reduced the Mask of your last icon a littlebit. Its a compromise - we will see if users will send feedback that the icon doesnt match to their toolbar-color

Hi FJ,
I tested this beta version 1.6.5 with silent SMS and used it to send it to a friend of mine having SE PDA phone [Symbian UIQ] but he was able to detect the same as a empty SMS. I was using SE K850i and when I used it to send it to myself I didnt get any notification.
Is it that this service would work only with parties having SE proprietary OS
Thanks
William

[FJ]

Hmm - when you downloaded the beta ?

[Gast]

its MyPhoneExplorer_DebugUpdate.exe downloaded on 12.12.2007 05:10 PM asia pacific time. size = 1,248,666 bytes
Do I need to download some other version, let me know

[FJ]

Hmm - i tried now with my brand new P1i - this is a UIQ3-Phone. Can you try it again and can you tell me the phone-model of your friend ?

[Gast]

Hi FJ,
It was SE W950i
Thanks,
William
