Great little application. How does the Manage Remotely work?

It would be nice to add an email option instead to text messaging.

Please post the source code soon...

re: The Mobile Secretary

Marc — Wed, 25 Oct 2006 13:55:33 GMT

Nice little program. Thanks!

Is there a way to add multiple text preset in the near future? That way one can make a few SMS texts and activate quickly.

Also I could be handy to be able to import the already available contact groups without to have to make new groups.

Stephen Skarlatos:

To turn on the "Manage Remotely" go to the advanced options and then choose "Manage Remotely". Enter in a small password or pin and then choose "OK". You'll get a list of the commands supported. There aren't too many yet and are largely there as examples of how you could do remote management (code coming soon).

You can list the Mobile Secretary groups that are on your phone and then enable or disable them by sending a text message to your phone.

for example, to list all the Mobile Secretary groups you would text:

LIST.<pin>

where <pin> is what you chose. your device will then reply back with the list of groups. Then you can enable a group by sending:

ENABLE.<group#>.1.<pin>

and disable a group by sending:

ENABLE.<group#>.0.<pin>

you can also send CURRAPPT.<pin> or NEXTAPPT.<pin> and the devices current or next appointment will be sent back.

Email would be great, but unfortunately, Email interception is not supported. Unless you meant being able to send an email rather than a text message, that is totally doable.

BCross — Thu, 26 Oct 2006 02:05:08 GMT

Yes, that's a great option. I'll put the ability to use SMS presets on my list of features.

Using/Importing categories is one feature I am planning to add soon as well... As well as the ability to export your settings.

Thanks! And i'm glad that you are enjoying the app!

re: The Mobile Secretary

Scott — Thu, 26 Oct 2006 19:19:06 GMT

Yes! Sending email instead of SMS would be awesome! In my case, I got tired of paying money to get SMS spam, so I disabled it completely. But being able to reply via email would be awesome since most of the people whom I'd be replying to are coworkers anyway..

Scott:

Sure, using email would be just as easy. I'll put that on the list. Thanks!

DavidM:

That should work today... When you ignore a call, it still registers as a missed call. The Mobile Secretary will see the missed call and will respond.

re: The Mobile Secretary

Sat, 28 Oct 2006 00:43:30 GMT

Awesome programming example. When will the source code be available?

Couple of things

(1) The SMS response text box doesn't format well when you slide out the keyboard on the 8125. It appears as one line.

(2) Having an option to display or not display the "will send in 15 seconds" window. I rather be given an option to have it do it automatically in the background without showing me on the screen.

(3) Rather than have a menu option to "Call Back or Send Now", why not have two buttons on the screen instead?

(4) The photo on the "will send in 15 seconds" window is not displayed correctly. It's distorted (wider than the actual photo).

(5) Any way to include a link to the Mobile Secretary in the Phone menu as the last option?

(6) Do you think we'll see this feature embedded into Crossbow?

I'm looking to post the source sometime this weekend.

1, 2, & 4, thanks, i'll look into that... great suggestions

3: I have one of the buttons "cancel send" so that if you JUST missed the call, you can avoid the auto message. This has been the most common option for me, because if i even see that screen, it means that i just missed the call. Maybe the Call back option is best to have on SK1. SK2 is a menu so that i can fit all 3 options

5: What do you mean by the "phone menu"?

6: There are no plans currently to put the Mobile Secretary into ROM. For now, it's a nice sample (hopefully) :)

Thanks for all of the suggestions and feedback! Source coming this weekend

re: The Mobile Secretary

Thu, 02 Nov 2006 01:59:28 GMT

BCross,

For Item #3: I should have mentioned the buttons I was referring to are actually on the screen, rather than the two soft key buttons. some times I find it easlier to press large on-screen buttons rather than the soft keys.

For Item #5: If you press the Green "Dial Phone Button" on your 8125, and then the "Menu soft key, it would be nice to see Mobile Secretary appear on that context menu, maybe below Options or Smart Dialing Options (if you have an 8125)

New Item #1: It also took me a long time to understand why there is this large gap above the Group Name drop down list box. I made a guess that is where you put theee Group Icon if you manually assign one. Have you consider having the icon right justified and locked at a resolution of 25x25 and then to the right having the Group Name drop down box. This would let you use the screen more efficiently either in landscape or portriate mode on an 8125.

New Item #2: And here's one more feature enhancements (maybe this one will is beyond the limits of Windows Mobile 5), but it would be nice to see some sort of indication in the "Call History" applet of which callers an SMS message was sent. This could be done by using a new icon (similar to your phone handset with the exclimation mark along with a picture of an envelope). This is probably asking a lot, but it would be nice to see your app conform to the Tone, Look and Feel of Windows Mobile...

New Item #3: How about a Read Receipt option just for the SMS message sent through Mobile Secretary. That would be a great option.

New Item #4: How about a "Character Count" indication as youre typing in your Send Message, so you can try and keep it below the carriers limit for a single message. Should it be capped at the carriers limit so it's not sending multiple messages?

Looking forward to seeing the source as it would be a great experience to understanding on how to interface with Windows Mobile.

#3: Gotchya... i'll think about that one... i totally see where you are coming from... the app actually works on both pocket pc and smartphone, so maybe if i only put the buttons there if i know i'm running on a pocket pc. thanks!

#5:

I'm not sure if i can do that, but i'll see if that is possible... i've just never tried that.

New #1: Yes... something that i want to change and will. It is quite a nice waste of space, eh? :)

New #2: Another thing that i'm not sure if we can do or not, but i will look into it... I had always thought of adding a log that would provide this from within the app... that way you could see what was sent to who and when.

New #3: Sure, that can be an option, but it could be confusing to the user if they are getting read receipts... i guess if that's the only time they requested them it may not be too bad. that's a simple thing to add.

New #4: Windows Mobile will split the SMS into multiple messages, but having a character count would still be nice so that you can limit the number of SMSs sent...

Tons of great suggestions... thanks! looks like i'll have some fun with all of the suggestions.

Sat, 04 Nov 2006 00:37:33 GMT

BCross,

I've got many more suggestions for enhancing Mobile Secretary. Let me know if you'd like to hear them all to see which ones can be incorporated into your program. Here are my two that would make your Mobile Secretary stand out, in addition to provide developers with examples of how to create Today Plugins and mess with Bluetooth audio.

New Item #5: One of the things that would be nice (atleast for the 8125/8525) would be to have an item for the Today screen that would show how many SMS messages have been sent. Of course this number would reset when the "missed called" flag in the title bar is cleared.

New Item #6: In this scenario I'm using a Bluetooth headset. A call comes in, and either I ignore it explictly or just let it ring until it goes to voicemail. Mobile Secretary sent an SMS messages as configured. What would be nice is to have a an audio file play over the bluetooth headset that says "SMS Sent Successfully".

I tried to install the app on imate JAMin - it did not come up - it seems to require a newer version of .NET than what is there on the phone.

Will it not work with a previous version of .NET?

Thanks.

re: The Mobile Secretary

KirklandRocks! — Mon, 04 Dec 2006 23:56:03 GMT

This program is great! Just what I was looking for. Keep up the great work over there in Redmond.

Would it be possible to add auto-reply to SMS too? If you can't hear your ringer, I'm guessing you won't be able to hear the SMS notification either.

Also if we could somehow integrate the contacts name into the response that would be awesome. e.g.:

If I entered "Hello %n, I am unable to answer the phone right now, I will call you back when I am available." in the send message box.

Then I miss a call from my friend Bob, he would receive an SMS that said: "Hello Bob, I am unable to answer the phone right now, I will call you back when I am available."

What happens when someone calls you from a landline phone? I get errors. Is anyone else experiencing this? Great start to a very needed program!

re: The Mobile Secretary

BCross — Tue, 19 Dec 2006 08:39:35 GMT

If someone calls you from a landline and they are in your contacts, then the Mobile Secretary will send the text message to their mobile phone (provided there is one in their contact card).

If the number is from an unknown caller, it will blindly send the sms to the number since it doesn't know what type it is. If you are sensitive to SMS charges, you may want to disable that (hardcoded right now, but sounds like i need to make that an option when i get to it).

If you create a group with a blank name, the app crashes and will not restart.

New Feature:

1) What about an automated text/email reply to any recieved text from the group, not just missed calls.

2) How about scheduled outgoing texts/emails using the calendar?

3) Automated texts to attendees on change of appointment.

4) What about answering and playing a group MP3/WAV file and using the record funtion. (Answermachine!)

5) What about text response with attachment.

(piture)

6) What about group call divert?

7) What about SOS/panic mode. Call predetermined number and play MP3/Wav. Also useful for sending predetermined voice messages on a schedule.

Neil — Thu, 04 Jan 2007 16:04:41 GMT

Hi Brian,

Can't believe I only just found out about this. It's excellent - excellent in terms of quality / usefulness. And also excellent that you kindly posted the source (which I've yet to check out, but v keen to see). It may be premature of me, but I'd encourage others to look at it too, since - provided they're computer literate - it'll allow them to see how difficult/easy it is to add features being discussed and to understand the program better.

I give my backing 100% to the ability to send e-mails, but completely understand you've prob got a mountain of other things to do! My second feature I'd like (really as an illustration on how to code for this) would be taking different actions based on network connectivity (i.e. if I'm plugged in via USB, on Wifi, or only having GPRS (which I normally disable as it costs me a bomb on my current plan!) It would be useful code and a handy feature: if I'm out and about, I'd probably txt (v cheap) whereas if on Wifi at home or USB at work, I'd email.

Anyway, keep up the good work - this helped convince two non-techy mates of mine how handy WM5 phones can be!

Cheers,

Neil

I'm using this app on an HTC TyTN and find that a txt is sometimes sent and other times not. Also, when *82 is used in a contact's number to allow them to see my caller ID, their number is preceded with 1555082 resulting in an invalid mobile number when a txt is sent.

Hi Brian,

Is it possible to embed a mini answering machine?

1. Answer the call

2. Turn the microphone off so that the external noise does not get in.

3. Play a pre-configured audio file - this could be a prompt that the user will record.

4. Record 15 seconds of audio from the caller.

5. Hangup the call.

6. Show a list of callers and play the respective audio files when selected.

I think this will make it a lot more usable.

Thanks for the great app.

re: The Mobile Secretary

jmanley — Fri, 06 Jul 2007 21:13:24 GMT

I think the problem with the repeated calls is that when the counter gets to 0, it doesn't disable the timer. Then the timer clicks every second and sends the message over and over and over and over (you get the point) until the quit() is processed. (this is only helpful if you've downloaded the source).

I was able to fix that problem in the source, but the problem I'm having is an enoding issue. I have a Moto Q with Windows Mobile 5.0 and when I use the Microsoft.WindowsMobile.PocketOutlook.SMSMessage and try to send "Test Message" I get "@T@e@s@t"... after a lot of this and that I tried accessing the sms.dll directly and marshalling the data to and fro I was able to switch between Unicode and BigEndianUnicode which gave me the ability to turn it into "T@e@s@t@" (switch the @ symbol). I could use UTF-8 but then I have to double the .length of the byte array from the encoder (System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetByte(message).Length * 2). This had the nice effect of giving me "eTtsM ".

Obviously the problem I'm having is a code page problem, but for the life of me I can't find the solution. My Motorola Q is running on the Sprint network. Any help?

re: The Mobile Secretary

jmanley — Sat, 07 Jul 2007 04:22:23 GMT

I've fixed the problem... and it has to do with the MOL2 update... the fix is to not use the PocketOutlook functions to send an SMS. You must use sms.dll and use System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(message) but when you create space, create double space and when you call SmsSendMessage() tell it that you're sending twice what you're sending...

Also, before you do anything with the string make it an even length and flip every 2 bytes (turn Text Message into eTtxM seaseg).

Hope this either helps for a fix from Microsoft or helps everybody who's having trouble with the MOL2 update from Motorola

The Mobile secreatary tool you've provided is quite powerful. One question on the functionality: It appears that the whole application launches every time an SMS is received...

In case I send 2 or more SMS in quick succession, the application is going to miss those messages since Windows mobile does not let you launch more than one instance of the app.

Is this a genuine problem you think, any way to fix it (and not keep the app running all the time) ?

Is is possible to write the same application in Native code or has anyone tried implementing on the native based app. If yes can you share your experience about it?

I don't have voice mail. With my carrier the call hits voice mail before I can get the phone out of the holster.

I pay to check voice mail, and I not only have to stay connected to hear the entire message but I have to stay connected while I type in my PIN and listen to prompts.

If I had voice mail on my phone I would only be paying for the air-time while people leave the message, which is the absolute minimum possible.

So a voice-mail app on the phone would save money.

A voice-mail app on the phone should be able to allow me individual out-going messages to my incoming callers.

I picture the feature of selecting a contact from my list, and hitting a record button, saying something like "I'm in the arena now, I'll be in row 6, seat 12" and then tossing my phone in my pocket without worries.

I also would love groups so all known callers get a standard "Ted Jones is watching hockey tonight, leave a message" OGM, all friends get personalized OGMs if set, and all unknown callers get a different message like "Nobody here, leave a message, telemarketers suck."..

Can that be done within WM5 or is it a device specific challenge?

Help - Source doesn't open in VS 2008 because file solution is marked for no modification and thus it the upgrade wizard can't touch it. Naturally, I've removed VS2005 from my machine. Can someone post a modifiable or updated code base?

Thanks

I installed the application on my AT&T Tilt (WM6, HTC Kaiser derivative, I believe) and had problems similar to lou's - I missed three calls, and all three callers received tons of text messages.

I too have a Treo700wx and am getting the same issue with the device complaining about a registry key. Too bad, looks great. Hope there is a solution eventually.
