I was wondering if anyone knew of any programs that would let me simply just send sms messages via the computer so i can type them using my keyboard?
I experimented with pocket controller, but its too bulky and slow and just emulates the screen, all i need is a simple sms message sender.
Check the Jeyo software:
Jeyo Mobile Companion
Jeyo Mobile Extender for Outlook

Seeing as you're on Vodafone you may want to check with them. They have created a little plugin for Outlook - in the UK anyway - that allows you to send SMS's from your PC and either have replies sent to your PC or phone. Its free - in the UK - until the end of the year and I presume will be standard SMS cost after that.
Its called Vodafone text centre which you should be able to find on www.vodafone.co.uk, sorry I don't have the link on me.
Pocket controller I use at the office and home, brilliant I think it is.
Quick google later, Linky
Will have to give it a try later
Sending SMS messages using computer
Try this program, Dr Neils SMS Utils, its free and you may donate to support Dr.Neils efforts.
You need to connect your PPC with Active Sync and the DNSMS utils will fetch all your sms inbox . You can use the same interface to send them too. Nice utility.
The only problem it will look for contacts in outlook. if your contacts are not synched with outlook then you would have to type the phone number as well.
if you have installation problems try downloading and installing the .Net Framework. from Microsoft website.
post your feedback to help others too.

yah you have to right click on the top tool bar and select sms for it to show.. something else i did as well to make it appear but forgot w
hat. i'm pretty sure its included in the readme which is there for a reason. :lol:
I think Jeyo is crap. The software is buggy, doesn't work for me and also doesn't receive SMS stored in subfolders. The developers know about this issue but haven't corrected it for months now. In my opinion, it's just a bad software.
so what would you recommend is better? also heres a firefox extension to send sms through google, i think it only works in the US and UK.
http://toolbar.google.com/firefox/extensions/sendtophone/
Jeyo mobile extender works fine for me with one exception:
it won't read the address book (fully patched Outlook xp)
Sends and receives OK if you manually type numbers in but once I hit the adress book or "to:" button, outlook becomes unuseable.
I think it is a security issue where mobile extender wishes to access the address book. Normallyy a window will appear and ask for permission, however with jeyo Mobile Extender this doesn't happen.
Buggy buggy, time to uninstall unless anyone has experienced similar and has a work around?

Waiting for my XDA2 I am using a girlfriend's Samsung p400. We will not discuss what it does not have ... but it has one neat feature:
The bundled software enables you to generate sms on your PC and sends it through the Mobile phone. Now this is great because
*You can use qwerty keys & not fiddly mobile ph keypad
*It is sent immediately
*Your no sent for replies
*Your recipients think you really smart at generating sms
*Internet sms sucks
Does this feature exist for the XDA2?
Please tell me it does and I will happily give the p400 back!

Microsoft Remote Display Control
Using Microsoft Remote Display Control, you can control a Pocket PC using a window on your desktop PC. You can see the Pocket PC's screen in a window on your desktop PC. And your keystrokes and mouse clicks on that window are sent to the Pocket PC. So you can do more than just sending SMS from your desktop PC.
Looking forward to try it
Thank you!
And there is an add-on for the outlook that O2 provides (it works great in Ireland but don't know in other countries) that you can send an SMS to anyone in your contacts. No need for mobile/XDA, nothing...ahh and it's free !
And here is a link, it's called "Desktop Text":
http://web.o2.ie/portal/business/enhanced_business_solutions/desktop_text/
If you have access to your pc do a search on google for "free sms" there are a bunch of sites that give free sms through the pc on the web.

Hmm nice language option there.... The screenshots look like they come from a hybrid SP Studio (free)/Jeyo Mobile Companion program.
SP Studio is Chinese but if you can find it in English its free and works well. The only problems are that you need to run a program on the xda 2 when you want to start using it so it connects and it doesnt support sms messages longer than 160 characters. The makers of SP Studio then went on to make "version 2" but renamed it to Jeyo Mobile Companion 1.0 available at www.jeyo.com. Its based on the same program but all of the limitations are gone and its properly translated. However its not free. Ive bought a copy myself and it works great, however steer clear of the Outlook version they make as its still very buggy for most users. Ive used a few sms managent programs and Jeyo is my favourite not only because of the send from pc feature you are looking for, but it can backup and restore all the sms messages on your phone cleanly and easily.

Hi,
I am a newbie to this site. I spend alot of my days at my computer and recieve many SMS's throughout the day. It is a bit awkward to have to write the SMS messages with my XDA sitting in its cradle. Is there some sort of cool app where I can write the SMS on my latptop and have the XDA sync and send automatically. I searched the net and found a program called SMS2MAIL but it does not really automate the process, anything else out there?
Thanks,
Danny

Try Jeyo Mobile Companion
As far as I know the closest thing to what you want is Jeyo Mobile Companion. Follow this link for a review: While I haven't tried it myself the initial comments look good.
Software Not Ready Yet
Hey,
Thanks for the suggestion and purchased and tried the software and it would not work on my laptopn and hung my XDA. It is still in Beta stage for sure and their support team has not resolved the issue. Saw other posts on their website from others experiencing the same problem.
In theory, if they could get it working, this is the application I am looking for, I'll keep you posted,
Danny
MTUX Remote, u could write sms from your laptop & send thru your XDA.
Summary: View& Control your PPC on your desktop.
View your Pocket PC from your desktop and Control it by using keyboard and mouse.
Hope this help.
MTUX Remote Works good
Thanks,
This App works like a charm, there is a delay between the device and the laptop but i can totally live with that.
Thanks for the suggestion,

Where can we get this MTUX Remote?
:?: How could we have the MTUX Software, i really need it, please help.
I tried the MTUX Remote, it is only for sending sms from desktop? Anybody know how to synchronize sms data (to keep & to save important message) from XDA II to desktop? Any software for this?
jeyo has a long way to go yet I believe.
-1.0.1 only sync for inbox no sync for sent, drafts etc.
-major problem with restoring the backup. it disabled sms functionality!
Could you explain more detail about "disabled sms functionality"? After restoring back up it disabled the sms function?
I mean that when accessing the Inbox you did not have the SMS option. You could not send or receive messages. If you go to Accounts there was no option for enabling the SMS.
Ok, tu finikas; i will try then. so the one things i should avoid is not to restrore the back up. Anyway, how do you handle this problem?
i had to rebuild i-mate as it was new!
Have you tried the Jeyo Mobile Extender for Outlook? is this the same product? I just download & try the Jeyo Mobile Companion, the problem is when the Active Sycn is disconnect the sms were gone too. How to copy or import the sms from the mobile/XDA to the pc?
Amazing program that JeyoMobileExtender.1.1
http://www.jeyo.com/products/JeyoMobileExtenderForOutlook.asp
For 15 USD a great tool.
See attached pictures.
nice program, allows sendfing SMS through outlook...
but i'm not sure it is worth 15 dollars...
I was looking for a "FREE" version :wink: but did not find anything on Internet
So I decided to buy it.
what the heck it's only 15 buck !!!
Jeyo Mobile Companion 1.1 is more better than JeyoMobileExtender.1.1
u can do everything by Jeyo Mobile Companion 1.1 , adding new SMS, import or export SMS, send SMS from PC, delete SMS .... 8)
it has same functions in Oxygen Phone Manager for nokia
try it .... u will love it :wink:
Jeyo Mobile Extender as the same function as the Jeyo Mobile Companion, but you can do all this in your Outlook
No need to open a separate program, you open Outlook and you do everything there (Read your Email, read your SMS, import, export, send.....)
Each time you send a SMS trought Jeyo a copy is sent to your XDA (unless of course you decide not to have a copy of your sent item, this is an option)
Mobile Companion let you see your contact in your phone, but hey you also can do this inside Outlook no ?
After trying both I prefere Mobile Extender.
See ya
Re: Reading, sending, viewing SMS from your Outlook with Jey

Automatic SMS export on your PDA
If you want to export all your Messages (SMS/MMS/Email) automatic to your Storage Card, then try this program: http://xpocketpc.fw.hu
Jeyo Mobile Extender is now up to version 2.0, and I use it and think it's great for backing up all my SMSes, but I don't think it is worth the price.
There's a problem in UK sending sms from outlook on the PC though...
The contact numbers show up wrong.
e.g. 07123 456789 (standard uk mobile number format)
would be +44 7123 456789 internationally
In Jeyo, this shows up as +7123456789 though
This is a big problem, because I've actually been billed for a couple of messages that have gone to a country with that code! In this case it would be code 71.
Let me know if anyone knows how to get this working.
Cheers
Bugfix.
I'm working on it...
Can any one advice me of either another PDA application or a means of transerring txts from my XDA Exec so i can retain them if have to Hard reset device?
Whilst I don't have an Exec so I can't try this out, I use Jeyo Mobile Commander to backup my SMSes and contacts - it works flawlessly with my device, and as it works through ActiveSync chances are it'll work with the Exec too... PM me for more info.

sorry, not sure i understand your question... do you want to backup your txt files? just copy them to a SD card ... or to the PC via activesync or via wlan (without AS). plenty of options available.
In the UK, txts is pretty much used as an everyday slang for 'text messages' (txts.. sending a text, etc) - sorry if we confused you

SMS transfer
Apologies, it is the sms and mms i want to be able to copy from XDA so i dont lose them when ROM upgrade or hard reset is completed.
Is Jeyo Mobile Commander compatible with the XDA EXEC? also there seems to be a new product Jeyo Pocket Companion, does that do the same?
Newbie so bear with me please.
Thanks for your help.

i know for a fact that jeyo (to backup sms's) is compatible with the exec, but i never tried it, don't know exactly which program you need..
anyway does anyone know of a solution to backup them that doesn't need the pc and syncing? sms export to a txt file or csv or anything would be even better.
The only program I've found which can backup your texts without using ActiveSync is a program called smsBackup - but it's quite buggy, and you still have to copy the file off yourself (it just saves the backup file in its Program Files folder, and doesn't ever prompt you to save it anywhere else) - it's free though, so I suppose you can 'work with it' considering the price point

the problem is that this program is not wm5 compatible.
Ah, rats.
To be honest, Jeyo Mobile Commander is WELL worth using ActiveSync for - it's a really, really useful program and doesn't require anything installed on your mobile device to work, so that's even better.

well, i'll see... if nothing else...
afaik, if you're just using the bog standard New -> Message method of sending texts on your phone, while it does store the messages on the phone in the Outlook hive along with MMSes and emails synced from Outlook, I don't believe you need Outlook on your PC to save and/or restore them, if you catch my drift...

sorry, how do you mean the part about using the new/message method. i just press reply many times after seeing the notification without going into the messaging application.
would be real cool if i don't need outlook for this. i'll definitely check this out. thanks once more.
Well I just use the XDA's regular messaging app for texting too, which I know stores text messages in a pooled area along with mesages synced in from Outlook and MMS messages.
But the Jeyo app just reads my SMSes directly from the phone (I can watch it as it populates the list realtime), and when I back up my messages it saves them directly to its own format file, and restores them directly back again. Outlook is never involved.
2 versions
I think there are 2 versions of Jeyo...
1. Is a standalong app
2. Is a build ontop of Outlook...
What've i've noticed is application 1, does not read sub folders, which i've found to be annoying, as i'm on the verge of a hard reset myself, and i have built up quite a collection of sms's now...
Wish there was an easy answer to this...
Maby SPB Backup is something to look into?
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/backup/?en
Not sure if it does sms/mms, but worth a try
I use Jeyo Mobile Commander to back up my txt msgs, I recently had to send my MDA Pro back to T-mobile so i used Jeyo to save my txt onto my computer and transfered them to my MDA III(BA) until i got my MDA Pro (Universal) back. It works a charm and backs up txt nicley, updates all the current txt on the computer every time you connect it to activesync, the only thing that i would have liked it to do would be to backup MMS which it doesn't have the option for as far as i can see, but apart from that you can backup your txt, contacts, call history and even send txt directly from your computer once its connected to you phone.
Yeah, I noted that it doesn't (can't? or won't?) back up MMS messages, possibly because of the non-standard way in which the XDAs create them (I noticed that the actual MMs composition software is third party, maybe that's got something to do with it...) Aside from that, I'm absolutely happy with the software. The ability to send text messages straight from my PC while my phone's docked is VERY cool
ok problem solved.. a friend of mine is writing a brilliant program that can export the sms's on the device without a pc. basically already working ok, just needs some polishing 8)
Tell him I'd love to beta test it for him, if he needs testers!
Hi!
Does anyone know of a (preferably free!) PC application that will allow the archival of SMS messages?
What I would like to do is to copy all of my messages from my X1 to my PC then delete all messages from my X1 and then just restore a subset of them back onto my X1.
Any help would be appreciated!
Regards,
Alan
Hi. You can do that with the little app called SMS Import. This app allows you to export your stored textmessages into a *.xml-file. This file you can save on your PC, you can edit it with notepad and so you can also delete some messages before you re-import the messages to your phone.
Cheers
Hi de Wolfe,
Thanks for the reply I tried that app (Version 1.0) and it just did not do anything.....

It works. You have to save the file to My Documents. For some reason it can't save to SD Card (On my phone). I have also created an XSL Stylesheet for this applicaiton which will sort out all inbox messages (SmsImport stores ALL folders) and convert them to a proprietary XML format I designed myself, which allows you to store MMS as well (You have to manually add links to pictures etc though) and a further Stylesheet which will transform the XML to XHTML when you open the XML file and offer filtering functions with RegExp (Through JavaScript). Perfect way to manage everything for me.

This service is kinda weird. When I first synced my phone to the myphone service, it backed up all my data to the site (contacts, sms, pics, videos, etc.). But now I don't know how to sync from the phone to the myphone. Any changes you made from the myphone service will also change in your device as well.
