SMS app comes with NX73V?

[ultraman]

I just received my nx73v/E today, euro version with bluetooth.

It comes with Decuma and Grafiti1, not 2

I also noticed this APP called SMS, which looks like a SMS app for mobiles.

I haven't found this reported on the message boards so I thought I'd share this with you guys.

I haven't found the phone drivers for my t610 yet, but will report more when i find out.

[ultraman]

I can confirm that jackflash doesn't work on the NX73V yet.

Version used : 3.08b

[Eddy]

would be cool to send off sms msgs directly from the CLIE. :D

[pachman]

From the manuals that come with the NX73V/E:

SMS (for models with built-in Bluetooth™ functionality only)

You can send and retrieve messages and data via a connected GSM wireless device using the Short Message Service (SMS) application. This gives you a two-way paging functionality, and an easy way to read and respond to messages that have arrived on your wireless device.

Send messages
You can send messages from your CLIÉ™ handheld via a connected GSM wireless device, such as a mobile phone.

Note
There are some limitations when sending files via SMS.

Requirements
• GSM mobile phone: You can connect and send PDA data managed on your CLIÉ™ handheld.
• Phone driver: You need to install a phone driver on your CLIÉ™ handheld to use the SMS application.

I use the SMS tool on my NX70 using ir or bt with my t68i.. works a treat...

[boofus]

Where did you purchase your NX73?

I am trying to find a store or dealer in Europe that will send the European version to the states. I want the embedded bluetooth and SMS program.

Dan

[lhmorinv]

Hello all, where do I get the Phone Driver.

I have a t68i and have not luck in getting the Phone Driver.

The BT MS can sync with my Mac but dialing to the t68i fails miserably.

Any help is appreciated.

Luis

[jcvgolf]

hmmm.ultraman...I can confirm that Jackflash works with the new NX's...for a while now...jackflash 3.10b...do a search...15 extra megs of flash!!!

[Eddy]

I want too to try out the mobile SMS via BT on my UX. Why is there no such application pre-installed with the UX since it's got Bluetooth? :confused:

[simonjonknight]

Eddy, Cant you download it somewhere?
And yes the SMS app is fantasic. In bed and away from the phone, you hear the "beep,beep" of an incoming message. Pick up the Clie, go to SMS, press the "Send/Receive" button and there it is. And messages written in the Clie and sent through the phone, (I use a Nx73v and SE T610 Ultraman) is never stored on the phone, thus not clogging up its inbox.

! Ihmorinv !
This is the link to the Sony Generic Phone Driver. Works fine even though occasionally you get an error, just ignore the warning and it Still works!!!

[Defiant79]

Eddy,
I had on the 770 something downloaded from Palm. I tought it was called Phone. I could dail and send SMS (with the same program as on the €-NX) via ir. I'm not sure if I have it anymore, but I'll search my archive :D

But doesn't the BT-stick come with the SMS program? Maybe someone with the BT-stick could post it then?

Otherwise you could try funSMS (http://www.fun4palm.de/english/index.htm). It's shareware, though. But it has some added functions over Palm's SMS, like number recognition (if number is in Adress).

[Eddy]

Firstly I'd like to thank you all, so kindly as to reply to my inquiry about the SMS application, didn't think I'd get much response. You guys are great! & secondly, you all addressed me by name, that just leaves me speechless.... I mean... don't get me wrong. I just work in service industry & have one of those name tags with my name on them, but how often do you actually address them by name? I find the same situation here too. :D

wow, that sounds like a sweet application, & so cool that you can leave your phone alone, & just play around with your CLIE with the SMS. I want to play with it..... I'll check out the link you sent me, is that what you're currently using? Doesn't the NX73 Euro. come with pre-built SMS application? Thanks again. :p
off topic
So there's BT service for the underground in London now right? How does one apply? Is there like a one day service? I often travel so trying to find as much places where I can log on to the net while I'm going out to downtown Oxford Circus or something. :D

Nice suggestion there, wonder if any kind helpers around. :)
Defiant79
Thank you for the link of the funSMS, I'll check it out later, though I'd prefer something that was an original application from Sony.
& I love your new avatar, it's the NX73 Euro. with BT, looks so cool. Something that acts as a trademark, once I see that avatar, I know it's your right away. :p (shouldn't change it, otherwise it'll be harder to trace you. LOL ;)

Thank you both once again. I'll see what I can do with the SMS thing now. Cheers.

[simonjonknight]

Eddy,
Yep I have a euro NX73v with bluetooth and SMS built-in. Everything there in one neat little (sic) package!

BUT WOH...what's this about Bluetooth on the Tube. I live in town and know NOTHING. (Note to self - remove head from sand!) So is it internet access or what?

Info please....?

SJK

[Eddy]

so you mean you have the BT SMS tool pre-installed on your NX73? *Hint* :p

Well, about the underground, I just heard reviews, I don't know, I've just read an article somewhere that the underground would start offering internet service, but forgot if it was Bluetooth or Wireless. Sorry. :D

You're welcome :cool:
Maybe it's an idea for here: On the Dutch Palmclub you can put you first name under your avatar. For those who didn't use their own name in their screenname. Just like "location".

wow, that sounds like a sweet application, & so cool that you can leave your phone alone, & just play around with your CLIE with the SMS. I want to play with it.....

Indeed, it's pretty cool.
Btw: The link simonjonknight posted is for the GSM drivers.

offtopic :p I think I hold on to this avatar. Took me a while to find one wich I liked. It's a photo of my own NX with Kristanna/T-X as ZL background. I like the blue-lighted eye on T-X's exposed half on the right (the rest too :D). It suits well with the BT light :D And the orange color in the name represents Holland.

man, such a nice avatar, I keep looking at it, nice work on that. I like the blue light which goes so well with the Terminator 3 wallpaper. So mysterous.. :)

[boofus]

Eddy. The SMS application with the NX73 Euro is fantastic! I use it 10 - 15 times a day. I will try to get the application and send it to you.

You will love it!

I'm already loving it, just by hearing you guys mentioning about it. Count me in for it. Might as well post my email here.
eddy55 (at) netvigator.com

you guys are great! :D

[simonjonknight]

well guys, Have they done the job?
Or are you picking up the pieces?

Regards
SJK

[Eddy]

:(
for some reason those files didn't work.....
I haven't got a clie to why, there was just a prompt saying that the "localizer is not correct so the application will not run properly". By the way, I have a Japanese UX50, if that causes any difference. suggestions?

[simonjonknight]

hmm, that's interesting. I'll see what Gorto has to say as he has the files too. If he's watching...where's his machine from and what are the results?

Hey, Eddy - off topic - are you in San Fran or Hong Kong now, only I'm off to SF tomorrow?

SJK

[Defiant79]

Eddy, you could walk with a MS and FileZ into a store wich sells the Japanese NZ90 or TG50 and get SMS from one of them.

:D


I haven't got a clie to why
So, if you understand why, you do have a Clié? :p

Oh and I think that localizer error has to do with the fact that those files are from a European (multi-lingual) machine and that prolly clashes with the Japanese OS.

[simonjonknight]

is your japanese machine in characters or english but with character support?
Defiant might have a point, but perhaps the "borrowing" from another machine in a shop might get your collar felt!

If you need the files/assistance/help....just say the word and I'll do what I can.

Eddy, you could walk with a MS and FileZ into a store wich sells the Japanese NZ90 or TG50 and get SMS from one of them.
Yeah, but that's the one thing hard to do in Hong Kong, it's like the sales persons are watching you constantly, awaiting to lecture you on the product features. You can't even play with their unit without them noticing. So much for freedom. :p
Oh, & all the Japanese units should be sold out already too. Because most users prefer English based OS. (I'm the minor few who uses the Japanese OS. :()

Once again I must say your avatar is really nice, it's transparrent in background so it looks cool with both white background & purple background. :D

I'm using a pure Japanese unit UX50, so that would be the main problem more or less. It the kernal that's Japanese based, not a character support application. :(

surely can use the files/assistance/help...
I don't know what to say, speechless as I am... thank you in advance for even suggesting to help. :p

But you'll be going to San Francisco tomorrow eh? all the way from London. I'm currently in Hong Kong mainly, but my relatives all live down in San Francisco, so are the majority of my good high school friends. :D

[keeperkeith]

could someone send me those files.....i'd like try em on my nx80v through IR and eventually BT wheni get a BT MS :)

keeperkeith (at) airadvantage.net

thanks a bunch

[willsuds]

is it possible to get a copy of the sms program?

[Eddy]

I can't get it to run, keeperkeith I think you're having the same problem I'm having, I'm using Japanese OS, so I suppose you're using English OS right? So maybe those files have something missing? :confused: I still can't get it to work on my UX so...

[keeperkeith]

Eddy,
I actually got it workin great!!
but the files you sent weren't enough....
CS member nlode was nice enough to send me all the files needed :)

I'll post a mirror where everone can get them from in a few mins

U also need to get the driver for your phone from the palm site

[keeperkeith]

http://keithmsu.webhop.net/SMS_full.zip

there thats the SMS app with all the files needed to make it work....except for getting your phone driver from palm.....

[Gorto]

I tried installing SMS into my NX80V/H, couldn't get it to work. After I copied the 6 files to RAM, no icon show up in ZLauncher. I exited to default launcher then I get an icon that look like a blue circle with a pen on top labeled SMS. I tapped it, my Clie crashed. Reset, try again, no good again. Check the files with FileZ, SMS was 0 byte, so I copied the files again. This time I got into an endless crashing loop. Tried every trick I know to get out of it, but I had to hard reset at the end.

[keeperkeith]

Gorto, i also have an nx80v
use the files i just posted

[keeperkeith]

oh yeah......copy them to your RAM from a memory stick....then soft reset.....then Hotsync or copy the phone driver to Ram and then soft reset :)
It works grrrrrreat!
I can use SMS with my SE T616 using the T610 driver via IR (I can't wait til i can get BT!!!!)

[Gorto]

Thanks keeperkeith, I am trying it now. I am missing the phone driver, looking for it at Palm now. Is the application from a Clie or Palm?

[keeperkeith]

its called phonelink....its a zip file containing all the updated drivers and stuff.....all u need is the driver specific to your phone

[simonjonknight]

Hey Eddy,
Things are even better here in San Fan than I thought.
Im staying in the St. Francis(Westin) and they are trialing Wi-Fi, so i'm sat here in the coffe lounge typing away and as long as I fill in a 6 question form that appears every 30 mins I get free thats FREE broadband!!!!

Sorry to hear about the sms apps...

regards
SJK

[simonjonknight]

Hey Gorto,

First prize goes to that CRAZY avatar!!!!
Like it very much. I can see that in 30 posts time i;ll be coming to you for some avatar-action!
SJK

[Gorto]

I got phonelink to work with IR port of my T68i, that's good. Trying BT now, somehow, I can pair the devices but cannot establish a connection with the phone to send SMS.

[Gorto]

simonjonknight, just 26 more post from you. Keep going! Can't wait to see what you're going to use as your avatar.

[Gorto]

Yes, it works! Both IR and BT is working! I can send SMS without touching my phone anymore. Now I just wish that BT is built into my NX80.
Thanks Keeperkeith and thanks simonjonknight (although the one you sent me didn't work :p ). You guys are great.

Very happy now. :D:D:D

[keeperkeith]

i also wish BT was built into the nx80.... :( oh well

Have to get online one way or the other. ;)
I want to thank you anyway, for sending me those sms files, well worth the try. You were already a big help! Thanks again. So enjoy your time surfing in San Francisco!
*yeah, & gorto has that flying NX80 with the capture light scrolling for his puppy. cool! :D

Yeah, big thanks to Keeperkeith, & simonjonknight as well!
Thanks a lot guys! Time to try out the application on the UX50 now. You guys just made my day! :D

[keeperkeith]

I'd like to thank the academy.....lol

well if nlode is around, say thanks to him for the files :)

though i don't mind hosting them ;)

[Eddy]

Dear keeperkeith, is there any way to get just the "sms tool" alone because I've tried installing your file, I also get an icon that look like a blue circle with a pen on top labeled SMS. & 2 RemoteCam icon. (1 pre-installed, the other generated by the zip file.)
Also once I soft reset, goes into loop of soft-resets.:(

& since I'm using a Japanese UX50, installing that zip file also overwrite the connection settings on my UX50 (within preference), it's changed from Japanese to English now....
*something I wouldn't want.... because it might cause conflict with other applications that also uses the original Japanese connection settings. Any idea?

So I guess I'm force to leave it out for now?
Or must I download the phonelink driver mentioned above as well? Pls help....Many thanks in advance.

[keeperkeith]

well i think u need to make the Phone option come up in the Prefs for it to work at all.....so it knows there is a phone to communicate with.....

u might try getting these files from a Japanese NZ90 or TG50....

i really don't know what to tell ya....

[Eddy]

thanks for your big help anyway. I'll try to keep an eye open for one of those Japanese machines. :p

[simonjonknight]

Hey, this is just a big, happy, friendly, helpful group, ain't it?

Oh, and Eddy....This is form number 9. I keep having to order Lattes to keep the staff happy. I can see their frowns now! (grin)
Oh well, off to Starbucks for lunch - hey don't they have Wi-Fi too? (even bigger grin) And then supper at Macky D's - is there a pattern building? Obese but fully connected!?!

San Fran is lovely today....ok it's 7am but lovely all the same.

[skccs]

Well I hear a lot of great working sms-apps and got to admit, that on my european NZ90 the sms app is that bad, that I won't use it anymore. Too may people answerd me that there phone's showed error-messages or scrambled text's.

So I look for a working SMS-Bluetooth solution, but as much as I know is funsms the only bt sms solution apart of sony's build in application. And as much as I know does funsms only work with the bt-memory-stick and not for the devices with build in bluetooth like the nz90, tg50 and ux50?

[Eddy]

I'm not too sure here, but I've tried FunSMS with my UX50 & the application worked alright. You should give it a try & since it has a 30day trial period. Cheer. :)

[onenblue]

fun sms is great I have the nx70 and sony t68 it works great

[ijbrewster]

Help:

I keep getting stuck in the 'Loop of Death'

Which of the 28 files in the .zip do I need to move to RAM via MS and which should I just HotSync?

Please help...I'm just itchin' to use this...

[Unregistered]

I just loaded all the prc in the hot sync and it found where to go.........

[Eddy]

I still haven't figured out a perfect way to put those files, since I use a Japanese Unit, I don't want uncessary files to overwrite the Japanese Preferences. :(

[Halesy]

Thanks keeperkeith for the link. I'm a bit strapped for space on my NX, no way of fitting all that on! And I don't think it'll work from MS ;-) How about from CF??? I'll try it out

[Eddy]

nice now flay Halesy! :p

[Eddy]

nice now flay Halesy! :p
gosh must be too early in the morning, all typos... LOL :p
I meant to say "Nice New Flag"! :D

[ijbrewster]

Well, I am sad to say that I have tried almost every way to install the 28 files in SMS_Full.zip and the two Sony Generic phone drivers into RAM, and I still can't get the thing to work.

I get a Fatal Alert (MemeoryMgr.c, Line:3583 Free Handle) when I try to do pretty much anything (like select the SMS preferences) in the SMS application.

If I go to 'Preferences' I now have a 'Phone' option where I can select my Connection - this seems OK. but when I try to 'Test' the the connection I get another error message 'Unable to load Phone Services - Please re-install Phone Services as described in your documentation' - the last 5 words are difficult for me to follow...

But the most annoying part of is that actual SMS app refuses to work

I have an NX70V/E with 3.7M of space (thanks to Jack) and I'm trying to connect to Nokia 6310i via IR.

Any help gratefull rec'd.

TIA

[Halesy]

Cheers Eddy.

I've found the same problem as ijbrewster when I tried to use funsms. I need to do more research on this and any assistance offered would be appreciated.

[c0mm0n]

Hey eddy, any news on dial/sms for ux ?

If u have any files to be tested, i'm your man :p

[mjhamilton]

I use this app on my NX70u/E with no issues......... sounds like you are missing some files................ I can email the ones I have if you want??...

[c0mm0n]

I've a jap device and it may be more difficult to set, nut i'd really be grateful if u can mail me yours

c0mm0n@fr.st

Happy Birthday c0mm0n! :D

well, I'm still stuck with no luck with the "Tap & Dial" in AddressBook, it just won't work. :(

I've tried funSMS, just straight forward, send SMS, but it doesn't offer the "Tap & dial" feature. What's with this? do you have to have BT active full time, like it's handshaking with a device first before you can use "Tap & Dial"? The most funniest thing is that even the JP units don't have SMS function, it has the "Tap & Dial" so what is it there for??? :confused:

[c0mm0n]

it's in 6 days :) but thx !!

Do y have tap'n'dial ? i don't think i have :(

As i don't mind going into a hard reset using the internal bakcup function, i'd really like to test some files to get the phone stuff working

[orol]

mjhamilton: could you please check the version of SMS app in "about" screen ? or anyone having NX73/E. I'm using TG50 which also has got SMS app but it doesn't show the time of received sms which the newer version on palm tungsten T2/T3 does show ..

thanks

[Eddy]

c0mm0n, on your UX50, tap on AddressBook.
Tap on Properties/Option/Setting....
You'll see a check box for "Enable Tap-Dial or Dap-Mailer".
Once I checked that box, I can click on any email address & ClieMail will popup an email page. But when I tap on a phone number nothing happens but I will go into edit mode.

Did sony mention anything about how the phone numbers need to be standardised or what? :p
:confused:

[c0mm0n]

Same problem for me..all my numbers are stored with international format

[vosik]

My gf owns japanese TG-50 and I tried to find SMS app you guys mentioned here. I could not find this program nor on the handheld itself, nor in the installation disk, probably because Japan does not use SMS but uses different messaging system within country.

Still looking for ways to make this sms app work in japanese TG-50 (although we dont go out of Japan often)

[m-hirsch]

Follow this link and you will find this sms software, Dial! , it works great, it is freeware, and there is a new beta version 2.0 with bluetooth support.
Able to send , receive and archive SMS on your palm.
It even has the option of sending "flash sms", which means that the sms displays automatically on the phone (no need to open it!)
I use it with NX70 and siemens phone, it works just fine.
Have fun.
