The idea behind the application is to get notified on just new messages and then download them in the background.


Please don't create an automated script to force manual syncs. If we see accounts that are doing that frequently we may have to take action to deal with it. Keep in mind that we have hundreds of thousands of users and we watch performace stats like a hawk.


I know where/how to set the number of new messages but without better intergration it doesn't have a lot of value.

We have codes to change audio on a few different devices but the manuafacturers do not give this information freeley and in order to properly mange audio we would have to write our own player or risk interfereing with proper phone operation. It's on or list.


What really is the issue here? Leaving the app running in the background? It doesn't do anyting if it's not active, but if you get a message it does exactly what it's supposed to.


The issue is that I don't want PhoneFusion to pop up when I get a new message in the middle of whatever I'm doing. If I simply stop the app from launching, then I have no way of know that I have a new message unless I periodically launch and manually sync. That's the only thing that's motivating me to find a work around. I'm not planning to write any script to force periodoc syncs of the application. All I want to do is:
  1. Stop PhoneFusion from automatically launching when a message is received - That's done.
  2. Make the new voicemail notification show up on the Today screen - That's done.
  3. Launch the PhoneFusion app when and only when I want to by tapping the the notification - Not done.
  4. Stop the PFMA formatted text from showing up in my inbox - Not done.
Once I start the app by tapping the notification, I'll manually sync to see my new messages. If there is an argument I can pass to FVMPlus.exe to automatically sync when I start the app to read new messages, that would be ideal.

Are any of these things going to cause a problem on your end?
