SMS-Chat by Vito Technologies Threaded SMS

[Konstantink]

Hi pals. In the latest version at iwindowsmobile.com 1. the copy/paste issue fixed 2. predictive text works as it uses the default keyboard predictions 3. for typing problems I recommned ZoomBoard at www.iwindowsmobile.com/onscreen-keyboard.html

It's true peeps, and about time .

Ok, here's the rundown on some of the welcome changes to the application:

1. New layout (takes a little getting used to, nothing major) which displays the type of number next to the contact in the newly titled Chats window e.g. Chaosxj349 Mobile. The buttons on the main Chats window have been moved to the top, leaving more room for finger "flickability".

2. Best addition to the app - Numbers/Letters on the side to easily scroll to you contacts to send them a text, or add them to a group text. It looks very similar to the one in Vito Funcontacts, but the contacts scroll with the letters.

3. So far so good, messages are being sent without more than a 3 second delay, and I'm getting 97% of my wav/vibrating notifications for new incoming messages every time, no matter if the app is minimised or closed.

4. The message notification still pops up over s2u2 (I ain't know bout y'all, but I have no problems with that, makes my lazy life a whole lot easier)

5. Predictive text is working now, but there is still no auto capitalization of the first letter in the first word of the text. Still a tad bit annoying, but bearable.

6. Shows the number of characters in a newly composed sms, and shows whether it will be sent as one message, two messages, etc.

7. You can copy and paste text in new messages now, but you can't copy and paste from previously sent and received messages. And most importantly, you can't add a new contact if someone sends you a new telephone number via sms, and you want to click on the number to start the default add contact scenario.

Anyways, I'm starting to feel the love again... Another reason to love my phone/forum/application (choose one or all that apply).


Oh wait, almost forgot. I've been having a problem sending a text to a telephone number not designated as the "mobile" number (even using the default WM messaging app). Is there a workaround to this, coz I have friends with multiple cell numbers, and having to switch them around is becoming a real pain...

I know! Speaking of that annoying ish, is there a way to prevent PocketCM from intercepting some texts sometimes? Like its kinda random when it happens, but sometimes when I get a text, it'll show the regular notification, and then it'll go to PocketCM and I have to close it and go back to the regular threaded SMS. I just want it for a contacts list! Annoying!

go into pocketcm settings, and there is a button you can check to "allow another program to handle sms"

Ahhh, your friendly neighborhood information provider has returned .

I've been messing around with a few keyboards for this app, from Vito Zoomboard, Touchpal, Resco, etc, and I've finally found a keeper. Now of course you know I must post vids so that you can see what I'm talking about, so whapax (Bajan slang).... See Below.

The only thing I really love from PocketCM is their new Keyboard v0.13 with Iphone skin, this is even better than Touchpal in some ways, here is the video for that too (the new iphone skin looks way better and has much bigger keys than the one shown in the vid) and some skin installation and config info:

1. Install the keyboard cab file
2. UnRAR the skins in the PocketCM Keyboard folder
3. Go to Settings --> Input
4. Choose PCM Keyboard --> Click Options
5. Tick Enable suggestion
6. Choose 2many in the Keyboard skin dropdown
7. Click Ok, then choose Word completion
8. Tick Suggest Words > after 2 letters > suggest 4
9. Tick Add a space after word
10. Click Ok

If you're still hooked on TouchPal, here is a video with some helpful tips.

still doesnt work with the touch keyboard?

[cwest06]

the auto popup for messages is a no no. if they fix that it might be a good program

[eballin]

one app that i like alot is the contact manager that they have.. it is very easy use. and it doesnt eat up any memory at all.
