Did you try any other command; do they work?

Re: [Announce] SMScon (control your device with SMS)
 

Hi,
Yes, I tried some command (Power, Location, Camera, Call), but it didn't make any action. Also nothing to changed in smscon log. A tried reinstall, remove, reset from console, reconfigure,.. but nothing helped me :(.

Re: [Announce] SMScon (control your device with SMS)
 

I am having similar problems. tried with 3 different numbers etc.

does smscon btw mind from which number the sms command is from?

Re: [Announce] SMScon (control your device with SMS)
 

The number is not checked. If the command is valid, i.e. matches what has been defined, then it is executed.

Stupid question, but did you check that it is running?

There were some more people mentioning that it didn't work for them but we didn't manage to understand if it is another program intercepting/changing the dbus signals or it is something else.

We have excluded basic stuff like differences between European and US networks and seemed to be more like userspace problem but nothing like a breakthrough.

Re: [Announce] SMScon (control your device with SMS)
 

I have never experienced this problem myself. Some users have.

Smscon uses Dbus to detect a receiving SMS message and compares the message text with the predifine texts (AKA commands). If not the same smscon doesn't do anything else in the background. It's all a fairly basic & simple approach, which should interfere with other installed software I think.

Slight delay for new version release (0.7-1). I will send Saturn tomorrow the new user settings/commands to implement (if he has time to do it).

Re: [Announce] SMScon (control your device with SMS)
 

I recently installed, works fine but I have a big problem:

it makes my n900 keep connecting to an "MMS" gprs connection, no matter how many times I disconnect it. This is a problem beacause:

a. i think additional charges might occur (this connection is different from the one I use for using my data plan...)
b. it is always connected draining battery without reason, and I have to disconnect/connect again every time I want to do something online.

I tried stopping process from smscon-editor, restarting, uninstalling + reinstalling. I even uninstalled completely and it keeps connecting to the MMS profile. I cannot delete this from the internet connections from phone settings. The only way is to keep my data plan connection open, but I do not want to (battery problems then...)

What can i do? Any idea would be helpful...

Re: [Announce] SMScon (control your device with SMS)
 

Did you install fMMS?
I think that one was making a connection profile which was hidden.
If that is true, and you are not using it ask in one of the threads about it on how to remove it.

What is your Internet connection settings?
Check that if you need to switch it to "always ask" or "manual" - don't know what you prefer.

Re: [Announce] SMScon (control your device with SMS)
 

I had fMMS installed for a long time now, without having this specific problem. Since I do not use it that much, I just uninstalled it to see what happens now.

I did not understand well the last part of your message though... Up to now, I always initiated whatever connection (wifi or gprs) manually, not automatically.

Re: [Announce] SMScon (control your device with SMS)
 

Go to Menu > Settings > Internet connections

A menu will pop, first thing writes "connect automatically" and next to it is an option.
Choose the one that fits to your needs.

Re: [Announce] SMScon (control your device with SMS)
 

Yes, I know, that setting is set to "always ask".

Anyway, I think it has stopped connecting to MMs on its own know, so (hopefully) problem solved... Thanx!
