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

UPDATE NEWS

SMSCON 0.7-1 was successful in the autobuilder, so It can be updated soon... See the already updated wiki for new features!

You have to wait for the SMSCON-editor 0.7-x release to use SMSCON 0.7-1 if you only want to use it with the GUI!
You can ofcourse always use SMSCON as command-line application...

@ Saturn: Can you release SMSCON-editor 0.7-x?

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

Find the new version of the SMSCON Editor v. 0.7-3 in extras-devel
http://maemo.org/packages/view/smscon-editor/

This version among the other changes brings compatibility to SMSCON version > 0.7
On the GUI side, the notable changes are:

my new ability to constract scrollable lists - only the commands tabs will use that for now but later might consider other tabs too.
my new ability to use signals - the disable all SMS replies will hide all irrelevant options.

Cumulative updates since the previous version:

Addition of five new commands and one new option in the UI and code (support for SMSCON ver. > 0.7)
Adddition of scrollable list for the commands editing. All the commands now can be edited from one tab.
Improvement in the UI to hide SMS reply options when replies are disabled.
Improvement in the change password window.
Simplification and cleanup in many parts of the code.
New About page with auto rotation.
Correction for stackable windows.

Some more information/screenshots in the wiki page of SMSCON Editor (will be updated shortly)

REMEMBER: On the first use, the password is 12345 to open, then you can change it if you want.

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

I installed SMSCON and the edit program. The testing worked fine with sending messages from the n900. This looks like a really nice program to have.

Press the button, I get an SMS on the called phone. Email works too with an all-green, Hulk-like image of myself.

However, I cannot get the phone to respond back by SMS requests.

For gmail, there are two smtp servers, one for incoming and the other for outgoing. I chose the outgoing one. By mistake, I put an extra space after the smtp server name. Removing the space fixed the problem.

I am new at this ...

1. Should I do some settings/setup or install a filter of sorts for the front camera?
2. What do I send in the SMS? A word "Call" and that's it?
3. Should I be using a prefix? I removed the prefixes. No luck.

Thanks

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

Reseting the password when upgrading isn't a good idea, what if the robber sees the blinking ! and ends up telling the N900 to upgrade SMSCON?

Agree on this.. also if it isn't it should be in another file. The 12345 password should be in the app info too. Didn't know about it before i read it here.

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

btw, from wiki:

Quote:

CHANGE / FIX: (UNTESTED) if USER & PASSWORD setting is empty, email sending to smtp server is done without user & password authentication.

I have tested this with version 0.7-1 and it works now.

Any plans to have a list of multiple smtp-servers to try in order if one of them fails?

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

Pulled down the SMSCON editor update this morning. Can't believe I have to reconfigure the bloody thing again!!!

What a pain is the ***.

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

hi, this is working except that when i test from app the gps it doesnt send the location to mail but perhaps this is expected.

the only problem is that it is sending several repeated sms's this is a big bug i think or is the interval in milliseconds?
