I have a file /opt/smscon/alarm.wav RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 8 bit, mono 11025 Hz

In /opt/smscon/smscon.log there's this error when receiving Alarm SMS:
ERROR: (ALARM) Could not get current phone profile.
Thank you for the report. I can reproduce it and are working on a solution.

UPDATE: fixed in 0.9.5

No, no don't flash!

If even resetting smscon does not help, it seems to me that you don't have write access to this file:
/home/user/.smscon-editor/smscon_config
or to the containing folder.

Could you please open xterm and enter following command (it is important to do it as normal user, not as root):
Code:
$ echo fluppy >/home/user/.smscon-editor/test
$ cat  </home/user/.smscon-editor/test
# --> should write fluppy onto the console
$ rm /home/user/.smscon-editor/test
Do all this commands work without error message? If there was any error message, please post them here, thank you.

My first advice is to stop using devel. First you need to learn more stuff about the OS and things you can do with it.
My second advice is to give better explanations.

Now,
1. open xterm
2. become root
3. copy paste (each line separately) the following commands (here an ssh connection would be ideal)
Code:
apt-get -y remove --purge smscon
apt-get -y remove --purge smscon-editor
apt-get -y remove --purge python-crypto pexpect libgmp3c2
apt-get clean

rm -rf /opt/smscon/
rm -rf /opt/smscon-editor/
rm -rf /home/user/.smscon-editor
rm -f /usr/bin/smscon-editor 
rm -f /usr/bin/smscon
rm -f /etc/sudoers.d/smscon.sudoers
rm -f /etc/sudoers.d/smscon-editor.sudoers
rm -f /etc/event.d/smscon_boot
update-sudoers
4. then reboot your device
5. open xterm
6. become root
7. copy paste the following
Code:
apt-get update
apt-get -y install smscon-editor
apt-get clean
Go to the application menu and open SMSCON Editor.

NEW VERSION OF SMSCON AVAILABLE: 0.9.5-1

smscon 0.9.5-1 has been queued for loading into fremantle extras-devel repository.
  • FIX: Error in package installer (postremove).
  • FIX: Playing COM_ALARM sound failed some times.
  • FIX: Fix check for boolean parameters (yes/no)
  • FIX: Phone numbers written in human style like "(01234) 5678-99" will no longer confuse smscon.

This looks like that there was a directory missing. Could have tryied following command as normal user:

Code:
mkdir /home/user/.smscon-editor
I see that you in the meanwhile solved the problems by a rigorous de- and re-installing the app, fine! Congratulations!

I confirm the alarm is working in 0.9.5. I have a couple of suggestions:

- increase volume to maximum before playing the sound
- loop the sample for a configurable number of times, because playing just once is only a few seconds long for most "alarm.wav" files

I have been test-driving this wonderful application for the past one week. Initially I was quite thrilled getting the results of my SMS commands, but lately I have noticed something unusual. I load the SMSCON editor, test sending a sms, an email with my photo or even making a test call. Everything works, but when I try giving commands from the controlling mobile phone nothing happens except the exchange of messages between the two phones. Nothing gets executed, be it power command or location or even call command. I don' t forget to press the button " tests done".
