Hello,

I've not tried smscon, but I'm installing it right now. However, I noticed the versioning scheme you're using for smscon. While the following are not mandatory for maemo, I guess it would be better to consider them just to be more correct.

The versioning of debian packages is in the form XXX-Y. For example, smscon's version is 0.7-2. This means that the actual version of smscon is 0.7 and that there were two different packagings of that version. 0.7-1 was the first packaging and 0.7-2 the second.

As a rule of thumb: If you change the code of your program then modify the first part (the program's version). If you change anything under debian/, repackage it and re-upload it then change the second number.

IOW, the first number if the version that the developer keeps while the second number is the version that the packager keeps. If you're packaging someone else's program then you'd download their program (let's say version 1.2.2) and add your own versioning (1.2.2-1, 1.2.2-2, etc) whenever you modified the debian scripts.

Hi, thanks for this excellent app. But i have a problem. When i change the sim card, i donī t receive the new number in my other cellphone. All the options tests work fine. See this part of the log file:

DAEMON INFO: reading 1 IMSI codes from "smscon_code" file
DAEMON WARNING: IMSI code has changed to "xxxxxxxxxx"
DAEMON INFO: added IMSI code (xxxxxxxxxx) to "smscon_code" file


(the Xs are numbers)


It should send the new number, not add the IMSI code.

thanks in advance for you help.

Hi, i havent read this thread in a while, maybe only the first post when it gets updated.

I had the unconfortable situation of being in a brookstone store the other day and sat down on those massage chairs that moves you in all the right ways. but 2 min after getting up from the chair i noticed my phone was missing, must of slipped out during the chair ride.
of coursed i panic, i told the people that were with me to call my phone, no reply, then i activated the trackon command and althoug the command was accepted, there was no gps signal in the mall.

at that moment i really wanted a command that would sound an alarm, as loud as possible, i know you could play with scripts and/or open a shell but is it feasible to include such command?

I am officialy and humbly requesting an alarm command to be executed from sms.


this could be proven very valuable when you cant find your phone, specially in a closed space with no gps.

fortunetly one of the store clercks found the phone and put it in a drawer, and after seeing my "i have lost my most valuable posesion" face as i walked in circles around the store, he ask me if i had lost my phone and gave it back.

just my 2cp

ps:sorry for the terrible english, not 1st language and im typing on the phone so no spellcheck.

I got a problem when I installed a new version of SMSCon. I didn't give a root pw then. When I tried to open app, I got a dialog for PW, and since I didn't give it, I don't have one. Removing and re-installing didn't reset it either. How I could reset the pw, is there a folder or file somewhere which I should e.g. delete between uninstalling and re-installing.

Thank You for Your help in advance!

High times, the apps have arrived to Extras repos!! Thanks to all testers/voters for their time, effort and comments.

As digitalvoid said, we are preparing the next version with all (read: most) requests. It should be the terminal version.

Cheers.

Hi! Just installed this awesome application. Thank you for your work.

I'm having a little issue: my phone tries to connect to GPRS every 10~15 minutes. Is this a common/default behavior or can be disabled?

Goto to "Settings" > "Internet connections" and change the "Connect
automatically" to your preferred method.

If you activate with a command once the SMSCON it will switch this
method to choose always the GPRS.

Reading the wiki will help you.
