the xp beta 1 service pack installation is spitting errors (like can't backup registry, etc. etc.) like there's no tomorrow.... sigh. i'll have to forgo this installation (and there's a warning that when the release service pack is made available, you have to remove the beta. well, as usual from microsoft) |

Excuse my ignorance everyone. Does Windows XP SP-1 include MS Bluetooth  support or are they separate? If I get my hands on SP-1 will I also have to look for :bt: support or will that be enough? I know SP-1 is still in Beta (if I'm not mistaken) and I understood from the MS site that :bt: support in XP is also still not done.
Would much appreciate it if anyone could enlighten me here.
Thanks!

@Arnoldc
Have you figured out a solution to the random disconnects with FMA? I've made some minor changes and if I'm not mistaken, things are a bit more stable now - I'm still in testing now but so far it's been running without disconnecting for a couple of hours straight so it seems to be OK. What I did was to lower the refresh interval on my connection manager (3COM software that came with my device) - this allows the connection manager (and hence the PC) to search for devices more frequently. I also lowered the Polling Interval on FMA and I enabled the "Auto Reconnect" option on FMA. These 3 things seem to have fixed it (hope I'm not speaking too soon). I later tried setting the Polling Interval back to 15 seconds because I had changed it to 1 second and this is very annoying if you have the FMA window open 
After changing it back to 15 seconds it's still working fine without disconnection. So I think the refresh interval on the device and the 'Auto Reconnect' option on FMA did the trick. Will let you know if it dies on me again 
@float
I cannot help but commend you yet again on this marvelous creation of yours.

floAt! You've done a great job!
I haven't tryed the native Infrared (because I have Bluetooth and I think that Infrared sucks) but looks good.
I just downloaded the mobile agent and I'm using it at work... Pretty brilliant. I've got my phone connected via Cable and my recieved messages pop up on my screen and I can take the calls in my Bluetooth headset. Pretty neat!
Now I have a request for you: Can you add a function to the mobile agent so that the computer plays a short "ding" when I recieve a message? The message window is a little bit too stealth on Windows 2000 and my phone does not beep when recieving a message while connected to Mobile Agent.
The ÁáÉé thing must be sorted... I work for a telecom operator and we have a free SMS service. We convert these charachters with the comma facing to the right with charachters with the comma facing to the left and send them out in the message.
I'm not shure about how many nations are using these, but we are not the only one because we haven't had any trouble with these letters. We are the only nation that uses Þþ and Ðð. We Icelanders had a huge fight with the turks to keep them in some latin subcharachter set.

@Merkur: Try the following: Download float's Sample Script from his Website, and place the following lines into the script after the line where it says "sub OnNewSMS(Sender, Text)":
strSoundPath = "C:winntmediading.wav"
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run "sndrec32.exe /play /close " & strSoundPath , 0, False
In the first line, you have to change the path to the sound-file you want to have played when a new SMS arrives (usually in "c:winntmedia").
If all is setup correctly, you should now hear the "bing"-sound every time a new sms arrives.
@float (or anybody else): this is quite a "quick and dirty" method to play a sound. Maybe there is a more elegant way to do this  , without using the Shell-Object?
Greetz,
Rog.

float, here are my observations:
a) the disconnect does not happen so far (Mimzo, you were also asking me about this) i tried it for about 5 hours everyday;
b) i can't minimize the window without going to the tray icon and selecting restore, then i can minimize;
c) in the sms inbox, i selected three messages, right click and select delete. after that, my sms inbox cannot be accessed anymore with an error "$+C is not a valid integer value." i disconnected and reconnected, same error. i closed the application, restarted again, and STILL same error! what happened??? the archive and sent items are still accessible. i'm stuck here 
update on c) i renamed the .dat file and it works now... of course other sms are gone.
d) i'm getting weird chars on multi-part sms. example: é@ø("¡@hat I sent you now is from the software. Its version 2.0.183, got it from one of the links you posted before. @

@arnoldc,
quick answer/workaround: while making sure FMA is not running go to the FMA directory and delete/rename the file 'SMSInbox.dat', and refresh your inbox. (tell me if the problem occured again)
The restore before 'able to minimize' is a known bug, a bit hard to troubleshoot at the moment, but will work on it later.

@ShuanC, @Minzo, @Epedemic
SP1 beta & BT Ext beta are not published.
BT Ext beta is not included in SP1 beta, nor in the scheduled release of SP1 next month. I heard BT ext is due around october.
Trust me guys, you don't want to use the MS-BT yet, as FMA could be the only published app on earth that supports it now, unless you're a developer (no virtual serial port, no file transfer, no etc etc yet) I've to use IR for Outlook Sync for the time being
@Merkur, @rog
Ok, due to poppular request, i will add option for playing wav file while sms is received, later (remind me if i forgot ) At the mean time Rog's suggestion is good enough (i don't know any better way, not quite good in scripting, but maybe hooking up to MM interface via COM will be better, anyway don't know how off hand)
I think it is fair to solve those characters problem, but i will need some input from you. Could you prepare some SMS with those problematic characters, sent it to yourself, and email me the SMSInbox.dat, do delete your other SMS before sending to me
@arnoldc
If you still have the SMSInbox.dat and it does not contain any sensitive information, please email it to me for trobleshooting.
It is not that important that other SMS are gone as you can always refresh it from the phone. SMSInbox.dat is mean as a cache so that refreshing is not necessary everytime.
(d) that is also a known problem i leave it to be solved while i add 'long message' support. I did notice the @ at the end sometime but haven't figured that out yet.
Cheers,

You might want to take a look at Shawn0's post here:

I'm quite confused about the script controls in older windows...
