SME45iv04 and Flash SMS

[genetic1]

Hello,

I use patch "send flash sms directly from the phone" and "LCC. Left Characters Countdown".

Now, suddenly it doesn’t work, to send a sms as flash sms.

Don’t know why – I haven’t change anything in phone/patch???

SMS always would be send as normal sms.

What could be the reason – does anybody know? (I don’t forget to add 1 space in the beginning of the message!)

I have some questions about flash sms:

1. How many characters could be send in flash sms (is there a limitation)?
2. What happens, if I send more?
3. What happens, if I get serval flash sms – will they all be displayed in idle?

Hope somebody can help!?

BR

Can you post which FlashSMS and LCC patch version are you using?

Answers:
1: Don't know, but I think cannot be more than 1 SMS long.
2. Don't know, try and tell us.
3. No, the last arrived one is "overwritten" over previous one.

1: Don't know, but I think cannot be more than 1 SMS long.

You mean 160 characters?

Can you post which FlashSMS and LCC patch version are you using?

These both patches I've applied.

Is there something "wrong"???

I've tried and you are right.
But with 2 spaces it works.
I don't know why, i'll investigate this strange behaviour.
Bye

[genetic1]

But with 2 spaces it works.

...but not all the time. I've tested today (my girlfriend too) and both time there is a normal ones received.

Could the reason be the combination of this both patches?

Looking back to fw routines, the answer should be:
NO, IMPOSSIBLE they don't "interfere" each others.

But in my patches experiences I found out that sometimes also very distant and apparentely "not-related" routines, are related somehow in the working phone.
So, as usual, the only think to do is TEST it, first with only FlashSMS patch applied than with both ones.

At the moment I've only FlashSMS patch applied (NO LCC patch). Today I've tested and...I can't get/send a FlashSMS.

Is there a bug in FlashSMS patch?

Did FlashSMS patch work at your mobile(s)?

BTW, if FlashSMS patch is "interfered" by any patch who uses actual very distant and apparentely "not-related" routines, how can we find out, which patch it is?

Yes, probably there is just a bug in FlashSMS patch.
No relationship with LCC patch.

I remember there were other newer Russian patch versions, in their forum (Siemens-club.ru).
Maybe they had discovered and fixed this bug.
I cannot find it in my patch "database" (or more properly, patch "mess")

The only sure way to find if patch interfere with one other, is to try to remove one of it.
For this reason, the best way to test (new) patches should be to apply them one by one, using phone for a while each time a new patch is added.
Anyway, it's (very) rare that two patches interfear each other (if not using the same SPs or related starting routines,or using the same free space), and usually an acute observer and deep fw-knowledger can find the missing link, and eventually correct them.

Nice tip, but I don't know any russian letter - let alone then any word! Russian language is for me, like for you chinese!

I think you understand a little bit russian language, so would you be nice to give me a more exact tip (forum is large!) or even the exact link to topic!?

For this reason, the best way to test (new) patches should be to apply them one by one, using phone for a while each time a new patch is added.

Do you not use flash sms?

[lalo.lerry]

No, I don't know Russian, but use a online translator to try to read what they are writing (anyway translation is terrible!).

No, I don't use FlashSMS patch.

[misko903]

in "send flash sms directly from the phone" doesnt work slovak (or other language) characters. tested

[genetic1]

...problem is still alive...

@misko903:

I am german - I only use german letters in flash sms all the time.

Any other idea?

[genetic1]

@Lalo:

Hi, my friend...

...now I've got the reason for problem about flash SMS...

Reason is (your) patch "Show calling icon V6"!!!

If you have applied these patch, you can send flash SMS, but if you get a flash ones, it would displayed at normal ones!!!

Hope inormation was usefull???

BTW, how can I change flash SMS icon?

[lalo.lerry]

I've checked out... in my phone there is not this strange behaviour.
But there are at least 4 type of Flash SMS, I can check only 3...

About changing flash SMS icon in display string, it's possible.
But it's a font icon, you have to search and edit it with SCE.

But it's a font icon, you have to search and edit it with SCE.

I've also thought so - but I have absolutely no idea, where/how I should start searching in fullflash - I only see lots of characters...
