regarding your technical question i am not a developer so sorry

I don't use the keyboard slider option, so it's not a problem for me.
I assumed the slider/battery messages were only sent if the reply function was enabled.
The latest version never sends messages without being provoked. Althought, when you do send a command you will get multiple of the same message which is annoying.

There isn't really a stolen mode on any version but the older version makes it seem like there is. I think the current version works great forwhat I want.

As for the international prefix problem, read the SMSCON wiki again. It advises you to store the number as SMSCON reads it. So send a "Check" and copy the last sender in.

you are right. it sends only when the slider/battery messages were only sent if the reply function was enabled.

but i want smscon to sends sms each time when keyboard is opened. and that is what i can not do in newer version.

Are these suppose to happen? Seems a bit excessive when one is enough.

When I send a command from the master number to SMSCON, it warns me that the number wasn't the master number due to it not having the international prefix.

E.G. +447822xxxxxx instead of 07822xxxxxx

This happens even though the conversation app shows the message in national/local format.
I guess the only way to solve this is to store the master number in international format?

Numbers like 07822xxxxxx are ambiguous. Its only a guess if some applications treat them the same as +447822xxxxxx; they would treat them the same as +227822xxxxxx as well. For SMSCON these are all different numbers. SMSCON is tolerant only against leading + or zeroes.

AFIK there is no disadvantage to specify all numbers using international prefix. Even if calling a local number using an international prefix the telecom provider treats and charges that as local call only.

Number differences explain why you got an even number of SMS (4); so it would be 2 after changing the master number having an international prefix. Are these 2 remaining sms exactly the same? Or do they have different "subjects"?

The four script sms' are exactly the same.
The two test sms' are exactly the same.
All have the same time stamp too.

I can't reproduce it yet. The only way I get four SMS is when I
(1) enable "send reply message on every command" AND
(2) enter the master number without international prefix.

But even in this case:
Two sms have content "-script- Script file executes in BG" Where one of them has additional blind copy information "BC: sender number". The one with BC info is the sms that was sent to the particular phone number stored as master phone number.

The other two sms have content "-reply- Command (xxx) accepted". Again one of them with additional blind copy information.

All four sms look similar on first sight but in fact all four sms have slightly different content.

Could you please compare again the contents of the four sms you got? Just to be really sure that they all are exactly the same. Thank you.

I had deleted the messages.
Upon retesting (with the master number in intl format)
I get two messages exactly the same on both devices.

/SMSCON/Owner

I got this twice on the recieving (SMSCON enabled) N900 both display 23:16

N900
2012-03-19 23:23:05
-script-
script file (/opt?smscon/smscon_script) executes in BG.

I got this twice as a reply on the sender (also master) N900

Settings in SMSCON are:-
Reply Method SMS
Unlock Device on non-authorised
Send reply message on - all options unchecked
Retry on fail - unchecked
Master and Last sender are the same in intl format.

Two messages is better than four but why is everything sent twice?

I was wondering what you mean with and/or where do you got this:

/SMSCON/Owner

Was it the content of a sms you received? I searched the complete code but found nothing appropriate. Please tell me.

Could it be that your N900 runs two incarnations of smscon_daemon process? To find that out, could you please in xterm enter the command

Code:

ps | grep smscon

In regular case the output should look like this (in particular at most one line of "python /opt/smscon/smscon_daemon"):

Code:

N900:~# ps|grep smscon
 1484 root     13820 S    python /opt/smscon/smscon_daemon 
 9748 root      2088 S    grep smscon 
N900:~#

If you're not sure, post output of your command here.

Similar, here's the output. Should grep smscon be root?

Code:

N900:~# ps|grep smscon
 1701 root     13080 S    python /opt/smscon/smscon_daemon 
 4452 user      2092 S    grep smscon 
N900:~#

Mind you, that I also have smscon_daemon running only once, yet, I receive every SMS twice. It's the same "mysterious bug" that I've been reporting ages ago, if You remember (not demanding anything, just mentioning, as you may have forget).
