Questions to those that commands not working:

- when you've set the number did you put it in the international format or in the local?
- when you receive normally SMSs is the number of the sender shown in international or local format?
- when you receive the "Location" does your phone switch to GPRS?

Could you also put some info like the log and which command you tried? (me too is not that useful)

Thanks.

EDIT: If you go in the editor in the "Init" tab and press "start" what does the message say?

- Tried with international and local number format
- Unknown numbers (not in address book) from normal SMSs are shown in international format
- Nope, does not do anything. In the log you can see that it doesn't recognize the commands - otherwise i guess that the log would say something like "Received Location Command"

Here's my log info:
DAEMON INFO: successfully loaded "smscon_config" file
DAEMON INFO: reading valid IMSI code (xxxxxxxxxxxx) from file
DAEMON INFO: authorized IMSI code found
DAEMON INFO: smscon auto-loads at boot
DAEMON INFO: stored current NONE network (NONE)
DAEMON INFO: connecting to GPRS network (o2 Internet)
DAEMON INFO: GPRS network (o2 Internet) connection successfull
DAEMON INFO: internet connection behaviour set to "GPRS"
DAEMON INFO: (EMAIL) trying to connect to "xyz.xyz.xyz"
DAEMON INFO: send test email1 message to "xyz@xyz.xyz"
DAEMON INFO: (EMAIL) mailserver connection closed
DAEMON INFO: current network disconnected
DAEMON INFO: internet connection behaviour set to "WLAN"
DAEMON INFO: smscon_daemon has stopped
SMSCON INFO: smscon_daemon was not running (05-10-2010 21:01:48)
SMSCON INFO: smscon_daemon is running (05-10-2010 21:01:49)

In the init tab it says that "smscon_daemon is already active" as well as "smscon_boot is already active".

Could it be that the conversation inbox desktop widget somehow interferes with the messages? or maybe some other application?Since the tests are working fine, i guess that there is a problem with the recognition of the SMSs...?!?

thx for the support

The log indicates that SMSCON was started with sending a test email (test button function in SMSCON editor pressed), switched to network (GPRS), sended succesfully the test email and SMSCON stopped. Then you stopped it by pressing stop again & then you started it again. Did you after this send a SMS message with the right command to you phone? The log above must show more after the last line you copied.

Have you installed last version (0.5-5) for SMSCON & SMSCON -editor?

n900testa | # 334 | 2010-10-06, 08:04 | Report

Yep i purged (apt-get remove --purge smscon, apt-get remove --purge smscon-editor) everything and reinstalled the new versions.... Before i sent the sms commands, i checked whether smscon is running (smscon -status).

After these loglines there was only one --------- line and then the first four lines again b/c i rebooted the n900 to test it again.
Here are the missing lines:
DAEMON INFO: ---------------------------------------------
DAEMON INFO: successfully loaded "smscon_config" file
DAEMON INFO: reading valid IMSI code (xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) from file
DAEMON INFO: authorized IMSI code found
DAEMON INFO: smscon auto-loads at boot

@ n900testa:

Looks ok to me.

How do you send the SMS command? Is there maybe a 'return' character added to the command text?

n900testa | # 336 | 2010-10-06, 15:04 | Report

No spaces, no new lines, only the command. I also checked the command SMSs that i received that nothing is added automatically.

Edit: A tip for a new release should be that the password under the email settings would be ******, now there are clear text and a kind of security risk...

Next release of SMSCON-editor will be password protected (so nobody but you can see the settings). Due to bug in last release it isn't working yet. Saturn will fix this.

Sounds good

And now I will share the good stuffs:
The app is working perfect here in Sweden, have two N900 and booth are using Telia (Swedens largest).

If you ever wants your app to be translated in the future, then send me a PM. I will be glad to translate it to Swedish ;D

Find the new version of the SMSCON Editor v. 0.6-0 in extras-devel
http://maemo.org/packages/view/smscon-editor/

This version among the other changes brings password protection in opening the editor application.
On the first use use the password 12345 to open, then you can change it if you want.

Since there are plenty of changes I would not propose to all users updating just yet. Please let few power-users to test it first. After we get some feedback, and all look good, we'll promote to extras- testing.

Cumulative updates since the previous version:
* Added password protection for opening the GUI (default password = 12345).
* Added two new dialog windows (to enter and change the password respectively).
* Added new initialisation command to delete the application stored IMSI number.
* Added new initialisation command to delete the configuration stored.
* New sudoers file to include two scripts for handling operations that need root priviledges.
* Removed indirect dependency to rootsh package (i.e. use of root)
* Changed password fields in email and ssh settings to be hidden.
* Changed priviledges for supporting files to be more restrictive.

Some more information/screenshots in the wiki page of SMSCON Editor (not just yet; most probably will update it tomorrow)
