funSMS:
Tips & tricks


Tips & tricks for funSMS, fMML and mobile phones!

If you are able to send messages, but cannot retrieve stored messages from the mobile, then you may
have indicated the wrong storage location in the fMML.
You have a choice between an SIM card and the internal memory.
This enables you to set the desired preference: Pref. / fMML Edit / Mobile Details.

You should note that infrared transmission works best if you place the two devices opposed to each
other at an angle 45°.

Our model for the Nokia 8810 does not always function reliably with infrared.
We have established that:
The ideal distance Palm-Mobile is approx. 20 cm.
Interference during communication caused by the chrome-plated case apperas to be reduced if the
mobile is a little higher (approx. 5 cm) and a little offset (approx. 5 cm). The infrared interface
(menu/infrared/select) remains active for a very short time after being activated.

Ensure that you have installed current firmware (04.05). You can test this by entering *#0000#. The
display disappears when any button is pressed.

In our experience the Ericsson SH 888 functions very reliably with infrared. However, older firmware
versions had the problem that infrared communication hang up, although it functions again as usual
when switched off and on again.

funSMS also works with the Ericsson mobile telephones A1018s, T10s, T18s and all of the line no.
600/700/800 (GSM 900, GSM 1800 and PCS 1900 systems) in conjunction with the accessory
DI27.

Infrared transmission with the Siemens S25 has to be activated in menu 8-2-1 before you can use it.

With the Motorola Timeports 7089 und 7389 it’s possible that a message will retrieve always again. This is due to a fault of the motorola firmware. To solve this problem you switch the mobile off and on.

Sometimes the Ericsson R320s doesn’t show the correct list of the new messages. Also here you can solve the problem by switching the mobile off and on.

If you want to receive and send messages with special characters with the Nokia 7110, please notice that Nokia doesn’t abide to the GSM-Default-Font. Therefore the special characters are not displayed correctly. This problem can not be solved. It appears also when you edit the messages with special characters directly on the mobile.

The operating system Palm OS 3.3 now directly supports infrared. You do not have to install the Palm Inc.
Ir-Enhancements to connect you Palm with your mobile phone via infrared. The fMML supports the
New Serial Manager introduced with Palm OS 3.3.

If you want to paste data from other applications with the clipboard, you can do this with the assistance of the virtual keyboard. There you can access to the functions of the clipboard with the menu ‘Edit’.

If the error message "Cannot create the database SMSDB" or "Die Datenbank SMSDB konnte nicht
erstellt werden" appears, then there is probably an older version of funSMS or PalmSMS installed on
your device. Delete funSMS / PalmSMS and the database SMSDB on the Palm device. Also delete the
database SMSDB on the PC in the backup directory of the PalmDesktop (probably
C:\Palm\Desktop\<UserName>\Backup\).

Background:
The database creator ID was changed between build 10022 and 10023. This is why the older version
must be deleted before the new one is installed. If you did not delete the older version before installing
the new one, you must delete the database SMSDB manually.

We always appreciate receiving reports of your experience.
