David, thank you so much for your hard work and creativity!! I am a NOVICE at my smartphone. I have a question that is going to seem silly I am sure.. but I downloaded Bubbles.. and have NO clue WHERE to put the files. You tell wonderful instructions on how to take care of problems AFTER the install, but HOW do you install the program. I have MUCH learning to do. Thank you in advance!!

bay,
Try the Download link in the post again .. i’ve updated it to take you directly to the SMS Bubbles download page — before you had to click on the Download link on Saman’s web site.
Thanks

This app is NICE, i got tired of havin to go to my messeges to read all of my text, so thanx for the app much appreciated.

Holy crap. this is the one thing i didn’t like about my blackjack. i hated having to go to messages everytime i got a text. this solved the problem perfectly. thank you sooooo much

By far the most useful application for my Blackjack so far. Until someone comes out with something that cooks me breakfast, this will likely be my favorite for a while.

I love this app… but david, do you know of a timer utility tool…because ive been looking for a timer (like the opp of a stop watch) because i really need one.
July 25th, 2008 at 6:04 am
there is a stopwatch under the “organizer” file.

dan,
im assuming you mean something like an “egg timer” .. im not sure. try posting in the Forums under Applications and see if anyone knows

Works great - thanks! Now, if you could only come up with something that allows for a running text message display. Meaning, if I send you a text and you reply, my original message is not there — just your reply. That is the one thing I do not like about the blackjack. Just converted from blackberry and miss some of its features, including that one…

if the phone is not unlocked will it have a difference cause mine isnt and i dont see ne thing wrong? that i know of

jerdan5,
Nope - if SMSBubbles installs and pups up the notification box when you receive a text then it works. I wouldnt worry about — I mentioned you might have to app unlock your phone in the post because i read in some forums and on the developer’s site that you *may* .. apparently this is not the case all the time.

Landshark, I think what youre talking about is Threaded SMS/Text messages. Yup - i agree. There are a couple commercial product that do this (i dont know how well they do i though) .. The one that comes to mind is called ExtremeThread ($15 i think) .. If you can hold out for the Windows Mobile 6.1 Update that comes with Threaded Messaging built in (*should* be released sometime this year)

The sms bubble pops up as it should but when I hit the left soft key (SaveRead) the message goes away, not sure where? The SMS notification also shows no messages.
August 16th, 2008 at 9:49 pm
jmatsoc,
its working exactly as it should. SaveRead marks the message as Read and keeps it in your normal Messages list (where all your Text/SMS messages go). The SMS Notification shows no messags because you’ve read the message and marked it as such.

Thank you. Beautiful work on the site!

Were Exactly Do You Copy The Files, And Do They Have To Be In One Folder Or Not?
September 14th, 2008 at 7:37 pm
Hey all, I have a simple question and help would be appreciated.
So I get Multimedia messages that I like to keep (Mark as unread) I have 13 messages at all times. And when my bubble comes up, it just says you have 14 new messages (15, 16 etc) Is there a way to make it so it shows the newest message I get. say:
Timmy,
Hey man whats up?
instead of just 14 new messages?

lilvolume - I dont think that is an option in SMSBubbles. Try e-mail the guy that created it at: saman@saman-cz.com … You might try donating a couple bucks to him to see if that greases the wheels any (even a $2-3 dollar donation will make you feel appreciated and more likely to give alittle more back) .. Click here to donate to SMS Bubbles.

The quickest and easiest way to download a CAB file is simple.
-download CAB file to a folder on your computer that you perfer
-after downloading locate CAB file on your computer and right click, scroll down to “send to”
-select _____’s smartphone documents
-let the computer sync the file to your BlackJack II
-now on your BJ II go to Start/File Explorer/My Device/My Documents/
-then select your CAB file you wish to install and install

I apologize, I meant the quickest and easiest way to download and install a CAB file. Downloading a CAB file doesn’t require instructions. Sorry and hope everyone enjoys their BJ II’s.

hello david,
I have installed this app and i can see it in my start menu, but no bubbles pop up when i receive a txt……i was wondering …is something wrong in my setting or something?
September 30th, 2008 at 7:22 pm
alphasierra, Go to Programs > SMSBubbles Setting - Make sure “Show Bubbles” is selected.
Also - what version of Windows Mobile OS are you running?
October 1st, 2008 at 9:14 am
yea…i had selected “Show Bubbles” yet it didn’t work…..im using Windows Mobile 6.1..
October 1st, 2008 at 4:01 pm
alpha,
Try uninstalling and re-installing it .. it should work straight from the install without any changing of settings.
