Hi, I'm trying to send a binary SMS (si) to non-standard ports (50000/50000). Later there will be an application running on the phone so I can't use standard ports. I just wanted to see what the phone does when there's no application. While the all the Nokia devices I checked seem to ignore the SMS since there is no application registered for port 50000, the Sony Ericsson W800i/K750i show the content as text - or at least try to do so. Does anybody know how to avoid this for the SE devices? Thanks in advance, Dirk | |||

Hi Dirk, I can verify what you're describing, I have an application that I wake via sms, and for Nokia 6680, Nokia 6230i, Nokia 6100 (and Samsung 990 don't remember almost sure) if sent to wrong port the phone will ignore the message, but on Sony W800i (and Motorola V3 don't remember again, almost sure, don't have all the phones with me) the phone will show the message as plain text. I belive it is a behavior of the operating system and you cannnot change it. I had a problem with Sony W800i for some time that it refused to download the application when I specified in the JAD MIDlet-Push for sms. I figured out that it is an issue with resevered ports, but couldn't find which port to use. Your question helped me, as now with 50000 it works. But now I have the problem that when sending with Simplewire the destination port is specified as short so it is -15536 which I suspect Simplewire translate to 0. Anyway the sms doesn't wake the application on the phone. How did you find which port to use, do you know what is the exact range? | |||

Hi again, I'm replying to myself (to other with same problem). The port 16100 works fine. And I manage to sign the MIDlet with a Verisign certificate so that it receives the sms, wake up the MIDlet without asking the user for confirmation and connecting to the internet to fetch more info from the server again without prompting the user. bye, Shmulik | |||
