I made it work using the script in your rapid$hare file, no need to copy all of erica's utilities in that folder

just in case, this is the script:

PHP Code:

#!/bin/sh
smsnpath=/usr/local/smsnotify
sql=$smsnpath/sqlite3
vibrate=$smsnpath/vibrator
audiofilea=/Library/Ringtones/Sonar.m4r
while test 1
do
n=`$sql /var/root/Library/SMS/sms.db 'select count(*) from message where flags=0'`;
if [ "$n" -gt 0 ]
then
/var/root/bin/playaudio $audiofilea & $vibrate
fi
c=`$sql /var/root/Library/CallHistory/call_history.db 'select count(*) from call where flags=4 and duration=0 and ROWID=(select max(ROWID) from call)'`;
if [ "$c" -gt 0 ]
then
/var/root/bin/playaudio $audiofilea & $vibrate
fi
sleep 120
done 


[edit] It only works when the phone is plugged to the PC or turned on.

^^ mine doesnt work in sleep mode..
have you got any idea what coding will make it work in sleep mode?

I'm having the problem of the modified smsnotify.sh file playing and vibrating every five minutes (300 seconds) when I have NO missed call or a missed text. Of course it works when I do have a missed call or text (cause it's doing the routine every 5 minutes regardless).

I've tried modding the file myself, copying and moving the one from rapid$hare, and copying and pasting the code given in post #21 into a blank smsnotify.sh file.

If I copy the original file back (the stock smsnotify.sh I backed up), it works every 15 seconds for vibrating.

I've even uninstalled both Erica's utilities, then the SMSNotify program and re-installed (Erica's utilities first, then SMSNotify). Still the same issue.

After any change....I always turn off the phone and back on.

Any ideas? I'd love to have this work. It's about the last thing I miss on the iPhone from some of the Nokias I've had (whether it was native ala 6230 or an add on ala N73).

Thanks much!

c=`$sql /var/root/Library/CallHistory/call_history.db 'select count(*) from call where flags=4 and duration=0 and ROWID=(select max(ROWID) from call)'`;

The above statement will return a "1" if you have 1 missed call. It worked!
However, after I acknowledged the missed call (i.e. the bubble on the phone icon goess off), tis statement still returns a "1"???!!! And it keeps vibrates.... Any idea why? What's the flag = 4 means? What abt the duration=0?

Would it be possible for someone to write up a quick tutorial for virgin (ie. no smsnotify or erica's utils installed) iPhone to get the beep working, for missed calls and SMSs? It would only take 5 minutes.

I currently DO have SMSNotify installed (which also means I have BSD Subsystem) but I HATE vibrating, I think it's pointless to vibrate it when it's sitting on my desk and I'm in the other room. Anyway I don't know how to SSH into the phone/edit .sh files etc.etc. on my own but I could follow instructions pretty easily.

I'm just nervous to start poking around without some guidance XD
Thanks!

"and also if your phone is on silent mode then it still makes the noise?"

I would like to know how to determine if the iphone is on silent mode or normal mode to select if sound or vibrate.... I have searched and searched, and nothing found, no Erica utilities to use....nothing...

Of course the script does not work if the iphone is in sleep mode

Any help?

Up!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi,

I have a fresh 114 install (and also use SMSD) so the sms.db resides in /var/mobile/Library/SMS not /var/root/Library/SMS/ and ditto for the call_history.db

If I use the std script from the rapid$hare file i don't get any alerts, presumably due to the path being wrong?

I tried modding the script so that it looks to the /mobile path but upon re-boot the screen constantly flashes with no icons visible (that's all it does!) so i had to ssh into the phone and restore the original file but this means that I still don't get the alerts.

Any ideas? thanks

Create a virtual link

ln -s /var/mobile/Library/SMS /var/root/Library/

Same with the CallHistory

ln -s /var/mobile/Library/CallHistory /var/root/Library/

Hope it works

Thanks very much for the suggestion, I did the following:

ln -s /var/mobile/Library/SMS /var/root/Library/SMS
ln -s /var/mobile/Library/CallHistory /var/root/Library/CallHistory

and the alerts now work. I have stopped using SMSD due to program crash.

For the missed call it's not sufficient just to look at the recent calls (even though this clears the red bubble).To clear the missed call fully and remove the alert you have to touch the missed call in the list and make a call to that person (only has to be for a micro second). This then clears the alert properly.

I also found this link which should help those trying to get it to work on 1.1.4:
