TreoProc sends out a simple text message for ignored (receiver terminates without accepting the call) or missed (caller terminates or the ringing times out) voice calls. TreoProc also has functionality to detect a SIM change in your Treo and send out an SMS to a predefined number with the replaced SIM details. It then locks the Treo and makes it inoperable.
Operation
Invoking TreoProc from the Preferences Panel will display the TreoProc Preferences form. The options are self-explanatory. The "Mobiles only" feature depends on your Contacts database to identify Mobile phone numbers (includes both "Mobiles" and "Main" phone numbers). The Confirm "Cancel" option may be used in case you want the default to be "Cancel" instead of "Send" after the time-out.
However, the "SMS on SIM Change" option requires some care as it may lock down the device. If TreoProc locks your device, don't panic. Unlock with System Password and everything will be set back to normal operation. In case you want to completely remove TreoProc, disable, warm reset and uninstall TreoProc.
From v1.1b3, TreoProc is integrated with the Treo System Security settings. The "SMS on SIM Change" options are visible only when the system "Current Privacy" is set to "Show Records." Other call handling options will remain visible. The "Enable TreoProc" checkbox is enabled only if the system privacy settings allow. You need to change the privacy settings to the highest level ("Show Records") to disable/ enable TreoProc. The "Change Security" box will pop-up in case you exit TreoProc at the highest security level. This gives you an option to reset security levels while exiting TreoProc.
Please note that TreoProc will turn the radio on automatically after a reset when it is enabled. Be careful in areas where mobile phones are prohibited.
Using TreoProcDBUtil.PRC
Optionally, you can use TreoProcDBUtil.PRC (this is a Palm application and is visible in the Launcher) to generate a TreoProc settings database (filename: PhnSecDB.PDB). You can build a custom ROM with this database and TreoProc.PRC for fool-proof security. In case somebody hard-resets the device, the settings are read from this file and the SMS will be sent-out to the designated number. Note that this database also stores your specified System Password in encrypted form. You will require this to unlock your device. It is recommended that you build PhnSecDB even if you do not want a custom ROM as a back-up for your settings.
Any changes you make with TreoProc from the preferences panel will override the database settings, the database settings are used only if you have a custom ROM installed AND the device is hard reset, or your Saved Preferences are lost for any reason.
Once you build the PDB database, you should delete TreoProcDBUtil.PRC from your device, as it is no longer required. It is recommended that you build the ROM only after purchasing and registering your TreoProc license.
Use every care when using TreoProcDBUtil. I will not be responsible for any malfunction or loss due to use of this feature.
Limitations of TreoProc
TreoProc will NOT work on CDMA Treos.
TreoProc can register only one SIM card (for now), so you are out of luck if you use multiple SIM cards.
While TreoProc allows you to specify any combination of letters and numbers in the "SIM #:" field, you should give an accurate phone number capable of receiving SMSs. No error checking is done on any specified values to keep the PRC tiny. (This may change in the future).
Any knowlegeable user can circumvent the "SMS on SIM Card Changed" feature. Palm OS itself does not offer too many hooks for protection in this regard. It is the hope that by the time the "user" finds out what has happened, the (incriminating) SMS will be sent out.
· TreoProc is a fresh and straightforward implementation using published Palm SDK API calls and notifications. It uses NO tricks, shortcuts or undocumented features to process calls.
· TreoProc DOES NOT hook-up to the dreaded "hede", "hvch", or any of the other performance-draining notifications. You can check this with PalmInternals.
· TreoProc does not interfere with any other software (esp. ringtones, picture Caller ID, etc.) installed on your Treo.
· Does not have the "seven-SMSs-on-power-down" problem that sometimes occured with other, similar software.
· Tiny PRC (< 11 KB), fast call processing even while using the lowest priority notifications internally.
· 30 days (or approximately 5000 calls) trial
What's New in This Release:
· More robust forms and callback handling.
