Sms from PC 3.6

Check your WiFi connection.

Check that your phone and computer are connected to the same WiFi network.
Your computer may also be connected by cable directly to the WiFi router.

Restart your computer with the client.

Modern operating systems like Windows 10 and above have changed their behavior if you select "Shut Down" in the menu.
This is not essentially a reboot, but an advanced kind of hibernation. In most cases where there is a problem connecting to the phone, the problem is caused by a glitch in the network drivers.
In order to actually reboot the computer, you have to directly select the "Reboot" option in the power menu.

Enter the network address of the phone in the client manually.

Since version 3.2 it is possible to enter the phone address manually when pairing.
In the phone app, click on the text "currently connected clients" twice in quick succession.
This will open a message with the current address and the port the phone is communicating on.
In the client on the PC, the message "Add phone..." will appear after a moment when no phone can be found with the application running on the network.
Click on it with your mouse and enter the text you got from the phone. For example: "10.0.4.156:60525"

Verify that communication between the phone and the computer is possible.

In the phone app, click on the text "currently connected clients" twice in quick succession.
A message will open with the current address and port on which the phone is communicating. For example: "10.0.4.156:60525"
On your computer, press the Win+R shortcut. Type the command "CMD" and press OK.
Type the command in the newly opened black window: "ping 10.0.4.156", where you edit the text according to what is displayed on your phone. Then press ENTER.
If successful responses from the phone are reported, communication is possible. Try to connect to the phone by manually entering the phone's address, see previous point.
If the connection still fails, the problem is probably with the computer's firewall settings.
If responses from the phone have not arrived, the problem is either in the firewall settings, WiFi router settings, or the computer and phone are on a different network segment.

Try temporarily disabling the firewall.

Note: NEVER turn off the firewall if you are connected to a public network. E.g.
You can only make this attempt if you are connected to a secure corporate network or a home WiFi router.
Type "firewall" in the Windows search box.
Select "check firewall status" and when the configuration opens, select "Turn firewall on or off in Windows Defender.".
After turning off the firewall, try connecting to the phone again. If the connection succeeds, the permanent solution is to specify a firewall rule that will allow communication even if the firewall is turned on.
PS: Some antivirus software implements its own firewall. You can try temporarily disabling them as well.
PS2: Don't forget to turn the firewall and antivirus back on after trying this!

Check your WiFi router settings.

Some routers have security settings that do not allow communication between connected clients.
You can try connecting your computer to the router with a LAN cable, or disable this protection in the router's settings.
Usually this feature is hidden under the names: "WiFi Client Isolation", "Guest Isolation", "Network Isolation"

Verify that you are on the same network segment.

Same network segment means that the first 3 numbers of the IPv4 address assigned by the router are compatible.
On your phone, you can find out the network address by double-clicking on the text "currently connected clients".
On a computer, use the command line "CMD" and the command "ipconfig".

Try again.

In exceptional cases, the connection error may occur due to, for example, instability of the WiFi connection or interference.

Reset the client authorization on your phone.

If you get an error message that your phone has actively rejected the connection, you need to reset the authorization list of allowed phones on your phone by pressing the "Reset Client Authorizations" button.

Change your preferred network protocol settings.

If the communication error occurs more frequently, you can try changing the communication protocol.
Check or uncheck "Prefer IPv6 protocol" in the program configuration on your computer.

Unfortunately no. This confirmation is required by Apple's security policy.

Unfortunately, no. Apple does not allow apps to access incoming messages.

Just drag the desired file with the mouse into the application's text window.
PS: In some cases MS Windows does not allow to drag the file. Most of the time this is due to the application running on the PC under a different user account than the logged in user. Run the application on the PC under the same account.

The main configuration is stored in the config.user_preferences file.
This file is stored in a location that depends on how the application is installed.

In the case of the Windows 7 version, the temporary files and configurations are stored in:
"c:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\SMSFromPClient\config.user_preferences".

In the case of the version installed from the Microsoft Store, they are stored either in the same location as for Windows 7 or in the UWP application data.
"c:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Packages\%app package identifier%\LocalCache\Local\SMSFromPClient".

Yes, it is possible, however we strongly discourage this practice.
In this case, Windows may be missing some follow-up libraries that may limit the functionality of the application.
If there is no other option, it is possible to enable the Windows 7 version by manually changing the configuration file where you need to set the "uwp_warning2_disabled" entry to "true".

Yes, it is possible. You can add a new skin by copying the new skin directory to the "skin\skin_name\skin_name.xml" subdirectory of the client application exe file.
Then just set the skin name manually in the application configuration to the "skin_name" key.
The skin file is in XML-File-Format. The actual skins, including the XSD rule definitions, are stored unzipped with the application distributed via the Microsoft Store in the skin sub-directory.
PS: the entire directory "c:\Program Files\WindowsApps\CIT.CZspol.sr.o.SMSfromPC-Client_...\SMSFROMPCClient" can be copied to another location on disk, and from there you can run your modified copy of the application.
For more information, please contact us.

Yes, it is possible. New language localizations can be added by copying the Localization-XX.resx file to the exe file of the client application, or to the Resources.Text subdirectory.
The XX string represents the language in the two-character ISO abbreviation format. For example, "EN"=English, "CS"=English
The specific language of the application can then be set by manually changing the configuration file. Specifically, the "language" key to the appropriate two-letter code.
