The MOBILedit! Appearance

MOBILedit! has been designed for a maximally intuitive control. The majority ofcomponents are based on contemporary usage standards coupled with the mostmodern design. For a complete control of the program, extensive learning it is notnecessary. At the same time, the design of MOBILedit! offers a powerful control of allpotential current and future mobile phone functions.

On the left side there is the panel of Shortcutsfor a quick control. Beside it is theDevicetree, where you will find the list of all devices, data and plug-in applications.On the right side there is a data view, where you can work with all phone data (suchas phonebook, messages, calls) and MOBILedit! applications (such as Dialer,Chess).

Toolbars

MOBILedit! contains two standard toolbars; the Main toolbar and the Edit toolbar.Additionally, at the bottom you will note a status bar with useful current information.Each application can show its own toolbar, which is usually on the right side. It ispossible to move all toolbars to your desired location, resize them, add or removecommands and change their configuration.

Commands could be called up from the toolbars, from the context menu (accessibleby a right mouse click) or in the standard way, in the main menu where new itemsspecific to the current data view appear. For example, for the view of the phonebook,

you will note the items Phonebook and Action in the main menu.


13/31


Standard Operations

We implemented the maximum from the latest software design standards. Thesefunctions will help to speed up your productivity and make working within theMOBILedit! framework much easier.

Renaming an itemis done in the same way as in the Windows Explorer, bypressing F2. In-place editing is also possible by right clicking an item and choosingRename.

Selecting multiple itemsis the same as in Windows, by pressing Ctrl and clickingon the individual items. To select multiple items in a row, simply hold down the Shiftkey and press the down arrow. This can speed up your productivity substantially,rather than selecting one item at a time.

Context menu: right clicking on any item will bring up a new context menu withadditional options specific for the selected item. No need to look further for what youseek, simply right click to get to the desired option.

Shortcuts

The left most column is where you will find shortcuts. You can define your ownshortcuts to certain phones, data or functions. Shortcuts will dynamically appear anddisappear in accordance with the phones connected. Create a shortcut by rightclicking on the desired item in the Device tree, for example Phonebook.

Devices

The device tree will display all of your data resourceslike connected devices, offline devices, backups,archive, internet access and also new applications.These are displayed hierarchically as data belonging toa certain place. You can also hide the Device tree;doing so you will get a simpler look of MOBILedit! andyou can control it only by the shortcuts then. This isrecommended for beginners.

All devices can be renamed to a new, more suitablename, which perfectly identifies your device. Forexample, you can set the name Veronicas phone for

your wifes phone. You can even associate a specificpicture with the phone using theAssign picture function,which is in the context menu (right mouse click). In thesame way, you can rename SIM cards or smart cardreaders.

Connected Devices

This folder displays all connected devices and datasources. When you launch MOBILedit!, your phone willbe detected automatically within several seconds. It is

necessary to have the connection type and the correctmodel of phone set already (in File Settings).


14/31


Your Outlook contacts will also be displayed here along with any smart card readersand SIM cards. You can have more than one phone connected simultaneously andwork with them at the same time.

Offline Devices

This folder contains data from offline devices that were connected in the past. If thephone is disconnected, MOBILedit! moves its data into the Offline folder with theaccompanying data. Thanks to this, you will always have these automatically backedup data at your disposal. If you happen to lose your phone you can access and useoffline data. This is extremely advantageous in many other situations, say forexample, you want to send an SMS or dial a phone number stored in a differentphone.

Of course, all data in this back up folder is read-only and cannot be changed. You willnote that it is distinguishable by the darker color of whole view. If you do not want tostore all previously connected phone data in the Offlinefolder, check the option

Remove data when disconnected (do not store offline data)in File-Settings menu.

After connecting your phone, the offline data is replaced by the actual data from theconnected phone. This means that if you delete data in your phone, your offline datawill be automatically deleted as well after connecting the phone. We recommenddoing backups from time to time.

Backups

This is where any data from devices that you have backed up will be saved. Themost important is that the data remains here and isnt rewritten, unlike the offlinedata. You can also maintain many backup files for one phone; backups are labeled

by their date and time. Data in the Backupfolder can be primarily restored to theiroriginal data source, copied to connected data sources, or exported to supportedformats. By using the context menu in Backups, you get access to Restore, Import,Export and other functions. These functions are also accessible from the main menu.

MOBILedit! also automatically stores the phones identification numbers (IMEI). Incase you lose your phone, it is possible to use this information to block the phone, oras an identifying factor when placing a claim.

How to backup

Backup is a useful function to save your valuable data like contacts and SMSmessages from your mobile phone and SIM card. If you loose your phone, you stillhave your contacts safely stored in MOBILedit! Making a backup is very simpleprocess. There are three ways how to make a backup of your connected device:


15/31


Select a device and then justclick on the Backupbutton inmain toolbar.

Click on the name of device inthe Device tree and then inmenu Device select Backup..

Right click on the name ofdevice in the Device tree andselect Backupfrom the menu.

After you click on Backup, a new window will appear, where you can select specificdata (e.g. Phonebook, SMS, Files) you want to store. When the Backupis done,you'll see a summary window with all results and the backup of your connecteddevice will be created in the Backupsfolder.

COMPELSON Archive

This folder contains archived items such as SMS messages sent from MOBILedit! oritems archived by the To Archivebutton. Pushing the button To Archivewhile in theSMS message view will move the message from your phone to the Inboxsubfolder ofCompelson Archivefolder. All SMS messages sent from MOBILedit! are depositedinto the Sent itemsfolder. If you delete messages, they will be automatically movedto the Deleted itemsfolder, where you can manually delete them forever, or they willbe deleted upon your next MOBILedit! restart - the concept is similar as in theWindows trash bin.


16/31


Phonebook

The first time you open the Phonebookit reads and displays the complete list ofcontacts stored in the mobile phone. MOBILedit! has the differential synchronizationimplemented, which means it is reading only changed or new items, the readingprocess is much faster. This function is only available in the most modern of phones.

If you suddenly want to read the list again, simply click on the Readbutton in theMain toolbar. The SIM cards phonebook is located in the SIM cardfolder. Changesyou make will be depicted in red and made only in MOBILedit!s memory, not withinthe phone itself. To write changes to the phone, just press Write. If you accidentallyforget to write them to the phone, you will be prompted prior to closing the program.You can use the multi-level Undofunction.

Contacts can be sorted by phone numbers or names by simply clicking on the headerof the appropriate column. The Indexcolumn, maximal length of names and other

phonebook options are supported only by certain phones. SIM phonebooks generallycontain the Index column, however, modern phones have all contacts in memoryalphabetized and dont use the index. If there is no index, then the functions UpandDownfor changing the order of contacts are not available.

If you want to place the newitem between existing contacts, use theInsertbutton (this works only for indexed

lists).

click the Internationalization button. A new editingwindow pops up, you can choose entire phonebookor just a given range of items, whichever you wantto change.

The My country codeis the international telephonecode of your domestic country. The To call abroad is the number you have to dial tomake an international call (this varies by countries; it is for example 00, 11 or 19 etc).For example, to call the USA from abroad, you must dial 001, where 00 is To callabroad item and 1 is the country code for USA.


18/31


Filters

A powerful filtering agent is available in MOBILedit! You can enter part of a name ora number and the filter depicts only contacts containing the given text. Queries aremade by well known powerful tool: regular expression (e.g. from operating systems).In short, character * represents whichever number of whichever characters,character ? represents exactly one any character. The filter can be switched on fora given range.

The Following query finds all Johns in Prague:

Mask name:*john*

Mask number:+4202

Phones dont allow editing or deleting call data.


21/31


Working with multimedia files

MOBILedit! can manage files stored in a modern mobile phone. You can easily copyfiles from the computer to the phone or vice versa. For example, you can easily savephotographs taken by the phones camera, recordings, MP3s, multimedia and otherfiles too. MOBILedit! also works with compatible memory cards used in mobilephones. If there are any limitations, these are due to the limits of the phonemanufacturer (for example, blocked access to Java applications, etc.)

Files can be copied with the help of the Copy Tofunction (from the phone to anotherplace) and Copy from (to the phone). These buttons are recommended in particularfor copying large files. You also have the option to transfer files with the help ofdrag&dropand functions of the clipboard (the file isnt copied to the clipboard, only itspath).

It is possible to copy or delete more files at once including folders and their contents.


22/31


Text messages

The SMS folder serves to send text messages, furthermore it contains subfolders inwhich text messages saved in the phone are stored:

Inbox messages stored in the phone and on the SIM card

Sent sent messages

Drafts saved messages

When one of these folders is selected for the first time the appropriate messages areread from the phone or SIM card. If a message is received when the phone isconnected to a PC, MOBILedit! displays it interactively. This way you can read themessage without touching the phone, you can also immediately delete it, answer it,or move it to the archive using the buttons. MOBILedit! automatically searchesthrough the Phonebook when processing a message and adds a name saved in thePhonebook to the phone number of each received message (consequently loadingthe message might take longer). This way you can see not only the phone numberbut also the sender of all messages.

By clicking the right mouse button one of the possible views of the message can beselected:

Preview only displays the sender and full text of the message.

List only displays part of the text but also detailed information on it, e.g. date and time

of reception, sender and index. This view also allows sorting the messages byclicking the appropriate column header. Then you can easily read message receivedfrom a specific sender; the messages are additionally arranged by the date sent.

Using the function buttons you can reply or forward the message. You can also dialthe senders phone number or copy it into your Phonebook. To free up the phoneSMS memory, click on the button To Archiveand move the message from yourphone to the archive folder stored in your PC.

Writing a message

To write a message just click the main folder named SMS; a dialog shown at theimage pops up. In the To...line you can directly insert a phone number or, afterclicking the To...button, you can easily select numbers from a list supporting full textsearch entering any part of name is sufficient. You can make selections not onlyfrom the phonebook of the phone currently connected, but also from all phonebookssaved in the Backup and in the Offline folder. As you send a message it normallydisappears, it reappears using the Undo function and you can send to anotheraddressee.

MOBILedit! also supports multiple messagingwhen the message is sent to allnumbers selected from the phonebook. The following way is indeed more useful for

multiple messaging.


23/31


Switch in the Phonebookand mark all contacts you want to message. You can alsodo so using a filter or contact sort. Then click the SMSbutton in the toolbar. You willbe automatically switched into the SMS folder having all addressees filled in the To...box. This box is shortened in the preview, although you might not see all contacts,they are in there, just click the To...button to see them. This way you can also extendyour selection by adding more contacts from other phones or SIM cards whether

currently connected or not.

Message length

When writing a message MOBILedit! counts its length and displays the number ofcharacters written and number of sections the message will be split in. Phonenumbers and contacts from the phonebook can easily be inserted in the text usingthe Insert numberbutton. Buttons for a fast smileinsert are also available. If you findout your message is too long when writing it, youll appreciate a useful function of textcompression that makes it shorter. It has two levels: the first one Compressremoves

multiple character spacing, e.g. spacing after a comma or period. The second level ofcompression, UltraCompressionremoves all character spacing from the text and


24/31


divides words by capital letters. If you receive a message edited this way you caneasily unpack it using the Decompresscommand.

Message characteristics

Before sending a message you can set its expiration period and the option ofdisplaying it on the recipients screen only, without saving. You can request ananswer or a status request (this functions depend on its correct support by yourphone and network operator). If the text of the message contains characters thatcant be converted to a character set supported by phone (e.g. diacritics characters),the program notices this and asks whether to remove the diacritics. You can alsoinitiate this by the Convert button.

Incoming messages

In the message settings you can pick an action to be carried out by MOBILedit! whena message is received. The selection includes an immediate display of the messagein a new window, shown by a flashing window in your Taskbar if the MOBILedit!window is minimized. You can also select a notice of an incoming message as aflashing envelope symbol in the system bar. This is carried out in message settings.

Message settings

25/31


SIM

Here the information stored on the SIM card is available. The SIM card can benamed. When MOBILedit! detects it in other phones, you get comprehensibleinformation about which SIM card it is (some phones dont support this). After clickingon the SIMfolder, detailed information about the SIM card will be shown, but not all isaccessible by the phone. If you are interested in all available items, we recommendyou get a smart card reader MOBILedit! is able to work with them, because itincludes SIMedit! functionality. You can find a wide range of smart card readers onwww.compelson.com

On the SIM card, different data accessible in subfolders are available:

SIM Phonebook, which is obviously single level. Unlike aphonebook in modern phones, SIM cards dont supportmore contact information to just one name. Its way of

editing is the same as the main phonebook editing.Last dialed numbersinclude data, if phone stores themhere, which is dependent on the specific phone model andthe data can differ from the data saved in phone memory.

Fixed dialing numbers

Its a special safety list in which you can save phone numbers and switch the SIMcard in the phone into a mode, when only these numbers are available to dial. Auser wouldnt be able to make calls on other numbers. This will prevent children fromusing the mobile phone for unsuitable purposes. To write into this list you have toenter the PIN2 code. TheActivated attribute shows if the card is in safety mode of

fixed numbers. The same functions are available for work with this list as for thestandard phonebook.

SMS

The same facts as in the SMS section apply to these folders but the difference is thatthese messages are stored on a SIM card.


26/31


Internal files and folder structure

MOBILedit! defines some new types of files:

.mobapp-these files contain plug-in applications which can be started in the

MOBILedit! environment. The majority of functions in MOBILedit! are provided bysuch applications. MOBILedit! can be easily extended with new functions by addingnew .mobapp files.

.mobdrv-these are MOBILedit! drivers for control the specific types of phones thatare consistently being added. These files are not Windows drivers, but MOBILedit!internal drivers, running in normal application mode.

.mobskin-these are files with graphical skins.

The main folder where MOBILedit! is installed contains the kernel of the system,

binary and data files. You can find there these folders:Mobile applications- contains the installed mobile applications

Mobile drivers- contains the individual drivers.

Mobile phones contains graphic files of the particular phone models. Here you canplace your own images. Keeping the proper file name, which is based on the phonemodel name, you can change an image for a particular model. However, the functionAssign pictureis more convenient and allows you to distinguish different pieces ofthe same model (based on the phone serial number).

Skins- contains the files of .mobskin shown in Settings

Tips

The Undo operation

MOBILedit! offers modern operations known from other professional software. Youcan undo changes of the phonebook. If you send an SMS, the message normallydisappears; the undo function can retrieve it, make it reappear enabling it to beresent.

Copying contacts between phones

You can easily copy data to the clipboard. Choose contacts from another phone, SIMcard or Outlook, copy them to the clipboard, choose the target phone and then clickPaste. The new contacts are depicted in red.

Another method is convenient for more items. First, mark the contact by clicking the

Mark button, then select Copy To and choose the target device and list.The third way to do this is using a drag&drop. This way you can move contacts to adesired destination by dragging them while holding down the left mouse key.Releasing the key drops the contacts into a selected folder.

Be careful about the Save and Exportfunctions. Depending on the format usednot all the data might be included in the saved file. We recommend the abovementioned methods to be used to copy contacts.

Copying contacts into other applications

You can easily export selected contacts into other applications, e. g. MS Word,Excel, notepad and others. Just copy them into the clipboard (Ctrl+C), switch to thetarget application and paste them (Ctrl+V).

You can also drop a selected contact or group into the target application using thedrag&dropmethod.
