Multi Message Pro Faq
Multi Message Pro is very simple to use.
Simply type into the "Enter Your Text" box and tap the "Tap To Send Message" drawer.
Then tap the "Send Text / IM" button to launch messaging with your text pre-filled via SMS or IM, or tap the "Send E-Mail" button to launch the E-mail application. You can send your message and go back to Multi Message Pro and do it again, as many times as you'd like as long as you keep the application open, the same text will pre-fill the messages.
Multi Message Pro supports Full, Unlimited, E-MAIL GROUPS (Lists), and SMS GROUP, (Lists) TEXT MESSAGING!!! Plus all the features you love in Multi Message Lite. Send Text messages or E-Mails to a Group, Individually, Multiple Groups, swipe to delete groups and members, tap and hold to reorder members. Just remember to Tap "Save" to save any change in the "Manage SMS (or E-Mail) Group" scene, and / or tap "Save SMS (or E-Mail) Group" in the "Edit SMS (or E-Mail) Group" scene if you make any changes there.
Remember! With one tap from the main scene, an attachment / message / Quick Text is automatically included to an entire SMS (or E-Mail) Group or multiple SMS (or E-Mail) Groups or tap one of the SMS (or E-Mail) GROUP members in the "Edit SMS (or E-Mail) Group" scene to individually text or e-mail any member. The Photo attachment / message / Quick Text, is also included. The number of recipients per Text message could be restricted by your cellular carrier. You can test this by opening the native Palm messaging application and attempting to add and send a text to as many recipients as you can.
You can attach a Photo or File by tapping the "Tap to Attach" drawer which reveals two buttons:
1) Tap "File" and choose any file to attach to an e-mail, send that file as many times as you want, this comes in handy when you want to send the same E-mail to some people but do not want to include all recipients E-mail addresses in the same e-mail, for instance when sharing photos with two sides of a family that do not necessarily get along with each other.
2) Tap "Photo" to choose a photo once and send it as many times as you want via Text or E-mail, great for when you want to share the same photo with some people via Text and others via E-mail, especially since cell phone carriers limit you to sending a single photo with messaging. You can then tap "Remove Attachment" or tap "Photo" or "File" again to choose a different photo or file.
Quick Texts in Multi Message Pro: Simply tap the "Quick Text" command button on the lower left hand side of the main scene. This brings you to the Quick Text edit scene. Tap the "Edit Quick Text" header on the top and choose one of the default quick texts. Then enter whatever you want, (up to 160 characters in length, and 20 Quick Texts in total), into the text box. Simply back swipe and the quick text is automatically saved. Then, in the main scene view, simply tap the "Mulit Message Pro" header and choose your quick text from the list. It will automatically be used if you then send an SMS message or e-mail.
Backing up your Groups is fairly straight forward and if you are comfortable with copying and renaming files from your Palm device to your desktop or laptop computer, you can very easily make copies of your Group Database file for safe keeping and restoration at a later date. This means that you could also theoretically keep different copies of this database and swap / load them as you wish. If you are not sure how to connect your Palm device to your computer to transfer files, you can view the Palm Pre Plus user manual by clicking on "User Guides and other materials" HERE, which is the same basic procedure for all Palm webOS devices such as the Pre, Pre Plus, Pixi currently. You should at the very least familiarize yourself with the information starting on page 43 regarding "Copy files between your phone and your computer". Remember, the worst case scenario is that you lose the Groups you created, yes, it will take time to manually recreate them and is a bit tedious, however, it's not the end of the world because the application is designed to always recreate this file if it does not exist or is incorrect. We certainly do suggest you attempt this back up procedure when you are satisfied that you have created groups to your liking, giving you peace of mind if there is a problem with your phone requiring you to erase it fully. The procedure is only a couple of steps and once you get the hang of it, its really simple, we will provide a detailed description below, and the tutorial with screen shots is located on our homepage HERE

Multi Message Pro Backup / Restore Procedure V1.0.0

1) Create the Groups and add contacts / members with Multi Message Pro.

2) Connect your Palm device to your computer using the USB cable. If you are not familiar with this procedure you can view the Palm Pre Plus user manual HERE

IMPORTANT: All files that you store on the USB drive of your phone are not backed up to your Palm profile, and they cannot sync to any of your online accounts. So be sure to keep a copy of all such files somewhere besides your phone just in case you lose your phone or you must do a full erase of the info on your phone.

Remember:

When your phone is in USB Drive mode, incoming calls go to voicemail; you can't make calls or use any other application until you complete step 5 below.

3) On a Windows computer, if the Found New Hardware wizard opens, click Cancel to close the wizard.

4) Open My Computer (Windows XP), Computer (Windows Vista/ Windows 7), or the Finder (Mac), double-click the drive representing your phone, and drag and drop files to your phone. The drive displays folders that you can use to organize the files you copy. You can also create your own folders.

5) On a Windows computer, to end the connection safely, right-click the drive representing your phone and click Eject. On a Mac computer, from your desktop, drag the drive representing your phone to the Trash. Trash changes to Eject.

6) Disconnect the USB cable from the computer.

Use USB Drive mode to delete files from your phone. You can delete any file you added to your phone, whether you copied it from a computer, downloaded it from an email message, and so on.

Use the following procedure for creating Backup copies of your Multi Message Pro Groups Database and restoring your backup of the database.

1) Connect your phone to your computer using the USB cable. Windows: If Found New Hardware messages appear on your computer, cancel Then:

2) On your phone, tap USB Drive.

3) On your computer, open the drive representing your phone.

4) Some files / folders in the "Palm" drive are hidden by default, you will need to change your computer settings so that you can view the folder where your Multi Message Pro database is located.

5) The database file is located in the folder called ".app-storage".

6) Open this folder to view the folders or files and look for a folder called "file_.media.cryptofs.apps.usr.palm.applications.com.jackpot.multimessagepro_0"

7) This is the folder where the Multi Message Pro Database file is located.

8) Each time you delete and re-install the app, it will create a new file in this folder with a new name, it is usually named something with many zeros in the front of it and a .db at the end.

9) For example an actual file could be named 0000000000000238.db.

10) The first time you follow this procedure there will be only one file in this folder.

11) You can simply copy and paste this file and name it whatever you like for the future and put it on your computer somewhere. You could also leave it on your device but then the possibility still exists that your backup of the database could be erased from your phone which makes this procedure pointless.

12) So you copy and paste the Multi Message Pro Database file wherever you want and name it whatever you want. Just remember where you put it for the future.

13) At any point in time, you can follow steps 1-10 to connect your Palm device to your computer and navigate to where the actual Database file being used by Multi Message Pro is located, and either perform another copy and past (Backup) or perform the actual restoration of your SMS Groups Database that you have saved.

14) All you have to do is copy your Groups Database file to the folder where the actual current Database file being used by Multi Message Pro is located, (we also recommend making another copy of this currently used Database file just in case), Take note of the name of the currently used Database file because it will change each time the app is deleted and re-installed, and you will have change your backup or the Groups Database file to this name exactly. We recommend you simply highlight the actual name of the currently used Database file, copy this name, (control + C or right click your mouse and click copy), then paste this copied name into a Word document to make sure you do not loose it. Then delete the actual currently used Database file and rename your Groups Database file to the same exact name that you copied, (the easiest way is to just highlight your database name and paste the correct file name).

IF YOU HAVE DELETED MULTI MESSAGE PRO and RE-INSTALLED FRESH

The process above is completely correct with the following difference:

1) Upon a new installation of Multi Message Pro, open the application on your phone once, so that a new blank Database is created.

2) Then you can follow the procedure above except that you do not need to follow steps 11-13.

That's all that is involved in Backing up and restoring your Multi Message Pro Groups Database. Now you can safely disconnect your device following the instructions below:

Windows: When you're ready to disconnect, right-click the drive representing your phone and click Eject.

Mac: From your desktop, drag the drive representing your phone to the Trash. Trash changes to Eject.

Disconnect the USB cable from the computer when the USB Drive screen is no longer displayed on your phone.
