SMS Accelerator for the E61
There’s an “SMS Accelerator” app that appeared on the E61 downloads page at Nokia. Russ mentioned it last night, and then I got a comment on my post from last night from Techmundo (great site!) recommending it. I’ve definitely seen sending SMS take a long time on the E61, but I assumed it was network problems.
So I have to follow suit and ask what everyone else is asking. What is this thing? What does it do? How does it “accelerate the sending of SMS”? Sometimes stuff like this ends up being a perception fix. The app pulls the SMS out of the outbox and holds it in another queue so that you don’t see the little outbox tray icon, making the user think that the SMS has been sent faster. That I really don’t want. However, if it’s a fix to the way the networking is handled so that an SMS is prioritized ahead of other traffic and activities that could block sending, perfect. Anyone know?

I think it optimize SMS sending buffer handling in phone so that messages to be sended faster to network.

[...] Slowness? SLOWNESS? It’s a product fault. A priority one. I mean, seriously - you could at least try to make a big deal out of it. People are having trouble with this everywhere. (One person mentioned not receiving messages until the phone was restarted. That’s a different bug, when the Messaging app crashes and doesn’t automatically restart.) [...]

It’s shocking, must be one of Nokia’s worst everphones, and then they have the nerve to call it the best business phone on the market? I want to return the phone back to them in pieces so that they can try again?

I used the same download on my E70 and it works great. I thought (perhaps from my conversations with Nokia and Motorola engineers) that the SMS slowlness “after lots of messages” was a sort of a ‘cache clearing’ issue. Basically, resources allocated to SMS not being cleaned up properly. This download fixes that — and in my opinion — seems to have fixed it properly, not with smoke and mirrors. Now my only delays in messages are with multimedia, and those seem to be server related (Cingular - Verizon)
