[Dhis2-users] Blackberry

2013-10-26 Thread Knut Staring 
Though all the attention in the smartphone business seems to be on iPhone
and Android (and a little bit on Nokia and Windows Phone), Blackberries are
still widely popular in many countries, both because many people like
physical QWERTY keyboards, but also because they often provide superior
connectivity (since I personally don't have one I'm curios to whether this
is really the case in rural areas - input would be welcome).

So it may be of interest in certain settings to use Blackberries as modems

Alternatively, like any smartphone they can of course access our HTML5
solution (has anyone tried that?) and also run native apps, e.g. with
Phonegap:
http://docs.phonegap.com/en/2.1.0/guide_getting-started_blackberry_index.md.html

Would be interesting to hear what people think. Is this an important niche?

Re: [Dhis2-users] DHIS SMS Gateway

2013-10-26 Thread Knut Staring 
The plain SMS solution is somewhat limited when it comes to specifying
period. By default, if you don't specify anything, it will take the
previous period, which in your case would be the year 2012.

You can also specify a date in the format ddMM, e.g. 3012 for December
30th. Since this date has not yet occurred in 2013, it would again be
interpreted as the year 2012. However, if you wanted to report for 2013,
you could put in any date before today, e.g. 0110. So if your command is
"malaria", the full message would be something like "malaria 0110 a44 b 29
c3 e3".

There currently is no way to use plain SMS to report data more than a year
back. Do you have a real use case for that, or is this just a theoretical
question?

Re: [Dhis2-users] [Dhis2-devs] sms gateway for android

2013-10-26 Thread Lars Kristian Roland 
Mobile terminated (DHIS to SMS) works if the android is on a wifi ip that
dhis2 has access to.

For mobile originated (from mobile to dhis), it is simpler.  Only needs
internet with http access to the server, so server could be in cloud.

Re: [Dhis2-users] [Dhis2-devs] sms gateway for android

2013-10-26 Thread Jason Pickering 
This looks like a useful tool. Is it possible to use this as a means of
sending SMSes which are sent from the DHIS2 server via the local network
(to which the android device is connected)? It would seem you would need a
public IP to do this, but if the android is somehow connected to the DHIS2
server, I guess there is no means to "push" these messages directly to the
Android device. I do not think any device is going to have a public IP.

Regards,
Jason
