Some newbie questions - MDA, XDA, 1010 General

These might be some dumb questions, but after some searching I can't seem to find the answers.
1. Answered.
2. If this is an XDA I am I corrent in understanding there is no camera attachment for that model?
3. I use T-Mobile and have e-mail forwarding vis SMS for an e-mail account. How do I get it to give me an alert tone when a message arrives? I can't seem to find this option.
4. If my pocket PC version says 3.0.12039 does that mean I have 2003?
5. Does XDA I have bluetooth?
Thanks in advance for the help.

2. Yes there is a SD Camera for XDA I ... check Expansys.com
3. Setting -> Personal -> Sounds & Notifications -> Notifications -> event = New E-mail Message
4. No, WM2003 usually starts with 4.20xxx
5. No

Thanks for the response.
What is the best earpiece you have found for the XDA I? I have just the standard one that came with it, but I would like something a little easier to use.

Caller Display

HI,
My XDA only shows the number of who is calling and not the name. Anyone know how to fix this?
need to add to your contact list
Please... that is not an informative answer.
There is a piece of software you need to download. Unfortunately I do not have the URL, but I believe if you search this forum it has been posted before.

Martin
Thanks guys
I think xchange had given enough information. I didn't need any Software to see the callers name.
Just have to sync your XDA with your PC or add the contacs manualy to your XDA and it will be shown on calling.
If you want to see the name at incoming SMS you need a little bit of Software. It's called SMS__Name from Paragon. It can be downloaded for free. Just search the frum to find the link / Instructions....
Regards
Stefan
I agree its simple as Xchange said no need for additional software its a minor setting in the XDA.

Sorry. I misread - I thought this was about SMS

PC SMS Software

Does anyone know of some software that will send sms on my pc through my xda when it is in the sync cradle?
Cheers
Jas
I don't know about sending through your xda but just send an email to the phone number @mobile.att.net or @tmomail.net
i.e [email protected]
Att and Tmobile are the only sms gateways I know. I'm sure they all have one though. - Jim
There is a new product called CoolSMS (or is it SMS Cool???). I saw it last week on Handango.
I've tried it, it works in that u can sync the sms in your inbox and type the SMS on your PC and sent it through the O2. But as most 1.0 version there a few quirks, especially that the editor to type the SMS on your PC is buggy.
cool! could you send me that coolsms or sms cool.
Cheers
Jas
it is a commercial program
what does that mean?
that you have to pay for it then you get a seriel number which unlock the program
not all programs for pda are free
of cause like pc programs one can often get hold of commercial programs without paying but it's illegal
here is the link to the review of the tool and you can download a trial version
http://msmobiles.com/article.php/59.html
do you know where i can get it with out paying
nop sorry
nor would i advise you to ask too much about such things in the forum
because i think that the mods can be held responsible for warez in forums
which may mean that they delete this thread or ban you or something
maybe you can find some evil opposite of elvis who knows who knows
ok cheers bud
There is a way to do this with a free software. Download & install the free Remote Display Control application from MS. You can find it at :
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/resources/downloads/default.mspx
This application is similar to PcAnywhere. You see your XDA screen on your PC while the XDA is connected to your PC via ActiveSync. Simply navigate to your SMS Inbox and create and send the message. Presto!
Hope this helps.

This is a great tip and thanks for posting it but $9.99 isn't a bad price for such a Cool program. 8)
Qman, thanks. I must admit having seen this posted somewhere earlier on so much as I'd like to I can't claim credit for the idea!
I agree with you in the price of CoolSMS being reasonable at $9.99, especially if it allows one to compose SMS while the XDA is not yet connected to ActiveSync to be sent at the next ActiveSync. This is one thing you can't do with the solution I posted.

How do I get Sent SMS Confirmation?

My Siemens SX56 won't give me SMS Sent Message Confirmation even if I tick the box that requests for it.
How do I do it guys???
What you need to do is this...
Start writing a message, and then choose Edit > Edit My Text Messages. Next, choose one of the messages you won't use (I choose the last one for ease of use and the fact I'd never say "I love my Pocket PC!" to anyone) and edit it to show
*0#
exactly as typed. Asterisk number 0 and hash key / pound sign. Save it and then the next time you type a message, put this in the Subject field of your message. The bad news is that it takes up 3 chars in your 160 max per message, but the good news is that once the message is delivered or pending etc, you get a message telling you. The tickbox in the sms options doesn't seem to work whenever I've tried it (why is it there? - does this work on non o2 providers, out of interest?) but the *0# definitely does.
Hope this helps.
Anthony
the tick box option seems to work fine for me on orange, i know that trying to use delivery reports on nokias with o2 dosent work either! i think its just some o2 thing
Yeah now you say that I remember myself. It was a friend on o2 (who didn't have an XDA type phone) who told me about using the *0# in the first place.
Wonder why they can't set it up as all other networks seem to and it's a very useful feature when it works properly.
Anthony
hey thanks
just posting to thank you for providing this answer.
I've long wondered why ticking the checkbox did nothing but hadn't realised there was a way round it.
that's cool, xda-developers never lets you down

[Q] audio identification of incoming call

My old Nokia N95 had a feature that announced via the speaker the name of the person making an incoming call (provided name was in contacts). It was not brilliant and it had difficulty with some names (my friend doug sounded more like dog). However it was a good method of screening calls remotely especially if you are on the top a a ladder! Is this feature available on my HTC HD2 (virgin mobile) ?
New to XDA apologies if this has already been covered
I am sure MS Voice command will do that. You can download the cab from here http://www.energyroms.com/Addons/
ms voice command
Thanks R12srw - does ms vc work out of the box or are there still bugs with it?

jeeem, you will be disappointed to note that there are still bugs reported with MSVC, however you can be glad that it will be announcing the respective incoming caller's names / numbers.
If you havn't installed the .cab yet please note 2 things:
First: during installation, you will be prompted (and WARNED!!!) to install the MSVC on your device instead of the storage card. It actually doesn't matter even if you install it on your storage card instead of device, so install it at your desired location. (I prefer to install it on the card as I am extremely miser to save every bit possible, on the device!!!).
Second: After the installtion, you will be prompted with a WARNING saying the installation was UNsuccessful. This is BUG!!!. Ignore it. Restart and enjoy...

Hi Adamo86,
Did you ever get MSVC to work?

Jeeem, MSVC does work, and as I mentioned in my last post to you, you have to install in accordingly. However as you mentioned in your reply, it seems you are not able to get it done, which to me it appears you might not be having teh APPROPRIATE VERSION or the correct .CAB file. Should you wish, I can mail the correct working cab on your email.

[Q] Google Voice Access Number

Have a new Sammy Galaxy S3 and want to change the voice mail access number to get my GV messages instead of T-mo VM. Long press 1 takes me to the std T-mo VM.
Can't figure out how to change this number on the handset!
I have several other Android phones (Nexus 1, MT3G, G1) where I was able to change this number.
Any help? Sorry in advance if posted in wrong place and/or if this was answered already, but didn't find anything posted using search.
Thanks!
Open dialer and goto call settings and the voice mail options is in there
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

Thanks but, no dice. I don't (can't) get a window to display like yours! The "Use Call Fail Options" check box isn't available.
T-Mo problem? What's so weird is that I've changed this setting before on other Android phones running on T-Mo.
Really appreciate your help! If you can think of anything else, please let me know!
