hey everyone,
was just thinking everyone is making an effort of converting xda,xdaII,xdaIIs,xdaIIi and other pda phones into extra ordinary pda's which have everything......skinning....games...theft control...and many other things, was just wondering why cant someone make a software which accepts a call plays a recording from the pda and then records the msg of the caller on the pda and ends the recording when the caller hangs up, i mean how hard that could be ? when the guru's out here can create a software which runs in background and sends a sms msg (in hidden)if name or addy is changed on pda then why not an auto ans'ing software ?
regards
jeetz.
whats wrong with voicemail anyway?
do a search it's been up 10000000 times
from what i been able to understand then the gsm module dont support the auto answer option in settings
looking for posts about the subject
use search and
search for
Answering AND machine
or
voicemail
the AND mean that it will only give posts where both answering and machine are present

Did you already try to make a phonecall with your XDA or MDA in your car? Then you certainly discovered a disadvantage of PocketPC Phone Edition: the buttons and menus in the Contacts application are much to small to select a contact and a number while driving (unless you have very sharp eyes and tiny fingers).
That's why I wrote PhonExt.
PhonExt makes it easier to scroll through your contacts, select a phone number and make a phonecall.
PhonExt makes it possible to really use your XDA or MDA while driving.
And with PhonExt you can easily recognize who is calling, even without watching the screen!
PhonExt offers the possibility to assign a specific ring tone to a contact or even to a category of contacts!
PhoneExt works on all pocket pc's with integrated phone that have Pocket PC 2002 - Phone Edition as operating system.
You can download it from http://phonext.oabsoftware.nl.
PhonExt extends your XDA; and it's free!
Oops, almost forgot to tell that PhonExt is freeware...
Cool and tiny software
It's Great tool
i install it and it's working fine with no problems and if i'll find any bug i'll let you know.
thanks with best regards

Great little app does exactly what I want.
Hi
Very nice app, works nicely and cleanly.
However have found that (here in the UK) it dials some mobile numbers wrongly.
eg. mobile number is 0781 123456
it will dial +1 781 123456 (i.e makes a call to America!)
Clearly this needs fixing.
Hi There
same problem here not only with mobiles...it was doing the +1 thing to ALL numbers...
The authors suggested I add country code into my XDA dialing properties...
After a reboot is is not doing the +1 thing anymore but now DROPPING all leading 0's ... so 0207 gets dialled as 207 , 07973 dialled as 7973
summat is going wrong here LOLOL
same problem here not only with mobiles...it was doing the +1 thing to ALL numbers...

Just wondering: Have you changed your Country code from '1' to '<your country code>' ?
'Start' -> 'Settings' -> 'Connections' -> 'Connections' -> 'Dialing Locations'
After flashing qtek or the XDA-developers ROM my XDA Country code always changed to '1'.
grtz!
raymond..
yes I have, as said above , after setting the country code for mobile/home/work dialling properties , the dialler is now dropping all leading zeroes...
thnx for the reply
Doesn't customise ringtones
Hi folks,
I have the same problem- initially, phonext always dial +1 as prefix calling America as it is and then when I changed the settings of connections to country code 44, (ie not 0044), it dials correctly now. However the ringtone that I added to any categories doesn't work and even using the contact menu, adding ringtone doesn't work. Anyone has the same problem besides dialing out?
Cheers
Vic
For me it´s not working too....
First problem I have, that also the wrong numbers are dialed....
Instead of +497031.... it dials +317031....
I my contact list the number are stored in this format:
+49 (7031) .....
Another problem I have, is that i cann´t set a ring tone to a person. I´ve got this option in the contact list, but when i try it, I´ve get an error Message:
"Cannot run menu add in"
I´m using standard ROM Version 3.17.03 ENG and RAdio Version 4.21.00
Regards
Stefan

Ok, was my mistake. Have seen this thread already, but i didn´t mentioned, that there is a new version of Phonerxt Available. Now it works fine...

This is a very very very useful utility.
One suggestion: I have in my contacts more than a thousand numbers. I presume I'm not the only one. Although the search is fast (arrows go page up and page down), I suggest to the creator of the software to add in the upper row (instead of "Dial a contact") three buttons dividing names in alphabetical order (A-G, H-R, S-Z or whatever): this allows faster search. Thanks.
Hi,
I've been reading the forum for about a month, and have a question about the feasibility of something (or where to get it if its already been developed). I have a T-mobile PPC/PE and want to be able to play sounds while on a phone conversation (i.e. play an MP3 so both parties on the phone can hear it). options to allow it to play only to user, only to caller, or both would be nice, but so far I haven't even seen the issue addressed anywhere (I'm probably going to regret saying that - the question has probably come up before and my searches just didn't use the right terms).
So does a program exist that can do this? Is it possible to do?
Thanks,
Jon.
Just checked, and it does indeed appear that you can't make the PDA produce any sounds while in call. The PDA can record, because the call recording function wouldn't work otherwise.
No clue how to solve this.
Hi Friends,
I am Shailesh Ashar and this is my 2nd app. ( 1st being Group SMS details of which can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=306682 ). OK guyz , this is a big one (atleast for me).
Whats the App:
CallFirewall basically rejects unwanted calls.
Features & Options:
a. Accecpt all calls - pretty self explainatory
b. Accept call from My Contacts only - accepts calls from contacts only, others are rejected
c. Reject all calls - pretty self explainatory
d. White List - accepts calls only from the white listed nos
e. Black List - accepts all call except from the black listed nos
f. Black List Pattern - any no STARTING from the black list pattern list is rejected.
for eg. if you enter "123", so all nos STARTING from "123" will be rejected
this is a very nice option with which you can block nos from any particular network, country, city , area or whatever you can think of.
Finally there is also an option to reply with an SMS.
IMPORTANT:
1. To Delete Blacklist/Whitelist Nos TAP & HOLD the stylus for a few seconds to get the options.
2. Autostart - Create a shortcut to Callfirewall.exe with 'startup' as parameter (without the '') and copy to windows/startup/
3. Please uninstall previous versions before installing ver 1.3
4. Also Delete Callfirewall.xml from the Root folder. Previous versions Callfirewall.xml will not work with ver 1.3.
5. The XML file for 1.3 and 1.4 are compatible.
KNOWN ISSUES :
1. One Ring Delay in Rejecting Calls.
2. Ongoing call -> Blocked Caller Calls -> Existing Call is Hung Up.
3. Problems with some Radio ROMS where the caller identdification is delayed by Windows by a couple of seconds.
PLEASE DO NOT MAIL ME COMPLAINING ABOUT THE KNOWN ISSUES.
Ver 1.4
----------
1. Selective Call Barring.
Now you can restrict selected outgoing calls.
2. Add outgoing calls as Appointments.
Ver 1.3
----------
1. Added SMS Black List
You can add numbers as well as names.
eg. you put 'abc' as name, then all smses starting , ending and containing 'abc' as contact name will be blocked. The same works for numbers as well so beware.
2. Added Silent Startup - Create a shortcut to Callfirewall.exe with 'startup' as parameter and copy to windows/startup/.
3. 'Add as Appointment' Timings can now be adjusted by minutes ( + or - ).
4. Appointment is now saved in format: "Call from : Mr.X NUMBER Accepted/Rejected", Category : Call Firewall, Reminder Alarm is not set.
Ver 1.2
----------
1. Added option to reject unknown / private / withheld nos
2. Option to Add Accepted calls as calendar appointment
3. Option to Add Rejected calls as calendar appointment
4. Toggle Option to show 'CallFirewall' in 'running programs' / Task Managers
5. Save User Settings so that it remains intact upon restart.
6. Completely revamped UI to accomodate new options.
Ver 1.1
----------
Also added an option when selected, will ask you whether to send an SMS when a call is rejected
SmartPhone Version 1.2
-------------------------------
I have ported the PPC version to SmartPhone as is. So essentially all the cons as well as issues with ppc have also been carried fwd.
I'll be working on all the issues and will also be incorporating some of the new features and suggestions listed by you all. So please keep the feedbacks coming. Also, I am doing this in my free time so pls be patient with the updates.

Hey that sounds cool.. (especially the "FREE" part ).
Anyways, a request/question.. Is it possible for you to embed an "Interactive" functionality to the "Reply with SMS" option, i.e., when u miss/dismiss/ignore a call, it should ask you whether u want to sen an sms or not. (Just like SPB Phonesuite)...

I dont know how much sense it will make but if many people want it i'll definately do it.

I guess adding another feature for SMS will be nice,like call sms blocker
will surely consider in the next version.

Actually, the reasoning behind this is that while one is busy, or otherwise, if one doesnt want to take a call from a few ppl but he/she would not want to send a notification sms to all of them. and smtimes to the same person u might not want to send an sms and smtimes u might.. Many ppl I know want this feature especially those for whom sms is quite expensive (e.g. for me an sms is even more expensive than calling up the person for 2 minutes)
I dont know how difficult it would be to implement this.
One possible way would be to check in the registry whenever u miss a call, it would trigger a function to pop up the yes/no kinda dialogue/notification to send an sms to last missed number. (From the way SPB phonesuite works, I think that this is how it implements this).

Both the apps are written using managed code so it will take a while to load.
I am not sure but if u install .net cf 2 on device instead of storage card then it should make some difference.

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...

couldn't you just make ringtones of their names with a recording software and then assign that ringtone to the appropriate contact?

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.
Hi all,
still happily using WinMo 6.5 and have PhoneAlerm on the device which allows me to run programs when I enter a location.
That was great to switch off call forwarding in certain situations if i knew how to automatically dial a number (#21#). Unfortunately I didn't find anything working though I googeled some hours
Do you know of any program doing that?
Thanks!
