Answer Machine Software - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General

Hi
Quite a while ago i had software on my Symbian OS Nokia that worked as an answer machine. It was great. I have had no luck finding one for the Pocket PC. Has anyone seen one about.
Some key advantages included:
No cost for reteiving messages from the network
Quick access to messages
Multiple answer recording depending on caller and situation ie friend calls answer 'hi man in a meeting leave a message' vs business caller 'Sorry i am in a meeting at moment...'
I have found a couple that uses sms to reply but none that actually record the voice.
Any ideas?

Do Not Disturb 3.3 ppc site - http://www.jgui.net/index3.html
Shareware $9.95

Im sorry, I might not have explained my self. I'm after software that will do voicemail. I want to take a voice recorded message from the caller rather than have it diverted to my network voicemail.
I like the sms idea though and I'm sure the 2 applications could be integrated etc.

Hi
I have been doing a lot of investigation into this subject as i think its a neat idea. I know it has been asked many many many times before in this forum as i have dredged deep into the archives so I'm just wanting to share some info as to what i have found and find out if there have been any new developments since the last relivant posts a few months ago.
I have found this software i used to use called smartanswer for a symbian nokia
http://www.symbianware.com/product.php?id=sanswer60&pl=n6600
So i know it is possible on a similar system but different OS. I haven't managed to found any real reason for it not being able to be done on a pocket pc yet although I'm sure there is a reason or else it would have been created several times over already.
Anyway its just my small blabber wasting time in my lunch break.

phatbloke:
I've been asked about this numerous times, and you say that you've found no good reason why it's not happened yet:
Basically, as I understand it, and I know next to nothing about this area, but basically, the Phone PocketPC is just a pocketpc with an entirely seperate piece of hardware for the phone. The two are independant.
Inorder to control the "phone", the pocketpc comunicates with it through a COM port, sending commands to start calls, data connections etc. However, as I understand it, we have no direct means to access the audio/in out. So, although this is bog standard on many intelligent phones, the pocketpc was never designed around phone hardware, but merely slapped on piggyback.
Being able to record the calls is obviously essential to the answering machine. Some of the clever boys on this site have said that this is impossible or unlikely until we reverse engineer the drivers, and this hasn't happened yet AFAIK. Again, if this is all ball-ocks then someone please correct.
I can monitor missed calls, hangup incoming calls, log all that and so on, but spooling audio in and playing something down the line evades us for now.
Look here towards the end for discussion and futile ideas I had:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=20691&highlight=
and here if you're Italian:

PS if you follow the first thread, someone mentioned that Resco Sound recorder can record both in and outgoing audio on calls. Can you try that software? If that works, it might be possible. But I've seen no verification and don't have the opportunity to check it myself.

Hi all,
I am understanding; Microsoft don't publish some "sensitive" APIs like recording audio from downlink, etc. ..... I am Symbian Software Engineer; That is everyday life for me.
So, while using Symbian, you have the possibility to make requests to Symbian or Nokia for getting access to their internal API. We do that several times... perhaps for muting microphone, GSM trace information, etc. Exists there a business case to get access to Microsofts internal API?
A contact will be very helpfully!
Thanks a lot!

Jabra BT800 & Qtek9000

I'm looking to know if the Jabra BT800 is compatible with the Qtek 9000, anyone can help me?
Sorry about the delay, only just noticed this question, yes, the BT800 works with the Universal / XDA Exec / Qtek 9000 I use one myself.
Hi,
I can also confirm the Jabra works fine.

Just the number! MS BT stack doesn't implement this interesting feature.
However you can use the SW on this link http://www.jetwaremobile.com/index.htm from JETware Mobile
Evidence! I saw letters on my JABRA BT800 today!!!

Hi All!!!!
Yes, I saw letters on my JABRA's display after about one year of using this piece of almost useless crap! I have installed the latest version from jetwaremobile.com and it finally works. Previos versions just didn't worked!
(I wouldn't like to describe all issues and low quality if BT800, I just use it in a car to answer urgent calls.)
BUT!
1. If the name in the contact calling you - is not in English - you will see nothing on the LCD Screen;
2. It takes ages the name to appear on the screen (5 rings or more) even if I called few times;
3. It uses Jabra's internal memory to store the contacts. So, if you have 1000+ contacts (like I do), there is no chance to use this feature. (But, you stil can create a separate Category for the hot contacts, and setup jetwaremobile's software discussed here to load only these numbers).
So, All, train your memory and remember all your 1000+ phone numbers yourself
In my case names are displayed quite fast. But I've just a few hundreds of contacts... if it makes the difference.
Also managed to have previous versions working (v1 and v1.11. OK also for 1.20 Beta)
I guess your problem with non English names, means non occidental characters!? Because it is OK with mine and they are not English.
To avoid some potential problems I've ticked in 'Advance options', just what I'm interested in, 'Caller ID'
My only frustration is that I wish large names to scroll, otherwise many contacts seems to be the same...
@dima_the_chief
how can you browse contacts from bt800. I only know about last ten calls are stored in headset.
As for delay this is true but only sometime when devices loose conectivity,usualy works fine for me with xda2 wm2005.

As far as I understood dima, didn't say that.
In fact BT800 doesn't allow to browse contacts stored on device!
then what to understood with:

It means BT800 uses internal memory to keep lookup tables, that would allow to correlate an incoming number, with the correspondent name.
Doesn't mean you can browse the contacts list, from the headset, what in fact you can't.
Most probably it is technically close to be possible, bu it isn't in the feature list or at least implemented so.

No! i CAN NOT BROWSE THE CONTACTS with my crappy-****ty BT800.
But, I can review last 10 incoming calls. I can see names instead of numbers.
There is a compatibility sheet on http://jetwaremobile.com/bthfx/support.htm .
It says that BT 800 only can do a Voice dial, In-band ringtones and the Caller Id.

Why dont you think, BT800 loads the name for the incoming call on demand? That could explain the delay for the Caller Name display on incoming call.

HI All, gabiz_ro!
Sorry for bullshitting you, but my latest investigations shows, that, even the jetwaremobile's SW will try to send all off my 1000+ contacts to the BT800 it wount accept them.
My proposition about storing all the contacts in internal memory of the BT 800 - is wrong.
But, other BT headsets still can do that! And those devices can browse the phonebook. Like Parrot 3200 LS doest. But, it has a limitation of contacts to load. In this case you have to create a Hot Contacts cathegory in your contacts.
Hope this post gave clearance on the subject.

warn the newbies -- DONT purchase JABRA BT 800
Hi All!
With this post I would like to warn the newbies against purchasing the JABRA BT 800.
Guys!!!!!!!! Spend some time and find another product!
More reliable, stable and usefull!!! You will NOT meet your challenge with purchasing this useless crap!
After using for about a year of BT 800, I have finally got it bricked.
I would not like to discribe here my unseccessful experience of using it for a year, will only descirbe the technological issues in the product.
The main buttons stopped responding to my presses. As the warranty is almost not working in my place, I tryed to repair the device myself.
The reason was - the tailanted chaineese engineer's solution to use the small ****ty piece of the plastic as a spring for the buttons. Of course after the year of rare using, this plastic part was broken, preventing the microswitch to be pushed.
Had to change the button's design and introduce the spiral spring to make it working again.
Sorry for the technical details, ALL, just do not buy BT 800 not to be concerned to the subject.
Yes, I am a strong man, and have weight down the buttons, especially when JABRA do not respond to my pressings during the incoming calls (How many of them I lost thanks to BT 800!!!!!).
How will I live further? Will buy an expencive but more reliable kar kit to use in a car and will continue using just a plain Uni for regular calls.

JetWare Works on MDA but...
I like this program and all but before installing it, I used to be able to hear my actual phone ringing instead of it just ringing in my Jabra BT800 headset. I can't seem to figure out how to have them both ringing, any suggestions?

Just not possible. It is the normal behaviour JetWare implemented, just like that.
See their answer I received this week about the same question, bellow.
"The behavior you observe, of the ring going only to the headset when “Use phone ringtones” is checked, is expected behavior."
Does anyone have the tekkeon ez 3000 with the Jetware app using the Universal? Any comments?

Does this mean that when you are reviewing the 10 incoming calls you see names instead of numbers? I can see only the numbers despite that I use jetware so I see the names when the call is coming in.

Voicemail

Hi guys,
Is there any software that will record an incoming missed call onto the phones SD card so I dont have to dial voicemail and can check the calls on directly on my PPC?
Thanks for any advice

Lets just say you want an Answering Machine on PPC.
It would be a novel and successful one, if there were ever any made. AFAIK, it is yet not possible on HTCish handhelds....
The one thing I tried involves you picking up the call, then it records the conversation, and more clearly if in speakerphone mode (a pain innit?). That is called Live PVR, in case you want to google it and wake up the genius within....
We will be waiting, if you find/make it first

So there is a fundamental hardware problem where software cannot access hardware. It occurred to me that all sounds can be fed to the bluetooth stack so maybe it could be captured from there.
Ok show of hands who would like an Answer machine for HTCish PPCs bit like the visual voicemail on dare I say it the iphoney
Such a SW is existing in Symbian60. I had this back in the dark times on my Nokia 6680.
This SW is answering the call automatically, playing the announcement which was recorded before and then recording the meaasge as mp2 (or wav). storage media can be the telephone itself or a memory card.
In WM6, i didn't find it yet, maybe really not existing.
BTW, the Siemens S40 had such a function integrated as well (no Symbian, no WM, ...).

Block Unknown Calls?

Does somebody know a free app that gives me the possibility to block all Unknown Calls?
Yes, I did search, found some links, like here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=307178&page=49&highlight=call+block
But following those links, some apps are paid, others still ring once, etc.
So, just wondering if somebody knows of another app that does what I need?

Thnx,

Phone ring once and cut off.
I am also looking for an app that block unwanted calls and the caller won't even hear any ringing.
What you need is impossible
It's because ringing tone is generated by GSM provider when starting from the moment that cellphone is reached in the network.
Then PDA software must do something with it. It can get it or drop it.
But... try your self, and check how many seconds is the delay between reaching destination and PDA's reaction.

Call Filter/Forwarder TP2

I am looking for a program similar to one I used to own on my Linux based ROKR E6. The program would automatically filter blocked calls and forward them to a selected number of my choice. It worked on rules and the ones for winmo don't seem to have the same functionality.
I have tried call firewall, winmo call block, call filter, a couple others I cant name off the top of my head.
I have not tried isecretary yet, but this and some other options that allow the call to be picked up and a select mp3 to play don't seem to be viable either. Im assuming that when the phone is near me at work and is picked up the program has to be smart enough to mute the mic which only this one "says" that it does. Plus I'd prefer to spend the minutes on the call forward anyway so that if I'm on a call that the messages still get forwarded appropriately rather than going to voicemail again.
any options or programs I am overlooking?
Id even be willing to pay for it to do all of this since it seems rather specific

[REQ] Morphing Voice IN CALL

Hello Dev`s from really long time i think about this kind of Application and i don`t know why nobody take it serious and create such a masterpeace
For what im talking about is a Morphing Voice app that is integrated and can work in real time... of course in CALL.
On the Market already is avalible Program like this called Voice Twister, but the program is very buggy also have only few avalible kind of voice and the program can`t work in CALL.
So if anyone create software like this you can imagine how many thousend of users will just NEED IT and will wana use...
Imagine to have a Software witch you can use to call someone and to speak like you are Old men, Litle Child or Women.
The software can be very simple and i can give idea how im imagine this will work.
EXAMPLE:
Befor to make the call you want with Morphing 1st Run the Application, in the Menu will have Settings of the Program and will have Otions to choice the Voice you Want.. there can have something like Simple Equalizer because everyone know that you can change your voice sound by changing the "db" So with this Kind of Options every User is able to make himself Unique kind of Voice to use.. when you already do the Voice you Like you can save it.
After this you just go and Open the Dialer and call someone..
I think is Posible when the Program is Runing on Backround.. when you Speak with someone he or she to hear the Morphed Voice in real time.. or maybe with some small miliseconds delay.
So i hope someone who think like me.. and have the skills can try to create something like this..
Its a Serious Software, and till now i don`t know ANY Mobile Platform to have something similar.
Regards​

It is quite possible. There area phones already with that function. (Privileg)
Its a matter of time to get that function on a WM6.
If I knew how to receive data from the Microphone, AND transmit that received data through RIL (or whatever transport may be used for Phone Calls), then I could probably make this app ... but I don't know much of either [in C++ that is]
