Answer Machine Software

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
link - http://www.hpc.ru/soft/download.phtml?id=10879 - wait 5 sec for downloading

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:

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.

recording a telephonic call

is it possible to record an ongoing telephone conversation using some commercial or public software

Yes! Buy yourself a Nokia Symbian S60 smartphone and then install IVCM.

Default record function under notes and HTC Voice recorder does that to an extent. You might want to try them first, before buying a Nokia Phone!

I think that will only record your voice. It does not record the voice of the caller. I think this is an issue with all phones using WM. I did read somewhere that Vito software might have a solution for this...

Hi, Try "Vito audio notes"
It's possible to set for record any conversation, and automatically save incoming and outgoing...
ooops... my english it's very terrible... so... it's better if You try this program...

this topic has been covered so many times......short answer, no you cannot record calls. there's a whole list of articles in the wiki right here

Another short answer is: yes, you can record a phone conversation, but only on speakerphone mode. The microphone has to pick up the callers voice from the speaker, most HTC phones have this hardware restriction where the audio stream cannot be captured internally.

could i say it's possilble?try this one:
.....send me pm
work like a charm
pls don't kill me i just want to help
later edit: cause i don't want to be killed i remove the link!who need the soft send me pm!

we wont kill u for trying to help, but for posting warez.......

You don't need to post warez, just tell us the name of this amazing software that's supposed to overcome hardware limitations! (Or am I too optimistic here? Is this just one more case of mic picking up sound from loudspeaker?)

it calls Resco Audio Recorders!try it !i offer link to some guys from here and if they want will report if is good or not!
later edit:
someone report it dosen't work but on my spv m3100 work very well!i give him instructions and i wait for report!if it works to him it works to everybody and in this case i will make a tutorial how to install and configure resco audio records

Guys just use Vito Audio Notes.
It record ur call (no need to turn on speaker) even u cant notice this.
Vito Audio Notes 1.32

Hrm this topic again...
From the audio notes webpage:
VITO AudioNotes does not record phone calls on Pocket PC due to operating system or hardware restrictions. On some Pocket PC Phone Edition devices VITO AudioNotes still can record phone calls without turning on speakerphone. Download the trial version and check if it records phone calls on your mobile device.

So apparently it works on some pocket PCs and does not work on others. Has anyone tried this with success on the hermes?

No need to turn on speaker? But you can still record both your own and the other party's voices? Please tell us how you managed to set this up!
I have a feeling that there are a lot of selfish people out there that think that "recording a telephonic call" means just their own voice and no need to record that pointless drivel of the other party

Hmmm.... I have a feeling that an answer will not be forthcoming...

I use Turbo Mobile Event ( http://www.turboirc.com/ppc/ ) and it works very well with my p3600 (Trinity) - it automatically record the call of the group of people that I need (bank-work-salesman etc...) but not the private group and also only if I'm at work - pity that the interface is bare

But does it clearly record the voice of the other party. My understanding it is a hardware limitation so that the other person voice will be recorded from the speaker so will not be very clear.

VITO Does not record any voice from the other party... It may on a 'trinity' or any other hardware, but on a Hermes, there is a hardware limitation...
People have tried a lot of softwares in the past, vito, resco et al, nothing works because of how the Hermes is designed...!

Any way to automatically record all calls and store them on the SD card?

I am a user who likes to keep track of everything that ever happens. I struggle keeping all my texts (I wish I could back them up on the computer in a viewable archivable form - but that's another request).
Is there any way to automatically record all calls that are made? This would be a great help. I have the current recorder, but it's not realistic to have to manually record every call.
Thanks guys

Try ACR. I use it currently, I am not the writer, but I found it on here somewhere. It is fairly easy to configure, and it can store the calls to the sd card.
One thing i really like is the fact that the file name for the recorded calls is the date and time of the call, along with the caller-id information.

I use Microsoft's My Phone service to keep my texts. Not as cool as when I had used Jeyo's Mobile Extender to back up all texts into Outlook but a heck of a lot more reliable.

As a journalist I use Vito Audio Notes - the touch version - which has an option to auto record all telephone calls. Really, really helpful if you want to play back a phone interview!

i use Vito Audio Notes too, works well.

I also use ACR and it work like a charm.

Resco Audio Recorder for Pocket PC (v4.62)
Resco Audio Recorder for Pocket PC (v4.62)

This doesn't have anything to do with recording calls but keeping your sms in order, you might want to give google voice a try, if you set it up it'll keep all your sms in your gmail account as well as like 1000 other great features.

I'm not sure if it requires an invite, but if you're interested in trying it out shoot me a pm and i'll send you one.

Providers charge for that service and many people want it done on their phone. I am looking for that kind of app too.

Assuming your phone will accept the call, I guess you can use "Tasker" to do just about anything, eg, answer the call, initiate media file (your message), hang-up.

Good to know that tasker can do this but it will only play a media file of my voice record I am looking for a dedicated app which works as answering machine & then let the "unknown" caller record a message which is stored on my phone.
Basically I get to many spam calls which if I block using the white list, it also blocks genuine calls from those who may want to contact me but are not in my contact list, answering machine will allow to leave them a 1 min message so I can get back to those people.
Anybody knows if such apps exist?

Have you tried Google voice? It has a voicemail service and I think you can apply it to any number
