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?

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

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.

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!

Why I Secretary can’t mute the microphone of my xperia x1 and why the caller can’t hear my answer message
How can I fix this using registry or any tweak tool for windows mobile 6.1
thanks
Hi!
I wonder, if anybody knows this strange behavior:
It is possible to restrict dialing to a set of numbers, you define. (Somewhere in Settings->phone->others)
You enter the PIN2, the numbers, you wish to be reachable, ready.
On a WM5 device, this works fine. Only calls and SMS to the defined numbers are possible.
Not so on WM6: Calling a definde number works - but NOT sending an SMS...
Does somebody know anything about this?
Device: HTC p3300
ROM: As delivered from HTC

The answer of HTC Europe is: WM6 handles this feature to restrict the possibilities different than WM5.
So this is called "feature" not "bug".
Perhaps there is an answer in the registry....
Hi,
since I upgraded my TP2 ROM with the WinMo6.5 from HTC I encountered two issues which really make me regret this from time to time:
On incoming calls very often the caller name is not displayed even if the phone number is known in my address book. Also in call history i just see numbers, not names. This worked perfectly in 6.0.
When I receive a call, i press "take call" but the phone simply wont take it. Instead it silences the ringtone but there is no chance I take the call.
I searched the forum but couldn't find anything that would help. There was some registry entry about setting the size of phone numbers which should fix problem one, but the issue here is, that German phone numbers don't have any fixed size, so the suggested fix is not working. Also I'd wonder why I have to set something up when just the same thing worked perfectly in 6.0. As for the more annoying "can't take call" thingy, i am absolutely clueless. Has anyone of you encountered these issues before and if so, were you able to fix them?
I can't find the link readily but I thought I remember reading that adding (or removing) the "+" in front of phone numbers in your contacts helped the first issue.
I apologize in advance if someone has asked/worked on this before, but I couldn't find anything specific, except someone asking the same question in the AT&T GS2 forum.
So something that bothers me is when I go through the call logs, it lists each and every call as a different entry, even if it is to the same contact. I came to Android from a Nokia E71x, and in that, the call log showed one entry for multiple calls to a contact. Just that when you selected the entry, it showed you multiple entries in that for incoming/outgoing/different times. I hope I didn't jumble up my problem too much. Basically, I want to know if a) there is a ROM which does this (I don't think there is) or b) if there is an app that does this.
Thanks!
Hello all, do any of you know at least one app that is similar in functionality to iPhone's Mobile Log or iSmart Dialer??
I went from iphone to android and this are the only to apps I really miss, mostly because of their simplicity and the fact that they did exactly what I needed, nothing more nothing less and with no complications.
Mobile Log is a replacement for the recent call history and can hold up to 200 individual calls and as far as I can tell an infinite amount of calls for one number or contact, it also shows the number of the contact from recent and groups all the calls you make to one contact in a single row.
iSmart Dialer is an app that could integrate with in the keypad of the iphone and you could call people from there using the smart dial option. i guess i could live without this as ICS has a search option in every tab of the call application but I could really use an app like Mobile Log.
PS: So far I have tried several call log apps but none of them have what it takes, the best one I found was ToucPad Dialer but it has some issues with ICS(I presume it's not fully supported yet).
I also tried Call Log Manager Pro but this one is bad not to mention that most apps have the tabs at the top of the screen and GN has a rather log screen so it's difficult to reach them.
I would appreciate if someone could tell me at least one app that is similar to Mobile Log and iSmart Dialer
