[Q] TopMost issue with WinMo 6.5 Pro - Windows Mobile Software Development

I use the application Caller Utility which gets the unknown caller ids .. it used to work fine on 6.1 devices like HTC HD but now with new devices like HD2, Touch2 and Imagio it doesn't work correctly..
the problem is when reviving a call the form pops up for a second and then goes behind the HTC Phone window.. and only appears again once you answer the call ...
this problem on exists on incoming calls and not outgoing calls..
any help would be appreciated..
and this is the code i'm using
http://callerutility.svn.sourceforge.net/

no takers?

Try this. I have not tested it myself!
http://www.netripper.com/winmo/CallerUtility_papadocta.cab
It has TopMost set to true on the form.

thank you so much NetRipper for the reply..
still didn't work it appears for a few seconds and then dives behind the htc dialer .. this only happens on incoming calls and not outgoing!

Ok. Try this version then. It should work.

Note that the window does flicker, because HTC Dialer wants to stay on top as well.. within a few milliseconds the CallerUtility will regain topmost again.

Try disabling the htc dialer skin (as a bonus, you'll save 10 MB of ram).

Missed call notification on today?

Is this possible?
If you mean a today plugin, then I am sure you could find something on PocketGear, for example.
However, there already is a status icon displayed on the bar at the top of the today screen which will show a telephone handse, plus exclamation mark if you have any missed calls. Clicking on the icon displays a message bubble from which you can view missed calls.
I hope this helps.
Yes, I meant a today plugin.
I was fiddling with Novosec Facelift.
Since it can't display notification icons when you skin the start bar... i thought a plugin would help....
After testing, I realise it is a good app (Facelift), since it makes everything look much better (menus, skin your bars to have a fullscreen today screen...etc), but isn't yet wm2003 compatible.
Wisbar helps but it just isnt the same...
Pity.
Thanks for the tip anyway.
This should be the official htc forum (huuuge lol)
Great forum!
try phonedashboard, it has many display on today screen.
http://www.jgui.net/todays/
have two solutions for you
My favorite is sunnysoft.
Just a small plugin (2 lines) with missed calls AND sms. Phone today seemed nice too.
Jgui isn't bad too....now it comes in 2 flavours. MY|Phone (with no sms support).
and MY|Phone Calls SE, with support but slow in getting signal when reseting, and the cell power meter is cool but I dont need it.
PhoneToday is quite good too, but couldn't get hold of a recent version to try... full version anyway....
Thanks for all the help.

3G Kaiser/Touch Dialpad/Extra Stuff

Here's my compilation of the Kaiser 3G dialpad. I've taken a few of the 3G dialpads around and made one that appears to work well.
I've also attached a non-3G dialpad and a 3G Touch Comm Manager - both working well also.
Please post your feedback / results.
Here's the non-color 6 button Comm Manager as well: Download Link
Post 2 has the color version.
Here's another comm manager - this one uses the color icons from Schap's latest and very nice 4.31 ROM - please pass on kudo's to him for a nice update
One note is to say that the 3G dialpad doesn't include VTKey.exe. If the dialpad cab doesn't fully work for you, try adding this to Windows and resetting your device. I can add it in if needed.
Attched is a Task manager cab that adds the reg edit / suspend / reset function.
A link to an MMS cab if you find you need it after flashing a non-MMS ROM. ArcSoft MMS 4.2.8.1
It works like Charm to my Hermes and looks really beautiful.
Many thanks for your untired efforts...!!!!
Very grateful

for me, all I get are black boxes and after a couple seconds a message that I need to switch to voice or sms. Gotta love AT&T...
In the past on other dialers, this was identical and they were reported working - so I would suspect that all is good here.
Just posted a 6 Button Comm Manager version as well.
Matt,
Re the 3G dialer, I have heard that the 3 icons that run up the right hand side should in fact sit above the numbers 1,2 and 3 so that the viewing window is larger and more rectangular. My understanding is that the way they sit in your thumbnail is a bug that needs fixing.
Is this correct and if yes, how can this be rectified? I use this dialer, configured in this way in one of Kin0kin's roms and I absolutely hate the way it is configured. Worse still is that very few other dialers will work with K's roms; therefore there is very little opportunity to go for something else, e.g Schaps video dialer, which I think is a great looking dialer.
Would appreciate you throwing some light on the visual configuration question.
Thanks
WB
i installed the touch 3g dialer on my 8525 but the numbers are not showing up properly. i have schaps 4.30 installed, do these two files not work together?
What will happen if I use that dialpad and my provider doesnt support video calls? That button just wont work?

You'll get a message that 3G isn't available if you press the video button, otherwise it works like a regular dialer.
Dude you did really a good job
Tried it on my German ROM tonight and its working!!
Only the button below the video is not perfect here.
It shows the german word for "call now".
Maybe its because of the german mui files.
I always tought this button is for the last dailed numbers..
Is it right that this one is now the call button?
See screenshots..
Will test the rest tomorrow need some hours sleep atm
Thank you. It's awesome
here is another great Dialer!
Thank you. Finally got one 3G Kaiser dialpad working on my Trinity. No problem with making 3G video call as well. So far so good.

No it will not work, upgrade to Schaps 4.31.
New rev of the comm manager posted in post 2.
Not ignoring your guy's issues. Hopefully I'll have a chance soon to figure out the issue and improve the install with the dialer on his roms.
Yes. I noticed that the button below the video call button is a "call" button as well. Would be nice if it is mapped to "call history" (We already have a permanent hardware "call" button). Thanks!

Faster dialer and comm manager

Im currently running CRC's rom 13 which I love. Im not to keen on the dialer tho. for one I have a 8525 so the video button is useless. and dialing numbers seems really slow. Like I press the number and then a sec later in responds. Is there away to go to a normal dialer?
Also when I push the comm button it takes a few seconds for it to come up. Any way to fix this?
Thanks in advanced
ugly stock dialer and comm manager are pretty snappy, Just very UGLY

Is your phonepad sound enabled? If so, disabling it will improve keypad response.

hmm I need 3g dialer, as no point of having a video calling capable phone with no 3g dialer i will update my request soon.
Damn it looks good, but do you noticed that now pitch black is cool? Our taskbars have no more 3D-Style... strange progress... I like it anyway
@ zocster

Does that actually mean that this dialer does not support 3G net or just that the dialer is unable to do video calls?
Ill give it a try later...

Small question, I have little red rots around the keys in the dialer, is there any reason for this? I will try replacing the files again.
Edit: I now see them in your screeny, is there a way to get rid of them? Thanks.

voice annoucement for caller ID

Hello again
And again I have a question - is there application that would speak me the name of the person calling me? I mean that if John calls me it would ring, ring.. john.. ring, ring
Voice Command does not work on X1 for this feature
Voice2go is useless too, because when it launches it takes over my speaker, and only after turning it off manually it can speak normally. beseide of that - i rly do not like that app :/
So can anyone give some advice?
Would verry appreciate!
Thx in advance,
Mayyhem84
actually voice command is working now with the announce caller if you have the latest valkyrie rom installed
Thank You for the reply!
But I am using only SE oryginal ROM's. Actually I have R3AA010, Generic_UK..

I may be wrong but I think that voice for caller announcement has never worked with WM6.1...
True - it did not worked :/
There was a trick on forum, that made it work on some ROM's - the needed to disable skins for phonepad and it worked.
But it does not makes the trick for me :/
Any more sugestions
it works.
did you check the box in the options to use it on the speaker too?
otherwise it works with the headset only (didn't try that).
but you have to disable the dailer skin either way.
ps: there is a thread about that already which is half a year old or something (-> search).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=568834&highlight=voice+command
Thanks for the replies!! But c'mon guys I would not start a new thread if that would work for me.. I like search button very much
Yeap, I've disabled the option in Advanced Configuration Tool:
Phone -> Phone skin: Disabled.
And it did not worked... I've made the use speaker too option enabled.
So is there any program that really can do it?
Besid the fact that both - xperia and WM dialer is ugly as hell :/ I prefer really the Phonex one
Thanks in advance!
You can record voice announcement and assign to contact : )
U mean make a ringtone for every one and subscribe them to their own tone??
deamn... i have over 300 contacts
But still - that is some idea rly nice and funny as hell
Some more advices? Would be great
oh.. guys.. heeelllll... I am searching and can't find any sollution
is it really possible that there is no caller ID voice annouce for xperia or generally for win mo???
please help... ?
