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.
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!

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 all,
was wondering, is there an app with which I can call a friend over wifi on his desire/android phone?
Simple app with only that function. I don't like fring or any of such type.
Thanks.

The original thread with all the info is on xda if you search for tikl...
Sent from my phone.
I noticed TiKL before opening this thread, but I rejected it thinking of it as something complicated, but will give it a look now
EDIT: cannot use TiKL, I get the warning saying that my phone is programmed with an empty number, and to call my carrier to fix that before I can use TiKL... way too complicated.
Plus, it seems to be Push To Talk and I don't need that... I would like an app in which I can add my friend and he can add me, and we can call eachother over wifi if/when we're both online
There is always a sip setup: sipdroid/google voice all setup through a sip client, its a bit of a setup though, you may find some easy sip clients on the market though I havent looked lately. But thats pretty much a sure fire way to get free calls over wifi & data.

Anyone could suggest auto-reply app where you could make whitelist for the people accepting calls and the rest auto-answering with SMS?
Used to use Advanced Call Manager on symbian where you could define profiles based on provider station you are currently connected on.Took some time to detect all the cells in home, work, caffe area but it switches profile s automatically later on and at home it accepts family calls but respond all the rest with SMS.
The droid version of this app does not have this functionality anymore and just as an answering machine is in my opinion way too expensive.
Suggestions and experiences welcome.
Thx
Edit:
The closest app I found would be TEXTBACK Geo but it seems unavailable :=(

bump.
I can not believe no one is using busy self answering app in this board ?
Miui has one where when someone calls you it sends a text with your permission saying Not Available or some other message like that1
Thank you aaasey786 , but not exactly what i am looking. Any other thoughts?
Hey everybody
So I've had my DHD on Vodafone since November. Since that time I've been having a recurring problem making out going calls as well as forwarding text messages and occasionally receiving calls.
Making Outgoing Calls: Whenever I try to make an outgoing call the phone will bleep and say 'Call ended'.. It does this alot at first it was across the board but tonight I seem to be able to call everyone apart from the person I actually need to call (typical).
Forwarding texts: I dont seem to be able to forward texts at all.. They get sent from my phone and it shows up as being sent but they are never received.
Receiving Calls: Less of a problem however every now and then people will try to call me and wont be able to get through.. Also sometimes the phone will cut out in the middle of calls.
Has anyone experienced problems like this before and if so what are the solutions??
I have tried switching the network settings and my wi fi is off and nothing has worked. I have also taken the phone apart and cleaned all of the contacts..
Phone already restored??
Sim Card tested in another phone, whether the card is OK??
Ask the provider to send you the right net configuration via sms??
only some ideas you can try....

I know I wasn't the only person a little dismayed about the lack of simultaneous phone /data when the Note 4 came out. The solution given was to remain calm and just set up your hangouts to dial your cell number.
No big deal, except that when I receive an incoming call via hangouts , my cell phone rings like a second later, knocking me off the internet. While I can still salvage the call, this defeats the entire purpose since I no longer have data.
Was this because I didn't port my number over but somehow set both up? Seems odd that they would allow that and I didn't want to port over because I didn't know if I could undo that. Can anyone confirm that I was supposed to port the number over?
