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
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!

Hi!
I need help for voice cal recording - automatic voice answering.
I want to find b u s i n e s s partner in this field.
Sincerily,

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
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)
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.
https://www.google.com/voice
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.

Regarding call forwarding, I believe you can achieve this by using codes in the phone dialer. I saw it in one of the tip documents (but I agree would be good to have in settings).

I can confirm that the call forwarding options have to be set using the Network codes. Don't understand why you are not able to do this in the settings. Hopefully this will come with an update in the near future.
- ringtones volume, media volume and games sound/music volume are the same, caused me missed the calls last night.
- no official WLM from microsoft
No communicator/wlm is disappointing.

Word is the WP7 does not yet support rSAP. This is very much needed for Bluetooth handsfree car usage. Especially important in Europe where you must BY LAW use handsfree phone.
Re delivery notifications; the problem is network dependent isn't it? I don't think each SMS is individually identifiable on the network. So if I send two text messages to one number and only one is delivered, which one would be marked delivered?
I don't think this feature is supported on any device?

Not sure on whether you can't identify which SMS gets through or not but I would have thought that each SMS would have pretty much have it's own UID and therefore could
Re delivery notifications though, you are spot on. It's carrier/network dependant. O2 have never supported/provided SMS delivery (although you can get a report from MMS which is odd). Phones do support reporting of message delivery though.
Yeah, sorry that wasn't clear, phones do support the messages and some phones do treat them differently, eg my old Nokia 7210 flashes delivery notices on screen rather than just telling em I have a new message. But I don't think any phones can have an inbox that has a tick or a cross next to each message depending on whether it's been delivered because the messages don't have a UID. Happy to be corrected on that but with the SMS standard being as old as it is I don't think it's a given that each message has a unique ID.
- no support for hidden wireless (personal and enterprise)!
- no real outlook sync....
- missing rotation features in some hubs e.g. the cam
- filtering option in contact-news
- maybe a gallery from facebook friends in pictures
- a second page for marketplace apps/hubs ?
like my htc trophy and its great for a 1.0 but i hope microsoft will update soon... f.e. on every Patchday ???
Here's my 5p worth:
- No Static IP's possible on WiFi
- I actually hate the Metro GUI or whatever they call it. I'd love to be able to completely change my homescreen
- No Desktop Background, only for locked screen. Goes hand in hand with the above
- Did I say I hate those squares?
I generally feel that this OS is a bit like Marmite. You either love it or you hate it. Nothing in between. Which is a bit crap. If it was more adjustable and customizable I would be happier. That's why I like Android.

I use a Parrot MKi9000 and it connects, downloads my address book (using OBEX) and I can voice dial. I can also control the media playback using the buttons on my handsfree kit.

Both Android and my Sony phones supported delivery notifications. The sony implementation was very good with a simple tick or cross next to the message. Android is a bit messy but does work on a per message basis. SMS messages include a header (much like an email) that you don't see on the phone and this contains all the information individually identifying the message.

My contacts went straight onto my cars radio through bluetooth, so your doing something wrong.
I would like to be able to go into my gallery and then select a facebook friend and view all their photos, or view all there photos from the peoples hub.
REALLY want to be able to set my own ringtone
Other than that, I am happy, wondering where the 50-60 xbox live games a launch went though.
haven't gotten my windows phone yet so can't help you there on first point. as for the second point, supposeably ringtones can be set by apps and are meant to become available in the market place, but i agree, i would prefer to be able to set mine rather than purchase.

Anyone that claims they love this OS is either on the Microsoft payroll or they are deceiving themselves because they find it too difficult to face the realisation that they upgraded to something with fewer features than their old phone.
The most important thing this OS lacks: File management. Don't make me dig up those old threads!

first outlook syncronisation:
the only way to have all your contacts, calender from outlook in your phone is trough an exchange or copying all into windows live.. no active sync until now
second filtering:
in facebook you have so much things you "like" and games... all those messages spamming your contact news... no chance to see only your friends messages from facebook.
third gallery:
In the gallery I only have a set of my Facebook pictures, but would be nice if there where also those of my friends
fourth second page:
I find you miss the overview of microsoft apps from the phone and those you are downloading from the market. If there were two seperate pages.. one phone 7 .. second downloaded apps, would help finding apps.
I have always been an android fan since the G1, but REALLLY interested in WP7, thinking of buying the htc arrive on sprint but theirs ONE thing holding me back. And thats Google Voice.
I use GV for my main number for texitng AND calling.
I know they have some GV apps but can never seem to get a clear answer. I need to be able to receive and make calls along with texting and receiving. any WP7 GV app for that?
There are a couple of GV apps but I still use the actual website because I think it works better.
If you download zune I believe you can download the WP7 Marketplace still if you wanted to look for yourself.
well I use zune and looked. but wasnt sure if I can call on those. Like of course android GV app will be better. but say someone calls my GV number I want my WP7 to ring just like normal
i use google voice on android and it rocks
well I know its awesome on android thats what I use. I just want the baic features to work if im gonna get a WP7 device like texting and making and receiving calls to my GV number
It works on wp7. Its not quite as fully integrated as there is no official app, and there is no socket API as of yet. This means the 3rd party apps have to send you notifications directly from their own servers for true notifications, otherwise it will load when you open the app and check for new messages.
I use the GoVoice application on wp7 and it notifies me (through 3rd party) of sms messages ect, and gives me my google voice mails/translations/playback just fine. It works, you can make calls, receive calls, texts, get transcripts/playback just like on android, its just a little bit more limited than the Android version. When the sockets api comes out for dev's this will quickly be addressed with true notifications and be more similar to what you are used to.

hmm thanks. I think im gonna try the HTC Arrive on sprint. I looove android, but sometimes just want a phone thats very quick. simple and looks great. plus I love Zune Pass. The only thing holding me back was using GV. but GoVoice seems great

Yah I'm pretty heavily tied in to Google Voice. Use it for work and all my voicemails. GoVoice gets the job done good enough till a full fledged one can be written when Sockets API is released. But when that happens I will definitely be looking for one as great as what Android had

The reason you don't see any [functioning] Instant messenger apps, and why GoVoice needs this 'workaround' is there is no way for the dev's to bind to a port or IP address on a host, giving way for the notifications you would normally be used to. Until MS gives these API's out, only bandaid workarounds will be available.
Or am I missing something?
If there is a way to make/recieve phone calls using GoVoice, then I must be too stupid to figure it out. When I attempted to make calls, it would somehow remotely call from my other on contract phone, while also causing my on contract phone to ring until I answered it. Really confusing to describe, but it was equally confusing watching it happen.

I don't think what they are doing is a workaround, I'm not too sure how they'd do it otherwise. One of the major reasons for push notifications is to be used when the application isn't running. Having a Socket API isn't going to help at all if the application isn't running, right?

hmm...thats true...so I would assume (hopefully) that sockets support comes with the multitasking update? Are programs going to be able to periodically check for information while not running in the foreground? You will need this for 'in app' notifications instead of the workaround; I call it that because it is. Well, a workaround the lack of what is necessary to do these like on other systems (BB, palm, Symbian, iOS, Android ect). GoVoice uses a secondary user account on Gmax. Gmax has to watch your account for changes and then send you notifications to the phone, as opposed to doing this inside the app.
I'm no programmer, so I'm not sure exactly all what is needed. But shouldn't these programs be able to bind to certain ports, and when messages come in, they are pushed to your device? Does the program need to be running all the time? or will the notification being sent from a specific host/port 'awaken' the application with a notification? Maybe somebody can clarify this for me. How do the other systems do this? You should be able to get a notification while doing other things, since you can obviously already do this with the MS applications.
To me, this type of functionality is pretty necessary to many applications people will need on their phones.
In iOS4, Apple added the ability for VOIP applications to run in the background. That in combination with a Socket API (which is necessary for VOIP anyway) is probably what you're after.

GoVoice dials directly using the same method that Android's Voice application uses. There's no call-back when connecting the call. It simply calls an intermediary Google number, which dials out to whomever you're calling.

Did you use Google Voice web page on your desktop PC to make a call and remembered that setting? It is possible that GoVoice gets affected by your Google Voice web page settings.
BTW, on Android Phones, Google Voice is fully integrated with the phone dial pad as well so that you don't need to pull up the Google Voice app in order to make a call. You set up rules about when you want to make GV calls (all calls or only international calls) and just dial your number or contacts in regular Android phone dialer pad.
Just picked up the 11 and I am trying to set it up as my older phone (Note 10) regarding DND (do not disturb).
With my old setup, I could silence everything except phone calls. With the new phone, it seems that phone calls are tied to messages and filtered by all contacts, favorites or none.
Putting Phone and Phone calls as app exceptions will silence calls received if for the People section I select None, and selecting Contacts in People will permit group Whatsapp messages etc. which is really annoying.
Does anyone know how I can allow only phone calls (without regard to who's calling) and block everything else?
