Missing phone functions - no more!

I've been using PocketPC Phone Edition since the first XDA came out. Since then a lot of things has changed, devices gained more memory, became faster, smaller, adopted Bluetooth and WiFi. But one thing remain almost unchanged - phone dialer. It does serve the purpose, but a lot of things are missing and annoys avid cellphone user. You know what I am talking about
For me one of the biggest concern was absence of Calling Card support. I am communicating with our overseas officies couple of times a day on the regular basis and dialing all those numbers is really pain. So, while I was looking for calling card support add-on I came across this piece of software - MobiDial.
It's not a total phone dialer replacement, more like a shell for it. It does everyihng I want and excpect from a phone - calling card support, one hand operation, vibratouch, nice and clean interface.
Here how the main interface look like:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As you can see, all buttoms are big and nicely placed. Also, you can enable vibra option, so you can actually feel when buttom is pressed.
At the bottm you can see row of icons:
Settings, address book mode (see screenshot below), 4 strars represent speed dial windows where you can also assign pictures, and call log icon.
You can switch in between them by pressing jog left and right and scroll in address book mode by up and down.
As I've mentioned before, the biggest advantage for me is Calling Card support. Programm automaticaly dials International numbers without any users intervention. Actually, you can specify this in the settings: always use card, ask user and bever use it.
This is international call in progress:
Couple of things: current release version doesn't work correctly with Second Edition, but beta with SE support is available upon rewuest from developer. Also, first load takes about 5 sec, but then it pops up instantly, by the way, you can assign harware answer/hangup buttoms to MobiDial
You can try it for 14 days here:

I've made a small video of using this software. DivX encoded, 950 KB.

P.S. I've posted the same review on HW, I am using a different alias there

HI. I had same concern of yours for a while, and I got great help from your topic. However, I'm stil lmissing one feature: The caller groups, allowing you to assign a ringtone to every group or individual caller. Combined with the Sendrui pocketzenphone application, you might not even look at the screen to know when to answer whom. Any advice?
Thanks in advance, and hope I can be of any help one time.

It looks like a adverstisment more than a complain.

RingtoneX does this nicely. I have all my contacts filed under Categories in Outlook (like Family, Friends, VIP, Business, etc.). RingtoneX lets me assign ringtones to each individual or by category. It works perfectly. Since you can create any category name you want it makes it real easy. (Only thing I've noticed is it didn't like spaces in my category names like "Friends 1", so I changed my category name to Friends_1 and now it works great).
Anyways, it's only $7 for the software, and it works very well.

Phone software with voice dial functionality?
Can somebody sugest phone software with voice dial functionality?
especialy I will apriciate reference to software supporting voice dial via bluetooh handsfree...

Flash messenger!!!

Im a new kid on software development and came out with my first application.. Flash messenger for Pocket PC..
This application allows u to send a message and the recipient will get it on their screen but wont be able to save that message..
This software has been tested on WM2003se with O2 XDA II mini..
Give a try.. and come out with yr coments..
This, the first version, freeware
I code for fun!

HI! I`ve just sent message to nokia6230 & its ouner can save it, i checked it!!!

Carty: are you sending these as Class 0?

I`ve just tried VJSMSSenderClass0 !!! & nokia can also save a message!
It`d be better with some little interface & contact database

rustoss:
How a phone deals with Class 0 is up to the phone. Most phones treat them as non save-able messages: SMS FAQ. If a Nokia wants to save them, that's for Nokia to decide
VJSMSSenderClass0 isn't supposed to have an interface, it's designed for Today plugins and shortcuts. I'll eventually do an interface based program for SMS type stuff, but none of VJPhoneTools was ever designed for GUI work.

Hello!
It work fine on the universal (jasjar)

what would be a benefit of sending an sms message that can't be saved on the reciepient's phone? Can anyone give me an example?
but good on carty and vijay to come up with nice progs.

O2mini_noob: it was discussed on the VJSMSSenderClass 0 thread, but basically, the "flash" SMS (class 0) will immediately show up on your screen without the user having to open it from the inbox. So it just pops open right on your screen. Our phones (and p900s, and others I guess) won't allow you to save them, which is again by design, Class 0 are really for flashing a quick signal etc to someone, not for recording info.
It's useful to sending SMS to those incapable of using their SMS inbox. But frankly, if you can't use an SMS inbox, you shouldn't be loose in society
V

oh that's cool :-D
SMS should be like this.....

VJ, if the flash sms can show without user going to inbox, i think this is dangerous as bad programmers can use it to spread viruses. i had a nokia 6600 which i used when i went back to philippines. i recieved a text fron unknown sender, i opened it, then after that my screen went black and i couldnt open it. switching it off then on didnt work. i wnet to a phoneshop, left it for a day to be fixed. they told me it was a virus!!!

VJ... can you please create a GUI program to simulate a nokia phone's keypad so that we can create ans send sms messages with just single hand, and no need to use stylus.
the built in imate jam's phone pad is useless. its difficult to use and you need to use stylus to input phone numbers in the 'TO' field.
cheers

nm8: I don't think currently any virus can spread though text (on WM2003 or WM5). Frankly, we're lucky if we receive texts, never mind viruses

I'll be doing my own SIPs in time, but not right now, too many other things to do. However, I will be accelerating work on a kind of "assisted" SMS app.

im telling the truth. there are viruses currently spread via text messages..i was a victim.
ill try blimkeys now, and i will wait for yours ..
thanx

I've no reason to doubt you nm8!
Try out blimkeys...
If you're very sadistic you can give this app a go:
However, the author himself doesn't recommend it!

LOL..if the author himself does not recommend it, why should I! LOL
first 5 minutes of blimkeys on my imate... dont like it, blimkeys uninstalled!
im looking for a more functional one... something that really can be used by single hand ... please make yours like a nokia keypad and functionality. im sure everyone is waiting. :idea: :idea: :idea:

Stand Alone Eten ZoomSMS !! working

i remember someone ask about how to modified ZoomSMS to working alone without scenerios and callfilter and its own missed call history(This apps use missed call history of itself and may intefere with phonealarm).
Concept is :
1.Put phoneservice.exe in Windows\ and put shortcut to startup folder and reset to let it resident in memory.
2.Remove taskbar icon by change this key.
HKLM\ControlPanel\Eten\ScenariosOption\Showicon
Change dword value from 1 to 0
Anyway,u may left it show but when u tap on it,it'll show error about missing something.
3.after 1 and 2 ,SMS-alert part on ZoomSMS is going to work fine but the Missed call alert,when u click on blue Missed call item it'll show error about finding quicklinksetting.exe (This is app. to run its own missed call history).
So u just grab tCallHistory.exe (wrote by someone here,i think) rename it to quicklinksetting.exe and put it in Windows\.Now see it work

use the NEXT VERSION!

screen shots mate?pls

A little trick to install very very quickly....
The little icon in the taskbar remain...however you can tap on it but do nothing!
No bad...
Just download, install and soft-reset!
P.s.
I have also replaced "quicklinksetting.exe" with another (better) one....
This little App simply display (using a beauty icon) on Today the missed calls and the unread SMS.....it alsto open the received sms in a proper magnified windows...
...sorry my bad english but at this moment i'm writing in 3 different language -I hate my university...eheheh...

this ought to be it, I guess. still, I would have to write on the small small tiny font sms writer, right?

Finally...this is an "EtenPack"...
the only differences is that this cab install the REAL "scenarios" to change the Phone's Profiles.....you can access to this program from the icon in the Today's Taskbar or from an icon in "Programs".....
Using scenarios u can configura 5 profiles!

hi there,
do you know what's the shortcut path for Eten's ZoomSMS blue icon?
where does it redirect to?

Excuse me, work on my HTC P3300? Thank you

it works! thanks a lot.
i couldn't use the one made by AX3L as it has speed and response issues with my BA (on WM5, Aku 3.3).

hi spring777,
great that you start developing!!!

what do you mean "do a missed call" ?
for example i choose someone from the contactlist, click "Hacer Perdida!", and then the person got a missed call on ther device?
maybe you can describe it a little better...thx in advance

sound great but.....huh?

what's the point of this program? :s

Cool idea! I'm curious what is the algorithm to give someone a "missed call". Do you just hang up after the first ring? what if they answer their phone in the first ring? How reliable is this?

Can you click on the Detais Button in the error and give me the error?
IN THE COUNTRY CODE DON NOT WRITE "+" JUST THE NUMBER

Is this error because it is not in english language? I would like to try this one, but no go for megaupload. Can you upload it some other place?

Program updated I think i fix many errors with the settings, and if you have any problems send me the error.log that is created in the device "\Error.log" and the "Ajus.xml" too if you can

So just to verify, there is no cost involved in using "spoofapp" Right?

I use a spoof calling card (spoofcard.com). It's a great tool, but I'd love to have an app on my phone (it's inconvenient calling an 800#, entering my calling card number, entering my destination number, entering my desired caller id number, etc....). Do you know if I can enter my card details on this app, or do I have to buy their service?
EDIT: haha, awesome, it works with the spoofcard!

bluffmycall working
ok people it is up and running, at least on tmobile tp2 with stocked rom. it allows u to make a free two min. calls to any phone number and allows you to put a fake number on the caller id, home or land line will show the name too.
the program is on my sd card. the app itself isn't flashy, it is just a plain white screen, with places to put the numbers. the only problem is it say that the free version doesn't not allow recording or voice change which kinda sucks. but this one is free. spoof app allow voice changeing and recording, but cost $5 for 25credits. but when you sign up you get 6 free credits, then after those are going if you want to use it you must by credits

when I try it it says it is placing the call and to press ok if it's correct and cancel if it's wrong. Regardless of what I press it just goes back to the 'make call' screen.

for which one are you talking about? spoof app or bluff my calls?

i tried the bluff.cab program but its telling me that i must insert a calling code (011) or + or something similar to that...is there an easier way to use this or can someone help me figure out how to use this...thanks in advance

some number are not allowed, like 911 or useing the same spoof number to match the really phone number. when i do it i alway use 1 and a real area code such as 1-312 and then a fake number 555-5555. it works just play around with it. i have been having fun with it all nite.
don't know about other phones or roms
i have tmobile tp2 stock rom
