Answer Machine software on the XDA II

A long time back I bought some software for my SPV which was an answer machine, which was based on the actual phone rather than through the provider (Orange).
With this software, you could record your own greeting also stored on the phone itself, and if you missed a call or rejected one, it would be saved as a voicemail on your phone or on your memory card, with details of the number that left it.
You could select other different options like how many rings before it kicked in etc.
This saved having to pay to retrieve voicemails from the provider and was a very useful program.
Does anyone know if there is something similar for the XDA II available anywhere?
Thanks in advance

I haven't heard of such software, and have been looking for one as well.
I cannot believe it is not possible to have a software answering machine.

it is indeed
the first one and the only one i know was on the sony Z5 and M-Z5 phone witch is already 3 or 4 years old
it included a real answering machine on the phone independant from the one of the operator.
so i guess it might be possible on a smartphone but i ve never seen it on the orange SPV.

Sorry, my mistake there, it wasn't on my first SPV at all , it was on my Nokia 7650 and it was called AnsweringMachine_101
I still have the downloaded "sis" file here but am sure it wouldn't work on my XDA? :? :? :?

he he,lol..
Yes,answering machines softwares are popular on Symbian Based Phones.
But there ins't actually soft like that to ppc..or maybe try search on PocketGear.
Will be very interesting to have a Symbian Emulator to ppc!
Good luck!

I've been wanting to do this. Does anyone have any detail on accessing the phone (radio?) wave IO from the .Net Compact Framework? Standard DLL calls are, of course, an option.

Didn't the HP Jornada w928 Pocket PC Phone Edition include onboard answering machine software? I seem to remember reading that it did.

it is impossible to make an answering machine on PocketPC 2003 OS. This is a software and mostly hardware limitation. When call is established the audio output from wave driver is muted, and there is no way to make it play into the phone line so that other side would hear it. And there is no TAPI "wave/in/out" devices that are used by answering machine software on "big" compiters in PocketPC 2003. Built-in GSM modem in all phones I've checked, also does not have voice AT-commands like on voice modems on "big" computers.
Maybe Wince 5.0 would implement all needed functionality.
If there would exist a way of "unmuting" the waveOut device during a call, than it would be easy to write such a program for PocketPC.

Unmuting should be possible using calls to the core system DLL(s). All the same, VS.Net 2005 & WM2005 & its .Net CF will have SMS/Wave/TAPI functionality (so I've read) - hope I get them at work!

"Built-in answering machine with deferred answering
support"

"The 928 comes with voice-activation software, and--this is cool--has a built-in answering machine. This is not software to control your mobile carrier's voice-mail, this is an answering machine built into your PDA. "
Yep, the Jornada 928 WDA Pocket PC Phone 2002 had built-in answering machine software. I wonder who made that program and if it would work on an XDA.

Thank You

You really need to read this thread.
You are a prime candidate for this kind of thing.
As for your question:
1) There is a great new invention called google.com
2) Had you used that invention or the site search engine you would know that answering machine software was discussed here many times in great detail.
3) If you bothered reading, you would know that:
a) Hardware on most WM 5 phone does not allow for answering machine.
b) Those phones that allow it come with the software built in (like g-smart if I am not mistaken)
c) There is a solution (don't remember the links, refer to section 1) that claims to work fairly well on many but phones it is not free.
Have a nice day.

Try ISecretary
This worked for me on HTC Touch.

thanks
your good rom

Isecrtry works for HTC touch P3450

iSecretary v4.4 - one really nice working answering machine for Your Windows Mobile

A lot of Windows Mobile users have been asking for answering machines for years. While it has long been available on competing mobile smartphone platforms (for example, Smart Answer for the S60), for Windows Mobile, so far, there wasn't a generic one - that is, one that wasn't shipped along with a specific Pocket PC model only.
Now, this seems to be changing: the first "real" answering machine has been released for WM Pocket PC's.
iSecretary is one really nice working answering machine for Your Windows Mobile Pocket PC.
Features:
- Lifts the handset automatically when the preset time expires.
- Plays the file to the caller.
- Records your caller's message within the limits of preset time and hangs up.
- Contact list filter (choose an individual wav for each contact or group of contacts).
- Ignore list.
- Compatible with speakerphone (for PDA which can not work with signal in line).
- Autoload after SoftReset.
- Speakerphone volume control.
- Microphone control (its work with some PDA, For example: ASUS P525).
- Black list, reject ringing (filtering by phone number).
- Notify system.
- Task bar icon.
- Events system, send sms or voice message by rules.
- Emulate sound around you.

Tested devices on this moment (fully support):
ASUS P525, DOPOD M700, ASUS P535, ASUS P735, HTC Wizard, HTC Touch, I-Mate Jam, Rover E5, I-MATE JASJAR, Eten M600+, E-TEN G500, Toshiba Portege g900.

Thank u very much, works fine

does this means that now we have a way to record calls? It was the same problem, and now its fixed!
COOL!

turns off
isecretary turn off when we keep it on standby or power off mode...
ne solutions????

So doesn't work on the mogul?

iSecretary
I dont like it because of the hardware issues with not be able to record without speaker phone, plus this is useless if you have no signal, or turn off your phone.
The alternative that does private/unkown blocking, and allows custom messages for any caller you choose is http://www.youmail.com/.
I started using it last night with my ATT Tilt, and it integrated flawlessly with my service, I can't even tell I'm not using the default service (except that its much cooler).
As far as quick dumping calls it helps to get a firewall, seen a couple free ones around xda that look good, but since I already have spb phonesuite I just use th blacklist built into it.

Tried the latest version 4.6 on BlackStone. It did take the call. However got no greeting message. Still I continued to speak. But i didn't record (no wav file was saved).
I think recording should now be very much possible with running ICR in the background if not possible to code a custom recorder. Hopefully they can fix this.

ohh please wake up al!!
Dear al!!!
Before you try this soft. and start asking questions,I can tell u I have more win mobile handsetts,and not even the above mentioned phones are ok for this software.No flowless working yet.
I think the 4.4 version is lower than the 4.6!Even this latest works exact like S>H>I>T!Unfortunatly.
So hear my request LORD of h.a.c.k.s...Please someone who understand this winmo programms,build finally and for all a nice answering machine.On nokia the guys are already set wit the nice app.
Why we still have a lot of useless program,but no such as this what helps for sure more than hundreds of users????
thank you in the name of suffering Bill Gates haters! helios

isecretary is a good application but i am looking for a specific feature. I want the application to route calls at a specific time to answering machine and accept only calls from white list.
lets say after 12 night, i want calls to be accepted in white list while all other calls go into answering machine without even a single ring

those this do any extra charges on the phone??

Voice Command for X1

i found an awesome voice command program for all windows moblie phones. It was designed on a WM 5 verison. i tired it on my X1, it worked well, i could use all functions like calling a contact, starting up and app, finding out my next appointment and so on but just giving simple voice requests and the it use to reply back. the only problem was that when i recieved a call..the voice would not work (as its suppose to tell me who's calling).
does anyone know of a full voice command program fully compatiable on the X1 as this one works brillantly on HTC's and omnia's but not the X1.
Please let me know how it works or if anyone knows of a better voice command program for the X1 or WM6.1 specifically. thanks.

Care to share the name of that "awesome voice command program for all windows moblie phones"?

They are talking about Microsoft's Voice Command. The issue of not announcing incoming calls is well known on the X1 and, as far as I know, there is not fix for it.
Sadly, while other companies have tried to implement voice control software of their own, they are never quite as good as Microsoft's version.

OMG giefv plx !!!
wait a second, i feel a disturbance in the search function

thanks for the replies..it is the Microsoft voice command. but i did some research on it now and yes the incoming call annoucements are an issue on the X1. also after i installed the MSVC..my screen started flickering non-stop even after a soft-reset. i had to unistall it and reset..after 4 restarts it worked fine again.
its an awesome program if it worked 100%!!

ive used MVC for a while now on my x1, its cool i have it set up on right hardware button. Best feature for me is it reads text messages outloud ( turn sms ringtone off) great program

[Q] [REQ] Built-In Voicemail app?

I Believe Nokia's old symbian OS had this software... where the phone itself becomes the answering machine.. and records people's voicemail and display it to you in a "Visual Voicemail" interface..
I believe it was due to Nokia's soundcard.... which was able to play songs off ur phone while ur talking to someone and they'll be able to hear it as well ... it plays through the mic.. or something..
Someone tried this on windows mobile... "personal secretary"? i think it was called.. but it only worked on certain phones... my Tytn nor my HTC Diamond was able to work it...properly
Anyways back to topic, now that i found out that my Vibrant is able to play music as well, while i'm on a phonecall........
is it possible to create the same app??
i'm willing to donate for the person who can achieve this...
So the question is.. how many of you would like to see this app as well

What are the benefits of this over TMo's Visual Voicemail app?
-bZj

I would rather have a service that works when my phone is off or out of cell phone coverage.
