I'm looking for a program that will say who is calling and be able to hear it on my jawbone2. Main reason is I usually have my phone in my holster or on my desk. So I can't always see who is calling. It would be very helpful if I could hear who is calling with out having to run to my phone to see who it is.
MSVC - Microsoft Voice Command
I don;t think MSVC is very effective. It does say the number but you can't follow it. It's like doing its job for no purpose.. By the time you figure out what it says, you may miss the call or reach out for the display.

Carty..
This is an idea, though not very good, but an idea nonetheless.
maybe you can use one of those Text to speech apps to record all the names of your contacts. Then save them to your phone and assign them each the proper one.
so the ringtone would be "John calling..." or whatever you want.
yeah?

Just record yourself saying their name and set it as their ringtone.
Setting as a ringtone won't work because if I'm at work my phone is on vibrate. Plus sometimes I'm in the other room so I can't hear my phone ring.

I think you should try MSVC. It talks fast, but it does say the caller name. I find that since the phone will vibrate/ring for about a second before MSVC starts talking I'm usually ready to listen to what it's saying. I use it when driving and it's invaluable.
I don't know how the wing is setup, but on my phone (sprint touch) I hear all ringers through the bluetooth headset when it's connected - it does not come out the speakers. If there is a way to arrange that you could make the ringtone idea work too.
I think MSVC takes some getting used to, but once you're used it you can understand it. Of course, it is much easier to understand it if its announcing a name (as it does if the callers is one of your contacts) than if it is just saying the phone number.

hi all,
if my mda rings, i want to be able to like 'mute' it. i can do this by 'pulling down' the volume slide button (second left from top) while a phone call comes in, but the software keeps showing that the phone is ringing.
is there a way (or software) which allows me to choose to 'mute' the call, while not interfering with my software?: like saying:
"ok i understand someones calling me, don't REJECT that someone, but let the phone ring (for that someone), while at the same time not informing me (anymore) that im being called!"

Use the Volume button to turn off the sound when you receive a call. ( Move it up or down)
Yeah I agree... I'd like to see an IGNORE - or SILENT button like the nokia OS has.
I hate having to pull the phone out of my pocked - look at the caller and think "nah, don't wanna talk to them", and not have a button to click on...
Saying all that, after a month you get used to hitting the volume on the side... one tap and the phone stops ringing...
As far as I know - thats it...

hi.
i know of such a program for the ppc pe, it's called:
"Call SMS Blocker Lite v0.5.5"
http://www.aditusnet.it/crino/crisoft/prodotto.asp?id=11
The thing is, here you preset what is blocked or not, and it works OK, but:
It still does not allow you to silently surpress an incoming call AD HOC and carry on with whatever you are doing on your ppc pe :roll:
Dear all,
Is it possible to configure my XDA Exec such that the persons ringing me can hear my MP3 ringtone as well ?
Thanks
ringtone
ummm, i don't think that is possible, but here, tmobile US has this thing called caller tunes, where you set your account to play a song instead of the pulsing ringing sound when someone is calling you.
In israel we have the same thing,
In israel we have the same thing,
HOWEVER - technically you could do it:
its like a fax machine when it picks up and hears its not a fax call:
it answers, and other side hears a "still no answer" tone and the fax still rings.
you have to write a program that answers the second the call is recieved, starts an mp3 program with a file, and your phone is on mute,
and upon pressing "send" key un-mutes your phone and stops the music.
just dont forget to tell program to hangup after a minute or so
BUT - you have to check when you are on the phone with some 1 and you play an mp3 on WMP or other player - if the other side hears the music while he's muted.
would be a really good idea !
If all you want to do is let them hear it while talking to them, you could get them on the phone and go into phone settings and click play next to the ringtone. They would hear it by proxy so to speak.

I had something like that on my old Sony J5 mobile phone from a few years ago, an answerphone built into it onto which you could record any answerphone message you wanted.
It is possible. Had a girlfriend once whose phone did that. T-mobile UK and a one-off fee. Cant remember how much though.
I had it also, was totally crap as I had one hell of a lot of missed calls, people would call, it would start ringing, they'd go "What the f....." and hang up!!
It was useful, you could hear them but they could only hear the soundeffect/answerphone phone message, not the microphone, so you could interrupt it if you wanted to talk to them and if not they believed it was just an answerphone.
MP3 caller tune
Dear all, Thank you all for your comments and suggestions, etc.
What I mean is something just mentioned in this post, called caller tune.
Basically, what I want is: the caller can hear MP3 from my phone instead of that boring "pulsed ringing" before I answer the call.
i dont think that will be possible, surlly thats the phone companies ownership
Of course its possible - answer the phone the second it rings, and hold it near your stereo ;o)
A word of caution to fellow T-Mobile Wing owners:
I've found out that (occasionally) when my phone is ringing, the microphone is on and the caller can hear everything! My wife mentioned that she notices this when she calls. She can hear the ringer, and can hear me talking to others BEFORE I answer the phone! This can be really bad! The last thing I need is someone calling and hearing me mutter "What the #$%^ does this $%^& want now?" Plus it gives a big feeling of lack of privacy.
I thought surely it was a fluke, so called my self via landline and found it happened about 1 out of 10 or 15 times.
My next thought was it was software - some 3rd party app or tweak had caused it, so I hard reset back to the default stock ROM and still had the same problem. I installed a few different cooked ROMs, and still had the same problem.
The next troubleshooting step is to rule out hardware. My brother and coworker also use a Wing. I tried the same test and found the same issue there, so it wasn't unique to my device.
I called T-Mobile support to see if there was anything they could do, and they gave me a few bonehead suggestions: swap sim cards, hard reset, make sure the battery is fully charged...
Since this issue occurs:
1. With a clean stock ROM
2. With different cooked ROMs
3. On multiple devices
I don't really know what can be done about this. All I can do is watch my mouth while my phone is ringing until the T-MO Diamond or whatever Android phone they release comes out...
Anyone have any ideas? All you other Wing owners may want to try this yourself, or ask someone who calls you often if they've noticed it!
Ryan
oh wow no wonder.
its happend to me before.
but only once so im good.
thanks for clarification
This happens to me quite frequently. If you quickly put the phone to your ear when you answer you can hear your ringtone still playing, but hear the person on the other line as well. I think it's more along the lines of a delay in your ringer shutting off rather than the mic turning on.
Just my opinion. Maybe I'm wrong.

I do experience what you're describing, but this is different. If I leave the phone sitting on the counter, then somebody calls me, they can hear my ringer and anything going on around the phone even if I don't touch it.
It's like the phone mic occasionally turns itself on, and the caller hears the open mic instead of the normal dialing tone.

hi, i was wondering if already exist a software that allow to turn off the mobile alarm just speaking to the phone, saying a word previously learned..
i.e. "ok" or "shutup!!" or "f*c*o*f" or clapping hands...
is there any software has the option to do this?
I think the software might have a tough time listening to your voice, WHILE the alarm is going off... don't you think ?

I was thinking along the lines of STFU
but NRGZ28 is right. It might be a little difficult to isolate your voice from the alarm. Even M$ Voice Command, which in my opinion is one of the best voice recognition softwares for PPC had a really hard time understanding me when I was either outside, driving in my car, or around any type of outside sound...
Maybe with the right filters, who knows?
I would LOVE such an application...
Rather than trying to filter out the problem, I'd try for an "on off" solution. The programs listens when the alarm isn't sounding. The alarms beeps for like 2 seconds, then pauses to listen for 2 seconds, then beeps for two seconds, then pauses to listen for 2 seconds. It'd go like:
BEEP - BEEP - BEEP - BEEP [---------pause-------] BEEP - BEEP - BEEP - BEEP, etc.
good idea. that would work.
Lol i already imagine how my ppc rings every morning and i keep crying " shut the dam **** up" XD
You know those guys who trows their alarm clock onto the wall? My voice would do same^^
Please!!! Any good coder built something like this!
RedRamage had a good idea...but...
when i call using the speakerphone my friend doesn't hear his own voice..so i think it would be possible to make the ppc not to hear the alarm ring or the music it is playing
btw...i think there's not any software cas do this already, right?
Great idea
This is a great idea for an app. It would be a bad idea for me because I would just shout and then go back to sleep! Maybe someone knows how echo cancellation works in Skype for WinMo.

The HTC's "Missed Call" concept is amazing and very _annoying_ to me.
Tell me if I'm the only one or there are others who feel like me.
Here's the problem:
Generally speaking, when someone calls you, you have three options (irrespective of the phone you use):
1. Accept (answer the call)
2. Reject (cancel immediately the incoming call)
3. Ignore (let the phone ring until the caller or the carrier quits the incoming call)
Now, when I get called on my TD2, I have 2 options: "Answer" and "Ignore".
In fact HTC's "Ignore" is functioning as what normally is called "Reject".
But, Ignoring and Rejecting are two different things.
If I Reject, it means I don't want to take the call and the caller understands that right away.
If I Ignore, for the caller it means either I don't want to take the call or I cannot answer for various reasons.
But HTC has messed up these concepts.
The problem is that if I intentionally reject a call (Ignore according to HTC) that call is still reported as a Missed Call (plus the green flash).
Now, I've never seen on a mobile phone a rejected call to be registered as a missed call.
I don't pretend I've used all mobile phones in the world, but I have never encountered this concept.
... and it's annoying.
I want to be informed about the calls I "MISSED" not the calls I've deliberately rejected.
Am I the only one annoyed by this?
are you reffering to the slide options (left / right) or to the button below the slider?

Yes. When you get a call you either slide to "Answer" or "Ignore".
However, "Ignore" is really rejecting a call.
.................
@Bothkill
I am bothered by this too. I always thought when I was ignoring a call the ringtone was going to silent but the caller was still ringing a bit like on Nokia's.
Exactly, this "concept" of ignore/reject it's also annoys me! Not mention the missed call when you reject the call ! This is weird also for me !
Correct me if I'm wrong since I do not have the phone, but can't you silence a ring by turning the phone over (face down) in essence, ignoring the call?
Another neat trick is something that the accelerometer makes the phone NOT do; the simple act of flipping the Diamond over on its face puts it immediately into silent mode. No more embarrassing rings during meetings.

Also here, very annoying.
Not speaking for muting the sound, but rejecting call and it's going as missed call.
It's stupid.
When you get call in TD2 you will have slide for "Answer" and "Ignore" and another button for "Mute Ring".
Any mobile will have 3 types of call in the register: Incomming, Outgoing and Missed.
Incomming Calls: 2 Types:
a) Received
b) Missed
So you can "answer" the call using "Answer" slide: This will register in "Incomming" calls.
"Reject" the call using "Ignore" slide: This will register in "Missed" call.
Why??? You might have rejected the call for many reasons or you may want to know the calls that you have rejected, so Missed calles. This is EQUAL to the actual MISSED Calls, where you did not see your phone when the call came in.
And "Mute the Ringtone" using "Mute Ring" button. This will register the call based on your response with slide button as above. May be Received or Missed
And Finally you have "Outgoing Calls".
So can you specify if the calls that you reject does not get register under "Missed" where it should go?

Did your previous phone(s) worked like that (i.e. registering Rejected calls as missed)?

Where it should go? or where does it goes in your previous phone(s)?
As far as I know, all the WM phones (standard & professional) act this way. Rejecting a call (or ignore in HTC) as well as pressing the hang up hardware button will rejister the call as a missed call (with the corresponding led notification).
As for regular phones, my older SonyEricsson phones used to behave in the same way. But Nokia phones actually treat rejected calls as recieved calls & not as missed calls.
Each type of behavior has its own benifits & disadvantages. But it would be nice if we could choose which behavior the phone does since WM phones are highly customizable.

This will be really great some senior registry guy should reply this with the related change
Missed calls are calls missed!
Prabat is correct, it does make sense....
if you rejected a call or ignores it, it means you missed that call coz you did not answere it, make sense right?
whatever your reasons are for not taking the call or by rejecting it, STILL you didnt took the call so simply means you missed it.
unanswered calls either by ignoring or rejecting SHOULD be listed under MISSED calls and thats common sense....
Suppose I have to take the train to get somewhere.
If I tell you I have missed the train what do you make of it?
That I failed to reach it in time or can it also mean that I was there just one meter from the train but I refused to get on it?
MISSED means I was not there, couldn't make it on time etc.
Common sense tells me that a missed call is a call I missed to acknowledge (i.e. missed to take any decision about it: answer or reject).
P.S.
Thinking more about it, I understand that you mistake "call" for "conversation" and HTC does the same.
What you describe is a missed conversation.
But call and conversation are two different things.
When somebody calls you (and I'm not referring only to telephony) if you answer the call, the conversation starts.
But when I don't hear when somebody calls me, then I missed that call, (i.e. I have a missed call).
As a phone user I am interested of being notified about the calls made to me and which I was not aware about.
To better describe the difference between call and conversation:
Somebody calls me.
I answer (I accepted the call).
I immediately cut off the phone connection (no conversation occurs) --> I have a missed conversation since I didn't talk with the other person.
The end result: no missed calls, one missed conversation.
The HTC Diamond 2 doesn't notify me of any missed "things" because I didn't miss any calls (and I agree with it). But I have missed a conversation and my phone doesn't know that.
The phone's job is to notify me about missed calls, and not about missed conversations.
Imagine the following dialogue:
Wife: Hey dear, why didn't you answer my first call?
Husband (drunk): Oh.. no.. dear... I missed it..!
Wife: You liar!
Husband (drunk): Oh.. no.. I can prove it. Look my led is flashing, it means it could be your missed call, let me check..
Wife: Oh no you bastard, you rejected it on purpose, but you're using that weird HTC "Missed Call" concept in order to look innocent. You've drinking with the boys again, haven't you ?!!!
at least thumbs up for the very fanciful story
Even I feel that the "Rejected" calls should go into "received calls" list.
I thought that my phone had a software problem. Now I know.
But, even if the call goes in the "missed calls" list, maybe it can give a notification that the call was deliberately "Rejected"...
Any help would be greatly appreciated since this problem is bugging me.
Thanks.
