sms + call

Hi, i need to make a call with a number received from an sms, or to the sender of the sms. I need to add a prefix too and i cannot save the number on my address book.
Is there any program to do that?
thanks

i know what you mean. some phones have the highlight function of msgs, so when you recieve a number in an sms it automaticly highlights it for editing or calling. but what i do, is open the message, forward it and then you can edit it before you send a forward. from there highlight the number you want, copy and paste it into a new contact card. if theres a simpler way i'd love to know. maybe we can all bug imate/htc about this and they'll add a highlight function. or is the messaging app the same on all windows mobile phones?

This is a simpler way:
- open the sms and underline the number and press copy.
if you want to call it
- press the green button.
if you want to modify it
- paste into a note and modify it
- copy and paste into the phone

a couple quesitons..
when you say underline do you mean highlight? cuz i do that, highlight the number in the text msg and press call and it calls the message sender not the number in the message. also you cant copy it from the message in an inbox, you have to select forward to edit it and then you can copy it there. i was having problems with pasting it in the phone but just realized you have to tap edit on the bottom left then paste, you cant tap and hold to paste it.

Change repeat setting of Alarm/Reminder

The clock of WM stop ring after 1 or 2 ring... can I set it continue to ring until I stop it please?

Up,
Is there a hack in the registry to change the repeate of the reminder/alarm please? The alarm default of WM is too poor, it ring 1 or 2 times and stop (the distance between 2 ring is also very long), it's impossible to wake up with that.
I don't understand why, to this version WM6, crosoft do not fix this problem and let WM user look for always an alternative software solution

Ya I don't know why WM has such a crappy alarm interface.
I'm finiding the ringer to lack mp3 support and also repeating the alarm.
I know about 3rd party programs SPBtime/Chronos, but I'm afraid its going to kill battery for something that WM should already have been doing.

How to Enable Repeat Play Audio Sound Notifications in Windows Mobile
How to Enable Repeat Play Audio Sound Notifications in Windows Mobile
=====================================================
In Windows Mobile Pocket PC smartphone device, user can configure and set sounds and notifications alert for various events and activities that happening on the device. The notification alerts can be playing a custom selected sound, ring tone or tune, display message on screen, flash keypad light, or vibrate.
And user can customize their favorite alert music audio and notification method for events such as incoming new e-mail messages, MMS messages, SMS text messages, missed call and voice mail the phone received. However, the notification alert for each event happens just once for one time. Supposedly, it’s possible to set the notification such as beeping and playing audio sound recurringly and repetitively until user acknowledge the e-mail, MMS, SMS or other events.
There is an option of “Repeat” for “Playing sound” in “Sounds & Notifications” control panel of Windows Mobile. However, the “Repeat” check box is always grayed out and disabled for most events, except few events such as Reminder. So user cannot select “Repeat” option in order to make notification alert recurring and repeat.
There is registry hack that able to enable the “Repeat” check box in “Sounds & Notifications” control panel. To perform the change on Windows Mobile registry, a registry editor such as PHM Registry Editor, Mobile Registry Editor or CeRegEditor is required.
In Registry Editor, navigate to the following registry key branch:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications
There is a lot of registry sub-key inside the Notifications folder. Search through one by one to find and locate a registry entry that has its Default (REG_SZ) value as the name of the event. For example, Messaging: New e-mail message, Messaging: New text message, Messaging: New MMS message, Phone: Missed call and etc.
Once found the correct registry sub-key that represents the event that you want to enable the “Repeat” option, edit the value data for Options value name. Change the value to 1073741835 (in Decimal base) or 4000000B (in Hexadecimal HEX base format). Save and exit from registry editor.
Now the Repeat check box is enabled, and user should be able to set repetitive and recurring event notifications.
The alerts appear to completely stop at 10 minutes.
For example a text message comes in, you get an alert
You get an alert every 30 seconds for 3 minutes
You get one alert at 5 minutes
You get one final alert at 10 minutes

Tweak and Configure How Notifications Work in Windows Mobile Notifications
Tweak and Configure How Notifications Work in Windows Mobile Notifications
=========================================================
Windows Mobile powered device (including WM5, WM6 and WM6.1) has a registry key that allows user to tweak, control, configure and customize how notifications work in the mobile Pocket PC (PPC) device. For example, whether a notification should shows or hides the icon in taskbar, play notification sound, pop up notification bubble for user to dismiss or vibrate.
One notification that can be configured via the said registry key is SMS sent notification, other than the SMSNoSentMsg registry key. Then Options registry entry, under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\Default registry branch, when changed to reflect user own preference, may affect other notification in Windows Mobile device too, especially those unable to configure via Sounds and Notifications control panel GUI.
To perform the registry hack to configure different settings for notifications in Windows Mobile, run any registry editor on Windows Mobile device (such as PHM Registry Editor) or remotely access mobile device registry with CeRegEditor from desktop PC, and then navigate to the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\Default\Options
Then, change the DWORD value to any of the following value, which also shows its corresponding results on notification respond, depending on user’s preference:
• 0 - Show icon
• 1 - Show icon and play notification sound
• 2 - Show icon and vibration
• 3 - Show icon and vibration and play notification sound
• 4 - Same as 0
• 5 - Same as 1
• 6 - Same as 3
• 7 - Same as 3
• 8 - Show icon and notification bubble
• 9 - Show icon and play notification sound and show notification bubble
• 10 - Show icon and notification bubble and vibration
• 11 - Show icon and play notification sound and show notification bubble and vibration
• 13 - Same as 1
The change takes effect effectively.

[REQ] Notifications and SMS to PC

I am putting this idea out there in case anyone would be willing to develop the app. Originally I got the idea from the XBMC Remote. It has the following features:
On incoming call, display who's calling on TV screen and pause video until call is over
On incoming message, display on TV screen
This shows that it is perfectly possible to output the information. Now if we could only get similar functionality to the pc. Having your call information or texts displayed as either notification popups and/or within an app that lists all calls and txts.
We could even take it a step further by including the functionality found in google voice and other pc sms apps to give the ability to respond to txts, or answer and initiate calls to the phone.
All in all, on the user end they could be able to control all this by the use of:
Popup notifications
Small task bar with shortcuts to each option, a count of unread messages, and current phone status (ie in call etc).
A full fledged application to control all of the above, as well as view a full contact list, message history, call history, and anything else we can get the phone to output.

[Q] Profile Image for Android's Voicemail

Hi,
Is it possible to add a profile image to the Android voicemail contact that appears in the phone call history when you touch a voicemail entry in the notification pull down?
I've spent quite a bit of time collecting images for all my contacts and, though I know it isn't a bug in Android, it bother me to see the blank voicemail profile image among the phone call history items. Touching those history items does pull up a contact entry for voicemail but there doesn't seem to be a way to edit it. Is there something that I'm overlooking or is it just not possible yet to do so?

I have the same Problem.
I want to put in an Image which contains all the tone dail numbers of my Voicemail.
It's so disgusting to wait for the woman's voice who says "for ... press 1, for ... press 2" etc.
I'll hope there will be a possibility

Blocked Call List - Quickly Accessing, Searching and Sorting

This question is not specific to the Nexus 6P, but that is the phone I carry.
I add 2 or 3 phone numbers (telemarketers) to my blocked call list every week. When a telemarketer calls, I (1) hang up, (2) go to the call log, (3) tap the call record to expand it, (4) tap "call details", then (5) select "block number." That's all very simple.
The issue is that now that I have dozens or hundreds of blocked numbers , when I miss a call, there's no easy way to see if the missed call was from a number on my blocked list. A missed call from a blocked number looks the same as a missed call from an un-blocked number (unless they're in my contact list).
I can scroll through (but not search or sort) my blocked call list by (1) opening phone app, (2) tapping "Settings" in the primary menu, then (3) tapping "Call Blocking." This presents a list of all of the numbers that I've ever blocked, but I can't search it and I can't sort it.
In a perfect world, the Call Log would somehow show a flag for missed calls from blocked numbers so that I don't have to search the list to see if the number is blocked. In an even more perfect world, a tap on that number would take me to a detail page showing all the times that number has called and been blocked. Finally, the blocked number list would be both searchable and sortable.
I think that most/all of this could be accomplished by a 3d party app - for which I'd gladly pay five bucks. There are lots of call blocking apps on the market, but they all appear to operate separately from the Android native call blocking function.
Q. - Any suggestions on how to make this better?

if you miss a call using stock dialer.app call blocking, and the number is on the block list, there is no record of it in your call log.
The whole point of blocking the call is so there is no trace of it.

>>> The whole point of blocking the call is so there is no trace of it.
I disagree. The whole point of blocking is not to be interrupted by a call from an unwanted caller. The point of a log is to make a record of incoming and outgoing call - and attempted call - activity.

then in that case you should use do not disturb.
call blocking is just that, blocking a call.

Agreed. Don't ring the phone, but I would like to see a log of the blocked calls, so I can tell how persistent a spammer is.
