Voice Calling for the Shift?

There is a utility in Windows XP called "Dialer". You can configure it to use the modem connected to the computer to make voice calls. It is located in the folder Program Files\Windows NT:
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/...ddocs/en-us/dialer_whatis_intro.mspx?mfr=true
In the past, I have used dedicated modems over land-lines to place voice calls using Dialer. In theory, wouldn't it be possible to configure this same utility to place a voice call with the wireless modem built-in to the Shift?
Does Vista include this utility? If not, couldn't it be easily copied from an XP machine to the Shift?

Why
the shift will inclue voice dialling out of the box so not much point to your suggestion but thanks all the same

according to some reviews there are NO Voice capabilities in Shift!!!

Some news reports are wrong.. and no one has seen a production device yet Htc only just got the FCC approval for voice on a device that is the exact same form factor of the shift and the people that are making the device have leaked out to people on these forums (a few weeks ago) that it does deffinatly have voice and gps which has now being confimed (the gps was confirmed about two days ago by a MS worker)

thank you. yes voice and gps.

Hmmm. So when the official European HTC website, Shift section lists both the full Users Guide and Quick Start Guide && When neither mention the GPS or voice capabilitiels.
WELL
If they are included then HTC should re-write it's manuals.

i agree
and im sure they will update it now they have the full licence from the FCC to distribute the dev ice with voice capability

A little review to look at!

Oh yes he does but... look at the date the video review was done its about six months old it almost predates mmobile fones (lol) and the review is based on a very very early rom since this time gps has being confirmed which is not mentioned as it wasnt known back then and ohhh look htc have put the release dte back to january so who knows what there gunna change??????

yes it has gps 100%,but under vista with what software?
there is not clear until now.

for now use tomtom google maps or whtever in WM6 and once decent gps software is avaiable for vista get that instead!!

FCC approval is only for US market.

Yes but if ur going too release something this good to the world is it not better to have approval in what will be one of the biggest buyers for the product.. it makes sense to me and 100% of computer devices i have have the fcc approval but i live in uk.

The user manual is available to download from HTC now and there's NO mention of voice capabilities whatsoever!
Sucks ass big time - this was my only hope of having a decent PC and phone - looks like the flybook is a better (but much more expensive) option as the new ones have faster HSDPA and voice!

If you read on Mobileplanet, they spec gps for the US Version but not for the european version. Is this true there fore we should wait for the US one?

would u idiots for lack of a more meaningful word stop looking at the user manuals and what is online and look at a better source who says the shift has phone capabilities. i replicated snapvue on my athena. one of the options when u go to settings is phone where u choose ur profile, ring type, bands, etc.. like in settings/phone of say the athena. IT HAS A PHONE IN IT!! bangelboy even showed the dialer on his.

He's right, check out this video.

Even bangelboy, if you check his website, was not sure that cell phone services would be part of the final production model, although he was hopeful that it would be. Yet, all HTC indications in all their documentation is that cell phone services are not included.
Yes, the hardware is there, but there are some problems, perhaps legal patent rights, that are stalling what we want the HTC Shift to perform. It might still be a case for XDA developers to work out.
I would be happy to have the assurance of your sources, as the evidence at this point seems not to be favorable. It is good for you that you have faith in your sources, but without ascertaining their veracity, out of the box, it is hard to believe the Shift is configured for cell phone service. Would you care to share your sources with us?

Bluetooth Keyboard Support?

Hey guys, I'm about to order a Galaxy S, but there's one very pressing question I have before doing so. The phone includes the thinkfree office app, but editing/creating documents with an onscreen keyboard (even swype) is nearly impossible. I need a phone that I can quickly edit some docs with it on the train, so i was wondering, is it possible to hook up a bluetooth keyboard to this phone? I know the streak has this profile, so is it possible to port it to the galaxy S if it doesn't have it? Thanks in advance guys!

There's an open issue for this over at android google code: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1147
in the comments to this issue someone mentioned this link: http://www.teksoftco.com/index.php?section=blueinputandroid
quote from the site:
BlueInput is the only Bluetooth HID Driver available for the Android platform. Using our driver, you can easily connect bluetooth keyboards to your Android, and enjoy the comfort of a wireless input device.

i'm going to test this tomorrow with a Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000 and report back.

Thanks man, I'd never heard of the app before. They mention an unlimited trial of their app online, but purchasing it costs $9.99. If you're familiar with the software, what are the limitations of the trial? Also as a galaxy S user, what are your impressions of thinkfree office? Is it an actual decent editor for rich word documents on the go? Would you need the bigger screen of the streak to make it truly competent or is the 4 inch enough? Thanks mate

Hey, sorry for the double post. I just wanted to know if you had already tested it out and if your impressions were positive. I think this could be a pretty important thing to a (albeit a niche) group of people. Please let me know

no worries, i don't think it's a double post just wanted to reference this over here.
haven't had the time to test yet, will do it this weekend.

Need help on app ideas...

I know people might not answer this, but what the hell, you never know.
I'm a programmer; good old fashioned programmer. That's what I do. I've coded in Assembler, PASCAL, RPG II/III, COBOL, C/C++, SQR (a DB language), Easytreive (mainframe), CICS (more mainframe), JCL (mainframe "language"), JAVA and now Android.
Currently unemployed due to crappy market and my location. I've coded a couple of apps and they are on the market selling, albeit slowly.
My problem is, I'm NOT creative LOL IMO, I can code the pants off anything, but I'm just not good at coming up with ideas. I think it's that "left brain, right brain" thing!
Anyone care to throw out some app ideas? Seems like I think of stuff, but it's "been there, done that" on the market. I have my own hosted site and ability to store 10 gigs of database data if that helps.
I'm not interested in doing games or themes or wallpapers (remember, NOT creative!) LOL

I'm new at coding and I have ideas coming out of my ears, so to speak, but I don't have the means (knowledge) to make them a reality. How familiar are you with the android sdk and APIs? I'm kinda new at this, having only released one app into the market. I would like the help of an experienced coder. Check out my website www.fufurinnovations.blogspot.com to see what I'm working on. Thanks in advance

I am looking for an app like Mail Tones for Blackberry that alerts you with a different tones for selected email contacts. By default the notification tone for all incoming emails is just one for all. I tried Mail Alerts but it is very unreliable. Maybe you like this idea? This is a very helpful app in BB since it lets you know when an important email comes up without looking at the screen. Weird that there is only one app in the Market and it just doesn't work.

And what about another app like a camera add-on that lets you level all your pictures using the inclinometer and allows you to take pictures having always the horizon line leveled.

Love this simple but effective idea!
posted direct from the legend that is the x10i... the fastest processor, the slowest response...

I need, and many android users will agree, that sms messages do not need to be kept forever. I want an app, an addon, an alteration whatever that deletes old messages up to a set time period... 7 days, 14 days, 31 days etc.
If I had a text from o2 highlighting the fab new offers I ignore it and 30 days later its automatically deleted!

I'd love an app that emulates the standard iPod USB protocols well enough to control my Android music player from my car stereo.

Theres a lot of people in a thread in this forum wanting a gtalk widget for android....and willing to pay for it.

I actually thought that the app called Theodolite was going to do this but it was actually a triangulation app. In any case, it comes with an inclinometer that allows you to measure the angle of the camera in x and y. It has a measurement of angles kind of like the vision from Terminator, very cool, but then if you take the picture, those measuring things stay in the picture and the picture itself comes out at a lower resolution so it is not really a photography app, its a measurement app. It could be cool to have a bip once you get the camera/phone leveled with the horizon line.
Cameras nowadays don't come with this feature? You can then sell them the program...

you can help me out with my music app im only decent at concepts

How about an app that is able to identify if someone in the area is running android and to be able to strike up a gtalk convo via invite. idk if that'd be possible.

WOW! Thanks to all the repliers (is that a word? LOL). Oh my, there's an idea right there for my database space...a dictionary or thesarus!
Some very, very good ideas out there and I DO appreciate them very much. I can definitely see 2 or 3 apps that I can start working on.
Keep the ideas coming and I'll get my fingers going on development of some of the replies up to this point.
Thanks again!

Figure out bluetooth hid in sense roms or video out for aosp roms.

Hello,
An application that encrypt/decrypt phone conversations in real time between two android phones could be nice...

One app i really think is missing is a good working RSS-reader which makes it possible not to juggle between the RSS-reader and a browser.
An example would be a super simple reader like Google Reader that can open up the posts in background inside the reader, having the same possibilities as a browser.

I am tired of HTC sync not working right with custom roms. I need something (app or software) that will sync my pc Outlook contacts and calendar with android phone. There is a need for business people that want to use their android phone for business! IMHO

I don´t know if exist an app that can do what I want...so...here it is the idea:
It´s an app that can change the apps icons in the drawer...like the one we use to change icons in desktop....but....for the drawer...
Or maybe a widget for app launcher...I know there ir a lot of it....but make one like the objetdock for windows...if you know what I mean...
Cheers! and thank...

i have many great ideas, but im not a programmer...my only problem with you is that you seem to want people to GIVE you their ideas...like recently, i had someone develop a clock widget for me in which i provided the graphics...we are splitting the profits 50-50...so maybe if you could make an agreement like that or a 60(you)-40(me) agreement then i might be able to help you out...and you could help me

Yes, I guess I should have mentioned that ...my bad.
Of course I would be willing to split profits on a joint-effort project. And, I'm terrible with graphics design and the like. And sometimes, the user interface can make or break the applications (people like "Wow, cool" or flashy app interfaces).
I'm more of a "meat and potatoes" guy; input your data, get info back LOL
So yes, I'm willing to pursue a multi-person project as I think it's beneficial to both parties, not only monetarily, but the possibility of learning from each other.
Thanks,

Im sorry, i didnt mean to come off rude, lol...and im good with photoshop and UI ideas...i have no degree in anything just to let you know, im a self taught 17 year old, who like i said has no programming skills just ideas...i will get back to you though...im currently working on trying to update this other app i have

[Q] A few questions

I have a few questions about the honey comb.
Does it have swype?
How many applications are ready to be used on it?
Also about xoom..
Can we connect an external keyboard to it with bluetooth or usb port?
How is the overall experience?
Can it replace a laptop?
Thanks~

1. Not yet
2. Less than 50 I would guess optimized for Honeycomb. It just released a week ago so we will see many more at time goes on. Many of the existing phone apps work.
3. Yes. Motorola sells a BT one for Xoom. Check their accessories page.
4. I love it and can't keep it out of my hands.
5. Depends on what you plan to do with it. The browsing and email experience are fantastic.

Is it easy to type on it? like written chat on for instance gtalk?
so a lot of the phone apps r working on honeycomb?
Idk why I had heard otherwise!

I have another question. Does the tablet android have multi-tasking?
For instance, can you video chat and minimize it browse facebook alongside?
This is not possible on android phones and is important in my decision of getting xoom.
Response will be appreciated~!
Thank you

Please watch one video on honeycomb or read one review...it will give a lot more answers and it will be a lot quicker than asking really easy to lookup questions over and over.

I don't know about you, but when I hear about a product my first thought is not to rush to a forum to have people tell me about it.
I don't have any issue helping anyone out, but you need to do a tiny amount of work yourself before deciding to post three posts full if questions...it's just a couretsy to others.

And I wanted to know from a user..who is actually experiencing xoom hands on.
And please stop writing on my thread now!
PeAcE!

While I agree the OP should read a review or two, I think he would have walked away with basically the same questions. I haven't read a review that talked about Swype or specific number of applications. Besides, he wants "real world" reviews not some engadget or phonearena crap (nothing against the websites as I read them everyday, but their reviews are a waste of time, esp the XXX vs YYY ones, but that's a whole other thread).
@OP
1. The Xoom can not currently use Swype, but you can get SlideIt. I use it, it's not as good as Swype, but will last me until Swype releases a version for the Xoom.
2. There are not that many apps for it. Keith is correct (<50). Most phone apps do work though.
3. Moto sells a bluetooth keyboard, but you bring up a good point, I dont know if a USB one would work with a converter. Maybe I'll have to give it a try.
4. I love the overall experience. Yes, it's a little glitchy and there aren't many apps, but it does everything I want it to and then some.
5. I agree with Keith here as well...it depends. However, I will say that I attended a board meeting last night for my building. I am secretary and usually take notes with my netbook. I did last night with my Xoom and it was great. I also have a "real" laptop, and I don't think it would ever replace that, but I think it could replace my netbook.
My $.02, go to costco and buy it. It's definitely worth trying out for 90 days.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! You have been a great help..
And I did go through some reviews and videos on youtube beforehand for honeycomb, some for xoom and g slate.
Just one last question that I think you didn't see, was about the video chatting and multi-tasking?

confirmed. you can switch apps while using video chat. I didn't specifically open facebook, but i did use CNN, market and the browser. it does, however, turn off your camera, so it's no longer a video chat (the other party sees a black screen). you can continue to talk. when you come back to the chat, it does automatically turn your camera back on.
hope this helps!

Yes it does. Thank you so much. I highly appreciate it.

Mango review

Pulled yesterday the update from the network with the famous trick.
I have been plying around since then and wanna share my thoughts.
Gmail push mail is working but with a huge dealy comparing it with android or iOs mail delivering. Slow
Multitasking is working only with MS app, not third party. Maybe the apps are not upadated yet but... it sucks at the moment
Social network integration is good with facebook but very complicated to use, not intuitive. Twitter is not supported and the twitter app just plain sucks... no background tweet pull neither push. A mess
Live tiles are nice but daily briefing stays static
Do not know about battery usage
Bing music search is nice but it would be nicer with the possibility of downloading songs directly
I like marketplace, fewr apps than competitor but overall good quality
IT MISS A FAST DIAL OPTION... this is an epic fail... there is no smart dialing too... so calling someone who is not in the start screen takes like 6 or 7 click. fail
If this update eas released one year ago it would be good and efficent... comparing my mango omnia7 with my sammy sgs2 is like stealing sweets to a kid...
Poor Nokia... your N9 is far better that this fruit salad...

Don´t know what you mean?!

How is having two "apps" to switch too Witch is identical? And when your in marketplace, going deeper into "related" and I want to search..where is the button? I have to hit back a zillion times before it appears? Oh no wait I have a actual button on my phone for that..lets press that..BING wtf? They messed up big time, can't even get my native language to the display language.

not sure about whether there is a delay in gmail, tried that and i do not notice any delay in receiving mail/sending mail via gmail.
what do you mean by third party app? can give some example so that i can try it myself? i take Whatsapp as an example, i have no issue running this app (multi-tasking), games, or whatsoever.
regarding FB, i think its individual experience. some may find it complicated / not user friendly some may find it very nice. i personally find it OK, not the best neither very good. never try twitter, hence no comment on this.
whether all tiles are "live" or not i think it doesn't really matter, of course if all tiles are "live" that would be good to have. i find battery usage on Mango is damn good, way better than iPhone or most of the android devices.
agreed with you that without smart dialing is an epic failure. i believe everybody is complaining about this and hope that it will be addressed in next release (Tango)
let's not "conclude" that Mango is a "failure" release, knowing that there are a lot of so call fundamental features supposed to be in but it weren't. Give microsoft a chance and see what they have in Tango or Apollo.

Are you a microsoft employee? If not, why you feel so frustrated with someone givin his opinions?
I can see you are a newbie on XDA and maybe you do not know that we usually review the software update and even the phones. Do you have any problem with it? Just change topic. And please stop saying that us, italians, have solutions for all the problems, it is just childish.

Maybe you should learn basic education. And stop acting like a little n00b. I posted my personal review as anybody is free to do. You didn't like it, all right. But please let other ppl express their minds without the "you didn't understand how to use your phone" or "go play with super mario". That is so stupid. Even for you.
Hope to not hear anything more from you.

First off, stop telling me what to do.second, I bought omnia 7 because I was unhappy with my galaxy s2. If the case is that we are just noobs that doesn't know how to use the phone, why can't you enlighten us? I would be thrilled if you could make me enjoy my phone. Either that or shut your mouth and let other people have a different opinion.
