Is there any way to make the phone automatically answer an incoming call, place the caller on hold while playing music to the caller while appearning to ring normally as set by the audio profiles until it is answered or until a set number of rings has been reached? Sort of like ring back tones, except everything would be controlled by the phone. Then if no one answers perhaps it could double as visual voicemail and take your messages right on the phone? Is this technically feasible? Is there anything out there already that performs this function?
I like your idea, but I don't know any API to do this. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's impossible.

Have a strange prob with my QTek9100.. suddenly it doesn't ring anymore... no matter what kind of ring tones i set in the options, I only get silence instead of the sound. When selecting ring and vibrate i get alternating vibrate and silence.. I tried custom rings thru registry editing and standard ring modes from the phone options.. no change -- always silence...
Any ideas on how to fix this? currently I only hear that I had the phone call after I missed it and the missed call notification plays -- which is kinda stupid to only hear the phone after the call is missed
thanks...
Do you install a new bluetooth stack?
nope... didn't install anything really that i know of.. and definitely no system apps.
open Settings / Sounds & Notifications / Notifications and select event "Phone: Incoming call"
does pressing the play (right facing triangle) button play your ring tone? If not, try selecting another ring tone and try playing that.
could be ring tone is selected, but not available or incorrect format.
hope this helps.
if you have any audio player other than windows media player, you may find it has associated it self with all audio files?
Does anyone know how to stop the ringer for my text messages to stop ringing so long? I cut it like a regular ringtone, so its like 20-30 seconds and I can open the message, slide up the screen and send a reply and it will still be going. The only way to stop it is to lower the volume while its ringing and turn it back up after its done. Is there a trick in the settings or a way in the registry??
Also, on my A630 I was surprised when I first found out that, for instance the ringer that goes off for my girlfriend when she called would also go off when she sent a text message...on this phone, which is far superior, only the default text message ringtone plays no matter who it is, is there a way to change that??
It will play the entire SMS wav file. no way of stopping. So, put a short one there.
No, as far as I know of customizing SMS alert tone to contacts.
Iv just got my qtek 9100 and love it. However i want to change a few things.
1)how do i change the sms alert tone?
2)I want to turn off the phone sounds but have my ringtone on full,how do i do it?
3)when i have it on vibrate-and receive a text it vibrates constantly for 3-5 seconds. How do i change it to a short vibration?If at all.
What is the best and easiest rom to change to? What essential software should i have installed?
Appreciate any help.
Love this place already!
for the vibration and rings issues, go to Start>Settings>Sounds and Notifications and theres a drop down box and there you can select whether you want to change your SMS tone, or Incoming call tone. To add custom rings, put the .mp3 file in My Device\Windows\Rings and to have a different sms tone, it needs to be in .wav format.
As for the rom, make sure your device is CID unlocked, read more about that in the upgrading forum, and they're all the same process so there is no "easy" rom to upgrade to.
Hey, as we all know, WM doesn't have a real and stable built-in voicemail program, due to hardware restrictions. I know you can't record the incoming sound (unless its on speaker), but I'm looking for a program that will do the following:
1. If I don't do anything when a call is received, I want the program to do nothing, meaning the call would go to the regular voicemail.
2. When I get a incoming call, I want to have 2 options: Answer or Filter. If I press filter, the program would answer the phone call, and automatically play a message (same as voicemail). Now I can't record the incoming voice, but I can listen to the caller and decide if I want to answer or not. This would give me the big advantage of a built-in voicemail and bypass the hardware restrictions.
So, to sum up, if I can't answer a call and can't listen to it at the moment, I won't lose anything, but if I want to filter my incoming calls, its a great way to do that.
What do u think, is there a program like that already? Is it possible to create one?
So Handcent allows you to change the vibrate notification pattern for SMS.
Is there any way to change it for incoming calls? I find the current pattern bad, as it is one small 'blip' followed by a fairly long pause before it vibrates again. I'd want it to start big to get attention faster.
Is there any application out there that allows this to be changed?
+1 on this one too...I think short multiple vibrate is effective for calls too
Missed Call allows for this.

Click to expand...

Just installed it, and it only seems to allow it for after the call has been missed?
