I am looking for SMS and call blocking function for WP7 the same as a Magicall I hade on WM6.5. I know, there is a problem with WP, as Microsoft dont allow developers to touch that part of the API which is in charge of it, but in the same tome I found such a aplication on Samsung device:
wmpoweruser.com/samsung-releases-call-blocking-app-for-its-devices/
Is there any chance to implement such a function into the wp7 now or in near future or chances are low ?
Thank you

Since when I am using Microsoft smartphones and pocketPCs I'm missing a simply software that even on Nokia was available two years ago...
I'm talking about an ANSWERING MACHINE who simply answers an incoming call, play a message, record a message (and let me listen in real time, in order to decide if to answer or not). A plus would be contact list management to have answering machine to answer only a certain number.
Is it SO difficult to program such a program? why nobody didn't think of it until now? is there any hardware problem that doesn't allow this program to be developed?
:?:

I'v asked around in a couple of forums too, but it doesn't seem to draw any attention. so yeah, it'll be great if someone can let us know why this is so hard to realise.
I think that PPC PE is a relatively young OS for mobile phones and as such there are alot of things that may be missing or lacking in terms of the phone part (God know's some things are missing from the PDA end as well) so give the OS a chance to grow some more and maybe we'll be getting the features we want sooner or later I think the diff between Nokias and WindowsMobile devices is that Nokia started out as a Phone company while MS did not. They have a lot of catching up to do.
It might also be due to a lack of documentation of the windows API. Also the built in notes program doesn't allow you to record phone calls. I read that this was possible in recent versions of Windows Mobile/WinCE. It might be due to law restrictions in some countries, where it is prohibited to record someone's call with out notifying him. If you provide an interface for a callers' voice data, then you could program an answering machine but also a voice recorder. That might be the reason why this interface could be undocumented or even closed to applications which are not from Microsoft. The built-in phone application proves that there is such an interface existing. I think, if it could easily be programmed, such a program would exist already.
Hi all,
I've found in a newsgroup (microsoft.public.pocketpc.developer) a thread (1 year old approximately) which speaks about this activation and it helped me much. Unfortunately I have still a big problem :-(
I am trying to do (automatically) a phonecall in my application. I am using an Orange SPV M1000 PPC so the operating system is PocketPc 2003 Phone Edition. I am developping with EVC++ V4.0.
So I am able to call a phone number with the following methods :
lineInitializeEx,
lineNegotiateAPIVersion,
lineGetDevCaps,
lineOpen,
lineMakeCall.
etc...
At this moment I want to activate the hands free mode (ie using PPC speaker instead of phone one). This is apparently possible using phoneSetHookSwitch method. But to use phoneSetHookSwitch, I have to initialize and open a phone line with:
phoneInitializeEx,
phoneNegotiateAPIVersion,
phoneGetDevCaps,
phoneOpen,
and now I can invoke phoneSetHookSwitch after having received the LINECALLSTATE_CONNECTED callback notification.
But it doesn't work. I have always the same error code : PHONEERR_OPERATIONUNAVAIL :?
I looked for the phone capalities (PHONECAPS) after phoneGetDevCaps and they say that this device doesn't support hook capabilities. It is astonishing because it is possible to do it with the standard phone of the PPC !!
Please, help me !!
Sorry for my bad english

I don't think anyone has figured this out yet, (if anyone has PLEASE TELL ME)...

Check this thread out, a couple of people have tried what you are trying but it doesn't work. The primary belief is that when you are calling LineOpen you are only given LINECALLPRIVILEGE_MONITOR privilege. Your app can not get owner privilege because that belongs to cprog.exe. Therefore you are not able to do the phoneSetHookSwitch().
We also tried adding the green call button to the keybd_event() but though that answers the call it will not turn the speaker phone on.
I've been wondering if we should SPY cprog.exe and see if any windows messages are sent to the device when the speakerphone is enabled and maybe we can send those messages to cprog from our apps to fool it into turning the speakerphone on for us.
Oh, it is not a good news :?
Thank you for your fast answer.
I will let you know if I find a solution... 8)
Hello.
I'm trying to make a phone call from my application, and it works, but when it calls, it opens the dialer of my pda, and when i hang up, the application doesn't recover the control. I'd like to make a call without giving control to dialer.
I've been using PhoneMakeCall, and I've seen the cedialer sample from windows mobile 5 sdk, but I'd like to know if there is an easier solution than this last one.
Thank you very much.

Hi !
I was playing with this also, and the only solution i found is the one in WM5 SDK. So my answer would be NO, there's no other way.

hi. herehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=993793They have succeeded in enabling two-way call recording directly from the phone line on HTC Desire.They write that it is possible on our hd2 too. Do we have masters?
The same question from me too.
It's about time to find a solution for Leo.
(I wonder, until when this great device (HD2), will keep competing all the new models & until when will it be a favorite device of so many developers).
I installed Pdaimatejam Rom Wp7.8 OS 7.10.8835.35 v8.5 >FULLY UNLOCKED>, well and till now i love it, work well, i make trickshot for battery, and battery hold good, but i can't cal for example *500# to know info about my account! Its my device not working, or is a bug? Other things work very well,
Thanks all!
ussd dialling don't work. another short sighted ****-up from MS I believe. Found same issue on Nokia 900 we had for testing along with many other not so smart lacking features of WP7.5 smart!phone OS
So not smart that 7.5 & 7.8 could not meet our needs in many areas & has many missing basic user convenience features such as no multi volume control, bluetooth restrictions & issues, no sound or ringer profiles, Poor to no sounds/alert type options for all alerts and alarm,no sms draft option, unable add file attachment to email & many many more ....
Sure a lot of this can be worked around or fixed but it should not need to be, out of the box it is worse in actual real world use & function than wm2003se ...
Do believe an app is in the market for ussd & perhaps a fix/patch if you search around ...
Thanks
Well, thanks bro for info! but i already make bluetooth working and what i need more but only few little bugs xD, or restrictions from MS, well, thanks again!
