Contact backup_Call history

thanks all for their help and wisdom
two teaks which i'm lookingsorry my search string didnt work for these questions)
how do you set filter in call history? it's set to all calls by default; can we change this default value (to miss calls or outgoing etc); also, why call history shows same number repeatedly (say you try to call 1 number 10 times, it shows you 10 times same number in history istead showing 1 time; it's pretty dumb as compare to other basic fone whr they only show 1 entry)
Other:
all contacts on phone; none on sim: how to take backup of only these contacts (pardon my ignorance; but i couldnt find way in outlook which is default for address book and contacts thru active sync); is there any 3rd party util especially designed to keep contacts saved in original format? (means 3 number/entry; 200 entry and that util keep exact copy and produce duplicate on restoring)?
thanks all to everyone

Calling card application

I just wondering is there any application that specifically created for using a calling card?
I imagine an application like this:
- Add a new calling card entry
- Set the calling card phone number
- Set the destination phone number
- Set wait (in seconds) to enter the destination phone number
Then, it works like an address book (contact list).
When you choose an entry, press "call", it will:
- Dial the calling card phone number
- Wait (in seconds)
- Automatically entered the destination phone number
Good eh?
Normally, after dialed the calling card phone number, we need to manually press the destination phone number manually.
I believe a lot of people are using calling card to dial overseas number, so this must be a good application!

You can create the above procedures with ',' (comma) on your phone number. Eg
- phone card tel: 1111111
- destination number: 222222
you will put in the phone number as 111111,22222
if it is too fast, just add more ',' to it.

try putting the letter p in between the numbers. more the no of p's more pause.

thats a nice solution, but add this to every international contact I have? I don't think so....

MagiCall can do it. Just set up an outgoing rule like this:
Rule type: Phone-Outbound
Filter type: Specific number
Phone#: +*
Action1: Change number
Call to: <calling card number>,,,,,<calling card pin>,,,,00{phone}[-1,0]#
The rule will filter outging numbers which have a leading + and change them into the international format.
You can read its user guide for detail information.

Create a new SystemState Property in C#?

My goal is this: I have an external database with (company-) contacts as a SQLCE database. Since there are over 1000+ contacts in that database, I don't like the idea to 'load' all of them in my outlook. So when there's an incoming call I check if it is an outlook contact, if not I like to search the external database (by phone number) and create a contact 'on the fly' (NOT to be stored in poutlook!)
I 'detect' a new incoming call like this:
private SystemState _phoneIncomingCall = new SystemState(SystemProperty.PhoneIncomingCall);
_phoneIncomingCall.Changed += OnPhoneIncomingCallChanged;
This works like a charm. In the OnPhoneIncomingCallChanged method I check if the (new SystemState(SystemProperty.PhoneIncomingCallerContact)).CurrentValue is null. This too is working Now I would like to 'alter' the PhoneIncomingCallerContact with a contact I lookup in the other database using the incoming number. I imagine I should create a new contact and 'rethrow' the PhoneIncomingCallerContact.
The "OnPhoneIncomingCallerContact" function in the dialer should be triggered and the 'altered' contact information displayed.
Key question: can I create a SystemState(SystemProperty.PhoneIncomingCallerContact) "State and Notifications Broker" message?
And off course if so: how to do it in C#?
Another approach might be to 'unhook' the default phone application, get the incoming call and 'hook' the phone application back when I decide to take the call or reject the call?
Again: Is it possible and how to do it in C#?
Your help is appreciated...

Communicating with device

I'm working on a location based app that would request the phone to send its GPS location. My question is, what are the available methods for requesting the location from the device? My first choice was HTTPD but the device IP is unreachable from the world (sprint). My second choice is SMS and have the phone intercept the messages. If it sees a location request SMS then it would respond to a web service with its current location.
Is this a reliable method?

Looks like MS My Phone uses SMS to request phone data... interesting.
Location request:
SkY!AVEjDy2DGyMCE6RO0qhs56aR1/zf42OXBlbdErz6sVTLW6iHFk+wQUhRX6aSEDkI0w==
Ring request:
SkY!AZbZmdMB6eVOig9Y5Ol6QtCQZAVU8XFZLi19k95Cqzn14CZ+qKuUi+2ha3VFqbRdXA==
Lock request: pin 1234, text Chris
SkY!AYDmzGeCMrT8NeDWmn5QaK96Jvsv0mQZIqEgwzvwE35ZCuBZea4M349kMwBkjVV63Y0ROvV+okapsl7UnzqcJBU=
You would think that MS would filter these texts out of the sync process...
The Ring request worked and GPS location failed (btw, the GpsSample from the SDK does not work either). So no MS I don't want to pay 4.99$ for your non-working premium services.
Sky Command Received | Command Locate (ID 2) | Request Id 22815
Sky Command Received | Command Ring (ID 1) | Request Id 22816
I wish the app was .NET like bing so I can reflect on it.
\Application Data\Microsoft\My Phone\Config.dat contains some service end point info. I would like to get the WSDL of those.
I'm curious about HKLM\init\Myphone\OEMOverride = 1.

This is great MS, due to your SMS interceptor I can't send myself any SMSs that start with 'SkY!'.
I tried resending the above SkY requests to my phone. The only thing that happened was the phone backlight came on (the SMS was not visible) and \Application Data\Microsoft\My Phone\MyPhoneLog.txt got an entry appended but the request was not valid. keep in mind that I had to uninstall the MyPhone app and use the MyPhone web site to send out those SMSs so that they would not get intercepted by MyPhoneService.dll.
I stopped the SBB0: service but the SMS still got intercepted. I didn't stop the Notification though: NamedEvents\MyPhoneRuntimeStartRuntime (if that's the right notification).
I guess the next step would be to write a .NET SMS interceptor to see if it will intercept the SMSs or not.
it looks like the interception is done using MAPI Rules which I assume is processed before MessageInterceptor and it looks like the SMS cannot be replayed...

[MMS][SMS] how to remove incorrect canonical_addresses [email protected] from mmssms.db

Hi,
I had a problem where:
1. cell phone at 123456789 sends me an SMS
2. the incoming address displays as "[email protected]"
2. The default android messaging app would reply as SMS
3. I send the reply
4. person A never receives the reply
I fixed the problem , and am documenting it here.
This seems related to:
code.google.com android issues 1233
code.google.com android issues 9392
droidforums dot net forum droid-general-discussions 61733-callwave-com-possible-erase-all-text-history-start-over.html
Platform:
Sprint HTC HERO200
Android: 2.3.3
Circumvention:
Do not reply to SMS-as-MMS. Create a new SMS with recipient's phone number as destination.
Fix:
adb shell
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db
select * from canonical_addresses where address like '%callwave%';
delete from canonical_addresses where address like '%callwave%';
select * from canonical_addresses where address like '%callwave%';
.exit
Explanation:
I previously used callwave.
So, the address "[email protected]" was associated in the mmssms database with the cell phone at 123456789.
Deleting this association from the database fixed the problem.
Overview of SQL statements:
1. The first "select" lists all the address records that have the string "callwave" in them.
If you are having this problem, there should be a record in the list where the address matches the problem you are having.
2. The "delete" removes all such records.
3. The second "select" searches for all such records again. This time, the list should be empty.
I hope this helps someone.
