I am a novice MortScript user and can't figure out the best way to do the following:
1. Figure out if Bluetooth is connected to a particular device.
2. If there is a missed call, new text message, or other new notification, I would like to be able to write a script to call my home phone (for a ring or two) as a way to alert me. I have the basics to write the script for the call, but can't figure out how to query the notifications (to see if there is a new sms, missed call, appointment reminder, et cetera) to activate the call routine.
Reason: I have the ATT EP5632 which I like as I don't have to carry my 8525 around the house, however, when I get a text or other reminder, I usually don't hear it. Also, the EP5632 is not very reliable in maintaining the Bluetooth connection so often I have missed calls (if anyone has any suggestions, I would love to hear them!) so this script would serve as a backup.
Thanks in advance,
Gene

Hi,
as subject states, I am looking for a program that will popup a notes box when i press hangup on my phone(o2 xda2)
Ideally it would allow me to make a timesheet for time on the phone.
I cannot find any software that comes even close to this sort of functionality.
I have looked at TimeTTracker for quickbooks, but am having troubles getting it talking to quickbooks. TimeTtracker is sort of what I am looking for but still has no phone call time billing.
Many Thanks,
Ryan
I have only a few of my phone calls that i want to specifically log. For these i just dial from Pocket Informant - it automatically creates a journal. Contains all relevant information. However, this does not cover incoming calls.
Does anyone know of a prog to divert calls?
I do understand that you can set up one divert profile with the operator, but being awkward I would like to set up more than one.
Don't know if there is a utility out there to do this.
Any help greatly appreciated.

You mean as in to forward your calls? Go to Start>>Settings>>Phone>>Services Tab>>Click "Call Forwarding" then "Get Settings" Button and adjust from there.
EDIT: You want to be able to change this easily using "profiles"? A option would be to use a marcro recorder or a script editor and give each macro/script/profile its own icon, so that when you click it it does the above. I used the program MacroRecorder when I had a smarphone, it may work on our OS too, I'm not sure. You could also download MortScripts if you'd prefert to write a script.
Hi thank you for your input.
You have got the idea exactly, got a new car with a "stupid" car kit built in.
The car kit takes a sim card... never heard of bluetooth!!!!!
O2 say they don't (and never have) offered a "dual sim" option. I was hoping to switch the phone off when I got in the car.
So the next idea is to put a pay as you go sim in the car kit and diver all calls from the main number to the car kit.
I already have a divert set up when I cannot take a call, and being lazy I suppose would love a little utility that swaps the divert between the two numbers.
Probably not upto writing scripts or macro as i don't want to mess up my phone
But once again thank you for your help
Not a tool but....you may check out *# codes (aka "GSM codes"), compose the one you need and create a phonebook entry. To run the network service you may put this entry to a speed dial button and activate it manually when you enter the car. Means you run a call to this "number". That's how I forward all calls from my private phone to my company phone: in the morning: call **21*mynumber# and to switch forwarding off in the evening: call #21#. Works pretty good.

Cheers,
Derek.
Thank you so much
PERFECT
You are welcome...
btw: you will most likely be charged for call forwarding between different providers. At least in Germany they do it.
The coolest thing for you would be T-Mobile-like "Multi-SIM". IMHO the best Multi-SIM implementation ever as you can leave both phones switched on and none of them is kicked out of the network. They just ring both and both present the same number to the far end.
It's a shame that O2 doesn't offer something like this...
Luckily O2 offer unlimited O2 to O2 calls so with luck the divert will be included.
The lady on customer support was quite useless (as per usual) didn't know if it was or wasn't
Can't use T-Mob no reception at home
Going to try and block/bar own number on the pay as you go sim so I can make outgoing calls without confusing people too much.
I blame you Germans - thought Porsche would have a bluetooth PCM - Land Rover have for about 3 years as standard!!! lol
Thank you again for all your help, hopefully a German car will be more reliable than a Land Rover
Porsche? Great! At least it will have better brakes than a Landy
There is also a program "PhoneAlarm" which can be used to divert calls. You can feed 4 or 5 numbers to which you would like your calls to be diverted. From the Today Screen Plug-In of phonealarm you just need to press and hold and you would be presented with a list of numbers to select the one you currently want the calls to be diverted to.

thanks so much. it worked on my diamond. Indian model.
Hi people,
I am looking for a VERY SIMPLE yet SO HARD TO FIND program.
I need to have a (time) counter, separate for incoming and outgoing calls THAT RESETS.
I don't need data counter,
I don't need totals of incoming + outgoing,
I don't need a custom dialer,
I don't want to calculate those on PC,
I don't need call history per call (doesn't bother me if it's there though),
I don't need alarms if a counter is exceeded (but this is welcome)...
PhoneWeaver I think doesn't have this (it is not listed in the features),
Inesoft Phone4 don't think has this (is not described in history features), plus I am not willing to change my dialer,
SPB Wireless Monitor doesn't do it (and it SHOULD).
What I want to do is simple. I have some free talk time (only for calls I make) per month and I want to know when this time is about to get "empty". If the device alarms me, even better.
Is this simple thing so hard?
I have looked around, but couldn't find anything (it's so many ways you can search for such a thing)...
Help?
Has Microsoft (or anyone else, for that matter) ever published a book, whitepaper, or anything else that actually explains how the various components of WM5/6 actually "work" in a real PDA phone?
I've seen various scattered documents at MSDN that tell how to write applications for phones running WM5/6, but I've never been able to find anything that coherently explains how a PDA phone running WM5/6 actually HANDLES incoming/outgoing phone calls -- the apps and DLLs involved, points where you can wedge your own handlers into the event chain, etc.
I guess what I'm really looking for right now is some guidance about where to even LOOK for that info... the official library/object name(s), the proper phrases to google for, etc. I have a hunch that what I'm looking for is NOT in the MSDN documentation tree for WM6 Professional PDA Phones, and is hidden somewhere else in the hierarchy... but finding anything at MSDN feels like searching for a needle in a haystack unless you already know exactly what you're looking for and what it's officially called ;-)
For what it's worth, I want to write my own replacement handler(s) for voicemail notifications. I can't stand the way WM6 stupidly makes me swat away the notification that I have voicemail, and decline to listen to it, then swat away a second notification that I have a missed call before FINALLY letting me know whose call I missed (and by extension, who left the voicemail message). I want to write a handler that shows something like:
Missed Calls:
Joe Smith @ 3 minutes ago (italics = left voicemail)
Jenna Ho @ 2:27am
Matt Johnson @ yesterday 11:52pm
Matt Johnson @ yesterday 10:23PM
on the screen instead.
Also, I use my cell phone as my "real" phone, and have an AT&T cordless phone that pairs with it via bluetooth. Unfortunately, it doesn't notify me of voicemail or received SMS messages, and I can easily go for HOURS without noticing (say, if I'm outside when someone calls, and they leave a voicemail message... until I physically happen to wake up the phone and look at the display, I'll never even know someone called). So... I want to build a circuit using a BlueSMIRF bluetooth-uart module and a microcontroller that toggles an input on my home automation/burglar alarm system (triggering a voice announcement over the loudspeakers), and have my handler app on the phone connect to it and trigger that notification every few minutes until I notice. I also wouldn't mind being able to make the phone go crazy vibrating in response to a received sms/voicemail message, so if I'm somewhere like a noisy nightclub wearing loose jeans and don't notice, it will keep vibrating and making noise until I do.
HI all,
My gf's phone behaves in a really strange way...
During an audio call using common communicators, say skype, whatsapp, messenger, if a new incoming gsm/lte connection is coming, then it automatically takes priority over communicator call. Communicator call is put on hold.
What is most annoying, is that you are not able to inform the person on other side of the line that there is a new incoming connection - no, the second incoming connection is appearing on screen, current connection is put on hold. To clarify, user can chose whether to accept or cancel new incoming call, but the 'communicator' call is already on hold;(
I find this most annoying coming from iphone environment, where I have full control on all live and incoming connections and where no connection is prioritised. When im on a whatsapp audio call and a regular gsm connection is coming, I can let other person know that I have incoming connection and decide to answer, cancel or put current call on call. I find this rather normal behaviour. Unfortunately this is not the case on my gf's phone which drives me nuts
Please let me know if this is case of specific ROM, or android os in general? I hope you could guide me toward an easy solution, hopefully not requiring reinstalling new rom. Many thanks!
Phone is running MIUI Global 10.2.1.0, Android 8.0.0.
