[Q] automatic redial if busy - Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other

Hi Folks,
anyone knows a tweak or an application that automatcally redials a busy number and beeps if call is successfull. i found a french app that i dont really like cause i dont understand the menu
Thanx

In holland that's a service from our phone provider. Line busy, press 5, hang up. Line available again your phone rings, pick up, receivers phone rings and he/she picks up. (If he/she likes you )

nice.. have to check if your neighbors in the east have that nice service too
thanx for the hint

my solicitation...

I can't enter settings on my diamond

Probably because you have Manila 2D. Install a program called Second Today to have your original screen to access the settings, or temporarily disable M2D by turning Touchflo off in your Home settings...

When I disable TF3D I have the icon and the menu. When I try to open the settings I am going right back to the today screen without the possibility to change the settings.

Hmmm...sorry... I don't know

I installed that PocketMax redial on my HD2.
As others have noted, you cannot access the settings with Manila running. Presumably, however, most users would not need to change settings often, set it how you want and leave it.
One also cannot exit from the app normally with Manila running. One has to use a process-killing task manager to do that, or just leave it running until next reboot.
However, another problem. When I tested it by calling my home phone with my cell (after leaving the home phone off the hook), it worked, it kept redialing.
Today I tried it where I really needed it, though, in calling a business whose line is usually busy, and it did not work at all. It somehow did not detect the busy signal. Do business phone systems have a different way of making a busy signal, that Redial does not detect? If so, that's a problem, as one is more likely to need a redial function in calling a business, than in calling a residence.
I have tried another one too called Simple Redial. Works in a different way. And has no problems with Manila. You only invoke it after calling the number once the regular way. Then open Simple Redial, which can redial that number the amount of times you select, length of times between redials, etc. One thing I don't like about it--the shortest time one can specify between redials is 10 seconds. To me, that is way too long. (I would rather set that interval to 1 or 2 seconds. The PocketMax Redial goes down to 2 seconds, but has the problems I mentioned.)
It is amazing that Windows Mobile does not have a redial function built in. My previous phone was a "dumbphone", a Sony-Ericsson TM506. That would automatically redial a busy number. Why can't a Windows Mobile smartphone do that? It should be built into the system!
Anyhow, anyone know of any other redial apps for WinMo? As it is a basic function lacking from the OS, one would think that more such apps would have been created to fill that gap!

Not knowing Russian, it is rather hard to serach for it on a Russian site.
Could you please post the app here? Thank you.
----Edit
Now I did go to that wce.by site, translated into English by Google.
I did a search for "mofun" there, no results at all.
If this is really a good redial software, please post it here.

Call Tracking Software

Does anyone out there know of any phone software for "PPC 2003 Phone Edition " that tracks call duration over time? Another words like on Nokia phones, i would like to see how many outgoing and ingoing calls I made for the month and then can reset those totals to zero at the end of a billing cycle. Extra cool software would actually have user adjustable Primetime" and "Evenings and Weekends" time slot settings.
I know in Pocket PC 2003 Phone software, I can look at the "Call Duration" tab in the device manager. In the least, would anyone know where in the registry to hack that back to zero on a monthly basis?
Thanks,
Dano
Have a look to PhoneDashboard (shareware)
You can try DKToday which is in development and is free
Thanks for the super prompt response, i just downloaded the DKTODAY cab and am playing with it now.

VOIP software hangs phone

Hi,
I bought the Excalibur and the Vox 'cause I though it would have been great being able to place VOIP calls from my phone, using the same setup I use with my ATA.
The files to enable VOIP and MS phones have been circulating since a while, but even though I tried couple of packages I still have some issues.
The problem I have is that, for some strange reason, when the VOIP cab is installed my phone sometimes loses "Calling and receiving" capability.
Sometimes I trie to place a phone call and the phone hangs, I can only switch it off and on again. Sometimes I even have to remove the SD card otherwise it will keep doing a Reboot Loop.
Other times I receive an SMS for a missed call, as if I had been offline. When I then try to call back my phone hangs.
This bug seems to affect only the Calls and not the SMS functionality.
Has anybody experienced the same issue?
Thanks,
Ka.
I also have the same problems except for the SD rebooting.
I installed the VOIP client from the workarround posted here and I also experience the same problems:
1) phone seems to work fine until I decide to place a call, when I finish entering the numbers and I hit the Call button, the phone does nothing (not even the beep) and from that point I know that I can't place calls (dial pad doesn't even works on home screen). I have to reboot.
2) I receive SMS from missed incoming calls. If I call my S710 from another phone I get a calling tone and then the answering service, but the S710 does nothing.
I had email accounts configured and I thought this problem was from GPRS not letting GSM calls come in (as it says in other threads) but now I have no active email accounts, no GPRS traffic and it is ever worst (3 to 4 reboots a day!)
I honestly don't remember this problem before VOIP client installed.
Anyone has this simptoms???
I do have the same probs
Probably others aren't experiencing the same because they disable the VOIP when no Wifi is available. I'll try to reinstall the VOIP Cab and try that way.
Bought the S710 for it's VOIP cababilities and possibility to hook it to my PBX and finally feel the freedom of VOIP (Ok, bit exagerating but you get my point ).
Anyway, since we're two at the moment, promised to keep you posted.
Thanks for your help.
Ka.
kast did you improve your VoIP configuration tool? I once tried it, but it never worked. I gave you feedback in another thread but never heard of you
same probs too

Hi there,
sorry for taking so much time. Actually been quite busy lately and well, ok, must admin left this VOIP thing a bit aside.
Anyway, would you mind trying this version, hope it will work a bit better.
Tested with the provider you sent me and it seems to work.
(This is not a Cab Install thing, been packed up in couple of minutes, please unzip it and run it from your mobile.)
I think I'll get back to this so stay tuned for some little enhancements.
Ka.
COOOL.....Works on my modded Tornado with wm06...great!!!!Thanks!!!!
Hello Kast,
After my last post, I unistalled the VOIP software from within the phone's start>Settings>Remove Programs>Sleuth's WM6VoIP
I got this message "Sleuth's WM6VoIP was not completly removed. Do you want to remove it from the list of installed programs?", I didn't remove it.
I then changed the Settings>phone>Internet Calling>"Use Internet Calling" to "Never".
Since then I haven't experienced any troubles at all and I haven't rebooted the phone for some days now! problem solved but no VoIP!
I'll try your VoIP files and see what happends.
Cheers
P.S. My setting for VoIP was "whenever available" but i had WiFi off 99% of the day. (some days even 100%).

Can't receive incoming calls

Hi there, I am using VJgrace latest 3.4 ROM, I realized that nowadays, sometimes I would not be able to receive incoming calls, my friends and relatives have complained that I do not pick up their calls, they even showed me the proof of their call logs. They said there were dialing tone. So one day, I tried for myself and true enough, at times, the phone will just light up from idle, but it will not say that there is an incoming calls. When this happen, I cannot make outgoing calls as well, when I try to dial someone, it just hang there.
Any solution? Is this a radio or ROM problem?
I have run the GSM update
I faced the same problem too. I thought my friends were joking. just called myself to confirm. true enough the phone lights up for a second or two then it goes back to sleep.
this is serious. am thinking of going back to WM 5
Really? Wow. That's a new one. I guess I haven't seen this. illi - would you really go *all* the way back to WM5? Are you saying this is a problem in every WM6 ROM you have installed? I'm surprised... I've never seen it on my phone. But I don't get too many calls during the day. And I reboot my phone every 2 or 3 days just for good measure.

i cant afford to loose calls. some friends had complained since a few months back. so i suspect its all WM6 ROMs not just vj's.
i think it happened when the device is syncing because i receive lots of emails. so at that time the gprs/edge is being use. THIS IS MY WILD GUESS ONLY!! I noticed it (the device awakes then back to sleep) once while on active sync and at that moment emails were being downloaded from my email server.
How can yew trouble shoot this problem?

not too sure but will check next time i active sync. anyway i rarely sync with my pc so i doubt thats the problem - i noticed once while hooked to pc the phone awakens and then sleep. i use mail2web.com's microsoft exchange to sync my emails. i active sync only to do spring cleaning on my device and SD.
if karhoe subscribe to the same telco as me than i suspect its the operator. (hello karhoe you there;-))
I have this problem even when the phone is not connected to Active Sync, when i'm outside. The phone just light up, and then poof, gone. Well, I am using DiGi telco. But I don't have this problem when using Andot's PEE, don't have it when using 3.0 ROM, only recently when I started using 3.1, had this problem, after so long, then use 3.4, still have it
I had this issue with WM5.. now with WM6 I didn't found (yet) this issue. (using EA ROM)
This is a quote of one of my posts (Oct 7 2006, 18:43, modaco):
i think this is a software issue..
i have a spv c600 and have problem with the telephony part (and many other spv c600 users)
1. some times when somebody is calling me the phone does not announce in any way that i have a call.
2. other times when somebody is calling me the phone send automatically a busy tone to the caller and again does not announce me that somebody has called me.
3. and other times when somebody is calling me, the caller is announced by the robot that 'the user is in an uncovered area or has the phone turned off' or it divert it to voice mail (if the WM user has voice mail active. i have it off)
however, point 1 and 2 can be 'detected' by eye on call (phonesharpen). only detected (no answer, no nothing).
- in the first case, a window with caller information is displayed as long as the caller is calling you.
- in the second case, a window appears and disparears extremly fast
to bad that the phonesharpen does not log the detected calls . i have mailed them about this, but on answer..
i gues the problem is the native telephone application
so .. in conclusion WM smartphones are not recommended for people who want to use them as a phone.. who knows what important calls you miss.. i hope this will be fixed someday

@karhoe you should tell this to NiTroGeN and to VJgrace
Gentlemen, I suspect this issue is somehow connected to currently selected homescreen. I had this issue on WM6 build 18120 homescreen with VOIP plugin, but when I chose another one not containing VOIP info, this issue has gone

I tend to believe that it is caused by either of these problems:
1 - the telco (I'm subscribing to the same telco as karhoe)
2 - the voip plugin on the Homescreen
This is what I'll do: I shall deactivate the voip plugin. But I cant afford to unsubscribe from my current telco; it offers the cheapest unlimited data plan. LOL!!
I have a feeling that it is related to VOIP, I did configure my VoIP using the xml method, and then I also installed the VoIP fix button for communication manager. Now im using HTC Home screen and so far, so good

Problems with TomTom Navigator 6 on Polaris

I have had several problems with TomTom Navigator 6 (installed from HTC Touch Cruise CD). Using USA/Canada complete map purchased from TomTom.
History
1. The "Turn on sound" setting in Change Preferences does not stay set to on. Every time I start TomTom, the sound is turned off.
2. After a destination has been selected, the voice directions are incomplete. TomTom will say "After 100 yards..." rather than "After 100 yards, turn right". TomTom NEVER indicates what direction to turn in advance of the turn. It will tell you which direction to turn when you are at the point of turning, but never in advance.
3. I have a problem when selecting a contact as the destination. Click "Navigate to..." then "Contact", then scroll through my contacts and make a selection. In the vast majority of cases, Navigate to returns the address with the street number AFTER the street name rather than before it.
Thus TomTom returns:
Main Steet 134, Bryn Mawr
The address given for this contact can't be understood. Would you like to enter the address yourself?
All of my contacts are synced from Outlook/Exchange and are all set up correctly. This bug renders the Navigate to Contact fetaure useless.
First follow-Up
I finally got around to call TomTom regarding these problems and I am not happy with their response!
According to TomTom, the HTC Touch Cruise is not on their supported list. That's correct folks, not supported. Doesn't matter that it comes packaged with the TC, it's not supported. Blame HTC (they say) for including the license with an unsupported device.
The technician suggested that I downgrade to Navigator 6 V6.030 which supposedly addresses my issues. I did the downgrade and determined that:
1. The sound setting still is not maintained. In fact, it now required that I press Turn on Sound twice for this feature to work.
2. I am still not getting the complete voice response, only "After 1/8 mile..." No turn left or turn right. TomTom said I should reformat my memory card and reinstall app and maps and that MIGHT help. Well, I'm, not going to go through all of that unless I know it will work, too many other things on the memory card to deal with.
3. Navigate to.. Contacts now actually seems to work! But the ironic thing is that TomTom told me that the Navigate to... Contacts feature is ENTIRELY UNSUPPORTED even though it is in their software! They claim it was never completed and therefore not supported.
This is absurd. The hardware is not supported by the software that it was bundled with, and the software itself has features that are not even supported by the developer.
Second follow-Up
I uninstalled and reinstalled TomTom 6.032 from the CD. Also uninstalled and reinstalled the maps.
1. Default sound setting seems to have been fixed.
2. Still have the problem with incomplete audio directions ("In 1/8 mile...)
3. Navigate to Contacts also seems to be working though not tested extensively.
Am I the only user with this TomTom oddity? Why on earth will it not state the entire direction? TomTom has been no help, anyone here have any ideas?
I cannot say this for the US/Canada maps but for the Benelux/Western Europe maps, the directions are OK and I don't encounter your problem.
I'm using the default Dutch voice in version 6.032.
Try a hard reset and install tomtom again on the clean rom, see what happens with that.
German maps work fine, too. I'm using Lisa (as a speaker , who is more or less Tom Tom default I believe.
Sound settings are kept correctly.
Version 6.032
I don't have any problems with TomTom either.
IF you want to try some other voices, you could drop me a PM and we'll "arrange" so you can get them from me (got a package of many different voices)

I was preparing to hard reset my TC (last resort) when I figured that there was nothing to lose by changing the voice. I did, and it worked! Never would occur to me that the voice selection would have any impact on this problem.
But, unfortunately, the problem with keeoing the default sound setting has returned. Each time I start TomTom, the sound is off. ARGH!
Anyway, thank you for steering me in the right direction. Hopefully this one issue is now put to bed.
Nice to be able to help
maybe you could be so kind reading my thread and answer it? (since it seems i'm the only one in this forum that actually owns a TC *cough cough*)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=382568
I get exactly the same problem with the sound. I have an XDA Orbit II, sound in TomTom always off, have to keep changing it, removed it, I use Co-Pilot and Navigon now, both are great.
RE: Sound problem
I have the same problem with the sound and it was bugging the hell out of me too. Speaking to a friend of mine who has the same problem, apparently it is due to a known bug in the current TomTom release: If you have a data connection open when you start TomTom, it thinks you are in the middle of a voice call and mutes the sound. My friend also informed me that there should be a new release from TomTom soon that addresses the issue. I don't have any links but there may well be another thread somewhere on this forum about it if you search.
The sound on my TomTom will occassionally turns itself off and requires it to be turned on TWICE to work again. I think its a known bug. The problem used to be worse on my P3600/Trinity.
Update- from the kaiser forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=330235
It's a bug, you have to switch off the data connection before starting TomTom.
SIMPLE FIX: Roll the volume wheel and sound turns on.

Sure? Rumour has it on GPS-specific forums that TomTom are not actively working on updating Nav6 (for PDAs) because its too much like hard work; much more revenue in (simpiler) dedicated units which are more stable

Interesting. Prior to launching TomTom, I used Comm Manager to turn off the data connection. When TT launched, sound is indeed on! When sound is off as a result of an active data connection), using the volume slider on the TC does not turn the sound on. Seems like the only way it to go to settings and select Sound On twice.
Hopefully TomTom will correct this bug. May also try downgrading to 6.030 to see if that works but I don't know what features I'd be losing (if any).

htc and kenwood car stereo how to?

Hi, just bought a new car equipped with kenwood kbd bt6544u car stereo.
I succesfully connect my diamond with, but all my contacts doesn't remain on the radio after downloading and I have to resync everytime I switch off the radio, except for the quick call saved presets. I wonder if this is the normal behaviour or something is wrong. Can someone explain me how is the kenwood logic so maybe I understand how to use it properly? tks in advance brgds
hi,
I'm using my diamond with a kenwood KDC-BT8044U and I also need to sync every time but I think that this is normal... I've never seen a car stereo equipment which saves the contacts in a permanent storage... it doesn't need a lot of time and it works automatically, so...
regards
ps. If you get it work let me know how
Maybe there's a logic behind: if you connect with different phones you'll mess up all the contacts so maybe this way is better. Just this is not clear to me: when I get into the car the car bt connects but does anything, AFTER a phone call the contacts are downloaded (and sometimes hangs on downloading...). Is this also for you?
best regards

I have the KDC-BT8044U and I don't have this problem, as soon as it connects the contacts are automatically downloaded.
I have another problem, perhaps you can help me, the downloading from my HTC Touch HD WM 6.5 EnergyROM (14.06.09) takes extremely long for me (approx 5min30sec). I find it very annoying because during this time I can not make any calls.
How long does it take with your phones? I tried with a iPhone of my friends and it only took a few seconds.
Why is this taking so long for me with only 78 contacts?
Please help
well, I noticed that if I have the phone on (I mean screen on) when I connect, the download starts immediately, otherwise it starts after minutes and is extremely slow... Download time is about 60 secs, I had longer download time (also hangs) when I had a specific contact on my phonebook. After removing it problem solved... I found the "guilty" because activesync was unable to sync the specific contact. Hope it helps!
Hi, I also have a Touch HD and a bt-8044u. I can't seem to answer calls or dial calls from my head unit. Does anyone else have this problem?
My headunit also downloads each time it is connected!

Touch Diamond & Kenwood DNX7240BT
Initially had problems with these, sorted now.
Upgraded bluetooth (from Kenwood's site) but didn't help.
Next I erased pictures attached to phonebook entries and deleted ALL call records (these things store thousands of calls made, received or missed.) Now, it only takes about 6 seconds to show the entire phonebook is present on screen.
Shame the SMS won't work, yet. maybe in the future.
Hi all,
I have been looking at buying this head unit, and it would be great if you could answer the following:
I listen to a lot of audio books and would like to know that if you are listening to a track and switch the radio off, does the radio remember the track you were last listening to AND the position within the track.
It would be very annoying if the system flipped to the beginning of the track everytime....
Also does the headunit support streaming via bluetooth I have a TYTN II.
Thanks in advance....
When listening to music on a cd, playback resumes from precisely where it was prior to switching the ignition off.
I've never tried an audio book though so can't comment, sorry.
Audio streaming works fine over bluetooth (A2DP,?)from my Diamond.
H.T.H.
same problem here:
touch hd (xt grid evo 1.7)
kenwood 8044u
after every HF Connect the download starts.
The download needs about 5min then...
I have 95 contacts with ~150 numbers in my contactlist
No pictures, and all numbers as +49 123 456789
is there anything to get the download faster?
thx
Yes.
Delete all call records (in, out and missed) and text messages.
Mine had over two years worth of records at one time !
Whichever tweaking programme you use, set up a maximum list of 10 calls missed, made and received. This will prevent the list building up again. (I use 'Advanced Config' on my Diamond for this.)
H.T.H.
that's it
just deleted the history and then download nedds about 15sec now
Thx!
Is there an registry entry to set the number of saved entries?
I wish to diasble that at all for privacy reasons...
You're welcome, glad it worked for you.
Although there will be a way to limit the entries in the registry, I don't know it, sorry. If you download 'Schap's Advanced Configuration Tool' (available in this forum), it can do that and loads of other useful settings too.
I also set my phone to display only its internal phone book and not the sim contacts, which halves the number transferred to the Kenwood. This was also done from within the 'Advanced Config.' tool.
For best results, alter the number of entries for SMS messages, too. (again dead easy with the 'Advanced Config.' tool.)
My TD2 connects, syncs, but I can't hang up or establish a call by myself. Answering calls works fine using the control knob. Any suggestions?
HoPi,
I don't think your phone is supported, yet.
See, http://www.kenwood.com/cs/ce/bt/index.php for a compatibility list.
Keep an eye out for updates. When I first bought my headunit, there were 3 downloadable updates within the first few weeks.
HTH
Whoops, haven't seen that list. I just checked the local (german) version which only offers a PDF file (with 2 HTC devices mentioned). Seems like I can be glad that the phone works half-way. Thanks!
