Is there any ppc software out there that can do this?
I would love to use this for texting and emails?
plenty

There are services as well
Jott was the best known, but is now a pay service. You can get the voice to email/text message functionality from Dial2Do. I use it often when driving.

Thanks for the links...I'm also looking for SPEECH to text (not the reverse) solutions for WM...specifically like vlingo for Blackberry. Doesn't seem to be anything that competes with vlingo...anyone know of one?
Well I could not find one
so have put my email here http://www.vlingo.com/vlingo/vv_unsupported.jsp
for the vlingo version when its comes out
the more people to sign up the better
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that this Speech to Text conversion doesn't take place on the device, but rather the voice data is sent to a web server that decodes it and send back the text?
Is this true?

Yes. All the options till this date use a server for it as the database would be too big to be housed inside a smartphone.

Vlingo
I too used Vlingo with my Blackberry during the painful months that I had to use the Curve. It is the only thing that I miss about that device, and I too have been looking for this software. Vlingo was very smooth, and it processed everything on the device itself. Telus offers a Voice Command service, but even their proprietary version takes much longer to convert than Vlingo did.
One thing I have wanted on this phone since I got it is to be able to know when a text message or other notification comes through while in a call. Like a short beep or something similar to the sound the G1 makes when the battery is low. I am not a huge coder, but love toying around with my rooted G1. Any takers? Anyone want to do this? Anyone else been wanting this??? Thanks for all who view this thread.
I think Handcent sms has this feature but we are still missing gmail and other notifications
Maybe someone can get this done, this is one of the few things that has bothered me about my g1 since I got it.
I know this isn't the place to ask, but a way to have the keyboard along with the face buttons stay lit until the keys lock would be the best thing. It's annoying to move the trackball every time to just get those buttons to light up every time.
Unless there is a way and I've just missed it every time.

Obviously you people aren't READING THE WHOLE THREAD.
We are aware that Handcent covers SMS/MMS notifications in voice calls, but what about gtalk, gmail, facebook, MSN, ect.
As far as I can gather, Handcent DOESN'T do this.
The OP is asking for someone to see if it's possible to modify the Phone.apk to include this. All of you "Members" and "Senior Members" need to get off your high horses, if you're true senior members (likely not the case as most of your post counts probably come from slamming people who "DO EVERYTHING WRONG!!!") remember the days when the Android section of this forum was still relatively young, everybody helped everybody, regardless of how unusual or stupid their questions seemed. These days if you're not 100% perfect in your initial post, you get slammed. Leading to more completely useless posts from all of you "Senior Members" that are taking up EVEN MORE space with useless drivel that's EVEN MORE useless than the OP.
I personally think this is a great idea, and whole heartedly support it, if I had the slightest idea how this is done, I would be on it right away.
Also, before anybody slams me for being wrong, I have never used Handcent for my SMS handler because I prefer the modified one that comes with my CM build, but if it DOES allow notifications for ALL APPS through calls, it could have saved a great deal of time to mention that.
This gets my support as well. I dont like Handcent. So if we can make it work with the standard APK, it will be awesome. I have asked around, for it to work, its not the Phone.apk that needs to be modified, its the .apk that giving out the notification that has to be modified. example is
for sms/mms, the mms.apk needs to be modified to check the phone status, and give out the correct sound notification. (not in call, use selected sound clip from external speakers; in call, use small beep sound in the ear speaker.)
same goes for gtalk,gmail,twidroid and any other apps that have notification.

Good to see some serious input here finally, depressing to know it would have to be handled by the corresponding application, being as some of them are off limits (gtalk/gmail/ect).
At least someone still has their head on straight here.

I'm sorry. I usually post something constructive, but this kind of crap makes me mad.
Why does it bother you that he had more than one question? How can you even complain about that? Uh oh, I just used 2, I probably have a "metal disorder" too, huh? You know what people accomplish by asking questions? They learn things. Yes sir, it is people like YOU, who don't ask questions or even make the slightest attempt to educate themselves, who shouldn't be "allowed to breed." When people like you breed, we get thick skulled smart-asses who think they're tough on the internet.
P.S. You used 7 extra periods that weren't needed. Your first sentence was a fragment. You used one capital letter. You used the wrong form of it's the first time. You used the wrong form of you're. You forgot a period after retard. It's supposed to be "mental" disorders. You used an ellipses incorrectly. You used "where" instead of "were."
P.P.S. His sentence wasn't even a fragment (I'm assuming you mean't "typed" instead of "type"). "I'm an idiot," says Mr. Grammer and Punctuation. There you go. Stop trying to be a hero for the board, that is the mods job. You saying "OMG RONG [email protected][email protected]!!" isn't helping a thing, considering 90% of people who post in the wrong thread just post one time. Especially when there are people before you that have pointed this out. I know it gives you an ego boost, but seriously, keep it in your pants. You are the one filling xda with garbage, not the people who have a question about a feature they would like to see implemented on their phone.
Thanks for bearing with me, everyone else.
Stefan, find something better to do than insult people in a forum. Next time you see something in the wrong place and someone has acknowledged it, I dare you to just skip over it.
I was going to delete this as well but it makes my point so much easier to make and its not a flame post or very hostile.

Obviously, you're not reading the whole thread, bro. We are putting suggestions out. So what if we miss two words? You're complaining about something that's not happening. We're still TRYING to help.
But, back on topic. Now that I know this, I support. Would be quite useful, as I have it set so apps get killed on screen off and it seems everytime I press "End" on a call, it goes blank and only thing that keeps me knowing I even have a sms is "Sms unread count" widget.

I do sometimes, especially when coordinating stuff with a few people. It will be something like talking to someone, then getting a text to update me on information to relay to the person I am talking to. Stuff like that.
Other times its just an compulsive need to reply text as soon as it comes in.
Also, another reason why you need to know if a text comes in while in a call : having 2 girlfriend. (not that I have 2 anyway)

I have the TTSnotifier app and it will announce the callers name, if they are in my contacts, from call waiting. I also have it set to notify me of incoming texts as well. Doesn't work with email though. You will need the text to speech app from the market for it to work. You can customize the announcements. Hope maybe this will help. Can't remember where I got it from but I can e-mail it to you. [email protected]

Just emailed you.... I don't care if I don't get my texts or email but the absence of "call waiting" notification has been driving me nuts... to the point of really thinking of getting rid of G1. I mean, this is so basic, we shouldn't have to find workarounds just to enable this. If that app does that... it would be like a gift from heaven.

opinion? someone else may see the use in this.
Hi tried posting this in Q&A thread and got no response. So thought I'd try again here in the Apps section.
Is there a way set a discrete ringtone to unknown callers. I do not believe there is a way to do this right now. I think I need an application to do it for me.
Apparently there are three different types of unknown calls:
1. Calls from number-withheld callers.
2. Calls from a public telephone.
3. Calls from the environment where you are unable to notify the number.
It is not possible to treat the three separately.
No problems here... All I want is for my phone to use a specific ringtone for these calls, that is different to the default one I assign to contacts or calls from non withheld numbers.
I do not want to block or divert or silence them, which is what the current "unknown number" Applications do.
I do not want a different ringtone for callers not in contacts. So don't confuse my request as a requirement for this.
I get a lot of legitimate calls from a single "unknown caller" who is is fact my employer. They use number-withheld to mask who is calling. So I want my phone to ring differently when they call. Seems a pretty simple request to me.
The Nexus call log does not let you add Unknown calls in the history to contacts, which I have read in another forum as a suggested solution.
Simply want the phone to realise caller ID is unknown and because of this fact use a dedicated ringtone.
Any ideas? Perhaps for you programmer types, it is a simple app waiting to be made, that no one has thougt of yet
You could even call it "Unknown Tone". That rhymes and has a certain ring to it. pardon the pun
Alright - so no one is at all interested in this app. I can live with that.
But a simple favour. Could someone at least tell me if an app to do this seemingly simple task would be relatively easy to make?

Its 6am here in the US and your post is 4 hours old. Wait a bit and you will get answers
Do you have access to google voice? It lets you screen unknown callers.
Thanks for the reply. I recall a lack of interest back when I had a WinMo phone a couple of years ago too. Just not something most people need.
Don't have google voice as I am in Australia. If I new how to program, I would have a crack at it. On the face of it, it sounds so simple. Wonder if it would be a simple utility that I could do as a way of learning something about programming with the SDK.
So no one nows if a app to set a dedicated ringtone for unknown callers is possible?
I have installed Eclipse and the android SDK, naively thinking I might be able to make this app myself. Hello World is about the limit of what I can do. I have NFI where to start programming this thing.
Funny thing is on the face of it it seems such an easy thing to do.
If phone rings AND caller ID = unknown, assign ringtone X.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=666894
It's dedicated to ROM development, I think...but, maybe you can get some help there on coding...
OK thanks will give it a try. It is such a simple idea after all.
Unknown caller answer
Hi
Just had the same issue...Go into your call history and find one of the "unknown" or "private" numbers with no phone number attached and save it as a contact and then assign your ringtone....I have a htc hero and can do this. Just did it for Private and Unknown, they can be no number attached to it, otherwise it will only work for that particular num.
NO app needed.
Good Luck

Not the case I am afraid.
Hero must run an earlier version of the android OS that the Nexus One. Because what you suggested was the very thing I first tried before starting this thread. Android 2.1 is smart enough or stupid enough (depending on your point of view) to prevent adding "Unknown" numbers to contact.
Normal number in call history, long press gives:
Call 1234567890
Edit number before call
Send text message
Add to Contacts
Remove from Call log
Unknown number in call history, long press gives:
Remove from Call log
So as you can see the lack of an "Add to Contacts" choice means I am currently snookered. What android is on your Hero and do you get the same list of options as shown above when you long press an unknown number?
Perhaps the functionality you described was removed without thought to unintended consequences in OS2.1 . They might put it back in with OS2.2 with any luck.

Yes I heard you the first time. I just tried to suggest an easy way to get rid of the unknown calls because I figured why would anyone want to here an annoying ringtone for a call that he probably doesn't want to pick up! This is why I have such few posts but I have been a member here for a lot longer than most people! You sound really angry there bud ^_^
Nah not angry bud. Just pointing out that your suggestion (for which I thanked you) does not assign ringtones to unknown callers and therefore is not a solution for me. Will be interesting to see if Froyo does this any differently. I am guessing not.
I would like to know an answer to this as well. I just upgraded to nexus one from treo 680. IN the Treo it was a simple matter to assign a particular ringtone to unknown numbers, in fact it was a menu option in call settings.
Isn't it interesting how the Treo has it as a Menu option. Where as for all intensive purposes it is not possible in the Android OS.
I now have Android OS 2.2 on my N1 and it remains unchanged. Still no obvious way to assign a discrete ring tone to an Unknown caller. Plenty off apps to block/kill Unknown/Private calls. But no way to simply give them a discrete ringtone.
Just to add that I've also wanted this since I first got my Hero - it should be possible without having to resort to using an app, though i'd be grateful for an app if it existed
You guys should request it for CyanogenMod or ask WYSIE if it's possible to add to his Contact.apk mod.
Here's a stupid question though... have you tried first going into the options for contacts and UN-checking "only contacts with phones" and then see if you can have a contact that doesn't have a phone number attached named "Unknown" ? I realize it's a long shot, but maybe you were only trying to add it when that option was checked....
Not sure if this can be setup to achieve what the OP needed?

Hi all!
I'm virtually 100% an Android convert, putting it on my HD2 a week ago and barely looking back!
One of the few things I do need Windows Mobile for, though, is using a small application called LowCaller (lowcaller.com). This allows me to call contacts via my Voipcheap account but rather than going via the internet connection (WiFi, 3g) it calls a 020 (London) number and then directs me to the person I'm calling.
This means I get perfect quality international calls no matter where I am and I only use my inclusive contract minutes.
I've tried to contact LowCaller via their website but I can't get through to them (the damn verification code is always apparently wrong!) so can't find out if they have an Android version in the pipeline. They appear to support WM, iPhone, Blackberry and Symbian so an Android version would be very logical on their part!
Any alternatives?
Thanks!
I tried SipDroid with my SIP.
Can't hear anything on my end, maybe you have better results?
You can try Nimbuzz or Fring, and then add your VoipIP provider
Hey guys, thanks for the suggestions but these apps/messengers are solely for calling via Voip directly to another party, as opposed to calling a local number which then, via my Voip account, directs to another party (meaning that I can do it from anywhere without the need for an internet connection, and with perfect results - no lag, cut outs, etc.)
LowCaller is fantastic because I've driven around towns and countryside in England while talking via bluetooth to my friend in Canada on her mobile - the quality was practically like that of any normal call!
It works like this,
I select 'Call via LowCaller' from my phonebook > My phone calls an 020 London number owned by LowCaller > The call gets routed to the number of the person I'm calling and I lose my inclusive minutes just like any normal call.
I think rebtel might do what you need
I use jajah (jajah.com) . It works like you described. Sort of. They give you a local nr for all your foreign contacts. So there is no app but you just dial the unique local nr and your friend in timbuktu answers the phone.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
LowCaller
Come on guys!!
The guys is asking you about LowCaller in Android, and you recommend jahjah and Rebtel!!!!
JahJah and rebtel make a newnumber for each contact!! This is pain. You dont want to make a new number for each contact!!
We dont want to use 3g or wifi! we want to use a landline number.
So please, if you know anything exactly similar to lowcaller, please answer. Otherwise, DO NOT give bad recommendations!!
Afaik, rebtel does exactly what he asked for. I don't think you need to set up different no.s for different contacts, it just routes all international calls through a local no.

OK, I won't.
Bump!
Still no Android support from LowCaller. Any developments here guys?
Remember I'm after a LowCaller-type setup, i.e. I'm using my contract minutes to call a national number that will connect me to another number via my Voip account.
So stuff that simply makes calls via WiFi/3g isn't what I'm after (but thanks for the suggestions)
Peace

Hi keesvl55 - I've installed CcApp but can't work out how to (or if I'm able to) set it up to work with VoipCheap. I seem to be only able to add calling cards, which aren't what I'm using.
Looks like we're getting there anyhow!
I wonder if LowCaller will ever release a Droid version or update any of their current versions? It seems they never updated their WM client to work with 6.5.X, hence why I've always stuck with regular ol' 6.5, so maybe all hope is lost for them to come out with something themselves?
I guess another way would be to save the numbers LowCaller assigns my international contacts with in WM. I'm unsure, however, just how long these stay valid for before another gets assigned.
BUMP!
2,000 views so I can't be the only one after a LowCaller port / clone for Android!
I've noticed LowCaller's contact form on their website is working again now:
http://lowcaller.com/en/contact.php
Go there and request they release an Android version to the marketplace.
If you type "LowCaller" into Google now the first suggestion is "lowcaller android" or "lowcaller for android" - there's obviously a big demand so let's get harassing their developers!
Lord knows I might even click an ad or two should the need arise!

BetaMax Dialer seems to be exactly what you are looking for, right?

Christ! I think you may be right. I'll be trying it out tomorrow. Great spot !
Just a follow up to any one of the trillions Googling and finding this thread - as suggested above Betamax Dialer (now found on the market) looks like the way to go. The only difference I see between this and LowCaller is that with this you have to specify your Voip retailer's (e.g. voipcheap) local access number, so you only use that one number as opposed to a different landline number for each of your contacts in LowCaller.
I've bought Betamax Dialer Pro to show my support for a developer actually creating a Betamax local-calling client though I'm not sure exactly how the "call-2-call" or whatever it's called feature works. Guess I'll have a play around and see!
Under £1 on the market for Pro if anyone wants to try.
Thanks again 90180360.

The problem I have is that it doesn't integrate in the phone's dialer.
Also, if you want to choose a contact, it has to populate the contact list each and every time.
I still prefer to just save those contacts I want to call by VOIP as ACCESSNUMBER Pause PHONENUMBER in my phone book.
Works perfectly, no additional software needed.

I don't think you have a different landline number for each contact in LowCaller.
Maybe you're thinking of Localphone.com, I think that's how they work.
Yes nice one, will try this when I get home
Will Mango fix the basic functions that were missing when released?
None of the recent reviews seem to address this..
1. Can you listen to movie audio via bluetooth headset ?
2. Can you prevent sms notifications appearing - especially on the lock screen ?
3. Is there now a detailed CALL History ?
4. Can you delete history of recent people, photos, music etc ?
5. Can you forward emails and text messages ?
6. Any sign of SMART Dialing ?
7. Can you SMS to a contacts 2nd mobile number ?
I am sure there are other small things I cant think of...
3. Is there now a detailed CALL History ?

Call history has been beefed up quite a bit. Not sure exactly what you are looking for though.
5. Can you forward emails and text messages ?

You have already been able to do this with emails & text messages/mms.
Not sure on the rest, I haven't been specifically looking for those though with the exception of smart dialing, which I do not think is in Mango.

1) I think so, not sure.
2) -
3) yes
4) -
5) since lauch
6) -
7) Yes and this is already possible. Just create a second contact and link them together. Kind of hacky true, but it works.

Ι am sure that you never had an WP7 device for everyday use ...
I think you just play with one for while ..but not for every day use

@colossus_r what is your POINT !!!!!!!!!!
I`ve had a Samsung Omnia since October and carry it everyday along with my Blackberry for work.... but I dont have time to f%%k about trying to work out things that are not obvious!!! My phone is pre-nodo btw if that makes a difference..
About Question 5
Now I am looking at a text message on the phone I press the three dots (...) and the options are send (which just does a reply) and attach. Exactly how do I forward to a different person as it does not seem clear...
About Question 7
Also how would I know that to sms to a 2nd number in contacts I would have to create a 2nd contact for the same person and then link them!!!
Questions were aimed at people who have used the Early Mango Build
Thanks to those who have answered so far

If you youtube the windows phone mago review you will see some of the features in action which could help some of the questions you havent asked.
Press and hold on a msg, you will see the option for forward. Its pretty easy to find out. That's why the other guy was questioning if you have used a wp7 phone on a daily base. Yeah, you do need to calm down a bit. If those features were important to you, a quick search would have solved your problem.

In my opinion, NoDo fixed the basics. WP7 was horrid before NoDo. Mango is supposed to go beyond the basics with added features bringing WP7 up to the level of other smartphones.
what about contact search in mango? anybody has info on whether we can search by company or still by name only?
Not sure, but there are groups anyway, so you could set up business groups.
To the original poster...
1. Dont know, hope so.
2. Dont know again, doesnt really bother me, though, just swipe to the right and it disapears.
3. Yes
4. Dont know, wouldnt use it, so havent looked.
5. Both availble since launch, just hold on the text and click foward (three dots wont work, because how the hell is the phone supposed to know which text you want to foward.) Email just press the lower left icon and it says Reply or Forward, choose forward... Incredibly simple.
6. Dont know, hope so.
7. If there is a second number in your contact you can just do it from the people hub anyway.
Company search for Exchange 2007/2010 always worked always worked I think ...but Exchange 2003 company search (GAL) was enabled in NODO
Thanks to all for answers and appologies if I have offended anyone I am a bit peeved with Microsoft, Orange and Samsung and this non update on my Omnia 7 issue......
Anyway
Email - I just realised that I actually did know previously that you could forward email but forgot as I have been mainly using Company Blackberry for email for a few months now...
SMS - I agree I didnt think it through properly and didnt think about the conversation mode would mean requiring a long press... looked a few times and tried short presses but just assumed it was a missing feature.
Thanks again feeling a bit think now
There is no smart dialing in the beta I'm using

When I start typing something in the "People" application, it finds it whether it's in the name, company or notes field of my address book. Google apps synced account, if that's of any interest, but I see no reason it wouldn't be global.
