Grouping call history WM5 and WM6.

Hi All,
I am using a HTC Wizard running WM5.0, I also have HTC Hermes running WM 6.0. I would like to know if there is a way to ask the call history to permanently group the calls based on the caller.
For instance lest assume that I called Joe 10 times and he called 10 times, the call history would show 20 entries, one for each call. Instead, I would like to group all the calls from Joe into one entry, which should show the phone number and the time of the last call. Once you open this item, then it should show all the calls ever made and received by Joe and their times numbers etc.
WM6.0 has the ability to show all the calls made by Joe once you open the the item Joe from within the call history. But still, it would not group all Joe's calls into one entry in the call history itself which is what I want to see.
So, is there a way to do this? Or is there a software which can do this?
Yes, I know about menu->Filter->By caller. But this one is temporary and you have to pick the name from the list. Which is not what I am looking for.
I am NOT sure about what the dialers do. Can they help me accomplish this? Perhaps the diamond dialer?
Thank you for your comments in advance.

Duplicate Entries in Calling List

Hi Folks!
I´ve got my next PDA (Blackstone) right now and there is still one annoying thing.
When i call someone (or he´s calling me or unanswered) their is one entry per call in the calling list. i would like to have (like ALL of the "normal" just cellphones do) ONE entry per telephone number. by tapping on it then i can see the popup of how often and how long our calls have been) (the popup cant really be a problem, cauze there is already the popup with the information of the one single call (time, duration)
does anybody know how i can mange this.
thanks a lot in advance
best regards, twk1

me too
not an answer, but i need this feature as well.

Call filter software?

Would you suggest the best call filter software? Setting profiles with call and sms filtering (no ring, no wake up, directly delete calls and sms of specified users when active)?

Uhmmm not really... it notifies me when I receive a call... And anyway it's not possible to set profiles with group of rules... Or multiple action (sms AND call filtering) for the same number in the same rule.

After trying it better I have to say that I was wrong... this program rocks! Thank you

Good news...
That's what I'm really needing.
Gonna try it right away.
Thanks.

Magnificent! No more picking up my phone to see "Number withheld"
I may even pay for it after 10 days...

I use this and it works well. Call Firewall

spb phone suite has black list......working like as charm

magicall is the best! i just upgraded from 2.0 to 2.2 doin its job as i ordered it to.....lol

how can i intercept a phone call?

what i want to do is to automatically add a specific prefix to all outgoing calls made, for the purpose of saving calling fee in my area. for instance, i want to add 1234 before any call number, whether it's from call history, contact, or any other sources.
im a .net developer, but i didn't find any managed library that can intercept a phone call and make modifications to it. i also explored the TAPI a little bit, it appeared to be able to do the work for me. but the problem is i've no idea of c++ programming.
so is there anybody here who can help me on how to wrap these native methods into managed counterparts?
any/other clue would be appreciated.

Take a look at Google Voice. Perhaps that might be simpler to use to save money on calls?

Hi,
try with Settings > Connections > Advanced > Dialing Rules
I think you can setup a profile that fit your needs.
Bye

doesn't work. and i don't think that setting is for phone connection.

actually i've changed my idea to developing a separate application to access call history and contact. and then when call button is clicked, use the managed Phone class to dial out. this still needs native dll as to accessing the call history. but this seems to be more practical than intercepting outgoing calls.

iDialer
http://supware.net/iDialer/
Not sure if this is exactly what you want, but I use this with my Googlevoice configuration to make free calls. Here's how I have it set up:
1. Installed iDialer
2. Installed configuration CAB that I built through the iDialer website
3. Click the phone icon within iDialer to set it to "Ask" which service to use.
4. I also have installed iContact, so I then go the contact I want through iContact.
5. I select the number for that contact that I want to dial (Home, Work, Mobile, etc.)
6. My phone brings up a pop-up asking:
-Alltel
-GoogleVoice Internet
-GoogleVoice CallingCard
7. I select what I want and it dials that instantly.
This works VERY well for me, and I am able to use my callingcard for out-of-network calls, and Alltel for quick in-network calls.
Hope this info helps!

thanks for the details.
i have 2 queries b4 actually trying it:
1. does the phone call get available via the network? if yes, then it's not applicable for me, cos i'm using gprs which is slow if i want to transfer voice.
2. i checked out google voice and found that it only supports numbers in US. true?

Moved as not software release or development.
Please take your time to read the rules..

Call times / Reset Call Timer

Am wondering if anyone knows an app or way to reset the total phone call timer on a HD2. It would be nice to have an app or method to reset my call timer when my provider billing cycle starts each month, so I can prove they are over-charging me for calls. All the old school phones had this feature, even a way to enter your call rate and have it calculate your call costs for you. Appreciate any help. Thanks.

Cannot be done at this time, this one is like an odometer for your phone, it is made so you cannot sell a used phone as new ....
Search, this has been asked many times ....
There are apps that can track your time, or ask your provider if they have a shortcode to tell you your minutes ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=675718
just one of many threads on the subject ...

Thanks for the quick response, although not overly helpful it suggests that there must some legal reason why you cannot reset the phone's 'master' call timer (like not being able to reset the km's on your car). I already searched these forums on 'call timer' and other derivatives but found nothing useful, therefore asked. Also, the link you gave advises it is an invalid link? Would anyone else be able to shed some light...surely there's a genius in the community who has written an app for win mo that can track your call time? Appreciate any assistance.

Try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705575
I hope that no one does figure out a way to do it. Most who want a way to do it, want it so they can sell a used phone as new or barely used. They come on forums claiming they just want to be able to track this or that, but most know what they are up to.

Sorry guys - I must need to be clearer.
I don't want to reset the phones master counter. That would be ridiculous.
I want an additional counter that I can control. Just like being able to leave your cars master odometer whilst you reset the tripometer for each short trip you take, so you can see how far you traveled in any day. Surely theres a way to read the call history log and total up the time between 2 given dates? I'm new to mobile programming but can't find a way yet to do this in .NET CF.
Thanks again for the response.

I don't know if it's working on HD2 but i used it on my old kaiser phone.
Phone Dashboard 2.01
its tracking call time / data usage / sms.

Call history - why are we not shown the length of the calls anywhere?
I've searched but found no app that tells me the length of my calls. All the apps that available (including the default call history in Sense) only show the time you made the call, not the length of the calls. This would be very useful, wouldn't it?
Help anyone?
Thanks.
