Greetings,
For reasons similar to an earlier poster, I'd like to find a way to map a button to mute/unmute the mic during a cell call.
A small application was posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=386810 which does this.
However it does not work on the Treo800w (as well as a few others) due to the fact that it looks for text on the button, which isn't there in this model.
In any event, after exhaustive searching - their doesn't appear to be any ready-made solution for this. I'm willing to write my own, but it's not even clear to me from the msdn api docs that it's even possible to directly manipulate this? Is this type of control "protected" from the Windows portion of the phone?
The idea would be to write a tiny app to toggle it and then map it to aebutton or something similar.
This is pretty much exactly what "itsallwright" did, and I'd like it for the same reasons - it's just his approach doesn't work on the Treo800w.
Thoughts?

Hi,
i'm looking for software that, with one push on a button, places a time/datestamp (real date and time) in a table everytime you push
the same button and then advances to the next record.
There is such software here, but it is only for the Palm:

Does anyone know if there is something like that for the PPC?
TIA
On my P900 I once tried out an application called billable buddy by Mastersoft. Might be what you are after might however not.

Thanks for your suggestion but thats not what i'm looking for.
Maybe there are some programmers among us who can make such a simple program.
The only thing it has to do is with one push on a button record time (and date) in a table, everytime you push a button.
like loading the date and time into the clipboard and do a ctrl +v
unless i'm mistaken
Rudegar,
that's correct!
But it has to be in a table and everytime it must put the real time and date
in a new record of the same table.
So, Had my Qtek S200 for just a bit more than a week now, and getting to set up the details. And now I'm trying to figure out some obvious voice-dialing tricks that should be present on a device like this. But obviously is not there or well hidden.
I want a voice-number mode. Like I press the headset button and say: "Dial" and then just say one number at a time, possibly even with short-names for area-codes, and of course a "Wrong" or "Back" if a number gets misinterpreted.
I havn't installed the voice-command software that I can install for free, but that's just because outside dialing numbers I don't really need any more voice-control. And to install all of that just to get this little function (if it's at all there) seems a bit over the top.
I also find it strange that I cannot have a common word for "Home", "Work" and "Mobile". What I mean with that is that Saying a name should open that contact, and then just say which type of number should be dialed. That would obviously save space for more controls and thus less misses in the control. But that is a seriously minor point to the obvious number-dialing.
Best Regards

Hi SDplus!
While I and other people may agree with you, Microsoft unfortunately doesn't. I have the same device with imate ROM (Jamin) and it comes with "Cyberon voice dial" in the ext ROM. That is actually a reduced version of the voice commander that only handles prerecorded voice tags.
Bummer, but no choice there. At leas the manufacturers are trying to add the 3rd party software like cyberon to the ROM so you don't have to pay for it.
Also I had to give up my camera button to assign the app to it. It's a nice device but the extra 'OK' button could be put to a much better use by default.

MS release a technical preview of recite:
What Is Microsoft Recite?
Microsoft Recite is a search technology for your voice that runs on Windows Mobile* devices. With Microsoft Recite, you can use your voice to easily store, search and retrieve the things you want to remember, where and when you need them. Microsoft Recite is available as a free technology preview beginning February 16, 2009.
*Microsoft Recite can be used on devices running Windows Mobile version 6.0 or higher. Not sure what you’re running? A complete list of devices can be found at http://recite.microsoft.com
How Does It Work?
Microsoft Recite’s voice search makes it easy to retrieve your stored thoughts and notes by using voice pattern matching. It analyzes the patterns in your speech and finds matches between two recordings -- the notes you stored on your phone, and the search you do using your voice. With Recite you can store thousands of spoken notes, and then later retrieve the notes you want based on a match with your search term(s). This is different from speech recognition, which has to accurately convert spoken words to application-readable input.
Press “Remember” to record a thought.
Press “Search” to retrieve your thoughts. It’s that simple!
Consumer Use
We can think of countless handy ways that you might use Microsoft Recite… record your shopping list, friends’ birthdays, addresses, school happenings, gift ideas, get togethers, favorite wines… anything you might need or want to remember later. Recite even lets you remember and search in multiple languages.
Here’s an example. Imagine your co-worker, Paul Johnson, tells you about a book that he thinks you might like, Hot, Flat and Crowded, by Thomas Friedman. To start recording a mental note, launch the technology, press the 'Remember' button, then say what you would like to record; in this case, “Book recommendation from Paul Johnson: Hot, Flat and Crowded.” Next, press the “Finished' button to complete the recording and store the note. Later, when you’re ready to buy the book but are unsure of the title, click on the ‘Search’ button and say what you would like to recall. In this case, you might say “book recommendation,” then press ‘Finished’ to begin the search. Recite will then retrieve and play the book recommendation for you.
Or, you might recall that Paul told you something that you wanted to remember, but forgot what it was. In this case, click ‘Search’ and say “Paul Johnson.” Microsoft Recite will retrieve all mental notes that include the sounds “Paul Johnson.” In this case you would hear “Book recommendation from Paul Johnson: Hot, Flat and Crowded.”
No search button - solved, but not capturing voice
I have "remember" on the left softkey and "privacy" on the right one, which loads PIE at the privacy policy page for the project. I can't locate the search funtion. Anybody get this to work?
I have similar funtionality through Evernote, but not the ability to voice search, so it would be interesting to try.
edit: It was not capturing the recordings, so there was nothing to search. Once I got it to successfully capture, the search function was there. It is still shutting down without capturing.
It crash on many HTC .. so its cool but buggy
It doesn't seem to work for me on WM 6.1 (Touch). I can record lots of things but the search always comes up with the same result even if NONE of the words in it match.
No good so far.
New version out. Much improved
I had reported my issues on the feedback page on the beta site, and got an email response last night that a new version is available. I dl'd it and it is much better than the original. It now responds to the touch screen as well as the soft keys, and it captured the recording right 4 out of 4 tries. the search funtion worked pretty well, but not perfect. Saying "Anthony" didn't work, but "Anthony's" did. As in "Anthony's birthday is . . . "
What this program needs to rock is text to speech, and integration with outlook. the ability to speak calendar entries and to-dos into the phone would send MS to the top of a lot of peoples lists.
Yeah this is a cool program. Thanks for letting us know there was an update.
It´s working, but bull.. sh..t
you can´t organize the files you recorded . A delete function is missing .
MS is trying to tease us.
It worked well in my Prophet. But one thing worries me: where are the recorded files saved? It seems internal memory but where?
Could anyone post the Last cab of recite ?
ok got it!
It need to use ie mobile
for downloading the cab !
MS dont like opera!!
MS recite CAB for everyone
I've uploaded the last version that run fine.
Works perfectly on Elfin
Updated again..here it is.
I just found this program and for some reason I am unable to dl it from the microsoft website. Is the cab right above this one the most recent?
Hi guys,
for a few months now I am looking for a remote control for my Diamond. The best solution I found so far is the PPC Tablet Remote Control Suite, but this does not have all the features I need.
What I am looking for is a tool which allows me to define my own buttons (PPC Tablet does this) and also to create a script behind (PPC Tablet only sends key strokes). E.g. I want to have a full media center conrol app, including the control of my favorite programs, DVBViewer, Foobar2000 and the KMPlayer. Everyone of those has already several shortcuts. I can address them from PPC Tablet, but I can not start the programs. I also cannot shutdown Windows or in-/decrease the system volume if needed. This would only be possible if the tool sends a command like {volume_down} to a server processing tool, which then has a database where this command is linked to lowering the system volume (a kind of scripting language). My infrared remote has that ability, but I want to get rid of it since it only controls the DVBViewer in a correct manner.
I already heard of a tool called "Girder", but am not sure whether this is the right thing for me.
I hope I did not scare you off by this quite long text and would be very happy if someone could recommend a suitable application to me.
Regards and thanks in advance!
did you try Salling Clicker? you can create your own (java) scripts for it and a lot of scripts are shared on the salling clicker forum...
Hi,
thanks for the quick reply. Yes, I have been to the homepage, but have never installed it (I thought there may be an easier - code less - solution out there). I just dont like java very much, but I'll give it a shot.
Thanks!
check out theire forum, a lot of custom scripts are submitted and working very well! you can quite easily script yourself by starting from some other script and modifying it to your needs...
A quick update on this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=574593
We are trying to get as many contributors as possible at the moment, be it for beta testing or active programming.
dear devs, i was wondering if there could be any registry tweak to light up the led when sms come just like what the phones do when low battery
I guess not. It really a shame that MS couldnt implement a message, email, missed call reminder. The implemented missed call reminder only works for a few minutes after the missed call.
Agreed. The LED is actually a non-trivial battery drain, even on a short duty cycle (plus the slight increase in CPU needed to wake up and drive it) but it should be the user's choice, even if off by default.
Unfortunately, I don't think MS included any such functionality, hidden or otherwise. Doing it with homebrew might be possible, but wouldn't be easy; you'd need an app that could access SMS (or call, or whatever) activity, drive the LED state, and do it from the background long-term without crippling the battery life. Frankly, it's the ideal kind of thing for a native app... but we still haven't managed to make those work.
What you would need, in order to implement this in a homebrew app:
Access to the history/activity of the behavior you want to indicate (SMS, whatever).
Access to the LED, either through an official API to control it or by sending IOCTLs to the driver.
The ability to run long-term in the background - I don't know if this is feasible right now, though you might be able to savagely abuse the background audio decoder agent (the only official API that allows long-term third-party code execution in the background).
APIs for SMS (and I think for notification LEDs?) are on MSDN.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee498239.aspx
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee481040.aspx
Those are for Windows Embedded Compact (CE7), which is not exactly the same as WP7 even after you strip away the WP7 UI and application model. Nonetheless, they've been useful references to me when developing native code in the past, and might work here.
If you're not familar with native code development, search this forum for Heathcliff74's great how-to on the subject. If nothing else, it would be worth it to find out if those APIs can be used.

Thx. Is's very kind and patient of you tell me so much about that.
on my hTc 7 pro the green led blinks on sms and missed calls. but only for 5 minutes than it goes off... i would like to have it on till i look on the screen what is the notification... that would be cool. but i haven't found any tips how to tweak that.
recently i look in the registry and found a /notification/ led path. that could be to the path of the green and red led. and there is some things like "blackout time" custom timer... etc. but i don't understand the timing they are in binary code written and i'm not sure if this is for the LED on top of the handset. i found this registra on windows mobile devices too. (and there it is for the blinking led)
The LED on the handset is certianly the "notification LED" if you phone has one (not all do). It lights up or blinks to "notify" you of certain things (missed calls, low battery, charging complete, etc.)
There may be some registry values that can control its behavior. Otherwise, I'd suggest trying with the native APIs. I'd like to help with this but you'll have to wait quite a while if you want me to do so; I've got a lot that I'm working on right now.
