how do i make a shortcut to dial a phone number?

What's the dialer and the syntax it take?
I thought I could do something like "cdial.exe 1234567890" but that doesn't dial the number.

I would love to know this too. Anybody? I am beginning to think it cannot be done via shortcut because I have been searching for a few hours for an answer.

Bummer. That's what I want, but it doesn't work with WM5.

From the official site:
WM2003 and WM5 phones compatible.
These tools are used with the PocketPC Phone Edition to make an SMS, Email or call from the command line.
This software is a replacement for my old tools, VJSMS and VJDialer.
This replacement is hopefully now Windows Mobile 2005 compatible. This new release features...

have you tried extracting the exe file from the installer?

No, it seems to be just a .CAB file with extensions like .001, .002, etc.

did you find out how to make shortcuts to dial?

No, but I got the MyFav thing in WM6 to work, so that basically gets at what I wanted to do: push a button to dial somebody.

why don't you use speed dial?

Yeah, that's what I was going to say. It's so much easier just to use Speed Dial.

Right, with speed dial, i have to remember things. I wanted a little button on my home screen that i could navigate too, press, to dial, like it was on the Treo.
MyFav does this for me now.

WM's phone book and speed dial both suck. This is how I do my own phonebook/speeddial, very easy, simple, convenient and universally accessible (locally or online).
Create an empty txt file and rename it to MyNumbers.htm. Add lines like this for each #:
<a href=wtai://wp/mc;123-456-7890>My Home Phone</a>
<a href=wtai://wp/mc;#737pppp1pp1234567890#pppp1p3>My Account Balance</a>
The first line is self-explained; the second line show how to check my account balance (PagePlus prepaid) by inserting automatic pauses and pin presses. This is obviously ideal for calling card dialing. wtai means wireless telephony application interface, supported by most phones. wp means public library is used and mc means make call function in that library. Another useful function is ap (add speed dial), which prompts you to add a # into your phonebook. More details here:
http://support.avaya.com/elmodocs2/avayaip/46xx/WTAI_Tags_Sample_Code_ver25.pdf
When you click on this file or its shortcut, your default browser will open this page and then you can click-n-dial. Of course you can place this page on your website, then you can use it with any your handhelds. I attached a sample here (rename it to .htm). If you have a ASP web server, you can use my XinNotes for phonebook/speeddial and any notes:
http://www.fixup.net/download/xinnotes.zip

<a href tel:1234567890>1234567890</a> is all you need
You might want to try callface, you can edit the calface.html and callface.html as you like.

Have you tried installing SDKcerts??

yes I have.

yea.. doesn't work for me either..

That's sucks! It's a Chinese app ^^ Send button is in chinese
@ all: don't forget to close Messaging app before installation!

Anybody have an english version then?

It is the WWE version only the send button has chinese symbols on it
everything else is English

I'm very nitpicky lol, unless I can change it

Disable HTC Sense before installing.
I can't seem to find the secure box option though.

Mine is cooked in. Screens attached. I'm removing it because of the Chinese buttons though. You can use buttons taken from an older client (bt_send.png etc.) but they only seem to work in new sms. If you reply the Chinese buttons still appear

Can someone re-up that .cab? It only downloads 2mb of it for me.

So, this completely wouldn't open a single message for me. Also, couldn't find the secure inbox option...not there at all

ok I think I know why I don't have it in my version. I replace the lang pack with the previous one as the latest pack only have chinese lang mui (which is not a problem for me, but I'm cooking so I tried to stay English)
edit: now that I've enabled it, this feature is really cool. basically it allows you to transfer messages in/out of the "safe" inbox, and you can access the "safe" inbox by entering a passkey which you will setup during the first access.
basically it provides ability to secure your private messages

Froyo and google chrome

I remember seeing that with FROYO we could link to Google Chrome and auto transfer files from the PC to our phone wireless over WIFI. Has anyone got this to work?
Here is a link from Ekostons He has it all in one place with directions. http://droidgawk.com/2010/05/22/froy...e2phone-links/

good job, makes it easer

I didn't find the directions too difficult to follow...though they didn't really make it very clear that the apk needs to be registered first.
However, even though I register the app on my phone with my email address, my computer still says unregistered. Any ideas? I'm using google apps with a custom domain. It took my login, it just said it was unregistered...

Good guide EkostonS. I got it working. But uhm what's the purpose for this chrome-phone extension? It just opens up the link on the phone? Perhaps I am missing the bigger picture, haha.

did u click the link in the guide to login on your computer? step 4 or 5? cant remember not looking at the guide at this time.
you must login to that for this to recognize to send.
and the point is to send things from your comp to your phone.
such as, MAPS, LINKS, VIDEOS
watching youtube video and ur leaving? send to your phone.
want to bookmark a site on your phone ur viewing on ur pc? send to your phone
and one of my fav's
want to download a cd torrent on your phone? download a torrent app on your phone, send the link from pc to phone and download !

works great with maps

I also made a video of it. I like this new froyo feature!!!
Sorry my Macro switching sucks!

FroYo: Download + Play Flash Games?

We've always been able to download .swf flash game files, but with Flash 10.1 I was hoping we could put them on the sdcard and play offline.
Anyone know how to do this? (For cataloging / playing Flash games when there's no connection.)

HAH! Idea: what about storing an html page that just launches a SWF? What's the least amount of code in a page that would do that?

Hahaha funny you say this, I tried it earlier after reading your message and no go.
For starters, no way to access local file from native browser (others may support it but native doesn't).
Closest I could come was by selecting the html file with astro, then choosing to open it with "HTML Viewer" (built into astro I think?) but it didn't show the embedded flash object.
I think best way to achieve this would be an app that can read a directory on sdcard and generate the html to load into a webview. I was thinking about throwing something together real quick but haven't had time to look and see if something like it already exists.

Damn, that's too bad.
Yeah, I find it very odd that you can't browse local html files.
A long time ago (G1 days) I tried all sorts of //file:/// weird stuff (like Firefox does) and couldn't get anything to work. I can't believe there's no way to browse locally.

Try file explorer in market for local browser.... let me know if it works lol

Yeah, I found this in another forum after posting this. Still, would be nicer to have a little interface that scans and builds a little menu out of flash files

[APP] IM Beejive Beta

I'm not sure if this is allowed, but since it's a direct link from beejive.com, I think it should be? I'm not actually in the beta.
http://beejive.com/android/beta/BeejiveIM.apk
If not, can a mod please delete the thread? Thanks

I might give it a try. I don't IM much these days but it's still nice to have a good client there for when you need it..
ATM i'm using the official msn messenger for android (without ads mod).

Do msn have official apps on android? What the name of the app?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

It's called MSN Droid.
Edit: Actually I'm not too sure if that's the official app, sorry.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

still in beta and the UI is pretty good.
yet the function is rather poor.

No it's not msn droid.
It's official msn, but developed by PICA (chinese company http://www.pica.com/)
http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/tools/messenger_cbpe.html
I'm don't think it's available in english market, so heres a link to the apk (it is a free app, not warez) http://www.megaupload.com/?d=BALZ1U08
It is modified to remove ads (the official one has ads >_<)

Need to hide app icon in notification bar, its truly annoying.

needs work but pretty good so far...will be paying for it once it becomes available...

Nice
Seems to work pretty good. I like the ease. It does appear to be on all the time though but I've not seen a significant battery drop to warrant removing it. Really wish they would have opened the beta up for more people, I hated just downloading it but not being able to participate in bug posting.

Actually you can participate, Maybe not bugs, but fatal errors that cause the app to crash you can send email logs of when the app crashed directly to them. After the app has a force close it will ask you if you want to send the log when the app crashed to them by e-mail.

You have to rename the file to change it to .apk file. (at the moment it's named BejiveIM.apk.zip)
If you have file extensions hidden then unhide them and remove the .zip and save.

I was getting a "Timedout" and then "no client key" yesterday but the app started to work again late last night. I'm not too sure I like the size of the icon like others have said, but I do like its the most stable out of the clients I've tried without draining my battery.... much.

Palringo is way better

Agree! Reason I uninstalled after a few hours. Besides that the app icon seems larger than any of the others I have. But not being able to disable the icon in the notification bar is extremely annoying!!

Hi, Thanks for posting this. I used to use it on my Berry all the time . . . I installed it from your link & imo it's the best IM client out there so far & still Beta lol! The feature that lets you email the conversation or post to twitter is sic ;-)
I'll definitely be buying this app soon as it's out officially.

yeah this app isnt bad at all, it seems close to trillian it will come down to 5 things...
-features
-batterylife
-speed/lag between IMs
-reliable connection
-price (seems like trillian will be free)
