I didnt really know where to put this, but here goes anyway
I have a HTC S710 with a broken screen. Im currently using it through MyMobiler, but this is really slow and then theres a number of smaller problems with it too.
I was wondering if there was any program which means you can use the resources avaliable on my phone, sms, calls etc, through my pc. Maybe a faster program similar to mymobiler. I think it would be great if it showed a popup when there was a text or an incoming call?
I have searched and not come up with anything usefull.
also, another thing i want to know is if there is any way to make my phone turn on speakerphone automatically upon answering a call?
Thanks, Cris
There are a few diffrenet apps available, but MyMobiler is the best, especially since it's free. There is an app here as well for turning on the speaker during an incoming call as well.
Just a question though, why wouldn't get a replacement device. Seems odd to only control it through your PC.
well, i dont want to replace it simply because im a student, therefore i cant really afford it. Secondly i just like this phone, so it seems a waste to not use it at all any more when it still functions as a phone even if i cant see whos calling.

I dont suppose you have a link to this app do you?
SpeakerPhone v1.05 (cab attached) when an incoming call is received, the speakerphone of your device will automatically turn ON when you receive a call.
Here is the LINK for further info...

Hello everybody,
I recently had a very strange experience with my Vodafone VDA Compact GPS (this device is identical to HTC Trinity). I've talked to some friends of mine who know about mobile networks and Windows Mobile but it seems, I'm the only person who ever had this particular problem.
Here's what happened:
I had called a friend. He had picked up and we were talking so the call had already been established.
All of a sudden, during our conversation, I start hearing a busy tone from my phone. I'm still hearing my friend so the busy signal came out of nowhere parallel to the active call.
I check my phone display and it now shows two separate calls. First it says "Busy" and underneath this it shows the call with my friend (his name and the seconds counting).
In other words it looked as if my phone on its own accord had tried to call someone else during my call and was now getting a busy signal.
I asked my friend if he could hear the signal but he heard nothing.
Then the next strange thing happens. After 10 seconds of this then the phone software shows the call being finished. Meaning in the display I could see "Last call - my friend's name" and the "call" icon was back to green. I even tried pressing the "call" icon but nothing happens.
Only the call isn't really over. Although the display says otherwise, the call is still ongoing and I can talk to my friend for another 15 seconds or so before the actual call is suddenly interrupted.
In other words, the software is showing that the call is over but it really isn't. And the whole incident was caused by a busy signal that came out of nowhere.
After this incident I call customer support but they insist that I didn't call anyone else at the time.
As stated above, I've not been able to find anyone who has ever even heard about this particular malfunction let alone who could explain to me what might have been going on.
Has anyone here ever had the same or a similar experience or can anyone explain what might have happend?
I really hope somebody can help me out here.

Hmm, still no answers.
Maybe I should clarify my question. What I'm wondering is if anybody has experienced the same problem?
And/or if there's somebody out there who knows about these things whether this strange incident was most likely caused by a software malfunction on the device or any kind of network glitch....
I was told this forum is where the best of the best gather. So where do I find an answer if not here?
Hi all,
The effect I'm looking for:
While an open phone call, I'd like to be able to play sounds into the call stream so that (similiarly to the in-call DTMF tones) the sounds would be heard by the other party.
My questions:
1) Is this possible without modifying phone.apk (or what ever system .apk needed to gain access to the call stream)? Does it help if the device is rooted?
2) If not, is it at all possible? What would it take to achieve such an effect?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Need a solution too, looking into reflection.
This is rather old but I was wondering if there's any news? I searched for anything related to call, stream, DTMF etc. in XDA and everywhere else I could think of.
So far I found nothing. Is there really no way to send tones up the call stream?
I'm looking into the source code to see whether I can use some reflection, even just to see if it works. The best bet seems like CallManager..
It has 'SendDtmf' and 'StartDtmf' that automatically goes to the active call, gets the active phone from it and shoots up the tones.
HOWEVER I got stuck. Both methods keep returning false. Digging into it you see that both methods check whether there are any active calls before sending anything. So I tested it myself and here lies the issue - 'HasActiveFGCalls' (and HasActiveBgCalls too) returns false no matter what.
In fact, getting the full call list (getForegroundCalls) always gives me an empty list.
I tested it on my phone (SGS, CM7) and on the emulator on several versions. Same results - always no active calls regardless of whether the phone is in a call or not.
I'm at a loss here. Seems like this is as far as I can go with my knowledge at the moment.
So... anyone has any clue regarding this?
ReadItToMe Lite is now on the android market. For those who missed my other thread it is an app which reads out your incoming sms and calls automatically via bluetooth or a headset or even your phone speaker depending on what you prefer. It also translates txt speak so unlike other apps which find reading sms's (at least mine ) difficult.. with ReadItToMe btw becomes 'by the way' and lol becomes 'laugh out loud'.. as well as that you can add your own words so for example 'diff' could become different..
ReadItToMe Pro - Reply with your voice
If would like to be an alpha/beta tester for the pro version I have attatched it below. This adds the option after you receive a message to reply to or call that person back using your voice.
This is how it works atm:
1 - You receive a message, it may be read or not depending on your settings.
2 - You will then hear a beep (same beep as when you increase ringer volume)
3 - If you want to reply to the message you say 'reply' then your message, all in one go, without a pause.. ie 'reply thanks for testing my app'
- If you want to call that person you say 'call'
4 - If you don't say either call or reply it will do nothing.. if you do say either it will confirm with you your chosen action to which you say yes or no
There is a test button as well to test out the feature.. although obviously this will not send and sms or call anyone.. its just to test how it works/captures your voice etc..
As always feature requests or ideas on how you would prefer it to work are always welcome
Note - The auto data option will turn your data on to capture your voice and off afterwards. So if you are like me and always have data off you can still use this app. (Speech to text translation requires trranslation via google servers in case you didn't know, hence the need for data)
Known bugs:
- You may need to say yes or no twice to confirm your action
I'm installing now and am happy to be a tester...if you don't mind having a tester who doesn't know anything and can never figure anything out
Good Aplication
I'm not getting call announcements streamed through my bluetooth
But I do get incoming call information through the handeset speakerphone
I wonder if an option to disable the ringtone could/should be added so just the callers number/ name should be read instead of both since the ringtone and readittome read info is done over one another
Will gladly test the application and give you the feedback.
I'm just now getting to testing the reply system....here's what happens
1... I receive an sms and the application reads it to me
2...There is an audible beep and I say "reply"
3...I get asked if I want to reply
4...I say "yes"
5...there is another audible beep and I start speaking
6...the app tells me the message is sent
7...no message is sent afterwards
Feedback....
The app is awesome without the reply feature so please don't take anything as a complaint, I hope I can do a decent enough job explaining what occurs on my device clearly enough so as to not add confusion as you work on the application lol...
After I say "reply" and after I answer "yes", it would be nice if the application gave a notification to start speaking a reply, a beep would suffice, a voice instruction and a beep would be perfect....as it is now, I am never sure if my answering "yes" to confirm I want to send a reply is accepted by the application so I find myself saying "yes" twice and then start speaking my reply...I find myself listening for an acceptance to my answer of "yes" and then hesitating to speak my reply because I'm not sure my answer is accepted....maybe what I'd prefer (not that it matters haha)...is...
1...receive sms and it is read to me
2...a beep occurs and I say "reply"
3...the app asks if I'm sure and then a beep occurs
4...I answer "yes"
5...a beep occurs and the app says "reply after the beep"
6...a beep occurs and I know to start speaking
Another optional scenario could be ........
1...receive sms and it is read
2...the app says " if you would like to reply via sms say "reply", if you would like to call, say call...speak your selection after the beep"....and then a beep occurs....
3...the app acknowledges the selection and says "you have selected to reply via sms, please speak your reply after the beep"....OR...if "call" was selected the application could say "dialing now"
Just two cents from someone who doesn't know anything and can never figure anything out
I tested the call-back feature....it works ...........of course using it the first time I didn't exactly know what to expext so when propmpted I said "call" and when asked to confirm I just said "yes yes yes yes yes"....lol....and then...IT WORKED ...very nice

Thanks for that feedback, that's very useful.. One thing which I may not have explained properly in the 1st post, the reason no message is being sent is because the way it works is you hear the beep, you say reply and your message all in one go.. it will then say reply to x your message, is that correct? if you then say yes it will send your message.. atm as you are only saying reply it thinks you want to send a blank message hence nothing is sent as I disabled sending blank messages.. I'll try and clear that up in the original post..
As to how you'd like it to work my thinking was to have it available if you want and unnoticeable if you didn't.. so for example if you don't say reply or call it will do nothing, I personally didn't want it to ask what I wanted to do however if this is the consensus amongst you guys I can add that option in..
Also were you using it via the phones mic or bluetooth?
Again thanks for the feedback.. any other testers feedback would also be appreciated..
I used it via the device handset mic as you had already mentioned the headset wasnt operational yet.....I‘ll test it now and report back momentarily.....additionally, I‘ll say.....the way youve designed it makes it much more intuitive than being prompted by the application to confirm a users choice, which makes it faster to do something.....so now that we know how to use it, I say leave it like you designed it...
I tested it as you descibe, and voila!! Success ...I say "reply" and then speak my message, the app asks for confirmation and I answer "yes" and it sent succesfully...awesome, crazyfool...very nice ...it might help others to know that when the application speaks to confirm the selection, the user replies to the application before the next beep...meaning....
When the application asks a question, once the question is asked, it awaits a reply once it's done speaking...if the user hears a beep after the voice, the opportunity to reply has passed you by and the beep is your signal that you took too long to answer it
Crazyfool, what do you think about adding an option for the user to select whether certain characters are read or not... things like forward slashes and such
new version up.. it'll now yet you reply or call over bluetooth.. would appreciate it you guys could test this and see how it works for you..
as to excluding characters it is possible although I'm not sure where that would come in handy?

Do you have the music stream option checked? That's needed for most bluetooth devices

Could you tell me your setting and are you using speakerphone/headphones or bluetooth?
Also everyone whos having an issue could you ensure tts works on your phone. If you enter some txt speak and press read if nothing is read then the issue is not the sms or calls but the tts settings on your phone or the volume.
Thanks for this great app, been looking for this functionality for ages. Just wondering if this is somewhere where we can request enhancements.
I was thinking about having an option that lets you have a voice confirmation that you want the incoming SMS to be read aloud.
Works perfectly. Thanks so much for this.

Hmm.. personally I wouldn't want that but if enough people do then I can implement it.. however.. it got me thinking about maybe having a whitelist/blacklist ie if you don't want a certain persons sms to be read.. what do you think?

Hello everyone!
What I'm looking to do is really simple, a LOT of people are interested in these feature, however, no one has a clear solution.
There has been a lot of post about this subject but they are most old post and there's nothing help full.
Here is the problem - whenever I'm talking over the phone, I can play any music I like and I can hear it perfectly, but the other side cant hear anything! even if ill let the music play using the phone speaker - the other side is silent (witch is strange cause when the speaker play, the mic should transfer the sound and shouldn't "care" who is making it).
So after a lot of searching for apps and different ways, I found out something interesting.. If I make the call using an VOIP (skype, viber and so on) and Ill play music at the same time - THE OTHER SIDE CAN HEAR IT PERFECTLY!!! witch means the phone is fully capable of doing it.
What is going wrong when I'm using the cellular network instead of VOIP? is there a way around it?
Ive noticed some people don't get WHY would I want to do it.. well, I'm working using my phone (sales) and using the exact same pitch. I would like to be super lazy and play a recorded version of me, and when its done, be able to just keep talking to the person without him being able to notice the difference.
Since I'm doing it for work, I cant use VOIP for regular calling since Ill lose the option to use "Airdroid".
I'm using Nexus 4, Slimkat rom (4.4.4).
ANY help at all will be appreciated
