PTT as real walkie talkie - no internet needed - General Questions and Answers

Hi to all,
i bought a blackview 6000, endowed with a PTT button.
I would like to use that key as a real walkie talkie, without the need of internet connection and that uses radio channel/fm waves instead of the web, so that it would also be compatiblie with normal (analogic?) walkie talkie.
Is it possibile? is already there an app that does this?
On the phone box there's a QR that redirects to the app Zello, but it need to be online, unfortunately
thanks in advance for any sort of help
Have a nice day

There are phones which have this hardware built in, runbo x5 etc, but I do not think the BV6000 has got this hardware built into it. I'm 99% sure of this as I did quite a bit of research and thought about buying one.
Without the UHF hardware, you are chasing a ghost. Zello and other apps are all you can hope for.

A2DP Bluetooth Profile for existing MS BT stack?

Hello there!
I was seriously thinking about buying myself one of those Bluetooth stereo headsets. Unfortunately they need the A2DP Profile which isn't included in our present MS BT stack.
I have read a lot in this forum about transferring the Broadcomm/Widcomm stack - a guy even offered 200$ on success. Yet so far no success.
Now I was wondering if it would not be easier to add that profile to the existing stack somehow? By "somehow" I mean that I am not a programmer and havbe no clue how to do so on my own.
Any suggestions or help?
Cheers, <))><
Hey Guys!
At least a simple "No" or some reply would be nice. I can't imagine that I am the only one who looks for something like that
Well I just tried to find a thread for you over at Howard Forums but was not successful. Go over there there is a poster named "whtrbt7" he seems to know a bit on this subject.
Basically I believe the short answer is no.
I think we are a year or so away from getting true full stereo audio via A2DP Profile.
I'm no expert on this subject, but I believe there needs to be more consistance and control within the BT industry as a whole.
i just posted this link in another thread but maybe its useful to you:
http://www.send2press.com/newswire/2005-03-0311-002.shtml
iWALTZ enables multimedia mobile phones using MS Smartphone(R) and MS Pocket-PC Phone(R)-Edition to stream music over Bluetooth, seamlessly switch between music and voice calls, and display rich media related information on wireless accessories.
"Mobile phones are transforming to be the next generation multimedia devices," said K.Srikrishna, CEO of Impulsesoft. "iWALTZ enables this transformation by delivering an integrated Bluetooth audio experience and significantly reducing time to market for mobile phone OEMs. Impulsesoft is working with multiple mobile phone OEMs to deploy iWALTZ in their products that are launching in the first half of 2005."

Maybe soon we we are able to get a2dp working on the magicians

Cheers for the answer! I hope so too. Just installed the newest Widcomm Soft on my PC in order to give it "More Power" (Tim Allen from Home Improvement). Now I can't wait to make A2DP work somehow on our Magicians. It would be like Star Trek :wink:

GPS Software

Hey guys,
Looking for a bit of advice, I have been searching for a bit of GPS software which will track and record info. I have TomTom for my navigation but what I am looking for is something that will track distance traveled/max speed/average speed and that kinda thing. Just looking to use it when I am on my mountian bike or snowboard to see what speeds and stuff I am hitting.
Not had any joy finding anything yet but I'm sure someone has come across some software like that!
Cheers
Have you tried gps dash at http://wimobi.com/gpsdash/overview.ppc2.php
This is the kind of thing I am after, does anyone know of a free app like this?
Cheers
I'm currently reviewing Vito ActiveTrace, which will also provide similar functionality.
http://www.vitotechnology.com/en/products/activetrace.html
The vito products seem generally good, although I'll let you know if my hardware goes up in smoke.
A really poor man's way to do this would be to just use something like VisualGPS (I think) or any GPS app that has logging capability.
This will squirt out the GPS data as you move, and that can probably be loaded into a PC app for "playback" and analysis.
V
Ive tried them all, Navio, Pathaway, Beeline, GPS Tuner and countless others that I can't remember. I found the best by a mile was GPS Dash, all the others had some feature missing or something I didn't like.
thanks for the replys guys, looks like I have a few to check out over the weekend.

IM Clients for the Rapheal

I was reading in the kaiser and diamond threads about Im clients an was wondering which one people would recommend but also I am overseas a lot and travel quite a bit with my job and was wondering if there is an IM client out there that utilizes the front facing camera for chats? I ask this because searching has gotten me no where.
thanks in advance for any help

well actually... there's one client that uses the front camera:
ever heard of Netmeeting? it existed way before msn and yahoo.. at that time we (only) had mirc and ICQ those were the days..
anyways microsoft made a netmeeting client por ppc which uses the camera.. never tried it, tho. and the software only works by connecting to an ILS server (much like netmeeting). if you've never heard of Netmeeting, just go to Star->Run-> Conf.exe
about the ppc client.. you can _try_ here: http://research.microsoft.com/~jiangli/portrait/

yups, I use Smaper (formerly known as mChat by mGSLab.com)
http://smape.com/smaperfiles/wm/smaper106w_pe.cab
It's not easy to find the file (or even the description) on smape.com; but with babelfish and some russian translating it's fine (the program is not russian, it's multilanguage)
still waiting for the devs to get filetransfer working again (used to work until june or so, mgslab.com server is routed to smape now) but everything else is fine (ICQ, AIM, jabber, MMP, MSN...)
EDIT:
www.mgslab.com is rerouted, http://pda.mgslab.com/files.html and http://pda.mgslab.com still working. smaper 1.06 is the newer one though, it's an improvement over mchat 2.3.0.x
just my five cents hth

Tks for the link. When I click on it; it diverted to http://research.microsoft.com/mcom/portrait/ AND Microsoft Portrait doesn't work on Kaiser http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=387327
this is one of the things that rly angry me in the wmob world.
had that idea long ago when i bough my magician: we had gprs (33.6k baud was more then enough), we had a built-in camera, we have im applications, how cool was to webcam mobily?
and now after 3 years microsoft didnt even cared to pull a wrapper for the phone camera(s).
care to know why not? THE CARRIES! that way they couldnt pull out the astronomicall but lucrative rates on video-calling.
f*ck the exploited capitalism. america has to pay now
i use slick and it works pretty well also free
trying them out
i am trying all the ones that you guys said you like and i looked up aim and got AIM mobile but whenever i try to connect i get " Connectivity error 12029"
and i dont think my wifi is working correctly.. any pointers
qip.ru has a WM client that supports ICQ und Jabber. Im using it on ICQ and Google-Talk. Very stable an no other Problems, even if running for more than one day over GPRS.
ICQ
If you want ICQ-only client,Pigeon is the best on Raphael. I have tried any others,but they have problems playing sound notifications.
Pigeon fulfills all my requests on ICQ client perfectly:
- History in textfile and fast to read back
- Vibration and sound notifications working
- Easy and fast to use
- Nice design with cool smileys
Don't forget to prove whether you client stores some data on the client's provider server! Agile Mobile and Palringo both use a web gateway to connect to Jabber or ICQ. In both cases all your massages and passwords travel through foreign servers. This isn't really nice.
QIP 2040 works really fine on both ICQ und Jabber, and there aren't any problems with notification, vibration etc. And it directly connects to ICQ und Jabber-Server. So there is some privacy!

Are you sure,QIP2040 is playing sounds correctly while in standby? My not.
Sorry for all,I forgot to write,that sound notifications won't play in standby(instead of Pigeon).
Yes, but I've disabled this cause of this anoying Uhoooh It still vibrates.
IM with video
Yo guys, still a bit confused here. Is there or isn't there a mobile IM application that let's you make mobile videocalls to MSN or Skype users?
No. See post #3, 8 and 9.
Pigeon! problems with Vibration
I just installed Pigeon on my Vario IV and everything's working perfect- besides notification with vibration. The sounds work perfectly...
Does anyone no what the problem is?
Do I have to mark both vibration modes or just one?
When I just pick one nothing happens.
Thanks for helping...

I've always used IM+ (not free) but had a chance to try Beejive and I vote for Beejive plus it's free.

Offline voice recognition

Is there an application that is similar to Google's voice actions application, but offline, for when I don't have service?

did you find the application? i know there is one, but i cant find it now. been searching for almost an hour! if you find it pls pm me
Voice command was the selling point to me and I was really shocked to know it required internet connection to work..Do I really need internet to say “”hey Galaxy..call wife mobile” ???? This is ridicules GOOGLE.
Such a nice device and very $$$$$ and they screw up like that
Vlingo
Hello girls and boys,
Like you, I was yesterday looking for this frantically as I have just got an Android device as my work mobile and have an old Windows Mobile 6.5 phone (Touch Pro2) as my personal mobile which runs Microsoft Voice Command 1.6 and can do quite a bit without needing to touch the handset (illegal whilst driving in the UK). I have to say; I was finding it difficult to believe that with all the awesome power of a Desire S when compared to the TP2, why is it I can't find an offline voice command application? Google's Actions are great yes, but does it REALLY need server side processing for these commands? I then came across a forum where someone suggested Vlingo and no-one really acknowledged the post. What a great app! Totally free, works with bluetooth headsets and actually does speech to text as well WITHOUT needing to be online.
I suggest you guys take a look as it seems to be a great piece of software that's pretty well written. http://www.vlingo.com

You can try my app. It works offline. Application is named VoiceButton. You can find it in GooglePlay.

[Q] How to activate voice commands?

Hi everybody,
I am new to this forum and I have hesitated for a long time before I signed up. The reason for my hesitation: I didn't want to start off crying for help. Nevertheless here I am. After about a week of searching the www I thought what the heck. That is the purpose of a forum, share knowledge.
I am a (German) retiree living for many years in El Salvador, I’m old but because of my curiosity I feel quite comfortable with modern technology. I have installed and configured Garmin Mobile XT (which I found on the web while looking for answers ) and it works perfectly.
For about 10 years I have been a customer of TIGO (Millicom) and never got anything for free from them. So I decided to ask for something and I got a free Phone (he who doesn’t cry, doesn’t suckle ). It’s a Samsung SGH-i637, non-touch-screen, in your neck of the woods known as Jack (internet wisdom) and distributed by AT&T and with a certain keyboard layout (AT&T button).
The OS is WIN Mobile 6.1 Standard and I want to use voice commands. Every lead I found refers to that particular button to activate that option. Now, my phone doesn’t have that button, it has the Windows Live Messenger button instead which, surprise surprise, takes me to Windows Live Messenger. Some people said to look in Start-Settings-System. No such thing in my phone either.
Just as I have surfed the net for days I have done the same of all the menus in my phone.
Now my questions:
How to access that option?
Does WIN Mobile 6.1 support that option?
Do I have to upgrade to WIN Mobile 6.5?
Is an upgrade recommended? (Pros/Cons)
I really hope that some merciful soul can take this burden off my shoulders.
