I'm really amazed about what a great application "Wise Talk" is. Gigabyte's phones use it and it's something dead useful. I own an HTC P3600. Does anyone knows if there's any chance to get a .cab with that app for WM6 or WM5? anyone interested in developement?
Why would someone want to camouflage their background noise, sounds like the perfect tool to cheat on your girlfriend and lie to your boss with, but other than thats whats so good about it?
errr....

Seriously......
Maybe you have a perfect life in a very quiet little town somewhere, with no traffic, no loud obnoxious Kids or commuters. A girlfriend that doesnt care where you go or what you do and a boss that you never need to lie to.
Congratulations. You are a rare and must be a happy individual.
For the rest of us RATS in this RACE tools like this can be handy
(You must be a farmer )
LOL! upon your rather harsh post, I re:googled Wise talk, it appears I went to a badly translated website that explained wise talk as a software that add's sound effects to your conversation to effectively set a sound scape into it...
from this I'm sure you can see my initial confusion to the point of this software...
Apologies!
hehehe
No worries Bro,
I didnt mean to sound so HARSH!!! :{}
Actually being able to set a sound scape could be a fun little tool........
I would like to sound like I am in the middle of a Battle or underwater, maybe make it sound like I am on a train platform with announcements being made in the background......
The possiblities are ENDleSS!!!!
I think you just created an idea for a cool app
but i guess it's super if your mistress is a screamer too
This has been discussed on the forum many times:
Gigabyte phones have a feature that is fairly unique in Windows Mobile world and certainly absent from all HTC phones:
3rd party applications can access the phone sound pathways.
These apps are specific to Gigabyte and will not work on our phones. Unfortunately this is also why there is no answering machine software at this time.
Do you know where I can find a cab to install wise talk???
thanks
I have an argue with my friend who can't accept that multitasking is something which people need. He has an iPhone and I have a HTC TD2, I told him there are 100 reasons why multitasking is better and that iPhone is far behind because it can only run 1 process at the time.
Could you guys provide me with some reason WHY multitasking is good or better than just running 1 process at the time?
Enjoying music when navigating.
Push mail
Apps running in background open faster
online sync while playing games for example.
That sort of thing.

I actually took up most of these things and also the fact that you can talk to someone on the phone and go OUTSIDE the dialer and navigate to like email, messages and notes (very important for me) but what he says is this:
You can run music in background and use other programs at the same time.
Who the **** needs to go out of the dialer? Are you retarded? You can just say to the guy you're talking to that you will call him in 2 secs.
But that's exactly what you don't wanna do..

holy...
is that déjà-vu? exactly led this kind of kind of discussion with a collegue (quite bright otherwise) and listened to it between him and another of my colleagues
believe me, it's absolutely useless to discuss: any argument you lead will be smashed irrelevant of how reasonable it is
my personal opinion changed after that: it's got to be something like a general attitude in certain people who are at the same time (or for this reason?) mysteriously attracted to the iphone
spare your energy and leave them alone in their tiny little linear world, it's self inflicted imprisonment anyway; if they don't want to see the light, leave them in the dark

Haha, that's amazing But you're right, it's useless to argue because it could go on forever and they will never realise the truth.
Ask him to listen to Internet radio and surf the Internet at the same time.
Ask him to listen to the Internet and use a music identifier program to find out the name and singer if that nice song.
Ask him to download a movie then while waiting for it to complete listen to his iPod music.
BTW iPod can and does multitasking the stock programs. It also run the stock program in the background and one third party program in the foreground. It just does not allow third party program to run in the background. Unless he jailbreaks or use OS 4.0.

it's not impossible with a lot of radio stations on the iPhone w/o jailbreaking - see section "1.2.1 Playing in the background" in my dedicated article at http://www.iphonelife.com/blog/87/e...need-know-about-listening-radio-iphone-part-i .
Note that both ooTunes and Pocket Tunes have received background playback capabilities in the meantime.
Tell him that multitasking is good because Steve Job's has added it to iPhone OS 4 (don't bother trying to explain the limits and conditions that come with it, you might give me a brain tumor).
That ought to change his world view real quick.

Strictly speaking you're right. I was just saying that in general it is the case. My own Internet radio has this feature too without jailbreak, but most of them can't do it without jailbreak.
Great article you've written there.
The human brain can in general only focus on two tasks at a time.
Same would go for the device.
You do not want a phone that while you are talking to somebody
1. also plays music
2. and is also providing turn-by-turn voice navigation
3. is reading your incoming text messages
4. announcing your appointments
Multi tasking only makes sense when the task themselves make sense to be done together.
Instant Messenger Programs
some program just end the connections when switch to other apps, causing you to log off from the server.

I would say that the human brain can only really focus on one task at a time. We are terrible at multitasking despite protests to the contrary by some.
If I am reading a web page while listening to music, it is very unlikely that I am actually paying attention to the song or its lyrics. The same goes vice versa.
There is what we are currently focused on, and then there is background noise. If we try to split our attention, we usually end up doing both tasks less well.
Thus multitasking on computers is not usually about allowing us to do two things at once, it is about not shutting down or halting one task when we briefly switch our attention to another.
For many situations, simply suspending the operation of of a program until it regains focus is sufficient. But there are always, always exceptions where having the option of true multitasking will save a lot of headaches and frustrations. Usually this involves cases where the computer needs to maintain a persistent connection to a server such as for IM, SSH, etc.
The scenarios you mentioned all involve background apps interfering with the in-call speaker. This is easily solved by simply giving the phone "app" exclusive use of the external audio while a call is in session.

Actually I'd find that very useful.
If I'm going for a long journey to somewhere new, I'll have my blackstone bluetoothed to my radio, giving directions from tomtom while either playing music from the storage card or internet radio. It's also recieving emails in the background. Reading out texts would be a boon as it would mean I'd not have to hit the home button, then read the text, then drop back to tomtom (which was merrily running in the background).
Similarly if I need to pull over and take a call, look up information in one of the notes and send an email after cutting and pasting that information, then drop back to tomtom without having to wait for it to find the gps signal again.
Today I had to phone the tax office, so switched from the dialer to notes to give them the reference number and take down any info they gave me. If I couldn't do that, I'd have to write the information on my hand or carry around a notebook and pen all the time.

Not disputing that at all. Users can't watch a video and use TomTom at the same time.
It makes sense that VOIP could continue to receive call in the background. Or download to continue in the background. Or GPS position tracking to continue if you havev to receive that call and when the call is finished your gps should be showing you at where you are without having to start it all over again. Or music, radio, podcast must be allowed to continue while reading an ebook or surf the net. These activities could go together for most users without distractions.

Ambitivity allows you to mix and match 15 high-quality ambient noises to create a relaxing background noise of your choice, and drown out any unwanted noises. It aids work, relaxation, and sleep, and can be highly effective if you allow it to be.
You can find it here: https:// play.google. com/store/apps/details?id=com.appsent.ambitivity (remove spaces)
I originally made this app for myself to aid in working on other apps, but I figured other people could use it, too. I'd be ecstatic if you gave it a try!
Thank you!
sounds good to me (literally....)
but, the settings are not coming up, no matter what I do or how I hold the phone/
is there a way to save a certain setup?
like the source combination & the loudness of each source?
other than that, not a bad start!
I try this before but became crazy so I try once more, this time not breaking rules.
I made install MHA-L29C567B181 Beta on my phone, and now my phone is with Alexa. Please do not ask how to install.
I think "wow this is very cool" but what can I do with Alexa? Is anyone Alexa user? I want to understand what is new capabilities. I guess this is to control 'smart home' mostly?
So far I notice Alexa can read news story, and answer general question, like math question, weather, trivia, or similar. Alexa so far does not play music. Maybe I need to install Amazon's music. Also Alexa does not send message or send email.
Anyway I hear many people looking forward to this. So what is it possible to do now I have alexa?
I also installed it. It's a beta which is why I think it doesn't do very much. Yet. It's certainly not as smart as Google assistant IMHO. But there are other changes in this ROM such as 10x zoom and I think fixes for many bugs like Bluetooth.
Alexa on the phone can do whatever skills you give her, or whatever your Alexa at home is set up to do. So, for example, mine can control my lights, change the thermostat, start up Sonos, tell me the status of the pool heat, the alarm, etc. Her AI skills are not as good as Google Assistant yet, but her integrations are far more developed.
Granted, if you don't set up additional skills, she's fairly limited compared to Google Assistant.
Good afternoon,
I am deaf, a big fan on the XDA website. It has always helped me with all Android smartphone problems. I learned about root, custom rom and others.
These days I received a video about an iPhone's Sound Recognition function and I was amazed.
IOS 14 feature is capable of recognizing sirens and fire alerts and other sounds
I don't hear anything and with this function it would be perfect on Android that would help me and would also help a lot of people who are deaf.
Is there an application that does this?
