New Icon Please tell me what it is - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General

On my XDA 11 to the left of the signal strenght icon i oftern see a icon that looks like the handset symbile when the phone is making a call it has a circle above it with a cross in it.
you cant click on it, (ell you can but nothing happens) its only there for a fe seconds every now and then.
the book with the xda 11 shows this icon on a few pictures at the beging of the book, but under the icon descriptions the icon is not listed.
anyone got any ideas

sorry in my post above i have noticed my "w" key was sticking so please put a "w" in front of any word that dont make sence

I've noticed the same thing. HAve no idea what is is though...
Anyone? :roll:

thats the caller-id program icon bro
it just show up at start up and when u get a call..

LOL! Of course! Thanks!

But it is not working
the caller ID program isn't working for me anyone was able to get it to work ??????????

BTW, this ID programm is not working actually...

Also, I want to find the way to unistall it competely, but it's not listed :shock:

Mine sort of worked then it stops, but the little magic icon seems to pop up when it feels like it, the phone dose not have to ring, unless someone is trying to ring but the phone dose not actially ring.
think i also need to uninstall it

why would ANYone want to uninstall it?
did i forget to mention its a PICTURE caller id??
it will only work well if/when u assign pictures to each caller!
otherwise, u'll just get the same incomming call box.
i love mine!

I've tried, but when even previewing calller picture imate hangs. Buggy crap

i have the same problem, i have added a few pictures and it sort of works once or twice, and thats it..........

Let's go over there and help developers fix this problem

IT"S FIXED! GET THE UPDATE

Hi ID64 thanks for the link, but dose this install Arabic as well as fixing the problems. I am from the UK and using a o2 xda2
thanks
John

Well, in my case it didn't installed Arabic support, all you have to do is just disagree with EULA agreement and it will skip all installation of Arabic support.

i will download and try it, i will let you know how it goes
Thanks
John

Did this resolve the issue John, did it work?

Yes i can confirm that it works fine on my I-mate, the only problem is that you will have arabic insalled with it if you don't already have it. but the Called ID Works fine
Regards

Hmm I'll have to wait until O2 come up with a fix then, as I can't understand a word of arabic.
Then again it does work perfectly on my machine excepting that it swamps the nofity queue.

caller i.d sometimes doesn't show ?

Hi all, I've got a strange problem that I haven't found posted here before, sometimes, not always, when one of my contacts calls me the phone will display the number instead of the persons name.
Has anyone seen this before ? am I doing something daft ? and / or is there a way round this.
TIA
from what i understand sometimes it gets closed down and is automaticly restarted after awhile
showing that odd icon shortly
if you recieve a call while it's shut down then it dont display
If you have a problem and it doesn;t load, then go to /Windows folder find IA_Caller_exe make a shortcut to it and place it either in the Start menu folder, or the Star up folder (if itsn;t already there)...
When you see your problem hit the Start menou shortcut and it is once again reloaded...
It is not a solution, but still an answer to your problem...

lol this is very weird...today that problem fix itself...idk how... onestly...i call it comp magic yeah maby its 3rd software problem...who knows ill spot that next time when im gona do hard reset.
ty for trying to solf problem guys
I had similar probleem and it is ok now automatically. I guess this is a 3rd party program problemonly.

Is there any software which can do this?

Basically I am looking for some software which, on receipt of an SMS will initiate an outbound call to a number in the contact list on the phone.
something along the lines of :-
SMS received from 1-555-5555 containing the word CALLBACK and a password.
Phone then dials 1-555-4444 or any specific contact as defined in its config
it doesn't have to use the contact list but must be triggerable remotely.
Target device is a HTC Hermes. and possibly a StarTrk
The program doesn't need to be stealthy, it's to initiate the call with full permission from the owner but without intervention.
Partly it's for my grandfather, if I give him a Startrk then I want to be able to activate a call remotely if I get notified that he has triggered his medicalert system, so I can try to see if he is ok without him having to answer a call.
I googled, and found nothing, I'm hoping someone here can either write an app that can do what I need, or suggest a product that will enable me to do this.
Auto answer is too generic, I want it to be just for myself and not all callers, and the password is because there may be times I just want to send a generic SMS
Sounds like you are talking about an SMS Callback trigger, though I have never heard of a mobile based one.
I always seem to want the impossible or the unwritten maybe it's time one was written?

just unwritten, it's not impossible
pretty easy actually
i'll try to throw some together this week if/when I have the time
try this
Just place it on the phone and edit the config.ini if needed default settings are:
trigger = CALLBACK
password = pass
I tested this on my TyTn2, and it seems to do what you wanted, the program will activate the speaker when calling (can be changed in the config.ini)
this way if your grandfather cannot reach the phone he still be able to talk..
But test it before use, I'm not sure how sensitive the mic of the phone is.
I do like the idea so I'll probably add some more functionality
- auto pickup on call from fixed number
- status
- call/sms log
Let me know what you think.
PS. this was created for a touch screen device not a smart phone...
also I can not be held responsible for damages, phone bills etc.
but that goes without saying ..right
-=edit=-
tested by sending an SMS to myself, the program then called my number, but when i tried with a friends phone it didn't work
let me know if it works for you (if you have 2 phones)
also make sure if the number you send it from is in your phonebook or not (could be the issue)
-=edit=-
that is the issue, working on it
Issue solved
now I need to figure out how to replace the attachment
I'll add it in a new post
I also believe SKSchema can do this in watch mode. Actually SKSchema can do lots of cool things in watch mode.
new version attached
-=edit=-
build a cab, also added apptodate support
is it just me or does it seem to autodial the number that sent the SMS?
one addition would be the facility to set the option that if number X sent the SMS then callback to number Y
example - if I am in the US I will have the number 1-555-1234 but my grandfather is in the UK - +44-555-5555
I run a voip line with a UK DID number such as +44-555-6666 so when the SMS is received from 1-555-1234 the return call goes to the +44-555-6666 instead of the US Cellphone (cost reasons lol, UK landline free, international call of any length = US national debt)
Here is a SMS Trigger I built, do not know if that satisfy you.
Check rk-SMSSwitch under my signature.

Sorry, i just noticed this reply
To be honest i wasn't planning on creating one, but i could give it a shot
the biggest problem is i don't have a Smartphone to test it on..
I'm sure you could probably find a few testers in the forums, there's quite a lot of people on here!
I'll obviously be willing to test anything you are able to come up with. I don't know where you are located mr gee but on ebay UK you can buy an old Orange spv c500 (HTC Typhoon)or c600 (HTC Tornado I think) really cheap now. There are also WM6 roms available for these devices on this site somewhere.

I already checked eBay, and there might be some good ones but I don't want to overpay
I'll keep it in mind
Attached is the same program but compiled for a smartphone, I'm not sure if it will work, I remembered I have an emulator for smartphone installed, but I received an error message when running the exe.., I think because the CF.NET wasn't installed..
let me know
I tried it on my QTek 8500. The exe ran but all I got was a window with a blue background and the words "SMS2Call v. 0.03" in black.
No buttons to press or anything, had to use Task Manager to exit it. Which id did without complaint. Thanks for trying, some work may be needed I think

Currently that is the program
Could you try to edit the ini file?
in case you have 2 phones, add the number from the 2nd phone in the file
save and run the program
send an sms from the 2nd phone with the passcode mentioned in the ini file
your 1st phone should call this number after the SMS receipt
I know the program doesn't look like much but i might fix this in the future
when i do i'll also look at the exit button.
the reason i didn't was because the application was for an older person,
this person could be playing around with the phone accidentally closing the program ...
I looked in the .ini file and then tried sending a text to the phone containing the words CALLBACK PASS. I tried this with/without a space, up and lower case, with the program in the background or on screen but it didn't do anything. Do I have to put a shortcut in the Startup folder or something? Or am I not formatting the text message properly? The sending phone number is in the contacts list if that makes a difference.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Could you just not set his phone to auto answer ? - that way you can call him any time.

not really, assuming it works maybe it has to do with the formatting,
Callback should be in capitals and pass in lower letters.
when I tested this with my TYTN2 it worked the way it should.
also did you enter the default number ? e.g. the number that will be called?

[sarcasm]
Gee why didn't I think of that...
[/sarcasm]
Seriously have you read the thread?
the topic starter didn't want it this way for several reasons...
Default number and closed flip
I didn't enter a default number because I want it to respond to any number that sends the text. I deleted the DefaultNumber line from the config and it worked, to a point. The phone I'm running it on is a Qtek 8500/HTC StrTrk, which for those who don't know, is a flip phone. My problem is this, if the phone is closed when the text is received the call is made but cut off immediately because the phone is set to hang up calls on closing. Nowhere can I find a setting to stop this from happening, anybody have any ideas?

Hotfix HTC e-club

Hi,new patchs are available :
- Hot fix for resolving a display flicker of the title bar in TouchFLO 3D 2009-01-07
- Hot fix for improving the on-screen slider feature for answering calls 2009-01-07
this one?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=468399
the slide to answer hotfix already declared not only useless but also harming. see here the solution:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=468608
even the clowns at HTC realized that the fix is doing more damage than good and they "make it disappear".
hope nobody else jumped to install this fix (if it is still there). a short search before post is highly recommended, no matter how good yr intentions are.
Those seem to be new fixes, anyone tried them yet?
I just did a filecompare on the original file I still had and the new "_HTC Touch HD_TouchHD_display flicker.exe", they are identical.
I don't have the original _HTC Touch HD_Touch HD_SlidingAnswer.exe anymore so I can't check that, did HTC actually fix the bug in it?
Theres original 1/7 published fix if someone wants to compare it to version wich is on htc support now.
If you want i can make a clean install cab with all correct fixes incl. without the unnecc. reg entries incl. uninstall.
let me know if you want this.
for now. here are all relevant files from all 3 fixes as zip
!!PLS: but as you know, the "videocall button switch to call histroy bug" is there inside and isn't fixed !
These belongs to file:"phcanhtc.dll" !!
So my tip - copy all files (exclusive "phcanhtc.dll") to your windows dir and let me know how it works and if a cab for it is neccesary.

I actually like that feature never really did use the video calling feature
I can dial video phone
Yesterday, I installed the hot fix of "Hot fix for improving the on-screen slider feature for answering calls."
And I check the video call function, it's normal~
I didn't see "call history" on the left bottom. I also ask my friend to help to check it. His Blackstone is normal. We both can dail video phone.
Did I miss something or the HTC hot fix is fixed?
http://www.htc.com/europe/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=179&act=sd&cat=all
Yeap, HTC re-released a working version of the patch at the end of last week.
They have indeed fixed the hot fix. The one that's there now works fine. If you installed the old "fix" you can just install the new one on top of it - no need to uninstall
I've been trying to insyall the slider fix and it tells me I have the incorrect version. I just uninstalled the old version and installed the new fresh from the site. Any ideas?
