[APP][Updated 16.10] CallerUtility (look up unknown caller) - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps

Greetings!
Just finished a working version of my new little neat utility which looks up an unknown caller (number among your contacts) with the norwegian service GuleSider.no (yellow pages directory service) and a page called telefonterror.no (lists known telemarketeers in Norway).
When there's a call from an unknown caller the program looks up in both directories and displays the information on top of the HTC-Answer-incoming-call-application.
The program will auto-start on boot and auto-appear when a call is made. As of 16.10 the program supports AppToDate and will be automatically updated by using this.
Please try it out, give me some feedback and buy me a cup of coffee if you like it

Great Idea, would you be able to make it for the US?

Sure, if you got a phone directory service which is easily available by doing simple http requests.
It's just to swap the HTML-parser with a new one...

cool app! could you add this directory: tel.search.ch (Switzerland) that would be great! also does this consume alot of traffic?

Fella what are you saying here.... If someone calls me with their number hidden this software would tell me what number they are dialing from....?

Ah, sorry: If you get an incoming call, and the number is not in yout contacts-list, this app will look it up using some kind of directory service (like gulesider).
I'll try to refine my first description

Probably if it is possible to extract the needed values from the HTML.
Regarding the datatraffic I just did a test for the gulesider query and the response was of 28Kb so it shouldn't put too big a hole in your wallet!

Hehe, actually I skimmed through an article about Kevin Mittnick and unscrambling numbers recently, I stopped reading when I saw "Mittnick" and "xx thousand USD worth of equipment". So AFAIK it is not possible.

hi will it work in sweden

Excellent idea!
Any chance - when you get chance of course - of a version/configuration for the UK?
*patiently waits*

This is another request for US numbers, also could you post the file that needs to edited for the http search or explain how to edit or how it works.

this is a very good utility any chance for uk version

For the netherlands it would be:
http://www.nummerzoeker.com/index.php
Can you please made this possible?
Thank you

Is it possible to help with USA #, we would appreciate!
Thank You!

Okey fellow developer guys (gals?):
I separated the HTML-parser from the from the project and to its own DLL.
If you would like to "contribute for your country" download the HtmlParserPlugin.zip, unzip and open in visual studio!
All the methods are static, so to make a test project you can just call the LookUpNumber with different types of numbers. If you need to format the number before sending it to the directory service use the StripNumberPrefix-method. Remember to check all outcomes, what if number is unknown to service, wrongly formatted etc etc.
If you only want to use one service just remove the calls to the second one from LookUpNumber.
You probably (not tested by me) can swap the DLL you're generating with the one in the application folder on your device, restart the app and hopefully it will work with your new parser Atleast that's the plan!
If you're satisfied with your own work, send your new DLL to me along with the source code and I will build a country specific version

Ah, great
Hopefully a dev will pickup the dutch-part.
*patiently waits*

Hei Audiophil.
Great idea. I havenĀ“t got any idea how to make a version for the danish market.
But this provider http://www.krak.dk/ has a pretty good search engine.

[new release] VJSMSSender Class 0 SMS

Guys, this is just to fill a request on my website
It is used to send a Class 0 SMS. It's used in exactly the same way as VJSMSSender from VJPhoneTools.
Class 0 SMS, for those who don't know, is an SMS that is sent directly to the recipient's phone and will appear immediately on the screen, without requiring the recipient to go into the Inbox. Also, the SMS is not saved in the inbox, so there is no trace of it on the phone.
Great for illicit affairs!
Please use it responsibily, I don't know if there are any special rules about Class 0 SMS, but if there are any objections I'll remove it.
Check it out on my website
V
Hi Vijay,
another fine release.. )))
THANX mate.
How you do them all ??? ))))
BTW, why would you remove it from your website?? Flash SMS is perfectly legal AFAIK.
THANX

I'm sure it is legal, but it's quite scary how it works! I love it, I'll be freaking out all of my friends... oh, what friends :shock: too much programming!

Yes that would be a great idea if it could be done.
vijay555 is this possible ?
TraumaTiger
Hum, how do i run this app? command line how? Can someone explain thanks.
q-biq:
download and install VJPhoneTools
http://www.vijay555.com/index.php?Releases:VJPhoneTools
and check out the page for instructions on how to use VJSMSSender.
Then, the class 0 prog works in exactly the same way as VJSMSSender.
Use GSFinder etc to make appropriate shortcuts, or use a today launcher like cLaunch etc.
TraumaTiger/Chatty: I think I could write an SMS spoofer, but I don't think it's wise. I will try to write it anyway for the fun of it (!) and tell you if it works...
V
oh koool. workin great, but do i need to change the shortcut evry time i need to send to a new phonenumber? takes to long time hehe..
and how have you created the icons on the top so i can send from there?
Once again..
VJ its possible to send to more than one recipient at the same time ?
thank you
q-biq: yep, the shortcut needs to be changed each time. It's more for use on a today screen: it was requested that you could eg send a msg to your wife on the way home with no key presses etc. VJSMS still requires you to press send, while VJSMSSender sends it straight off, so yes, it has to be manually configures each time.
More that that and it would have to work like a replacement for the inbox, and that's not what it's for (right now! perhaps in the future).
fcaeiro: no, I'm afraid VJSMSSender doesn't have a CC feature. I could try to look into it a some point, but I haven't thought about it right now...too busy coding other stuff! :shock:
V
It's definately possible to spoof the sender ID - Siemens S25 tools offered it already (if you remember that old handset).
can you explain howto spoof id??
SMS ID spoofing is easy enough in theory. I will try to write it, and if it works, I'll take feedback on whether it deserves releasing. But let me write it first

Foll. are the features:
1. Category Wise Contact Pickup
2. Individual Contact Pickup made easy
3. works with WM5 and WM6.
4. Seems to be moderately paced as it is written using managed code but does the job well.
5. It is free.
PREREQUISITES:
.NET Compact framework 2
download here :
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...6b-356b-4a2c-857c-e62f50ae9a55&displaylang=en

the message appear:ERROR
"this application requires a newer version of Microsoft NET Compact Framework than the version installed on the device."!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:confused:
Nice app - well done. Works just fine on my artemis, cheers
Hi Shailesh,
This is certainly a very nice and extremely useful app for WM devices.
I've tested it briefly on my WM5 Herald and it works great. I do have a few minor bug reports and feature suggestions for your next version:
1. When contacts belong to multiple custom groups, it lists the same group twice with a space before the group name. So if some contacts are in the group called Ping and others are in the group called Pong and yet others are in both groups, it will list "Ping", "Pong" and " Ping" and " Pong"
2. Could you possibly add a context menu for the text editor where you do Cut/Copy/Paste rather than the Paste from Clipboard button?
3. In the final screen, if you press Back, it takes you right back to the first text entry screen rather than just one screen back.
Will test and give you any further inputs soon.
Thank you for the excellent app that you've given to the community for free!

Hey thanks for pointing out the bug SayMobile,
#1. I have fixed the bug as pointed out

#3. It have purposely kept it that way
Please download the new cab from the first page.

Looking for an app - area code

One thing I miss from a "normal" cell phone is when I get a call from a person that is not in my phone it would display the state the call was originating from based on the area code. My Mogul does not do this... when a call is incoming from a non-contact, it just displays the phone number and doesn't tell me the state... are there any settings or apps that I can load that would enable this functionality?
Thanks in advance.
dgambler,
The easiest thing to do would be to Google the area code. I have Google Mobile set as my Internet Explorer home page, so it's easy to just jump to that screen, enter an area code and BAM! the first listing from the search will be the info for that Area Code!
Hope that helps!
Matt
Just go into the phone and type the # (or any # w/ that area code) and it shows you the state in the drop down box

That's what I normally do now, but was hoping to have something that would actually show the state as the call was coming in... I have customers all over the US and they aren't always in my contacts (as they are calling from a "generic" officer # that isn't there direct line)... it's just helpful knowing where the call is coming from as it is incoming.
I've been searching for the same thing, and I have ony found 1, un fortunately you have to pay for it before you can try it. If I don't find anything else soon, I hope it is worth the 14.95. I don't mind paying, but I would like to test it first
~~
Link: Handango
Also Here: Author
~~
Yep, that's basically what I'm looking for... it looks like it just monitors the incoming calls and does a quick lookup.
For the life of me, I can't figure out why M$ didn't include this in the phone to begin with.
You can try CityID (i remember trying it on my 6700)
Here's a link to PPCGeeks thread about it. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=1295&highlight=cityID
It looks like there hasn't been an update to the application recently. It's worth a try though..
well before i did the 2.23 update, i used to get the state from the area code, but now after the upgrade i do not get it, any ideas would be great
I'm a little curious as to what happened to the company and program, thier website disappeared and thier program dropped off handango, the day after i bought it.

Mines woking fine, but i didn't get the update, If you could post the updated database, I'll give it a try.
BTW I wanted it to start automatically and run in the background, can't think of why they didn't put this option in the actual program.
Here's the MortScript to make that happen:
Run("\Program Files\AreaCode\AreaCode.exe")
Waitfor("Area Code", 10)
Minimize("Area Code")
Run("\Application Data\SCLPC++\SCLPC++.exe")

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?

Click to collapse
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.

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.

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

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?

Could you just not set his phone to auto answer ? - that way you can call him any time.

Gee why didn't I think of that...

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?

Caller Location Info for pocket PC

I'm a newbie in winmo development. Here is my first contribution.
This application only works for mobile numbers in India -- sorry I dont have information for other countries.
This application displays the service provider and the location to which the caller (on incoming call) or callee (on outgoing calls) belongs.
This app should work on any phone running WinMo 5 or above. I've tested it only on my ASUS p320.
How To:
After installation just click on the shortcut from Programs. That's it. I've purposely not installed the shortcut in Startup folder to give full-control to the user to choose whether or not to run the app.
Sadly, there is easy no way to exit the app other than rebooting your phone - if you have applications like process explorer, you can terminate the process at your will.
Hope you will enjoy this app!
Man, if you can get this to work with numbers from other countries, this would be one hell of an app.
good work done by you its appreciated
Great Work Man

I had written a similar app for my previous phone on Linux. Based on request from others I tried figuring out if such a info exists for other countries. But apparently, it looks like not many countries have a numbering scheme like India where it is possible to figure out the location,service provider from the mobile number. Infact in the US, I read that a new numbering scheme allows the subscriber to retain the mobile number across service providers. So I am afraid if this would be possible at all for other countries . In India these numbers and their mappings are published and that's how the numbers are allotted to the service providers.
Damn that sucks to hear.
its nice app..thnx dude

Yes in Germany it's the same. You can take your mobile number (f.e. Vodafone) with you and use it by another service provider (f.e. T-Mobile).
For the US, we can at least match area code to state.
thanks, but am not sure if the same caller calls from other state will be identified by that states name....if it does, its gonna be wonderful

No it will not work. Even if the caller roams in another state/circle, his number remains the same. So my app will still show his original location -- it is not possible to figure out the current location of the caller.
i found bug here in my elfin all outgoing call show oprater an state but incoming calls not shown. how it work
sorry bad english
so if you u cant show while roaming....whats the use of this software...coz if u can easily find out with the number...which state it belongs to.anyway i appreciate the effort took 2 make the software...n im expecting many more...thanx....
actually im looking 4 software...with that i can findout the exact location of the caller...i mean by calling i want 2 no 4m where exactly is he callin.like in google map it shows my location..bt the same way i want calling persons locaton also...is their any sw associated with that?if so it wl b apprecaited...
Will try it and feedback, thanks bro.

It is not mentally easy to remember hundreds of mappings between numbers and service providers and location.. if you are smart enough to remember all those, you are free to do that -- this is for those like me who cant remember.
It is not possible technically to find out the "current" location of the caller.. that info is not available at all. Had it been available it would be a privacy breach. Google maps finds the location based on "your" cell phone tower. I bet (as of today in India atleast) there can be no software which can find the caller's "current" location.
hey great work dude......

If you have any other software that interprets and handles the incoming calls (like full screen caller id), my app may not work. It works based on the built-in incoming call window.
i know that it is available in india...coz i saw some add regarding that...i think it is samsung...not sure abt that..bt im sure that some1 is providing that also...
