Pocket PC / Diamond as Voice Gateway - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps

Simple question:
Is it possible to use my Diamond / Pocket Pc as Voice Gateway?
Is there a Software that allows me to call somebody on my Computer over my Diamond / Pocket PC plugged onto?

Does nobody has an answer for this thread?

Put your diamond beside your computer, call your friend, activate the speaker on the Diamond and speak while you use the computer in handsfree mode
Seriously, what's the point?

i think the idea is to use the diamond as an IP phone.
i don't think its possible, but who knows.

Surely using your Diamond as a modem then using Skype is the answer? Or am I just too boozed to see what you require?

You got it!
It is simple, I often do "business" calls, where I need to work on my computer, so I need free hands.
The other point is that I don't have a really good connection in my office, so I have always to get close to the window. So when I could put now my phone close to the window and use my Computer to call over the Diamond, that would be grate!
But I don't want any Bluetooth solutions.
Kkthx

How can I use Skype to call over my Diamond as a modem? That would be awsome!

No answer? that is too bad

Is there an Answer Machine Software for Imate!

Dears, is any one aware if there is an Answer Machine Software for imate?
That if some one calls u, the software will asnwer the call (at your voice) and the one who calls might leave his message.
The advantage of it, is if you are in a meeting, then the answer machine would say I am in a meeting, or if you are in a theater, it says, wait for a while on the line, I am on theater and will answer ur call in few seconds, and so on...
Is there such a software? if not, is it easy to make?
There is no such software and it is impossible to write it for any existing PocketPC Phone. Even for QTEK 9090.

Waw, sorry to ask, since you have good experience in programming, why it is impossible to have Answer Machine as a software in imate?
In the other hand, is is possible to develop a small program to show the Contact name in the SMS Confirmation instead of mobile number? this is also applied to SMS coming from system operator when your mobile is swtiched off showing phone numbers called u while your mobile is off, currently, only phone number is shown, not the contact number.

In general this is impossible because TAPI in WinCE 4.20 does not support a wave device. So you cannot in your program intercept and play sound that is going through a phone part. Additionally GSM in imate does not support voice modem AT-commands so it is not possible to make such a program even by direct communication with modem.

This is theoretically possible. I'm also interested in such program.
Thank you verymuch for your quick reply, will email you more details about this project today.
Take care.
I understand what program you are talking about, but currently I have no free time for coding.
Golden Sands, why don't you use the Voicemail service provided by Al Jawal?
It just occurred to me, having your own answering machine would relieve you of STC's voicemail costs.
Impossible? Since you can record the phone conversation manually, why could you not do it programmatically?
To my understanding it is not possible to record phone conversations even manually... how do u do that?
Tap the notes icon from the dialer and press the record button. It records both sides of the conversation. Very useful. Watch your encoding settings, as you could eat up memory fast. GSM 2k is fine for voice and very small.
works, but
not when using the bluetooth earplug connection.

You can record a conversation programmally like you record a normal sound. The only difference is that you have to open WaveIn only after the call is established. Otherwize you'll record silence. But you cannot play anything so that the other side would hear it -> so "answering" machine is impossible. Only non-interactive "listening" machine is possible.
As far as I know, you can't record but your own voice in a phone conversation. That is, you can record the incoming voice as long as the speaker volume is somewhat loud so the integrated microphone can pick it up (that's why it works best in speakerphone mode).
To prove that, try to record a conversation while using the handsfree headset (not the bluetooth but the wired headset) and you will see that only your voice will be recorded.
Sorry,
Rayan

Well, for me (as not a programmer) I was thinking it is possible, but "mamaich" explained why earlier. Mamaich, would you please explain why again in more details? to me, still guess it is possible.

Well, it is not about cost, although it might be a good idea to save some money! I do not like Asnwer Machine, I preffer sending SMS when some one is not available. But my idea originally is to develop an Answer Machine that asnwers your call if you are in Theater (Cinema), or Airplane before departing, or Conference, this message says (at your voice) "please wait on the line, I am getting out to answer your call" or something like that, and the other party will wait until you are able to answer him. I would suggest to call this as "Simi-Answer Machine". Here, the other party will not leave any message. How this sounds?
So, dear "mamaich", would it be possible to develop the "Simi-Answer Machine" that displays/run your voice until you are able to talk or answer the call? Of course, you need to press a button then to start talking with the other party.
Hope this sounds better!

This is probably true for XDAs (I have not tested) but in my previous Rover S1 aka Anextek SP230 both voices were recorded (I've checked that). Maybe this is a hardware limitation of XDA.

HP Jornada 928 has Answering Machine
Salam
As far as i know there's only one Pocket PC which is HP Jornada 928 which is running Microsoft PC 2002 Phone Edition has this feature.
here's a link for more information about the HP Jornada 928 http://www.pdagold.com/files/hardware/0000000128_SNAYN.pdf
i wonder if it works for HP Jornada 928 why it doens't work for other devices like XDA or i-mate.
if i have this device i would try to extract the software from the ROM and give it a try on my i-mate Pocket PC, maybe it will work who knows?
i would like to know who develop this software for HP Jornada 928, any clue is highly appreciated.
Thanks with best regards.
Othman
Dont think it will work unless the hardware is identical as the coding must be hardware specific methinks.

Salam Othman, You brought a good point here.
Well, I guess nothing is impossible.
Mamaich, do you think it is possible (after what Othman highlighted) to make at least the Simi-Answer Maching?

That's one of the few things Sprint PCS does right--the ability to tell a caller to hold on for a moment. It's done system-side though. I'd love the ability to do that when I'm on another call or in a place where I can't answer immediately.

Theoretically this can be made. But it would require reverse engeneering and modifying GSM firmware which would take lots of time.

MS Voice command; how to get it to work with standard headsetbutton??

Hi guys,
Today I've downloaded the Microsoft Voice Command from this topic. I really like the programme, but the only thing with it is, that I have to press and hold the call button, to get it to work. Now I would really love it when I can activate the program with the call button on my standard htc headset, so I can keep my phone in my pocket. Does anybody know how I can get this to work?
Thanks in advance,
B4kk3r

Any Working SIP Client on HD2 ?

Looking for a working sip client for HD2. Anyone knows any? and how to setup?
tried WM Voip pack. Cudnt get it to work. Also seems cant use with Sense UI.
thanks
anyone please
did u try portsip? works on HD tho...
Alll existing SIP's work but after a reboot a app crashes on startup but your select keyboard does become the default one
I've had success with both PortSIP and the WM client cab file in the following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401608&highlight=destr0+voip
Need to edit your dialplan with the cab file but otherwise both routes worked fine.

May I know what you did after installing the WM client?
Can you use it from the HTC Sense Dialer?
thanks
Yep, you can use it from the sense dialer.
You've to activate "internet calls" in "Settings > Personal > Phone" on the "internet" tab.
Then when you're connected to a WLAN, you can see in the dialer the name of the VoIP service you use.
So, when you make a call, it automatically use the SIP account defined in WM settings!
In fact, on my HD2, it works well, but the sound comes from the external speaker... that's a shame!
And I even tried to install audioroute, but then the volume is too low.
So, if you find a solution to this problem, this would be really nice to share it!
Good luck!

I don't know what the problem is. I had originally downloaded Audioreoute just in case as I expected the speaker problem from reading the threads... but no issue for me. I tried installing audioroute anyways and it had no effect.
Maybe another program getting in the way? I had mine set-up on a completely fresh install with no other apps.
Do you have the same problem using PortSIP? That worked for me pretty well also but doesn't handle incoming calls properly when the device is in standby.

Really the only way to check is to turn off Sense UI in the today screen options and check off the internet calling today item. Then from the home screen you can see the status of your internet phone connection.
Other option is to install something like second today with the same item checked so you can switch to that to monitor it.

I just updated my ROM to the official 1.66 (french), so I could install again the good .CAB file (destr0 voip), but the problem is still the same...
That's really annoying.
I tried with PortSIP: the sound come from the earpiece, but the voice is cut when I call somebody.
I guess I've to forget for VoIP...

Skype Mobile

Im not exactly sure how it ended up on my original build, i think i went to skype.com/m and just downloaded it, but when i do that now (with the new rom) it says "there's no version for your phone"
Is their a way i can get it installed again now that ive flashed a cooked rom? (as i don't see it already in the rom itself.)
As usual, i find the answer soon after making a post.

Problems with Skype mobile
On my phone sky mobile runs only thru loud speaker. Maybe it is a good thing that skype discontinued support for Windows Mobile, no one has to waste time on that crappy thing anymore. I always switch to desktop when I receive or have to make skype calls.
Go to Skype.com and download the .cab file.
can somebody upload the cab file here... skype site is blocked from here, but not the software service... having hardtime to download the cab...thanks in advance
you can still get it from here:

I was really hoping this thread would have said "Hey, skype isn't going through speakerphone anymore on the TP2..." but no such luck. If Skype had no intention of fixing that horrible issue, then I really have no interest in its service on my mobile, anyway. It is disappointing, however, I used to use it on my Blackjack II and it worked great.

But not by itself. You have to use Audioroute (http://www.teksoftco.com/index.php?section=freeware), this program will route any sound either to the earspeaker or backspeaker. Just start it before Skype and you'll be able to use it like doing a regular phonecall.

Thanks, it seems useful, but not really enough. Personally I like to leave Skype active as a second line on the phone... which means I'd have to manually start it before every call (even incoming). If I were to just start it up on occasion to make a call, it'd be an easy Mortscript, but I'll have to see if there is something a little more sophisticated that I can write.
i just used skype today on my TP2 with the sound piped to my bluetooth earpiece. no issue at all and no 3rd party software required

Thanks. Now the only problem is my ear will touch some certain onscreen buttons and get in the way and when I turn the screen off, skype phone conversation stops working. I know a simple earpiece or bluetooth device solves everything but I don't like using neither.
Is there any other way I can turn off the screen and still have a phone conversation on skype?

No way I have ever found. Without headphones Skype on WM uses speakerphone capabilities only. I waited for Skype to fix this and the way the finally fixed is to drop support for WM all together.
Use this. Just route all audio to main ear piece before you start skype

Skype Cab
I have an old beta cab which seems to work really well.. I use it all the time and have no problems... Guess it never got released. See if it works for you.
Skype
I love skype on my winmo, and have used it often. Audio Route IS the answer that i have found, and it does work great.
One issue with Audio Route, is the icon in the taskbar is affected by WIndows Mobile 6.5.5, and the icon shrinks to an almost unuseable state.
Are there any other options besides audio route for routing audio to the earpiece?
Thanks,
Brandon
Wow is this topic really that dead? I would think using skype on oUr windows mobile is still one of the better claims to fame.
So does anyone know of an audio route device that pays well with 6.5.x?
Sent from my MSM using XDA App
skype?
Hi, i use idialer for googlevoice calls:

works pretty well (need to update your webview.dll file if you have a newer (6.5) rom. But it works for google voice. not sure if it would work with gtalk/skype
