AutoAnswer for XDA IIi (WM 2003SE, phone ed.)

[AGico]

When I had a smart (Nokia 6600), used answering machine "Smart Answer".
Now PDA XDA IIi (WM 2003SE).
It is necessary for me, that the program " Hangs Up " at an entering call, reproduced the text, and finished conversation.
Who can help me to find such program?

[mamaich]

answering machine is absolutely impossible on your device

[AGico]

why impossible for this device?

try doing a search for answering mashine or something why it's not possible with wm pda phones is described many times in the forum

Probably, there are answering machines which work by such principle?:
it is necessary for me only, that:
-phone automatically " Hangs Up " (well if would be possible to set an autorespond by the certain quantity of hooters)
-... And through certain time (5-6min) - " finished conversation "

Can someone tell me about it?

I think he means he just wants to controll the answering and hanging up. Thats relitively simple.

I am working on something now that will have that functionality incorporated in its settings. I can't give a definite time but if you dont find anything else try here again in a couple of months.

Very well! I am very glad, that there are people who can really help.
I with impatience shall wait on the program as in a network I can not find such with similar functions.
If it will be necessary to pay your diligence, I shall be glad to help!

All the same can somebody help me?

Dear OdeeanRDeathshead,
how at you business with programming the program are?

[OdeeanRDeathshead]

Sorry, but I just can't understand that :lol: .

If you want my progress then.... What I am doing dose something else as its main thing, so that will take a while. For me the auto hangup is more of a safegaurd against never hanging up which would be expensive. I have read your posts again and it just becomes more un-clear. (No offence but) Please get someone to help you ask more clearly what you want and I may be able to add it in my product.

Thanks for so prompt replies!
Means, if it is possible, I shall describe procedure for what the program with such functions is necessary to me:
I live in Ukraine. As a matter of fact we have two largest operators of cellular communication who are monopolists. I, being the subscriber at both, use their services. The first operator - Ukraine Mobile Communication (UMC), the second Kyivstar.
At first operator UMC at me a subscription is unlimited (it the company in which I work pays), that is I talk, not worrying about spent time.
And the second package deal - at operator Kyivstar. My children use them.
Kyivstar represents such kind of services - as a payment of money for my account for entrance calls, that is to me pay money that someone dials my number and talks. But me charge money...
And so, it is necessary for me, that I could dial the number from time to time Kyivstar from the unlimited UMC, and for it to me will charge money for my account.
And for automation of process as to have to dial the number automatically each 5 minutes, and accordingly, it is necessary for someone to lift a tube(Hang Up) on other end, and the program for autorise is necessary to me.
That is it is necessary, that on XDA IIi the program at an entering call automatically accepted a call, and through set time (5-6 minutes) - laid down a tube(Hang Down).
Earlier when at the daughter was Nokia 6600, there were no problems (used Smart Answer). But now, when to it is necessary for work with PDA, I do not find programs in which there are such functions.

It is necessary:
The program on PDA at an entrance call automatically lifted a tube(hangup), and through the set time interval finished conversation.


In advance I am sorry for my bad English.

OdeeanRDeathshead,

Do You add this function to your product?

[OdeeanRDeathshead]

I am still having a little trouble clearly understanding. Here is what it seems like....
either:
1)you want a program to answer a call then some time later hang up.
or
2)you just want a program to hang up calls after 5 minutes.
or
3)you want two programs, 1 to dial every 5 minutes and one to answer then hang up after 5 minutes.(at different ends)

Well I spent a couple of hours tonight modifying some stuff to help with some of this. I did two versions
version 1.
http://odeean.veritel.com.au/ORDTapiUser/ORDcallKill.exe
will just hang up automatically after just under 5 minutes (280000 milliseconds actually).
version 2.
http://odeean.veritel.com.au/ORDTapiUser/ORDcallKill2.exe
will wait 8 seconds then answer the call. It will then wait about 5 minutes then hang up.

These have NO interface. When you run them there will be no ongoing sign that they are there. Please remember that you may only run one of these at a time. The coding is just the bare bones of what was needed to do its thing, if you run it twice it will not check if it is running and a second instance will go. This will give unpredictable results. To stop them you must soft reset your device. Sorry about that, but I just did not want to spend much time on this. when you run them a warning will pop up followed by a message asking what device to use, only press yes to the phone (normally cellular line).

I have tested these and they work for me. I would like to know if they work for you. The version that dose not auto accept a call but still hangs it up relies on a strange behaviour in tapi on ppc that in my opinion is a bug. For this reason the life of this code may be short (i have not tested it on wm2005 and do not expect it to work on it. I dose work with previous versions).

If you want a program to do the auto dialling it is easy enough, but I did not want to spend time making a gui and I was still a bit unclear on what you want anyway.
