Answering machine

[yairlanz]

Hello

I wrote an answering machine program (mortscript) for WM5 but I encountered a strange problem, when a call is answered all sounds playing in my phone was silent.
Does anyone know a tweak how to disable the silent feature in WN5?

Thanks

Do you have a cab file program for WM6? really need this program !!!

[yairlanz]

NO, Not yet.
When it's done there will be no need of cab file, it is a very light script file.

The only problem I have now is that my greeting message can't be heard by the caller because, as I said all sounds are silent.

There are no other problems, the caller can leave his message as usual.
You can even determine the length of the recording.

I hate to disappoint you, but an answering machine can not be written for many WM based phones in native C, let alone using mortscript.

Ahh if it was only that easy...

When a call is answered the sound is routed differently to and from the phone on the OS / Hardware level and as far as we know short of faking a BT deriver there is no way to record from the phone or play sound to the person at the other end.

There have been a lot of discussion on this subject in the forum, please use google and search the forum for "answering machine".

Thanks for your answer.

I have searched this form and the internet for such software and encountered your answer – B U T - I have noticed that in my phone (ETEN X500) I HAVE NO PROBLEMS WITH RECORDING CONVERSATIONS - the caller and my voice, (I even wrote a recording script and assigned it to the record button).
The only problem with my answering machine is that after the device automatically answer the call, the caller can't hear my greeting message, actually no sound cab be played because when there is an incoming call, the device mutes all other sounds.after that I can record the caller voice with no problems.
BTW – If a song is playing and a call comes, the song mutes, but when the call end, the song voice comes again.
So I thought there must be a registry value that orders the device to mute all sounds when a call comes.

i know there are some tweaks (programs) ,only i cant remember wich ones... that will let you choose between muting sound/notification in call or just let it play. i think phone alarm from pocketmax.net has that option. and maybe i can come up with some others if you give some time.....at this moment i cant remember any .... but i will let you know. i know for sure that there are some options for this!!

Thanks man

That what i thought. There must be some tweak for it.

Looking forward to your reply

This is interesting. As I wrote in my answer the problem is with "many" not all WM based phones.

So far I only knew about one that came with a built in answering machine - the g-smart.
I assumed you had an HTC phone, but if ETENs have recording and playback capability during calls too this may be very interesting.

Unfortunately, I do not know of any specific tweak for what you ask, but check out Tweaks2k2 and Pocket hack master perhaps one of them will have it.

[yairlanz]

Thanks, but no luck in both of them.

Still looking for the desired tweak...
