Good morning, it's my first post so please be gentle. I use an XDA2 issued by the office and an XDA2mini as my personal mobile. When attending meetings I sometimes forget to mute my phone. Is there an application that mutes the device and if there is can this be assigned to one of the buttons?
Thank you.

Welcome to XDA-Devlopers
Think you might find pzp will solve your problem.
Here is a VERY long thread on the subject, might just want to go to his site and read about it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=6162
Gee you sure weren't kidding about it being a VERY long thread; all 169 pages of them
Thank you for the response I guess I have some reading to do tonight. I wonder if this functions to something like a TV remote controller where you simply press the Mute button and the volume is gone.

No its a an application that lets you set phone profiles that will aloow you to define how the phone will react in a given place.
As In, if you have set the proile to office it will mute your incoming calls if you have a meeting found at that time in your calander.
Like I said go to his site and read the functions, his support is great and at EURO 5 its great.
PS do you have a xda2 or a xda2s as I think you could be in the wrong forum, check the picture of your device on the forum index page. If this is the case I will move your camera post.
And don't forget, If you forget to activate the profiles and you get a call in the middle of something, just slide the Volume slider up or down, and it will mute this one call.
Hi MDAIIIUser; I checked the box and it said XDA2S. It's also black in color and has a slide down keyboard.
Hi bosjo; I already tried the application and it works splendidly. I guess my Nokia is going to go to charity.

Anyone been able to work a fix for this? WM 6 would underline numbers in received e-mail, calendar etc etc one could dial the numbers directly from within the mail?
The paste function has also been removed from the dialpad
ROM 1.37.421.3
This thread has an interesting solution.

this is bugging me bigtime!
im going try change the phone skin to the old wm6 version with advanced config, seeing as the function was there before on older phones then it should work here too.
can someone provide a solution??
The same problem for me.
I realized that when you have the status opened (it opens while you are talking) in the menu you have the paste option... but it is useless.
I also want to paste some numbers in the phone to call them... it is very annoying not to have this option (sometimes I need to copy also some numbers from internet pages... but now it is impossible!!!).
Can someone help?!?
Thnx.

Hi Surur,
Good one thx for the link, i think this was a serious oversight from MS, this is the one reason i would chuck the phone.
So far i have enjoyed the phone, i think it works well, but as i said its virtually useless if you cant paste numbers on the dialpad.
This limitation is really annoying me now; and still, a month down the line it's the only unforgivable problem I have with this otherwise fantastic little phone.
I was hoping it was a simple oversight, and would have been fixed by now. Has any of the later ROMs addressed the issue? If not, has anyone came up with a solution, or at least a realistic work around that doesn't involve pen and paper?
for over 3 years i am using a dialer "contact breeze".
the dialer himself is also of value but i am reinstalling it each time only for this tweak. long press anywhere in a meeting or task and it will offer any of the telephone numbers in it. no need of any other spaces, tlf:, etc. just type the number and it will be offered for dialing after a long press. the prog cost a few $. it worth it!
Thanks, sounds like a usable work around, I'll check it out.
Still hoping for a real solution though... Anyone?

Yes. Anyone?
I was wondering if there is a program out there that would randomly select a new ring tone as calls come in, or if someone knows how to write one? I have alot of great rings but hate having indiviual rings for people or being stuck with one at a time. Thanks for the help
if you do a search through google you should be able to find it... one i had found is called "call surprise" see if that will work for you!
Thanks for the info, I am installing it know and will let you know.
I know this reply is long overdue but thats call suprise was exactly what I was looking 4
whats the name of the program?
I found the program but i can`t install it.
The hone says it can`t recognize the file
Are you running "Call Surprise.CAB" from your phone's file explorer? Make sure you downloaded the right file; it installed fine here.
idea
hi eckstei4
your query seems innovative in a way, but would not such programme confuse you... everytime you hear a ringtone you will think its you!! so maybe if some would write the programme could set a parameter for vibrate too in association with the programme... would that be a valid request.

Ohh.. i tryed to install some other app, But that did not work..
The installation of call surpriser vent ok, But now i can`t start it because I need a newer version of .NET compact framework. but when i try to update windows it does not find any updates
You know the lady voice that announces when the battery is almost dead, when you get a text message and reads it to you and all the other stuff...is there any way to change that text to speech voice to a different female voice? I know there are several other voices that are available but not sure how it would be changed on wm 6.1
First off, what app is doing that for you?
huh???!!

Are you sure your using a diamond for that? I have used a diamond for months now and have not discovered that feature!! please provide further details as to what device you have and which country bought in etc.
interesting....
I think I know what he's talking about, which is he has MS Voice Command installed.
As far as I know, it isn't possible to change the voices on MSVC but if anyone can prove me wrong please do, as I'd love a different set of voices as well

He's talking about Voice Commander. When you receive an email / sms you can run it and say 'Read SMS' or 'Read Email' and it will read any unread emails /sms
Very handy, esp. when driving
I would also love to know how to change the voice though

Come on now, of course I know what freakin' phone I'm using. That's like asking someone if they know what kind of car they drive and if they are sure about it.
Here's what you do to enable it:
Settings>Voice Command>
Check 'Enabled'
Check 'Messaging', 'Status' & 'Phone' boxes
The go to 'Notifications' and check 'Announce notifications through device speaker or wired headset only'
[/LIST]
Those directions above will read out loud the person calling you when you get a call, the person who sent you a SMS and what the SMS says, will read to you any email including the sender and subject line, but not the email and will also notify you when your battery is gonna die.
Trust me, it's a major attention-getter when your phone reads a text message to you when it comes in and people around you are like wtf was that. Plus it's great if you are lying in bed or something and your phone is across the room...you can hear what the message says and whether or not it's worth getting out of bed for. :-D
But anyway, if anyone knows how to change the voice please respond. Thanks!
Voice Command isn't installed on all Diamonds as standard and as I stated, there is no way to change the voices, I have searched for this myself before with no luck.
cool!

This sounds like an excellent app! I tried locating it on my UK O2 spec diamond and could not find so if anyone has got a cab file please post. I will search google now and i'm sure i'll find it and post if no-one beats me to it.
Man i'm learning new sh!t about my phone everyday. Cheers guys i know i have not answered your question but you have helped me finding something new
nice one!
pretty sure you cant change the voice but i know there's a registry tweak to slow the voice down witch makes it easier to understand. I've just remembered I'm sure there's the tweak in Advance config hope this helps
yeah i have this enabled on my phone and its the best when your laying in bed and wonder if its worth looking at. I do wish it was a more sexier voice like sigourney weaver from planet earth, and a little slower would be nice. IT came stock on my sprint diamond fyi, im surprised other versions dont have it
I have a sprint diamond and mines only talks when someone sends me a text message marked urgent and thats it. I have all the tabs checked on VC in the settings menu. am I missing somthing?

You don't have it setup correctly, that's why.
Go into Voice Command and do this:
- Check all the boxes you want to use this service. (Phone, Messaging, Status, Etc.)
- Highlight 'Messaging' then click on 'Options' button then UNCHECK 'High Priority Messages Only' and CHECK 'Announce New Messages'. Do the same steps for others like 'Phone' and 'Status' to change it's options. Make sure you highlight it first.

Hey I was wondering, is it possible or is there a current one out there that can do this. I normally keep my phone on vibrate. However would be nice for select contacts to have the ringer turn itself on and be loud so I can make SURE I know to answer the phone at work if I hear my G1, while everything else I can easily miss or ignore.
Same with select text msgs from contacts. Is there anything like this or even possible? Thanks. =)
Would use , would buy if worked great.
My suggestion meantime.
Get or make an mp3 sound file..1 second long , recording of nothing would do. Set that as universal ringtone. Then individuals you want to hear from give them "real" ringtones. Set all rings to "ring and vibrate"
Should work with sms as well although you may need seperate sms prog (chompsms)
Ok Ill give that a try for now, cause yea at work I dont care to answer everyone, but a select few I dont wanna miss at all. Just never good to have your phone always ring when its for someone you dont need to answer.
I would pay for a good app too. =)
also you can try out the app CallWall .. its made exactly for that reason
Call blockers are nice and so, however Ive yet to see one work great. Ill try it tho in hopes that it DOES work well. BUT still the REQ remains since there are calls I wouldnt want blocked, but I would just ignore while I am at work, whereas couple calls I would WANNA make sure I notice.

you can set it to just MUTE calls also!!
also i asked him if he can implement that feature (where it blocks all but a select few) so hopefully he adds that soon
but for now you can just add everyone you want to be in the 'ignore' group to a contact group and then set that filter in the program and set it to only mute
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
Cool I will play with it and see how it works out. Ill report back if there is something missing, but if what you say is true, thats a good start.
It works all with Locale - now also with individual notification-settings
