Sending text message after refusing call?

Hi,
this is not strictly Kaiser specific I guess.
I recall sometime ago seeing a feature which looked useful. When somebody calls you and lets say you are busy, meeting or driving etc.
You get a prompt to refuse the call and at the same time send a pre-defined text message back to them straight away.
So they get put through to your voicemail and also recieve a text from you to say "Sorry I'm in a meeting, will get back to you ASAP" . Is this a WM 2005+ feature?
Also another one
Is it possible to only send your caller id to people that are in your contacts list when making calls? Anybody else does not see your number?
Thought I saw that one on my old XDA iis?
Thanks
Mike

the text msg one seems useful. what if they are calling from a landline and not mobile like with most businesses? will the sms bounce back to you and says unable to send or something? just curious.

Well I seem to recall it was up to you what you did with the call, ie based on the number ringing . In the uk at least its possible to spot a mobile number easily.
I seem to think a small menu came up with several choices.

i don't know if this app will help. I've never used it but ran across it a few weeks ago.

I bet something like this could be down with MortScript... I'll research it, i've been wanting to get into MortScript, this would be a perfect test.

There are several apps (commercial ones) that do this. PhotoContacts Pro does it. And I think a couple of other phone utils do also (SPB or VITO may make one, don't remember).

Yes that looks very much like it.
I was sure it was part of WM already. Must have got it wrong.
Thanks, I'll check it out when I get my WM device soon!

Call Firewall
I'm using call firewall, it's a great app imo....

Photo Contact Pro has a reject/auto SMS feature. As for caller ID, My Kaiser has the following function. Go to phone, Menu tab, Options, Services, highlite Caller ID & press get settings. It then allows me the option to:
1. Send ID to everyone
2. Send ID to contacts only
3. Do not send ID
Maybe this is AT&T specific, but thought I'd throw it out there.

Only thing with ''call firewall'' is that when you are on a call if a call comes in it disconnect both the call your on and the one coming in... my experience.

There is also Magicall that does this:

Insert Contact Info with Text

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I can't seem to find the answer using the search engine. I've been playing around with the TILT while texting and I don't seem to see an option where you can insert contact information. This seems highly unlikely with such a high class phone so I'm sure I'm missing something somewhere. Is it insert vCard? When I try to do that it tries to connect to 3G and I don't want to be charged the data fee.

??? May need to clarify a little more??
I am not sure I fully understand your question. Are you saying that you don't see where to put the name or number of the person whom you want to send a text to? Also please advise what ROM you are running. I am sure everyone here can help you get it figured out. Good Luck, Kevin

I'm gussing that you want to send a vcard to someone.
Go to the contacts up, and select the contact you want to send.
The open the menu (right softkey) and select Send Contact->SMS\MMS
The reason why it is connecting to 3G might be that it is being sent as an mms (which needs a data connection), probably because it conatins a photo.

I think you mean where you insert the number of the contact. When you go to NEW SMS, then you tap on To:...... This then brings up the Contat app and you select whoever you want to text to. You can also use the D-Pad to do this.

I think I know what jwu222 means; when you're writing an SMS to someone, and you want to just drop in a number of a contact for them to use, it's commonplace on many other phones to hit menu > insert number or something to that effect, and voila, your SMS now reads:
"Hey man, here's <person>'s number, +4402blargh333" with no vCard BS.
There did seem to be an option back on windows mobile 6 to do this, and it didn't work or do anything (for me at least.) Upgrading to 6.1 has given me the ability to go Menu > Insert > vCard, bit this is not ideal as this changes it from an SMS (hence trying to connect to 3G) as well as trashing your message so the feature is still lacking.

CrArc has got exactly what I was talking about, sorry for the late response. So there isn't a way to do it like the simple phones huh?

Here ya go. Insert Contacts.
It integrates itself into the menu button while writing a text. It then brings up a crude version of your contacts list and you can choose the number to be inserted into the sms you are composing.
Try not to have too much fun with it!

thanks a lot for all your help that was exactly what i was looking for

Sorry, but the link to download it for free is broken at that site. Try here

SMS/Mail confirmation alert

Just got a new diamond here in Tokyo connected the Softbank network.
It seems whenever I send out an email via Outlook/SMS/S! Mail(Service that allows SMS-like mail to be sent to regular email accounts or other cellphone providers...most people use it here in Japan) I get a "Your mail has been successfully sent" email confirmation everytime I send out a mail. For someone who uses all three services frequently, it tends to get a little annoying
I've downloaded many tweaks and modification applications for the diamond but it seems I'm still not able to find the workaround...
Does anyone know the cure for this or is this a known problem?

This little quirk bothers me too because I want to hit send and then lock the device; unfortunately, when I hit send and lock the device I get a bunch of notifications and the device unlocks itself and random uttones get pressed as its in my pocket.
It may be best to load a WWE rom and sort out the smail using mmslite. Getting JP input working however is another issue.
For the problem with the notifications in softbank's arcsoft mail app, I wonder if there is a registry fix we can do.

solution for successful sent notification(at least for text)
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-diamondpro-tweak.html
Go to messages, and disable text messages notifications.

Kevbodian, mjz147,
Thanks, I really appriciate your quick response!!
I checked out that Diamond tweak app and its one hell of an applicaiton!
It seems though, when I disabled the text message notification and soft reset, im still getting those alerts after sending MMS/SMS emails.
Is there something wrong with my device or I may have to do some manual modifications via registry? :\

Tried to just disable em in Windows?
Start/Messaging/Menu/Tools/Options/SMS MMS
There you can disable notifications. Atleast for SMS messages for me it works.

I guess I have bad luck when it comes to disabling notification via Windows.
Unlike the US version, my phone doesnt have just one central location for mail but two (Outlook application - used for PC email & SoftBank Mail - used for SMS and MMS...)
So when I looked under the option menu in Outlook tools, I wasnt able to find any SMS/MMS options...
Im sure theres a registry hack that can be used...im not so sure why the diamond tweak app could apply changes to everything except the "turn off notifications" option though...

Was anyone able to solve this issue?

Did you guys try Advanced Config v3.3?
It has a section devoted to messages tweaks.
It does have a tweak that disables notifications.

I currently have 3.3 installed and have used it to disable/enable many features on my Diamond. But it seems after I disable the 'SMS delivery notification' and 'SMS sent notification" fields (and soft reboot), it is still showing the sent notifications after sms/s!mail is sent...
As Kevbodian was saying, maybe there is a special reg hack that needs to be done under softbank's arcsoft mail app.

could somebody figure out what change is made when that notification is turned off and turn this into a cab file? the only thing that bothers me is the sound. i dont mind the bubble or the little icon on the top telling me that my sms is sent. thanks

this one is simple and right to the point install it and it doesnt give you the message, you dont have tons of menus to navigate through just that install
also i am simply reposting this app i did not develop it or design it credit goes where credit is due

so this turns off the sound AND the notifications also? thanks

yep no sound and no pop up message after sending one
i hope it helps

almost tempted to figure out how cab files work (arent they just reg edits?) and maybe try to see if i can change it myself. i like having the notifications (bubble and little icon on the top) but the sound can be annoying at times,
Edit1: also i just installed advanced config 3.3 and the notification thing works for me.
Edit2: also search "kraiser tweak" and you will find it has settings for this. a lot of settings actually for just the thing you are talking about. now we just need to find the edits in the registry because i dont really like having 2 configuration programs on my phone. (advance config, and kraiser tweak)
Edit3: ok i found this on the wiki....Disable SMS Sent Notification
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings] Set SMSNoSentMsg to 1
.....so does this mean if it was changed to a 2,3,or 4 that would change the action of it? im really trying to look into this.....if you cant tell haha

CallBlocker

Very nice, I've been looking for an app like this for a while now. Just input a # you don't want to receive calls from and it will be blocked. Requires root, though.
Sure, you can use the built in "Send to Voice Mail" feature in Contacts, but that's not a good solution because 1) It clogs up my voice mail inbox and 2) I get an almost as annoying text notification every time someone that I have chosen to send to VM tries to call me.
The app is still pretty new, so it's lacking a few features I would like (such as regexp patterns), and I'm not sure it'll block text messages as well (which would be nice), but it's definitely a very good start.

market://search?q=pname:com.ap.CallBlocker

I just downloaded it gonna start putting number in it. Do you know if you can use it to block unknown numbers?

I haven't actually tried blocking my home phone in it to try it out for myself, but supposedly what this app does is to send the caller directly to voice mail, just like the feature that's already available to us in the default contacts app. That's not quite what I'm looking for, as that means I will still get those annoying notifications and the voice mail inbox will (might) get clogged up.
Perhaps what I'm looking for is just not possible, but simply put I want an app that interceps an incoming call/text, cross-refs it against a black list, and if it's a match - mimics a red phone button press (decline)/refuse the text message - all within a few milliseconds. It would also be nice if it stopped the number from getting logged in the call log.

I'm pretty sure that what this application does is to receive the phone call (it may do half a ring) and immediately answer it and hang up. This should avoid the problem of sending it to voicemail.

i have been talking to the dev since release, the callers do NOT go to voicemail so it won't clog your voicemail manny.
also it cannot be used to block Unknown numbers so fo that you would need to write your app(i am trying but it is very hard to do when you don't know exactly what you are doing). but the dev claims that if you put in 1800 in the block box then it will block ALL 1800 numbers that call you. seems pretty good but i haven't been able to test it yet(crazy ex might have finally gotten the hint)
EDIT!! as soon as i posted this i got an update on it and now you are able to choose between unknown numbers or blacklisted numbers, i suggested checkboxes to select both, as well as text message block, but i am not sure how possible that would be

Really? I use the built in feature and I don't get a text when someone on my blocked list calls. It will show up in the call log but I don't get a text or notification unless they leave a VM.

where can i download? please?

I decided to start developing my own version..

^^^That is cool let us know, I am willing to test it. The developer has stopped updating this app.

Good to hear your making a new app. This one bugged me as it wouldnt block 1-800 type numbers..

Yes!
Joey3002 Please post it when completed. I cant find the other app anywhere. If you take paypal donations, I will send some $ after you post it. Thank You!

Anyone out there get invited to google voice yet?

i've been waiting and waiting and FINALLY got my invitation today, and i'm loving it. For anyone out there that wants to save on text messages,who actually has been invited, i'd suggest this (to keep this somewhat kaiser related) go to www.google.com/voice and simply log in, once you've done so...just make it your home page. that way anytime u want to see if you have any sms messages, all u have to do is hit the internet explorer hard key, and it'll open right up to your sms inbox.
by the way, i've heard that android mobile app is fully functional, and either iphone/blackberry are in the worlds, or on the way. but has anyone who knows about goovoice heard anything about a winmo app? it'd be nice to have an app in the background which always notifies you of new text messages/voicemails etc.

Yeah, I got my invite a while ago. I'm having a hard time getting used to it. It seems like a lot of work, and I've only really got 2 phone numbers. Not to mention, there isn't a Windows Mobile application yet.

i'm only using 1 number right now to be honest (no one calls me at my house number) but the voicemail transcribing and sms, call screening are things that i know i'm going to enjoy with this.
