http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424923
Original developer is Sveinung Bakken, his app is called CallerUtility.
As I was saying... since I'm not very familiar with WM6 dev and/or the various languages, I used the source code he posted that reacts on incoming calls/SMS and outgoing calls... I then removed all code related to doing the online database lookups (since Sprint won't let us do that during a call -- can't do voice and data simultaneously) and instead coded the app to parse out the area code of the incoming/outgoing communication and do a lookup in our registry (key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\PHONE\AreaCode).
To summarize: When you make or receive a call (or receive an SMS) from a caller that's not in your contacts, the app will look up the area code and display the state the call is coming from/going to on your screen.
Please test this out and let me know if it works ok (all my tests so far have been successful)... I'm always open to comments/complaints/etc, so feel free to give any feedback.
Thanks!!
(FYI - This app installs to directory \Program Files\AreaCodeUtility\ and adds shortcuts to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ and to \Windows\Startup\)
Edit: Looks like this may require WM6 and .NET 3.5... not 100% sure yet. Would like WM5 users to test, one reports good results.  |
