What about for numbers in your contact list?

The only other one I remember was one where it required you to disable the HTC dialer. It would be helpful if you post links instead of just mentioning that there are others already out there.

People in your contact list will not cause this app to pop up (it's assumed that, since you have them in your contact list, you don't need to know what state their number is from). Would also be pretty annoying to have this pop up every time you make a call (in my opinion).

To clarify, people in your contact list will have their info show up on your caller ID as usual, this app will NOT create a pop-up.

quick question:

Will this area code database work for canada as well? This would be a nice feature for my diamond.

Also, if I have a dialer skin installed, will they interfer with each other?

Thanks

<EDITED>: Didn't realize other area codes were included, see my post below. Canada will work.


This shouldn't interfere with dialer skins at all, as it's a standalone app that gets triggered based on incoming/outgoing communications.

That said, if you were to add new String values in that same key (HKLM/Software/HTC/PHONE/AreaCode) with Name = 3-digit area code and String = area, it should read it with no problem.

If you could point me to a website or listing of area codes to areas, I could probably get that set up in a reg file ready for import... I'll do some looking around on my own as well, maybe I can build my own listing of area codes, etc, to cover more places if I have time.

I was wrong! Looking at the reg file, it DOES have Canadian area codes. Should be all good!

It shouldn't be too hard to modify the .reg file to make this a little more specific, instead of just showing the state.

ie. 415 isn't the entire state of California, it's mainly just San Francisco & Marin Counties. (see http://www.bennetyee.org/ucsd-pages/area.html or several other lists)

My question is, how will this app handle all the extra text? Would it be hard to modify the app to show both the state and area descriptions on separate lines?
