[App] Advanced Network Caller ID v.5 (updated StandAlone GUI)

[GoodGets]

version .5 is out now- see the changelog at the bottom for more details.

This is a neat little app that lets you find out more about the person that just called you or sent you an sms. Read more about it on the developer's xda thread here. It waits until after the phone call is done (or ignored) then connects to the internet to find out more information about the call. Although it is in early alpha, it still works pretty well. Now works with all WM resolutions.


Soft Reset after install.
WM 5 or 6/6.1
.NET 3.5 is required





The following was taken from the devloper's xda thread:

it's basically an enhanced Caller ID. On incoming SMS or phone calls a window pops up that displays,


- The full name of caller
- Address of caller with a map link
- The number of FTC and caller complaints (to tell if it’s a spam call)
- Telco name and location (can tell what carrier the call is from)
- Relatives of caller (with age!)
- Criminal History

I've also added the ability to add the caller to the contacts book, return the call, and look at past calls. A standalone GUI to run alone and lookup past calls can also be used.

I've only tested and ran this on the HTC Touch Pro and it works well, even for unknown cellular calls. It's kind of crazy the information you can get.

Looking for suggestions, changes, additions - definitely let me know and I will happily (and quickly) add them. You can reach me at kwatkins@gmail.com

Release Notes --

- NetCallerID waits until the call is answered or finished before doing the network calls. For the most part, the network connection is unavailable until the phone call is ended.
- If roaming is enabled NetCallerID waits until your out of roaming.
- All history of calls are in the program files\netcallerid\calllogs directory in html format. You can view these with Opera or Pocket IE.
- The setup automatically starts the program. I also put it in \Windows\Startup to start when you re-start the phone.


This is very alpha. Pre alpha even. I'm not liable for anything, run at your own risk, etc etc etc

Changes for v .5

- extended API.
- updated GUI
- better support for all wm platforms
- numerous bug fixes

Changes for v .4

- UI changes to work on all WM phones and resolutions (including QVGA 320x320)

Changes for v .3

- Added logic to the add to contacts where if name is in address book prompt/don't add.
- A full standalone app has been added where you can lookup past calls.
- Added the program to the programs list.
- Numerous bug fixes
- SMS is now turned off by default. Some people were getting Very.Bad results where SMS messages were being swallowed. I *think* it should be fixed but unsure, it's something in the SMS .net interception library. If you really want SMS turn it on under config, do a soft reset, and if you see your not getting SMS messages immed. uninstall and let me know!
- added whitepages.com lookups

I don't know if anyone else checked this out, but it didn't seem to install right for me. When installing i received the unexpected error has occurred. "File or assembly name 'OpenNETCF, Version=2.3.0.20, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=E60DBEA84BB431B7', or one of its dependencies, was not found" Also when installing it i lost being able to click on tf3d's text message to pull up the single message. If anyone else wants to uninstall, if you can't stop the process, delete the shortcut in the startup menu in the windows folder, restart then uninstall with the remove program.

Program sounds interesting though if any one gets it to work.

Reading through the xda thread, .NET 3.5 is a must
I accidentally left it out of the op, my apologies.
I'll go back and add it.

I don't know about that. Albeit some cell data may be off, like if someone recently switched numbers or something. But it is a neat little app, and I can see this becoming quite useful.

Thats kinda scary...I dont want everyone I call having my address....

[Unknown Zone]

well I can tell you the data base is only as good as what is inputted into it.....I tried it out and was off on the "Carrier"...my GF is on Sprint and it said Verizon.

I can see it helpfull if the call is coming from a landline...but from a cell the info is pretty much useless.

my guess is thats becae the call connected via a verizon tower...sometimes when i try to call *2 and things like that ill get a verizon error saying the code is invalid, yet im on sprint.. then ill check,and its not like im roaming or anything...

Im gonna venture an educated guess here and say her number was probobaly a verizon number that was at some point ported to sprint (not necessarily by her) back in the days before number portability certain prefixes were " Owned" by diferrent providers for exaple 971-222-**** was always a T(bag)-mobile number where as 503-774-**** was always a sprint number
nowadays number portability has made the matter much more complex

As for this app its a neat Idea but it is slower than my roomates last date....
and lacks features that will hopefully be adressed in future updates

IE Only check a specific number once and create a DB entry for it so that it can remeber the information it has already looked up... and perhaps an app interface rather than using a web browser

IDK anyway hope that sheds some light on the number thing

I find that the display when it pops up is very very small and hard to read.

sounds great, going to try this on my pro tonight.
