True Caller ID
 

You can see who calls you! In case of Windows Mobile phones, one can make programs that are more tightly integrated with the operating system - so program can subscribe for example to incoming calls and handle them properly. In this case: the program is searching the Internet and even if given phone number is not in your local phone book, you can get information about the caller!

Short description from the developer:

Below is a list of supported countries.

Some info:

• gets name/adress of unknown caller/sms:er
• can handle manual searches too
• can save info to contacts
• displays a small log of ID:s
• can be hidden into the background and then displayed again by pulling the stylus out

Man, this sounds great. Too bad I don't have a data plan. >.< Nice find anyways.

Re: True Caller ID
 

Too bad the US is not supported

Re: True Caller ID
 

:) USA is now Supported!! as of a few days ago.
New Version 1.10 just became available.
See post #1 for the Link.

Built in Reverse Directory Look Up works really nicely.
Still testing the Caller ID function. I noticed that my Diamond is not starting up properly but I don't know if it is related to TrueCaller.
Issue is that my Diamond shuts down after wake up. It happens intermittently.
I just downloaded TrueCaller so I need time to see how it is working with my Diamond.

The application takes up 435kb of memory. I downloaded it to my Internal Storage.
Does not use any cpu while running. Only uses cpu when it is initiated during a call where it looks up the id.
I don't know how much cpu it uses during this period, but it must be very little.
I notice that if you tap the native task manager in the upper right hand corner, you can see the app running. If you tap the "x", you can exit and stop the program.
With my other runnig .exe's on start up, they are not viewable with the native task manager, but they have an option to start them in the "tray."
I don't know if there is a benefit of one over the other, regarding how TrueCaller starts.
Maybe someone else can shed some light on that aspect.
I personally like it when I start up my Diamond, and I see the little icons during start up, on the bottom tray of the apps that I have running.
Again, I don't know if there is a functionality difference in the way an app runs.

Re: True Caller ID
 

Awesome! Will have to try this out soon :)

Re: True Caller ID
 

Just download, choose your country and you're ready to go.
The on board reverse directory is real nice as you don't have to download a separate application for that.
Just enter a phone number, and it tells you the name and address of the person.
But remember that if the number is unlisted, it will not give out the information.
I think the same is true with most cellular numbers.
The numbers are matched to a Data Base similar to Whitepages.com or it may be that that is the Data Base used. If the number is not in the Data Base, you won't get the info..
Nevertheless, this is some really nice software, especially for the price, FREE :)

Re: True Caller ID
 

is this any different or better from NetCallerID?

Re: True Caller ID
 

Any reviews on this yet? How well does it work?

Re: True Caller ID
 

Thanks for the heads up. I went to your link, but could not get any info about the app.
I did find an extensive thread over at xda and posted some questions I have. I am awaiting a response.
One thing I see is that the app gives the caller info During or After the call is connected while TrueCaller gives the info Before.
But the app you mentioned seems to give more extensive info about the caller, which is what I am inquiring about over at the Developer's thread.
Here's the link to the thread >>

There is another link in the link I posted , as there was a multi page thread previously started to the one above.

Re: True Caller ID
 

Regarding TrueCaller, the stand alone reverse look up works pretty nicely.
I have not tried the caller id function yet.
I did notice that my Diamond was acting weird after download.
It would shut off on its own, when I went to run a different program, the screen was acting glitchy.
Appeared to be a conflict somehow.
I deleted TrueCaller and my Diamond was back to normal.
I have not downloaded the program since.
Coincidence regarding my issues?
or conflict with others programs?
I didn't keep it long enough to isolate the problem.
I will let the Developer know.

Re: True Caller ID
 

How can it look someone up using the data connection if you answer the call and are on the phone?

Re: True Caller ID
 

With TrueCaller, the caller id works as the call is ringing, before you pick up the call.

Re: True Caller ID
 

'bout time I see something that is available for WinMo devices and not the iPhone! HA HA
Is there any cost associate with either one of these programs?

Re: True Caller ID
 

No cost with either application.

The developer of TrueCaller said that there will be a nominal charge in the near future, for certain countries.

There is more info here >

Re: True Caller ID
 

I believe it looks it up really quickly before you answer the call, therefore the data + voice won't conflict if phone call is not initiated....at least in theory i'd suppose, because it doesn't work for me.
Running it on MR 6.5 right now (which I assume it doesnt like, WM 6.5 that is) and it seems like it's a simplified White Pages directory search app at this point, at least for me.

Because when a call comes in, the app doesn't pop up and identify the number, so basically after the call comes in, if I choose not to answer, I can then run the app, type in the phone number (manually for that matter), and then it supposedly connects to a whitepages type of database.

At least that's my experience with the app.

Not based on my experience at least, but i think that may have to do with it not liking WM 6.5 more than anything else.

Re: True Caller ID
 

I have a TouchPro running 6.5 and I'm wondering if I could just use the look up service for calls after the fact. Do you have to let this program run at startup? Did this program give you problems being installed on 6.5 if it wasn't running at startup? I don't really have a lot of use for it to look up a number when a call comes in. Look up afterwards could be handy though.

Re: True Caller ID
 

Yes, you can do that exactly.
In fact, that's what I use it for at the moment, because it doesn't work during the incoming call for me, only after the fact as you speculated.

It's pretty basic and intuitive in that regard, just run the app, punch in the number, it will do a lookup for you, and then provide you with contact information -- assuming the number is listed and its not a cell number.


Ive downloaded another app though, that also works after the fact, and gives more extensive info about the caller.
It's called NetCallerId

There's a thread about it over at XDA and one here too.
Unlike TrueCaller (once more based on my personal experience), NetCallerID will automatically provide you with caller info, also after the fact, but at least you wont have to punch in the numbers manually, as it will basically read the info from your call list.

Here's the XDA thread on NetworkCallerID by the way: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=494433

Re: True Caller ID
 

I tried it. It didn't look up the the number for me either. Really weird because the older version used to look it up (tho the results sucked). I understand this version is completely rewritten, so maybe it no longer works the same and it affects CDMA devices because of the whole no net + voice thing.

Good thing we're finally going to get simultaneous voice and data! Maybe then this app will work as advertised for CDMA peeps.

Re: True Caller ID
 

I received the following response from the TrueCaller Developer regarding the issues I was having >

"Hey Biker1,
That is too bad. I dont know of any other user with the same issue, but if there is an issue in TrueCaller, hopefully it will show in the few days to come! Thank you for your support anyway and I hope to see you back with us in the future :)"

Re: True Caller ID
 

Wow, great find. I'll be trying this out. Doing job interviews lately, sure would be nice to know who is calling me so I have an idea of who I'll be talking to.
