up to now, your great PoneControl works very good on my carpc

I like these functions VERY MUCH!

1.auto hide startup
2.wakeup by call
3.wakeup by incoming SMS

I have studied how to 'design' from your detailed PDF,
I can confige almost everything and did the skin in my way.

The ONLY problem confused me is double character

I have tried this command, <?xml version="1.0" encoding="GB2312"?>
in order to make Chinese displayed on phonebook (interface display always OK)

and it doesn't work
even my IE can not recognize the xml file (see pic below). what shall I do?

Chinese characters was divided into two groups: simplified Chinese and Big5 Chinese

I have read the success discussion of BIG5 on mp3car.com
and still no idea to fix it up

in simple words:
can not display simplified Chinese on phonebook and SMS

the pic shows xml running on IE
it say 'do not support conversion from update codec to the request one'

You must set the encoding to "BIG5", other things won't work.

The Phonebook and the SMS characters depend on what your phone is delivering...
As I remember, lanpa16 edited his phonebook (PhoneCtl.PB.xml) manually to get the correct charachters in there.

I don't know what he did with the SMS... you might drop him a PM.

update statue:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="GB2312"?>
works on both the control.xml and the PB.xml

by editting PB.xml, phonebook can be displayed correctly

but each time refresh (downloading) phonebook from phone, ??? code again.....

I did read thru all threads regarding to PhoneControl, but I did not find what I am looking for. (There were some stuff I did not quite understand

)

The way I setup my carputer is that MediaCar and PhoneControl to startup when I start my car. Then MediaCar starts playing music and PhoneControl comes on top. There I can do whatever with PhoneControl, but when I minimize the PhoneControl I don't have way to go back to PhoneControl.

It comes back when get a call, but I don't know how to bring it up when I want make a call.
Is there way to bring PhoneControl back on top?

I see the remote interface for PCN. Would it be possible to get a DLL, so C and .NET developers can use it directly, instead of remotely interfacing over a local port?

This will be the case for version 2.0. Right now this is not possible because of the MSCOMM I've used.
By then, this part won't be freeware anymore

You can configure PhoCo as an external application within MediaCar. On first launch the running instance will be captured by MediaCar and displayed within MC...

Problem is: You won't have the popup anymore when a call is incoming (cause then PhoCo it's captured). Stopping PhoCo from within MC will cause the app to be unloaded.

Another option is, to have an external button that is always "on Top" and uses the Remote Interface (which will be available shortly) to get it into the foreground.

Thanks Zorro for reply.
I guess best option would be to wait for next release.

BTW, thank you for great software.

Is that your plan? I would gladly pay for a solid bluetooth dll. If it is the plan, is there any sort of expected timeframe?

**zorro** · 09-25-2004, 11:05 AM

This has nothing to do with Bluetooth. Bluetooth only does the transport.

No timeframe yet.

Mine does this too, but I am using FrodoPlayer. When I start Phonecontrol then minimize it to the taskbar at the bottom of the screen there is no way to get it to maximize again. It is frustrating and I have to end up killing the program and then restarting it. I cant do a task switch with Alt-Tab since I am using touchscreen.

Any thoughts?
