Release new phoco integration preview

**Robby BMW** · 04-04-2006, 10:45 AM

@ tbird: Yes, in the next coming soon preview, RR will close phoco when enter in hibernation and will restart it when come out.

@ wfs: Well, in effects I've made some changes.
Now phoco.ini is only for the language settings.

#unknown_caller=Unknown
#incoming_call=Call From:
#in_call=In call:
#outgoing_call=Dialing:
#intPhoneBook=Internal Contacts
#phonePhoneBook=Phone Contacts
#simPhoneBook=Sim Card Contacts
#allCalls=All Calls
#inCalls=Incomming Calls
#outCalls=Dialed Calls
#missedCalls=Missed Calls
#SMSin=SMS Inbox
#SMSout=SMS Outbox
#SMSsent=SMS Sent
#SMSarchiv=SMS Archived

All the parameters inherent to the configurations are been moved to rr.ini (that is the most appropriated place for this).
At the moment the PhoCo's settings accepted by RR are the following:

phocopath=<PATH TO PHOCO.EXE>
Path to PhoneCtl.Net.EXE (Zorro's Phone control application -- if used).

phoconodesign=0|1
Phone Control launch mode: 1=Launch PhoCo with NoDesign feature (Faster)

phoconoincallevent=0|1
Use Phone Control In Call event ? (0=Use the InCall event 1=Don't use the InCall event)

ringtone=<PATH TO RINGTONE FILE.WAV>
Path to Ring Tone file for incomming calls.

smstone=<PATH TO SMSTONE FILE.WAV>
Path to SMS Tone files for incomming SMS alerts.

phonelistspath=<PATH TO INTERNAL ADDRESSBOOK, CALLS and SMS FILES.XML>
Path to store phonebooks and phone information files.

standardphonebook=0|1|2
Default Phone List view (0=Internal, 1=Phone, 2=SIM Card)

maxcalllistentries=<MAX CALLS TO KEEP IN CALL LIST FILE>
Defines how many entries we should store in the call lists.

connecthsp=0|1
Manage the audio gateway by RR instead of PhoCo? (0=No, 1=Yes)

btdevicename=<PHONE NAME>
Bluetooth name of your phone (Used to manage the audio gateway)

Take a look at the 1# post of this thread to see more details concerning the last two parameters.

Are you able to make it drop the audio gateway connection when the call is over? It sucks because when my phone gets connected to my pc via audio gateway it doesn't close it.. Upon hibernation it won't hibernate unless I click on "OK" to close it...

Please, may you confirm that this does not happen?

Sorry I didn't realise rr did this for me. I will have a look and let you know my findings. Thanks

Thanks, for all your hard work and your post clears up a lot of questions.

awesome work, and awesome timing bro.

i just got the VX6700 and got phoco working with it, but only version 1.6 cause it is a smart phone.

I'm going to wait until next pay period to buy this version, but cant wait to try your mods to RR on it. I'd love to have RR working with phoco, including fixing the hibernation issues.

I'm guessing that most of you are using your speakers/microphones for your set ups?

i think that would create too much feedback, so I found this solution on phoco.net for setting phoco to deliver the audio to my bluetooth headset correctly

Also, i HIGHLY, HIGHLY reccomend the VX6700 over all the other smart phones out there.

The buttons are much bigger and easier to handle then the treo, it has built-in wifi (which you can configure with some registry hacks to work simultaneously with your voice service) and it costs $100 less than the treo 700W.

Reallly a great buy, I'm loving it....can't wait for it to be a central part of my RR setup!

Is in my intentions to solve this problem too....

Hi,
Sorry I have a motorola V3 and with this modify now I can use it with RR and Phoco but I don't understand how to route phone audio to pc speaker and mic.
It is possible to use the PC audio (mic and speaker) to answer a call?
If yes...wich settings in Phoco: controlled by RR or by Winamp?
Any other setting in RR?

Thanks

Alex

That's a function of your bluetooth stack. You need to install the Widcomm Bluetooth stack v1.4 or above. The current release are v5.0.x.x. With this bluetooth stack, your PC will support the Audio Gateway service which allows another bluetooth device (in this case, your mobile phone) to transfer it's audio wirelessly to your PC's speakers and microphone. The default WinXP bluetooth stack does not support such a feature.

I'm using Broadcom 4.0.1.700 and it still does it?

Slightly off topic: Sounds like you may know BT pretty good.. I got a question for you.. When I make / accept a call and my phone connects to my computer via voice gateway, I can HEAR the caller through my car speakers but they cannot hear me. This totally puzzles me because I can have sound recorder open while in call and it records my voice!?!
