New York World Phone

I first found this softphone on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BeWip.

BeWip is a proprietary softphone which unifies VoIP (based on SIP) and Cellular communications GSM on mobile GSM/WIFI mobile phone based on the Microsoft Windows Mobile operating system like PDAs / Pocket PCs / smartphones.

I was happy to see it because I’m looking a good softphone for my SDA.

Then I checked it’s website www.bewip.com. To download the softphone, we have to subscribe, within 24 hours, we’ll receive an email with the password. Then we’ll be able to log in and get the download link.

It can be use for a lot of different brands of PPC’s and Smartphones. We need choose the phone and the service provider from the available list. I’ll be preset. We cannot set it for any sip service provider.

After we install it, we have to run a patch to activate the account. Then we’ll be able to use it.

Actually I don’t like it although it surprised me at the beginning when I first found it. Because 1. It’s free, but it’s evaluation version which will expire. 2. It’s complicated to get it run. Patch it, activate it, do some modification to registry etc. 3. It takes much space compared to some cute softphones I saw. 4. Actually, I didn’t manage to run it. I didn’t change anything to registry. After I installed and activated it, I tried to start it. Sometimes, It just didn’t start after a long time starting, sometimes, it simply gave me an error messsage.

So I don’t have any result from it. But anyway, good to know it. It may help some poeple.

Other Information

1. I am using SDA, I actually installed skype(for ppc .cab) and ESCSoftPhone_Demo(IAX). I can install speaQ softphone, but there’s no touch screen with SDA, I can’t switch between the tabs or dial numbers. So I can’t use it. I can install amsip-ppc, but it takes .NET. So I give it up. I can’t install any other softphones, like any version of SJPhone or Xlite/Xten. I use Jeyo Mobile Companion 1.1 from PC to backup and restore contacts or other pim from another SIM card.

   1) go to sjlabs.com and download the PC version
   2) Edit the SIP PC to PC profile and put in your account details for your sip provider.
   3) Make a test call - YES from your PC, to be 100% sure you settings are correct
   4) Extract the files in the zip to your phone. You should have the exe, dll and skin file in any directory you want to put it in, and the profiles (.ini files) in sub directory Profiles. For example:
   \Storage Card\SjPhone\Default.skn
   \Storage Card\SjPhone\SJphone.exe
   \Storage Card\SjPhone\SJphoneSetup.dll

   \Storage Card\SjPhone\Profiles\H.323 direct.ini
   \Storage Card\SjPhone\Profiles\SIP direct.ini

   NOTE to mods: The cab file is freely available at http://www.sjlabs.com/preview/ce/ (a link from their download page). I’ve extracted the files from it using WinCE manager and put them here. If thats not ok, then just delete the atachment and everyone can just do that step themselves!

   5) copy the .ini file from your PC (c:\program files\sjlabs\sjphone\profiles i think) to the profiles directory on your phone.
   6) launch sjphone on your phone
   7) Hit left soft key and scroll to services. Select PC to PC (sip).

   You may have to hit the left soft key and shutdown, then restart sjphone
   Once its started, you can scroll to the dial box, and dial the number (hold * to change to numbers first), then scroll down to dial. Unfortunately you can’t delete a digit you enter so its tricky!

   Here’s an export of the reg keys from the cab file:

   REGEDIT4

   [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Afd]
   “DgramBuffer”=dword:00000008

   [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\URLProtocols\callto]

   [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\callto\DefaultIcon]
   @=hex(7):25,49,6e,73,74,61,6c,6c,44,69,72,25,5c,53,4a,70,68,6f,6e,65,2e,65,78,\
   65,2c,31,00,00

   [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\callto]
   “URL Protocol”=””

   [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\callto\Shell\open\command]
   @=”%InstallDir%\\SJphone.exe /callto %1″

   [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\SJLabs\SJvoip Project\SJphone]

   [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SJLabs\SJvoip Project\SJphone]
   “key1″=”GQVV0-3OUI3-APJB4-TKEJ1-A1EGG”
   “key2″=”GQVV0-3OUI3-APJB4-TKEJ1-A1EGG”

   [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SJLabs\SJvoip Project\SJphone\Options\General]
   “AddressBook”=”\\%CE5%\\SJphone.xml”

   [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SJLabs\SJvoip Project\SJphone\Options\Call Logs]
   “CallLogFileName”=”\\%CE5%\\SJphone.clm”

   [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SJLabs\SJvoip Project\SJphone\Options\Skin]
   “SkinDllFileName”=”%InstallDir%\\Default.skn”
   “UseSkin”=dword:00000001

   [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SJLabs\SJvoip Project\SJphone\Options\Profiles]
   “ProfilesDir”=”%InstallDir%\\Profiles”
   “PersonalDataDir”=”%InstallDir%\\Profiles”
   “ActiveProfile”=”C0DFB9E1-79A0-4749-844F-18EC3DE3629D”

   [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SJLabs\SJvoip Project\SJphone\Options\RTP]
   “RTPService”=dword:00000032

   You don’t need ANY of them to get it to work, but you may want to try to get the skin working by adding this one:

   [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SJLabs\SJvoip Project\SJphone\Options\Skin]
   “SkinDllFileName”=”%InstallDir%\\Default.skn”
   “UseSkin”=dword:00000001

   Of course replace %InstallDir% with where you install sjphone

   Oh and here’s a list of the identifiers in case you’re wondering what they mean:

   CE1 \Program Files
   CE2 \Windows
   CE4 \Windows Startup
   CE5 \My Documents
   CE11 \Windows\Start Menu\Programs
   CE12 \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories
   CE14 \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Games
   CE15 \Windows\Fonts
   CE17 \Windows\Start Menu

See your location on the map, with or without GPS. Save time and tedious keystrokes finding where you are, what's around you, and how to get there. Watch the video on the right to see how it works. Press “0″ and look for the blue dot: or If you have a GPS-enabled device, this blue dot corresponds to your GPS location. At times, or if you do not have a GPS-enabled phone, you might see the blue dot surrounded by a light blue circle (as shown on the right) to indicate uncertainty about your location. Why the uncertainty? The My Location feature takes information broadcast from mobile towers near you to approximate your current location on the map - it's not GPS, but it comes pretty close (approximately 1000m close, on average). We're still in beta, but we're excited to launch this feature and are constantly working to improve our coverage and accuracy. The My Location feature is available for most web-enabled mobile phones, including Java, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, and Nokia/Symbian devices. Get more info on the My Location feature and supported devices, or discuss Google Maps and My Location with other users.

Finally, I managed to install Chinese font in my Tmobile SDA smartphone with WM5.

One I also succeeded is Chinese font tweak. But when I installed it, all the english fonts looked like SBC Case(widely separated). So I removed it. Finally, I succeeded with this post: http://www.airfagev.com/howtos_details.asp?id=77. But I changed something.

I used the Unicode font file sunglobe.ttf from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=253867 or this one: http://www.ppcsg.com/index.php?showtopic=67386 instead of the SimSun.ttf (which is 10M). Actually, the font file from Chinese font tweak is pretty small, much smaller than sunglobe and worked. So maybe it’s better to change it to that considering the space. But I didn’t try it.

Here is what I’ve done with this method, basically following the original post, followed by problems.

1. Locate segoe.ttf & segoeb.ttf from your \Windows directory of WM5.0,

2. copy the 2 files to \Windows\Fonts directory of the WM5.0

3. Download the sunglobe.zip from the link above, unzip it and copy the ttf font file to \Windows\Fonts directory of the WM5.0

4. Edit your WM5.0 registry with the following[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\FontPath]
“FontPath”=”\\windows\\Fonts“[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\FontLink\SystemLink]
“Segoe Condensed”=”\\windows\\Fonts\\sunglobe.ttf,UniSun“

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI]
“FontLinkMethods”=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\SYSFNT]
“Nm”=”UniSun”

5. Note: sunglobe.ttf is a chinese font, you may wanna replace it with another regional font. UniSun is the actual font name for sunglobe.ttf, therefore remember to rename the value in Step 4 Nm=FontName

Result and problems:

Now I have most english words are still good, working the same as before. File manager reads Chinese names, PIE and skype show Chinese words too. I don’t receive any Chinese SMS for a long time. But I believe it should be fine.

But the titles showing on the top of the screen become bigger, like Chinese font treak did. Chinese TXT file can’t be read. Before I installed it, a file name in Chinese was shown as boxes. Different from that, the content in a txt file is shown like with a wrong encoding.

I wonder how I can make it work properly totally. If I need/want to install another regional font, what should I do?

1. Thanks for the info. To fix the strange looking titles, change:
   [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\SYSFNT]
   “Nm”=”UniSun”

   To

   “Nm”=”Segoe Condensed”

   Cheers,

2. Thanks. works perfect.

3. Why waste space by copying segoe.ttf & segoeb.ttf from the windows folder to the fonts folder? Why not just copy your new font to the \windows folder and set
   “Segoe Condensed”=”\\windows\\sunglobe.ttf,UniSun“

   Also, I didn’t mess with the SYSFNT. Is it really needed if you don’t want to change your english text?

5. @badbod001, By the way, maybe you could also just try the way in this post: http://www.ppcsg.com/index.php?showtopic=67386. It’s like something you said.
