Looking for a "Voice Calendar" app.

IMHO there's no need for such an application.
You can set alarms for calendar entries, and text pops up on-screen telling you what it's for.
Just be sure to enter all your 'Memo' events as 'Meeting' to have alarm support.

Ya, But I have to write long memo's somtimes
and I writr really really slow, so I don't have time
for this. It's more easy just to record this ...
But no app like this exists ?

Thenks man, But I didn't understand ... is it a separate calander
or it works with the calander in the OS. ?

Voice Cal = $20

Sandinista's Solution = $0

Here goes.

1. Open 'Recorder' and record the memo to yourself.
2. Select 'Rename', and rename the clip 'Memo1', 'Memo2' etc.
3. Open 'Calendar', and select the date the memo is for.
4. Create 'New entry > Meeting', and enter 'Memo1' etc in the Subject.
5. Set your alarm.
6. When the alarm goes off 'Memo1' appears on-screen. Open 'Gallery', and play the clip.

Thenks, Sandinista ...
But I didn't get one thing ..
if I'll do that, then on the date I set
the memo will play automaticly ?!?!?

No, it won't open automatically, but if you followed the first steps correctly, it will tell you on-screen which recorded memo to select. You just go to 'Gallery', open 'Sound clips' folder, and play back the clip with the same name you used to label the 'Meeting', ie. 'Memo1'.
It might seem a little complicated, but it's probably only slightly more so than the Voice Cal app.
You pays your money, you takes your choice...

ummmm ... I dont know, Sandinista ....
the whole point of the Voice Calander for me
it's to be able to add remiders as quickly and
easly as possible, and your method seems very
long ...

Hi DoorMan,
I think I have a nice solution for your problem. It a bit lengthy, but not as much as Sandinista solution.

1. Open 'Recorder' and record the memo to yourself.
2. Select 'Rename', and rename the clip 'Memo1', 'Memo2' etc.
3. Open 'Calendar', and select the date the memo is for.
4. Create 'New entry > Meeting', and enter 'Memo1' etc in the Subject.
5. Set your alarm.
6) goto Options > settings > Calendar alarm tone
7) Change the alarm tone to the sound clip you just recorded.
howzzz that?

+ points
1) it do not take that much time. Because, even if you use any voice calendar app, you have to set the date,time & you have to record the voice. That means first 5 steps will be the same.

-points
1) Only one entry because i think there is only one tone you can assign to calendar at a time. I wish calendar app had the feature like personalize tones (same as contacts app, where, we can assign diffferent tones to different numbers)

I thought of suggesting setting the alarm tone, but chances are you'd miss much of the message before you retrieved the phone. Doubly so if you're outside at the time.
Still, I think DoorMan ought to give each method a try before buying an application like that.
Surely Voice Cal requires you to make a recording, and assign the recording to a particular calendar event?
So what's the difference? $20!

Well, it's sound nice koks, but I'll need more then
one entry .... and like Sandinista sais, I'll miss most of
the massage util I get it out.
I think it will be better to use a third party app,
it's more convenient and fast to do on the road.

Anyway, If i get on of those apps, can I unload the
orginal Calander from nokia to free some RAM ?
and use it instead ?

I just don't understand why nokia didn't put such obvious
function (voice memo's) into the built in calander ...
it is that hard ???

Calendar is read only, so, no. It's only 105KB anyway - I have ringtones that are larger 😊

Well that is not possible as the application is on the system ROM.

Ya, but it still lurks in the RAM ? Right ?
taking off the free limited memory ...

The calender app doesnt run at startup,so it cant use any system resources until you manually start it. So even if you could remove it (which you cant for the above reason) it wouldnt make any difference. 😃

:icon14:

Btw: It will still take up 105.04kb of phone memory (According to mine anyway) but wont use any Ram as you have suggested. 😊

you can buy voice reminder app. from http://www.psiloc.com/index.html?id=233

i think maybe this application will meet your requirements

Can I confirm my knowledge of the OS, from using its former incarnations on Psion PDA's, that the EPOC, or as it is now known Symbian OS, does not load its applications into RAM to run them but runs them from where they are, only keeping the config (ini) file in RAM and any data files for it? That has been my understanding of of it for a while, am I completely wrong? I though that was what made it different from other OS's at the time, apart from it being RISC based.

You sound like you know a lot more about it than me mate!

I was merely pointing out to Doorman that removing the calender app,wouldnt make any difference to the speed of the phone (His concerns of ram lurking Lol) and the fact it doesnt use much memory anyway! 😊

Executable code/applications run from the Flash ROM drive (Z-drive) are never loaded into RAM. They are "eXecuted In Place" (XIP).

If they create any files for permanent data, then they do take up phone memory (C-drive) or memory card/MMC memory (E-drive). They might also store temporary data on the RAM-drive (D-drive).

When they are executed, any stack/heap space (for run-time variables) is taken from Dynamic RAM (DRAM), but only for as long as the applications run.

Thanks for the confirmation N/A 😊 Just as I thought, but written more technically than I could.

I dunno lakey,it sounded pretty good to me. 😊

I knew N/A would come in with a definitive answer.

😊
