Starting programs whilst password protected.... help

[jonallwright]

I've got a M500, which is a great bit of kit however dialing when it is in its case is difficult as i keep the phone password locked.
This should not be a problem as it comes installed with fonix. all i need to do is power up and press the pre-defined hotkey - record and i can voice dial whilst the phone is still locked. the problem is, that fonix is useless outside a quiet room.
i have tried voice command which is 100% better but if the device is password protected the program won't start.
how can i get it to start when the device is password locked like what i could do with fonix?

Hi jonallwright, welcome to Pocket PC Thoughts.

Because your C500 is a Smartphone, you might want to ask this question over at our sister site, Smartphone Thoughts (http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/). We deal primarily with Pocket PCs, whereas they deal with - yep, you guessed it, Smartphones. :)

Hopefully, the happy folk there can help you out with your problem.

Hah - the difference a letter makes. 8)

Voice Command actually works without you having to input your password, but there is a catch to this. Despite being able to press a button to say a voice command, anything which requires the launching of another program won't show unless you type in your password, and as far as I'm aware, there isn't a way around this. The password screen is there to protect against unauthorised use, so creating a loophole specifically for Voice Command wouldn't really make sense.

I don't have a Pocket PC Phone Edition, so I can't test the "Call <Name>" command for you, but if that doesn't work with the password screen present, then I see no way to change this manually.

okay, so how come fonix works when my M500 is password protected?

It's the way Fonix was designed. Why Voice Command doesn't seem to support it is a question only the developers would know the answer to.

mmmm and now starts the quandry of whether to use the superior voice command w/o password or fonix with
