How to control landline telephone from computer? - phone-call

I want to call other telephone number from my landline telephone using my computer. For example, I want to develop a software by C# or nodejs or any other programming language, which will have a textbox and a button. when I press the button it will call number in the textbox using my telephone, but I will use my telephone to talk, not any headphones. I just want to place the call by programming. Is it possible to achieve this?
N.B: I will use modem or pbx if I need to but don't know which way I should achieve this.

You can do this with modems. That old things, which was used in dial up connections.
Or VoIP and softphone, to run calls from software, not hardware phone.

How to create webservice for online game

I created a game in flash, for android(I know flash is dead, but was the only platform I knew how to code a game). It's based on matches, I did the AI and the game works very well offline.
But now I want to make it online and I never developed anything for web, like websites, webservers. I do not even know what SOAP, REST and this methodologies are.
So what do I need to learn to develop something like this? Here are the requirements :
I want to create a "room" with your facebook friends that are online in the moment.
In this "room" you can invite them to play a match.
The information that is passed client to client is only two points in the cartesian plane(e.g., {(1,2), (3,5)}) and the information that the game may have ended.
It's important to notice that the server must hold connections from
cellphones. The information passed is from cellphone to cellphone.
Develop the whole game in another language or platform is not an option. This is my first game that will be published, so its more like an learning exercise. I dont know PHP nor Python, but I can learn it.
Thanks.
there is a service called Flox (https://www.flox.cc/docs/getting-started) which has a AS3 integration, take a look at it, may help you

Playback mp3s in Symbian Belle with J2ME

i`m new to Symbian , my goal is to playback mp3 file stored on phone with my MIDLet.
Is it possible? I do not know how to do it - i'll be very grateful for any help.
It's possible with the APIs provided by J2ME.
First step. You need to verify that your specific phone has the capabilities required. Install any free J2ME mp3 app like KD Player (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KD_Player) and try using it on your phone.
Second step. If your phone can play mp3 music using the free app but you still want to create your own, you need to find a good J2ME resource like this:

To be honest, that second step is probably a bit too much especially if you're the kind of person who asks first instead of using Google. Sorry.

Mobile locator using cellphone number?

I want to know if it is possible to get the current location of mobile phone using mobile number . Can you suggest me any algorithm. I want to create a web service and integrate it with Google maps.
No, this isn't possible. Even for the carriers, it isn't possible to get GPS-based coordinates for an arbitrary device referenced by phone number, for obvious privacy reasons.
You need software on the device to report the location. At that point, you might as well use some pre-existing software, such as Google Latitude (for Android). There are many solutions out there.

Android on Samsung s5230 star (for C++)

First of all, i will explain what i want to do, maybe there is a simpler way.So, i have a Samsung s5230 star, and i'm a C++ programmer.Bad combination, considering that for my phone there is only Java support and documentation.So this is mainly why i want to switch to android (and because i'm a computer geek and i'm curious how can you install a OS on a phone, lol :)) )
So, my first question is : If i change the OS (to Android), could i have a chance in making some C++ code run on my Samsung?If yes, please lead me to some (detailed, noob friendly :) ) indications on how to do it.
And, the second one (important even if the first one is not true) : Can i install Android on Samsung s5230 star ?If so, please, also, lead me to some noob-friendly info on the install of Android on my phone (or any phone).
As a bonus (you can ignore this, but i didn't want to make another useless topic about it), are there any "secret combinations" on the Samsung s5230 ?Like if i'd want to do more than just speak on the phone...like some way to acces the equivalent of BIOS, just to goof around with the phone :)
Sorry for asking three questions in one topic, if you have an answer for any of them, please post it.Thanks :)
There was this project that was published for a while. I haven't ever tried it out, but if you want to, you can download it here. For the codes you can google around, one that works with every Samsung device is #0# e.g test mode. Also, if you shut the phone off and hold power and Vol - buttons simultaneously, it will enter a "DOWNLOAD" mode. (the only phones with UEFI are those with Windows pre-installed)
There is the Android NDK, which lets you develop for the Android OS using C++. See this link for details: NDK developer site. If you come from a C++ background, picking up Java is probably more trivial than wrestling with the NDK.

Where can I find API documentation for Windows Mobile phone application skin?

I have to customize the look of Windows Mobile (5/6) dialer application. From bits and pieces of information and the actual custom skin implementations in the wild I know that it is actually possible to change a great deal. I am looking for ways to change the look and feel of the following screens:
Actual dialer (buttons, number display, etc.)
Incoming call notification
Outgoing call screen
In-call screen
At least in the HTC Fuze device there is a custom skin that can be enabled or disabled, and it is actually a dll.
Can anyone point me to a section in MSDN, any kind of sample code, or at least mention the keyword I should be looking for?
Edit: There seem to be a number of "skins" for download. How do they do it?
There is currently no API for the default phone dailer and you can't replace it. The only people that can are the OEM's that make the devices.
I beleave you can add a context menu extender but I can't find the sample but that's about it.
As the other post article link goes into, there are enough API's in WM that you can write your own dailer and kind of replace it in most cases. Altho you can detect incomming calls you may be out of luck displaying a GUI in all situations (e.g. when the phone is locked).
There is an article series by Jeff Cogswell which could be very interesting for you.
