Hello! I'm new here, therefore not exactly sure I'm posting this the right place...

I need to design a solution for a cellphone that will somehow alert the cellphone user when a certain command is received over a continuous tcp socket connection.

I have done this already using j2me, but it does NOT work whilst you have a phone call.

It should be able to notify the user:
  • during a phone call
  • whilst minimized/suspended

How can I do this?

Some phones do not support simultaneous data and voice calls.
Some phones do not support running Java MIDlets on the background

So this really depends on the phone you are using. What phone are you targeting?

thanks... I'm targeting any phone, and all phones on which this will work...

From java, I hear you can't vibrate the device during a call.. Is this a case for all phones?
