photo assignments- to an incoming call - withheld -unknown - - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

Is there a way to assign a photo to an incoming call that is either withheld, unknown or found in phone book as done with the IA contact dialer provided with the XDA IIs?
Thanks

Look in your contacts, second line when editing or making new contact. A bit further you can select ringtone. Works much better than IA dialer.

I think what Hennyb means a common photo or picture can be assign for those not in the contact list like what Caller ID used in XDA IIs.

That is correct. I am using Photo Contact Pro now which lets me change the No_Photo.gif and caller_ID.Gif in the program directory, to a picture of my choosing so all incoming calls without a photo assigned display this picture. Also, an incoming call, displays the name in a larger font so I can read it without glasses.
Honestly still prefer IA Photo Contacts that came with the XDA IIs.

Since New ROM 1.06 CALLER ID did not show pictures ?? HELP

Since New ROM 1.06 CALLER ID did not show pictures anymore ???
nore affected rings, same things ???
If you do a preview on CALLED ID when you affect a picture to a CALLER, the picture and the special ring will show and play
but after you close everything, and you ask the person to call you in order to verified, no pictures SHOW??
I did try several friends and all the same ??
Is that because I have a new version of caller ID 1.20 (build 18586 )
can someone help ?
thanks
OK I found the solution (myself)
Finally I browsed to IA caller Options from the main menu, then selected General. In the General screen, disabled (un-check) the Display Photo During Incoming or Waiting Call checkbox, selected Done to make it effective. Then, I repeated the same steps to enable (check) the Display photo During Incoming or Waiting call checkbox.
Since then I got a few calls with template displayed again.
Hope it helps others.
I was also looking on how to disable IE CALLER (in order to install a substitute CALLER ID program)
here is how to do this :
Instructions for disabling IA Caller ID
(IA Caller ID is NOT Photo Contacts !!!):
Option #1
1. Open IA Caller ID
2. Press Menu>Options>General and un-check the "Display photo during incoming or waiting call" box.
Option #2
1. Open File Explorer on your Pocket PC
3. Browse to \Windows\StartUp\
4. Delete (or move) "IA_CID_Startup.exe"
5. Soft-reset the phone (turn-off, turn-on).
Thanks bruxelles5... I've been looking all over for a possible fix to the IA_Caller problem. I will try it on my MDA2 and see if it works...
Thanks again!

Does it use its own Caller ID software? I liked PocketX Photo Contscts because it has its own Caller ID module that replaces one we have in JAM. But I did not like the rest the programm does If they could do just Caller ID + assign pictures and ringtones I'd buy it.
Tried Sygic and didn't like it. I want to set my own pictures for incoming calls, not cartoons.

Hi,
Contacts Pro looks nice, does someone know how to assign this app to act like my default phone program ? Where can you set this ?
thanks,
They all (and Caller ID) suck! There's no good caller id software for pocket pc phone edition.
NO REGEDIT WORK AROUND?
OTHER WISE THE I-MADE CALLED ID WAS BETTER THE ALL OTHER PROGRAMS MENTIONED.
BUT I AM NOT INTERESTED INSTALLING NEW APS FOR IT! THE WM5 SYNCS WITH OUTLOOK.
THANK YOU
Photo Contacts Pro V4 works well. It's Compatible with WM5 and you can also assign different ring tones and phone profiles.

I bought it and I really regret it. It does not work when you are using the password option in WM5 and that really sucks becasue who is willing to use his valuable Pocket PC without at least a password protection ?

Whats a god way about going about per contact ringtones?

I'm searching now, but phoneext has been the only thing I found, and I never really liked it since it took over a lot of the functions of the phone.

Works for SMS messages also. The author mentions it can't handle large contact databases. He doesn't give a specific number but it works fine with my contact list 600+ contacts. Also allows you to assign tones by contact category (my main use since this is far easier than individual tones). BTW you should realize that in your contacts edit view you can assign a ringtone to the contact along with their photo.

haha, dang, I didn't realize that was there in the per contact edit.
Thanks!
I used Photo Contacts PRO (Pocket PC Edition) by PocketX Software Inc.
Editing the contacts info seems to be bugged as far as updating phone numbers and other info. At least on my phone. However everything else on it works great. You can select a different ring tone for each contact. Also allows you to set default ringtone for users not in your contact list. Also has a better appointment interface and several other goodies. I highly recommend.
You can do this without the need for third-party apps... right from within your Contacts applet. Just edit the contact and assign a ring tone to him/her from the available drop down.

Managing Ringtones

Hi there,
Since the arrival of my Rhodium yesterday I´m looking for a new way of managing ringtones.
With my Kaiser, I use Inesoft´s Phone 4, which enables me to assign any ringtone to any category. Since WIndows Mobile syncs categories with Outlook, managing contacts into categories and assigning them ringtones used to be so easy. Problem is, Phone 4 only works if the caller ID function si ENABLED, and I don´t want to use it with Rhodium.
Soooo... what apps around there you guys are using to manage and assign ringtones to categories ? Ringo ? Any other options ?
Thanks in advance...
So, if caller ID is not ENABLED, how would the software, or even phone itself know what number is calling you (to pick the right ringtone for the contact)?

Well, I don´t see that as a problem, there are lots of apps that work in the background (eg. gyrator for example, ActiveSync, PhotoContacts Pro, etc.).

How do you define Caller ID not Enabled? If your SIM card caller ID service is not enabled, then you will not get caller ID therefore no software can pick the correct ringtone.
err... which do you mean...
1. Caller ID application is not running
2. Caller ID not Enable (turn off reciving caller ID information from your TelCo)
3. Caller ID application is running in the background
???
I think he meant for caller id function in Inesoft to which it will override the photo id of the default Rhodium with Inesoft big photo id if you want to use the group/categories ringtone.
I use ringo mobile to enable the group/categories ringtone with good result and yet the default photo id screen of Rhodium is working perfectly.
