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.

ringtone programs...

Hi,
I just wanted to have some special ringtones for some contacts or groups...
But so far, I wasn't lucky:
Caller-ID: slow, often didn't show the correct number, lots of compatibilty troubles
RingtoneX: slowed down my device even more than Caller-ID. And it doesn't recognize the ringtone directory, which I moved to \Storage\Rings. If I set the ringtone folder in RingtoneX to this path, it copies the used files to \Windows\Rings - which is slow, useless, and clutters my valuable main memory.
PhonExt: didn't work at all. I could set the ringtones just fine, but they're not used if a call comes in. And it only supports WAV.
Is there any other program I could try? Or are there ways to work around the named troubles?
Bye,
Mirko

Yeah I've been lloking for a good ringtone app as well. Finally stuck with IA CallerID for the same issues you mentioned. Haven't been experiencing a lot of trouble with it though, my tones are also in \Storage\Rings and I have small animated GIFS for groups. Also I only setup the people who ring me the most not all 400+ contacts.

You're not alone. I had hunt and found that IA is the only one that works(buggy).
The caller ID program is lacking somewhat important features such as assigning ringtones by category.

Can you try whether this works for you?
I simply modifiy the registry entry for the ringtone when a call comes in.
Surprisingly this worked for me - I'd have expected the system's call popup to read this entry before I get control...
Nontheless, I'd like to know if I'm just lucky, or if it works generally...
The program interface is a mixture of PhoneExt and RingtoneX.
Like PhoneExt, it must be running to work (i.e. put a link in autostart folder if you want it permanent), there are category ringtones with priorities, and there's a tray icon with popup menu.
Like RingtoneX, you can set ringtones for both groups and contacts.
Currently, the contacts are only read at program launch, so you have to restart it to recognize modifications to the contacts.
In the contacts list, the used catecory ringtone is shown, if no contact ringtone is set. You can tell whether it's a contact ringtone by the "X" (remove) button - it's inactive if the ringtone's received from the categories.
There might be problems with huge contact databases, since I create a number -> ringtone map for performance reasons (searching the number in the contact database would be far too slow, esp. since numbers can appear in different variations, which I unify...).
Another thing to notice: I list all files in the ringtone folder - no matter if they're valid ringtones or not.
Oops: Last not least: The installation. Just copy the contained file somewhere on your PPC and execute it there. You should create a new folder for it, since contacts.dat and categories.dat will be created in the directory where the program file is located.
btw: Except for the modified ringtone entry, there are no modifications to the system, i.e. after exiting the program, all will be like it was before...

Hi !
I've made an app to display picture of contacts to dial, and I'm interested in how you get the incoming call notification (I'd like to make my own calledID). So I you can share source or point me some sites where to find info, ...
I hope my app will be available soon.
Regards,
Olivier.

has anybody tried Mort's application?

Another try...
I'm using lineSetAppPriority now, which should ensure my tools can set the ringtone before the default popup appears. Sadly, on my device it's completely ignored. But maybe it works on other devices - or has somebody here experience with lineSetAppPriority?
If you copy the included mortsms.dll to the \Windows directory, customized SMS signals should work, too.
Programmers: If you create a registry key with <window title>=<window handle> (as DWord) in HKLM\Software\Mort\SMSNotify\Windows, you'll receive a WM_COPYDATA with a string containing "SMS\n<sender>\n<text>" whenever an SMS comes in...

Mort
I've installed MortRing 0.2 on my device (haven't set ringtones yet) it uses CallerID Picture and MortRing ringtone so it works!!! Now I have to find a way to uninstall CallerID without a hard reset. Thanks.

The sms function is not working on my mda compact

Er, right...
To active the mortsms.dll, you either have to do the following:
1. Show "Messaging" and close it again (real close, i.e. Storage - Running programs or any "Close button replacement" like PocketPlus).
2. Copy mortsms.dll to \Windows
3. (Re)start MortRing
Or put the DLL in the \Windows directory, do a soft reset, and launch MortRing...

Mort, your program really rocks! Thanks alot dude 8)
but one thing: when i get a missed call, it says 2 missed calls (one with the number, and the other with UNKNOWN number)!!
otherwise, everyting is COoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoL :lol: thanks

Does even not work. ringtones ok. sms does not work

Here's a version with installer, maybe it fixes the SMS problem (I think the DLL doesn't get registered correctly without installer...). Restarting "Messaging" or a soft reset might still be necessary after installation, though...
It also creates a Startup entry.
@ezzkht: That might be a follow-up error from the lineSetAppPriority problems. I forward the call informations to the next priority program (usually Windows' call popup). If the priority is ignored, I do that after it already got it... But I've got no idea why the number gets lost...

Here's a variation without lineSetAppPriority. Maybe it helps with the "unknown" entry in the call history...

Ringtones works, sms works Thanks, Mort!

Here's a minor update. On some devices, the mortsms.dll did not work. It seems like ole32.dll isn't preinstalled on all devices, but I was able not to require it anymore...
Currently, lineSetAppPriority is removed completely, as it doesn't seem to have any positive effects. Sadly, due to this, it doesn't work everywhere - at least I know of one user with an MDA II and a quite a lot of contacts (about 500), where it doesn't work. I don't know whether it's because of the amount of contacts or the device differences.
(SMS notifications should work everywhere, though)

after a test it plays the sms ringtone that i selecet for one adressentrybut after a while the standat sms tone is gone and for all incomming sms the selecet for the entry is played

cooooooooool, now it works well 8)
thanks Mort :wink:

Now the SMS tone is reset a second after the notifacation and on program exist, so the default tone won't be overridden with the recently used.
Additionally, there are three pseudo categories: *other contacts*, *not in contacts*, and *number supressed*.

Mort!!!! would like to thank you again for this application works very well on my imate JAM! I'm really happy with it!!! Now I have more RAM to play with as Caller ID has been removed! Woooohoooo! Respect! :lol:

disable bubble notification on incoming call

Hi all,
I'm new in ppc community (I bought a Trinity and I'm really happy with it ^^).
I searched everywhere to find a solution to disable bubble notifications when an incoming call comes but I found nothing else than same question but no answer
I searched on msdn, forums, google... for some days (...week) but nothing...
I know that some people here made an Apple like incoming call software to show a big photo of dialer... can you please help me to find a solution ?
I'm coding with vb.net but I'm open to try with other language (C++ for example).
All I need is a clue
Thanks for all
Steeve

"You will need a registry editor to change disable the notification. Download one free at www.phm.lu. You do this at your own risk.
Open the editor and go to HKey_Local_User\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings. Click Menu - New Dword value. Set value name to SMSNoSentMsg and value data to 1.
Restart your device."
Have ti stored on my storage card using resco to export, but thats all u gotta do for sms

Thanks for your trick but this is not what we are looking for. Me (and I think the two others) want to disable incoming call and sms notification. And that's not possible to disable them with the registry

You can change that easy, just the incomming call have not that option there. Go to start/settings/sounds & Notifications, There choose notifications and you can set there -> display message on screen

Download 'HD tweak' to tweak the registry settings for shorter delay before phone rings etc.

to sort using "firstname, last name" FOR ALL CONTACTS you would need to do so in Desktop's Outlook. i dont' think mobile outlook (aka contacts) have this option, unless you want to do ONE BY ONE. I haven't tried this, because I always use "last name, first name"
as for the delay in answering call, the previous poster is right, install HD Tweak, and you can modify the delay in answer calls. it works quite well. also the slider to answer/ignore the call is a little buggy, it lags when you try to slide while the phone is ringing. i would suggest S2U2's slider, it is very lean and fast.

This how you do it to be First Last name however it is quite boring because you have to do it to each entry in your contacts list on your HD.
1- On your touchFlo3D People tab select “All People”
2- The first contact well be highlighted in green hit “Menu” then “Edit”
3- Change the “File as” entry to be First Last name.
Now the contact item will be stored and listed as First Last name.
You can see why I said it is boring because you have to do it for your contacts one by one.
I hope this is what you wanted

outlook can do that

Hi - I've only had the HD a few weeks and of all the things I've seen on this forum, the only really niggling thing I've found with the standard install on my HD is the contacts issue mentioned in this thread. I'm sync-ing all my calendar, mail and contacts with Lotus Notes (using Lotus Notes Traveller). In Lotus Notes I have got all the contacts entered with their first names and last names, but then in the options I have selected "firstname lastname" as the view style. I am amazed that Windows mobile doesn't have this option?
If I WERE to go through every single contact entry and change the "file as" to the right format, would this synchronise back to Lotus Notes and cause any problems? Or is it just a setting on the device itself? Is there no global device setting to change the view style?

I made a post about this yesterday.

I have the same frustration and created my own program to fix the contacts, even allowing for your own custom formats and using the Company Name field. I hope you find it helpful!

Blackstone ringtones options

Hi ,
my problem is that i cant find how can i assign a ringtone to a group .
in that matter , where can i control the group and its features ?
does HTC HD have something or i have to install some app ?
Thanks !

you can install 3rd party application like "VipRingTone"

i have to install application ?
there is no built in from HTC ?

I think you only can assign either a default or individual ring tones.
There is no group/category option that I know of as standard.
I used to use Contacts Pro to assign different categories a ring tone (like work colleagues) and also have individual ring tones to overide the categories one.
Unfortunately, the Contacts Pro does not work on my HD.

Use 'VipRingTone'.
This applications loops through your contacts and changes the ringtone for the contacts which matches the selected group.
So no application runs on the background and uses any resources.
Works great.

Hi
BIG THANKS - this works well (if a little slow).
That's a great program to assign ring tones to categories.
The only thing it does not do which Contacts Pro did was assign a ring tone for "unknown" callers where the number does not come through. But, of course, that is because this program works on the known callers in Outlook.
A great find - THANKS, D.
