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.

Calling a number from a Calendar note

Hey everyone.
I've been using WM since the XDA2 then moved to a dopod 838 pro and am now using the Touch Diamond. The one thing I've never been able to do and really could use is the ability to call a number entry in the notes of a calendar entry.
I've done a search on the forums but I can't locate anything regarding it.
I tend to use my calendar for all of my appointments but if I have to call someone with the phone number stored in the notes of the calendar entry, I have to physically write the number down and then flick to the dialer to make the call. And I've had to do that for years. Now that I've found you guys I have to ask...is there a way around this?
Thanks in advance for any help you can throw my way and a Big thanks to all the devs here making my Diamond the best PPC I've owned.
EDIT: I should explain what I'm asking for a little better. You know how a number comes up highlighted in a text message or notes and all you have to do is tap on the highlighted number and it launches the dialer? That's what I really need in the notes of a calendar appointment.

i also need that.
and i could swar that this worked already in earlier versions

Barring any other solutions, you could copy and paste the number into the dialer, instead of having to write it down. I doubt there are any tweaks to make it a clickable link.

Thanks...the copy and paste option is better than nothing. I'd actually never thought to use it after all these years.
Still, a clickable link in the notes would be ideal. I'm sure if I ask M$ nicely, they'll be more than happy to add it to the next version of WM.

Please please help - Caller ID/Incoming Call Prob

Guys,
I've posted this before but nobody has helped me yet.
Basically put I have a couple of contacts for which I have more than one contact number (home, Mobile etc..)
Anyway, when i receive a call from one of these contacts, the name is not resolved, the picture is not shown and the custom ringtone I have chosen (all by vanilla stock rom means) does not ring!!
I have seen this happen with "Exact" matches to contacts in my Contacts list and also if I have entered the number as "+447760....." instead of using the default "07760...." prefix for UK mobile numbers (as I'm abroad a lot so need to use that to dial them) it also refuses to recognise that they are in fact the same number - something my Artemis did without an issue.
Please help me resolve this - it's ruining my HD experience!
Thanks

21 views and no replies - come on guys please - going on a trip tomorrow and I need this to be sorted if poss - doing my head in!!

I had exactly the same problem on my X1, which I have now sold so I could get a HD. I was on o2 uk using itje's 5.061 rom. What network are you on and which rom and what software have you installed? maybe something we both installed is causing the problem

Right, I'm on a stock rom on an unbranded Touch HHD on the Vodafone network. Programs I've installed are as follows:
Changscreen,
HDTweak
Advanced Config
S K Tools
Battlog
Fingerkeyboard
Resco file Explorer
Very strange - it might have happened since I restored a backup but I doubt it.

Try reducing Phone>Call ID match number in Advanced Config.

I have similar problem... Just installed dutty 3.0X and when i sinchronized all my contacts become duplicated, so i deleted manual only the first ones. And now when someone from the contacts is ringing i dont get picture or his name and I am sure that i have the same number in the contact list. Odd

Anyone have any other ideas about this? Still causing me some considerable pain - I seem to recall it started after I started to reconcile the outlook contacts with my PC - this may have caused a different contact ID (or something?)

same problem and no solutoin... :-(

i managed to fix this by reassigning the phone numbers to the contacts page. It seems to occur when you use 3rd party contact management apps before you have assigned numbers.
Works fine now

mslookout inserts spaces into phone number, and prolly phone cannot recognise incoming number having spaces in phonebook?

I also cant fix it by changing CallIDMatch in the registry. It's bizarre as I have 2 contacts in my favourites: both are now set to No's starting with '0' yet when one texts me, their name shows and when the other does, their number shows. hard and soft resets have also failed to resolve this, HTC helpdesk no use at all, also logged with Windows helpdesk in case it is a microsoft, not htc, problem.
Am keen for other things to try, open to suggestions....
Am disappinted and amazed that what is otherwise a great phone, can't do what cheap cr*ppy phones, can , ie show the name of the person calling or texting.

Have you tried using Advanced Config and increasing Call ID match to 9 or 10?

No caller name when receiving Incoming Call
This may be an old thread, but sometimes the newer ROMs also have the same problem.
This happened to me after updating my from from WM 6.1 to WEH 6.5.3. So, I am updating this thread on how I resolved my problem.
Step 1. Edit the Registry and change the CallIDMatch value to 7 (the original value was 10).
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone]
"CallIDMatch"=dword:00000007
Step 2. Soft Reset (power off and restart)
Before I did this, I needed to copy my contacts from SIM to the Outlook Contacts list, so in my Contacts list, I have "double view" of both lists on the same screen - frustrating.
After this change of the Registry key value, I erased all my contacts from the Outlook Contacts list (use the Hide Sim Contacts function) because I prefer to have my default contacts to be from the SIM card instead of the Outlook Contacts. This way, I can be assured that all newer contacts will be stored on the SIM card and I do not have to worry about losing contacts if I change phones.

Customize phone contacts: add more cell numbers

Hi all, there is a way to add more cell numbers to the same contact? I can choose between home, fax, office but I need only to record a second number as second cell number. Not possible modifing default tabs?
Excuse me for my bad english..
Thanks!

Yeah, I second that plea.

yea i was wondering if this was possible but had no luck finding a way

I have the same issue too, I even tried to find if it exists in outlook and then synchronize it with my topaz, but it's not in outlook either.
I use the same trick to change the "file as" for contacts different than what HTC has in the drop down list.

[Q] No function to hide caller id ponctually ? (app to hide number except contact)

Hello,
I was on windows mobile, and I used a basic function which can hide my callerID to all numbers out of my contact list, very usefull to show me to all my contacts and not my customers.
I searched on the phone such an option but nothing, so I don't worry I go to the Market thinking a very simple function must exist there, but nothing...
I open my computer search about it and see a message that someone try this but can't find function in the SDK for the caller ID ?
Is there a way to do it (even if i have to do the app but I don't want to lose many hours to understand android coding if it's simply impossible !)
Thanks a lot if you have an idea on the question.

Hi!
On gsm networks you can add #31# at the beginning of the phone number to hide caller ID. In US use *67 (untested).

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I`m looking for the same thing. One simple application that can hide my ID by pressing one button.
I`ve looked everywhere.Googled,searched Market and nothing. All apps are for US users. Prefix #31# or 141 doesnt work in UK. At least in O2 UK. Dont know about others.
So PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE anyone who know anything about Android apps to make something that might help. I`m tired of going to settings and hiding my ID everytime i want to speak with my customers

I am using cm7 and in the call settings there is a setting for caller id. You can have it be private public or network determined.
I do agree that it would be a great app to have your id hidden to people outside of your address book. I think it would have to be an alternative dialer though
