Hi everyone, I've searched high and low for this answer and i haven't found it yet... is there anyway to increase the size of the caller id picture w/ dcd's most recent rom. somehow the contact pictures are smaller on the caller id w/ dcd's rom vs. the original sprint one....
Thanks in advance!
come on guys... i know someone has to know.....
Check out Photo Contacts http://www.pocketx.net/smartphone/photocontacts.html
actually all i am looking for is to get the caller id back to normal size like the original sprint rom... dcd's rom shrinks the caller id size... so does anyone have a hack to get it back to normal?
Actually I believe DCD's is using the "standard" caller ID tool. Sprint probably has a modified one for their rom.
My original rom from USCC looks just like DCD's.

well for some reason when i'm on dcd's rom the caller id picture is smaller than the official sprint rom... anyone have any clues as to why or how i can get it back to normal... reg hack?
Do you mean that the caller id when you dial or receive calls is on the left with the number and really small, instead of on the right in the square box where it is supposed to be. Thats what happens to me. Its happened b4 with dcd roms. If xda wasnt so slow right now I'd search some of the dcd rom release threads. I do know that I had the Qwest official update rom with the same dialer in a cab version and it displayed correctly.
What I found odd is when you get an MMS message the contact's picture is next to it on the screen display with the "new mms from...." alert, but not for SMS alerts.
check out s2u has a great caller id pic shows on whole screen

Is it only me, or does the inbuilt Caller ID app that HTC provides suck rather large rocks?
My ROM is pretty recent (unlocked 1.12 WWE), and the Caller ID says it is version 1.20 (Build 18567), but I have the following problems with it:
- Very slow to load my 200 contacts
- Very difficult to find a contact. Click one of the short-cut letter combinations at the top, and it seems to go to a random contact
- Type in a letter/combination, and it finds that letter/combination in every contact (ie RE gives me fREd), rather than using that as the first two letters in a name
- Overall very slow and sluggish to respond to anything. It would be quicker to call Directory Enquiries and then type the letters in using my toes
- Unless I start it (and its running in the background), I don't get any of the PhotoID on ringing functionality
- Setting the font size of the incoming call has no effect - the name still comes up in microscopically small font.
Any suggestions? Shall I unmap the contacts button and use the default Microsoft contacts manager (without any of the cool pictures/ringtones functionality), or is there an update or an alternative?
Thanks, guys

I've some issues with it as well.
When I try to change the storage path for photoid files, my CallerID keeps crashing.
Is there a registry location where I can change this? I've tried finding it in the registry but I failed at it
I gave up on the HTC version it really is slow, bug ridden and generally crap.
Try Photo contacts instead, its fast, easy to set-up and doesn't alter contacts when you attach pictures as instead of being attached they are simply referenced by the name you store the contact under.
E.g. If your contact is Joe Bloggs then the contact picture is bloggs,joe and it will display full screen too!!!!!
It's slow and buggy memory hug and has ****ty functionality. Don't install this (ie. by preventing from customization) unless you are planning to use ArcSoft MMS 2.5.
I agree its slow but never found a bug with it (until now with the GPRS problem).
Its the best photo contacts software I have seen for the imate and good for when you're in the car with its full screen id and large display of contacts to dial.
Unless you know of another program which is better?
I did just find this, it's pretty cool, I like the fat-finger only use....

So I thought this was pretty interesting. I installed this software today and overall I really like it until the first time I try to sync and I get the old "Unable to connect..." error message. This is the first time I have gotten this message in over a month since doing the downgrade but it is also the first time since then I have installed a prgram that was some sort of contact/caller ID related software.
I uninstalled this program and it seems the error message has gone away..... wierd
nothing better than this : http://www.pocketx.net/products/photocontactspro_ppc/#photocallerid
Tried every program that is related to photo contact and photo dialing. And I came to one conclusion, they all suck.
There is really no program that doesn't slow your ppc down or give an error of somekind...
Uninstall HTC Caller ID
Does anyone know how to uninstall HTC caller ID. When I go into remove programs on my PPC, HTC Caller ID is not listed. I installed it from a cab file that I downloaded here! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I don't know to uninstall it but there is a way not to install it, but you have to do a hard reset. See instructions here http://pocketpcdubai.infopop.cc/groupee/forums/a/tpc/f/582600994/m/237102159/r/237102159#237102159
Question for Jarek
Why should you use PhotoContacts if you use ArcSoft MMS 2.5?
I also don't like the PhotoContacts prog but don't want to spoil anything else.
Thanks

1. delete the IA_CID_Startup shortcut file from the \windows\startup directory
2. delete the IA_CID_Startup from the \windows dir.
I think the Caller ID function of this program is decent, but there is no way to backup/restore your photo/ringtone assignments which really sucks. So after every hard reset you have to do it all over again..... :evil:
After I came to this forum and so tired of the htc caller ID I decided to give a try to photo contact as bruxelles5 suggested, and I have to confess that it did impressed me. It was been working perfectly, photos stored in sd card so after hard reset I don't have to set it up again, full screen image and picture arrangement. Very good *****
PS: I got rid of caller ID with anansky method and got 27 mgs store!
Photo Contacts bug?
Does anyone else have a bug in Photo Contacts Pro like me: I have to pick up the phone useing touchsceen button otherwise (with hardware button) both me and caller(!!!) hear nasty "fragmented" end of ringtone wich rings (ca 1 sec) AFTER pressing the button
It doesn't seem to depend on location of ringtones folder (main memory, storage card)...
BTW, all the ringtones are in wma-format. Should I try another format?
Any thoughts?
PS Sorry for my English
SOLVED: Mort, thank you very much for your MortRing!!!
I have this problem as well with the ring tone blasting into the caller's ears when using the hardware button to answer. Do you mind sharing what you did to solve that?
How can you choose which of the caller ID apps opens when a call comes in?

Just try this s/w http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=20711&highlight=mortring
I'm happy with MortRing as I don't need Photo ID on my phone but I like to assign individual ringtones very much
It is unbelievable that HTC ships products with this crap. Even a cheap cellphone has better Caller ID functionality. Not only is the program very slow when editing, you can't backup/restore your ringtone/photo assignments. Caller ID doesn't work 50% of the time, and after a lot of troubleshooting, I have not reached a firm conclusion as to why. The only credible explanation I found was in the XDA-developers forum and it simply seems that unless you have plenty of free resourses the program won't work. And still, I have an upgraded Jam (128 MB).
This is very very sad. I miss the solid performance of my iPaq.
Yes I did use search. A lot. Got quite late.
The only dialpad skin that's actually working for the Magician... is the xpad,
or is there another one around?
The thing is that I actually found some after lots of searching, just that
they only replace a part of the dialpad and the upper left section is always
messed up, or just that part is fine (when installing wm 5 dialpad skins).
What about that Caller ID program? I didn't see it mentioned too often around here. Does anybody use it? Is there a better program (or can you grab the one of the Tytn e.g.?)
How can I get rid of it? (I wouldn't want to Hardreset...)
One last thing - what cab file sets up the connection settings for O2 Germany MMS?
The folder's there, I can go online sufing via IE, but sending/receifing of MMS isn't possible (yeah, it's already been activated) - any advice?
Thanks.
Hi all
I have bought a second hand O2 XDA mini s G3 & so far everything has been great, but there has been one thing nagging at me. When I go into "settings/phone" to change the ring tone the top line on the sceen says "Phone - 07924******".
The reason it nags me is that it is not my number , does anyone know how to change this.
I have put my info in the Owner Info but it made no difference.
TIA
Jon
now really confused
I flashed the rom to wm6 & it has displayed a slightly different number to the one above, are the numbers installed by the rom?
put my daughters virgin sim in & it displays no number, so has my O2 sim have the wrong number encoded into it?
any ideas anyone?
i researched on Phonex 1.3 for the caller id problem which is i finding the caller id number appearing whenever theres a incoming call is straining on my eyes. but i saw the screenshots that the Phonex will actually add-on alot of icons and programs on the panel that i using. is there any program that only enlarges the caller id and nothing else?
read from the forum ppl saying about the antenna on the bottom back of the phone, suggesting pasting a clear body protection on the back. any recommendation on the brands to use? does it affect the screen sensitivity?
thanks

Phonex can be configured to not add the icons to the Today Screen and still have the display for incoming calls. For me, the reason I bought Phonex was the dialer, it eliminated the fustration I was having using the default dialer for conference calls.
-- Mike
so i can still use my SE panel without any changes to the layout? just the incoming call layout will be changed?
thanks
Try " Photo Contacts Pro 5.11 " . I'm using it since a few days and all is customizable. I wanted a program to enlarge the call id screen only, and this can be configured for that. Best regards
oh can give it a try, any other users of this application have any other comment?
btw the file is not attached.
i try to research on the program but only available in trial version which stated expiring in 5 days. any1 able to attach full version?
Sorry I had problems to attach. Here is the link for the program.
http://rapidshare.com/files/208351363/Photo.Contacts.Prov5.11.Full.cab

thanks.
sorry if you dont mind can u paste the file directly? coz i got problem downloading anything from that rapidshare site. everything i try there also cannot download. sorry
I'm not able to attach the file. If you send me your email by private message, I'll send it to you. Best regards.
given. thanks
ok. i think i PMed u with my email. please reply here if u did not receive my PM. thanks
hey friend. how come i cant open the file on my phone. is there any .cab version?
I sent to you a RAR file. Extract it using WINRAR or another similar program and you'll get a CAB file.
oh ok. sorry for noob questions.
This appears to be a problem for some people but not others. I cannot find a definite fix on the posts I have read, hoping someone has found a working solution, so started a thread for just this issue.
I have just installed Dutty's R10 WM6.5 ROM on my Touch HD, and only have that and S2U2 version 2.04 installed on top, and whenever I get an incoming call when the screen is locked, the call comes through fine, caller ID and all but I cannot answer it. WHen I go to slide to answer, the S2U2 app and the dialers own slide screen is fighting for priority. I seem to be able to answer on occasion if I repeatedly tap the answer hardware key, but this doesn't always work.
I have tried swapping the settings around, and disabling the S2A, but then the other green and red keys appear and still cannot answer. Also tried the suggestion of adding S2U2 to the boitouch exemptions list in the registry with no success.
Anyone had the same issues and fixed or knows of a patch or workaround?

Same here. I may have found a workaround.
Just disable Caller ID on S2U2 and let the 6.5 handle incoming calls with Caller ID.
I tested, seem to work fine for me. You should try it and feedback here.
Yes, disabling the Caller ID from within S2U" worked, fantastic!!!
Does anyone know why the Caller ID now doesn't work using Duttys R10 and S2U2? Previous ROMs (think they were all WM6.1 though) have worked..

Probably just the updated WM base used. These OEM's keep moving and it's prbably hard for AC to keep up with S2U2.
glad you found a fix....
I was in a similar boat... I have a T8285 for use of 3g in US, but I cant answer incoming calls when i leave the phone with 3g on and locked when the call is received. just passes the call to be missed, all the while i keep sliding the bar to answer. the hotfix from htc made it worse... just made the dialer screen all screwy.
I posted the problem in both miri and dutty threads that are of which i use, but neither are the actual culprit.
sooo I tried S2U2 and disabled caller id, as suggested in this thread, but this didnt fix it. after searching for weeks, i've been stuck leaving my phone on edge.
sorry for the sob story. i envy that you fixed something and i haven't lol.

A number of HTC hotfixes had similar affect with my phone, i.e. made dialer all screwed up. I generally don't use them as they get implemented into the latest roms anyhow.
Which rom are you using at present? Have you tried posting your query into the S2U2 thread. Your most likely going to get more accurate response from someone who uses that software

S2u2 is new to me, so I haven't had the chance; I'll check that dedicated thread shortly.
Currently I use miri WM 6.5 23009. I've posted in that rom development thread and read it almost thoroughly (1K+ pages!).
If you turn on "windows dialer" instead "slide to answer" everything works fine even with "caller ID-> ON".The only thing with windows dialer you can't see the call history in dialer but if you use call history button the history shows fine.
I'm using duttys6.5 r9 turbo
Solved.
Hello
With new S2U2 version 2.12 is solved. Even with htc dialer, even with Caller ID, etc.
I had the same problem with Rom 6.5. But now is ok.
Regards.
Cure.
