caller i.d sometimes doesn't show ?

Hi all, I've got a strange problem that I haven't found posted here before, sometimes, not always, when one of my contacts calls me the phone will display the number instead of the persons name.
Has anyone seen this before ? am I doing something daft ? and / or is there a way round this.
TIA

from what i understand sometimes it gets closed down and is automaticly restarted after awhile
showing that odd icon shortly
if you recieve a call while it's shut down then it dont display

If you have a problem and it doesn;t load, then go to /Windows folder find IA_Caller_exe make a shortcut to it and place it either in the Start menu folder, or the Star up folder (if itsn;t already there)...
When you see your problem hit the Start menou shortcut and it is once again reloaded...
It is not a solution, but still an answer to your problem...

i think it have something to do with the 32process thing on all the devices maybe the new rom have more processses and so have to close stuff down more often

I got the same issue when I installed the Microsoft Voice Command 1.5. It announce the name but I did not see the name displayed during the incoming call. I disable the name announcement features from MS Voice Command and now everything is fine.

My Caller id is always show when someone calling me..
but all times the Answer Call and Ignore ..are on the photo!! it is really annoing me.
When i do a preview in photo contact it shows all perfect..but then.. :?
What version are you using guys?
My os Win2k3Se 2.20

Any solution to solve Caller ID?

Answering calls delay

There is a 2 sec delay between hitting the "ANSWER" key and getting/starting to send my voice to caller.
It's annoying that i have to wait about 2 seckonds till i can say HEY.
What program can i use to remove this annoying bug
or can i just use other kind of phone software?
(i used phonex and it was faster, delay was about 0,5 sec)
By default, there's a 3 sec delay between hitting the END key and dropping the call,
that can be adjusted by advanced configuration tool. set mine to 0 sec.

Would it be possible to put up a link to advanced config tool software that you are using?
I can't seem to find the setting on v2 and v3.0+ wont work because of some .net framework problem.
Thanks

h2kk, do you happen to have any idea whats the "keyboard layout" which is default: custom ? Is it the onscreen or hardware keyboard?

Seems like no one cares about the MOST IMPORTANT feature: PHONE
Beleive it or not, lots of people use X1 to make and receive calls,
and if that feature is buggy, then, i'd rather have that fixed, than use touch flow from htc hd.
Or is there a thread somewhere and i just don't seem to find it?

Have you tried searching rather than expect someone to do your work for you.
Ive just typed "call delay after answer" into the search and come up with this lot.
http://www.google.com/cse?cx=000825...nswer&sa=Search&cof=FORID:0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
There's a lot of discussion over this on loads of different phones, some people believe it's the processor struggling, (too many progs running etc) but I'd hope not with a device this quick,
I haven't had this happen to me yet, touch wood etc...
others seem to think it's a variety of things, you could try this.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone]
"CallProgressIdleTimeout"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\PHONE\PhoneExtendS etting]
"EndCallTime"=dword:00000000

Fix described in the link above was for Windows Mobile 5, but hopefully it will do the trick for you. Let me know if it works.. If so, I'll use it when my phone arrives!!

Should the "CallProgressIdleTimeout" value be predefined in the registry? Because for me it wasn't there. I created an object an set it to "0000" but it didn't help anything. I still have approximately 1,5 seconds delay after hitting the answer-button before the call gets connected.

nah dont use that one, it's for the delay in the phone ringing, but will mess a few things up soundwise on the X1 I think.

fards
I actually searched and didn't find a solution.
Tried google again but all the results lead nowhere.
Also i have allready changed my registry (don't have the callprogressidletimeout though)
Rahul3000
This fix only makes the phone ring instantly, that's not our problem here.
I'll say it again. The reason why i started this thread is:
When i used Phonex software, then answering calls was a lot faster
I'm willing to uninstall the default dialer/phone application (still don't know how to do that)
and use phonex or any other fast piece of software. (phonex freezes my phone)

What phone skin/dialer are you using ? the stock SE one?
you can revert to the default WM one by changing this key.
hklm/security/phone/skin/enabled to 0 and reboot.
try that, if it changes things then it might be worth changing the caches as the both the manilla (tf3d) and SE dialler take up a fair bit of memory, what do you have those set at?
I'm quite interested in what's causing it, as I don't have this problem on my phone
Phonex looks quite nice,

Help delayed texts

Before anyone flames me I know this is in the wrong section, and i'm aware that technically XDA Developers is for HTC only, however i'm hoping someone can help.
I've recently aquired a Sony Ericsson Xperia X2, however it has one really annoying fault. When the phone is in standby and you recieve an SMS you do not get any notifications etc until you wake the phone up. I've read on the forum this is a fault with some other devices caused by the phone not waking on recieved SMS's.
Does anyone know the reg edit I need to perform to make the phone wake up on recieving a text message?
Thanks in advance

Incidentally, most people are happy to help non-HTC users, if they can. You're just better off asking in the general forums, rather than a phone-specific one.

Thanks, this is going to sound off but the key 'DisableSMSWakeUpEvent' isn't present in that directory. Would adding it in solve it?

I'm not sure, to be honest. I just checked my HD2, and it's there with a value of 0 and my phone does wake up when I get an SMS, so give it a go. (I guess you already know this, but you'll need to restart after making the change).

Yeah just tried it, doesn't make any difference, the phone still fails to wake up on an SMS event

"Speak" caller id

Hi All,
First question from me. I have just moved to the TD2 from nokia n95. On the N95 you could set it so that is would say the callers id when they rang. So, I had a short ring tone that would play, then it would say the name and cycle.
Does any body know if it is possible (or how to do it) on the TD2.
thanks for your help and ideas.
cheers

Use Voice Command...START-SETTINGS-PERSONAL-VOICE COMMAND
if it is installed on your device.

thanks jdwilson,
it is not installed on my device - do you know how I would get it?

Search on this forum or Google.

Well, I have got it installed and working for everything but the caller id (despite all the things ticked and setting the bits from other threads). If anybody has any great ideas they will be welcomed, but I will play.
It certainly allows a gap in the tone, but the phone is silent, then the tone starts up again, so I think it is trying to do it.

Use this:
http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=249&cat=0&dl_id=673

But can it be used on other ROM versions?
I was never clear what, exactly, this update did - and since HTC said it could only be applied to a ROM version that pre-dated mine (and 6.5) I never found out!
If this 'fixes' any issue for Caller ID is it applicable to WM6.5???

thank fighter for the suggestion, but my rom version is not suitable

Read this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=561303

thanks again fighter, my caller id displays fine it is just not annouced.

When you open Voice Command, and select the phone option, on the right side of the screen, is a notification button, select that, then you will have 3 options for the announcement, make sure you select the one you want.

Yes, I have tried all of the options in notification, thanks. I will keep digging.

NetCallerID does not work in all countries and has no audio, but as an alternatieve;

You can also download the cab file from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5485644&postcount=44
I never tried the cab but it should work.

Thanks for the help.
my version is 1.60.4622.0
I have tried most of the settings in the first link (and some others in another thread).
The control cab generates errors (I have installed mortscript)
I was wondering if the system was not putting the ttscallerid.wav in the volatile, so I am trying to search the the phone for the file, I have not found it yet - using activesync and explorer.
Still digging, but the other features are quite good.

REALLY loud ring-tone

Hi Everyone,
This is my first post, so please be gentle with me. I have had a little search around, and still can't find a solution to my problem.
I recently flashed to Oz rom 1.5 , and I'm on radio 2.07.50.27_2.
So basically no matter what setting I put the volume to, my ringtone and notifications are always the loudest they can be (obviously not if its on silent or vibrate) I have tried changing ringtone back to the default one, and its exactly the same. Is there a reg edit I can do? Does anyone else suffer from this?
Let me know your thoughts!
Cheers

You can have it set to have different volumes for system sounds and ringtones.
When you click one of the volume buttons, do you have "System" and "Ring" tabs at the top of the page? If you do, make sure you're on the ring one to set ringtone volume. This can also be done from the "Sound & Display" options on the settings tab.
Hope this helps mate

Thanks johncmolyneux, I've already tried that and it makes no difference. I have it set so there is only one volume control (so system and ringtone volume is combined) ... any other ideas?

Sorry mate, I know that was a bit of an obvious thing to check, but you never know on here
I guess my only advice would be to go back to the ROM thread and ask there. Maybe it's a problem with that.

no prob mate... I have asked there as well and the chef wasn't sure either...
are there any registry things I can check? I was thinking maybe my phone thinks 'level 1' on the volume is actually 'level 5' or something?
its so annoying-scares the life out of me every time someone calls!

Having never had a problem with this myself, I've got no idea where this particular data is stored. It does sound like something that would live in the registry though, so I'm sure that someone on here will be able to help you out. There's some walking encyclopaedias of Windows registry on here! lol
Good luck getting it sorted mate.

any one out there now where in the registry I should look?
cheers in advance!
