[Q] Contact sort sequence in BT car handfree - HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an

Can anyone tell me, how i can change the sort sequence in my car free address list? I can't change it there and didn't find a posibility to change it in WP7.
It must be some kind of registry hack.

i think you might need to be a bit more specific regarding your problem
The only settings i know of on WP7.5 are in
PEOPLE>SETTINGS then scroll down and you have
Sort list by
&
Display names by
Good luck

in the PEOPLE>SETTINGS menu I entered to Sort by lastname and show by lastname, but the car Handfree shows the contacts sorted by first name after contact synchronisation. I didn't have this with the xbmod bttf 2.1.

Now the BT headset can show the Caller ID Name!

Found this link from a post in Wizard section yesterday:
http://www.jetwaremobile.com/index.htm
As the doc says this extension has a SIM access profile, I tried this BT extension on my Universal and a Bluetooth Headset SE HBH-662 that has a Caller ID screen. With this BT extension, now the BT headset can show the Caller ID Name IF the contact name and number exists in the SIM card.
However, it will not show any caller name if the contact only exists in Outlook Contacts.
My test also shows, the number stored in the SIM card has to be exactly the same with one sent over by the operator, otherwise it will not show the caller name. Ex. if the operator sends over the caller number as 171xxxxxx and the number stored in the SIM is 71xxxxxxxx then it will not work. Same thing if the number stored in the SIM is +171xxxxxxx and the operator sends the number 1713xxxxxx then it wil not work as well.
I kind of like to use the format +171xxxxxxxx as this is the international format.
Anyway, this is great, as most people have been waiting for this function to work out of their caller ID BT headset. Now, if we can find out how to make it work to access the Outlook Contact, then its perfect...
Can you report back on your experiences with this? I'm reluctant to install it unless it's proved to work and be reliable with my Jabra BT800.

Hi guys !
I'm just trying it in my 9000 with Jabra BT 800
In the site linked by lie_ui I read:
Configuration
The JETware Hands-free Extension allows control of the phonebook and messaging information that is provided to Hands-free devices. To configure these options run the Hands-free Config application which is installed in the Bluetooth Options folder in your start menu.
I don't find any new icon or service and i can't see the caller number
Have you tried this application ?
:wink:
I believe in Jwright's Modified ROM there is an application called "SIM Access" that allows this. I was not able to try it because I don't have a headset with caller name capability. I forgot to copy the "BT SIM Access" application, but already tried it on the latest QTEK ROM a month ago and the application worked fine.
Thanks cktlcmd
Now i search for "Sim Access" in the forum
I keep you update :wink:

If you go to Start Menu\programs you'll find the Bluetooth options folder. By the way, don't forget to soft reset first.
I've tried with Parrot CK3100 and now I have the battery and network signal strenght status as well as network name. I'm expecting someone to try with BT800 and to report it.
i've tried out the software i must say i'm impressed that it actually displaying caller's name. however my main problem now is my i cant activate voice dial now. before the software if i was to push the button the headset voice dialin would kick in. but after installin it, caller id works but the voice dialings malfunction. is anyone else having this problem as well?

Yes, same happens to me.
I have the HBH-662, after installing the software the button on my headset does nothing when pushed, unless it is pushed for answering a call, although the name gets displayed when getting a call, provided that the name is on the SIM card.
The other bad thing about it is, if the name is NOT in the sim, it does not display the number, it displays "Unknown" on the headset!
Good step in the right direction though, now it only needs a few tweaks!
Cheers

on my bt800 don´t show the name of the caller
Same here on my BT800 no name just number
hi,
i've tried out the software but i can't activate voice dial now. how can do?

Try checking your "Notifiaction Que". There should only be one sddaemon file. If there is a duplicate then delete it. I use MemMaid for this.
please give me a hand to resolve this problem with vocal dialing.

As I mentioned above, the last time I had a problem with voice dialing was when a duplicated "Notification Que": sddaemon file to be exact, was present. Just delete the duplicated sddaemon file, soft reset, and pair your BT headset again. I used MemMaid's Notification Que to clear duplicated files. I hope this is clear enough.
ok i'll test your suggest....thank you.
excuse me for bad english, i don't speak well this language!
i'm italian
nothing..
not vocal dialing
BT extention
I have another problem in addition to the voice dial problem...... whenever I receive a call from soneone who is using a service provider other than my service provider the device hangs and I have to soft rest the device provided that all the contacts are stored in my SIM card.
Great achievement indeed!!! A first step into a long waited direction
However decided to uninstall it from my Universal, waiting for a new release.
In fact some improvements are required to make it really useful.
I've tried it with my Jabra BT800.
A few issues that I've noticed,
Name displayed, only if:
[list:cca8e10c8e]
Contact present into SIM card.
Outlook phonebook not being used (at least with BT800) despite announced as a feature.
In order for the correspondent name to be displayed, number must be stored into Contacts, exactly as sent by the Operator.
- Some operators do not send the '+CountryCode'.
- This may originate different behaviours for instance depending if user is at Roaming or not.
- Some sort of algorithm would be welcomed to add some "intelligence" here.
[*]If received phone number is not present into SIM card, or not exactly with the same format, 'Unknown' is displayed even in the event of a number being sent... :shock:
The number received should be displayed at these circumstances.
[*]Whenever a Contact name gets displayed, only its first 8 characters are shown.
Much better if complete name contained at Contact, would scroll continuously. :idea:
[*]Voice Speed Dial not working, if JETware Mobile Software is installed.
This is a must, to be solved![/list:cca8e10c8e]
Eagerly waiting for a next release
I agree with the summary listed above. As I listed already in the very beginning of this posting what I found. Yes, its also true that Voice Dialing is not longer working once this app is installed. I did not have Voice Dialing enabled indeed, I tweak the registry so that on the push of the button on the BT headset, it will turn on the BT headset to accept any sound from the PDA instead (I use this for VoIP application).
And now this is not longer working, so similar synthom with the Voice Dialing app.
Once last thing, I cannot uninstall this app.
So for those that have not tried it yet but insterested to try, I would recommend not to try it, just read what we have found so far here, and do not need to repeat the same experience.
Hopefully those guys who write this app read this posting as well and will make the fix.
Not to rain on anyone's parade, but my JAM with its lowly Windows 2003 Mobile SE has been showing the contact name if it exists on the SIM without any modifications on my SE HBH-662.
I made this observation about a year ago on HoFo and six or so months ago right here on XDA-Dev.
This is interesting to say the least.

Quick contacts bug with HTC Home Plugin

I tried searching thorugh the xda forums for an original HTC Home Plugin thread, but couldn't locate one, so i'll start here and maybe someone can forward me to the right place.
I have contacts in my contact list that just have a Company name, and not a first or last name.
The problem is that these contacts cannot be added to the quick dial area of the HTC Home Plugin, it will allow you to select it, but it doesn't show up, and you are unable to click that entry to dial the number. However, if you go edit that contact and add a first / last name, then it magically shows up on the quick dial.
Does anyone know of a bug fix / workaround for getting contacts with just a company name to show up? (And please don't say add a first / last name, that's obviously a solution, but not a fix.)
Any way to also have the phone number displayed on the screen as well when selecting a contact?
If you have multiple numbers on a contact, it just lists the contact 3 times.
J.D.
put the company name in the name field and then change file as: to the company name and it won't change it to look like a name

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

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!

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.

Anyone else with caller ID problems?

Hi there, I'm wondering if anyone else might be having a similar problem with 'caller [or texter] ID'.
Most networks, as I understand it, use the international dialing code when sending out texts and calls, meaning this is usually the incoming number when you recieve a text or call.
I've obviously got people programmed into my contacts who text me but when they do, I don't get their name, I get their number - with the dialling code eg. +447750500500. When I tap to go into the threaded mode, I'll get all previous contact with this person but with them identified only as the number. However if I head to the People tab, then again to see the messages I've sent/recieved with that person, I get the same messages only under the banner of their name and not the number.
I believe calls work fine with the code programmed in on their contact profile.
Anyone know why this is being caused?
I have the same problem. Both calls and text messages.
I don't think it matters if the international code is there or not.
Really frustrating not knowing who calls.
I've had this problem first time the device was initialized (right after opening the box). It might be caused by the fact I didn't have any SIM in it at that time, I'm not sure.
After a hard reset with a SIM inserted, everything started working as it's supposed to.
Hmm, I've changed the SIM, but I can't remember if it worked wih the first SIM card.
But a hard reset deletes everything, right?
There are a few things you have to be sure of:
Do not have double contacts, if you have a number (with and without operator/country prefix) twice in your list it will not show any name.
I don't know if this applies if you have a contact on your phone memory and on your sim card. I am sure it does have this problem if you have two contacts with the same number on the memory phone.
For some reason this is logic: On an incoming call, the phones checks it's phonebook and retrieves two numbers and then it does not know what to display, is it contact one, or two?
I hope this helps you out. I did not experience any problems (yet).

Try this....
1. Edit one "test number" in your contacts and remove international codes.
Just put that "test" tel number. without int. codes... And make sure that number is not stored nder another contact. (No duplicates.)
2. Then dial from that number and see if that tel# is identified. If you have just "0xx-123456" then go to #3.
3. Go to registry and change of the Caller ID match rule. (Minus one digit.)
Example: Caller ID rule:8 (Change from 8 to 7 or 6 to 5 .. trailing digits for Call ID match. )
* HKCU\Control Panel\Phone\CalIidMatch value:7
4. Restart and test again...
5. If its OK, than test with SMS.
6. If its OK again , put back your international codes and test again.
7. If not go to no.3
Hope this helps.

What was happening to me before the reset was a bit different - the phone wasn't able to match anything at all - even a number called from the phonebook and stored in "recent calls" in EXACTLY the same way it's in contact, didn't match to the contact when redialed.
I think that something required for Caller ID to work gets done when the phone is first initialized, and that this step requires full access to the phone module (which the phone doesn't have without a SIM inserted and a proper PIN entered).
hi,
i encountered also that worry,
i set the HKCU\Control Panel\Phone\CalIidMatch value:9
my mobile phone number to test was stored as "06xxyyzzww"
and when i phone my diamond2 from that number
the caller id is recognized
(with showing as +336wwxxyyzz)
i tested from my home phone stored in contacts as 04wwxxyyzz
i rang my topaz its was identfied as my home,
(with showing as +334wwxxyyzz)
i am in france, + is for 00 ,our phone numbers are 10 digits long
(mobiles and "home") ,
to be joined from abroad, you have to dial +33+phone number WITHOUT the first digit "0")
so the "9" value i put in the registry
if it could help you
regards
Hi,
just stumbled over the same problem.
The old phone (HTC P330) resolved numbers from my used format 01234-56789.
Since my contacts are a mess, I have 01234-12345, +49-123456-456, +49 (0123)-456 and so on, it would be a great pain in my ass to switch every contact to +49123-456 (which the new phone resolved).
I compared the Registry-Entry from the P3300 with the TD2 and voila: TD2 was 12, P3300 had the value 8.
I changed the TD2 to value 8, reboot and now I'm happy again, the phone is getting used to my contact list

Hi,
I'm experiencing the exactly same problem, that incomming calls or messages isn't shown by name, but only by number.
I'm all new to Windows mobile, but I tried downloading a regeditor, and experimented with different values in the CallIdMatch string. However, no succes.
I live in Denmark, where numbers look like +4512345678, where +45 is the international code. Can someone please tell me, what should be the correct value? The original values was 8.
I have further found that some contacts are recognized. What the difference is between the groups, are however unclear!
Caller ID problem, my solution
I had the same problem. But after a hard reset it seems to work just fine now. Remember to backup your downloaded programs etc before doing this.

Hi,
"8" should be the good figure for you, as in France
we have phone numbers +33987654321
and "9" is the good value for me, in:
HKCU\Control Panel\Phone\CalIidMatch value:
Edit: i remove previous "edit"
in fact all my contacts had been erased" so it was normal to have no caller ID?
ps: is your carrier sendind all the figures when you're receiving calls, i mean +4512345678
so perhaps you're encountering a bug .
you should try to backup your device, with a soft like spritebackup(special price for htc owners on their webpage) and experiment an hardreset
and restore

Hi ,
did you ever try to change the following:
RegistryEdit and Decreasing the CallIDMatch from 12 to 7 solved my Issue
See below
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone" name="CallIDMatch"
Greetings from Slovenia
Hello,
that is my first post so please do not be very critical to my english level and PPC skills .
now this is an old thread but for BULGARIA the correct registry value is "9". Here the mobil numbers are as follows "08xx 123456" (9 digits without the ZERO at the very beginning). that is why the usefull number is that (default for my TD2 was 8). Now after this fix the phone can correctly identify which number i want to dial when i am inserting it by digits, instead of selecting the exact person. i do not know am i explaining correctly but i will try to put some more detail on that. When i want to dial some particular number (for example "08xx 123456") the phone select me the correct contact no matter how i put this contact in memory. with "+3598xx 123456" or only with "08xx 123456". before that intervention the phone identifies me the correct contact only if i type the digits, exactly the same way that i have added it to the memory. So i think that this registry key does not have a universal resolution. the resolution depends on how many digits is using tha particular mobile operator.
i hope that will be helpful for someone who is happy to own an HTC and is happy with it ... like Me
