Turn off caller ID, I want my old ring tone back

Hi,
Maybe i'm missing something. How do I disable the caller ID from saying the callers name (simply not loud enough), and just set it to the ringer tone I orginally had? I ran a search and came up with 1000 hits :roll:. I know there is a simple solution but maybe i'm just blind.

Update: I don't know what is going on now. I managed to get the ringtones to work, but the call ID girls talks at the same time.

What do you mean by that ?
Do you mean to PhotoContacts that can choose ringtone per contacts?
or MS voicecommand ?

MS voice command has nothing to do with it. I mean when a caller calls me, the default ringtone (set to oldring.wma) and the girl's voice telling me who the caller is and where, come on at the same time. I want to disable the girl's vioce altogether leaving me with only the default ringtone.
What I find mysterious is that I have two versions of Caller ID's in the /Windows directory, IA-P_Contacts.exe version 1.17 (build 16895) and PhotoContacts.exe Caller ID version 1.20 (build 17975). When I customize the setting on either version and a person calls me, I can see both custom animated images pop up. As well as the girl's vioce and the ringtone I assigned to a caller.
As of now, I don't know how to turn off the girl's vioce and I have no idea why two custom animated images are showing in the pop up when a caller calls.

I think both IA_contacts and Photocontacts are thesame program but in different version.
If you want to disable one ,you can do it by delete it from \Windows\Startup.
Firstly ,this is an easy way to stop this problem.
In my suggestion, IA_contacts is older version and it cannot assign ringtone per contacts. If you need to use only default ringtone ,you should pick its.
But in Photocontacts which is newer version ,You can assign ringtone per contacts.
Secondly, in your Ext Rom, It may have Two version of CallerID.
To eliminate this problem, You need to edit your Ext ROM and remove one of this.

Thanks for the tips tumtum. This is what I entually ended up doing. More or less per your instructions.
* In Call ID Options (old version), I disabled/ unticked all the available boxes.
* Disabled/ Removed IA_Caller_ID.lnk from the /startup folder
-- reset --
Results: pop up with no images, caller ID girls still there, default ringtone is audable.
This is what I wanted, but is there a way to remove the Caller ID voice girl? The reason why I want to do this is that it the voice and the ringtone cancels each other out in most cases.
PS. It seams that when you go into the Caller ID options, without changing anything, the pop up doesn't want to show anymore and the ringtone isn't audable anymore as well. But the Caller ID girl is still there. It takes a reset to get the functions back.
Man do I want to break up with her. The sooner, the better. :x

Could you capture your screen that you have problm ?
Because I can't undrestand what you mean "caller ID girls".
Perhaps I can help you.

I can do something better. I recorded it with my Sony Ericsson T610. The trick was to convert the amr file to mp3 format because I don't know whether or not you have a player that plays amr files.
When you play it, you will notice a girl telling you who is calling, according to your phone book, and at what number. I want to remove the girl talking.

That's sound like "Microsoft Voice Command".
Because I had used it before.
I'm pretty sure that's MS voice command.
To nomadman
I need you to check something
At Start > Setting > Personal, Do you have voicecammand icon?
If yes ,you can set it by clicking it.
And set option at Phone to Disable speaking the name of Contacts who calling.

OMG! You are so right tumtum 8) . I just didn't realize it was a simple solution. It has been a while since I registered and installed my copy of MSVC and I didn't bother to check the command settings.Man, I sure appreciate your feedbacks on this. You have made a freind for life.
Now, to get back my old setting again. Glad I made a Sprite backup everytime I installed a cab file :lol:. If there is any way I can be of service, hollar at me.
Best regards..

Glad to hear that.
I can do as best as I can do. Because We are friends.

problems with diverts to voicemail & # of rings b4 diver

my mob no is: 07743889117
my voicemail no is: 01234567891 (suppose)
i ve tried searching around on the forum and found 1 thread where this topic was discussed, however it was quite confusing.
my o2 XDA IIs used to divert calls to my voicemail only after 15 seconds, however i wanted to change this to 30 seconds and then came across a thread on the forum here.
i used a long command starting with: **61*077453889117....
(i ve forgotten the last few sequences of the command)
so neways, it did the trick, the timer was delayed to 30seconds, however here is the PROBLEM: when sum1 calls, it rings for 30seconds, and then it says: "ur call z being trasferred....ur call being transferred, THE NUMBER YOU HAVE CALLED IS NOT RECOGNISED"
any1 knows how 2 fix my problem n get the diverts to my voicemail up n running again?
if you are going to write the commands, can u plz use my above given numbers so that i know exactly what to do.
many thx

any1 at all?

Hi SenzAsian
I have had mixed success with using the codes. Don't have it to hand right now, but will try and find tonight. But a better plan is to just call tech support. They can just change it on the server side for you. I think 40 seconds is the max... Have you tried that?
Regards
Chris

If you do a search on Google for "gsm codes" then several pages are returned. Try one or more of these for advice if the command I give below is no good.
If you have an O2 XDA IIs I am assuming you are on the O2 UK network. The number after the **61* bit should be the number of the O2 voicemail service. Therefore, the command for a 30sec delay to divert to voicemail after not answering your phone is:
**61*+447802091901*30#
Then press the GREEN send button.
Hope this helps.

hey guys, thank u very much for ur input!
mvsmith, thx man, it worked! however, ur command was missing a * towards the end, so let me write down the proper command in case other users need to set their delay times:
Steps:
1. find ur voicemail number (not ur mob number)!
2. so suppose ur voicemail no is: +447743888888, then
3. on the xda fone scree, type in: **61*447743888888**30#
(the **30# at the end will set it to a 30seconds delay b4 it goes to ur voicemail)
4. click send/talk
5. wait for a few seconds
6. DONE!

I think alot of people would like to see this feature. It is possible. I read about it in the Magician section yesterday but it seemed really complicated.

Slightly OT: Why would you want the screen off? Surely you want to know you have a message?
I personally don't think PPC notifies you *enough*. I want something more than a little icon.

1- where is the redial function when busy ???
It's no where (I think)
2- How to hide my number from the caller that i'm calling ( my network provide me with this service)
Open phone app. -> Tools -> Options -> Services -> Caler Id
Or get the code from your telco. that you can enter before the number each time you call someone.
3- Everytime i receive a sms my screen comes on how to keep it off
This helps alot
4- Where can i find middlet to install or programs or what so ever
Millions of places, did you try google

Thank you for your fast reply, now can i use my PDA2K as a webcam ??

If you don't notice, the screen gets mashed in your pocket. Mine usually eds up connecting to expensive GPRS and having the time of its life remotely syncing and opening large images on the web at £2.35 per Mb.
The noise and vibration is plenty for me. Here's a thread from the Magician section on it:

Quick questions concerning Schap's Rom

Evening guys and gals,
Just flashed my Imate Jasjam to Schap's wonderful Rom (lite) version and LOVING it, just had a few quick questions:
1. As an Australian resident, when people call from home lines/mobiles - the Caller ID is obviously setup for Americans - ie. (075) 582 3293, however here in Australia our Caller ID is setup to be (07) 5582 3293 for example. I couldn't for the life of me see where this could be changed, any help would be sweet.
2. Is there anyway to increase the length of Ringing when someone calls? Or is that simply up to your Telecommunications provider and when Message Bank kicks in?
Thanks,
EG04

1. Try changing the language under Settings/System/Regional Settings
2. That's up to the service provider.

Thanks for your prompt reply mate. In response to the change in Regional Settings, it was a good idea (and one I hadn't thought of) but after changing them, and applying a Soft Rest, still didn't change

I can change how long my phone rings before going to voicemail by going into
Start/Settings/Phone
Click the Services tab and highight 'Call Forwarding' then click 'get settings'
I change mine to the max 30seconds with AT&T. Default is 20sec

I LOVE u MrDSL - 1 problem down, mine was on 15 seconds which was RIDICULOUS with city noise and me dancing to the Ringtone .
Still can't figure out for the life of me how to switch to Australia Caller ID rules...

Wow! I didn't you know you could do this!! This is great! And it works on my Nokia E70 (Symbian) phone, as well. Thanks.

You could always force it to display however you want just by editing your contacts in Outlook. Instead of (041) 8888888 just change it to (04) 18888888 or you can take out the brackets altogether. And this isn't just Schap's. It's all ROMs... maybe not the Telstra ones though they're probably preconfigured for Australia.

Re your problem with caller ID format.
Don't know if any of this helps, but a couple of things I noted.
I use S2U2 as a screen saver/locker. One of the options in this program is to modify the format of the caller ID number. Only trouble is, the only options it gives are nothing (default), US format, and full international format. Not sure what it would do on your phone, but it might be worth a play.
You can modify HKLM/Security/ColdInit/Locale to 3081 (decimal) if it's not set already.
That may change back, however when you re-boot. (See this post).

[Q] speed dial problem with Motorola Defy

Hello every one
here I just bought the Motorola Defy, which I find wonderful on all items, apart from the low autonomy and some bugs, particularly in the allocation of the 9 speed dial numbers, I select the speed dial from the contacts, everything goes normal, I try to call ok, but some time later, 1 / 2 hour or so, when I try to call in short, he no longer recognizes contacts allocated, it said "no contact is assigned to the 2 key", and the same for all numbers, when I check, there are no more contacts assigned to speed dialing, and whenever I am obliged to allocate a new .
Someone had this problem?
is there any solutions?
thank you in advance
PS: Excuse my bad English

anybody here can help me please

ok if u have set a contact in speed dial and u wanna make a call to that contact then u need to keep the number of the speed dial pressed for 2-3 seconds until it makes the call, it wont call the number if you press the speed dial number (i.e 0-9) and then the call button...

i had that problem too on stock eclair (im guessing you use that too). just try to exclude the dialler of your task manager (if you dont use any, then start using es task manager), maybe that will help!
Sent from my superfast CM7 Defy.
