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.

ok, i just upgraded my AT&T contract and i got a Treo 750 with WM5. after doing some reading, it seemed AT&T was not going to release the WM6 ROM fast enough, so i went with the unbranded one directly from PALM...yada yada yada...i ended up deciding to switch to the Hermes (8525).
the issue that i have run into is that on the 750 with WM6 under Setting>Sounds & Notifications>Notifications, i could select settings for Phone: Incoming Call, Phone: Missed Call, Phone: Voice Mail, and Phone: Unknown Caller (maybe more). on the 8525, the latter seems to be missing. i was wondering if this option is just removed from the AT&T WM6 ROM and is present in the unbranded HTC one, or if there is some way to add this option back in fairly easily.
apologies if this is an overly noob question, i couldnt find anything in a general search.
"Incoming call", "Missed call", "Voice mail", that's all. No "Unknown caller" here (neither was in on any ROM i've tried). It's a Palm's addition.
ok, does anyone have any recomendations on how to pull that off?
I use Photo Contacts Pro, which allows all contacts to have their own ringtone, including Private and Unknown numbers.
Call firewall automatically hangs up after the first ring with unknown and blocked calls (you have to check the radio box for it to do it after install). Cool little app for sure, a must have really.
SOLUTION!!!
ok, i know it's been a while, but i found the answer to this issue over at:
http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=143176
it takes editing a couple registry keys, but they were already present, i just had to change the values. the 2 keys you are looking for are:
HKCU/ControlPanel/Sounds/RingTone0/
and
HKCU/ControlPanel/Sounds/KnownCallerRing0/
when i first checked them (using the registry explorer in Total Commander), KnownCallerRing0 had no values. so i opened RingTone0 and copied all the entries (Sound, Script, SavedSound, and Category) and pasted them into KnownCallerRing0.
KnownCallerRing0 represents the ringtone for people who are listed in your Contacts, but don't have a caller specific ringtone. edit the Sound value to point to the ringtone for them. mine is: \Storage Card\My Documents\My Ringtones\Vintage 2.mp3
RingTone0 represents the ringtone for any calls that are not from someone already saved in your contacts list. edit the Sound value to point to a ringtone for these "strangers". i have: \Storage Card\My Documents\My Ringtones\Silence (5 Seconds).wav
after changing these, i did a soft reset and then made a call from my work phone, and...*RING* *RING*. then i went to a phone at a co-workers desk who has never called me, and..........nothing..........just peace and quiet. i don't know if you need to copy all the values from RingTone0 to KnownCallerRing0, or if you have to do a soft reset, but that is the exact procedure i took and it worked. i hope this helps someone.
Great find....
Thnxs...
Great post! Thanks for the info!
thanks, the infos are very useful!!
Just another *ME TOO*. Thank you so much. I have been looking for this.

Thanks to this forum, my HD is almost perfectly customized with the current tools. Now I am going to experiment with the new radio 1.12.
However one thing is still bugging the hell out of me. Everytime I get a call of an unknown caller, I get the default avatar picture (grey and boring). I know that you can change this with some programs, like Photo Contacts Pro. But I don't want to install this, because I like the standard call pickup screen with the slider.
Is it possible to change the pictures for incoming unknown and private callers without installing another program?
I currently installed VC 1.6 and everything is pretty much perfect, but one thing. Whenever I get a call and my phone is set to ring, it announces who is calling, while scaling the down the volume of my ringtone.
Is there anyway to mute that caller voice that without uninstalling the whole program?
Thanks.
Yes...
Go to Settings tab
Choose 'All Settings' at the bottom
Choose 'Personal' Tab
Go to Voice Command
Highlight the 'Phone' (on left)
Choose Options button
Remove check from 'Announce Incoming Calls'
Piece of cake...!
Cheers

Another Question
Is there a way to get it to ring or something when i private or unknown call comes in. IT rings and announces all other callers but not private callers?

Hey thanks for that did not even know MVC could announce calls... as liked that feature on E71... might read the instructions
how do you get the call or text message announced only through the bluetooth?

Tap - All Settings - Personal - Voice Command - Notifications - Then tap selection 1 (Announce Using BT only)
still goes through the phone speaker and not the bluetooth

Hi. Could you please tell me which MSVC version you are using as I installed the 19209 onto my new TP2 and the incoming call announce does not work. Thanks Richard

yes my T7381 does not say who's calling either do the contacts need to be in sim or contacts memory or both?

By default MSVC must be saved to your phone's main memory and uses the contacts on your phone. I used to have a Tytn II running with version 19209 but the incoming announcements do not work with this version. I recall that you had replacement files you could copy to windows and MSVC in program files to overwrite the current files to make incoming announcements work but htis too does not work as it also froze when I went into settings.
To answer your question you need to save the MSVC program to your phone memory and if you still do not get incoming annouments and your settings under voice command (settings/personal/voice command are correct then you have the same problem I have. Richard

well in same boat then as installed on device MSV only ever wakes up on emails etc when high importance option is sent nothing else ... lazy cow
Just off the phone to HTC tech (mainly about another BT headset issue) and he said Microsoft is working on a new version of MVC as the current V1.6 does not play well with many of the new BT stacks
I was wondering if anyone knows if the TP2 had the capabilities to have a different ringtone for each person so that when they call AND text it is the same ringtone for that specific contact, instead of defaulting back to the main ringtone for texts. I have tried searching for this on google but I have only found solutions for this problem if I have a blackberry. For example, I would like Song A to play for Person A when they text AND call. I would like Song B to play for Person B when they text AND call. Right now all it will do is to play Song A when Person A calls and Song B when Person B calls. When either Person A or B texts me, it will play Song C. Is there something I am missing on what to do to fix this? Is there a setting I can change or is there a hack that I can use? Any help is appreciated.
PhoneAlarm lets you assign custom tones based on email or SMS subject & sender.
(I'm starting to feel like a shill for PA, but it is the only thing I have to contribute at this point.)
There is no "built-in" method for setting per-person Text ringers. (I used to have this feature on VzW's "The V" a few years back, and haven't seen it built-into a phone since).
As the other poster mentions, there are various applications that can be installed after-the-fact to provide this feature for each contact for text messages.
Definitely need to try PhoneAlarm myself... hadn't seen that one yet.
I found a way to get the caller's name to be spoken -- but I guess there is no built-in way to get this to happen for a text message? I would be nice to know who is texting without having to look at my phone.

I found a way, but it's not built-in and I think you'll need root.
I installed 'text to speech' from the play store, typed in 'messge from .........' saved all the names I wanted and transfered them to system/media/audio/notifications/sound theme/calm (root needed?)
Then chose their name as the ringtone, works in whatsapp aswell.
i did something somewhat related as well. i went into a text to speech website and created both a ringtone and an sms tone for specific contacts only. so say if i'm driving and the sound comes "liam calling" or รค message tone of "sms from liam", that will be from my son which i need to address as it might be urgent. but if the generic tone "sms" or my usual ringtone comes up, i don't address it right away. i went one step further for the other notifications. i created ones for teams, messenger, office email etc.. so say when the tone "front door" sounds, this is the camera in front detecting a person.
