Caller_ID_RC21 - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General

has anyone had anyproblems with the caller ID "Caller_ID_RC21"
my phone displays the caller ID when ever it wants to only !! haha its not consistent, the ringer sometimes goes into the default assigned in the registry, and sometime it displays the contacts in the sim and sometimes my contacts with the respective picture... and sometimes it plays the assigned ringtone... any suggestions??

Hi
Yes when every thing is installed on the MMC

do yo mean when I associate files (pix, tones) to contacts, that are stored in the storage card the program fails? I had thought of that, I guess I will try loading them to the local drive. thanks.

Hi
Sorry, yes i reinstall the program, ringtones and images to the phoes ram never had a problem since

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.
[link removed]
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.

Call History showing numbers as unknown?????

when i go to my call history, 95% of my calls, made or received, come up as unknown! it is pissing me off. all the numbers that are showing up as unkown are number that are stored in my contacts. when the call is made or received the name and picture show up. but a couple of days later it is switched and is shown as a unknown caller! i heard it may have something to do with active sync,, but iam not sure of that. on all my other wm devices this has never happened.
please give me some feed back
anybody else notice this?
sorry, don't have an answer but same problem here.
i second the pissing of the offness.
my unknowns seem to be happening for no reason at all as well.
Unknown numbers can be down to three factors (also on many other WinMo devices).
1, You have the same number duplicated in Contacts under different spelling causing a search error.
2, You have synced Outlook with another software (ie. Nokia or Samsung) that causes slight changes in the Outlook Database. (This can also cause "+" to be omitted from numbers when synced.
3, Not using the latest Activesync software in XP.
Solution I found is to erase all contacts in Outlook (they will remain in the deleted items folder for restore so if all fails you can transfer them back). Edit items in the phone so all are tidy with no duplicates. Then resync.
It's none of those things for me. It just says unkown during the call. If I click View Contact, it'll go to the correct contact in the address book.

Its None of those for me as well. I just noticed this and yes the contacts are stored in my phone correctly. Hope someone comes up with a solution soon. The call history feature is effectively useless this way... except of course, you have a super brain and can remember all your numbers!
iam the original poster of this problem and also for me these aren't the problems, i try it out and still the same thing, contacts are stored, but still shown unknown number in the call history, that is located in the home tab of touch flo
I've noticed that when my phone is ringing, caller ID works fine and displays the person's name and contact picture. But as soon as I answer the call, it sometimes says "unknown" (though I just received a call and it displayed properly).
I synced my contacts with my exchange server via direct push, not Activesync. And I don't have any dupes.
It just seems like caller ID is a bit on the wonky side...
I also checked dupes and other things.
It can't figure out the pattern.
I called someone today who's phone number I know is in another contact record but it showed the correct call.
Then sometimes I get the "unknown".

This is exactly what I see on my tilt2 as well. I can see who is calling, I answer, and then when I pull the phone away from my ear to hit the end call button it says "unknown caller". The caller information DOES show up in my call history, so the only time I am seeing this problem is during the call.

[Q] Caller ID mapping

I have my new HTC Trophy set up to sync with Exchange/Outlook. I'm in Norway, so my contacts phone numbers are stored in Outlook in this format: +47 12345678
Now, when in Norway and getting incoming calls from 12345678, the phone does not recognize the caller.
Is this a known issue? Any workarounds other than removing +47 from all my contacts?
I'm having the same issue!
Anyone know how to setup WP7 to recognize not only the full number?
Nothing new here?
i noticed that in the windows live contacts section you can specify which country the contact is in,..would that help?
i don't know..i'm not having these problems to be honest!
In outlook you store the phone number with +47 but when you dial the number, you want to dial it without the +47
Is that correct?
I have had similar issues with other phones with extra "0" in between region/country/city codes, for example in Germany.
I have a couple of ideas:
1. There is the International Dialing assist function. I have no idea what it does other than what's described undertneat it... Does that do anything helpful?
2. What if you create a separate Windows Live account, and add in /copy your contacts, without the +47; then link the two contacts. The contacts will appear as just 1 contact in your phone, and you'll have the option to call with or without the +47
So here is the deal:
I have set all my contacts mobile numbers using the right local area code (for example 04111-8181-8181) so when I’m traveling to other city the call is routed correctly. But when someone call me I receive the number without the area code (example 8181-8181) and the phone did not match this with the contact.
So the problem is not when I'm dialing the number but when I receive an incoming call from my contacts.
I don't know what this International Assist do too but is turned On.
And hboos, I didn't find where I do set up this Country in Live Contacts but I don't think that this is the problem since all of my most important contacts are coming from Outlook.
Thanks
I store all my contacts like this one: +49123456 without any spaces. My HD7 recognizes them all. Perhaps you have to remove the space?
Well, if removing the spaces/formatting doesn't work, you can always go with my other suggestion. Create a separate address book in a Windows Live account with the incoming CID number, and link the two contacts on WP7 (open contact 1, click the chain link at the bottom, click contact 2). WP7 is even smart enough to suggest you likely links.
Talys, this suggestion lead me to another question: Is there one button to link all my contacts or I need to go one by one (because I have 1200+ contacts).
I'll try to remove the spaces.
Just an update, didn't work removing all the spaces
I've got the same problem. Living in Norway, syncing with Exchange/Outlook and storing all my phone numbers with a +47 prefix. I'm sure creating a windows live contact for each of my Exchange/Outlook contact and link them would work. But with 800+ contacts, the thought of maintaining two lists doesn't sound like a feasible solution for me.
I've tried the following.
Using a 0047 prefix instead of the +47. Same problem.
Removing any spaces that Outlook add automatically. Same problem
Using a windows live contacts instead of Outlook/Exchange contacts. Same problem.
The best solution I've come up with so far, is to store all my Outlook/Exchange contacts with two numbers. One without the prefix and one with. This isn't really working either I like to store mobile number where they belong.
However, everything seams to work as expected with SMS/MMS messages. The +47 prefix doesn’t cause any problems what so ever.
Now with some developers already getting access to WP7 registry I think it's a matter of time to find the entry to edit

I don't think there's a button to automatically link your contacts.... that's a lot of contacts to link! But you only need to link the ones that are important for Call Display, right? So the list would be smaller?
i always have the same problem on wm6 and had was to edit the registry caller ID match the default is 8 so if you change it to 6 or 7 then it will be ok..so its just to get access to the wp7 registy to change that setting

Sorry to bring that again but that's THE POINT!! We need to hack the registry to edit this.
Anyone have done this?

no....there is no access YET to the registry or file system
try this reg key
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone]
"CallIDMatch"=dword:7
Have you tried Settings -> Applications -> phone and International assist - On?

I don't think this is the problem, or if it is, the default value is higher than 8 as all phonenumbers in Norway has 8 digits. 11 if you also count the +47.
In any case, works fine for me using Telia in Sweden - I have numbers stored in a variety of ways including +46 (0123) 12345 as well as +4612312345 and they all seem to show who's calling. Could be it's operator dependant somehow?
I have the same problem, my contacts are synced from Google. Country Slovenia, format +386 31xxxxxx. Number does not link to name of the contact. Tried Caller ID fix from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=907971, but problem remains. Can someone try and see if it works for him?

[Q] strange ringtone assign problems

HTC Desire/Froyo 2.2
I used to use Ringdroid to create and assign a few custom ringtones to a few contacts, then I discovered I didn't need to use a program to do that (simply create folders on the SD card, much like on my winmo devices) so I uninstalled the app and copy all my winmo ringtones to the SD card, but I have the following problems:
1. I cannot assign ringtones to some contacts - they always revert to "Default" immediately.
2. I can assign to others, but some exhibit this weird behaviour. For example, I have assigned a ringtone A to person A, and when I assign a ringtone B to person B, person A's ringtone got changed to that of person B as well, I have to change person A's back manually (but then person B's remains unchanged).
Anyone knows what's wrong? Thank you.
I have a similar problem with ringtones assigned to contacts.
After a few days (or after some particular action which I haven't discovered yet) all my assigned ringtones revert to the default and the default ringtone is changed as well to something completely different.
It's getting really annoying...
