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.

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.

I need to know if there is a following setting fo WM5:
1) is there any patch to remind the missing calls continously ?
i mean when a call unanswered, the option will adjust it to remind the call by repeat it within 1 minute or 2 minutes or any adjustable rate. samsung mobile phones have this option and is very useful for remind the missing calls and also for messages.
2) how can i adjust SMS text message tone different from CB (channel broadcast) cell message tone ?
i am not able to apply different ringtones for SMS text message and CB (cell channel messages) anyway to apply different tones instead of same tone ?
2) when i look to a missing call i also wonder if there is a option to see the caller name or number on main notifier screen instead of "1 missinh call" like normal mobile phones show it.
3) i also want to learn if there is a way to use MDA Pro camera for video call on Messenger and on skype to chat by video ?
above 3 feature is very usefull for me and want to learn is there is a possibility for above features.
thanks.
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.
Hi,
since I upgraded my TP2 ROM with the WinMo6.5 from HTC I encountered two issues which really make me regret this from time to time:
On incoming calls very often the caller name is not displayed even if the phone number is known in my address book. Also in call history i just see numbers, not names. This worked perfectly in 6.0.
When I receive a call, i press "take call" but the phone simply wont take it. Instead it silences the ringtone but there is no chance I take the call.
I searched the forum but couldn't find anything that would help. There was some registry entry about setting the size of phone numbers which should fix problem one, but the issue here is, that German phone numbers don't have any fixed size, so the suggested fix is not working. Also I'd wonder why I have to set something up when just the same thing worked perfectly in 6.0. As for the more annoying "can't take call" thingy, i am absolutely clueless. Has anyone of you encountered these issues before and if so, were you able to fix them?
I can't find the link readily but I thought I remember reading that adding (or removing) the "+" in front of phone numbers in your contacts helped the first issue.
in the stock motoblur rom, there was an option to speak the caller's name (or number if it wasn't in contacts) then the ring tone would start
I can't find it in cm7, anyone have any recommendations? I had a look at Announcifier, but it was too much and the speech would only start half way through the ring tone
Darn I was hoping there was a solution also, I to used that in the Blur ROM
Found Who's Calling? in the Market and it fits the bill. I like it better than the one that came with Blur. It has various settings and will also announce sms/mms messages also. Can also change what is said for people in your contact list.
