A lot of people have commented that the Raphael doesn’t announce the caller ID in blue tooth headsets. Some carriers have bundled the MS Voice Command application into the stock ROM with values that give you ring tone in blue tooth headset but no caller ID (this is true for the Verizon 6850 version, for example).
Here’s a quick and easy registry edit I found looking for a solution to this at PPC Geeks. I’ve tested it and it works like a charm.
This was the original text:
------------------------------
With this fix - the ring tone will play for a second and then be cut off by the call announcement. The announcement will be at a lower volume. The announcement will repeat - the ring tone will not be played again.
NOTE THAT YOU SHOULD ATTEMPT THIS FIX ONLY IF YOU ARE COMFORTABLE IN UPDATING YOUR REGISTRY.
Change the following registry keys:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\TTSAnnounce\Category
change from VoiceCommand1 to Ring
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\TTSAnnounce\Script
change from as5p to v0p (that's v-zero-p) - for vibrate & ring, or p (ring only)
The above fix seems to get the announcements reliably, and doesn't break the set vibrate/set ringer features in the TF3D interface.
Hopefully we can find a better solution - that will restore the full functionality of Voice Command incoming call announcements - and not need this hack.
Another option is to manually overwrite the ringtone file name:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Sound
change to \Application Data\Volatile\TTSCallerID.wav
This fix replaces the ringtone with the call announcement - and at full volume.
BUT this solution has several problems, including breaking the set vibrate/set ringer feature in TF3D.
Tried the first one, works as posted. Fuze, at&t test rom.
Thanks!
Sure
My pleasure--it was really annoying not to know was calling me when I'm walking around or driving.
Same here. I have a personal reason for wanting the call announcement in the blue tooth, rather than the speaker. I don't like blasting out who's calling me, or annoying ringtones to everyone else...LOL...kind of a pet peeve of mine.
I have a "borg implant" stuck in my ear 8-10 hours a day, and it is nice, when I'm working, NOT to have to pull the phone out of its case to see who's calling.
You would think that MS, HTC, or who ever is at fault for this "bug" can't fix it without someone having to hack the registry to get it to work like it is suppose to.
Once again, thanks!

I really find it useful to have a 3minute repeating incall alertr. If there such a setting on the Kaiser, or if there isnt does anyone know of any?
You knopw like when you get a beep for call waiting, except that this just gives a small beep to advise that X minutes have passed.
thanks
No there isn't. But there is freeware by the name of Redial V1.02 at www.pocketmax.net the publishers of the famous PhoneAlarm.
V1.02 is said to be compatible with WM5 and therefore I assume it would be with WM6 as well. Personally I have not tried it.
Regards
I might be mistaken, but to my knowledge ReDial only redials when the other party is unavailable, and does not do what GLO asks: get an audible beep every three minutes of being on the phone...
Please search for "How to Enable Repeat Play Audio Sound Notifications in Windows Mobile"
You will find the solution!
ok, yes I do know I'll probably be flames for making this topic. I did do searching and I do know this is a wide spread issue that has more fixes than I can count. however I haven't been able to find a solution that works on my tilt. here is thr issue:
I just installed ms voice command and I cannot get announcements to work on my bluetooth headset nor will my commands run through my mic (I thought they were earlier but apparently not). I did try the fix that was listed here on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=309822 but that didn't work. and I did a soft reset as well.
plz help. what is the latest way to do this??
I believe the very latest version of VC works out of the box with no issue.
You can check your version in the VC screen... latest is 1.6.19209
Technically i don't know if this has been release to market yet but it is available in the latest AT&T test ROM and has been incorporated into Dutty's 6.1.
Now I haven't tested it yet...BT is next on my list of things to set up on my phone....but apparently everything works.
If you don't want to flash to AT&T Test ROM or Dutty's (based off same ROM) you can look around to see if you can find a release version of 1.6.19209.
Again, i can't confirm 100% that this works, but from other posts I have seen VC works fully on the above.
crap I have 1.6.17913 (the latest I could find) I went through 2 more processes on 2 more topics and they didn't work. I looked for the version you mentioned and couldn't find it. I had used one of dutty's ROM's before but hspda didn't work like the one I have now. but it looks like I might have to switch over.
ok I have the new rom and it's still not working. do I need to init. it from the headset?? if I do then I probably need a reg. hack to make it so my headset doesn't redial when I hold down the button. Also I noticed if I send all audio to my headset (via the control panel's option) the voice from voice command still comes through the handset.....
Apologies if you've already tried this, but I remember from the Hermes Wiki there was a piece about getting VC to work off the bluetooth headset button. It was basically:
- Create a new entry of \Windows\voicecmd.exe in \hkey_local_machine\Software\Oem\VoiceCommand\Path
- Amend the entry in \hkey_local_machine\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway\BTAGExtModule to read vcbthag.dll
Obviously, if your Voice Command is installed via cab rather than baked in, the first entry would be \Program Files\Micorsoft Voice Command\voicecmd.exe (might have to search on your phone for it, I've always used cooked in)
It worked on one my little ROM when one of the beta-testers ran up against the same thing.
I did kinda do that on a wim (not knowing fully what I was doing) I made the change so both items in my audio gateway are "vcbthag.dll" but I folowed the rest of you advice aftefr I saw the post. but it didn't work.
my vox 340 still performs the redial function when I hold down the call button. should I run a search through my registry to see if my bt is using another section I don't know about?? and if I should what is the redial command in the registry?? I would be content with at least finding that at the moment.
On a side not....the new dutty rom doesn't have touchflow??
As an update I did try Jetware at: http://www.jetwaremobile.com/install.htm and it didn't work.
I really am starting to think that the problem is that I need to initialize the voice command through my headset but nothing I do changes the headset command from redial.
So if the announcements seem to come and go with VC, I have seen this "symptom". What I am discovering is that the "ringer" volume level matters as to whether you get announcements or not and the headset in the mix seems to complicate that.
I haven't mapped it out completely yet, I confess. I noted that what you say to VC for ringer level (loud/medium/soft/vibrate) doesn't seem to affect the phone but the phone's volume/vibrate setting does appear to affect annoucements I get. Oh and the pattern isn't the same for calendar announcements getting through versus call announcements.
If anyone out there has already mapped out what VC volume and phone volume settings deliver what announcements, that would be a useful table to look at...
Oh and last bit of potentially useful info -- I have v1.6.17913 and incoming call announcements did NOT work for me out of the box...I had to copy four "update" files onto my device and then it worked just fine. There's a thread on this forum that has a link for those files that you can search for I think.

I know about the file issue and I did try that and it didn't work. Also I updated to dutty's more recent ROM that has 1.6.19209 and it was supposed to work out of the box......but doesn't..... Even when I set it to be the stereo BT I only get the audio from VC if audio was already playing
I finally got WM6.1 installed and ran into a little issue. I tried to customize the device with my old ringtones from WM6.0.
The issue is that they do not show up in the Incoming Calls area of the ringtone section. I moved them into various FOLDERS hoping that WM6.1 would see them but this didn't work. I did notice that the ringtones were showing up in the area for RECEIVED TEXT MESSAGES and other types of the sound notifications.
How can I get the ringtones that were working perfectly fine on WM6.0 to work on the latest WM6.1?
Thanks!
Did you try putting them in the "Rings" folder. That worked for me.
I have tried the following FOLDERS without any luck:
/dev/My Documents/
/dev/My Documents/Ringtones
/dev/storage card/My Documents/
/dev/storage card/My Documents/Ringtones
/dev/Windows/Rings/
Seven ringtones (mp3) that worked perfectly on W6.0 are no longer visible as choices for the "Phone: Incoming Call" area. The only options are two WAV files I use for messages being received. However, those mp3 ringtones are visible and are options under all of the send/receive notification tone menus.
I don't get why I can't choose them as phone-call ringtones...
Any thoughts?
mine is doing the same. However, my song still rings even though it does not show being the ringer selected.
/dev/Windows/Rings/
That's where I have mine.
I had the same problem and the only solution that I found was from which ever folder you music is in just press and hold down on the song, and set as ring tone. Now your phone will ring with that song, but if you go in settings/sounds/notifications it still wont come up.

I assume you are on an AT&T Tilt? If so, I had the same problem as well. It turns out that it has something to do with the file size. There's some limit ~400k for the file for it to show on your notification lists for ringtone.
I had to chop off the end of my song, and get it to 300k and then it showed/worked just fine. I'm sure this will get fixed soon.
There's a cab that enables this function. You install it and voila all your mp3's can be set as ringtones. As soon as i find the link again Ill post it. I used it and it works great.
The Fix:
Install the .cab then move the desired MP3 File to Device\My Documents\My Ringtones and you should be able to see them in your Sounds & Notifications settings program.

Okay so I may not post it since someone beat me to it. LOL
http://mikefordmustang.com/downloads/NoRingtoneLimit.cab
I've got all mine on the root of the storage card and it works just fine - can have any size ring-tone you want...
Yo what a difference a .cab can make. I was racking my brain trying to figure out the solution to this issue. I was trying to convert .mp3 to .wma, I was downgrading the audio quality of my songs trying to get their filesize down, all with no positive results. Then I find this thread install the .cab and presto it works. To the creator and posters of this fix THANK YOU!!!!!!! You saved me from a downgrade back to 6.0. :-D
Hi,
I transferred the cab file to my xda ii, has a wm6.1 rom and it just seemed to open an html internet page with the commands in.
I see my ringtones now BUT i can't find ringtones for text.
Basically I want set my own ringtone for incoming calls and then set a differnt one for my incoming sms texts... but it just shows default when I go to look in incoming sms...
If that makes sense can someone help?
I should also mention when i extract the file it is .xml - i tried chaning the file ext to .exe or .cab but no luck... im probably being stupid but all help is appreciated,
thank you
wow, thank you
WM 6.1 registry edit for ringtone file size
I upgraded from WM 6.0 to 6.1 and now my custom ring tones that are over 500Kb do not show up in the pull down menu in order to select them for contacts. This fix is to edit the registry.
- Go into HKEY_Current User > ControlPanel > Sounds
- Delete the key of FileSizeLimit
- Done, You should now be able to set any MP3 as your ringtone.
Alan
Thanks for that .cab it was driving me insane as well not being able to have any of my old ringtones that I used for 6.0 work in 6.1 Thanks a ton!!
Thank you!!! This is just what I was looking for.
Happy Holidays!
I did not want to start a new thread for this secondary issue. I loved when my Nokia bar phone made that BEEP sound with vibration. I could hear it from a distance as it was so distinct even at low volume.
This new Windows based phones suck when it comes to rings and how they sound.
Does anyone have a very distinct beep / similar ring tone that is heard well from Tilt's loudspeakers? That would be appreciated.
New registry keys display list of ringtones.
This is my first post to these fantastic forums. I think I finally found something that merits a post.
Note: I am using WM6.1 AT&T build for Blackjack II. This may not apply here if you use a custom ROM, in which case the chefs may have already remove these keys. If not, here's how you get to see your ringtones, etc. from the Settings/Sounds menus.
In WM6.1 the registry key,
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds
have 2 new keys:
AllSounds
Ringtones
Each of these keys is a collection of sound files, obviously the ones shipped with the original rom. Use a registry editor to delete both keys. The time to display the list of sounds will increase if you have many sound files.
If you have a set of custom tones, you could put this list into the registry instead and the list will display much faster.
I hope this saves someone some time and frustration.

Can you tell me how to install the NoRingtoneLimit.cab to my phone. This is new to me thk u.
BTW the title of the thread is supposed to start *Change*...!
basically, i find the constant vibration really annoying when receiving a text or call... especially a call! i no the butler app changes the call vibration to every 300 ms or something along those lines, but i could never get the program to work properly on my TP. i was wondering if anybody knew the registry tweak (if there is one) to edit vibration length.

the thing with butler, i cant get it to run on my device. i have even had to hard reset because of it, so i dont want to fiddle with it nomore (which is a shame).
Is butler really the only way of changing the vibration?
I'm with you Manoli, Butler locked up my ROM also. Anyone have any other options.
Hi all,
After a lot of lost time trying to record my calls I said maybe someone already know the answer.
I have installed on TP: ROMeOS 1.70.3 and RADIO 1.02.25.28...very happy with them. I checked the post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=457808&page=1 and I installed on my TP next programs for call recording:
- ICR, made by HTC. Works, but, like the next programs, doesn't record the voice of the other person (only your voice)
- VITO Audio Notes 4.51. The same like ICR (only your voice) but i like it more as he can automatic record the call. You just have to select that on menu . Also he write file name with the name of the contact that you talked, the date and hour
- Resco Audio Recorder 1.37. Same like Vito, but the file name is different and i didn't know how to make it right for me
I changed the RADIO (i thought can change something) to version 1.08.25.20M1, but no change: I can only record my voice.... I know, if i set up "Speakerphone" option i will have both, but this is not the normal way meaning this will activate the speakerphone and everyone will hear your conversation and the recording is using only the microphone anyway...
Any ideea?
P.S. If you want i can post the soft above
I would post this in the ROMEOS thread for your version. Someone there is much more likely to help you. Plus, you don't want to get yelled at by the mods for starting a new thread when it should have been posted somewhere else.
