I decided to post this in a new thread. Sorry if it was the wrong thing to do.
I installed some of the cabs found here, specifically the HTC plugins
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=326655
After performing the mods, the call history is not logging any calls to/from people that are in my fave 5 anymore. So I thought maybe the actual My Fav 5 program is logging the calls now, but no, it's not.
Anyone else experiencing this? The today screen plugin for missed calls does not increment by one when i have a missed call from someone in my fave 5, the call history does not log any of my fave 5 calls, and the My Faves program does not log them anymore either.
Any have any suggestions? What could have caused this problem? One of the HTC cabs I installed maybe?
Thank you in advance!

I'm really stumped here. This is my last try to bump the thread up in hopes that someone has answer.

hmm? My MyFaves is setup correctly. The problem is that my phone doesn't report/log any calls that are to or from people in my My Faves list. It reports/logs all other calls though.
I guess since all calls to myfaves people are free ... the phone doesn't register the calls or minutes used to those people so they aren't accounted for in any type of logs.
if you're running a custom rom, they wont be accounted for through any type on log on your phone
only way to track is through my-tmobile.com
I'm not running a custom ROM, just the HTC cabs and the pagepool hack.
It's disappointing because I don't know when someone from my My Fave 5 called me. It doesn't report it as a missed call! I'm not really trying to track the calls, I just want to be notified when I have a missed call.

I have the exact same problem. I have installed the same things. NOTHING in the call history involving anyone on fave 5. A fix for this would be huge for me. If anyone in my fav 5 calls and doesn't leave a message, it never tells me I have a missed call, and it never shows in the history. VERY frustrating.

Yeah that's the problem! I can't even find the calls from within the actual My Fav Program. The only thing listed in the log section are the text messages.
Something happened and we could really use a fix!
I got somewhere... someone sent me a private message and explained that they removed the "+" sign from the contacts.
Well I've tried to remove the country code, the plus sign, and tried formatting the number is different ways. So far I have gotten the outgoing calls to be logged, but if you call the person using the htc favorite people plugin or the contact manager. Outgoing calls are still not logged when calling via the myfave program.
I keep trying different things. Would someone mind sharing the format of the numbers in their contact manager and then also the format of the numbers in the myfave program? Thanks
I just edited the my favs contact number directly from the contact program (not the my favs program) with ####### no spaces, it automatically reformatted it to (xxx)xxx-xxxx, and it logs both incoming and outgoing calls fine from the 5 tab favorite contact screen. I don't have touch flo installed just have the regular interface skinned with the 5 tab, Pocket CM contact list, the htc dialpad, and the htc new default theme. It took me a few mins just messing with the contact number to get it working, but once it works, it works.

Ok..it seems to log outgoing calls that way....but no luck on incoming, what about missed calls? I seem to only have luck on it working when I dial them.
Also, when they call, their number shows up with their name and the "1(xxx)...." before it, even though the "1" isn't in the number in contacts. That probably has something to do with it...but I can't seem to fix that.
After editing them from my contacts, I still see they have the +1 in myfaves, which also seems to be having an effect.
For anyone that might know...
Is there a way I could just remove the myfaves application, which is probably a main cause of it not working right? I can just call them from my contacts or the home page contacts, which works for me if it means missed calls will show. So is it possible to just remove the application altogether? I assume it would still work because I could still access the numbers (and change them if necessary) online.
Welllllllllllllll.......
I went back, hard reset my wing, installed the stock t-mobile RUU. I then added things back one by one figuring I'd figure out which thing was causing my problem. It seems the pagepool is causing SOME problem (it doesn't NOTIFY me when I miss a call), but now even with everything I previously had installed, all calls show up in call history. I don't mind that it's not notifying me, as long as I can do a quick click into call history and see if I missed anything, so all is well now, I guess. I added my home phone # into my fav 5 (since I had an empty spot open anyway) and tested with that, calling back and forth over and over...it all seems to work fine. I'll be 100% sure when my gf or one of my friends calls me tomorrow, but it looks like I fixed it for now.
Start > Programs > myFaves > Menu > myFaves Settings > Refresh myFaves
If that doesn't solve your problems, log in to your My T-mobile account on the web and at least make sure you aren't getting charged regular minutes for your faves.

Pardon me if this sound stupid. I am having problem getting a ringtone for incoming call to "stick" in the phone setting. I have this MP3 ringtone that I like and would like to set it to ring whever the incoming calls are from stranger, private caller or people not on my contacts and contact I've not assigned unique ringtone to.
I would go into phone>sound>ring tone to set it to that MP3. But after a little while, it would revert back to "Ring-WindowsMobile" tone which is not loud enough for me.
Anyone knows how to make my selection of ring tone stick once I set it?
Thats strange, my ringtone sticks.
Maybe you havent placed the ringtone on the device?(Has to be on device not storage card)
I am using a ring tone stored in the device under window\ring.

I had the same problem. I installed the WAV file in the ringtone folder and it worked, until I installed GSPlayer. It made file associations, including WAV files and so it wouldn't play as the ringtone. So if you've installed some sort of media player recently, check the file associations. If they play WAV files, then uncheck it and your ringtone should work.
I have the same problem.
I'm using the 8125 "OldRing .wav" in my \My Documents\My Ringtones folder. The ringtone sticks for a few days, through soft resets and such, and then suddenly one day it just changes back to the crappy default Ring-WindowsMobile.
I haven't figured when or why it switches back, but I don't think it has anything to do with media players. I've got lots of media players installed (MortPlayer, Pocket Player, PocketMusic, and TCPMP). I use them all the time and they don't appear to affect my ringtone.
If it matters to anyone, I'm using Helmi's Dynamic Big Storage. Can't remember if this happened on my stock AT&T ROM.
Forced ringtone
This happened to me again. I think it happens after my phone locks up and has to be reset via button next to mic.
Anyway, I was fed up with this, so I figured if something keeps reverting our ringtone to default, why not change the default to the ringtone we want? I did a search in the registry for Ring-WindowsMobile and found/changed it at these keys:HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\Phone\Wave = ringtone
HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring\DefaultSound = ringtone
HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\RingPreview\DefaultSound = ringtone
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\Ring0\SavedSound = ringtone
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\Ring0\Sound = ringtone
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\Ring2\Sound = ringtoneI also added my ringtone the beginning of this multistring (in case the first is selected as default somewhere):HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingtonesHopefully this should take care of our problem!

Please advise if the above works and it rings your preferred ring tone. Thanks.
Does it work??
Hi BennTech,
Please advise whether your registry changes got rid of the WM ring tone and replace it with your preferred ringtone permanently.
Thanks!
So far so good...
I haven't posted back that they work because my ringtone switching happens rarely--maybe once or twice a week, and thus I can't verify that this fix works yet. However, I'll only be able to tell if the fix doesn't work, because if it does work, then when the phone switches back to "default" for no apparent reason, it should stay as my ringtone because the default IS my ringtone. Quid pro quo.
Regardless, there's no reason for you not to change them, too. However, if you're worried about what you're changing, here's a little more information:HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\Phone: default ringtone settings for known callers (I think)
HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring: default ringtone settings
HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\RingPreview: not sure where this one is used, but virtually every hack of the previous key changes this one as well
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\Ring0: your current ringtone settings
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\Ring2: no idea, but don't think it's used
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\Ringtones: multistring that lists only ringtones. Only these ringtones and the sound files from \My Documents\My Ringtones show up in the Phone control panel, as opposed to the Sound control panel that lists all sounds. If you put your ringtone in \Windows, you'll need to mod this to have it show up in Phone control panel.
Thanks for your feedback. Currently I am trying out mring and set the unknown/no caller ID/no specific ring tone assigned callers to play my favorite MP3 ring tone.
So I'll wait for the mring trial period expires, before I modify the registry based on your advice.
i could not set unique ring to each contact,bec my contacts were on my sims, u need to have the contacts in the phone memory to use that feature. once copied my contact to the phone it worked like a charm

That's not the problem we have. I don't use sim contacts at all, and I'm not trying to assign unique rings. We're setting the regular ringtone and it works for a period of time, but then it mysteriously reverts back to WM6's default Ring-WindowsMobile.
BTW, so far so good on my hack. Been a week and my ringtone hasn't reverted back to the lame default.

I have the same problem on my T-mobile Dash WM5. It happened after I installed PocketMusic. I uninstalled it , and no change yet. I restarted the phone, nothing.. :S I believe I have lost the mp3 plugin support, cuz the explorer doesn't recognize the mp3 format now. Can anyone help us please ?

I think you're trying to say that since you uninstalled PocketMusic, your .MP3 files are no longer associated to a media player and thus give you an error like "There is no application associated with..." when you launch them in Explorer. Correct? That's an extension-mapping problem, which you can correct with a utlity like Resco Explorer. This thread is about ringtones, specifically how our phone's ringtone mysteriously reverts back to the WM6 default.
Any idea why?
I have Xpress Mail set up to push my work emails to my Tilt. It seems that everytime a new email comes in via Xpress Mail, the ring tone will automatically revert to WM6 default ring tone (even though I've set it to use my favorite MP3 tone).
Other emails come in (not via Xpress Mail) do not cause the ring tone to change though.
What gives?????

Wow. That's weird. Personally, I don't use XpressMail because I've got my own Exchange server at home. My Exchange push doesn't appear to corrupt my ringtone.
However, at least this gives you a reproducible test to see if the hack works. Try changing the registry entries one at a time (or all three at once to different ringtones), send yourself an e-mail, and let us know if the hack fixes the problem and which registry entry it reverts to (should be HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring\DefaultSound).
I've made one registry change as per your advice as below
HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring\MyMP3 tone
Before email came in, called my Tilt (with blocked caller ID) it rang my MP3 tone perfectly. But then I sent myself an email (via Xpress Mail) and after the email came in, it reverted back to WM6 default ringtone. Worst was, when I called my Tilt (with blocked caller ID) it would display a call came in (private) but did not ring a sound.
Now I just changed the registry to the dafault WM6 tone again, at least I won't miss any call.
Are there anything I should do?
Sorry for late reply.
Well, shoot. I don't know what's going on there. I'm running out of ideas here, but there's still a few things to try/eliminate since you can reproduce the problem at will.
Check the ring volume. Do your test and check the ring volume just to be sure that's not the problem. I only bring this stupidly simple check because a couple of times my ring volume has mysteriously set itself to off despite the fact the I toggle between full and vibrate only.
Check if the issue is MP3 only. Change the registry values to a WMA sound file instead of MP3, then run your test to see if the problem is specific to MP3 or if it extends to Windows' default extension.
Test all registry entries. Change the values of all the registry entries I listed, preferably each to a different WMA ringtone, and test again. This should tell you which registry entry it's using when it corrupts the ringtone.
Search the entire registry for the default ringtone and replace it. As a last resort, do a simple find in your registry for "Ring-WindowsMobile" and replace all occurrences with another WMA file. There shouldn't be any others, but if there is, change them and test again (and let me know where they are).
I know this is a lot of tedious testing, but since the ringtone is kinda vital for phone functionality I guess its worth it.
Good news for me...my ringtone appears to finally be sticking. Haven't had it revert back since I made the registry changes two weeks ago. Woohoo!

1/ Ringtone is on
2/ Will give it a try with ringtone other than MP3
3/ I did change all registry settings but to no avail
Another thing I noticed is that, when Xpress Mail arrives, besides reverting the ringtone to WM6 tone, it also changes the ring type. I set it to Vibrate and ring, but it would revert to vibrate then ring. Strange.

Forgive me for replying here, as I own a TYTN, not a KAISER, but I too was having this issue using the stock AT&T WM6 Rom, and I also have Xpress Mail installed. I just used the regedit approach to find all of the places where the stock ringtone existed and replaced all of them with the name of the ringtone I want to use.
FWIW, I never associated the problem with Xpress Mail, as I found my phone reverted whenever it was boot ... either with a power cycle or a soft reset. I don't often SR, but as I change my batteries daily, it meant I had to remember to reset my ringtone every day or it was back to the default.
Anyway, after doing the regedit, I found my desired ringtone is now sticking between power-cycles and soft resets.
As an experiment, I finally sent myself an Xpress Mail, and I am happy to report that it did not change the ringtone back to the default.
But as a question to joeleung888 ... do you also have phoneAlarm installed? I mention this because:
1) I cannot see the association between this problem and Xpress Mail
2) There were some difficulties in development of phoneAlarm and the Tilt
3) phoneAlarm would be accessing both Xpress Mail AND your ringtone settings
Based on these three things, maybe the problem lies with the combo of phoneAlarm and Xpress Mail. Maybe try uninstalling each of them, one-at-a-time, and testing. It MIGHT isolate the problem. If the problem is with phoneAlarm, you should alert Bruce (aka Penguin) on the pA forums. He is always very helpful.
Anyway ... just an idea. Good luck,

I am VERY sorry if this has already been asked/answered. I did a search here, on Google and several other places and seem to keep getting similar topics but not the exact topic I need.
How do I set my tilt to play a different ringtone that the CALLER HEARS, not me.
For example, if John calls me, HE HEARS Ringtone A and if Mary calls me, SHE HEARS Ringtone B.
So, if I have someone from my business call me, they hear a conservative professional type ringing but if a friend of mine calls me, they hear something more progressive.
It doesn't matter to me what I HEAR... This is what I keep getting responses to in my searches.
Thanks,
M!

Ok.. you have to call your provider and ask for Caller Tones. You have to pay for that through your provider. I think it's pointless. Whenever I call someone and hear that I just hang up because I don't know whether it's a caller tone or some idiot who recorded his voicemail to a 2 minute Usher track. Traditional Ring is better I'd say.
I have an annoying collection agency calling me for something that is not mine and no matter how many times I tell them, they keep calling with an automated caller. I wanted to set the incoming call to play the "Disconnected phone #" tones that will make their system automatically remove me (kind of like a Tele-Zapper).
My provider is ATT...

I have no insight into the internals of PSTN networks and automated callers (thank god we don't have this nuisance in Europe), but isn't this kind information transfered "out of band" (i.e. outside the sound)? I don't think that machines do a sound frequency recoginition in order to detect the call state - hell, we're in the digital age!

you press some number to remove you on their list when they prompt you

You could set your voicemail to a service like youmail.com. They allow you to set your greeting per caller or group of callers including unknown/blocked numbers.

The SS7 network does pass certain calling information out-of-band however it triggers the calling switch to play the proper intercept message. In some instances where the calling & dialed switches cannot establish an SS7 connection then the intercept message is played by the dialed switch, etc, etc. So the actual message is played in-band... the caller does need to hear the message after all. And some auto-dialers do implement some sort of removal procedure if a dialed number results in an intercept message. So it would work in theory, similar to the Telezapper devices... however it would not be 100% effective because not every business cares enough to follow thru on issues such as that.
Answer tones
I tried the answer tones on mine. Verfied I could and after playing all day I looked up on answer tones and the 8525 is supported and not the 8925. So I lost out of my answer tones.
I use Youmail. Like it much better.
I highly recommend using www.youmail.com
I can import my contact list to the website. I can personalize responses to each person in my contact list. I can use the existing service that says, " Hello, (caller name). ______ (my name) is not available right now, please leave a message."
I can select pre recorded messages ( or purchase them). My son gets a theme song to Indiana Jones. They also have holiday specific messages.
Plus I can read or listen to my voicemail via the computer via a web application.
Great service!

Hi,
I'm not sure if anyone here can give me a hint on this, but here goes. I flashed my TyTN II with Dutty's 6.1 ROM a while back. I'm not sure if it's related, but for some reason my phone stopped playing the notification sound for when a text message is received.
In Settings > Sounds & Notifications, however, on the Notifications tab the "incoming text message" event is wired up to a sound just fine. Similarly, on the Sounds tab I have Events, Programs and Notifications all checkboxed.
Do you any other reason why this event wouldn't fire or why it doesn't play the notification sound?
Have you installed, or are you using Palm SMS?
There is a seperate option in Sound and notifications for Incoming Message (Palm SMS). You may need to change this to something else and then back again to get it to stick.

First of all, there is a thread about this rom, in which this problem is explained and solved at least 3 times, it's really not hard to search instead of making another thread that is just cluttering space for no useful reason.
If you disable the Microsoft Voice Command, your SMS sound will go back to a proper working order, you can do so In Start-->Settings--> MSVC
I think his question is legitimate. I have exactly the same problem and have also not found any solution in the more than 180 sides of the Dutty thread. And thanks for your hint with the Voice Commander. I tried it also but it still does not work.
Yeah, sorry. Didn't want to clutter up the forum with something that has already been covered. However, I don't even know if this is related to Dutty's ROM, but one seems to expect so. Searching for this problem has also proved a bit difficult. I just don't get any usable results.
I have not installed Palm SMS, unless it's installed on Dutty's ROM. However, I don't think so.
Furthermore, I don't believe I have Microsoft Voice Command, neither. As far as I can tell, it's commercial speech recognition software by Microsoft, and not standard with Windows Mobile 6.1.
I'll go through some of the many pages on the Dutty thread to see if I can find more information.

Have you installed any other software? Any registry tweakers like Kaiser Tweak etc? Dutty's ROM has AdvancedConfig installed by default. You may want to check the message settings in that.
Well, yes, I installed a ****load of applications. One could of course be the cause of all this, but I simply don't have any idea. AdvancedConfig has three messaging options:
- SMS sent notification: Disabled
- SMS delivery notification: Disabled
- SMS Unicode support: Enabled
Somehow SMS delivery notification doesn't sound like it's about incoming SMS messages, but it's strange that there is one for sent and delivery. So I'll enable that and see what happens.
Running low on ideas...but...
I take it all other sounds do work? If not try a new Radio.

Some time ago I had a similar problem. In settings/notification.... in the box for New text message there is a option to play to file. Even if I clicked the play, it didnt play the ringtone. Later after a hardreset I realized that it was someway connected to audio manager and playing wav files. The audio manager was not able to play the wav files. Maybe the file was not associated with the player. Just my two cents.
Alright, success! After setting SMS delivery notification to Enabled in AdvancedConfig, I tested it out. And there was both sound and vibration, too (which it didn't before neither). So I suppose that setting was the culprit, although I have no clue why it got set to Disabled. Also, I am amazed that apparently this really pertains to incoming text messages instead of messages I sent out.
Mikulec: I had some problems with ringtones before. Once it didn't want to play custom ones any more. Since I flashed my ROM, I never really figured out why it did that, but maybe it was because of some media player I had installed that took over some file associations. Who knows.

This setting is just for notifying u that the message u have sent was delivered. This shouldnt be tha cause.
But I am glad it works now.
This is annoying, then. It works now, but I'd like to know what fixed it. I did a few different things over the course of trying to fix my problem, of course, but nothing that I thought would be The Solution.
On top of this, I don't get a delivery notification for messages that I have sent after toggling that setting, so it appears to be not working correctly.
I suppose sometimes you just have to not ask questions and move on...
Thank you!
Thank you very much! After much time in searching, I've also didn't realized that is because of Advanced config. Now it's really works!
As above, delivery notifications would normally be a delivery receipt for messages that you've sent - when enabled you'll get a message from 'System Administrator' telling you when the SMS you sent was delivered to the receipient.
If enabling that has solved your problems, great. One thing to note though if you are getting receipts is that sometimes networks charge for these delivery receipts, and these generally won't be included in any allowances for SMS/calls etc. with your subscription.
In the UK I know Orange charge 0.9p for each one they send to you. ...My orange bill was £623 last month and one of their suggestions to reduce it was to turn delivery reports off. When I'd stopped laughing we agreed that wasn't really going to contribute too much!

Hi,
I had the same problem with my Touch HD (Blackstone). I change cooked ROMs a lot, and sometimes I don't have sounds in notification area (new SMS, new e-mail, etc...).
I use the Free Mp3 Wma Converter to convert all mp3's and wav's to wma format. After that, just transfer wma files to the /Windows directory on Your device, pick sounds in "Sounds & Notifications" and it should work It's just that easy
Use Case:
1. Call a conference call number eg: WebEx
2. You are asked to enter the meeting number
3. You press the numbers but no tones are played
Had a tech support call with Samsung just now.
Firstly they say this isn't a feature on EU Note 8s (WTF!)
Then say it should work out of the box and my phone is faulty so take it to a Samsung centre for evaluation / exchange
I reckon this is a software bug. Can someone else in the EU dial any number and when you're connected to the call, press a number on the dial pad and tell me if you hear the tone played?
Im not in EU, but in the states it works fine, i have many conference calls daily and it always works for me entering my codes to get into the call. It should be working fine on your model as well, possible a issue with the carrier side of things or its turned off in the hidden settings.
Edit:
Try ##DATA#, if it brings up a menu, put in 000000 as your msl, then go to More, then go to DTMF SET. See if its off or not set at all? US model has a option here for this at least.
Hi
The ##2832# doesn't work on my phone. It's a real pig seeing as I work remotely!
Don't even seem to be able to use a 3rd party DTMF tone generator either (well I can but the system at the other end isn't hearing the tones).

I have a Galaxy N950N and I have this same issue. Did you ever get this working? I can't seem to find a secret service menu to enable it, and I know I'm doing something wrong here.
Hi
Not specifically a fix but the only place I'm having issues with is WebEx. If you try your voicemail, does that work ok? Mine is fine but for some reason WebEx isn't

Mine doesn't work across the board, irrespective of voicemail or other conference call. No dial tone is played in-call when you press the dial pad.

Figured it out. It's the CSC. Apparently, it doesn't work properly with the N950N (at the least the one I had installed, which was default with the Renovate ROM). I had to use the Flashable CSC Selection V1.2.5 from Tkkg1994, manually add the greatlte line into it, and once flashed, I got all the options in the dialer for TTY (I think which relates to DTMF), and most importantly, sound feedback when pressing the dialpad while in-call.
Solution
Go to settings -> sound and vibration -> uncheck the the dialling keypad tones(if checked).
Hope this helps!
this works. Go figure... you disable the dialling keypad tones and you can now use the keypad tones. Thanks for the help. This has infuriated me for months
I had not payed any attention to this, as I used some services that require you to input numeric options during call, and all worked fine, but, yes, no tones heard, but the tones are sent anyway
What worked for me was dialing the original number manually - not from the phone memory or contacts!
I use a Gigaset HC450 Doorbell that is able to divert a call.
This is a rare device, check ebay, it is a DECT phone on a Siemens Gigaset IP Base Station with a SIP provider configured)
So if someone presses the doorbell button on the Gigaset HC450 and status is set to AWAY
then the configured SIP provider inside the BASE station does an external call to my mobile because I set up my mobile number inside the HC450 Menu for Diversion
So my mobile is a Samsung Note 8, at the moment i run Stock Hungarian unbranded firmware N950F
When there is a call from the doorbell, there is a sentence said by a female voice: "Doorbell is ringing, to connect press 1, to stop press hash"
I cannot proceed by pressing 1, neither with Dialpad tones activated nor deactivated, and also a 3rd party DTMF tone generator does not work
Someone in this thread said it was fixed by flashing different CSC, which i think is not true because many said that they got webex fixed by simpy DEACTIVATING dialpad tones
I am greatful for all ideas that you have in order to get this working, its a new challange and I found this thread so I posted my topic here, too
Thank you very much for reading
