Why Call history is limited to <300 calls??

Dear all, I have noticed that on my himalaya WM2005 even if the call history duration is increased to "never" the history retains the maximum call log of upto 300 calls only . changing the registry value of HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone\CallHistoryMax to any value (from 000000FF to FFFFFFFF) no improvement is noticed.
Is there any way to increase the call log memory allocation size?????

you can Set the Folder variable in the Node macros so that calls will get filed into specific folders. This will expedite locating specific types of calls.
Keep the Call History tidy: delete calls that are no longer needed. If you are using the default Call History, use the Compact Call History File option in the Tools menu to reduce the size of the database. If you are using a custom Call History, use your own database tools to maintain the Call History. An excessively large Call History will slow down Active Call Center, so keep the Call History as small as possible.
-If the Call History gets corrupted or there is a need to start with a blank Call History, copy the file named "Blank Phone Call Log.mdb" to "Phone Call Log.mdb" in the Active Call Center program folder. The "Phone Call Log.mdb" file is the Call History used by Active Call Center; the blank log is a blank template provided to accommodate these situations.
-If you have Microsoft Access, Microsoft Visual Basic, or some other means to read Microsoft Access 2000 databases, you can access the default Call History directly and manipulate it. The default Call History is saved in the file "Phone Call Log.mdb" in the Active Call Center program folder. Do not change the format of the existing Call History database tables. More details on using the Call History for advanced applications is provided in the next section.
-For applications that do not require use of the Call History, Call History features can be selectively disabled. For example, they may be limited to saving only time and CallID numbers by changing the settings under Tools ... Voice Telephony Settings to not save data to the Call History. Call History features can also be disabled completely by unchecking the Use Call History to generate a sequential Call ID option. This can significantly improve application performance where detailed logging is not required or wher logging is managed within the scripts.

Same problem with HTC Pro2 win 6.5 - registry key is not working.
So, I installed software festinger.net
freeware
and in settings of this soft - menu - there is option to set log file length to 10000 calls - so I did it and now log started growth ... please try
Oh yes but actual WM6.5 log is not growing - same 300 records only. 10000 calls are collecting in another file by Software.
Problem was partially solved - I can keep call log in another software,
but to overcome limit of calls log in 300 records in WM 6????

how can i intercept a phone call?

what i want to do is to automatically add a specific prefix to all outgoing calls made, for the purpose of saving calling fee in my area. for instance, i want to add 1234 before any call number, whether it's from call history, contact, or any other sources.
im a .net developer, but i didn't find any managed library that can intercept a phone call and make modifications to it. i also explored the TAPI a little bit, it appeared to be able to do the work for me. but the problem is i've no idea of c++ programming.
so is there anybody here who can help me on how to wrap these native methods into managed counterparts?
any/other clue would be appreciated.

Take a look at Google Voice. Perhaps that might be simpler to use to save money on calls?

Hi,
try with Settings > Connections > Advanced > Dialing Rules
I think you can setup a profile that fit your needs.

doesn't work. and i don't think that setting is for phone connection.

actually i've changed my idea to developing a separate application to access call history and contact. and then when call button is clicked, use the managed Phone class to dial out. this still needs native dll as to accessing the call history. but this seems to be more practical than intercepting outgoing calls.

iDialer
http://supware.net/iDialer/
Not sure if this is exactly what you want, but I use this with my Googlevoice configuration to make free calls. Here's how I have it set up:
1. Installed iDialer
2. Installed configuration CAB that I built through the iDialer website
3. Click the phone icon within iDialer to set it to "Ask" which service to use.
4. I also have installed iContact, so I then go the contact I want through iContact.
5. I select the number for that contact that I want to dial (Home, Work, Mobile, etc.)
6. My phone brings up a pop-up asking:
-Alltel
-GoogleVoice Internet
-GoogleVoice CallingCard
7. I select what I want and it dials that instantly.
This works VERY well for me, and I am able to use my callingcard for out-of-network calls, and Alltel for quick in-network calls.
Hope this info helps!
jakewill

thanks for the details.
i have 2 queries b4 actually trying it:
1. does the phone call get available via the network? if yes, then it's not applicable for me, cos i'm using gprs which is slow if i want to transfer voice.
2. i checked out google voice and found that it only supports numbers in US. true?

Moved as not software release or development.
Please take your time to read the rules..

Displaying A Selected Contact In Call Log When Multiple Contacts Share Same Number

The following Google Contacts are stored in an Android Phone for ACME Corporation:
Amy Appleseed
John Doe
Pedro Valdez
Amy, John and Pedro all share a work telephone number.
I'm working with Pedro on a project and would like to track the dates and times of our phone conversations using the call log on my Android phone.
However, even though Pedro is manually selected from the contact list, Amy Appleseed appears as the called party because she is the first contact for ACME Corporation, which are listed alphabetically.
This behavior can be consistently duplicated on a Motorola Milestone X2 (Droid X2) running 2.3.6 stock but this has been an issue on every Android phone I have ever owned from Android 2.1 to 2.3.6.
Is there any way that I can call Pedro AND have his name appear in my Call Log using Android?

I think that's just the way it works. i.e. the call log program is unaware of how the call was made--it just knows which number was dialed and at what time and resorts to a reverse look up to get the name. You can sort of see this from the way the numbers pop up...and then the names start filing in. Also, after adding a new contact for a number, the contact name magically appears in the call log.
I know its a hack, but what if you try variations on the number for your contacts with the same phone number? For example:
123-123-1234
123-1234
+1-123-123-1234
1-123-123-1234
Depending on your phone company, these may all dial the same phone number (but, you'll want to confirm that they won't charge you long distance for using 11 digits to dial a local number). With luck, they may fool Android into thinking that they're different phone numbers.
As for incoming calls, though, you may want to make a contact for just the company with a number that matches whatever your call display pops up when either person calls. There's no way it'll know who's on the other end if the call display is the same across your colleagues.
Hope this helps,

Hi cttttt,
Thanks for the response. The reverse lookup of the first contact listed for a number is understandable for an incoming call, but I would think there should be a way where dialing outbound from a manually selected contact would write the selected contact name to the Call Log.
Is this something that could be accomplished with a third party app? Perhaps a dialer with a contact look-up that rewrites the call log to reflect the selected contact (or keep a call log of its own)?
I'd appreciate the input of a developer or anyone with experience with the OS to suggest whether this can be accomplished programmatically...

Found It!
I was searching for the same thing for my GS3 and found this solution:

Short answer: create a contact on the phone (not google/gmail), it seems to search those first.
The link gives other stuff you can do; I found the above to work quite well.

Android Advice: Shared Home Phone Numbers
One of the things that has always annoyed me with cell phones is that there is no good way to handle multiple people having the same home phone number. Android’s contact manager allows multiple contacts to share the same number (because the database is not indexed by phone number, like on many older phones). This still wasn’t perfect for me, however. When a phone number shared by multiple contacts calls, the first match (sorted alphabetically A-Z) is displayed on the caller ID screen and in the call log. Fortunately, this consistency means we can manipulate the system to display a custom name. The following steps illustrate the technique:
1. Lets say we have a theoretical family: John and Jane Smith. They each have a cell phone, but live together and therefore share a home phone number. They each are added in Android with their mobile number as their primary number, and their home number as their secondary number. Both can be called at either their home or mobile number from the contact list. When a phone call is recieved from their home number, Jane Smith is displayed in the caller id and call logs because she is first alphabetically.
2. For this technique to work cleanly (without any additional clutter), you must have your Android contact manager set only to display “My Contacts” (this settings is under Contacts > Menu > Display Group > My Contacts)
3. Log into Gmail and switch the contacts view
4. Create a new group to put these combined “metacontacts” (I called the group “Metacontacts”)
5. Force your G1 to synchronize contacts (Home Screen > Menu > Settings > Data synchronization > Uncheck and then recheck “Contacts”)
6. Tell your G1 to synchronize this new “Metacontact” group (Contacts > Menu > Edit sync groups > Check “Metacontacts”)
7. On your Gmail Contact Manager, in the “Metacontact” group, press the new contact button (person with a +)
8. Enter the name you want to display when the number calls (ex: “The Smith Family” or “John and Jane Smith”)
9. Add some form of symbol in front of the contact’s name to cause it to be first alphabetically. I used a period because it takes up the least space, and then put a period at the end as well for symmetry ( .The Smith Family. )
10. Add the shared home phone number to this new contact
11. Press the save button
12. Press the “Groups” button and then click “Remove from… My Contacts”. This will prevent the contact from showing up in Android’s contact list, but because we chose to synchronize the “Metacontacts” group, it will still be in Android’s database when it does a caller ID lookup.
13. Repeat steps 7-12 for each custom home phone number contact
14. Force your G1 to synchronize contacts again (Home Screen > Menu > Settings > Data synchronization > Uncheck and then recheck “Contacts”)
15. The new custom contact name will now show up in the call logs and when the number calls, but each individual contact (ex: John and Jane) will still have the number stored, so you can call their home number by clicking their name in contacts.
It works almost perfectly for me, but there are few caveats to this method that you should be aware of:
Every time you change the combined contact (“metacontact”), it automatically readded to the “My Contacts” group and you will have to remove it
The combined contact (“metacontact”) will have the symbol you chose (in my case, a period) in front of their name, so if this bothers you, this isn’t the technique for you

apk to automatically making calls

Hey there!
I like to Streamlining my android system usage with least input required
Is there any apk or script that allow me to automatically making calls all my contact numbers without tediously always manually doing it what takes so much time, I would like option allowing it able to call each groups etc.
SO i can just pick up 40 contacts and It will keep calling each 40 numbers in linear order one by one, so it will make able to start another call from every time previous call is finished or not picked. and there is way to stop it of course then too.
scheduled phone calls by time
app on automatically calls all # in fashion of
contact1#1 call end then continue automatically to next line
contact1#2
contact2#1
contact3#1
...etc
I just like to call my friends and keep up with them, without constantly needing to manually select another contact and use my hands.
also I would like to have ability call randomly and endlessly to my contacts
-so hands-free way to automatically call to many contact
2. issue
Then I like to have a way to cut extra useless extra seconds of operator play after miscall .
3.
I need statistical presentation of contacts activity
app that show each phone numbers activity such as a total text received all time for each contacts, calls.
so I can see which phone numbers are inactive
4.
I want able to have group message which all are unique and using
if in example I am sending 50 people same group message
I want each message to be unique like, in first line i want to able to have each receiving person contact name
xx person contact name xx rest message same
5.
how can I take off "refreshing" pop up android messaging search
thanks.

Looking for any way to prevent call log entries from deletion

Hi,
I'm looking for any way to prevent call log entries from deletion. Main reason for that is the phone are carried by employee and I need to know if he's picking up every phone call from potential client. So he could be unable to clear missed calls and tell me that no one was calling at that time. That mean I need to know every entry from call log and and a way to prevent deleting entries possibility. I could manually check phone at the end of the day or if there's any app that could send me a full call log that cannot be modified by employee. So far I rooted phone, but I don't know what could I look for from this step.
Thanks in advance, cheers!
