Static/clicking sounds on New Microsoft Voice Cmd Ver.1.5

Does anyone have Microsoft voice command version 1.5? And if you do, with the incoming caller announcement enabled, do you get a static clicking sound on your phone device when you get and incoming phone call? I am using a XDA IIs and have this issue. Is there a work around for this issue? Any help would be greatly appreaciated.
Thanks,
Mike

I too have the problem of sound stuttering.
I've never installed any version of voice command.
Al applications playing sound, like media player or any other music player and even the spoken words from TomTom seem to suffer from this.
Since all WAV/MP3 audio seems te suffer from this I gather it must be a CODEC issue of some sort, probably caused by installing some application that has overwritten system files.
Does anybody know a way to solve this ?
It does not seem to occur after a hard reset, I havent tried reinstalling applications one by one to find the culprit, I just restored a Sprite backup.

Yes, I've got the same problem... I just upgraded to VC1.5, and the clicking is only on the announcement of incoming calls... all else seems fine.
Treo

same here with my pda2k.

I have the same issue.
To solve that, Just disable this function.
Tap at start >setting >personal >voice command
at Phone option disable "Announce incoming calls"
I think version 1.5 has so many option that you can select more that the old one.
Voice command over bluetooth is still not work.

I'm afraid this is a more general problem (see earlier threads). There are also problems with WM10 and GPS. I've found that WM10 is OK when No other programm is running. GPS is a larger programm and continues to give voice problems. Maybe the problem can be solved if we could increase the working memory. Who has a suggestion?

I know un checking that option will fix the issue but then I can't use it. So it does not solve the issue. LOL so if anyone does know a way to make the audio a higher priority or something to make it work please let me know.
Thanks,
Mike

Fixed it, you have to use resco and change audio priority in settings to 110 in registry. Works like a charm now.

Hi Mikee4fun,
Could you be more specific about which key/value/data in registry that you changed to fix this?
Thanks in forehand!

Can you share the registry entry that needs to be changed?

Ditto, I'd like to know too please cos I've got the same problem.
Own an XDAIIs and use Microsoft Voice Command 1.5 with the stuttery incoming call announcements. Everything else works flawlessly.
Is Microsoft Voice Command the dogs b*ll*cks when it comes to voice recognition! It's the most accurate voice recognition system I've come across. Well done Microsoft, you've made something that works well (for a change ) , apart from stuttery voice announcements of course.

anybody experiencing about 1 to 2 second lag before the ringtone actually rings when you have incoming calls with announce incoming call enabled?
I'm having voice command installed on my Storage area of my Xda ii mini. I'm wondering if that's the reason why it lags?

Here is the exact registry entry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev\Priority256
A detailed thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=107031#107031

Well I just noticed this static noise while announcing the name with MVC or playing any other audio on the Blue angel only, I tried it on the hima it works flawlessly it never occured

VC 1.5 static problems
:twisted: yup just tried the fix with resco registry editor and all is fine
thx for the info
just another reason why this site is so good imo

(1) Is XDA Orbit unlocked ? (2) Anyone tried Skype ?

Just a few questions to those that have already bought
1. Is it SIM unlocked ?My XDA Exec was, so I assume O2 is carrying on the tradition ?
2. How is skype performance over wifi ?
many thx
c.

dunno about the sim lock
to use skype you need to boost the CPU to 264Mhz otherwise it can handle voice on skype properly
its easliy done and when done works perfect

I use Skype with it, works very slow, voice does work kind of delayed.... but still.... intrested to know how you over clock it though?

Do a search for 'omapclock', its freeware. I've got my Orbit overclocked to 264mhz and its much zippier through the menus. I've got skype installed as well but haven't got around to trying it via wifi yet.

Hi
I used omapclock - does it but does not keep it all the time??
any suggestions.

Tried the current Skype Version today without overclocking the device.
SkypeOut works great for me AFTER disabling 3 codecs in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Skype/Phone/Audio/DisableCodecs
Put into the field: ILBC G729 EG711U
That disables 3 codecs.
Calls to the Skype-Echo/Sound-Test won't work - but SkypeOut worked fine for me via WiFi - but only through the hands-free speaker of the phone.
Any idea how to use the normal speaker?

I've posted a question in an Eten forum re using the normal speaker. The X500 has an app that switches Skype from the handsfree to the normal speaker.
Still on Skype, a version 2.2 (beta) has been released yesterday that has been optimised to work on 200MHz processors. Is this the one you have tried, and in this case how is the quality in general?

No, I tried the "old" one from December 11.
The German Skype website doesn't provide the new version yet - I had to switch to the English site.
I'll test the new 2.2 Version this evening.
Anyone tested this app (what's it called?) from the x500 to use the normal speaker?

Re. the X500 I'm hoping to receive a reply as to what registry settings need to be changed, and I've also asked if the CAB with the app can be extracted. I'll post the reply when I receive one.
EDIT: StiflersMom - When testing Skype 2.2 could you please try without/with overclocking (if indeed you overclock) and tell us about the separate results?

sooooo, have you unlocked your artemis? i have a MDAc 3, and it is still unlocked, can somebody help me? Please!

I read somewhere that Omapclock settings are lost after switching the phone off. Try BatteryStatus instead (freeware). Despite the name it has several other options, including cpuspeed settings.

Just plonked my Orange sim into an O2 XDA Orbit and works fine so looks like they are sim free.

I have used skype lite version over GPRS. it worked, and i was able to talk to other ppl, but the gprs speed is very slow so my voice was crackling a lot, while other person's voice did come in a bit clear.
will try with wifi sometime soon!

Just used Skype 2.2 over Wifi to my land line and it was as good as any phone no issue so far any way. Pretty sure i wasnt overclocked at the time. I was happy enough to load up £10 quids qorth of credit ( though seems scammy to buy 10 quid credit and have to pay 11.50 :/ inc tax.
Does anyone know a tester to test stabillity of the overclock ? its really dangerious for me i cant help but keep trying a higher oc had at 280 for 5 seconds before i chickened out lol only had less then a day
I have the 3.1 ROM with cube thingy and it has a, um for lack of better word menu bar, i press and hold for a moment to access the options. There you can set the OC to stay on always.
I dont know how far too push it ( i overclock everyhting any way i used to over clock my crt monitor lol ) but without stabillity test i am abit worried i'll screw the rom or somthing.
FYI on the overcloking the hotter it gets usually decreases the mount you can overclock stabally, this prog also shows temp, my one seemed perfectly stable at 247 @ 40c quite warm i had wifi going full and was streaming radio, also shows power pulled its pretty damn neat... i am luvin my orbit i have had it almost 24 hours now lol nd thanks too all the good work done by people have it pretty tweaked and close to near how i want it very quickly a hours instead of days n maybe weeks so thsnks
Ed oh i baught mine off ebay it was a month old when i got it and it was sim unlocked but not CID unlocked. payed £200 seems good to me concidering the tomtom i baught as a prezzy forsomeone came in over £100.

Someone got VOIP working on his Artemis?

I flashed my phone with the WM6 PDAMobiz rom.
I installed the apps I need, and right now I'm pretty satisfy with this rom and my Orbit.
But one of the main reasons why I flash the phone to WM6, was cause on WM6 it should be able to get VOIP working on the phone.
I tried several things, but I just can't get VOIP working on the Orbit.
Whatever I do or try it always says "VoipBuster" searching
Any ideas?
Thanks

What data plan do you have on your account?

Ok, I finally manage to get this working ;-)
Now my Orbit looks more and more the perfect device to me.
My next thing on the whishlist for the Orbit is SDHC support, so I can put a 4 gig card in my Orbit
@Gajet, euh what dataplan? I'm using VoipBusterPro for a several months now, in the beginning I was using it with my Nokia N80 and now finally with my Orbit.
The countries I need to call to is free (not really free, cause they charge you a connection fee of 3.9 eurocents for every call you make!)

Skype works just fine!

Hey guys!
Skype works just fine on my newly upgraded HTC P3300 but I must say that "Battery Status" (overclocked at 247 Mhz) does the trick!
While talking with Skype my battery reaches up to 42 Celsius... Hope I will not FRY my device... A couple of minutes after then talk it drops down to the average 34 Celsius.
On an other account I must say that on the WM6 rom I just flashed, WMP does not play MP4 (very strange!) and in the Start/Settings I am missing some items (Voice Commands for example!)... Any idea how to fix that?
Thanx,
SiperX

Hi CG,
Normally Voice Speed Dial should be in Settings and not in Programs.
I have used Voice Speed Dial quite a lot in WM5 as I controlled almost totally by voice commands (calls to contacts, applications/utilities) my device.
With this rom (not having it in Settings) you open it in Programs (so you can access its function but not the configuration/options), you save some voice tags and once you have closed it you cannot open it any more to add/remove/edit voce tags....
I hope I made myself understood... Try it on your device and you will see what I mean...
Any suggestion is welcome.
Thanks in advance,
SiperX

WM 6.1 and MS Voice Command 1.6

Anybody get this working? If so, what hacks did you have to use? Would be really interested to know this. Thanks.
Jim

I am running RanDomIze WM6.1 and it works fine, even with Bluetooth headset. No hacks needed

f you need to hack, as Pays 6.1 I needed them and Schaps 6.1 I didn't, Here is one of them, the other is too big to upload but here is the name..MSVC_1.60_WM6_8525

I'm using Schaps and I think I need to try the hack. I'm getting the notifications and rings through the handset not my BT. I'm using a Plantronics Voyager. Will try the hack. Oh, and I am using the new VC that was published in October.
Thanks,
Jim

OK I got it working...sort of.
Using the MSVC_1.60_WM6_8525 file, I got notifications through BT. BUT it only gives me one notification then it stops. But the caller still hears ringing. Not sure if this is a nuance or an issue with my BT.
Thanks,
Jim

I use one titled msvc 1.60 all working, or something real close to that.

I am using both and mine works fine

Voice Command

is there any rom that works with MS Voice Command?
It seems that on Stock roms it causes all sorts of bugs (internet connection shutting down etc, and then stops working?)
With 1000 contacts, Cyberion is not too useful?
And yes people. I have googled and searched please keep flame throwers off....

Hi,
have you tried this patch (link below)? It's for Elf, but perhaps it also works on Diamond.
I can't test it atm, cause my ordered Diamond was shipped today, so I have to wait a few more days

Hi,
can you tell me your version of VC?
Greets

@mikeycollins13
Today I get my Diamond. My 'old' VC works perfect.
VC version: 1.60.4622.0 with patch from link above.

Activating Voice Command
I currently have a kaiser and am considering a daimond. One hesitation is, how can you activate voice command on the diamond without having a button to map it too? I know it will also work via a headset, but what about just by using the phone itself?
