Voice Command 1.6 Announcing Incoming calls

I remember in the past that Microsoft Voice Command would announce who was phoning me when my contacts were phoning me. i.e "call from X on mobile phone" it would say. It does not do this anymore. I have fiddled with Settings/voice command and the phone option there and tried all combinations to no avail. If anyone knows a fix I would be greatful, as i do not like to remove phone from case and fiddle around, to know who is calling me. BTW I am running Duttys WM6 Rom, if that helps.
I would be greatful for any insight/assistance.

It doesn't work. We are all hoping M$ addresses this issue and provides a fix or new version which does as intended.

Thanks for that Info..
Thanks for letting me know. Saved me a lot of time trying to find a solution. As you say i will wait for a fix from Microsoft. It must be specific to the 1.6 version...as it was working at some stage..most likely when i had the 1.5 version.

You are correct. The closest you can come to a solution is the various fixes that will announce everything else thru your headset when you push the headset button. *sigh*

I have the opposite problem. i am using v1.5 and I would like the announcement of who's calling me to STOP. Even on vibrate/silence, the voice will say "such and such calling from mobile"... it's extremely annoying and i dont know how to stop it.

so it is working with black 2.5? how??

I'm sorry i wasn't more clear. I am using the original WM5 ROM (what can I say, its a work phone!)...

(ignore me - just re-read the thread)

my MSVC 1.6 announces the caller to me on the device. I think the only thing I had to do was change the default setting from announcing over bluetooth to use bluetooth if available. I still have all the same issues as everyone else with announcing over the headset but everything works fine from the device.

The problem with not have the call announced is for WM6 only. By you sig you are running WM5

MSVC 1.6 will install on WM6 and WM5, MSVC 1.5 installs on WM5 only.
The problem of NOT announcing callers is related to PDA phones running WM6 on a Samsung processor.
Both Microsoft and HTC are working on a fix, I guess HTC's WM6 official release will have the fix.

4MB PagePool, perhaps?
Just curious - has anyone thought that this problem may have something to do with the defaul Page Pool size of 4MB in most of these cooked ROM's we're using? I seem to remember some of the very first WM6 ROM's we started to play around with had Voice Command working "properly" with regard to incoming call announcement. I've not yet tried Black 3.xx which has a 6MB PagePool - jj made a comment about 4 not being "enough".
I'd love to have this feature back.
Incidentally, I'm not the n00b my profile indicates - I've been browsing and playing around on here since owning my Wallaby, but I can't seem to remember that old username. Oh well.

Cab Fix
ZaJules created a cab fix for this, and I have had to use it on every rom since Vanilla WM 6.0. Check my sig, that's a few releases ago.
Here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296762&page=2&highlight=zajules+bt+cab
Also check out the search criteria: BT Cab and you can also add fix and guess what? It will show you the love.

No, not the BT "fix"
No, I'm not interested in the BT fix - I've accepted the fact that we'll never have true BT headset integration with the Hermes and VC 1.6, but incoming calls are no longer announced through the speaker as they were previously. I've also ruled out the "4MB PagePool" theory as I believe the LVSW variant I'm using has a 6MB Page File size.

Bump....is there a fix?

Yes; sort of. Go through this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=312344

Here's a cab for the fix for MS Voice Command 1.6 announcing incoming callers through the loudspeaker. It works fine on the latest "official" WM6 ROM.

@ NRGZ28,
Do you have Unknown callers announced? Also what about notifications?

I'm sorry but I havent tested that out. For me, the fact that known callers are announced is the most important. I would imagine that if it doesnt, that means it's unknown caller... hehe

About to give up on WM6

Between the buggy as hell Call History, the unfixed phantom alarms, the non-existent reminders, and crappy third-party program support (Orb, etc.), I have found myself on the brink of going back to WM5. Now before I throw in the towel, anyone know if an update is being released to address these issues. If not, anyone know where I can find the T-Mobile WM5 ROM?

the phantom alarms has a fix look it up i cant remember where i found it.... i havent had a problem with my call history so wat is wrong wit yours?...the reminders has a fix also right on this forum u have to edit ur profile xml... and if your other problem has to do with the rotated video theres a fix for that too just look and you will find...and the other third party stuff dont know i guess wait for an update...

getwsted at HF found a solution for the screen rotation issue:
Add the following Key "Rotation" under HKLM\System\GDI\
e.g. [HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation]
Then Add this dword.
"LandscapeMode"=0
It solved my problem with Orb and other Videos with WMP in full screen mode.

Wow, I guess I should feel lucky. I dont have any of those problems with my WM6 upgrade s620. I have loaded documents-to-go, ewallet, MunduIM, Opera, and Mapopolis and the only problem I have is running out of memory.

How to get Oz on the home screen?

My sister just got herself a Dash and I want to add Oz to the home screen as I did on my Blackjack. Now, obviously, the clsid of the plugin should be different, but upon searching the registry, I'm not even sure the plugin is there or registered. Is there any way to get the Oz plugin on the homescreen? Does anyone have the code for the xml

Anyone have any ideas at all?

i do not think this is possible.

Why not, though? It's the same application that's on the Blackjack and it works fine on my Blackjack.

no reg key is available (at least to me during my research) to make this possible.
try taking the keys and program files off the blackjack and import them to the dash...see if that works.
i have madden 07 on the xbox and playstation. same concept, same game, but my ps madden will not play on the xbox. why not, though?

I'll try that later.
By the way, your analogy is flawed since the PS and Xbox are completely different platforms. Both of these devices are Windows Mobile 6. It's like saying a Dell won't run MS Office because it's not a Compaq. Not much logic to it.

Got it finally. Thanks for the idea. Took the blackjack plugin, imported the registry setting and then re-did the theme's xml fast. Took a second loading of the theme to get the plugin working, but it's all good now.

cool. care to share?

You want the plugin file and the registry key? I'll gladly share, just let me know what you want. I won't share the theme file simply because I made a few changes to it, for her, to remove the crap she won't use such as the calendar.

So you know, the first time you load the theme after setting up the plugin, you'll get an "unknown certificate" (can't remember exact prompt) prompt asking you to grant permission to run the file. You have to grant it permission the first time only.
Also, the DLL file Goes in the "\\Application Data\Home".
And of course the files:

Fix for playing ringtones over bluetooth headset.

If you're just looking for a quick fix, there's a cab attached that changes the registry. Otherwise, read on for an explanation.
After much searching, I finally found an explanation of the HandsFree Profile settings that let me actually hear my ringtones over the headset when someone called. The explanation of the bitmask for the supported features is taken from the Bluetooth Hands Free Profile Specification v1.5.
The registry key that needs to be changed, along with my settings for it:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WIDCOMM\Plugin\HandsFree]
"SupportedFeatures"=dword:000005EF (1519)
A soft-reset is required before the changes will take effect.
Below are the details for the bitmask for the supported features. I only found an explanation of the first 9 bits, but that covered everything I cared about.
0x001 - Three-way calling
0x002 - EC and/or NR function
0x004 - Voice recognition function
0x008 - In-band ring tone capability (this is the relevant one)
0x010 - Attach a number to a voice tag
0x020 - Ability to reject a call
0x040 - Enhanced call status
0x080 - Enhanced call control (I also enabled this one, but I haven't verified it's actually working yet)
0x100 - Extended error result codes

Stud!
Man you are the man! People should be thanking you up and down for finding a fix for this ringtone issue. Anyway mighty thanks this fix works great!

Sorry but cudnt quite get it, do I have to change the value of SupportedFeatures to 1519 to get this thing to work

heck yeah! ton of thanks!! I was wondering why this wouldn't work..I'm going to try it after dinner..just flashed my first rom today, Energy, (yeah!!!) and gotta figure out how when I press the button on my BT headset to get the speak voice dialer thing to come up..

Sexkgp
Just download cab file and install.....the value will change to 1519 in the registry.....and then your golden!

So, I have a bluetooth carkit that runs as a "headset" and A2DP so the music can play over the speakers in the car. When a call comes in the ring that comes through the stereo is an upward sounding chime.... This will replaced that chim with the actual ring ton played on my phone? Is this the normal sound (the chime) for headsets or does every headset make its own ring sound when a call is coming in? Sorry just thought I would ask before giving this cab a go.
Thanks!

Fenux, you are a genius! I've been looking for something like this since I had my Treo 700P! This works flawlessly. Thanks a million.

htc wing
Hey I read your post about being able to hear ringtones. I’m a novice at this can anyone explain it to me in simple terms? I have a HTC wing. I downloaded the cab put don’t know where to install it.
I was looking at this part of your post but where do you get into the registry for your phone?
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WIDCOMM\Plugin\HandsFree] "SupportedFeatures"=dword:000005EF (1519)
Can you help a rookie?

Shawn,
If you're using the cab, you don't have to mess with the registry at all, that's what the cab does for you. Just copy it over to your phone (onto the memory card is best if you have one), and just run it from there. When it runs, it will ask you if you want to install to the phone or to the memory card, be sure to chose "phone". That's all that you have to do.
Now, that's not to say it will necessarily work on the Wing...the registry key that the cab modifies may be in a different place, or not exist at all on that phone.

It creates that registry value for you, which should just activate the feature that allows the ringtones to be sent over the bluetooth connection to your headset.

did anyone make a note of the original value? I forgot to jot it down before making changes. Oops

Did you click on the cab to run it?

wow amazing dude thanks i was looking for this :S since i have some free numbers and the usually call me and hang so i can call back now i can know if i should han ong or press to talk, thanks ;D

I have a bluetooth hands-free carkit, it works fine with calls , but when i got sms i got no notification in the car radio and my pro 2 also casue its on hands free give no sound at all..so sms go unnoticed when iam driving
any help to make sms notification on the hands-free?

Wow, man!! How did you found that 1519 number? I got the Hand Free Profile but couldn't understand how to put the numbers together. I changed SupportedFeatures to 1085 because is the number that makes me pick up calls from my car, but it would be great to combine both numbers.

[Q] FingerKB registry key moved in Mango?

Hi folks,
I found a way to add extra "alternate" keys to the WP7 keyboard. For example, when you press-and-hold on . you get the ability to intead insert ! or ? or -. Now, those are all very nice, but the , key has no such expansion, and there's no easy way to get to the ; ' " keys... so I added them as expansions on the , key.
The problem is, this doesn't work on Mango. I can still apply the changes (using ProvXML) but it seems that the registry key I need to set has moved. Since registry browsing doesn't work anymore, I don't know where that key went.
If somebody can look at a Mango registry dump or something and find out, that would be fantastic. I think the addition of user-switchable keyboard layouts is probably the source of the issue, but I'm not sure. The original provXML (works in NoDo), with path highlighted, is
<characteristic type="HKLM\Software\Microsoft\FingerKB\AlternateMappings">
<parm name="," value=";'"()" datatype="multiplestring" />
</characteristic>

Nobody? I really loved having this tweak on NoDo but without registry browsing I can't tell where it went. If somebody has some way to dump the relevant section of the registry from a Mango phone, that would be much appreciated!
