Fun With Voice Command - HTC Excalibur

Well, figured out how to change the speed of the voice, and working on changing the character
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms717036.aspx#_Toc494873937
However, does anyone know how to change what seems to be the easiest? Increasing the volume!?

In order to increase the volume , navigate to HKCU\Control Pannel\SoundCategories\VoiceCommand1 Then change the value of AttenuationCategory from 4 to 1
Sound of the voice command will be even higher than the ringing tone.
You can also change the value of InitVol to 40.
Hows That!!???

Thanks man. I googled up a little info about using other TTS dat files, but has anyone had any success? For one, I cannot seem to find any since I don't have Office....

Keep the system volume low than the ringing volume. Hint about where you can find. Its on the top of your device screen where you can see the speaker. Left one is for system volume and right one is for the ringer. Ringer mean at the call time and when message arrives. Till this date I didn't see any regedit here on this forum.

What rom are you using? as it could be a bug with that particular rom.
Have you tried posting in that thread with this question?

On Screen Keyboard Question

Hello guys,
Just received my device today and I am loving it to bits. Just one question tho and I haven't seen anyone asking this question.
When you go into SMS messages tab and click on new message. When I click on the 'to:' field, a numeral keyboard on screen keyboard is forced to be used (even tho I have chose full QWERTY keyboard). Haven anyone noticed that? That is the weird part but if you look closely, there is a 'P' and a 'W' key as well. Why those keys and no other keys.
I used to be able to type in the name of the recipient, now I have to use the hardware keyboard to do so, (I would like to have the option to use a soft keyboard, although I love the hardware one).
Also, I have noticed that the Numeral Pad for typing messages have now gone. It used to be on the HD. I thought it was quite useful when if was on the HD and find it was a good way for t9 messaging with one hand.
Anyone noticed?
Anyone????
Anyone knows what the keys P and W is for when entering receipiant details? I don't mind it but I just wanted to know why P and W and not any other letters.
P: Pause (1sec Pause before sending the tones)
W: Wait (doesn't seem to work on WM - on nokia phones there was a new dialog coming up - and you could decide when you'd like to send the remainig numbers)
Sorry double post

Thanks a lot mate!
This is the first time I have seen this on a keypad. Never knew you need those keys.
But why would you need to pause before sending the tone?

sometimes u need this for using gateway services where it will ask for password/id before the phone number dialled (VOIP, teleconferance use etc)
you need the pause key; else the system will treat is as a very long number and ended up error

I just bought this phone and i would be wery sad if there where no option for t9/phonekeys/keypad (onscreen of course)
Thanks...

Inbound calls only ring once, dzo's latest froyo

As the title states I'm running dzo's latest with the 9-9-10 kernel. The issue is that when I get a call my phone rings once then just stays at the answer screen as though the phone should be ringing.
So has anyone had this issue with dzo's froyo, and if so what did you find to be the fix if u found one.

I am having the exact same issue, very annoying, no solution so far...
I'm unable to help factively, as I'm not running that build, but just to start troubleshooting... which kind of ringtone are you using?
Have you tried to use a different one (i.e: a song)
What's the result?
maybe this can help tracking the issue

It's a clean installation so no installed ring tones, only the once dzo included. I will try with some of the others to see if they all produce the same result.
Far from solving the issue, it may be a patch: having a song (obviously longer than a ringtone jingle) you'd hear it longer
Yes but if the filesize is too big then it will take a while to load the ringtone also which would mean you would miss the first dials and possibly altogether. This may be a dialer issue, I have noticed that android doesn't seems give the dialer a higher priority then the other active tasks for some reason. Does anyone know if we can set priority of activities in Android? If we can make the dialer the highest priority then your phone shouldn't have less issues.

Not only that, but a fix is what I'm after, not a workaround.
I've already posted a fix for this in dzo's original Fresh Froyo thread:

P.S. Have anyone noticed, that some ringtones (e.g. Digital Phone) ring only once? While still vibrating, and showing caller ID, the phone does not repeat the ringtone. I don't know, when it starts to happen, but it was in any ROM from July.

I had this problem as well, thought I'd share my finding and fix:
In OGG files I've found that there's an extra meta tag called ANDROID_LOOP which is set to 'true'. The Digital Phone ringtone doesn't have this tag, while others like the Classic Phone does (hence why the Classic ringtone repeats for incoming calls).
Here's what I did to fix this:
- Download and install Audacity (audacity.sourceforge.net)
- Open the ringtone file in Audacity, note you can use mp3/wav files as well, Audacity can convert them into OGG.
- Select Open Metadata Editor for the File Menu
- Add a new tag called ANDROID_LOOP and set the value to 'true'. (See screenshot here: g-sel.com/meta_editor.jpg (I can't post external links, so if a mod would like to edit this post and make them links, please feel free.))
- Click OK
- Select Export from the File Menu and select the Save As Type format as Ogg Vorbis Files.
- Click OK through File Save and Metadata dialogue window.
- Copy the new ringtone file onto your phone and enjoy
You can also copy the new file over the existing one as well:
- Open a terminal program (eg. Better Terminal from the marketplace) and run the following commands:
$su
#rwsystem
#cd /system/media/audio/ringtones
#cp <location of new ringtone> .
#chmod 644 <new ringtone filename>
#rosystem
#exit
- If you have added a new ringtone, ie. your own one not Android default, you will need to reboot the phone for the new ringtone to appear on the list.
Obviously change <location of new ringtone> and <new ringtone filename> to where you've saved the new file (eg. /sdcard/Ring_Digital_02.ogg and Ring_Digital_02.ogg).
PS. I don't think the CHMOD is really needed, but I like to keep things consistent so I do it anyway.

Indeed thanks to siwahem for a fix. And sorry ppelleg2003 if I came across short, I always appreciate input.
Forgot to mention that if you want to use your own sound for notifications then set the ANDROID_LOOP tag to false, otherwise the sound will keep looping non-stop. Only way to stop it, without killing the sound system, is to set the phone to silent mode, then back to normal profile.
Seems, this tag is ignored for alarm sounds though, non of the default alarm files have the tag, but I haven't tested it.
As for dialer priority issue, android actually uses a different process for phone calls. The dialer is part of the contacts app I believe.
Try Phone Prioritizer (it may be called Scheduled Scripting) app (here: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=558822). It runs periodically to set the main phone processes and launcher at higher priority. I've been using it and it works a charm, phone reacts, starts ringing and display the incoming call screen within the first ring.

silence mode turns my music player silent too

i run the wm6.5 3vo series on my excalibur and anytime i put my phone in silence mode, my media players' sound also goes off, i cant even listen to music with my headphone in silence mode. please any help?
You are one of the few that is actually using profiles and still want the music to play. The solution was long hidden and nobody seemed to care about this annoyance. I had uncovered the solution and described it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1407883
Please tell if it also helped you.
ok i created it nd i checked the box that says hex, buh its still not working... is there anything more i have to do? like some settings or anything? or should i uncheck the box?
I wrote:
So the simple solution is to create a DWORD named "SysVolIgnoreSilent" under the path "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Volume" and assign a value of "1" to it. Then you have your old behavior back!
Click to expand...

So make sure the value is stored as a DWORD (integer) not as a hex (string). This will not work.
Which tool did you use to create the value?
oh sorry, it works, i was using the player's volume control instead of the side bar... thanks very much
