MS Voice Command

Hi,
I have the BT HTC S620 on RickyWatts 6.1 ROM
I used to be able to use ms voice command which seemed to be built in..
but then it stopped working and now when i hold down home (voice command key) it beeps at me before saying "there is no trained voice tag"
anyone have this problem or know how to fix it?
Sorry if this has already been posted...search doesnt seem to be working...
Thanks,
Matt

when you installed 6.1 you didnt pick Microsoft VC. You picked cyberon Voice Command.
"Difference between these two kinds of voice command is that Cyberon voice uses voice-tags that you record, whereas ms voice command doesn't need you to record voice tags(but spoken language only support English"
look for VCSwitch.ccs in your phones \windows folder. Run it with Resco Explorer. That will enable Microsoft Voice Command.

....stupid thing wont work...
i got this screen when i first booted my device in this ROM
It doesnt let me scroll down to select MS Voice Command

Voice Announcements
I have a question about Voice command and annoumcements. Before I updated to to rickywatts 6.1 I use to get announcements for everything. New text message and whom it was from would be read to me, email headers and whom they were from. Even incoming calls would be announced. Well with the new 6.1, I only get the first one announced after a reboot and nothing after that. I have to reboot again if I want to hear another one. Any ideas on why this is happening. Not just with rickywatts version. I first had kavanas and the same thing would happen. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

did you check your setting on voice command?, what is your announcement routing? are announcements set to always or to free time only? etc.

My Voice Command settings
Yes....I think the setting are set correctly...forgot to mention those..sorry.
Voice enabled - yes
Voice button - record
Availability - Always available
Announcment Routing - bluetooth only
Announcements - Always
Call confirmations - yes
Announce Calls - yes
Announce Messaging - yes
Calendar Reminders - yes
Media Selections - yes
I believe that's all of them unless I'm missing something.

If you have announcement routing set to bluetooth only, you wont hear them unless you're wearing a bluetooth headset , and you'll hear it thru your head set. You should try bluetooth if available instead for the routing and see if that works.

I have tried the other routing choices just to see if it would make a difference, but it did not. I always have my bluetooth on at work. My hands are usually in the middle of a project when someone would call or my emails and text's arrive....so with the bluetooth on, I was able to hear who was calling or what the text or email was about without having to stop what I was doing and remove my phone from it's pouch to take a look. That was with T-Mobile's WM6.0. I don't want to return to that....I love 6.1 enough to learn to live without voice announce, but if someone knows what is conflicting with it...all the better. It might be that the whole bluetooth software(or whatever it may be called) isn't right at all. When a phone call comes in, I should only hear it ringing in my bluetooth....right? Well, sometimes, not all the time, I hear it coming from the phone too. Same with text and email alerts. When I have the bluetooth on, the alerts should only be heard through the bluetooth, but same problem. I don't know.....what's next? Anyone....?

Works without BT
Well...I tried the voice announce without the bluetooth and it works just fine everytime without fail....something new must be wrong with my bluetooth headset because this was not happening in WM6.0....don't know what to next.
thanks,

Nimbuzz vs Fring

Hi,
This is a new thing for me (yes, I am too late in this kind of VOIP service).
Which one is better for Android, judging for the client app?
If I read from the Nimbuzz at Cyrket, a lot of users complaint about the new version 1.4, Facebook got hacked, etc.
Fring also does not look satisfying.
So, if you are using this, which one do you recommend? and why?
For me, client reliability and network / connectivity are the most important.
Thanks for sharing !

Damn ...
I found that NimbuzzOut is not supported on Nimbuzz Android app
I want to use it to make international calls to land-line / mobile ...

calling to mobile and landlines works. just tried it. it took cash from my skype account
edit: i see. nimbuzz have their own system.

So, if I buy Skype credits ... then I can make call to mobile and landlines using Nimbuzz client, right? Because there is no native Skype client for Android ...
I prefer Nimbuzz own call system (NimbuzzOut), because it is much cheaper compare to Skype.

Yes if u have a skype account you buy skype credits and in nimbuzz justr login to your skype account .Voila.

Can you send SMS with either?

Nimbuzz says it sends it but it actually doesnt. havent tried with Fring.

..I read in the other thread about Nimbuzz that "it´s is always connected and it does not support push notification, so is draining alot battery.."
Well I used fring before, which was enough for my needs to have several account (skype,icq...), than I tried Nimbuzz and liked to have my Faceb. account, cool..BUT: the drain is real! Fring need much less battery!..but no FB

nimbuzz doesnt appear to have sip support in android client yet, big turn off for me, since im trying to consolidate messenger/communications apps.
sipdroid sounded like crap on my phone
fring seems pretty good, sip aim msn support and sip sounds really good quality, except its UI is ugly as balls, anyone know a way to skin it differently?
ive been using google voice with a gizmo5 number and setting up the sip account in fring and it connects pretty nicely for voip, its nice so far when i am home and have no cell reception and someone calls my cell(google voice number) and it sends the call to my sip client(fring)

I've tested both for making Skype-out calls. Both work fine. I'd prefer Nimbuzz because of the interface. But is it just me, or is there no dialer in Nimbuzz? This is the only reason I'm sticking with Fring at the moment...

I gotta say that I tried both and Nimbuzz was a clear winner for voice quality over wifi to Skype friends. Fring also has a slight delay in audio.
But I've kept Fring because of fring-a-ling (SIP calls) which work fine.

Does anybody know of any VOIP calling to international numbers for absolutely free for windows mobile. Cause im sick and tired of 200 dollar bills coming into my mail.
Thanks.

Absolutely free. I'm sure we would all want that.
Free calls to landlines don't exist. But what's wrong with Skype? The rates are ridiculously low.
http://www.skype.com/prices/callrates/

I've used fring. My landline is much cheaper. But if you add up all the minutes, It becomes expensive, especially to germany and UK. It's like 29 cents/min. Thats ALOT.

[Q] Google Voice?

Anyone able to get Google Voice working? I want to use the SMS app, but it gets stuck trying to read my nonexistant voicemail configuration. Anyone able to get that working? Would love to have it on my home screen.
Thanks.

Works fine for me using gAppsInstaller_v4

Just put this on your drive and click on it with the file explorer. When it asks for voicemail setup hit the skip button. You have a google voice number right?

gAppsInstaller_v4 works for me too, I wasn't able to make it get past the voicemail configuration before I Tried v4 a few days ago.

google voice hanging on voicemail setup
I had the same issue with it being stuck on the voicemail setup and never offering a skip option. I used a the 0.4.2.13 version I found on this site and it worked. After getting past that problem now I can't figure out why I can't make calls from the google voice app. Does the dialer try to use a real phone dialer to make calls or why does it start to dial and then disappear? Anyone got a good solution for making calls from your archos using google voice? Sorry didn't mean to hijack the thread. Why does the Voice app not appear in the market either?? Can't even use the QR Code or the link from google.com/voice to install it. Have to find apk and side load. Would be nice to see this app show up in market with the most up to date version from google

I don't think you can use Google voice over work but texting works fine. You could use sipdroid and GV to make calls.

I installed Google Voice from the above apk. After much trial and error, I have texting working perfectly except for one thing. When somebody sends a text to my Google Voice number, the text goes to my cell phone and notifies me by a ringtone. The message also goes to the Google Voice Inbox on my Archos 101 but there is no kind of notification. Is there someway I can get a ringtone notification on my Archos for an incoming text message?

I installed the silence widgets from my phone and noticed the archos boots often with some functions silenced.i get a notification when i get text on. Archos

Try checking settings. There probably is an option to choose your Notification ringtone.

Ok guys - I know that this works on my Evo, and I will install it on my 101 when it gets here. But I wanted to put this down to see how it works for you.
This is taken from:
VOIP for Android devices
1. If not already done, install Google Voice on your device using the link already on this thread above.
2. Install Sipdroid from the Market on your device. Alternatively here is a link to it - Sipdroid
3. When you run the Sipdroid app for the first time, you’ll see a touch button at the bottom of the screen. This will setup Sipdroid, a background service at a site pbxes.org (a free virtual PBX site), and activate the VOIP service. You be prompted to enter your Google Account User ID and Password. This info is used to create an account at pbxes.org. This service does background/transparent call management.
4. Sipdroid will auto activate when you turn on wifi and stays active until you disconnect from wifi. There will be a new icon (Round icon which should be green when connected) in the notification area of your device showing if you are connected to the VOIP service. Close out of Sipdroid - I haven't used it again after successfully signing in.
5. Install fring from the Market. You'll use this to initiate GV/SIP calls over wifi.
6. Setup your SIP account on fring - make sure your entire pbxes.org address is used as the login.
7. Make sure that it successfully logs in, and then press menu and open the dialer. Enter in a phone number to dial, and choose "SIP call". I entered in the phone number with area code but no "+1" or "1" in front.
That should be all you have to do. Let me know if it doesn't work and we can troubleshoot. I will be getting my 101 soon and then I will be able to test this.

The method above worked great but when calling its muting the speaker on my 101. Any suggestions?

no issues here, i text with it all the time, now if i could only make phone calls, for the ringtone you need to open settings in google voice, enter the app and hit the menu button and go to settings, make sure notifications are turned on.

I haven't tried the texting but I was able to make calls last night using the posted method. Once I dial I hear the ringing on the 101 speaker but the instant I pick up the line I am calling the Archos volume icon on the top right shows with the X (muted). This happens automatically. When I try to do volume control the volume description says "in-call volume" and is at the first level but I can't raise or lower it. As soon as I end the call the volume icon goes back to normal. If we can resolve this we can make calls over wifi using the method posted by jerdog.

It has got to have something to do with not having the Phone.apk or TelephonyProvider.apk. It seems that it doesn't know how to route audio input.... It works on my HTC Evo phone....
Does Archos have a tablet that has a cell radio in it that we could extract those apk's and try adding them in even though we know it wouldn't work as a phone?
And has anyone tried using a Bluetooth or a wired headset to see if audio works in that?

I tried the wired headset but no luck, the system turns the sound off. Not sure if there is a cell radio in the Archos. I will try to play around some more today but I am still learning about Android.
I will also give a bluetooth headset a shot

Yeah That happens .... the only way now to solve the Speaker problem is by pressing the power Button and then choose Silent Mode and it will activate it

There isn't a radio in the Gen8 as far as I can tell - but I am wondering if any of their other models have one?
It's most likely an instance where we'll have to hack the kernel to include audio input - if the hardware is even capable of it. Or to allow BT audio in

[Q] Skype as default dialer

Hi,
I have an evo with DeckRom on it (gingerbread). I'm trying to get skype to be my default dialer, or even better to have it prompt me for what I'd like to use as a dialer (phone or skype).
I can't for the life of me figure this out. Phone doesn't show up under settings-applications-manage-all. I've cleared defaults from gocontacts.
I've tried uninstalling skype, then rebooting the phone and redownloading the app.
Still nothing.
Other thing I might like is the ability to choose google voice to make outgoing calls if that is available.
Thanks in advance.

Bump for this. I'm having the exact same issue on my thunderbolt running stock/rooted debloat. Any help would be great as I'm retiring the thunderbolt and basically turning it intoca glorified pda/voip phone.

Google voice can be set as a default dialer/SMS/voicemail app but Skype I don't believe will set as a default however on decks gb rom in settings under calls you can set up a SIP account for voip calling with no added apps it will use the default dialer to call over ip

When I first installed skype, android gave me the option to choose how to complete the call. I no longer receive that option.

My goal is to either:
1. have the option of using skype, google voice or T mobile when initiating a call from my contacts list
or
2. be able to access and successfully choose a contact from my list when I'm on skype
At some point (I don't know why) my phone stopped giving the choice of using Skype, google voice or TMobile for an outgoing call. I would love to get that back since Skype doesn't allow me to use my phone contact list to make calls. Any ideas on how to achieve my goal?
Please tell me how to have a notification on my email when someone responds to my question.
Thanks

Yes...i get the same.
Selecting contact works but as soon as i want to make a video call it states....Unfortunately, Skype has stopped.
Then i went to Setting / Apps / Skype and gave it all permissions and problem went away.

I tried changing permissions but it is still the same. I haven't tried video calling but its definitely crashing when I am calling

FWIW, no troubles doing Skype video calls for me.
