Can't say I've seen a problem with that, but you might want to give some more info for people to look at. Like, what ROM you are running and any apps you have installed, especially before the problem started.
youve got HD tweak installed havent you. and youve turned on the option for T9 in HD tweaks options...it just messes the keyboards up completely,i had the same problem. turn the T9 tweak off and it should be fixed.
Has anybody actually got this working exactly as it should?
I am not getting any speech regarding calls from known people already in Contacts.....etc.
Any suggestions?
I use it and it works great.

OK.....what should MSVC Notification Options be set to?
Cheers
i think the software u hav isnt complete because when u install it correctly and reboot when receiving a call or text it should say who is textin or callin u, but msvc works without any problems, if u hav the full verison goto start-settings-voice command-contacts and then hit options button to see if active
More importantly, can we change the voice to something more human?
I think this is a cracking piece of software, although it would be nice if it could also read out your RSS feeds (when asked to do so) and it would be amazing if you could dictate txt messages.
The only down side to using it with the Touch HD is that you have to map the call button to long press, to make it listen. Not the end of the world, but not as good as just being able to click once. For some reason it wont let me map the "back" button, which would be better, since I never use it.
Also while you are able to start applications via voice command ("start camera" being one of the most useful). There doesnt seem to be a way to close the apps in the same way.

I agree that it is a cracking piece of software.
Maybe with AEButton you can map the back button to the 'voicecmd.exe'
I tried the trial from two different sites and whenever i install it on the HD i got a "unrecoverable error" when installation finishes.
First time i was unable to even access settings to remove it so i had to resort to ActiveSync to get rid of it.
Another try from a different source gave me the same error but this time round i was able to access settings to remove it.
I'm afraid of even trying anymore.

Ummm - I do have the complete MS Voice Command and based on another post now realise that each sub-function in the menu has its own options.
I had assumed the Option button was just a general overall one. The "User Guide" is a tad basic really....
So all sorted now and thanks to all with advice....much appreciated.
Now then....how can we change this to either a smooth female voice or Basil Fawlty....???
Cheers

not tried that yet, but i'll give it a go.
Using the xperia panels I have been able to map a software button, but obviously the current panels port, isnt 100% as you frequently need to exit in order to do certain things.
OK....I have just realised that although the voice actually works....the phone vibrates but doesn't use the set 'incoming call ring tone'....I would have expected "Ringtone and Vibration" (as it is set) and then voice breaks in with callers name, etc.
What am I missing?
Can someone either attach screenshots of Options and Notification settings or list their Options settings for Contacts and Phone please?
Much appreciated.....
Anyone experience random crashing of their HD? Mine start doing it after I installed this app, this morning my HD did not woke me up so I checked my phone and it was completely dead, power button won't work so I had to resort to the softreset button. This has happened again twice today and I just don't understand where its coming from, as the phone wasn't doing anything in particular at the time(obviously as I was sleeping when it first happened). Only thing I can think of is that its conflicting with AEButton plus, which I used to map the VC to the volume button.
What is the different between this and Cyberon Voice Commander which comes bundled with my THD?
Hi,
I am using Dutty Extreme 2.1, everything seems to work apart from it not reading my e-mails or SMS messages out??
Is it suppose to do this and how can I get it working?
Thanks
All,
Upgraded my unbranded UK TP2 to WM6.5 yesterday and just re-installed all the apps; here's some initial impressions.
It IS worth doing the hard reset to do the upgrade. First off, you're going to have a nice clean install which is always a good thing; secondly WM6.5 itself is more evolution than revolution; small graphical tweaks, things are 'easier' to stab at with your fingers (the screen seems more forgiving), and text/menu options/e-mails etc are spaced out more to make using the device easier on the run.
Some changes/good things/quirks in WM6.5:
Owner information option is gone from the "settings" menu. Simply activate on the Today Screen, click where it says "Touch here to enter owner information" and you're in the same place. Don't bother messing with a nice clean install with that .cab file doing the rounds on here when you just don't have to.
The honeycomb menu is a personal choice, but it's flexible and clean looking enough to make it easy to navigate around. I've gone from using SPB Menu 2 (as version 3 just did NOT integrate with TF3D and the phone contacts (soft key) option) back to just using the standard WM6.5 menu and Today Screen.
WM6.5 introduces new options to reject calls with a text message - most useful.
WM6.5 introduces a new option to automatically activate the pen notes application when the stylus is removed from the holster during a call. The main reason to remove the stylus is to scribble a phone number down, so this option is again, most welcome.
VOICE DIALLING OVER BLUETOOTH WORKS AGAIN! The feature I missed the most on my TP2 works again. I installed MS Voice Dialler 1.6UK version and with my Jawbone BT headset I'm back to normal operation.
Re-organising the main honeycomb menu is a little painful; rather than a nice "hold and drag" method, you can only "Move To Top" or "Move Down". Putting things into folders and using File Explorer is the order of the day.
The new 'slide to unlock' screen lock is a real boon for not messing up your phone while it's in your holster and avoids installing battery killing 3rd party apps.
FM Radio application is installed as a default. Again, no need for 3rd party hacks or apps.
WiFi reception and throughput speed appears to have been boosted. I certainly get a better reception in my home, in the same locations I used to get slow/juttery video streaming in.
Battery increments - not seen it in 1% as yet, anyone else confirm if it's 1 or 10% increments?
No major application incompatibility problems that I can see as yet.
Run the Rhodium Advanced Config app over the device to ensure fast GPS, A-GPS and the like is tweaked to your convenience and you'll find you can get pretty much everything you want done with a standard configuration, with your normal apps installed on it, rather than hacking and tweaking. As a result the system takes a much smaller memory footprint and everything seems to hang together more smoothly and without slowing the system down.
Hope this helps clear some things up for your normal/power users looking to update their devices. All-in-all I'm really happy with the WM6.5 update. It almost feels like the TP2 was made in the first place for WM6.5 and its just come to life with it, almost as if WM6.1 was a (temporary) necessary retrograde step that HTC didn't want to do...
Thanks and be good to see other people's feedback on the update.
Adam.
Thx for the update.
Very glad to hear that voice dialing over BT is working again and that there is a slide to lock and FM Radio (without having to install battery killing 3th party apps).
Looks very promising.
Hope I can install this soon and add some comments. Dutch version however not yet available.
The quick drop down menu from the start button is gone in 6.5/ Is there a decent cab to get it back? I've tried some previously that did not work. One thing I would miss with 6.5. Yeah, I know a petty thing to some, important to me.
I dislike BT so that feature means nothing, don't care for titanium or tf3d, so ms 3.5 is my prefered ui. My tp2 is one of the most finger friendly phones I've had yet even while running 6.1 . I know it always seems to make sense to upgrade to the latest and greatest, but the latest isn't neccessarily the greatest.
Having tried several diff cooked 6.5's on my old tp I may sit this one out for awhile. If you've neve tried 6.5 then by all means one should give it a try. Judge for yourself.

Does the fact that Voice Dialling now works over BT mean that htc have upgraded the BT stack, ie hopefully gone back to the MS one?

Maybe I'm missing something. It seems that the slide to unlock doesn't lock the hardware buttons. If the phone is in a case or a pocket and a call comes in, it's possible to accidentally press the hardware accept or hang up button. That's a problem that only seems solvable using 3rd party apps.
I'm very satisfied with this 6.5 rom release. It includes basically everything I wanted. The only thing is the Manila 6.5 with the animated today menu that changes as the weather from your localization changes.
even though this official release of winMo 6.5 looks great (installed the french one on an unbranded tp2) :
-i think the colored tf3d look is giving the rhodium a less serious image (too much green in it
-in general, the OS seem to be quite heavy for the device
-there's an obvious problem with the tf3d today clock (which is always giving me exactly 1hour & 2minutes earlier for 2seconds everytime i press the "no" button)
-also i noticed that the wi-fi antenna doesn't automatically reconnect to the selected network after i put the phone out of sleep mode, while the wi-fi antenna stays active on the phone!!?
and seriously guys, i still don't get why they didn't provide tp2 users with manila 2.5, it makes absolutelly no "SENSE"
thank you so much.
could you tell us if tom tom run ok and if you can use it in landscape mode?
s2u2 is compatible?
sorry of my english.
thank you

agreed, it's a bit annoying, it also deactiveates the wi-fi when you soft reset the device... I'm sure there will be a tweak for it soon!

I noticed the thing about the clock temporarily showing the time an hour and 2 minutes earlier for about 2 seconds. Can the OP please explain how I can get the owner info screen to enter my details. I cant find anywhere on the today screen where it says 'tap to enter information'

This is a feature of the manila/sense itself to give the effect of the old clocks with the flipping numbers.

never had this with the stock rom, plus it's more than annoying when it happens after using the task manager or locking the device with the "no/end call" button... so it often happens to me and when it does, it's three times in two seconds so thanks to htc guys for making it worst

I think it actually has something to do with the my location thing, but since I can't get that to work properly most of it is just an annoyance. Lol
E-mail to HTC (bug that I found in Manila 2.1 in the WM 6.1 that still maintains in WM 6.5):
Good Morning
I've been using the Windows Mobile 6.1 for a while and found a bug that I was expecting to be solved in the 6.5 release but unfortunately no.
When I choose in the weather tab the City of Lisbon, Portugal and update the forecast it corrects me the system time to GMT CASABLANCA instead of using the correct GMT LONDON, DUBLIN.
The Portuguese Time includes changes to the Winter Time and Summer Time, like in UK. To correct that I need to use always as my default city London, not taking use of the function from the new Manila: "My Location".
Can that be corrected in a next release?
Best Regards
Márcio Teixeira

Quick and easy - don't bother downloading and installing cabs, this is easier!
Go to Settings -> Today and make sure that in the "Items" tab, the option for "Owner Info" is ticked.
Now go to your today screen. There will be the owner information line - and if you've entered nothing, it'll say "Tap to enter info..." just tap there and enter the info in the control panel that appears.
If you then don't want Owner Info on your today screen (but just wanted to enter a username for app registration etc), then go back into Settings -> Today and untick the Owner Info option.
Thx,
Adam.
hey guys i have a few questions and things i need help with
first, what i'm running
at&t tilt 2 (you know...a touch pro 2)
htc official rom with sense 2.5 ( the new one...i think the newest, havent checked in a while)
and i have a few problems with my phone
1. i want to change the settings icon on the start menu to NOT go to the sense settings...if i wanted that HTC i would go to the damn settings tab on the home screen...since thats all the shortcut does anyway...sorry to you guys, it just seems stupid that they changed it.
but yeah i want it to go the the original settings
2. ive done some things to my phone that have...well...f***ed it up
firstly, installing the energy 23*** march 9 2010 series rom...no offense to nrg, but it totally ****ed my phone, because the problems dont go away with a new rom and hard resetting, for one, i cant use speakerphone...it just mutes me, and other problems, like, if i have headpones in and someone calls, if i answer, then i am muted to the other person, then i have to call them back, and if i try to take out the headphones because they cant hear me...it is still muted anyway...and it used to work right before the energy rom, same with every problem i have (except the settings thing) and also when i have headpones in, sometimes it only ring out of the headpones, so if i dont have them on at the time, and they are still plugged in, i wont hear it ring
also, sometimes during the night my phone will freeze while it sits there, and because i use it as an alarm....really frusturating when it doesnt go off, again, since i installed the rom, but happening more often since i put android on here (the recent build freezes all the time anyway, not worth it...yet)
an example would be this morning when i need to get up for college and it doesnt go off...
umm...what else...oh yea...it always happens...either the startbar freezes and kinda goes away...or sense does and this is very annoying since i have to soft reset all the time, and especially since it wont even let me turn sense off because the settings wont work because sense isnt working and cleanram doesnt work for that either
sorry if im coming off as angry im just...well...angry, but its just so frusturating with all these problems just from a rom
now a question...
will these problems go away if i install stock rom and hard reset? because i have official rom and hard reset and it didnt change anything
i love this new rom, its great, but it has the problems from the energy rom still, and its not the rom, its just registry entries or something that a hard reset wont fix...but i dont see why a new rom wont fix it, but anyway, sorry for all the writing, but im bored waiting for my class to start
sorry if you think im rude also, i love htc, i love the team that is working on android for rhodium, i love nrg's roms, i love xda, and i love all you guys, the community
thank you
run Task29. Look for it in the rom development section. This will clean you're phone memory and that will resolve most of you're problems. Then install the rom of you're choice.
thanx, and do you know of anything that will change the settings shortcut back to the original?
You man that shortcut that takes you to Sense settings instead of the Windows Mobile one?
exactly, with the only way of going into the windows mobile settings by going through the sense settings, so if sense is frozen or just not working, no way to go into settings...dumb

In the registry go to [HKLM\Security\Shell\Startinfo]
and change the value for "HideSettings" from 1 to 0.
Then remove the link to HTC Settings for "Windows\Start Menu\Programs".
After a soft reset, you'll have a default settings link.
thanx, hopefully this fixes it (it looks like exactly what im looking for)
My TP2 kept vibrating after a missed call despite there being no tick in the sounds and notifications option for it. I successfully stopped it in fixing the option off in the registry, however now I have no number indicating the number of missed calls in the blue icon in sense 2.5.
I have put the part of the registry back as it was however the number is still not showing after any missed calls and I cannot find anything in the registry that looks obvious to fix this?
Please help!
Thanks
Have you tried a simple soft reset?
Not hard reset - that wipes all the data on the device. Soft reset, just pull the battery cover and hit the little red 'reset' pin.
If that doesn't work, you might have to get more drastic.
I've reset the phone a number of times but this hasn't worked. I even have a touch pro 1 and have been comparing parts of the registry but I haven't managed to find anything.
I don't understand how changing the windows notification settings can break sense, especially after putting the registry value back as it was.
Really don't want to hard reset as it always takes me many many hours to reconfigure everything exactly as I like even with importing some settings.
Anyone??
Still haven't sorted this i know it's just going to be some hidden registry key...
bump for help
Don't use Sense? lol
Honestly tho, it sounds like it's time to pillage. Good luck.
Not yet, it can't be that difficult I know someone who's cooked sense roms probably knows key registry key.
bumping again
bump I though I could manage without this feature but I didn't pay attention to the light and some missed calls went unnoticed

Maybe change the thread title so it actually makes sense? Most people won't respond to posts that have a thread title that mentions nothing of the issue, and only begs for help...
But honestly you've waited for weeks now and you could've just hard reset and rebuilt all your little tweaks. Assuming you backed stuff up properly, you shouldn't have to restore much at all
I can't see an option to do that in thread tools but please change it as you feel necessary; I wasn't expecting it to be such a difficult fix. There are so many tweaks in Wm 6.5 that can't simply be backed up, settings within sub menus within sub menus that take a while just to find, as well as settings such as those in Advanced Config although I have just noticed the xml export feature there.

Yes, there's a way to backup pretty much everything. Then of course you run the risk of restoring the thing that broke it, lol.
Either way, on the first post edit it, then click 'go advanced'. This should let you edit the title...
