So until yesterday, I've been rocking the 7220.68 RTM, but without the updated HTC firmware etc.
The text to speech voice has been becoming a familiar harsh British woman's voice, almost reminiscent of the nagging women we have here.
Anyhoo, I installed the HTC Europe leaked rom, and all of a sudden I have an American lady reading my text messages.
I've checked my region settings and can confirm they are all UK, I guess final release is all American?

Looks like voice guidance is back in this build too

Hi guys,
I'm using SVOX Classic for TextToSpeech. When I use the navigation in Google Maps everything works fine. But after aber 3-4 minutes of navigation the damn voice starts to read some weblinks. And it starts to spell every single letter, point, backslash...everything. Does anyone have the same problem?
I have the same issue.
It reads the xml file that comes from google for the voice guidance...
ok, at least now I know what's the problem. Any suggestions how to deactivate?
You'll have to wait for Nuance to fix this bug. I send in a bug report to "[email protected]" a few days ago, haven't heard back since.
Yall are doing better than me! When I try to use Gnav, and some other apps, with SVOX I get the "you must have tts installed" error message then the app closes. But some other apps work fine with it.?

Thank you gokpog for that email address. I sent mine!
Same problem
I have purchased grace and also it does not work. When I start some applications using SVOX, it ask me to install the language files, which is already installed....
It sucks

Ahhh, Grace With a little pitch editing she sounds smoking hot, sometimes I enter sexual phrases in the box for her to read.
Did I say that out-loud? LOL
serious side, I get the same issue...
they havent released an update for a while now. either they are clueless and cant include ics support or they dont seem to care since they have my money. the version currently on the market does not work with android 4.x
Still no reply from the devs. I guess its time to down rank and move on. Anybody know of a good alternative that works with ICS?
I still have to test the TTS engine with maps navigation, but IVONA seems like a good alternative (and its free while still in beta):
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.ivona.tts&feature=search_result
All languages: https://market.android.com/developer?pub=IVONA+Software
I'll update this post once I tested it with maps navigation.
Edit: works and the voice is so much better than the stock one, great alternative!
Can Someone please provide a link to the T mobile Visual Voicemail apk to install, The one in the market has Ads. I am looking for the previous version to the November 7th Release. The one without the ads.
Thanks

I strongly disagree.
What if you don't want google converting your voicemails to text and analyzing your messages (along with keeping track of what you search for, who you call, who (and what) you email, where you go, and what you buy)???
I'm sorry, but an app that lets you simply push a button and play a message without having to listen to audio prompts and remember was that 7 or 9 to save... This Visual Voicemail is simple and efficient and a thousand times less stressful than trying to use Page Plus Cellular voicemail where they seem to randomly choose whether you have to listen to old messages before you can hear the new ones (so frustrating).
Until there is a law passed making me the sole owner of data about ME which lets ME decide how and when companies can use data about me, I don't want to provide more than nesc. to companies like google.

I spent five minutes looking through the search resuts after clicking your link and did NOT find the .apk for the most recent version before that update. Now I have to see, if there is some way I can undo the "thanks" I pressed for you when I stupidly clicked thanks before checking the link you posted since I assumed you were being helpful and linking to the THREAD. Ugh, can't undo thanks.
I don't know really know where to start to respond to this, so here it goes
1) If you do not want Google to convert your voicemails to text, disable that.
If you want to disable voicemail transcriptions, follow these steps:
1.Click the gear icon at the top-right of any Google Voice page and click Voice settings.
2.Deselect the 'Transcribe Voicemails' option in the Voicemail tab.
3.Click Save Changes.
2) I'm sorry, but an app that lets you simply push a button and play a message without having to listen to audio prompts and remember was that 7 or 9 to save...
Google voice does this very well.
3) Until there is a law passed making me the sole owner of data about ME which lets ME decide how and when companies can use data about me.
Why in the world would we need a law for this!?!?! Just don't give your information out on the internet, it IS yours, you can decide who gets it.

If you get injured, go unconscious, etc. and someone wants to find out who they should call after 911 to let your family know:
If your phone is locked, you might think you're out of luck because they can't see your contacts! But, you're not. Simply add a contact (friend, family, anybody you can trust) or use one you already know and just add them to the ICE contact group (built-in).
Then, if someone needs to contact them, they'll simply tap "Emergency Call" and press the button on the bottom left of the number pad, which opens up a list of your ICE contacts!
Confirmed this feature in TouchWiz. AOSP, too, maybe?

Wow I had no idea that could be done.
I've just set up my phone with my ICE Contacts.
Thank you very much!!!:thumbup::thumbup:

This is on my phone with T/W Rom.

Just tried that on CM11-S and it doesn't do anything... So I guess it's not an AOSP supported feature, nor CM. It's definitely a cool feature though, I'd love to see it implemented by default on Android or at least CM.

Hello, everyone! I am brand new to Android development, and this is my first app. The idea is simple: scan a book's barcode (using an intent to the Barcode Scanner app), generate an MLA citation, export by whatever means you wish. I intent to add more features in the future. For now, I need my solid base functionality tested.
I'm bumping this because I really need testers.

I've tried it out, although I scanned only a couple of books.
After scanning screen goes black, when I presume the app looks for the title book, but I surely should present a spinning wheel or something. The first time, screen remained black, I had to press the back button to get to the app and have the pop-up.
Besides, when scanning another book, it simply crashed (for reference, it was Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secret, UK, adult version)
Anyway, the title recognition works fine
P.S: I think Android design guidelines recommend removing the dialog titlebar in this case
I'll give it a shot here soon. any specific tasks you want checked out?

Any chance you could mirror the apk on Dropbox or something? I can't get the download from Baidu to compete, even after leaving it running all night on my last try.
