[twbrooks]

Good morning to all my ppcgeeks, i just got my touch pro 2 this week. i had the pro and just put the new rom update they had for on htc and that rom update enabled the voice command to announce calls coming through. but witht eh touch pro 2 i found out it doesn't announce the call either thru the blue tooth or the phone, can someone help me with this issue or advise if they have the same issue. Much thanks always appreciated.

Widcomm stack issue. Won't be fixed until someone cooks the MS stack into a ROM

so with teh new rom that came out for the pro that fixed its issues but since the pro 2 is new its basically having the same issues that the pro had when it first came out?

There is a reg fix here someplace to allow it to announce the calls through the phone speaker (it involves change the value of a key to "ring"). If you search this forum for voice announce you should find it. After doing that my TP2 (Sprint) does announce the incoming calls over the phone speaker.

As far as I've seen though there is no way yet due to the BT stack used to get it to announce over BT. I believe that is supposed to be fixed when WM 6.5 is released.

I found the reg fix that worked for me.

Change:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\TTSAnnounce\Category
from VoiceCommand1 to Ring

That at least lets it announce incoming calls (make sure the option is turned on in the Voice Command options) over the phone's speaker.

not sure how to do what you just advised on changing thre info. is there a way you can break it down for me just a lil more easier, i do applogize but if you can thanks.

You need to use a registry editing program and edit the date of that registry key. If you are not familiar with doing this, you might want to skip it -- or better yet, do a Google search for information on how to edit the registry of a WM device -- I know it is out there some place as I've seen it, but don't remember where.

Huge thank you! That has been an issue for me.

You're welcome, but it isn't my fix -- it was posted here some place else and I've just passed it on.

This is such a drag for me because it is one of the features that I really liked from my previous phone (Diamond). I did the regedit, changing it to "ring", now VC works, but once it starts announcing the caller it mutes my ringtone. Please help, I need this to work for me. I already soft reseted. Any advice?
