Voice Command 1.6 Initiation Chime

[ccrrar]

I have an odd situation on my Verizon xv-6900 (HTC Vogue) with the initiation chime. I am using the new stock VZW ROM for WinMo 6.1. I have the following programs installed:

SPB Mobile Shell
SPB Phone Suite
Sprite Back Up
Sprite Terminator
CodyPPC Personalizer
Chapura Pocket Mirror

I installed VC via Bengilah's 1.6.19209 Cab.

OK, now the problem: This is all on speaker, no BT headset activity yet.

When I push the mapped button (in my case the camera button on the lower right side) for the fist time when I am in the standard HTC home screen I get the chime. If I attempt to initiate VC again for another call I do not get the chime. If I put the phone to sleep, a short press of the power button on the top and then wake it up again with another short press (both standard operating procedure) I get the chime again for one VC event but no subsequent sessions until I put the phone to sleep and then wake it up again. This is consistent and repeatable.

Also, the chime never works when I am in SPB Mobile Shell, even if it is the first VC session after waking the phone up.

This was same problem I had when I installed the retail version 1.6.4622 purchased last week.

Suggestions?

I swear by 19209. I am a power VC user for sure. So much so that when it took two months to get my hands on a replacement LCD I was still able to use the unit as a phone. Try this, Sattings> Voice Command >uncheck "enable". Click OK and the timer icon will show VC shutting down. Wait a few moments and re-enable in reverse of above. Timer icon will go showing the program is being loaded. See if that helps things out. I actually have to do it every time I soft reset. It seems like the program is loading before some essential service is up and running fully.

I should add that sometimes I have to do this twice but then yer good to go until next soft reset which should very seldom if you have a good ROM.

there is a newer build out: 19972

I have now discovered that I can get the chime working by pressing the button a second time before the first session times out.

Strangeness continues.....

That's really weird. Mine is the exact opposite. I never get the chime the first time but it always chimes after that.

voice command doesn't even work for me. I doesn't recognize anthing that I say even if I scream.
