WM6 with Voice Command Incoming Call Announcement

[CMeys]

Is it correct in the few posts that have mentioned it that in WM6 with MS Voice Command 1.6 that the incoming announcement of the caller id does not work? Is that the case both from the phone and over BT?

This issue is critical in my decision as to whether to go with this upgrade (which I would like to try) as I cannot be without the caller id announcement of BT.

If anyone can elaborate on this I'd appreciate it.

Thanks.

I have yet to get the announce to work at all on my xv6700 running WM6/VC1.6

the only thing it changed for me was instead of the default annoying ring my BT earpiece has, it now plays my phones assigned ringtones that I setup.

That's what I was afraid to hear. I'd really like to go to WM6, but can't give up the caller ID annoucnement. Mine always played (WM5) the phone's ringtones -- in fact, I set it to a silent ringtone so I could hear the caller ID announcment.

I hope someone finds a way to get this working in WM6.

Works fine for me. It announces over the phone, or bluetooth if turned on.

this may sound like a dumb question but are you sure you activated the call announcements is the vc settings

I had it working fine on WM5, but i am bummed as i cannot figure out how to get it to work on WM6.

Help? i have thoroughly checked the VCM MS settings.

Any other feedback?

Although I haven't tried the WM6 Rom (waiting for the kitchen), I am using VC1.6 on my Titan and I can confirm there is no announcement there either.

This appears to be a problem with VC when running WM6 in general and is not specific to the Apache.

Ok so i found a file in the WM6 Apache fixes/patches thread which is working for me on my WM6 Apache.

Does this work for anyone else?

If so then we may have found our "band-aid"
