The following registry changes might partially restore the call announcement, a short-term solution until something better comes along:

HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\TTSAnnounce\Category: change VoiceCommand1 to Ring
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\TTSAnnounce\Script: change as5p to v0p (for vibrate and ring) or p (for ring only)

With this change, the ringtone will start - and then be interrupted with the calller ID/name announcement. (Assuming that call announcement has been enabled in Voice Command).

Only major flaw with this solution is that the announcement volume is low.

this does work as a temp fix. announce volume not too bad

Re: voice command not announcing incoming calls

i posted in another thread that htc america has acknowledged this as an internal issue and will release it in a future maintenance release. so they know full well about it. i spoke with an htc engineer directly about this. rprpchnow was a big help. i sent them his troubleshooting reg entries and that helped...

Yep... announcements works all the time but in my case it will randomly play thru the headset or the speaker, and the same for the ring tone sometimes plays and sometimes doesn't.

Now I know who's calling without pulling the phone out :headbang:

Please check in the Voice Command settings that you have Voice Command enabled to announce incoming calls - and you should probably also have VC notifications set to announce using Bluetooth handsfree if available.

Re: voice command not announcing incoming calls

Let it be known that I tried every major version all the way back to 1.6.17913. No dice.

I used eRice with no MSVC, and installed the major retail and embedded versions. I also tried the newest 1.6.19972 from JD's ROM... Still nothing.

Re: voice command not announcing incoming calls

just found some info:
The Bluetooth functionality does not currently work properly on the Samsung Blackjack Windows Mobile 5.0 HTC Touch Pros prior to AKU3. Incoming caller ID announcements will be spoken via the phone speaker on HTC Touch Pros with a Windows Mobile build prior to 15097.3.0.0.

I, for one, am GLAD it doesn't announce incoming calls. I can do with less distractions.

Re: voice command not announcing incoming calls

Tonight as I was playing some music using my Jabra BT3030 headphones, voice cmd. actually announced the sender and subject line of a new email I received with perfect clarity. Not very useful perhaps, but kind of creepy-cool. :)

I followed up with my friendly HTC Rep. and they said as usual a fix is in the mix, however they are being swarned with calls regarding this issue which is pushing this fix one step closer to putting smiles on our face!

I don't have a TP but what you guys might look at is trying the audiopara.csv off a diamond.

Re: voice command not announcing incoming calls

MSVC have always had problems...On my mogul...VC only announces texts/picturemail and some email...sometimes. No rhyme or reason...so wait I will for it to work properly on my TP now.

Re: voice command not announcing incoming calls

MSVC is working perfectly in my TP after making the regedits listed earlier in this thread.

It even announces incoming calls through my S9 BT headset.

I am using the vz leaked ROM so that may have something to do with it (I am using a Sprint TP on vz service)

Re: voice command not announcing incoming calls

Heres and update via Email I got from HTC yesterday, thought I would share:

Hello Mike,

Thank you for your inquiry about the Voice Command feature on your Touch Pro.

I understand how important it is that voice command announce incoming calls. I have been seeing this issue with other customers using the Sprint Touch Pro. Currently, we are looking into a resolution for this issue. Any software fix for this issue will be hosted on our support page.

I can add your device to our ongoing investigation if you would like. In order for me to do that, I will need your device's serial number and ESN (beginning with "A").

Mike, I hope we have answered your question in detail. Feel free to contact us again if you have any further questions.

I have verizon service (I dumped sprint because their service sucked). I bought the sprint version of the touch pro however (because sprint definitely has the coolest phones) & then activated it as a verizon phone.

Re: voice command not announcing incoming calls

When I first got my TP, these regedits worked great. I like the announce the incoming call feature & always had it working in my old Titan.

I messed up the TP & did a hard reset & now I can't get the feature to work again........

Re: voice command not announcing incoming calls

I'm always a little sketchy on making changes to the registry. First off, how do I access the registry on my Touch Pro? Second, once I access the registry, will these files overwrite existing files, or do i manually type in the new ones. Appriciate all your guys help and support.

Re: voice command not announcing incoming calls

tried this tweak to increase call announce volume but sadly it does not work

increase the volume , navigate to
HKCU\Control Pannel\SoundCategories\VoiceCommand1 Then change the value of AttenuationCategory from 4 to 1
Sound of the voice command will be even higher than the ringing tone.
You can also change the value of InitVol to 40

Re: voice command not announcing incoming calls

This is sort of off topic.
I wanted to know if it was possible to make voice command read off emails, texts or notes?
I know it reads them off when they're first come in, but I wanted to know if I could select an old text and make it read it.

Any news to a fix to this problem - Or has everyone just edited their registry? One other question i Would imagine i need to download a registry editing program if i were to perform the fix and suggestions?

Re: voice command not announcing incoming calls

I noticed something, if I answer the phone on 1 ring (actually just before the 1st ring ends) i get the announcement. How ever, the announcement continues after the call is picked up. So it appears that there is a conflict with VC and the ringer (hence the reg edit working sometimes).

Re: voice command not announcing incoming calls

Hmm I tired the registry hack but it seems like it doesnt work for me. Im using my bt headset and all I hear at first is static then the ring tone plays for about two seconds then static again.

Re: voice command not announcing incoming calls

Thought I would chime in here.

Im using the Telus TP and I am also having the same issue. I havent tried the reg edits but I dont really use bluetooth so I might wait. I will speak to my HTC rep shortly and see if there is any news for the Telus crowd regarding a fix.

Re: voice command not announcing incoming calls

JD has it working on his 3.0 rom......only problem I am having is getting it work via the BT....you can initiate it and it will go to the screen but does not launch the call or speak back to you like normal....I lost my Jawbone 2](*,)....using my H700 that did work before also...if others can test on another BT let me know the results...I have been trying different regedits to get it to work....it does work via the handset and it does announce incoming calls through the BT also....

EDIT: Forget it it is fully functional.....JD reported his is working fine....time for me to get a new Jawbone I always hated this H700.....

Re: voice command not announcing incoming calls

so is there a fix then? what did JD do to fix it? is the fix in most custom roms now?

All times are GMT -4. The time now is 11:58 PM.
