voice command not announcing incoming calls

[wildpig]

there got to be a way to get this worked somehow... this might really be how we can get voice command to work

I'm having the same problem. I've tried tweaking every setting in the voice command options without any luck. I'd really like this to work. Currently my only choice is to answer the call blindly or take out my phone and look at it to see who's calling. Not exactly optimal use of a headset...

I'm having the exactly same issue... I emailed HTC.com today about it.

I hope their customer support will be better than Palm.

The problem with the call announcement on the TP doesn't appear to be with Voice Command, but possibly with the phone software on the TP - since Voice Command is generating the announcement file - it's just not being played.

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.

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

i tried the fix and my phone does announce now but it is announcing the same phone number over and over it doesnt matter who is calling

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...
