voice command not announcing incoming calls

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

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

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.

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.

i suspect that it might have to do with the version that is built into the rom which i haven't found a way to uninstall completely. if anyone knows hows to get rid of sprint's voice command included with the tp, let me know...

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.
