Anyone using iGO 8

[vaxick]

I found another issue with iGo as well. Every time I start up iGo it changes the time on me to GMT London, Dublin. It also changes the time on the Windows clock as well.

I tried adding lines to the sys.txt file, but it has not solved it at all.

Edit: Solved it. The added lines Nav N Go has given for a fix work, but there is still a bug with the time I'm currently in which is Eastern. For some reason it keeps jumping a hour ahead in that setting. I changed it to the Indianapolis time zone and now it's display the correct time all the time. Ah well, I guess I shall be leaving my phone in the wrong time zone listing for the state I'm in for a couple months. I hope there isn't any glitches when I have to set it to Central later on.

Thanks bedoig,

For some strange reason, I can open your lex file with wordpad/notepad but I have a similiar lex file of same size and date modified and was unable to open it. Yours looks like it has already been decrypted. Will try some experimentation with pronunciations now.

Seemed to do fine on the high quality voices, but ram usage was at 97%.

The fix for the timezone is this....it worked for me!

Put this in the sys.txt

[timezone]
reset_os_timezone=0
sync_os_timezone=0

My time zone fix didn't solve it in the end and that that fix you posted which was released by Nav N Go as well does not solve it at all. It's really strange, if I set it to Indiana, it holds the time fine and lists it as my current actual time. When I reset my phone though, the Indiana time goes back to a hour below my actual time. Setting it to the Eastern Time Zone in iGo, quitting the program, and then starting it back up reverts the time to Dublin England.

If that fix is working for others maybe there is just something wrong with my copy of iGo?

I got mine working without applying any fixes. Here's what I did:

In iGo, under Regional Settings, Time Settings, Set Time Zone to Eastern US and uncheck both boxes above. Then exit iGo, and go to Settings, System, Clock and Alarms, and make sure your Home is set to Eastern. Lastly, go to phone, settings, services, time synchronization, and make sure the box is checked for auto sync, and click update now.

I think I had to do that twice with a reboot in the middle, but I have not had a problem since (coming up on a week of regular use).

Simply using the in-program options (no sys.txt editing) worked for me as well.

bedoig, the high quality voices work just fine on the Vogue with no memory errors. Before I start iGO8, I am at 38MB memory used and after starting iGO8 with hi quality TTS Susan voice, I am using a total of 56MB of memory with 48MB free.

BTW, thank you again for the EnglishUs6.9.lex file. I have been able to modify it further to solve some annoying pronunciation errors. For example, Susan would say "four hundred five" for the 405 freeway instead of 4, 0, 5. I was able to changed the lex file to change the pronunciation of most of the freeways numbered above 100.

"405" = "four oh five"

If anyone is annoyed that the street name is not spoken whenever it is associated with a number, one can modify the lex file to change the number to a more familiar name.
For example:

Lakewood Blvd (19) TTS would says ---> "19" but changing the lex file to:

"19" = "Lakewood Boulevard", TTS will now say Lakewood Boulevard rather than the highway number.

One needs to be careful though. In California, Hwy 1 is the Pacific Coast Highway and when I put the following in the lex file:

"1" = "Pacific Coast Highway", it would work fine when I was on PCH but if any term with "1" needed to be spoken, such as turn right in "1" mile, it would say turn right in "Pacific Coast Highway" mile. LOL.

One quirk I haven't figured out how to correct is when Susan says to turn "onto" some road, it sounds like either "on the" or "onta" - have you figured out how to correct that?
