i910 Verizon Voice Command Not Working

[PSLGuy]

Hi,
I have the i910 from Verizon. I have the Voice Command set to notify me over the speakerphone when text messages come in, when calendar alerts are set to go off. I have every notification set. It never announces anything. I simply get the regular sound tone when i get an new email or text. This is is my 2nd i910, the first ate up my battery, but I swear that one did all the announcing. Is their anyone out there that can confirm that their phone speaks to them when their notifications are set. Again I have mine set to alert through the speakerphone not any Bluetooth device, but I do have bluetooth devices on the phone(but the are not on, and neither is bluetooth enabled). I have Voice Command Ver. 1.6.2076.

If anyone can tell me if I am crazy, and if I am not crazy how to fix this thing so it will start talking to me. It does announce incoming calls, whether they are listed in my contacts or not.

Thank you,
