yes, so what ..?

What's it not doing? Not announcing?
I played around with mine and eventually got it to work. For example I unchecked the "high priority only" on the message alert and got that to finally work. Not sure what constitutes a "high priority" other than any message from my wife, lol!

@RatRedux, thanks for your response! I just can't assign it to a button, also, I've the American version, and it can't really understand my British accent in most commands...how did you assign a button?

managed to remap the registry key as follows:
# Goto HKLM\Software\ Microsoft\Shell\Keys
* - Click Open Key named "40C6"
* - Change the 'Default' string name to "\Windows\Voice Command.lnk"
* - Now change the 'ResetCmd' string name to "\Windows\Voice Command.lnk"
Now close Registry, and go back to device and click the button on the top left side which is indicated by the 'Speak' Icon, and it should now work for you!

I only ever used voice commands with my bluetooth headset so I never bothered to set a button on the phone. It works most of the time but it doesn't help that my wife and neice and daughter and sister in law have similar sounding names so it occasionally wants to dial the wrong relative lol! I turned off the announce incoming calls since my Blueant T1 has it's own built in voice caller ID. Though I must admit the lady who lives inside my phone sounds a bit nicer than the lady inside the bluetooth!
We haven't figured out how to set up Google voice in my wife's Android phone so I must give my old "brick" (as my wife calls it) a nod since it worked right away even on my old junk headset.

open touch 2.4 and bluetooth profile problem (resolved)

I installed open touch 2.4 and LOVE IT.. it makes windows mobile so much useful..
one thing i found problamatic was the bluetooth profile. The problem is when I press the call button on my bluetooth headset it doesn't trigger the voice speed dial. It just launches the dialler which shows the keypad.
That kind of defeats the purpose of 'hands free' if I need to press the voice speed dial on the phone and then use the headset.
Any solution ? Or any other package I can install to get the full functionality of voice speed dial with bluetooth.
I have the same problem, and it effects the ability for me to use MS Voice Command. I wish someone would help, but I made a post about this and got no replies.

guys,
I'm working on v2.5 and will try to resolve this issue if possible.
I need more details as to what is happening.
Also,
I did not see any of this nature posted in the original v2.2 post.
Who else is having this issue?

Just to cover all basis, did you setup the button 5 options?
Remember that I left the 5th button free for people to choose either voice record or voice speed dial.
Going forward, please do not create new post, instead post your issues in the original thread.
Thanks,
I'm pretty sure that what your dealing with is a registry problem. When i switched to touchit 2.3 i had to reconfig to the following:
1 Use registry editor to edit the following entries on your Wing:
Under: \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A udioGateway\, Modify Value data: OEMAGEX.dll to BTAGExtModule.dll
Under: \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\VoiceCommand\, Add DWord Value: LaunchAPEnable, Value Data: 1
Under: \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\VoiceCommand\, Add DWord Value: VoiceCmdEnable",Value Data: 0
2. Wait about 30 sec, then soft-reset
Try it and let me know how it goes. I dont get credit for this it is from a previous post. This did work for me tho. I can prompt the voice speed dial from the bluetooth.

Thanks ttran for responding. I have great respect for you for putting together this great ROM.
The issue is..
I am pairing my bluetooth headset (motorola h850) with the phone. After paring, if I press the call button on my bluetooth, it is supposed to invoke the voice dial app in the phone and call the voice tag I spoke. However it just brings the phone dialler screen and does nothing.
My diagnosis
For an incoming call (when paired), I can pickup the call using bluetooth headphone's button. So I know bluetooth instrument is working.
Secondly when I directly invoke voice speed dial from phone (i mapped a hardware button to voice speed dial) it works fine too.
Only problem is I can not invoke voice speed dial from bluetooth headset.
Do not confuse this issue with the hardware button mapping since I am trying to invoke voice speed dial from bluetooth headset (not from hardware button on phone. that works fine)
Please let me know if you need any futher information. I will happy to provide any additional details.
BTW thanks again for putting together such a great ROM.
Hi,
Thanks for clearing that up.
Please try what mrmikemcguire posted:
1 Use registry editor to edit the following entries on your Wing:
Under: \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A udioGateway\, Modify Value data: OEMAGEX.dll to BTAGExtModule.dll

Under: \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\VoiceCommand\, Add DWord Value: VoiceCmdEnable",Value Data: 0
2. Wait about 30 sec, then soft-reset
And let us know if it works for you, I don't use blue tooth so I can not test it for you.
Also,
Let me know if it fixes your issue so that I can add it to the next release.
Thanks folks,
sorry didn't work for me..
Ok.... First, thank you mrmikemiguire . Now hoolahoous .. did we make progress? The Audio gateway should be opening now... Verify that the registry modifications are correct in your device, then power cycle..... there may be another piece to the puzzle but those changes should work.
Edit: Final piece... Verify HKLM,"SOFTWARE\OEM\VoiceCommand "Path" = \Windows\SDDialer.exe
Okay.. thanks for everyone's help.. I finally got it to work... One thing incorrect in above settings was
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A udioGateway\, Modify Value data: OEMAGEX.dll to BTAGExtModule.dll
the default entry was VCBTHAG.DLL not OEMAGEX.dll , I missed that..
however when I changed VCBTHAG.DLL to BTAGExtModule.dll , it started working..
ttran001, maybe you can include these entries in 2.5.
I know you are not planning to include voice speed dial or voice command in 2.5, I personally feel that you should include atleast one of them. My vote would be voice speed dial since it works for everyone but voice command works only for subset of people. When I say work, I mean software being able to recognize what a person is saying.
but thanks to everyone including mrmikemcguire to get it to work for me.

Hi,
That reg fix has been added to v2.5 and yes Voice speed dial is included but not voice command since it takes about 4mb of space.

Either way thanks for providing feed back so to help resolve this issue.
I am using 2.5 slim and cannot get audio from realplayer, skype, etc.
I push the button and all I get is some wrong application, try again later errors....
Please help.
It all worked perfectly with the Clean ROM so may be someone with know-how can look at the registry differences between them and tell me if this is fixable, or i have to install the clean again...
Thank You!

Contact Specific Ringtones

Is there any way how to assign specific ringtones to some of mine contacts? Even my old Motorola had this feature very useful specificaly for the people who need to be accesible by some of their contacts all the time, but can call back most of the callers later.

You can assign ringtones to contacts stored in the phone. You cannot assign them to contacts on the SIM.

How will you do that? I have no such option in menu in Contacts?
after the contact is saved, you will see the option to set a ringtone for them under their mobile phone number when editing the contact form.

Got it it.
Sorry it was stupid question, but I overlooked it always when I was checking settings. Sometimes we just need somebody to open our eyes.

It's no big thing. We all miss stuff sometimes.
Look at vipRingtone
I think this is what you are looking for located at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=328560
You could try Ringo, it allows you to use mp3s and assign to individuals and your outlook group categories. You can do the same with SMS notifications.
to be honest, i'm really surprised no user flamed you for this question. it is really too basic, you can find the answer in the user manual that came with your phone. but as someone said, everybody overlooks things sometimes. cheers!

I took joy in the fact that I haven't seen anyone ask this before. That made it worth answering without any snarkiness.
I must say I'm a little disappointed. When I say the subject of this post, and that jarek91 was the last poster, I was expecting to read some juicy trash.
But I must agree with jarek91 that I actually haven't seen this question floating around in quite a while.
OK guys, so I found that my original question was not so stupid after all. Of course I overlooked edit setting in contacts, but as I now controled all contacts transfered from the old phone, it seems like they all have already assigned the proper specific ringtone. However, whatever I do (and I tried all settings on phone for changing ringtone from none, through generic to specific) all incoming calls still have only one ringtone.
What now?
I am using 1.83.631.4 (radio 1.27.15.32) Rogers Rom (only ROM with public caller ID)
From what I remember that is the exact reason I looked around for something. As I said earlier try Ringo!

I tried, and it realy works. Thank you.
What I want is a "unknown caller" specific ringtone. AFAIK this cannot be done without additional software. Can someone please prove me wrong on this. Essentially I need a discrete call tone for no caller ID.

+1 (the rest of this is to make the message long enough to post)

Hope I'm missing somthing here...

...but can you really not simply call someone who has just texted without having to revert to pen and paper???
TIA
Sure, just press the Phone button.
That certainly doesn't work on my phone (standard UK 1.37.405.1 WWE).
When I hit the phone button, all I get is the keypad, with the last event in the call history highlighted.
I have to say, I've tried all ways I can think of with this issue, and I'm amazed something so fundamental appears to be missing. I can't remember how many times I got texts on my old phone only to decide the answer was too complex to text and decided a phone call was more appropriate. On my old phone I just cut the sender from the text and pasted it on the dialer, and that was a 'simple' Samsung D900... so what's going on with the Diamond I need to start carrying a paper and pen.
Please someone tell me I'm missing something, or that there's a trick other than having to temporarily enter them in my contacts or need to start exercising my extremely short term memory?
Hi,
If you open all messages and hit the call button, verify the number and call.
Works on my UK Diamond.
Ok.....
Seriously....?
Why did you buy the phone in the 1st place?
Cos it was "Pretty"?
If you go to your inbox, showing all your text messages, select the conversation between you and the person you want to call.
Then use the directional pad to select their part of the conversation (you will know this because their text message and name will be highlighted - might be highlighted blue, it is on mine...) then simply press the call key, (very bottom left of the handset).
You don't have to press any other other buttons.
It will ask you to confirm before it actually dials.
Didn't your phone come with a user manual? - I'll explain how that works.... you pick it up and page through it using your hands, it also comes with extra features such as an index at the back and a table of contents at the front.......
........Or is it like anyone who owns a BMW or Mercedes who was supplied with one that didn't come with indicators!

Hey Studz, no probs man.
Glad this thread didn't become ugly.
I guess for the guys who are developing ROMS and stuff, questions from newbies can be a pain in the ass. Perhaps there should be a section for "I'm sorry, I know I should be able to work this out, but I've tried for 3 days and can't :eek"
I'd probably fill it!!

Anyway to change the voice that reads sms outloud?

You know the lady voice that announces when the battery is almost dead, when you get a text message and reads it to you and all the other stuff...is there any way to change that text to speech voice to a different female voice? I know there are several other voices that are available but not sure how it would be changed on wm 6.1
First off, what app is doing that for you?
huh???!!

Are you sure your using a diamond for that? I have used a diamond for months now and have not discovered that feature!! please provide further details as to what device you have and which country bought in etc.

I think I know what he's talking about, which is he has MS Voice Command installed.
As far as I know, it isn't possible to change the voices on MSVC but if anyone can prove me wrong please do, as I'd love a different set of voices as well

He's talking about Voice Commander. When you receive an email / sms you can run it and say 'Read SMS' or 'Read Email' and it will read any unread emails /sms
Very handy, esp. when driving

Come on now, of course I know what freakin' phone I'm using. That's like asking someone if they know what kind of car they drive and if they are sure about it.
Here's what you do to enable it:
Settings>Voice Command>
Check 'Enabled'
Check 'Messaging', 'Status' & 'Phone' boxes
The go to 'Notifications' and check 'Announce notifications through device speaker or wired headset only'
[/LIST]
Those directions above will read out loud the person calling you when you get a call, the person who sent you a SMS and what the SMS says, will read to you any email including the sender and subject line, but not the email and will also notify you when your battery is gonna die.
Trust me, it's a major attention-getter when your phone reads a text message to you when it comes in and people around you are like wtf was that. Plus it's great if you are lying in bed or something and your phone is across the room...you can hear what the message says and whether or not it's worth getting out of bed for. :-D
But anyway, if anyone knows how to change the voice please respond. Thanks!
Voice Command isn't installed on all Diamonds as standard and as I stated, there is no way to change the voices, I have searched for this myself before with no luck.
cool!

This sounds like an excellent app! I tried locating it on my UK O2 spec diamond and could not find so if anyone has got a cab file please post. I will search google now and i'm sure i'll find it and post if no-one beats me to it.
Man i'm learning new sh!t about my phone everyday. Cheers guys i know i have not answered your question but you have helped me finding something new
nice one!
pretty sure you cant change the voice but i know there's a registry tweak to slow the voice down witch makes it easier to understand. I've just remembered I'm sure there's the tweak in Advance config hope this helps
yeah i have this enabled on my phone and its the best when your laying in bed and wonder if its worth looking at. I do wish it was a more sexier voice like sigourney weaver from planet earth, and a little slower would be nice. IT came stock on my sprint diamond fyi, im surprised other versions dont have it
I have a sprint diamond and mines only talks when someone sends me a text message marked urgent and thats it. I have all the tabs checked on VC in the settings menu. am I missing somthing?

You don't have it setup correctly, that's why.
Go into Voice Command and do this:
- Check all the boxes you want to use this service. (Phone, Messaging, Status, Etc.)
- Highlight 'Messaging' then click on 'Options' button then UNCHECK 'High Priority Messages Only' and CHECK 'Announce New Messages'. Do the same steps for others like 'Phone' and 'Status' to change it's options. Make sure you highlight it first.

Thirteen "not obvious" questions about using X1i

Good afternoon!
I've tried to ask these question on other forums, but almost nobody gave me an answer. There were some about different software to use, but it didn't really help. So I would be very pleased if you, dear X1 gurus, answer these question. Please, if you know the answer - write it here for me and other people. Thank you very much in advance!
The priority is: I. How to solve the problem using native software or registry? II. If and only if the first is not possible, how to solve it using different software?
1. Where in file system the vocabulary of words which were inputted before is situated? It's a vocabulary with these tooltips-words while typing. Can I get it somewhere form my phone and backup or even edit?
2. How can I check my X1 uptime?
A: As yet I know only one way: use AEButton Plus. You can correct or supplement this opinion(and please do it) if you know more on that.
3. Someone called me from number +ХХХ, I want to call him back, BUT to add a zero between + and the first digit(+0XXX). How can I do it? I can't copy this number and there is no options like "change then dial". The one and only solution for it - is to choose "send SMS" and copy the number from the "From" field! But is it useful and normal for a device which costs about 500 euro?
A: As yet I know only one way: use Inesoft PhoneEx. You can correct or supplement this opinion(and please do it) if you know more on that.
4. Imagine: you have a contact Ivan in your contacts, which has 2 phone numbers: mobile and work. Two sms arrive to your phone: one is from his home number, another is from work. Sms inbox displays both of it as "Ivan". How do I know which sms is sent from what number?
A: As yet I know only one way: use Inesoft PhoneEx. You can correct or supplement this opinion(and please do it) if you know more on that.
5. How can I copy a number which was dialed earlier or number from contacts? I see only one way(but it's weird): chose "edit contact" and copy from the field. Is there another way?
A: As yet I know only one way: use Inesoft PhoneEx. You can correct or supplement this opinion(and please do it) if you know more on that.
6. While a phone conversation how can I easily save a number which my friend is saying to me? I tried to dial it while a call is active, it's ok, but once the call is dropped, my number disappears! Yes, I can create a note using a special touch-key, but it's not useful, because I should use my keypad and then should copy that number, but I need to dial it! How can it be solved?
7. Have anybody experienced a problem while taking a photo of many different objects? I had. It happened when I took a photo of a forest - there were a lot of trees alongside each other and after pressing shot button, "Saving..." was displayed on my screen for about 15 minutes! After it said that it failed to take a photo. What it can be?
8. Where can I find all my earlier connected WiFi points and passwords? I want to save it before upgrading my firmware. Can I backup it?
9. Can I turn of a feature of turning my screen light on when I plugging my X1 to PC? I don't want this light to be turning on when I do it! Is it possible?
10. While surfing internet via GPRS/EDGE or getting my email from server, my GSM part of device seems to be "unconsciousness": when somebody calls me, I'm "out of zone". How can I fix it? I want my GSM part to be number 1 by priority!
11. I can see anything when the sun is shining. I know everybody with X1 can't. But can I "ask" my backlight to help me? For example, set it to turn maximum power when on the light, or something? I'm asking because, as I've understood, my auto-backlight works vice versa: when it's bright - it turns off, when it's dark - it turns its max power. I want max power when it's very bright too!
A: People say that screen protector with anti-glare really helps.
12. When an SMS is coming, I get a popup notification at the bottom of the screen. I can either press "Reply" or "Options". If I press reply, the chat mode opens and I can reply, seeing all our conversation. BUT if I go to my address book and choose "New SMS" on a contact, different form will be opened, just like for e-mail composing. And here is a question: how can I make this "e-mail composing" style sms appearing after I press "Reply" when new sms arrived? I know how to turn the chat mode off, but I don't need it to be turned off completely, because it's useful while reading sms from one person. I just want reply to a person using simple form. Is it possible somehow? I think that if it's can be made by hands(New sms from contacts), then it could be implemented programmatically... maybe some values in registry?
A: As yet I know only one way: use Inesoft PhoneEx. You can correct or supplement this opinion(and please do it) if you know more on that.
13. At the screens you can see screenshots from my X1 with R2A0010 and 1.14 radio: 1 hour after powering on and 2 days after powering on. Why there is such a difference in memory consumption in some system processes? Is it an ordinary thing?
A: People say that it's normal. You can correct or supplement this opinion(and please do it) if you know more on that.
Thank you very much in advance again!
Great questions, especially #6. I can't answer any of them exept #5, so I'll have to watch this thread along with you!
#5, go to call log in the phone dialer and there is a menu option to save to contacts. If you want to save it to a pre-existing contact....you will have to add a question #14 to your list
PhoneX can do these two.

It's almost the same solution I offered for existing contact(edit contact and copy number from there). Maybe it's possible somehow to add in menu "Copy number"? (or I just have too much hope)

I don't know how about you, but when I choose "Save to contacts", it opens all contacts + "New contact" list...

Thanks for your answer. Yes, it can, just as Inesoft Phone. I've installed both of it. And then removed both in the same day. IMHO, they add some good design, but hardly can pretend on a lot more useful then original dialer. (Just for future messages, to have this thread clean, I say to myself and others(for the off-chance): I would not want to discuss any soft here, so please, let it be only tries to answer to these questions... thank you in advance)
BRING ON THE QUESTIONS!!!!!!!!!
1 - I don't know.
2 - AEB Button Plus has such a feature.
3, 4, 5, 6, 12 - I use PhoneEx sorry.
7 - Never heard of it. Upgrade your device to R3A and try again.
8 - I believe there is a text file in the Windows folder. I am not 100% sure though.
9 - Yes. There is a reg tweak, but I can't find it. Someone else should have it.
10 - Never had that problem. Are you using a custom ROM?
11 - I can see the screen very good in the sun, because I use a screen protector with anti-glare. Buy one and be amazed.
13 - It is normal.

I've been using the PhoneEx trial for a few days and it doesn't do #5 and #6. If any workaround involves tons of keypresses and program changing (during the call) to accomplish, then it fails. I think the OP is looking for a quick way of accomplishing these things during a call. Going to the notes application during a call only partly works. In order to actually use that number you may have jotted down in notes, you have to find the file and call the number from the notes file...not very elegant. There should be a means of jotting down numbers while in the dialer (without sending out tones causing your voicemail to go crazy) so that you may call or save them during or afterwards.
Also, I may be wrong but, how do you add additional numbers to a contact without copying and then going into edit contact then pasting? For example, how do you add a home number to a contact that already has a work number without manually going into edit contact and adding it. There should be a "merge with existing contact" feature within the dialer menus.
Not bashing PhoneEx, because it is pretty good otherwise. But, I am a stickler for convenience features. I hate tons of button pressing and navigation to accomplish simple things.

I tried to assign the dial pad to the call button, but I just get a dead PhoneEx screen. Is this a limitation of the trial version?
It works when I assign Calls or Contacts, but not the dial pad.

Sorry as in "I use superior product ftw" .
Unfortunatelly the nature of WinMo is that you need to add third party soft most of the time. That's the way it works.

If you don't mind I'm asking, why do you want to check your phone uptime? Do you have a time usage restriction or something?

Just for fun My work computer can be running for month or so... Sometimes it's interesting for how much your X1 is powered on. For example, if I see any bugs on it, I question myself: "How long does this thing work? Maybe it's time for an SR?". If I found that it's only a day - I would be very curious. And if it's already a week - I do an SR without any additional thoughts That's my answer
