Voice Command... Can it announce caller 1 time only?

Hey all...
This is my first post, but I've been reading the forum for a long time and I have found out so much because of this website that it's become ridiculous. I feel very fortunate to have found it and to be part of it. I wanted to ask a question however that I can't seem to figure out on my own.
Microsoft Voice Command... I really love the program but I have one small gripe about it. I really like that it can announce an incoming call so I don't have to see it to know who is calling, but when the ringtone plays at the same time it really garbles up the sound. I don't like this at all so I came up with a kind of compromise.... I have it vibrate and make the announcement first and then I have the ringtone kick in right after... but it announces a second and third time which garbles up the ringtone again.
It would be really great if I could get the announcement to play the first time only. I was wondering if there is way to have MS Voice Command make only one announcement of the caller so the ringtone will play nicely afterward? I haven't been able to find any option except to uncheck "Announce incoming call", but I was thinking maybe a registry tweak or something?
I've looked around the board and a few others without luck... So I'm not expecting much, but I figured someone might take a look and see for me.
Thanks in advance...
Marc

i also experienced this problem as well. I hope somebody can help because Voice Command is a great app.

Scroll wheel muting ring?

Sorry I have to post this, but I think that the scroll wheel along with some other keys seem to mute a ring when I get a call. Is there anyway to disable this?
I particularly dislike this because the wheel tends to roll when it's in my pocket..
Also, newb question here, but what all keys mute the incoming call?

Have you found the solution to this problem? I'm also looking for some way to disable this mute function.

I too find this very annoying. But I have not found any solution.

Probably a question for "Kaiser 'General'" section. I am surprised that you haven't gotten an earful yet from quite a few people telling you to go get a case. I've had my Tilt since mid-Oct. and an xv6700 for I don't remember how long prior to that and have only had bad experiences retrieving PPC from my pocket. The first "P" in "PPC" is misleading as far as I'm concerned because I don't believe they should be in your pocket.
You can assign a button and/or icon to WisVol.exe and get the volume icon to appear as I did with the speaker icon in the Sprint plugin. Go read awhile and don't be surprised if your post is moved by the time you check it for replies. Happy Tilting.

I only have this problem when I have Slide 2 unlock installed. You guys having the same problem,,, do you have S2U2 installed?

nope no s2u2. will look into WisVol.exe and see if this is the answer

Freaking SMS notifications in calls... times 3!

These are driving me up the freaking wall. I keep my phone on vibrate most of the time, but even when it's not, my SMS notifications only sound once. When I'm in a call, however, every text message that I receive interrupts my call. Not only does it sound a notification (which the other party can hear), it does it 3 times! It happens so quickly, that the stupid thing can't even finish before the next iteration starts again. I don't get upset easily, but this makes me want to punch something.
I can't find ANY menu item that differentiates how notifiations for SMS messages are in and out calls. Can anyone help me?
Oh yeah, I posted it here because I'm running Quentin's 6.0 WM6 ROM (v1.2). I don't know if it's something unique to his ROM, or if it's a default setting. I tried posting in his thread, but no one answered.

I never had this problem on any of the ROMs I have flashed and I've flashed over 20. So Maybe you could try another and see if it happens.

Man, I hope so. I really like the Q-Mobile ROM, though... I wasn't planning on flashing until he released another one. It's the only ROM that has cured my "flashing fever". Heheh...
So... if you're phone is on "loud", and you get an SMS during a call, what happens?

i can hear the notification when I am on a call, but the other person has never said anything so I'm not sure if they hear it or not. Only bothersome because my tone is kind of long and it drowns out what they're saying. I've never had a multiple notification though.

The other side doesn't always hear it. Sometimes they hear it clearly, sometimes not. I always hear it, though. It drowns out everything else. It's like a freaking smack in the ears every time it happens. If I could find the person responsible for programming that to happen three times, I'd kick him/her in the crotch.

At least Voice Command isn't reading them to the person you're on the phone with....

Hahaha, better watch it. I wouldn't be surprised if that started happening now....

Mine does the same thing on every ROM i've tried. It plays the notification sound, and then a "beep" sound on top of it, playing the beep twice. Never figured it out.

have you tried one of the kaiser tweak apps out there to disable in call volume beep's? this might just solve your problem

Answer call lag

Hi! maybe it was on this forum about that but I couldn't find it. Sorry for my poor english
I have a problem with answer call lag. it's mean that when my wife call me she has 2 rings (in hear phone) and after that TP turn on screen and starting to ring. I know earlier that call is comming because led is blinking, but screen is off to 3. beep (in my wife phone).
and I have some times another problem, when time from my calendar comming reminder ring, vibrate, screen turn on (why?), but when phone is locked TP doesn't go back to stand by and the screen is still active, you can see today screen.
maybe someone has any experience with such a problems? please help me!
thank you!

I noticed the call lag in my TP as well.
anyone has an explanation?

lag here also but dont know how to fix... i dont think this can be fixed.

[Q] Phone viber and then ringing starts after a while, when receiving an incoming cal

Hi,
Ive notice this since the first day i bought the phone but thought was just the ringtone. Then, i certified with a custom ringtone that the ring sounds starts at 0:00 but yet, when receiving an incoming call, phone first start vibrating, and then after a while it starts actually ringing.
Is that a os bug? Does it happen only to me? Is there a way (any imaginable) way to fix it?
Thanks very much

Hello!
Im sorry but i dont see any thread reference
also, i dont use a custom rom but my device is in fact interop-unlocked and i do have wp7 root tools

It's an OS feature. Typically people who have their phone on vibrate because they want to be able to pick it up without it making a lot of noise. Therefore the phone gives you a second or two to respond to the vibration before it starts the ringtone.

Thank you both for the answers!
Ive been investigating the ringing system on wp and i gotta admit im a little disapointed of how limited it is. I mean, my old symbian could ring, vibrate and increase ring volume at the same time. (wp can only do one at a time)
Nevertheless, my question has been answered, thanks
