voice command 1.6

For some reason, even though I have gone through all the settings, I cannot get the thing to announce who is calling. I do have that option selected. The only thing it could be is the choice of speaker?
I have had this running on both my previous devices with no problems and like the voice telling me who is actually calling.
Any thoughts would be great.

From the Microsoft VC page :
Incoming caller ID announcements will be spoken via the phone speaker on devices with a Windows Mobile build prior to 15097.3.0.0. To check which build is on your device, go to settings >about or start >controlpanel >about. If your build number is lower that 15097.3.0.0, this will be true for your device

You said you've gone through all the settings, but for completeness, this solved it for me.
Settings > Voice Command > Phone > Options
Check off "Announce Incoming Calls"
This is turned off by default.

Still no joy.
I will try all the different speaker settings now, just to make sure a third time.
Thanks

No, the annoncement is not available for your device .

I not sure this will help, first disable voice command and replace the file voiceCommand_PPC.dll to windows floder. You need to show all hidden folder first. Then copy another 3 files to voice command folder under Program Files floder. Do a soft reset then enable voice command and chose announce incoming call. This should fix the problems......cheer

Sorry, forget to name another 3 files Voicecmd.exe, VoiceCmdRes_PPC.dll and VoiceCommandWMP.dll. It's work for me.enjoy

Cheers, I will give this a try tonight.

This is how to make your phone ring for longer before voicemail

Im sure most of you seasoned veterans know this, but for anyone new who is suffering from Vodaphone's paltry 15 second window to answer your phone before voicemail kicks in, this might be useful.
Start -> settings -> tap on the phone button -> tap on the services tab at the bottom -> choose Call forwarding / Call divert (dependant on rom) ->Tap on the big grey "get settings" button -> wait for it to obtain your current settings from the network -> change the relevant option "forward after XX seconds"
AFAIK the max is 30 seconds, so there is no point having a ringtone that is longer than 30 secs,
Anyway I hope this helps.

Yeah, it's in 5 second increments from 5 to 30 on all phones I believe. Always a good thing to know.

Just be aware that by doing this, you are overriding the network vodafone mail settings which automatically handles the call divert - not your phone. By making the changes described above, your phone will now divert the call and therefore you will be charged for the divert (minuites will be taken from your inclusive allowance if you have any.)

The option is not available on Sprint.

I believe this small window can be attributed to the slot cycle index. That is the delay amount before the phone rings one caller has connected. you need the MSl to change it. It's under MODEM or CDMA settings under ##778#. This has been covered many times here and ppcgeeks...

Im not normally so direct in my statements, but im sorry you are talking complete and utter nonsense, the handset never handles call divert to voice mail, it is ALWAYS handled by the network, when you change it to 30 seconds you are signalling a change to the network, there is no additional cost incurred unless you live in one of those lame countries where telco's charge you for the time that your phone is ringing, in which case the person calling you will have a bigger bill.

Thanks for the info. I did it on my ATT one. It works.

I suppose it's because I am from gsm-land and not cdma-land but I have no idea what you are talking about... besides the thread is about the time between the call being connected and its diversion to voicemail, not the time the phone needs to start ringing.

This is really helpful........... thanks!

this gives me 10 extra seconds to answer the phone. thank you so much.

Yes thank you. I was too lazy to look this up. Now I have 15 seconds more to answer my calls.

effiog
This is awsome i did it on my fuze and it works perferct i wish it can rings longer but that's fine i think thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheers mate.

gosh I never imagined the setting would be in the network settings. Thanks for sharing this useful tip.

Necessary for Sprint Version?
-> choose Call forwarding / Call divert (dependant on rom)
This option is not available on the Sprint version. Maybe I don't need this adjustment. Not sure yet, just got the phone today.

ice_coffee thanks for your contribution to this forum. I did not know about this and find it very useful.

I saw this too, but it always times out when attempting to save the new settings to the network. On any ROM. AT&T Fuze.

Does not work with Rogers in Canada. Rogers network has a hard setting which cannot be changed for neither love nor money

This is only for GSM phones, it won't work with CDMA phones.

In Call Recording?

I tried the In Call Recording Cab and I don't think it's working. I have a verizon TP2. Anyone else get it to work on your CDMA TP2? Also, where do you find the option if it is working?

I had no issues. Just install, do a reboot (or not, I'm not sure if it's required or not).
During a call, press the menu soft key and tick record call. To find the call, fire up notes and you should see it. Set Notes to record audio to the storage card and you shouldn't have any storeage issues.

Confirmed working on my VZW TP2....
As stated before, open the "Notes" program and hit "options" and select the storage card as the place to store the notes.
Next make a call, hit "options" look for the "record call" option and ur good to go. When you end the call it automatically ends the recording so you do not have to go to "options" again and do that part.
After you end the call, run the "Notes" program and you will see the media files with the date and time as the name. Thats your call recording.
Here is the link to orginial thread on the topic.....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=536472

I like ACR works real well. automatic too!

Ive been using ACR as well. Its automatic so I dont have to think about it. It labels the calls really well with caller ID info and time stamps. I just have to remember to clean out my "call recording" folder once in awhile ). I think you can set it to only record when you trigger it as well.

You need to follow the two steps bellow:
1. To enable 2 way recording just change:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev]
"VocRecPath"=dword:00000002and you'll be able to record with any software.
2. If you want to use WM6 native recording (WAW only, on \my documents\notes, manual activation: during a call hit "record" on call menu) create:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\AudioRecording]
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Voice]
"EnableCallRecordMenuItem"=dword:00000001
"AllowInCallRecording"=dword:00000001

The nice thing about ACR is the way you can set it to record every call, BUT to have a screen pop up AFTER the call to offer you the option to keep it or not. Simply choose Yes or No after the call

you guys had to install cab's for this..?? my phone came with this option 100% stock...

I cant get the recording to be recorded to the storage card. I tried to set notes to save to the storage card in the options for "notes" but that didnt work. tried to change location settings in advanced config to put "my documents" on the storage card and that didnt work either.
How do i make the phone record to the storage card?
is there a reg change or something i need to do to make this possible.

how can i intercept a phone call?

what i want to do is to automatically add a specific prefix to all outgoing calls made, for the purpose of saving calling fee in my area. for instance, i want to add 1234 before any call number, whether it's from call history, contact, or any other sources.
im a .net developer, but i didn't find any managed library that can intercept a phone call and make modifications to it. i also explored the TAPI a little bit, it appeared to be able to do the work for me. but the problem is i've no idea of c++ programming.
so is there anybody here who can help me on how to wrap these native methods into managed counterparts?
any/other clue would be appreciated.

Take a look at Google Voice. Perhaps that might be simpler to use to save money on calls?

Hi,
try with Settings > Connections > Advanced > Dialing Rules
I think you can setup a profile that fit your needs.

doesn't work. and i don't think that setting is for phone connection.

actually i've changed my idea to developing a separate application to access call history and contact. and then when call button is clicked, use the managed Phone class to dial out. this still needs native dll as to accessing the call history. but this seems to be more practical than intercepting outgoing calls.

iDialer
http://supware.net/iDialer/
Not sure if this is exactly what you want, but I use this with my Googlevoice configuration to make free calls. Here's how I have it set up:
1. Installed iDialer
2. Installed configuration CAB that I built through the iDialer website
3. Click the phone icon within iDialer to set it to "Ask" which service to use.
4. I also have installed iContact, so I then go the contact I want through iContact.
5. I select the number for that contact that I want to dial (Home, Work, Mobile, etc.)
6. My phone brings up a pop-up asking:
-Alltel
-GoogleVoice Internet
-GoogleVoice CallingCard
7. I select what I want and it dials that instantly.
This works VERY well for me, and I am able to use my callingcard for out-of-network calls, and Alltel for quick in-network calls.
Hope this info helps!

thanks for the details.
i have 2 queries b4 actually trying it:
1. does the phone call get available via the network? if yes, then it's not applicable for me, cos i'm using gprs which is slow if i want to transfer voice.
2. i checked out google voice and found that it only supports numbers in US. true?

Moved as not software release or development.
Please take your time to read the rules..

How to disable Gear s3 when calling from phone.

Hi So i have this problem. Every time I want to make a call from my phone and the other person picks up i cant hear him/her nor can i talk to them using my phone as everything is redirected to the watch. So I always have to disable bluetooth and unpair from the watch in order to make calls from my phone which is annoying.
Anyone can help me how to fix this so when i make call from phone it doesnt automaticaly makes it a call from watch.
Thank you.

I don't know what phone you're using, but with the Pixel dialer, you have the option of changing the audio destination while the call is in progress: i.e. switch between bluetooth device, speaker phone, or phone speaker

Hi I am using HTC ONE M8. I know about that option that once i pick up i cant switch the voice to phone but i would say that unnecessary task. Why in the first place is the call on the watch when i picked it up on the phone. Makes no sense.

Will try this
