Tilt 2 MS Voice Command Issue - General Questions and Answers

finally got my Tilt 2 last week! i'v installed e2 ROM by eras2r and it works great for the most part. i just have a couple of issues i'd like to see if anyone can help with.
first, it came with MS Voice Command installed. the problem i'm having is that it won't read my text messages. it announces incoming calls and reads my emails to me, but not my text messages. any ideas?
the other issue i have is that every time i reboot (soft reset) the phone, when it boots back up it displays a "Time Zone" screen for me to pick a time zone from. how do i prevent this screen from popping up when i turn the phone on or reset it?
i'm loving this gyroscope! as soon as i saw that it has a gyroscope built in, i downloaded Gyrator 2. now i've got automatic screen rotation, plus it makes Lightsaber sound effects when the screen rotates. i also have it set up to make the appropriate Lightsaber on/off sound effects when the stylus is removed or inserted! and i don't even like Star Wars all that much. it's just fun to play with the program. opens up so many more options and customizations. just upgraded from the original Tilt, which i loved. but the Tilt 2 blows it out of the water. the screen is much bigger plus it has 512 MB of internal mem, twice what the original Tilt had if i'm not mistaken. going into the \Windows folder in File Explorer only takes about 2-3 seconds now, rather than waiting a good 30 seconds.
thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide me.

In Settings>Personal>Voice Command>Messaging>Options make sure that "Announce new messages" is checked and "High priority messages only" is unchecked.

yeah, i've gone over all the simple stuff several times. it's nothing with the settings. i've used this program on several phones that i've had. never had this issue. i think it's odd that it reads my emails but not my SMS messages, which is the exact opposite of what i want.

Text Message notification settings

OK I'm having a weird problem... perhaps somebody could test it out on theirs to see if it's a problem with the rom or something I've installed/tweaked that is causing it.
For my "new text message" notification settings normally have all 4 options ticked ie a sound played, a message on screen, the light flashing (which I set to no limit) and vibrate.
However on my Raphael when I set it like this all I'm getting is the light flashing and the message on the screen - no sound or vibration I've been playing with it a bit and I've noticed that if I clear the tick for flash light and just have the other 3 options ticked I get the sound and vibration back! Is this the same for everyone else?
60 views to this thread and nobody's even tried it yet... come on guys! PLEASE!!!
Tested
Just set the notifications like yours and sent a message from another phone.
Worked as expected. Action button is doing it's spinning light thing. It vibrated and play the selected tune. But there was no specific on screen message (I haven't used the tweak to wake up on new message.) although it was indicated by a number appeared next to the text message icon.
Hope that helps
I always tick all of those boxes for "New E-Mail", "New MMS" and "New Text Message".
All three have been beeping, vibrating, and flashing as expected. Not 100% sure about the on-screen message, but I think that's ok too.
Not sure what to suggest to get it working properly on your device. On the "Sounds" tab of "Sounds & Notifications" do you have "Events" ticked? No idea if that makes a difference, but I ticked that out of habit...
Hmm.... I do have the events thing ticked too so It's not that. I just tried with no message on screen and it still didn't work properly. It's definitely something to do with the flashing light setting that is causing the sound and vibration to fail.
I'll hard reset later, set it up back how it is now and test the messaging each step of the way to see if I can find out what's causing it.
OK I've done the hard reset and found the culprit. It's caused by installing the cab file for 1-calc lite! Shame cos I really like that calculator and it does look nice on the Raphael's screen
Uninstalling 1-calc doesn't fix it either. Gonna have to hard reset it AGAIN now lol
Oh by the way thanks Lazy Slug and Sub69 for testing yours and reporting back to me
Hmm looks like I was wrong, I have done a hard reset not installed 1-calc at all this time and have started having the same problem again. 1-calc might not be the cause of it after all (I hope so cos I like it) or (god forbid) there might be something else as well as 1-calc that causes it.
Looks like I need to do more testing...
1-Calc Lite
For what it's worth, I also had 1-Calc lite installed.

(PM me if you want some test messages sent to you. I never use my monthy allowance!)
lol I wouldn't exactly call myself a guru of video recording, I hardly ever do it in fact, I just know my stuff about it
For what it's worth:
- I have the K-Lite codec pack installed on my PC which I've found resolved practically all PC video playback issues and comes with some pretty nifty tools like that G-Spot program I mentioned in the other thread. (which you've obviously read ) You can get that here
- I've got Pinnacle Studio 10 platinum edition (commercial software which I paid for) for editing and encoding my home movies off my dv camcorder.
- I use a lot of the free software from this page for quick video conversions, very good software considering they're freebies
- I also have an old Archos AV400 Pocket Video recorder with 80gb Hard drive, which can encode mp4 at 640x480 30fps from any video input source in realtime I Haven't used it for ages but I think I might dig it out again now! This device is about 4-5 years old now, there are probably much better ones about now... check out www.archos.com!
Oh and don't worry about sending me messages, I can send them to myself (I bet you didn't know you could do that!) and I'm on Solo 20 with unlimited texts.
Perfect info. Seen a few people on the train with the Archos - seems a pretty good player.
I'll give K-Lite a go today. Many Thanks
Oh and don't worry about sending me messages, I can send them to myself

Right back to the topic, I hadn't really had any time to do more work on this until now. However, I've just done another hard reset and not tweaked anything or installed anything and I still had the problem.
I have finally figured out what's causing it though, and I'm 100% sure I'm right this time!
I normally use the Nokia SMS sound which comes with the Hermes' Faria-R32/Dr Puttingham rom. This is a midi file. If I select any other file type as the sound for my text messages they play fine with light, vibration and on-screen message too. So I tried changing it to "T-Mobile 1" (also a midi file from the Stock WM6 Vario II rom) and all I got was the light and on-screen message again.
So I've reached the conclusion that if you have a midi sequence selected as your text message alert, the sound and vibration will only occur if you don't choose to have the light flashing... strange but true! This is probably also the case for any other event type as well as text messages.
Midi files work fine on my Hermes though. I wonder if the Diamond has the same problem and it just hasn't been discovered yet, after all I can't imagine many people would choose a midi file as their alert... I'm just weird
Just found out it's the same for .aac files, they don't work properly either! .wav and .wma files appear to be the only ones that work perfectly.
Do mp3s work correctly? i hope so because a majority of my rings are either .wav or mp3
thx
Oh yeah, I forgot to try mp3s Just tested one and they're ok

Blinking codes decoded?

My FUZE, running stock ATT rom with advanced config using the suggested settings for advanced config, other than that, all stock.
My send/dial/answer and enter (center circle) lights are flashing about 5-6 times a second then pausing for 10 seconds or so.
I've checked my email, I don't have any SMS, nobody uses MMS that I know, it just keeps on keeping on.
WHat really obvious thing am I missing?
I suppose in the scheme of things, it doesn't really matter, I think I'm going to install NATF's rom here pretty quick, but I want to get a full week under my belt before I thrash it.
Idk either man. This happened a lot for me too on the stock rom. IT seems to happen when someone calls you, but hangs up before it rings, thus ur phone gets the signal of the call, and thinks you have a missed call, but you really don't. So a soft-reset should fix that. Or flash a better radio.

Go into your email inbox then swipe sideways to reveal the Outook email and just check that it doesn't have the tips and tricks email sitting there. If you arent actually using the Outlook account it doesnt display in touch flo but its still there with its welcome email if you configure activesync. Good luck. Cheers.

Speeding up ring time on incoming calls (an egalitarian thread)

"I CAN'T GET TO MY PHONE BEFORE IT GOES TO VOICEMAIL!" Sound familiar?
This thread is to discuss and discover/provide work-arounds (and potentally solutions) for the lag time between the initial ring from a caller and the incoming notifications on the android phone. Since there are other ways to make it possible to answer a call before it gets forwarded, other perspectives/ideas/questions/discussion are welcome here as well.
(Since I started the griping here I figure I better follow up.)
After a day or so of being opened, there are already several things we can do to help our phones ring faster posted in this thread. If something is confusing to you, please ask. If you click on the username of a post, you have the option to send a personal message. Unless you are darn sure other people have your question, please use this option. If it turns out your question would better suit this or any thread, you can paste your PM into the thread at any time.
I have to say this so I can rail on people: no matter how many Opening Posts say READ, READ, READ, the people who consistently don't read the thread haven't read the Opening Post, either. Don't be one of those people. The rest of us resent you for cluttering the thread, consequently creating even more clutter because there's too much crap for other people to read. We think you are being ignorant and selfish. This entire forum is public information; try to keep in mind your potential future boss might be checking this out to see how useful you might be in their workplace. So this, though probably not read by its intended audience, reserves for me the right to be even b****ier
In case anybody is inclined to test it, I already discovered that the phone doesn't ring when it's powered down....
The phone Prioritizer, combined with using ogg format, seems to do the best or me: I can't find it anywhere else. If I've posted this wrongly, please holler.
There was discussion going into the cupcake build about the latency increasing. I can't speculate on the cause of the latency, but it seems to have been going from the first OEM builds.
Delay in phone ring
Delayed phone ring (and even more delayed screen activation and caller ID) on incoming calls. Speaking for myself, callers hear a couple of rings before my ringtone starts to play. And there is another couple of seconds of delay beyond that before the screen lights up and the caller ID comes on.
I have been having this problem for the past, oh, ten or twenty updates. I have tried MANY things to fix it. If you hadn't already said that you always reinstall the radio when you flash, I was going to try that next in my quest for a solution. This ringtone delay problem is currently my number one irritation with my G1, and is at the TOP of my list of issues that I hope Cyanogen will address and conquer.
I have tried "renice -20" on the phone program, with no improvement. I have tried moving ringtones2SD from fat32, with no improvement. I have tried reformating all my custom ringtones as OGG, with no improvement. I have tried installing and uninstalling a variety of programs, with no improvement.
I am certain that Janis and I are not the only people with this problem. I have seen it mentioned by a lot of people in a variety of threads. I am glad to see a specific thread about this particular topicl If anyone has figured out a solution, please speak up. If no one has, perhaps reports from enough people will serve to convince developers to look into it more deeply. Anyone else have feedback?
I myself am curious to kno if there is any way to work on this. I have been a happy Rom switcher and each Rom has always given me 2 ring delays. The way I worked mine to get close to 1 ring is to constantly use a task killing APK, which I may add is tedious, and making sure I'm clocked 245min 584max
After I moved my ringtones from sdcard/audio/ringtones to sdcard/media/audio/ringtones a prescribed by Cyanogen when he originally took all the ringtones out, I had to re-pick my ringtone, as I would expect.
The odd thing is I also have to do it when I add (a) ringtone(s) to the folder or delete one or more. Can anyone shed any light for me on how the system/phone app references ringtones? Why would it lose a ringtone to reference just becuase I added one to the folder it's in?
How to test, or one way to do it
I use the home phone or skype, that way I can hear how many rings are actually happening for myself, count actual seconds (ear to the phone, eye on the clock), and I can see what order things happen. No one else,except you guys, has to bear with my hare-brained methods, either.
The last time I tested, the ring actually started before the caller ID popped up, but that was a first for me. Nothing happened until about the end of the second ring from the home phone.
Now I'm running Compcache 32mb, Linux partition swap 128mb, CPU 528/245.
Mines takes about a good 2 to 3 rings on the other side before my phones starts to even vibrate. Itfirst vibrates and then plays the ringtone.
Anyone remember before cupcake, when you got a call, even the call button wouldn't accept the call. Thankfully that's fixed but this still hasn't been fixed.

I don't think you will get rid of the 2 rings on the other end before the phone rings. That is probably just the network finding your phone. However, I have had issues with my phone vibrating 2 or 3 times before the ringtone would start playing. I turned off vibrate and it helped. Then I turned it back on and disabled Missed Call. Now there is barely one vibrate before the ringtone starts playing. I'm turning off Missed call until they have an update for it.
I also found that the battery status widget causes a huge delay if you have it set to update as soon as it changes. It checks everytime the phone comes on and that slows things way down. I set it to update every 60 seconds and it still had some delay but not as much.
bout time
glad 2 see its not just me, i almost missed out on a job cause my phone will 'pause' so long it goes to voice mail b4 i can answer. seems like the issue comes and goes, but when its bad, its horrible, 1st it will vibrate for 2-5 sec b4 it rings , then its about 3 sec b4 the id info displays and when im lucky the call button wont react for like 4 or 5 pushes. sum times the phone app force closes, which means 15-30 sec wait while it reacquires the network and if it force closes the call doesnt show up in the call log.
iv had this issue with all the rom's and yes i reload the radio about 2 times a week, but even the stock 1.5 gives me the same issue
ok enough venting, any dev's that have might have an alpha or beta fix im willing to test!

This isn't a ROM problem, it is a phone resources problem. There is something dragging your phone down. It might be different for each one of us having issues.
Ditching userinint.sh
I rm'ed user.conf and userinit.sh to use Cyanogen's default compcache and default CPU scaling. I re-downloaded Swapper and set up to use my 128mb (overkill) linux partition.
I got lights & vibrate at the end of the first ring, I got caller ID and ring just about halfway into the second ring.
Using the attached user.conf I didn't get ring or caller ID until the end of the second ring, sometimes after.
So I installed missed call (donation) and maxed it out. No change. Still getting first response at the end of the first ring, and ring and caller ID about 1/2 way into the second ring.
Maxed out my CPU at 528/528 with SetCPU. Got about .1 of a second advance. It starts to ring and gave me caller ID about 1/4-1/3 of the way into the second ring. Hard to tell, but a bit earlier than 1/2. The second and third time I tried it, it wasn't as fast. Caller ID came up just barely into the 2nd ring, but ring didn't start until the end.
I think the first ring is network time. For the duration of it, I'm guessing, the call isn't at my G1 yet. This sucks.
I think the phone app is set to vibrate and light the phone first, and leaves time for this to happen. It may be because it's the fastest way to alert the user, since looking for ringtone, handling it and sending it can (doesn't always) take some time, it just uses the reliable method and then triggers the less reliable, already slower ring process.
So maybe Cyanogen, or anyone who's familiar with it, can see if this ring vs. vibrate lag can be eliminated. I'd rather have the phone look for a ring first.
But, if you need to get to calls that quickly, set it to vibrate for now?
I downloaded the ogg ring package from the custom userinit thread. Trying that next.
This doesn't contribute anything to the thread at all (except maybe encouragement) but I'm glad someone is bringing this annoying "feature" up for public discussion.
I keep myself updated with CM and kspec oreo as a theme. As it is right now, I get one ring and the call goes to voicemail. The caller ID display actually lights up after the call has been forwarded. Hope the culprit (if there is just one) is found soon.
There has been a parameter on some of my previous phones called slot index. It was available through a keypad menu, it set how often the phone polled the tower. It sped up the ring responce dramatically.
Tried the ogg files, woohoo!
I've got my CPU set to 528/384 with SetCPU, Linux partition swap 128mb with Swapper (I can set them on the fly without rebooting), and used the ogg files in media/audio/ringtones, and I get ring and caller ID at or before the beginning of the second ring, a split second after the vibrate started. I tried messing with CPU speeds, and it does seem to make a difference as to when the ring actually sounds. I'd say about 1/2 a ring between 245 idle and 528 idle with 528 max for both.
I also have my frequency scaling at 16. So I think that means if 16% of my CPU power is being used, it hops it up from min to max. OK, maybe not 16%, I don't know how the numbers translate, but 16 is low, so I'm running at 528 when a squirrel farts outside.
I have BatteryLife and Missed Call enabled.
So there's the pause after the first ring to deal with, but I really don't think it's the phone after this. maybe we need to join forces and barrage T-mobile with complaints. I mean, why have the ringing on the calling end start if the network isn't connected?
Well, at least we won't ever have to worry about appearing too desperate.
2 or 3 bars, so my signal isn't that great. I'm in the suburbs (not that I love it, but it's where I am).
I'd be very curious to find out if others who have their CPUs running high and are using ogg files are getting a different response. I'm also going to try it in different locations.
I am going to suggest to Cyanogen to include the ogg fles as part of his add-on collection.
Face of Ring
I think I may uninstall this, even though I love it. It bumped the ring to after the caller ID. Caller ID still popped up during the pause after the first ring, but the ring and vibrate didn't happen until mid 2nd ring.
(I'm using rings to measure because 1. it's easier 2. the rings/pauses are shorter than a second 3. in large part it's the caller experience we're concerned about. I don't have a stellar chronometer handy, either.)
Well, thanks for starting this thread, Janis. It's a common complaint across all builds. I've grudgingly resorted to calling my phone after every reboot, just to try to keep the ringtone and I'm guessing Phone.apk?? in memory for as long as it will stay in there. That definitely helps for awhile. I know we're trying to make these phones more into computers, but they're still phones and as such calling and communications should be the main priority. I've converted to .ogg, however they are larger files than the .mp3's I converted from. Maybe I should have used a smaller bitrate. Anyhow, it doesn't seem to make much of a difference. I've tried placing them in /sdcard/media/audio/* and /system/sd/media/audio/*. Does not seem to make much of a difference.
I want a hardware hack to increase the RAM...I hate the trade off we're facing. Losing physical keyboard to obtain greater memory. Or make a "Dream plus" with more RAM. I'd even be happy with just a slight increase in internal storage or none at all and more RAM. The devs here have done wonders with the hardware provided, and the implementation of apps to sd has really made this seemingly poor thought out device (in areas), one of the best. I remember, before I was brave enough to attempt apps to sd, having to decide which app to uninstall, just to make room for one I might want more. Seems like ages ago. While I'm reminiscing, I'd like to give a retro shout-out to Lucid and MarcusMaximus who were pioneers in this area and others.
Sorry, about the tangent...but we've made great strides on the computer end of this device...let's regress, so to speak, and make the phone the primary function, hopefully without backsliding on progress we've made on our phones as a mobile computing device.
EDIT: I've also uninstalled "AutoLock" for this reason, because I'd read somewhere that this may be the culprit...I may have seen positive results, or possibly just placebo.
I have the app "Caller Lookup" installed and have noticed tha that app comes up before caller id and or the ringtone. Its there after 1 or 2 vibrate pulses.
make sure T-mobile, or whomever, has your time-before-forwarding maxed
My poor 74-year-old mom was having a heckuva time getting to her phone in time. As per the instructions from a Tmobile service rep, we punched a # and some digits and got a 65 second ring time. This was a year ago or so. I was told that same week that if my OS on my WinMo phone couldn't do it, there was no way they could (there's a way to set it in WinMo), which was BS.
I know it takes network time/space/bandwidth to let it ring, and it's not paid time. I wonder, not to be a rabble rouser (heh), if we kept calling them, maybe hundreds of us if we could get it going, and made them spend more money on customer service than that bandwidth, if they'd bump that.
Anyone?

HTC Touch PRO 2 - FULL OF BUGS - Please review these and let me know!!!!!

Hi Everyone -
I have used the HTC touch PRO for about 3 weeks now and I have to say it is FULL of bugs . Can you guys confirm or deny this:
1. If the phone is set to vibrate, it will go back to "RING" after a single call. Meaning if someone calls me once, it will go back to RING. This also happens if the ringer is set to Vibrate and Ring also.
2. When you make a call using the "dial pad", the "dial pad" disappears very quickly and goes to the main screen. Then you have to hit the DIAL button and then KEYPAD to get it back. It is very annoying when you call your bank or an airline where you have to go through a series of promts like entering your ID numbers, pins, etc.
3. The camera seems to come on sometimes by just touching the screen.
4. If you have multiple numbers associated with a contact (home, work, mobile etc), it shows one number when dialed. For example, when I dial my friends HOME number, it dials the home number correctly, but on the display it shows the MOBILE number being dialed.
5. Unable to send a CONTACT's info by SMS directly from the CONTACTS page. It will send a MMS but not a SMS. THis is when someone asks for a phone number of a person and you just want to send it automatically from your phone book.
I am sure there are other bugs also, but the above are the most annoying as hell.
I want to make sure this is with everyone or just my phone!
Thank you
hey,idk how helpful this willbe but it seems like these phones str8 out of the box are having problems...ive read that a hard reset will get rid of some of the unwanted bugs...you may try that
1. Just tested and after call vibrating stayed on.
2. The keypad goes away but not to the home screen. So all I have to do is hit on key, keypad to get back to it.
3. never had that happen.
4. Confirmed. Seems to default to the first number stored maybe??
5. Confirmed. Most likely because it is sending the vcard or something as an attachment???

My experience is the same with the Verizon branded TP2.
#5 It sends it as vCard attachement.
I Just open the contact info to edit then copy and past it into SMS.
Returning TP2 tomorrow
Used the TP2 for 3 weeks;
1. Screen clicks when touched, guess the slider hinge is loose;
2. Set vibrate then ring, keeps going back to ring only everytime the phone is powered off and back on, (standby on); this is the mode I use often, not to annoy people in meetings, and not to miss calls;
3. Cant set screen dim time to more than 10seconds, it dims after 10seconds no matter what the settting is;
4. Internet brower lunch from home gets stuck randomly, have to hit end go back to home, then internet again;
5. GPS performance with Sprint Navigation is much worse than Touch; It takes much longer to lock, and it lose GPS often; Maybe a software thing, Google map seems to work fine.
Non of the bugs are serious, but very annoying! The phone is too big, too heavy, too expensive ($349 from Sprint)! Miss the dial pad; The only good thing is the beautiful screen.
Hopefuly WM6.5 upgrade will fix these, but dont want to get stuck with waiting for the upgrade, I've just re-activated my old touch, and returning TP2 tomorrow.
You can add the issue of not being able to keep static IP's assigned to the network adapter for use while in your workplace or business, and then when not in the workplace haveing the ability to use sprints data services. In otherwords everything has to be dynamic. If you want to use static ip's while in range of wifi, you have to clear it out when you leave the wifi spot in order to use regular evdo.
gps is fast and accurate
fast if you disable touch flo and use mobile shell
Another bug
When viewing NFL mobile, after about two minutes into showing something, the phone reboots itself. Quite annoyin'!

1. I've heard of this happening after soft reset but it doesn't happen on my phone
2.Works perfectly fine on mine, all you do is hit the 'Keypad' button and it should stay up. if you end up at the home screen hit 'phone' and then keypad and you should be good....do you have a dialer skin on it?
3.Never happens for me
4. haven't tried, i don't have any contacts with multiple numbers
5. haven't tried but i usually just copy/paste phone numbers for sms
definitely try hard reset. and if it's got a warranty or anything like that you still have the option to return/exchange it
well speak of the devil my phone started showing some of these symptoms later in the evening and now even worse when i make calls i can hear people talking but they can hear me
a hard reset fixed it but when i restore my backup files it goes back to messing up so maybe it's one of the tweaks i ran?
is there a way to use sprite mobile to only restore contacts/sms? that's all i really need i'll think i'll hold off on the tweaks and just wait for the HSPL unlocker
Hope these problems are all fixed when the HardSPL is released.
As for now, I am holding my breath waiting to see if the gps problem is fixed on a new rom, waiting to buy this phone.

yeah, the real messed up part is verizon is out of stock with the phone. i went to a verizon store but they couldn't even replace it for me. i think the people over there are retarted cuz i've known it was out of stock but the dudes at the store didnt know and the guy they had me talking to on the phone didn't even know they didn't sell them in stores!
'you'll probably get the imaggio isntead it's the upgrade of your phone'...no stupid i need a keyboard
mine keeps switching from Ring and Vibrate to Ring as well

XDA Orbit 2 calls by itself

Am using an unmodified Win 6.1 rom and whenever I have my USB headset connected I run the risk of the phone calling the last number I dialled by itself.
Also sometimes Cyberon's Voice Speed Dial settings window comes up and since the screen's active at this point it could be doing any number of things while it's in my pocket.
How do I disable this?
I found that ssdaemon was a contributing factor so i've removed it from my startup list and ended the process.
Annoyingly I have to keep ending the process, since it keeps starting up whenever a sound comes through.
And it still dials by itself when I put it in my pocket or any similar space. Keylock doesn't make a difference and i've taken it out and pressed all the button combos i can find to emulate it but that doesn't work.
Try flashing a new ROM
3lit3is a good one!
I'm using 3lit3 with RESCO 2010 Today plugin, it have the screen lock option.
