Development thread for a software method to morph your voice during a phone call
The idea is to develop a software method which let's you morph your voice during a phone call. There are many ways to achieve this and I am amenable to suggestions.
Since I was not able to find any API which let's you configure the voice or the stream from the microphone or something similar I came up with the idea to write a driver for the microphone, which would give me the ability to change my voice directly within it, but after some research it was clear to me that it can't be that easy.
Updates:
05.05.2010 - Microphone driver solution died. Researching for a new way...
Windows Mobile doesn't seem to have any influence on the microphone during a phone call. Deeper research about the hardware of the phone is necessary (processors, DSP/MDSP,....).
HELP IS APPRECIATED AND ANY SUGGESTIONS ARE WELCOME
I will update this thread as some news appear.
Please write your suggestions and your ideas directly as post in this thread.
Good idea !
good luck , i'll watch this thread
You'll get a better response in this forum...

You've posted in a HD2 specific forum, but that one is specific to Windows Mobile software development.
Device specific
The reason why I posted it here is that I am going to develop the driver on this device (HD2 Leo) and because the only solution so far i figured out is developing a driver, which is device specific.
good idea, i have been after an app similar to the "i am t-pain" (autotune)app from iphone
please can you use autotune?
God speed to you good sir!

Fair enough, but surely it wouldn't be a device specific driver to do this? Never mind.
This will be great for extortions. The question is whether we can find a way to disgiuse the phone's ID and location (which can be found using cellular triangulation) otherwise we have achieved nothing here.
lol this would be a fun one... hopefully you can work some magic and create a special treat for us hd2 users

Autotune is an app for iphone, which obviously can't help us here.
In addition autotune doesn't morph your voice during a phone call.
The main problem here is not the morphing itself (such apps already exist for WinMo), but the fact that it needs to be done while you make an active call.

Live morphing during a active phone call would be nice..
There is a software name Voice Twister for Windows mobile which can do live morphing but not during active phone calls..

I'm looking for an app that can reliably record a 2 way conversation from the Nexus One. I've had a search and found some old school apps that dont seem to work on anything newer than 1.6.
Not looking for 'stealth' apps or anything to cover my caller id or change my voice!
If anyone has any ideas please let me know. Quite happy for it to be a paid for app - just need something that will reliably work.
Cheers for any ideas
Bryan
** I'm aware of the legalities of this and intend to use this after I have announced to the caller that I'm recording - please don't turn this thread into a legal one!
Not possible with the current state of the radio/baseband drivers.

Thanks for that, at least I know now.
Annoying though, bit like the lack of proxy support

I’m sure many of you have heard of the Occupy Wall Street movement. Over the past week I’ve become involved and have determined that there is a need that could most efficiently be met through technology and since I know little of developing I’m looking for some assistance.
Here is the problem:
Protesters are not allowed to communicate with a PA system. This means that when we try to organize we need to scream everything out to each other and pass the message along. As you can image, in the game of telephone things get distorted and misunderstood. We need some way to relay messages to anyone who needs it quickly.
Solution:
I believe that an app would be the best way to facilitate this. While there could be updates online, that’s slow and requires people who want to post something online to go to the blog. It also means that we would have to constantly check. It also means that someone would have to type long messages in through a touch screen. Not efficient.
My Idea is for the app comes from seeing the app Coco voice for the iphone. It’s a service where you can speak into your phone and like a text message it sends that vocal message to said recipient. Now if you took that same kind of recording idea, and instead of sending it directly to a phone number, uploaded it to a main server and people subscribed to that specific “group” (or what have you) would receive a push notification about a new message. Then everyone would be able to get important information about what’s happening, what we’re doing. And especially where to avoid clashes with police. A text element for quick messages would also be great.
What’s in it for you:
1) You’d be helping a movement that hopefully you believe in.
2) The use of this application could go far beyond just this movement. It’s sort of vocal tweeting phone to phone. Subscribe to a group and be informed. People could record a cut of a song and send it directly or just say hello to all your loved ones at once while on vacation. This is a legitimate idea that has widespread application.
3) This will quickly become one of the more downloaded apps. There were 15-20,000 people at the NYC protest last night. The protests are also sprouting up in over 10 different cities across the US. Then there will be people that just want to know what happening. An immediate wide audience to launch the application and gain publicity.
4) You will get mad props
Is there anyone out there who is willing to put in some time in helping to develop an application to help facilitate communication among protesters? This would have to be a free app at least until the protests are over. Preferably it would be both iOs and android compatible. Please let me know so we can talk through some ideas, specifics, timelines, and what not.
Also let me know if you think this is possible or not. Or if you have any other good ideas. Let’s get this moving.
ps - let's try to keep this from getting political. We do not need to argue about the protest here. If you are interested great help out, if not then just move on to the next thread. Thanks in advance.
LoL. Really? What are you end goals? What do you want changed? Who makes the rules?

I would love to talk to you about this, but this is not the right place for that discussion. Pm me if you actually have interest, I have real answers. I just know this forum was not made for this purpose so I won't do it here.
It would be very honorable for some Devs to spend a little bit of time on this. I could see this app on headlines. Would be a good way for some Dev to get exposure too.

Anyone else not getting sound on a call from Viber? People can hear me...I can't hear them.
Hi,
This is a member of Viber's development team.
@spielnicht - what device do you have? Do you have stock or custom ROM?
Which Viber version?
Thanks in advance.
Viber Team
Viber no sound on GARMIN ASUS A10
Hullo,
same problem here. I got a GARMIN ASUS A 10 with Android 2.1-update1 and VIBER is 2.1.2 version
Many thanks for any help
leo
This problem can have 2 different reasons:
1. The device is not officially supported by Viber. Unfortunately, that's the case of GARMIN Asus...
2. Sometimes Custom ROMs may be the source of this problem.
Android GARMIN-ASUS: Why Not?
Hi there and thank you very much for your reply.
To be very honest with you, I don't see clearly the point why it isn't.
I know many, many GARMIN-ASUS happy users here in Europe who would be very happy to use your excellent peace of App along with all the other working ones...Actually, it is the first time I'm able to fully install an App from the Android Market which is not properly working on my device...with no prior information :-( ...By the way, the device is (apparently) working fine with all other Viber features (especially texts, which is already quite nice)...and if there are no special (technical? commercial?) reasons, I wonder why you cannot work out this GARMIN-ASUS related sound issue as well...
Have an excellent day from Europe!
leo
Well,
As a company, we naturally have limited resources. We wish we could develop full compatibility for all devices out there, but unfortunately we can't.
We're looking at the global market shares of Android devices, and GARMIN-ASUS is one of the least popular ones (even though we acknowledge that it is not a "bad" device, etc.)
I didn't say we would neglect it, I just said it might take sometime before we attend to test it fully. In the meanwhile, if indeed you know so many Viber users who are longing for full compatibility, you may gather them and jointly open many ticket to our support team. The more tickets, the bigger chances that we will prioritize this task
Here's the link to our support team: http://support.viber.com
no entry for device compatibility or similar
Well,
I'd like to do that but, apparently, the wizard for support queries doesn't allow me to do that (I mean, either to me or to the thousands of other Garmin-Asus all around ) as, apparently, there is no- entry for such an issue.
leo
You can find a way to simply open an individual ticket and then write your request (again - please note that only if it is a joint request by many users, then it will have effect).
Hello, Thank you Viber Team for replying to the issues in this thread.
I recently (yesterday) installed Viber on my Galaxy S2 X - Telus (Canada) and it installed without issue. I can see friends and call / msg them but when I connect I can't hear any audio and they can't hear me as well. I have tried using both 3g/4g and wifi and received the same result.
Have you experienced this issue before? Is there a way for me to pull a log to determine the error. I'm just guessing but it seems lke the signalling is working properly and there is a problem establashing the rtp stream.
Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide. I look forward to using this kick ass app
xluthor
I see you also sent me this via private message, so please see my response there
Same issue, galaxy S (I9000)
I m having the same issue in galaxy S, that I cant hear anything but the other person do hear.
I have stock rom, 2.3. With viber ver 2.1.2.
I also saw this model in the support list.
I also raised a ticket 2 days ago, which still in process of evaluation.
Suggestion required!
Thnx
Thanks for opening the ticket on our support site, our team will contact you back shortly.
The no-sound issue on some Galaxy devices is still being investigated by our dev team, and that is why tickets like the one you opened are important to us.
If a solution is found with your help and our support team, please share it here for all users to see
they can't hear me...
Hello, I got Samsung Galaxy S, custom ROM... rc4, Android version 4.0.3, VIber version 2.1.4
Everything is great but people can't hear me !
a few days ago I had another problem. I could not get the code, but it resolved after one day when I installed the second time, and now this....
I hope you help me about it ... Thanks
@dzgoran -
Might be a problem with the Custom ROM. Have you tested Viber on Stock ROM? Same problem?
why? i dont know.. I was downloaded from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1398223
tnx...
You'll need to contact that ROM's developers. Unfortunately we can't afford to fully support all Custom ROMs out there...

Viber does not allow me notifications received calls or messages.
After unlocking receive notification of missed calls or SMS.Viber 2.1.6 and 2.3.6, Android.
thenx
I understand now.
Please make sure of the following:
1. Your C2DM service is working properly. You can check it with Android developers themselves, and also make sure a Google Account is associated with your phone.
2. Do Viber's notifications work fine when your phone is not locked?
3. Have you tested this issue when connecting to different WiFi networks?
Hi,
I'm looking forward to an answer to this as I don't seem to find anything relative anywhere. Is it possible to connect a droid over a 3G network(not wifi) from a remote location(A computer). We are actually trying to develop a project where a android phone(xperia ray) will be mounted on a bot and will be controlled by DTMF and video feed will be sent via 3G video call. We want to implement a few more functions and hence we are looking forward to establish a remote session via a computer. I don't know what logic to be used to code, or if there is any existing solution to this. Need a few thoughts. Also need to send the sensor data remotely to the controller droid phone or computer. Help of any kind would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Yes its possible, but your questions are too broad to answer.
There are various ways you could implement it, be it ssh sessions, websites or more.
Get more familiar with writting apps and ask something specific, we can't do your work for you, you have to do some research yourself .

Hi thanks for the reply Sure. Ofcourse we don't expect anyone to write codes for us. Which method would you suggest , which will be easy to implement coding/learning wise? I'm good at websites with php
Thanks.
One site that I've found that can do anything with the phone over 3g, is webkey. I don't know if it's what you're looking for, but it seems like it may be.
I'm looking for information pairing bluetooth hearing aids with the 8T. Evidently there is something known as ASHA that the phone needs to be compatible with.
My problem is, I just got hearing aids for the first time and the app from the manufacturer connects fine to the hearing aids and allows me to control the volume but it does not stream audio to the devices.
Anyone with knowledge of this?
Go into accessibility, hearing enhancements, hearing aid support. Your Bluetooth should be on and link it to the device.
Does the aid manufacturer have an Android app?

They do have an Android app. I was able to find in the accessibility settings an option to enable hearing aids, but so far still no streaming audio.
Look in Developer options too.
Sound and connection settings.
Android tends to bury advanced settings well.

I think I'm finding out from the manufacturer of the hearing aids that it's only compatible with Androids with a separate device that goes between the hearing aids and the phone.
What do the specs for the hearing aid say?
There is only a small statement on the manufacturer's website that lists the devices they are compatable with and the 8T is in their list. It is compatable with their app that controls the volume of the hearing aids. But there is supposed to be more options like streaming media and phone calls. I'm just going to have to switch brands of hearing aids to one that works because I am not switching to an iPhone, I refuse!
You'll need to do some heavy reading to sort this out. I know very little of the protocols and what's available. Start doing searches and collecting links etc...
I am in the same boat - I have an Umidigi A9, and the Chinese devs have not yet included ASHA support (even though ASHA is available as of Android 10). I am exploring the possibility of rooting my phone to manually include ASHA support.
Do a Google search for "Android ASHA compatible phones" and see what devices your manufacturer supports.
Samsungs tend to have user and bt friendly/customizable UI's, however not sure if this extends to ASHA devices.

You might find something specific for that device on the Samsung or similar forums.
The Samsung one is fairly large and occasionally helpful. Not the right manufacturer but it may give you some ideas.

Use Google search, that's what I do.
Just add "samsung forum" or such to the search.
Playing around with the search parameters may lead to other sites as well.
When I tried a search not a lot popped up, but I only tried for a few minutes.
Try this search if you haven't already: "One plus phone,ASHA (Hearing aids)"
