any ideas?? - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

hi all...
i have a dilema: :arrow:
i've got a motorbike with a headset for my helmet, which i can plug into my pda via the jack plug . I listen to mp3 's on it... so far so good.
Wot i want is a killer app that can help me adjust the vol contrl using voice control. any ideas?? :?: :?:

Thanks to MortScript, you can do that.
Basic steps:
Create two scripts to send the "Volume Up" and "Volume Down" keys (repeat the script steps if you need to move down a couple of notches in one command).
Create a shortcut to each of the scripts such that you can launch it with Voice Command.

Thanx for the tip I'll give it a go!!

Start menu items

In the start menu are several links to programs. I am trying to determine if some of them are needed in start menu?
aflashman.lnk
cflashman.lnk
Are these programs to permanently write contacts to/from rom?
If so do we need this in startmenu or could we do this from the program directly when needed?
Handsfree.lnk
Does tis have something to do with using a car kit?
If so do we need this in startmenu or is it only needed there if we install the car kit?
Yes these are to flash to ROM at cold boot(softreset).
a for agenda flashes your calander.
c for contact flashes your contacts.
If you uncheck this option under settings perm save they will no longer be in your startup folder. Likewise deleting them from the folder is same as unchecking them. They need to be in this folder if you want this info flashed to ROM for safe keeping.
Handsfree link simple runs the program that lets you use speaker phone on the device while a call is in progress pressing and holding the green phone key will switch your phone to speaker phone mode, but you probably already knew this
Hope this answers your questions.

That is very helpful info. Thank you. Since I don't really flash contacts/calender to ROM (keep them on SD card), I guess I could uncheck aflashman.lnk & cflashman.lnk option and just re-check if I decided to use them?
As for Handsfree.lnk, I didn't know this was for speakerphone. Is there a way to set speakerphone to always be on when I am in the car, so that every call I make or receive will be on speakerphone?

How about ChgDfLnk.lnk.
What is this and do I need it in startup?

Just to be correct: handsfree.lnk is not for using, but for giving visual notification that handsfree is ON.
Holding green button during conversation works without this program. So you may delete it
As for "speakerphone is always on" No, you may not turn it on "forever".
There is a trick though and you may find it here:

How do I remap fonix voicedial button

hi just installed the fonix voice dial anyway was wondering if anyone has figured out how to remap it to a diff hardware button, it seems it has been hard coded to the voicerecord button. I currently have this button mapped for HandyLauncher but each time I press the button VoiceDial Launches... even if I have the Button mapped to Handy Launcher Voicedial is the app that is launched. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
Hi,
The way I've done it before is use a registry editor and then search for "voicedial.exe" (without the quotes)
I believe it'll end up in something like:
Local Machine\Software\OEM\VoiceDial (or VoiceCommand?)
Simply delete the VoiceDial (or VoiceCommand?) section it self and that's literally all you need to do.
As always backup your device before editing the Windows Registry etc etc etc.
Works for me though and I've done it about 25 times (I hard reset a lot!)
Thanks a lot
Have the same problem on my Qtek 9090, Fonix has taken over my record button. However, if I press nad hold the button for 1/2 a second, it works fine. Give it a try - much better than messing about with the registry (unless, unlike me, you really know what you're doing!)

Personally I hate it when software forces its preferred options on you when there is no need to. Removing the registry entry for the Fonix voice app turned out to be very easy, and now I have my button back!
I used the free Registry Editor: http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/RegEdit/
Thanks much Xanth.

voice command bt initiation

soooo is anyone working on this for the hw6900? or are we waiting for the update from microsoft?
I would love lend a hand to anyone willing to try, but unfortuantely my technical know how is not as high as my enthusiasm...
even in the mS Mobile page says, the voice commands does not works with the Ipaq, is an issue with the buetooth stack, I know some people change it and has a different stack, but...after a while they go back, because has more issues than solutions, sorry.
folow next step:
1. copy shortcut voicecmd.exe from \program files\voice command to \windows\start menu\programs.
2. open buttons (start\setings)
3. Assign a program to button 1 (press-n-hold) assign voicecmd (not assign voice command)
This procedure work 100% microsoft voice command 1.6 my 6915

This is how the program is ment to be used, but what we are trying to accomplish is starting the program (or voice prompt) via pressing the button on our bt headset.
anyone working on this?

Button 4 mapping problem (press & hold)

Hi!
I have a problem with mapping hard button #4 on my universal.
In Settings -> Buttons, I have Button 4 Press mapped to Voice Speed Dial,
and Button 4 Press & Hold mapped to Voice Recorder. But when I press
this button, always Voice Recorder will start - even if I tab this button for a short time,
or when I hold this button for 5-10 seconds... Always Voice Recorder
will run...
I have tried to change this mapping to other commands, but always taping this
button will start the command from Button 4 Press & Hold assigment...
Indeed you are right. This problem persisted even in the Helmi WM5 aku3.5 ROMs.
same problem here
The only solution I applied was using another application to assign the button presses to launch different applications. I use AE Button Plus: http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=21070
But first I renamed "Button 4" to be "Press and Hold", and renamed "Press and Hold" to be "Button 4", since this is the button that is able to launch applications. I then use AE Button Plus to map the button assignments. There is also a freeware button mapper called PQZ: http://www.nicque.com/PQz/ Some say, PQZ is better, but I have not tried it myself, so I can't comment.
I have founded that problem is with MS Voice Command.
Before installing MS Voice Command, I was able to asign commands
to "press" and "press & hold" mapping. After installing MS Voice Command,
only to "press & hold" (works like simple "press")... Unfortunately,
uninstalling MS Voice Command didn't solve problem... But registry restore
from backup fixed that issue !!
So this problem seats in registry after installing MS Vocie Command...
Have anyone some idea what key couses that problem?
Maybe I will try to find solution, but I need an apliaction that can
check all modification in registry after installing some software...
Does anyone knows such software?

SKTracker does exactly that quite convenient (14 days trial).
http://s-k-tools.com/index.html?sktracker/m_feat.html
Basically you could as well diff two registry exports, with VoiceCommand and after your restore.
(For this you may want to look at s-k-tools freeware as well...)
You can use SSNAP utility (from SK too) instead of sktracker. It does snapshots the register and keeps them in a plain txt-file. Then it is possible to compare two snapshots by using IDIFF utility (from SK too) on your PPC or by using fc.exe on your windows desktop computer.
You can find the above described utilities here http://s-k-tools.com/index.html?m_util.html

The real fix for MS Voice Command and Wm6 rom

So I worked with others on this and have successfully come up with a solution to this problem.
Step one is to download the attached file and extract the files to your SD card.
Step 2 is to run your msvc1.6 .cab install.
After reboot run we run the extracted .cab files.
First run the Voice Command Apache Fix . cab install
then go into your button setup in control panel and set button 1 to start menu and the first button 5 to none.
Next run the LennySH VoiceCommand WM6 Fix .cab install
now soft reset.
Next you need to run the IDTransferV1[1].cab
After install it may ask you to soft reset... this is fine.
Almost there.
Now go into file explorer and find the IDtransfer icon in windows/startmenu/programs
copy that file and go to windows/startup and paste the program in there.
Soft reset one more time.
Now when your phone reboots it is almost ready.
You will have IDTransfer come up and u need to check Enable and click on hide. If you ever soft reset you will have to repeat this process to keep IDTransfer running in the background.
Now to go your control panel and click on phone and set your ring type to ring and ringtone silent.
next we go to the control panel again and select voice command.
under voice command select phone and options.
check Announce incoming calls
click ok to save and again ok to save
close out of the control panel
soft reset
when IDTransfter comes up select enable and click ok.
Now go into your BT pairing and remove your existing BT device and then re-add it.
After that you should be in working order and the voice dial and call announce works fine.
What exactly does this fix?
When you say fixed, what exactly are you fixing? What is broken in my view is that when I place a call by bluetooth, the "voice in my head" (AKA my bluetooth earpiece) repeats my request back, it might even ask for more details, (i.e. "work", "home", "mobile" etc.) and I say "Yes" at which point the earpiece goes deaf. And when it can't hear my response it shuts off. Are you saying this fix, fixs this?
finally you got it working
thank you so much it only took me 4 hours to find this
but everything works like it should
Voice Command Fix
I tried this and followed directions exactly, but when I got to the following step "Settings" freezes and I'm not able to configure Voice Command causing me to have to soft reset and am not able to complete the steps.
"next we go to the control panel again and select voice command.
under voice command select phone and options.
check Announce incoming calls
click ok to save and again ok to save
