MS Voice Cmmand CallerID Voice really quiet

Installed Voice Command 1.5 and all is well.
Apart from the fact that the voice is really quiet when announcing the callerID for an incoming call.
It is fine when announcing other stuff.
My laymans diagnosis is that the voice seems to be coming through on the same channel as the ringtone and so when voice command automatically lowers the volume for the ringer, it has the knockon effect of making itself really quiet too. Tried using WAV and MP3 ringtones... all the same
This is really annoying as callerID is so useful for answering calls with the screen closed
Anyone else got or fixed this?

Same problem - Any Solutions yet
Stu

Nope, no solution yet.
Could anyone let us know if they have voice command working fully on any flavour of the HTC Universal.
Let us know if when you get an incoming call the ringer volume is lowered but the voice announcement remains at proper volume? If so it means it is working and there is something duff on mine and Pegasus626's devices
There's also an issue with the "SHOW CONTACTNAME" command as on mine it comes up blank and you have to try to edit the notes to see the details!!! odd
I am beginnning to think we may have to wait till voice command 2.0!

setup ringtone to vibration only and you can hear the voice announcement very well

U.d.o, thanks for that. that's the closest i've got so far
still bloomin quiet though.
odd that if you set vibrate on from the today screen it turns off the volume to the pda too. Can only do it by setting both volumes full then going into settings > phone > vibrate only
On your device U.d.o, is it still much quieter than other announcements such as battery level?

Voice Command on Mute

I use the feature in Voice Command to announce incomming callers so I know who is calling me without looking at my phone. I have set my ringers to none, so all I hear is the name of the person who is calling. However, for some reason, Voice Command seems to ignore the system volume, and still works when I have the phone set to mute.
Does anyone know of away to force Voice Command to adhere to the system volume so my phone does not go off in class or when i am at work. It doesn't happen all the time, but I know when pressing the voice command button even when the phone is mutted, it will unmute the phone and still sound the beep and confirm your commands, then put the phone back on mute. It might be a bug that exists because of this feature, but if there is anyway i can disable it, that would be great! I don't mind having to turn my volume up when using voice command to here the command confirmations, becase having the incomming callers not going off randomly is more important.
Thanks!!!

This is what I do
Go to settings, then click on Voice Command Settings. Highlight the word 'Phone', then press options. Uncheck the box that says 'announce incoming calls'. As far as I know, this is the only way to make the voice silent when a call is recieved.

Thanks....I was hoping there was a way to do this without having to change the settings everytime I have class, but I guess not. I think its just a bug anyway because it only happens sometimes. Guess I'll have to go back to good ol' ringtones....

How do you turn the ringer off, by turning the volume all the way down with the volume slider? By clicking the speaker and then clicking off?
I hold the comm button until it goes into vibrate mode then I use the volume slider to go down to off and VC has never announced the calls when the ringer is off.

8525 Voice Command Announce Help

I have VC 1.6 installed on my 8525 which works great, but I have one issue that I can't seem to figure out. When I am on the phone and another incoming call comes in VC announces the new caller which can make it hard to hear the caller you are talking to. Is there a way to lower the announce volume or even mute it.

Same here - anybody know how to fix this ?

There's no independant volume control for the VC voice, so you'll just have to turn off announcements using the control panel app if it's bothering you.

Not true, there is a registry hack that will allow you to raise or lower the volume, and also slow the speech down.

Xperia Ring volume up and down.

Looks like I'm having another strange "quirk" of my Xperia.
For some reason my ringtone goesu p and down when it rings.
It starts loud for about half a second then goes quiet, then after a second or two goes loud again, then quiet and so on, so forth.
Anybody got any ideas why it does this? The damn thing is too quiet as it is let alone with the volume wobbling up and down all over the place.
I'm using an mp3 that I trimmed with mp3 trimmer, the mp3 volume is normal, i have tried it on PC and bluetoothed it to several other phones.
Of note, after a hard reset it worked normal for a little while, but then started doing this again.
A friend suggested it might be a feature of "something" i have installed so you can tell the difference between the ringer and your music that's playing.
I just find it annoying and would like to fix it.
Any suggestions, ideas welcome. Thanks.
P.S. It happens with other ringtones already on the device also.

If you have installed Microsoft Voice Commander, uninstall it.
I had the same problem, after uninstalling Microsoft Voice Commander its working fine.

I have the same problem, but I kind of like how it varies.

Correct
You are correct, I do have voice command installed. I wonder why the voice command would be made to change the ringer volume though, it's not like it's to prevent the system thinking the music is a voice command, because a key has to be pressed first, in which case the music would pause.
My only other idea is that (like nokias etc) the part where the volume decreases, the system (voice command software) is supposed to "read" the contact name out loud to you. (but it doesn't).

so if you uninstall microsoft voice command, does it mean the phone will not have the feature for VOICE DIALING?
cause i use microsoft voice command in order to make phone call while im plugged into my wired headset

Yup - go to Settings and MS Voice Command, select Phone, Options and untick "Announce incoming calls".

Thank You, i was terribly worried

I guess there is enough software around, that provides you the feature of voice dialing. I for instance use VITO Voice Dialer.

Very low incoming voice on apps, voip

I have this huge problem.
On apps like Viber, Line, voip and other call applications there is very low voice that I can't hear them. But in normal calling there is no problem.
And I'm pretty sure all voices on phone are on their highest rate.
Can someone tell what problem is?

I dont use those, but I suspect the phone sees them as Media instead of Calls, and that is a different sound setting.
Settings > Device > Sound > Volume. Raise the Media volume if it's set to low. See if that makes a difference.

While in a call (VoIP) press a Volume Up button to the max position and see what type of volume are affected?
If it is not a media, try to increase media volume to the max.

I know these settings and I mentioned that all voices are on their highest. And I know how does it act but that's not the problem.
even when the call in on speaker, there is no difference.

Isn't there any solution for me?
