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.

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

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?
I changed the registry successfully and on my first attempt used the headset to activate MS VC. Trouble is once the call has ended it appears that the 'gateway' is not closed, therefore you cannot make another call via your headset button until the device is 'warm booted'.
Is there any fix out there that will address this problem. Does it have anything to do with the BT vs Widcomm stacks.
Thanks :?
I find if I hang up using the headset button (Scala 500), even if the other party has already cleared down, the audio gateway closes and the next press of the button on the H/S reacivates audio and fires up VC again.
Are you clearing the call from the h/s or just letting the other party clear down to release the call?

MS Voice issues with Bluetooth headset
to be honest I've not really noticed. At times I would clear first, others it would be the person I called.
All I know is once the call has cleared I'm left with an open 'gateway' If I restart the headset it's still 'open'. It's only when I soft reset that it clears the headset.
It could obviously be different across different headsets, but with the Scala, audio stays on after a VC command, and I need to press the button once to close it, and a second time to get the VC prompt back. Something like this...
Press...
<Mic Symbol>
"What is the battery level?"
"The battery level is 23%"
Press... (to close audio gateway)
Press...
<Mic Symbol>
After a call, I usually press the button just in case, and I don't recall it restarting the VC prompt, so I assume it's closing the audio gateway. Maybe it's just my timing and i'm closing it as we say "goodbye", so I always force the call to close down, even if the other party is doing the same?
There have been a few "VC doesn't work reliably" threads, so maybe it does, as long as the h/s behaves as MS expected. If you don't use the h/s, just the phone VC button and mic/speaker, is VC okay then?

That's the way it works for me with T-Mobile Vario & Jabber 250 HS.
What I would like to be able to do is disable the Jabbers own ring tone as it masks the incoming caller announcment, and I appear to get the
phones own ring tone played in the headset anyway.
Also is there any way to make just the voice louder?
I think the VC announcement voice is a normal system volume (system), and the phone call is the in-call volume (right) sliders on the volume dialogue that pops up when you tap the speaker icon on the today title bar. I don't know of a way to increase the VC annc over the ring tone.
I did find on my Qtek that there's a hidden system .wav file in /windows called LB.wav which appears as an alarm and is a really loud 'boing' sound. I copied it to /windows/loudboing.wav with Total Commander, removed the system/hidden flags and use that as an alert. I guess, in reverse, you could use a sound editor to reduce the level of the ring tone .wav file and then turn the system volume up so that the VC annc (if that's what you want to increase) is comparatively louder than the ring tone...

I really enjoy using Microsoft Voice Command especially for announcing the name of the incoming call. The problem i am having is that the volume is very low and i cannot hear it sometimes even with the system and phone volume set to the highest. I noticed that the incoming voice is actually lower then when it repeats things back to me like looking up contacts. anyone know how to fix this?

I got TyTN and at the same time I got a SE HBH-DS970 bluetooth headset. Ofcourse there is the skipping problem playing music and the extremly anoying all-sounds-transfer-to-headset issue.
But from what I see others have posted there really no good tweak or reg hack to fix that until there is a rom upgrade.
But my other issue I have is an other thing. I have played around a bit with MS Voice Commander, and I like it alot. I done the regfixes to lock it to the callbutton on the headset and so, but here is where I get my problem.
Pressing the callbutton on the headset works, it launch Voice Commander, but for some reason the sound is rather bad, I hear some noise in the background, kinda just it have picked up the phone or started to use some "amplified" microphone (can't find a better way to describe it, but for some reason the headsets microphone seems to be amplifed).
It also take about 1-3 sec before I see Voice Commanders microphone in the topbar on the screen.
It is very anoying since it more or less make voicecommander useless, the "amplified" microphone (or what is is that generate the noise) is alot more sensitive and if it isn't totaly silent around you it simply wont understand me.
This "noise" only happens if I use the Callbutton on the headset and not if I use the button on the phone itself, if I press the button directly on the phone and launch the program like that it works perfect, no noise, program launch in a sec and you hear Voice Commanders beep in the headset and it work perfect.
I just wonder if anyone else have a similare problem like me and if anyone know a fix/tweak or something.

Where might I find those reg fixes?
My Motorola S9 headset phone button doesn't launch M$ Voice Command.
Did you use the instructions in the massively long thread regarding MS VC 1.6 and BT?
As for the delay, those instructions do tend to induce a delay, but as for a hyper sensitive mic, not sure. I do know that using the handset for VC is WAY more sensitive to noise than my Jawbone.
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.
