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?
I've just realized that I keep missing calls because it seems to me that the Touch HD takes entirely too long to wake up on an incoming call.
Example:
I called my phone, it rang TWO times before the phone started to wake up, by the time I was able to answer it, it was too late.
Anyway to speed up the waking of this phone on incoming calls. I can't have all these delays. Or is there a way to make it ring LONGER (as a workaround) before going to voicemail?
Does having the phone locked increase the time it takes to wake it up?
Question 2:
It seems like just picking up my phone from my desk answers it. That's no good, sometimes I want to pick it up to look the the caller id but it auto answers upon picking up the phone off my desk. Can this be disabled?

Try using 3rd party apps like 'Advanced Config', 'HD Tweak' and 'SKTools' to tweak to optimise your HD performance.
I know HD Tweak has the option to enable or disable ring delay for incoming calls
I have tweak HD now. So let me ask you, why would anyone want a ring delay in the first place?
I hate how long it takes to answer a call. Sometimes i answer on the first ring and the caller says "what took you so long?".
What's even worse is, if the phone is doing something and someone rings, i can press the answer button all i like but nothing happens...the phone seems to clogged up with other tasks. This may just be the ROM though, i'm about to flash the new Touch of HD rom so i'll see how it goes.
Gat, I'm pretty sure it's a power issue. Windows Mobile is slow and clunky especially on a 528Mhz processor. Can't wait for tegra or snapdragon. I don't think another rom will help you.

Personally I don't why, but I can't answer for everyone!

Try using Dutty's Xtreme V1.8 ROM, link below. I haven't experienced any delays since I started using this ROM. May be a coincidence, but worth a try!
With Dutty's V1.8 rom it takes half-a-ring before the screen wakes up, and then a whole ring on silent before it makes any sound. So 1 1/2 rings before I know some-one is calling.
Guys, don't. This is a issue and fixed by HTC, there's a official patch for this problem: htc.com/www/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=179&act=sd&cat=all
fixed my equal problems at once!
The delay is caused by the HTC dialer and all the stuff it needs to load on an incomming call.
If it is a serious problem for you, use HD tweak to change the phone dialer back to WM6. This will give you instant ring on incomming call, but you will lose some features provided by the HTC dialer such as volume control during call, bluetooth notification on top bar,video calling and possibly mute on face down.
If you don't want to use HD Tweak the reg key is
HKLM\security\phone\skin_enabled
Option is 0 (disabled) 1 (enabled)
Soft reset to make the changes.

Hi, I tried this from HDTweak but it did not seem to make a difference. The phone still takes about 1.5 rings before it starts to ring itself. I have lost the bluetooth icon.
Hmmm - I think I will just go back to the HTC dialer
This post should be deleted, but I don't know how.
Sorry

bazzxdahtc, I can't find the patch for this issue under your link
This one should work: http://www.htc.com/europe/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=179&act=sd&cat=all
Look for:
- Hot fix for improving the on-screen slider feature for answering calls
and
- Hot fix to enhance response time for HTC Touch HD
These two made my HD work a lot better then before! I used to miss calls often due to the lag in answering incoming calls.

These 2 fixes have nothing to do with the famous 2 ring delay. The response time improvement was to solve the latency when using the keyboard - ie sometimes it would appear to freeze. The second fix is for the slider only.
Suggest you guys do a bit of searching as there are a lot of threads relating to this famous 2 ring delay with wm6. The first incomming call always seems to take a bit longer after the phone has been switched off or soft reset - did you try and see what the delay is several times? Appologies that using the wm6 dialer did not work for you - it certainly does for me and many others.
Just trying to help...
I run stock ROM(1.14.404.3(V2227)NLD)+regular updates/patches and this works on my device, you doubt my experiences?
Have you actually tried these yourself? Or are you just reasoning from your cooked ROM...
Suggest you stay nice to everyone.
No i dont doubt your experience apart from the fact that htc fixes are not specific to the 2 ring delay. It also has nothing to do with the fact im using non stock rom .i applied these tweeks to the standard rom before flashing my device. if you do a search for 2 ring deLay, you will see that this is a common problem. Also other sites such as www.pocketshield.netserver01.com/readme.aspx make reference to this exact problem
I'm only tryin to help, and ive spent a lot of my time investigating this issue.
Just a quick thought.. do you have an MP3 assigned as ringtone? I recently added an MP3 ringtone and suddenly it took a lot longer before the phone started ringing..
Changed it back to one of the standard tones and it was much faster.
I agree about the MP3 issue.
I often see my Touch HD waking up to handle the call 1-2 seconds before I hear the ringtone. As soon as the dialler skin is up (or S2U2 application) then I am able to answer the call without the MP3 ring kicking in.
Before I use S2U2, Pocketshiel and Inesoft programs in the same time..it takes at least 4 seconds to starts ring. but now only S2U2 its only 1 sec.
Guys I'm using 1.19.831 stock ROM, applied ONLY Slider hotfix from HTC, ringing with mp3 file (around 900kb size) and do these tweaks in HDtweak and Advanced Config 3.3:
Incoming ring delay = no;
Battery icon in phone menu = no;
Filesystem cache: enabled
Filesystem cache size: 8 mb;
File system filter chace: 131072 sectors;
Glyph cahce: 64 kb;
The delay is around 1.5 ring BEFORE it start ringing. 1 ring before display answer slider. I'm not 100% sure if all of above settings have any connection with the problem, but with these one --> a whole 1 ring delay is gone away...
i have the problem that if i miss calls my phone simply doenst ring, i can receive sms but no calls even full GSM net?the missing calls werent displayed also- anyone else having this issue?
That sounds like more of a network issue then a handset one to me.
I would suggest that you speak to your service provider about the issue. If they provided you with the handset they should be able to help.
missing calls htc hd2
Yes I have missed calls, phone often does not ring at all, always happens if placed in pocket ie upside down or walking. Initially thought it was the "Quiet ring on pickup" being activated whilst walking. but no, have turned off ,also tried Pocket mode on and off,get message missed call even upright in car.?? The caller sometimes gets message after several rings that the phone they are trying to contact is already on a call ??
have ROM version 1.66.707.1 radio 2.06.51.07
Not going to contact HTC again as they seem to know less than me and their voip calls are woefull. Cheers
Hi Rocker
Same here...and its flooded in the net....still no solution..check this out and if anything comes to you...do pls let me know...

I'm new to the phone, had it about a week. I did a search for my issue and found a few threads, but none that were the same problem as mine. I'm new to the terminology, so maybe I was asking the wrong question. Here it goes anyways.
I have my phone Tmobile HTC HD2 (stock rom 2.13.531.1 (90963)) setup with Voice command on.
Under VC settings I have phone checked with announce incoming calls checked as well. Checked to play through phone speaker or wired headset. When I receive a call, it will "ring" with whatever ringtone i have selected for about 1 second before it stops "ringing". The call is still incoming, but no other sound is heard. As soon as I uncheck announce incoming calls, my phone "rings" normally again. I know it's bugged and doesn't work with the bluetooth currently, but I've seen posts where people say it should work for the phones speaker. Just trying to figure out what I've done wrong.
Thanks in advanced! Any help would be great.
Hrm no one ?
I've the S4 for a little over a week, but it's been a rather busy week so I haven't given it my full attention as yet. I really like it so far, I haven't gotten all the bells and whistles to work and I'm testing battery life with them disabled vs enabled etc. But I'm not really doing much else with it yet.
The only actual issue I'm having is receiving phone calls. When someone calls me, it takes a couple rings on their end before my phone starts ringing (I've encountered this with Sprint before though) but then when I try to answer the call, I don't get the person on the other end. I get a recorded message telling me I've got an incoming call from (name of caller in my contacts list) and if I want to accept to press 1 now. The message takes so long to get to that point that by the time it tells me to press 1 to accept the call, the call goes into voicemail.
I don't receive a lot of phone calls, but I would like to be able to actually answer them when I do. As of now when someone does call me I have to call them back.
This message plays AFTER I've 'accepted' the call on the screen and it plays through the handset not the speakers. I have Google voice set up for my voicemail.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Sounds like you have google voice setup or you used to. You will have to go to the site on your pc to disable it.

I thought Google Voice had something to do with it but I didn't think of checking the settings via PC.
For anyone else with the same issue: Google.com/voice>settings>calls> call screening off.
