[Question] Caller ID + Ringtone - Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps

If anyone is familiar with Verizon's phones... most, if not all, new phones for them have a ringtone setting where it's something like "Caller ID + ring"
What happens is... when you get a call from someone on your contacts, this will happen:
"Call from John Doe" *Ring tone*
Like it'll actually say, "call from..." is this possible on the AT&T Fuze? I'm using NATF ROM.

Anyone know anything about this?

Sounds familiar.. I think either Cyberon or the MSVC does this.

Its MS VoiceCommand
i used it for a while on my dash when screen broke, hooked up My mobiler setup MSVC and thats how i knew who would call!
its weird though when i get a private call or an unknown number, it would still anounce the last known call i got

The Nokia phones do this without needing any software. I wonder if it can be done on the FUZE

Voice commander - Silencing it!

The HTC voice commander, is there any way to stop it repeating what you said after you've spoken someones name or the application to load?
cheers guys
Could be wrong here, but I think it is prompting you to confirm that it has interpreted your command properly.
When I am making a call, it won't proceed until I have said "yes" after it repeats the contact name.

Start --> Settings --> Voice Command
(and FYI, it's Microsoft Voice Command, not made by HTC)
ok then cheers.
iv had a look under all the command settings and it doesnt say anywhere about turning the repeat off. With my command it beeps, then i say the name, then it calls. It doesnt wait for confirmation etc at all.
Doesn't cyberon have a program named voice commander?
I am fairly certain the original question was referring to Cyberon voice dialer. I don't think you would want to silence it since it is not always that accurate. It will repeat back to you what it "thinks" you said. This gives you the opportunity to cancel if it gets it wrong.
On the flip side, I discovered that if your phone is set to vibrate only, the speaker is turned off and the voice dialer is silenced... So there is at least one way to accomplish what you want.
My mistake, that does sound like Voice Commander. Not a big fan of that program...
Apologies guys, just checked the 'about' of it and it is Cyberon Voice Speed Dial.
Id still be interested in silencing it if anyone has any advice. I know its usefull hearing it back to you, but usually i say the name then lift my head to go about something else, only checking the screen top see if its a name iv had problems (voice) calling before.
That being said, are there any alternatives that are more popular? Iv had a bit of a look around but havnt found any other free programs that beat the standard voice dial.
Nothing free, but MS Voice Command is a good alternative. Cost's $40 or something like that but I am about to pull the trigger on it cuz Cyberon suks and has some kind of conflict with my bluetooth headset...
My vote goes to MS Voice Command also. I'm also rather fond of it repeating back to me what it's about to do, since it sometimes hears me wrong.
For people in the US on AT&T, the latest leaked WM 6.1 build has MS Voice Command integrated in to the ROM. Dutty used it as part of his Apr 09/16 release, so MSVC is already loaded and ready to go.
Is there a way to have the repeated command sent to the earpiece speaker rather than the speakerphone? I like to hold my phone up to my ear and forget sometimes as the speaker blasts away at my eardrum...
Been using it for a few days now and im starting to get used to the voice so guess ill just live with it.
Thanks for the help anyway guys

How to stop ringtone delay?

Hi all, has anyone managed to sort out the 2/3 second delay from phone receiving a call to playing the ringtone? Its rather annoying
I'm also having this problem.
Anyone found a workaround yet?
Anyone? I'm very curious as well.
I am using the new ROM and got also this problem.
My HTC Wizard, running on WM5 has the same problem. Never bothered me, really and always thought WM was the culprit.
my blackberry used to do the same thing!

My nokia N95 8gb and 8600 Luna do the same thing as well!!!...to be honest it doesnt bother me in the slightest. I think most phones do the same thing.

Open the registry editor:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER >>>> ControlPanel >>>> Sounds >>>>> RingTone0
And modify 'Script' by removing the w3 this should solve the problem let me know if it did not !!

then do this tweak hoop that it works now:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER------>ControlPanel------>PhoneNetSelMode------>Timeout
change the value from 3000 to 0
thanks for your help..
but then still the same..
i think its the natural lag on windows mobile when theres a call?
so different from my n95..
the lag seems to be the time it takes to initialize the mp3/wma/wav player and then load your ringtone from the storage.
Ya my March 2008 firmware updated Nokia N73 also has this 2-3sec lag.. It annoys me.. i 'miss' few of the missed calls (short ones) given due to this...
I've just increased the time it takes before a call is forwarded to voice mail.
Not ideal but at least I'll have fewer missed calls now.
I even had the same Issue on my Motorola RAZR...

How do you do that?
@nokmond
presuming you are in UK then you can change this by following the instructions in this thead:
http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=40232
It may work for other providers but don't know, it definitely works on O2, T-mob etc here.

Thanks mate
try using *.wav as the ringtone. Let me know if it helps.

Anyway to change the voice that reads sms outloud?

You know the lady voice that announces when the battery is almost dead, when you get a text message and reads it to you and all the other stuff...is there any way to change that text to speech voice to a different female voice? I know there are several other voices that are available but not sure how it would be changed on wm 6.1
First off, what app is doing that for you?
huh???!!

Are you sure your using a diamond for that? I have used a diamond for months now and have not discovered that feature!! please provide further details as to what device you have and which country bought in etc.
interesting....
I think I know what he's talking about, which is he has MS Voice Command installed.
As far as I know, it isn't possible to change the voices on MSVC but if anyone can prove me wrong please do, as I'd love a different set of voices as well

He's talking about Voice Commander. When you receive an email / sms you can run it and say 'Read SMS' or 'Read Email' and it will read any unread emails /sms
Very handy, esp. when driving
I would also love to know how to change the voice though

Come on now, of course I know what freakin' phone I'm using. That's like asking someone if they know what kind of car they drive and if they are sure about it.
Here's what you do to enable it:
Settings>Voice Command>
Check 'Enabled'
Check 'Messaging', 'Status' & 'Phone' boxes
The go to 'Notifications' and check 'Announce notifications through device speaker or wired headset only'
[/LIST]
Those directions above will read out loud the person calling you when you get a call, the person who sent you a SMS and what the SMS says, will read to you any email including the sender and subject line, but not the email and will also notify you when your battery is gonna die.
Trust me, it's a major attention-getter when your phone reads a text message to you when it comes in and people around you are like wtf was that. Plus it's great if you are lying in bed or something and your phone is across the room...you can hear what the message says and whether or not it's worth getting out of bed for. :-D
But anyway, if anyone knows how to change the voice please respond. Thanks!
Voice Command isn't installed on all Diamonds as standard and as I stated, there is no way to change the voices, I have searched for this myself before with no luck.
cool!

This sounds like an excellent app! I tried locating it on my UK O2 spec diamond and could not find so if anyone has got a cab file please post. I will search google now and i'm sure i'll find it and post if no-one beats me to it.
Man i'm learning new sh!t about my phone everyday. Cheers guys i know i have not answered your question but you have helped me finding something new
nice one!
pretty sure you cant change the voice but i know there's a registry tweak to slow the voice down witch makes it easier to understand. I've just remembered I'm sure there's the tweak in Advance config hope this helps
yeah i have this enabled on my phone and its the best when your laying in bed and wonder if its worth looking at. I do wish it was a more sexier voice like sigourney weaver from planet earth, and a little slower would be nice. IT came stock on my sprint diamond fyi, im surprised other versions dont have it
I have a sprint diamond and mines only talks when someone sends me a text message marked urgent and thats it. I have all the tabs checked on VC in the settings menu. am I missing somthing?

You don't have it setup correctly, that's why.
Go into Voice Command and do this:
- Check all the boxes you want to use this service. (Phone, Messaging, Status, Etc.)
- Highlight 'Messaging' then click on 'Options' button then UNCHECK 'High Priority Messages Only' and CHECK 'Announce New Messages'. Do the same steps for others like 'Phone' and 'Status' to change it's options. Make sure you highlight it first.

Request: Any dialer program for blind person?

I got this ATT tilt one month ago. And want to set it up for one relative who is nearly blind but not deaf. So I am looking for a dialer program that can read any number key being pressed (e.g. one for 1) and repeat (pronounce) the whole number (e.g. 18006543210) when the call key is pressed. If the program can also read out the number that called in, then it will be perfect.
I guess these may not be hard for experienced programmer. Probably changing some sound files (.wav) may have this work. But I'm a newbie who know very little about programming for mobile phones.
If you know any solution, please let me know. Thanks a lot.
well...
I just did a software called DTMF Dialer, that does not do the same, but I guess I could hack it to dial the real number and say the numbers as confirmation, I am not a super duper C# coder but I think I can do it, if you are interested im me.
Microsoft Voice command is no good? One can simply call out the numbers to dial and it'll ask for confirmation.

I agree with telegraph. Ms Voice command reads out the numbers as a confirmation, it also announces who is calling when a call is comming in.
For anyone who might be interested take a look at the link below. ATT is offering a deal for Mobile Speak to assist people with visual impairments for $89. The program usually costs a LOT more, so it is a great deal. Funny that I have not been able to find information on this on ATTs site...

I do not whether this wil help- I use Sony Ericsson p990i - with it and P1 - one can dial by pressing the bluetooth button and say the contact's name of-course your sister should record it first (you must help her with that). The other positive thing is if a call comes in and it is in the contacts - then the caller/recorded name will be played back. I am also trying to help a blind guy - [email protected]

Text-to-speech (TTS) SMS Reader (like Blue&Me®)

Hi, Folks,
I'm searching for a software to read the incoming SMS like the Blue&Me® by Fiat/Microsoft do.
I've found this app (TellMeText 1.1.0), but it has only one language (US English), and the language file is compiled with the executable app.
Anyone knows a app to do this function and a way to use the Gabriela Voice (Pt-BR) from iGo or something like this?
Thanks in advanced
If you have Microsoft Voice Command (MSVC) on your phone, you can set it to read incomming text messages, voice announce who is calling, and more Just be sure you really want it to do that before you turn it on.. It can be embarassing when someone TXT's you something questionable when you are in line at the bank or something... There is a feature where it will onyl read it when you have a bluetooth headset connection.. that is what I personally do...
I agree with Teej. I used the free/busy toggle cab to work around this. If I am not at work or somewhere I wouldn't want certain messages read aloud, I leave it free. If at work, I set it to busy. MSVC worked very well for me.
yes, MSVC is good, but reads the msg soooooo fast that you can berly understand what is happening. and the MSVC voice is sooo ennoying.anyway to fix it?

I haven't used it in a while since I am flashing roms constantly, but I know there is a registry hack where you can slow it down. Just Google it or search here. You can also edit voice recognition so that it is easier for it to pick up what you are say. Its a nice program, just very picky about installation and stuff so people don't like to always deal with it.
i just searched it, didnt find anything. prob didnt type the right info in search.
Is it any trouble if you can guide me ot the right path( regarding slowing the voice and voice recognition)
Appreciate it tilt4life2
this in an idea I like the sound of. Have you looked at the complete MSVC guide on this forum? It may hold a referance to the slowing down of the voices. Im guessing searching MSVC guide should find it or it may be linked in the Kaiser Wiki. Good Luck!
There is also TellMeText by Blondiesoft here and it's totally freeware:
http://www.blondiesoft.com/software/mobile/TellMeText/
It even announces the message before your notification goes off with its regular message tone.

Perhaps it has something to do with the threaded sms? I'm not sure. All I know is that it works fine on my TyTN II with WM6.0. In any event, I have decided to go with voice command instead.

Yes! the Kaiser Tweaks cab has the voice command settings in it. It's generically set to 4. Higher settings speeds the chick up, and lower settings slows her down.
Hope this helps.
You can search for Kaiser Tweaks in here to get the cab.
Cheers!

To change the voice's speed:
Go to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Speech\Voices"
Change the value of "DefaultTTSRate" from between 1 (slowest) and 10 (fastest). Default is 4. Experiment to discover what is right for you.
