MS Voice Command setup failure

Hey Guys
I just purchased and downloaded MS Voice Command 1.60 M2M and every time i try to install it I get the following error at the very end of the install:
"An unrecoverable error occurred in setup. Reset the device and try again."
It does seem to install it but nothing of MS VC works.
Having done a forum search I couldnt see any ideas so, i'm here asking for your help
Any ideas?
If I remember correctly, i'm running the Diamond TLR build ... :/

just tried SK-Tools to delete the old version and resinstall direct from the CAB file .... no luck.

Hi,
can you tell me your EXACTLY version of VC.
On some versions you'll need to change some files.

Hey mate
VoiceCommand_english_intl.exe
Microsoft Voice Command UK PPC 1.60 for M2M
Got it from Handago or something like that today
If I need new files, any idea where I might get them from?
Bit cheesed to be honest, I've bought this software, paid for it and it don't work.

OK,
to get the exact version (1.60.xxxx.x) go to Start -> Settings -> Voice Command. At the right side you see "v1.60.xxxx.x". The x's are the exact version.
VC 1.6 have problems to work since Windows Mobile 6.x. I've made a CAB for the "normal" Touch a few months ago. With this patch I get it also to work on my Diamond.
I use an extremly old version of VC (1.60.4622.0). Perhaps it also works on your version.
What you have to do:
- Intall your VC
- Ignore the error message
- DEactivate VC (Start -> Settings -> Voice Command -> uncheck "activated")
- Install my CAB (you have to copy it first to the Phone)
- Activate VC again

Let me know, if it works

Thats the version that was sold to me earlier.... why are these online shops selling such old versions????
Will try your cab now.... brb

Nope..... thanks for your cab but still nothing .... just hold down button 1/left upside down phone and "dink".
Thats it.

Ahhh,
OK. These "old" version don't assign a key of Diamond to VC. Try to assign it manually in Settings. I use it only with my BT-headset for that. So I didn't assign a hardware key to VC.
Tell me if it works. If it's so, I'll make a new CAB with key assignment to the left (phone up) key.

thats the thing mate. The ONLY key I have assignable in Buttons is key 1 which im assuming is the phone up/left key? As it is, i've assigned this to VC and I only get a "dink" when I hold it down.
edit: seriously .... no other buttons are listed in that screen just button 1

The Diamond has ONLY this one assignable (for long press). The "dink" is OK. Did you try to say something like "help" in the phone? Did it answer your "help" with an explanation of how to use VC?

yeah, tried "help" ... nothing.
I know its not working as on my G900 and tytn before that, a little microphone icon would appear in the bar at the top - its not appearing here.

Hm,
i've tried it now also. There ist no icon... And also no reaction :-(
I never tried it with a hardware button since now. I'll try to get an answer for that. Why does it work (for me) over BT, but not on HW-key...
I'll make some tests, but not more today (tomorrow at 5 a.m. I must get up).
Tell you then my solution, if I get one ;-)

Nah, thats great mate Thank you very much for trying today - really appreciate it
Enjoy tomorrow and I look forward to any ideas you may have

Hi,
I didn't forget you. I came home about 20 minutes ago. And I'm not realy able to think at the moment...
Is it for you OK to get (if I find one) an answer tomorrow?
Sorry for that...

mate
you are not under contract, you are here on your own free will
You help when you like and i thank you for ANY help you can provide, even if its next year!

Hi
I have the exact same problem so im also listening intensely for a solution

Hey Deeds
a few wise people are looking in to this for us. So far, we've tried a custom cab to fix it and also downloading the latest frame work from MS. Sadly, neither have worked.
You can follow the updates, questions and ideas in this thread

great thanks monty!
edit:
ive been trying for a couple of days now, with the same errror message as you.
ive also tried the patch linked to in another thread but also with no succes
and i too get the same ''dink'' sound even though i have mapped the button to VC instead of the default setting.
but it seems that this is the right place for answers so i guess i will just have to be patient

what rom are you using? I currently have the Diamond TLR, are you on a standard HTC or cooked?
and yes, if anyone in the world can solve it, this is the place they will be ... fingers crossed!

using
Rom: 1.93.403.2 danish
not really sure what cooked means ?

Android with HTC Sense for the vogue.

If your looking for Android with SenseUI for your Vogue then search for vilords fixed Tattoo build or jamezelles senseHero/senseTattoo builds. I have retired my vogue since I now own a HTC Hero. Thanks for everyone who contributed too and tested my android builds. Running android on the vogue has been a great experience.
Link to older/misc builds. Mostly older sdcard based squashfs builds. Some there are some jems in there and some oddities.
Thread and downloads for senseHero: The last sense build from me. Old style harret/squashfs.
default.txt parameters for tattoo/donut:
Code:
mddi.width=240 mddi.height=320 lcd.density=120
default.txt parameters for hero/magic htc sense ui and htc rogers builds
Code:
mddi.width=320 mddi.height=480 lcd.density=160

I keep getting errors for everithing! not even the menu starts.. or make a call.. just errrors.. Sorry... Sorry lbah blah .. >_<

It works for me. I've been testing this build longer than anybody else and it runs fine for me with the clock, calender, and weather widgets running along with one or two programs open and animations turned on and it's smooth for me. This is a testing build and if your running a lot of programs and widgets then there are going to be lags and error messages. Most of the error messages are usually that the system is taking to long to respond and it will ask you to wait or force close. This is because your running a mobile os meant for a phone with higher specs it's going to run slower on the vogue. With help from vilord and mssmision I've tried to make this build as fast as possible. Android expects certain tasks to be executed in a certain time frame. If something takes longer than expected android will ask you if you want to force close the process or wait for it to complete. I run this build on a verizon branded vogue. Others have reported that it runs great on their vogues too and a couple others report that it runs slow. Also make sure you are using all my files and followed the directions at the top of the thread. Without any more information I can't be of any help. Thanks for testing my build.

is this port only for HTC vogue or can int run on other HTC devices like the Topaz ...?

when are you gonna release the full build your testing? i watched your video and got me very interested in trying android. couple of questions tho, do i have to erase my sd card or just have plenty of space on there for it to work? also, how do i edit the default.txt file? this is my first time here or even trying this so im a lil lost. much help would be appreciated

is there any chance it would work on HTC Touch Pro2? I try and it is freezing as soon as I Run, I see Go, Go, Go... and that's it :-(

Been waiting on this new one, hope you post it soon. Your last one's the best Hero build I've tried. Thanks for getting them posted.

I will definately switch to the Hero build but only once 320x428 resolution is supported... til then it's Mssmision Hero-Themed Cupcake for me... this release has super-potential but it simply hurts my eyes looking at squished/fuzzy icons all day...
Thanks Zenulator for all your hard work!

Update 8-5-09 12:13am est
If your coming here and your not using a vogue then your questions most likely won't get answered. Right now this works on most vogues and kaisers. I do not know if this works on any other device other than those and I am not going to be porting it over to anything else. If you want to try I suggest you ask in other forums specific to your phone.

just use the one from the 8-2-09 Hero zip then modify the following parameter to this: panel_type=3

THIS IS what my default.txt looks like, i put the number 3 in there, not sure if i put it in the right spot but when i click run, screen is white and flickering.
set RAMSIZE 0x08000000
set MTYPE 1667
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
#
# The following kernel parameters are useful
# [email protected] - The username used to connect to the network when dialing #777
# ppp.password - The password used to connect to the network when dialing #777
# ppp.nostart - Set ppp.nostart=1 to disable starting the ppp connection on boot
# msm_sdcc.msmsdcc_fmax - The maximum frequency (in Hz) used by the SD controller
# pm.sleep_mode - The mode used when the phone is off
# 0=Power Collapse Suspend, 1=Power Collapse, 2=Apps Sleep,
# 3=Slow Clock and Wait for Interrupt 4=Wait for Interrupt
# Default is 3, use 0 for best power savings
# board-htcvogue.panel_type - Panel type used to power the panel off and on
# 3 1=Hitachi 2=Topoly 3=Samsung
# clock-7x00.mddi - MDDI clock (try 0xa51 or 0xe2c)
# clock-7x00.ahb_div - Advanced Host Bus divider, default is 4
# 2 is faster but uses more power
# clock-7x00.a11 - ARM11 clock speed in MHz, best to leave this alone
# lcd.density - Defaults to 160, 128 shows more on screen
# vogue-ts.XMIN - xmin value for the touchscreen calibration. Also YMIN, XMAX, YMAX, PMIN, PMAX.
#
# Probably the only one of these you will need to change is the panel type, NZ Vogues seem to all have type 1
# US Sprint vogues usually have type 2 or 3 I think.
# Make sure you add these between the quotes on the following line and that your editor hasn't split the line up.
set cmdline "ppp.username= ppp.password= mddi.width=320 mddi.height=480 msm_sdcc.msmsdcc_fmax=32000000 pm.sleep_mode=0 board-htcvogue.panel_type=1 no_console_suspend"
boot

Nope, you put it in the wrong spot. All the lines that begin with a # are just comments, and don't actually do anything. in the line that begins with "set cmdline" you need to change it to have "board-htcvogue.panel_type=3" instead of the "1" that you have in there now.

Im so annoyed by all these people who cant read, its great you helped them, but if they had taken 10 seconds to read what the default.txt tells them then they would have figured this out a long time ago. It even says:

It doesnt get much clearer.

Make sure you didn't hit <ENTER> in the 'set cmdline' line. That needs to be one full line of text. Maybe paste the last few lines of your default.txt again if that isn't the case.

The scrolling Linux console doesn't take any longer on Hero than it does on Ion. It's once the GUI comes up that you need patience.

new texting keyboard for 240x320 myns vogue?

i do like the keyboard that it comes with, but my fingers are too big. i hit the "." when i mean to hit "space", and i hit other buttons when i dont mean to. i want something that will learn my keystrokes. my buddy was telling me about HTC_IME and clicker, but i cant seem to find the right files. i looked into a tatto build, and took the apk files, but they wont install. i get "this program can not install on this device" error
just seeing whats out there. i tried installing the 320x480 myns, but the screen doesnt line up right on anything for me.

I use the free ShapeWriter keyboard found in the Android Market.
Hope this helps.

If you want only the english language...you can ignure the steps with language... But you must change to 120 dpi and change the dialer (contacts.apk)....look here:
Htc ime... it´s a long way....
Start....:
Installation Instructions
1. Install both HTC_IME.apk and Clicker.apk.
2. Rename/remove the file /system/lib/libt9.so (I suggest renaming to libt9bk.so). You need root permissions to do this (the program Root Explorer works great.)
3. Menu -> Settings -> Locale & text. Enable 'Touch Input'.
4. Go to a text field and long-hold until a menu pops up.
5. Select 'Input Method' and then 'Touch Input'
1.1 Download the latest htc ime from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567294
or here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=661525
2.1 make the system root/write access to change the name of libt9
- open terminal
- type "su"
- type "mount -o remount,rw /system"
... and then I could rename the file w/ Root Explorer (must be root explorer..i think)
3.1 change the language: look here:
http://ostebaronen.dk/changing-htc_ime-language-to-danish/
a bit easier: change to htc ime...go to sms and long press on the input text...now a menu come and you can change....
go in a explorer to: data/data/com.htc.android.htcime/shared_prefs/com.htc.android.htcime_preferences.xml (now visible)--and copy it to sd card...
open the xml and change the language code (like in the link)....copy it over the old one....
please do not change the lang setting in text input settings...(you don´t see a lang in this box now)
i think it was all
edit: for the correct view: change to 120 dpi....and take my corrected dialer:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=676102
Now it´s all...i hope

Super easy, you can get the HTC keyboard in 240x320.
Just follow the instructions,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=661525
You will need to d/l the two files and install root explorer.

With kind regards..Alex

personally i like the HTC keyboard because i feel the text prediction better because of the clicker.apk includes a calibration app and it seems to adapt to me alot fast than other keyboards.
i also like that if i want to use a number or symbol i can just long hold on a key instead of having to switch to a secondary menu all the time
also staticchmbr i feel like i know you from somewhere?

That's your problem. You have a 240x320 hardware screen on the Vogue, and you are trying to use a resolution that it is not meant for. I do not understand why people think they can do this, and still expect things to function. First of all, you do not NEED the extra resolution, I run about 20 games and 15 apps on my phone, of all different sources, and 240x320 is fine. Secondly, use LCD density "113", just change the build.prop file before flashing NAND, and you are good to go. I have zero issues at all, with any apps.
-C

i AM running the 240x320, but tried the 320x480 just in case that was the issue. finally got it installed, but everytime i run the calibration it says" SORRY, the application has stopped unexpectedly. please try again".. maybe i just dont have the right file? i got it from another topic on here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=661525&page=5

Can someone please tell me what is wrong with the default Android keyboard? I am 6'7" tall, and my hands are HUGE. My pinky is bigger than my wife's thumb, and I actually text with MY thumb, just fine, which is friggin huge, and I have no issues.
I am just baffled, because I see these 'alternate keyboard' threads all the time, so obviously there must be an issue for some ppl with the keyboard, but I guess for once it is not for us fat-fingers folks. Is it hard to use for small fingers maybe? I am so curious about this as the Android keyboard is such a breeze for me to use.

It's faster too

Yeah, I love the speed of the default keyboard. I've tried Betterkeyboard, and all those, Shapewriter, I think just about every one, and while some are cool, and hold potential, for me none compare to the speed of input in the default. I can type pretty damn fast with the default.
The only keyboard I can see being significantly better is Touchpal. If you remember it from Winmo, it was a FAST and efficient keyboard. But the developer keeps promising a release date, and renigging on it. If you feel like a laugh, go check out the forums:

Planning on Developing applications for windows mobile (not wp7)

Hi
I decided i will try and develop some applications, to give something back to the community for all the help they have given me over the past year.
So any suggestions for apps?

battery time remaining

isn't there an app for that already?

something like a .cab to do this?
something that we can install that when we hit "ok" or "x" it will exit any app or process thats running.
so we dont have to stop things with a task manager that we thought we had stopped but they are still running in the back ground.
i know the option is in some task managers but something small just for this problem will save having to have two task manaers installed the default one and the other one to get the "ok" or "x" to close option.

virtual d-pad for playing game

Its a good idea but you rould be able to press 2 buttons on screen at once. No multitouch.

how about copy and paste ?
how about having copy and paste work in everything instead of just the apps that support it?
so when ever you come across any text input or menu u can hold the stylus down 4 a few seconds and get a copy,cut, paste,delete etc.
just like the inbuilt windows menu.
very handy for cross app text input!

Rebooting from a keyboard

Hello to one and all,
I have not long found out that I can reboot my Hannspree tablet using my Bleutooth keyboard using the old DOS/Windos9x style CTRL+ALT+DEL
This was whilst I was using a version of Limbo to set up a dos/windows hard drive via the dos command FDISK, after setting the drive up the program says that you need to reboot the computer in order to use the new partition. So I did the CTRL+ALT+DEL bit and was amazed to find out that my tablet rebooted instead cool huh. don't know if it will work for anyone else but kinda fun to know it can be done.

Good to know, gonna try it.

I've noticed this last weak. I'm not sure if this was done on purpose or if it's a bug of some sort.
This happens ANYWHERE on the actual OS. Try CTRL+ ALT + DEL on the homescreen.
