"Showing 2 Found" ? Voice Command Response

Since installing the "fixed" version of Voice Command 1.6, which provides for Caller ID Announce, I have gotten this weird, almost unintelligible response from the Voice Command lady when I say "Call _____", for many of my contacts - I thought it was a different language at first, because she spoke so fast - it sounded like "Shelly to fawn" spoken really fast - weird, because most of the Voice Command responses are reasonably slow and articulate. I finally figured out that she is saying "Showing 2 Found", because she finds the named contact in the main memory and in the SIM contacts.
I have SIM contacts hidden, they don't show when I access Contacts, so I don't understand why Voice Command ("fixed") insists on accessing them. Before I installed the "fix", I used the standard Voice Command and Caller ID v1.05 by Bad Sector, and this did not occur.
Has anyone else experienced this anomaly?

SIM Contacts hidden in Contacts, but Voice Command still sees them, causing confusion
I posted this 5 days ago, and not a single reply. Wow.
Similar thread in Wizard forum - apparently this is an issue with WM6 and Voice Command:

I just tried to duplicate this and got the following...
When I said, "Call Joe Smith" and that person is on both sim card and contacts it will say, "Showing two (or more) found, call this Joe Smith?"
If I said no, it then put me into contacts and asked, "call Joe Smith at home or mobile?" So this is not a impossible situation but definitely a pain in the ass.
However, you are right, this is definitely something weird with WM6. I just never noticed it before. I actually occasionally switch phones so deleting #;s off the SIM really isn't an option for me.
Let's see what the real geniuses can figure out.

I am having this same problem on AT&T Tilt. SIM contacts are hidden, don't show in Contacts, but when I say "Call xxx", Voice Command says "Showing 2 Found" (says it so quickly that it took me dozens of listens to figure out what was being said - sounded like "Shelly2Fawn" or some other language when I first heard it.
I know I can delete all contacts on SIM and this issue will go away, but I'd like to have contacts on SIM, because I have a cheap backup phone that I want to be able to use PRN, e.g. go to beach, or in adverse weather situation.

Sounds more like, to me, "please answer or not at home" through my Blueant Z9 via my Tilt when I get an incoming call. FWIW, no cooked ROMs, only the latest ATT ROM.

Duplicate contacts are what causes problem

I'm pretty sure she says "showing 2 found". This only happens if there is a duplicate in Contacts or on the SIM card.

I have a Tilt, and this also happens when I have multiple numbers in a single contact. I'll hear "Showing two found, call ***** at work/home/mobile?" and then a mic prompt (waiting for a yes or no).
I've also heard "Showing three found," but it's kind of rare... I guess most people that need three phone numbers are too intense for me to want to call.

to change the speed of Voice Command perform the following:
1. Start up your Registry Editor program.
2. Find the following:
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Speech\Voices
3. Change the DefaultTTSRate string/value:
- 4 (default)
4. Increasing the number will increase the speed of the voice, while decreasing the number will slow it.
Then with your contacts, just rename them so you know who they are - example "Karen Jones" change to "Karen Work Jones".
Hope this helps you

Show your Caller-ID depending on categorie

Hi,
Does somebody know if it is possible to show your outgoing Caller-ID per category?
I know the defaults options for Caller-ID are "all, none, contacts only".
If it is possible to set this per category, has somebody already seen a piece of software which handles this?
I have already looked around in the forum and on Google, but couldn't find something like that.
Some phrase in Google told it could be done with Vito QuickContacts, I downloaded it but did not find such option, maybe it was for other phones only...
Thanks.

I would also like to know this, it would be Veeeery helpful

The "contacts only" option is not working for me, it's the same like "no one". I would like to see at least that option working.
But, Caller ID is a feature from a mobile operator, and honestly I can't see how one can control it via software.

Settings - click on blue Phone icon
select Services tab
select Caller ID
Click Get Settings
wait....
then shows options:-
Everone,
No one,
Only to Contacts
probably the best you can do

You could write your own program to handle contacts for you, and include setting such as these

ok, would somebody provide that program for some of us, not programming saavy.

Me image in Messaging app

Right so I know this question has been asked many times before, but none of the answers I find work for me.
Problem: is that in the messaging app (sms) there is no picture of "Me". Its just a grey rectangle with a white border.
Things I've tried:
Pressing the grey box to bring up menu: Pressing the box does nothing other the simply changing the border color from white to orange.
Clicking menu >> more >> add contact: no such option is available for me
Add myself as a contact in the phonebook: Done this with my number with and without country code and with email.
Add a picture to my profile in GTalk ('Talk'): I've had a picture there for ages, same one as was set on my google account online before I even got this phone. No luck here
I think that's all ive tried, but I may be forgeting something.
Possible explenations:

I have tested it, and that "unknown" is the cause of greyed out picture.
I have 2 sim cards, one is 3UK, and the other one is one2free from Hong Kong. The phone recognises the 3UK phone number but not the one2free (it shows up as unknown).
I have both numbers under the same contact with a avatar / picture.
Nexus one shows up profile pics correctly with my 3UK sim card plugged in, but it greyed out all those pictures when I've plugged in the one2free sim card.
FYI all those messages were sent and received on the one2free (hk) number.
I know (at least in Hong Kong) there are a lot of carriers who don't put the phone number in SIM cards. It wasn't a big problem until now. :/ I wonder if there will be a solution addressing this problem.

What burnduck is refering to is in 'Settings>>About Phone>>Status>>My phone number'. This slot just says 'Unknown', has been this way in 2.1 as well.
All in all that seems like a plausible answer untill Rusty commented the following:

For the record in 'Settings>>Location & security>>Set up SIM card lock' the option to 'Lock SIM card' on/off does not work for me either. I can change the sim pin, but not disable it entirely.
Im wondering if some1 has any clever suggestions or work-arounds I can try. Im using a stock n1 with froyo 2.2. Any help would be greatly apprechiated.
This has now been solved! The problem is that your phone number is not stored in your sim. You need to put your sim in a phone that allows you to alter you "personal phone number". Its usually a setting found under 'special numbers' then something like 'my phone number'. Many people have been using their old phones to do this, some have used iphone. But this has been confirmed to work! Good luck all!

I also have this issue. only 1 SIM card.

long press the greyed out pic in sms app then add to contacts.
then it will cgo to contacts page at the top just click add to contacts. dont change name or add number.
once added go to contacts select the contact, your number, and add a photo.

I'm having the same issues as described by the OP. Tried everything but still no picture.
I've sent a mail to my provider asking whether it is possible to remotely update my simcard information.

I originally tested going into the messaging app then into an existing conversation between me and some1 else on my contact list. Long pressing the grey pic then did nothing.
Now I just deleted myself and then sent an sms to myself. In this conversation with myself I now have 'Me' and 'my number(in numbers of course)'. I can't do anything with Me, but I can add 'my number' to my contact list as myself with my number and email. But still wont do anything to 'Me'.
Confusing but hopefully u understand.

yeah, same here, think it has to do with the sim card. which is weird,why dont it just use the google pic instead of using something connected to the sim. weird.

Yeah, I agree. Really strange. I mean the fact that you have to manually add yourself and your number in your own phone book is just kind of funky in my opinion.

Well I wouldn't say its too funky, adding myself to the phonebook is something I've been doing, so that I can trade contact with others, but I think google could have gone with an easier option which is to use the picture of the google accounts. After all, its associated with the phone isn't it?

Yeah, exactly the point I was trying to make.

i added my phone number to my google voice contact number, then i dragged a photo of myself onto the sd card, then edited my contact picture to use that photo. a long drawn out work around, but now it isn't blank at least.
i agree, it's a little stupid that it doesn't just grab your photo from either google or facebook, seeing as how it's totally synced up with those.

Can't Voice Dial with "Uconnect" (2014 Chrysler System - Jeep)

Would anyone have any idea why I can't Voice Dial when paired with my new Jeep.
The phone works fine with the Jeep.
I can see all the connects in the Jeep. I can click on any and it connects fine.
All other Voice Activated things work (Nav, Music etc.)
When I try to Dial by Voice it says "Your Favorites List is Empty".
I tried adding contacts to the Favorites on the Phone and on the Jeep and both work if I use the Respective Touch Screen.
I don't know why it's restricted to Favorites in the first place.
I do have several accounts on the phone (Exchange - Work [unsecured], gmail, Hotmail etc.) Only Work Exchange has any contacts. So maybe the Voice Dial is looking in the wrong "account". No idea how to fix it though.
I might wipe it, and just manually add a few gmail contacts and see if that works. It's confused about something.
But everything else works fine.

For that system, make sure you are attempting to use the phone button to activate the VR for phone commands, instead of the general purpose VR button that gets used for tasks unrelated to the phone.

Hmmm,
I'm using the middle VR button on the steering wheel (See attached image). What button should I use?
If I say "Help" after hitting the VR button it says I can say "Call John Smith Mobile" along with Play Artist, Etc.
Maybe you are on to something though.

Ugh, that was it !!
I Pushed the Phone Button instead and it worked perfectly.
Weird that Help said I could say Call and the Error I got. But I'm happy now.
Thanks a million !!
Dealer didn't know either !!

How-To Hear Missed Call and Unread Text Message Reminder on Google Home

**Updated 5/27/2017**
After installing this profile GH will alert you of missed calls and unread text messages, including the name or ph# of the caller or sender, every 5 minutes.
1. Download and install Tasker and sign up and download AutoCast BETA (you will need the full paid version). Also download the Missed_Call_Reminder.prf.xml and Unread_Message_Reminder.prf.xml
2. Once you have received the AutoCast BETA update via the Play Store, open the app, select "Manage Cast Devices," press +, then select your Google Home.
3. Place the Missed Call and Unread Message Reminder xml files from Step 1 into the Tasker/profiles folder (if the folder does not exist, create it). Open Tasker, long-press "Profiles," select "Import," then import the xml files.
4. Back-out of Tasker to save the profile. Done!
Google Home will now automatically remind you of missed calls and unread text messages every 2 minutes until the notifications are cleared from your phone (you can disable by setting your phone to silent). Enjoy!
**Important**
- GH must be connected to the same wifi network as your phone.
- Turn off battery optimization for Tasker and AutoCast or your device may disable these apps when idle.
- Also recommended to set "Use Reliable Alarms" to "Always" under Tasker's Settings/Preferences/Monitor.

Hmm, that indicates that the variable is empty.
Try rebooting your phone then calling yourself from a landline and see if that fixes the issue. Also, make certain that you have received the AutoCast BETA update from the PlayStore.

For some reason home is announcing calls I took and missed. And it won't stop saying it..I have to clear my call history for it to stop telling me who called. Any idea?

It's supposed to announce missed calls until you clear the missed call notification from your phone (I use another profile, which I haven't posted, to clear notifications via GH).
But, it should not notify when you actually answered a call. Does your phone display a missed call notification even when you answer? Try a reboot.

Yeah I clear notification and go into dialer and click on history to make sure. Yet it still does it.
Phone does not display notification even after I take a call. One thing I have noticed is autocast always says "casting now"
Is that normal?

The casting now notification is normal and seems to keep autocast reliable and not killed off by the system.
Try opening the missed call reminder profile in Tasker and see if it remains active, i.e. green text, even after you clear the notification.

Works great but when the number is announced , (I am in area code 410), it says 4billion 100 million and so on. How can I get it to just say 410 or 4, 1, 0.
Thanks so much

I just uploaded new files expanding the different ph# formats that the .xml file will recognize, e.g. +1 XXX-XXX-XXXX, XXXXXXXXXX, 1 XXX-XXX-XXXX. Not sure if this is the problem but maybe worth a try.
Otherwise let me know the format of the ph#'s that display on your phone for incoming calls.
