Hello Everyone,
I don't know if anything like this is already available, but I'd love to have something which speaks the time to me so that I don't have to get my phone out of my pocket when I have the headset on.
I get so frustrated having to keep getting my phone out, especially when listening to music.
It would be great if it listened for a particular HW button key press or something.
Thanks,
Daveraven

SPOKEN TIME IS FOR BLIND PEOPLE! YOU ARE LUCKY YOU CAN SEE THE CLOCK SO SEE IT!!

OK fine, I think someone should make this application for blind people.
How can you say "I am disappointed how lazy people are nowadays" ?
This is a forum about Pocket PCs, and half of the threads are about applications and things to save time/hassle. Will you visit all the other threads about great applications and complain about how lazy people are?
Daveraven
P.S. I noticed that you're too lazy to write the word 'people' so you used 'ppl' instead... how hypocritical of you!
....more than spoken time is the Spoken Caller Name... with loquendo tts would be GREAT... but i think anyone has the skill here.... or the time.
I've heard it on a nokia and it's really cool (also for 1 ring-missed calls)
already in voice command
correct me if I'm wrong, but voice command does exactly this. Just press the button on your headset, (or the assigned button on the diamond itself) to activate voice command, then it beeps. Then you say, "what time is it" Then the lovely computer voice tells you. easy as pie.
I don't seem to have Voice Command, whatever that is...
You can read about it here -
http://www.twoinchview.com/124-microsoft-voice-command-16-reviewed
there is Cyberon (no idea on spelling) and Microsoft Voice Commander, Dutty does two versions of his ROMs, one with C one with M.
Excellent - thanks everyone!
I suppose asking for the time instead of pressing a button would be sufficient!

....cyberon voice command not avaiable in italian

Yep you are correct. This thread is now closed because the original request has been met and could have been met by performing a simple search.
Like i said before, my previous phone (magician) was a perfect little phone.
I just bought a jade, and there are a few thing i wanted to ask you guys regarding this new phone and OS.
For instance, when smsing, some contacts have more than 2 numbers. How can i choose one of those numbers? Only the 1st one shows up. I have to go to contacts and choose the number i want to use? its just stupid and time wasting....
Also, my girlfriends contact name is separated by a SPACE. For example A NAME. The phone doesnt recognize this contact at all. when i press A, it shows all the contacts with A, except hers. If i press space, it inputs the contact above. its just annoying...
Another thing, when i start a conversation, the screen goes out. Unlike the iphone, with its motion sensor, for the screen to go back on i need to press the on/off button. It doesnt make any sense!
It my fist time with this OS. Maybe its just me, but i'm not that pleased with how it works.
If anyone cares to explain, i'd be more than happy.
Thanks.
100 people read this and no one corrected me.
I guess its actually an equipment issue rather than owner misuse.

Solution is simple.. break up and find a girlfriend that her contact name is NOT separated by a SPACE.
Easy and convenient.
DUDE!!!!! why didn't i think of that before?!
Thanks for the useful input.
Keep'em coming!
Another thing I hate (i'm a lover, not a hater, but this phone is really getting on my nerves )
The battery. Soon after an alert about the battery level, the battery doesnt last a call.

Oh, ok! Now i got it.
If you push the button on the microphone which comes with the X1, it answers a call. If you push it twice it seems to call the last person you called.
Is there a way to use this button to invoke the Voice Command monitor?
Thanks
I found it easier just to re-direct the Soft Buttons!!
Left for Voice Command, Right for Comm Manager
Stuart
Yep, that's exactly what I have. Best set-up by far.
But when in the car, it would be easier to use the mic button, so I'd like to double up on Voice Command access.
So.. no-one else has managed this either?

Take a look at here:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\VoiceCommand]
"Path"="\\Windows\\<what ever program>.exe"
"VoiceCmdEnable"=dword:0
"LaunchAPEnable"=dword:1
"VoiceCmdDuration"=dword:a
I am going to include Cyberon VC 2.0 in my rom but it will be Cantonese since it's my native language.
So, to recap the request was for a way to use the Microphone button as the Voice Command button...

What is this goint to change? I searched the registry for a way to use th mic-headset-button as a remote for my X1...which means to map a button, application, etc to it. Is this the way to do so?

Beside the "push once', and "double push", a "push & hold" action will call this exe such as Voice commander in my example.

But this doesn't have anything to do with the microphone button.
Do you read? Of course it does if you are talking about the button in the pic
If you "hold" the button, yr X1 will call the exe program specified in this registry. X1 stock rom does not comes w/ any VC program and you have to install one yrself. Of course, if you put in other program like Core player, it will be start if you hold the button.

pearls before swine mate....
there are some new members on here lately who need to learn that when a more ePerienced member gives them advice they arent doing it because they like the sound of their own voice
at45 theres a good reason why people keep saying read and search, and quite a lot of it is to do with the attitude you've shown here.here.
Thanks guys!!!
I've been looking for this for quite a while. Really Thanks! Now just need to try to map this button as next rack in Mortplayer...If i found the way, I'll post it here!
Wait, I'm being criticised for being rude and not searching?

Firstly, where have I been rude? Secondly, this has nothing to do with searching. I would challenge you to find a single thread on this subject anywhere else on the whole internet, started before this one. If you're going to criticise at least make some of the criticism partially relevant.
Jackleung, thanks for the solution, but in response to your manner, if you post an arbitrary reg key (a key which has no logical connection to the described solution) and which doesn't work if the instructions are followed (due to the wrong syntax), you should expect for that solution to be met with scepticism.
Coming bach to the original topic:
I wrote a script (thanks, Mort!) that enebles the tap&hold (2-3sec) of the Microphone Button to jump to the next track in Mortplayer (if it is running).
Just copy the two files attached to the \Windows\ directory and change the Registry entry as descibed in Post #5 to
Registry said:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\VoiceCommand\Path = "\Windows\MP-NT.exe"

Thats it. Run Mortplayer and give it a try, works perfect for me!
Edit: script is working!

Hey, thanks a lot!
It seems I will install MortPlayer on my X1. Or is there a possibility to do the same with the media panel?
PS: In the script you write "not yet working". Is that the correct file?

Can you tell me where in the settings you change soft buttons. Is it Settings/Buttons? I am not sure what the 6 buttons represent. I have searched for an explanation but haven't found one.
Thanks

There are two different ways for the X1, to remap the soft keys. One is via the button settings in the windows settings, which is a global override which causes the buttons not to behave as softkeys anymore, and the other is via registry setting (have a look into the Wiki here), that maps specific applications to the softkeys while in today view - this way, the softkeys stay available in all other applications. I personally prefer the last approuch, because I don't like fingerprints on my screen.

oops, corrected now I got a cab, thanks to AlejandroFefe of ppc-welt.info!
No, this only works with mortplayer as you need the possibility to change the track via an exe file or at least an exe with a parameter (like in my script)...If you find a way to do this with the media panel (which i doubt you will ) we could have it...otherwise not.

other remote controle
hi derliebewolf,
is ist possible to parse the keypress of other remotes ? the remote of a nokia n95 would be perfect ! did you write the mp-nt.exe ? how did you manage to parse the keypress of the stock headset.

Even though it seems that no one else has this problem or wants it resolved, I CANNOT stop the Capitalization of the First Letter when typing mgs or emails!
And of course I have unchecked the setting! Tried all kinds of check/uncheck settings in Input, etc. !
So the last resort is the Registry. Does anybody know where I can find this key that controls Capitalization?
Thanks
I have the 'new' Generic UK R2 ( and did not have this problem with R1 -but that had a different Customization Software ID though!-)
I´m interested in a solution too! Unchecking the settings seems to have an effect on the software keyboards only...
settings>input>keyboard>options
untick the capitalize XXXXXX
eh?
What exactly is the problem? You don't want it to auto capitalize the first letter after a full stop? I seem to be having the opposite problem, mine rarely capitalizes when I want it to after a full stop.

I've looked for a solution for this for many years, started with windows mobile 2003. You should believe that it could be fixed like altezza says, but he has not tried this himself because that choice under 'settings>input>keyboard>options' has never worked. A bug for how many years ..?
I find it very useful to choose by myself if I want a capital letter or not. Especially since we at least in Norway writes most abbreviations with a dot. Many folks do that, dont they?
A bit frustrating that the next word then is capitalized, i.e. Like this.
This Capitalizing or Not must be controlled by registry. Come on, somebody must know which key it is....!
If it would capitalize after a 'dot', okay but it capitalizes the beginning of a new line, no matter what!
And again for some that don't read my entire post: YES I have tried the settings check/uncheck... duh!
So again, this auto capitalizing at beginning of a new line has to stop.
I would not complain if auto cap at beginning of new sentence (dot/period) but this crap is unacceptable. I don't understand why nobody else finds a solution, expecially since this is there for quite a while.
Okay, kindly, somebody, what is that Registry Key?
So NO ONE knows the Registry Key? Come on, people here disect the ROM but no knowldge about this little key?
As per laaban message, since 2005 he's been looking for a solution. If you're 100% certain you can find it in the registery, why haven't you tried?
I think it is not the keyboard setting which controls the capitalizing...it is the programm you write with! For example: Writing a new SMS will capitalize the first letter but writing in PIGEON or OPERA doesn´t! Or what dou you guys think?
Pretty sure it's related to Pocket Office, something like Auto Correct, but my attempts at unticking boxes still made it happen.
I just do a Ctrl+Z to undo the "correction".
The settings menü under settings-> keyboard->options-> is only for the windows mobile notes program! There is still no solution for the other programs!
Have had no joy trying to find a solution to this...
I have disabled screen lock so currently all keys wake screen. I would like to change this so only the power button wakes the screen....help please.
Thanks

If you could tell me anything about their charges, then I could tell you....
was browsing their site and didn't find it.....
you can simply pm me about it
honestly no idea where that link came from, sorry
honestly someone must have a solution to this, it must be bugging people....
Bumping indeed, wanting this solution also
I'd like to know this as well... Also the answer button is a waste of space. Why would anyone need it if theoretically it shouldn't be possible to answer a call without finger slide. Sometimes I answer calls by mistake when removing the device from the pouch...
I think this is one of the reasons for my battery depletion. Every time I pull my HD2 out of my pocket, the screen is always on...
This really needs a solution
When taking the phone out of my pocket I have seen it in Opera, other apps and worst of all I heard my pocket talking to me on Monday - pulled my phone out and I had called someone who had been called by me listening to everything I was saying!
As I said this really needs a solution ASAP if anyone can help...

For now you might be better of by using Lock Screen, it can still turn on your phone with any hardkey. But atleast the screen itself is locked so you can't call someone, or start any programs.
I understand lock screen is an option but the simplicity of a one click lock/unlock makes the phone that much quicker to get into and better to use....
we just need a way to disable the other 4 buttons (expect power) from waking the device....
bump...anyone
I would like to know as well.
Also, I want the "answer" and "hang up" hard keys disabled when I receive a call. This made me pickup or ignore call which I did not want to pickup/ignore.
Only solution would be a custom rom with device lock/button lock coocked in it.

Well PocketShield is halfway there. it disables the hangup button nicely, but I can still push the hard pickup button.
