[Q] Robotic voice on Android...why? - HD2 General

Hey all. Yes, before any of you say ANYTHING, I know this has been asked before...many times. But with searching, I have not been able to find a definitive answer to my query. We all know that if you run Android on the stock 2.13 T-Mobile ROM that you will get the whole robot voice through the earpiece...but my question is WHY does this happen? I have read that it is something to do with some .dll's within Windows...which would make sense as to why some ROMs work with it but others wont...but how is WinMo messing with Android if HaRET unloads WinMo from RAM before it starts Android. Maybe my understanding of it is wrong, I do not know. Basically I want to know for my own knowledge as to why it happens, and maybe offer some assistance. If it is something as "simple" as a .dll conflict, then maybe there is a workaround for existing users of the 2.13/.14 ROMs. I am one of those people, and through my flashing of the HD2, have found 2.13 to pretty much be the fastest and most stable for my uses, but I would also like to use Android. Anyways, in short, if someone can point me to exactly why this happens, maybe I can help out. Thanks.

i hope to get answer n solution for tis oso..
all i nd is jus HSPL + new radio or i nd a new cooked rom too?
thankz~

What is the best radio to flash if im going with the superclay superHD2? I just one that i can flash easy and not hear the robotic voice anymore

I have used radio 2.12 and 2.14 with success. I have never experienced the robot voice. However I never used android with stock roms.
I'm using vbn droid rom (minimal install of winmo) along with Hyperdroid build 1.6. I've used superhd2 build also successfully.

not sure about the robot voice
not sure why the sound gets screwed up but......I know you can run the newer stock 3.14 leaked update and it will work with android and you can keep a fully stock rom on your phone and get android too.

Issues with installing Android 2.2 on my HD2

Hi everyone,
I need help with android on my HD2. I put on my HD2 the Android 2.2 OS but there is no sounds and calls have robot like sounds (can't even make out words that are spoken). I have been having the same problem no matter what I do and how many times I redo the installation process. I even installed HSPL3 and went from a 2.10 radio to a 2.08 radio still the problem persist. And yes i did tap on CLRCAD before taping on HaRET. Someone please help...
The Robot Voice is a known issue. However, some cooks have fixed the issue in their custom ROM's. Why don't you check them out.

x2.
certain rom+radio combinations are better than others in terms voice call quality. e.g., chucky rom+latest radio works good with mattc's froyo sense, miri's rom seems to work well with darkstone's builds, etc..
I went through most of the threads of there but in vain

You just have to experiment, or look around in user's signatures, and see what build combo's they are using.
i've tried this so many times to no avail, the sound is very low plus i get tke robot voice and after the second call it does not sound anymore. Also there are no ring tones, everything works but the audio. This is what I'm running:
Froyo Stone with sense, my radio is 2.10.50.26 everything is in the SD card, also how can I access the sd card? Thank you so much for any help you cab give me.
well ill give you my tip on how to resolve your problems. i did this to my phone and now i can run android FLAWLESSLY on my HD2.
1.go to tmobiles site and download the latest STOCK rom for your HD2.
2. run the program to install it so that you have the newest stock rom on your phone.
3. install HSPL 2.08 and MAKE SURE its HSPL and not SPL.
4.after installing that, install a custom WM rom of your choice(im using the WM bare bones by NRGZ28)
5.then install a new RADIO rom( i am using the Leo_RADIO_2.12.50.02_2)
6.download and install the ANDROID ROM of your choice(i am using MATTC's NeXus one 2.2 OTA operating system)
7. reboot after you finish installing the android and it should work great! i havent had any robot voices/SoD or screen freezes and i have been using it for 4 days now and i usually get about 12-14 hours of use out of a full charge.
let me know how that works!
This has been talked about MANY times already. Android on the HD 2 is kinda like a learning a new recipe, you have to try different things till you find something that works for you. Did you know there is a whole forum dedicated to android on the HD 2? Really there is It is HERE
It does not work with all ROMS. You have to find a ROM that is compatible with Android. Omega's latest ROM is compatible.
Hey man you are a life saver. Tried what you did and my HD2 is working. The only thing I have found is when I hook up my bluetooth headset it somehow corrupts everything and i have to reinstall the rom to get everthing else working. Thanks again

Few differences.
I have chuckyrom light and froyostone (8/7/2010) build.
Its a t-mobile phone.
When I had the 2.10 radio, the build froze constantly. I couldn't use it. As soon as I changed to the 2.12 radio mentioned above, I haven't had a problem since.
I'm going on nearly 2 weeks and it has performed flawlessly.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
same here
I have same issue with robot woice, just like from videoclip Black Eyed Peas
I think the combination one month old Duttys ROM and Foryostone2.2 Android image is the reason. Radio ROM is the latest. Therefore I think every chefs WM ROMs has to be modified to be compatible with currend Android port developement.
Also I have very fast music player, everything sounds like Smurfs and battery drain is very extrem.
But battery drain is common for every Android ports, as I can see at forum, so until this issue will be resloved it is just for fun not for the real usage I hope developers who spend a lot of time with porting will have luck with that soon

Robot Voice/no sound ....

Ok so i have been trolling forums to get this figured out and haven't got there. i am running the stock tmo rom and hard spl 2.08 radio 2.12.50 (was 2.10) downloaded hyperdroid v1.2 and ran it, booted into android and everything was perfect. installed jmz dual boot and it worked also. shut down the phone booted into windows for something cant remember what and now when i boot into android calls dont work, either cant hear anything or hear robo voice. iv tried everything searched in forums and re formated and re installed hyper but cant get it to go away, i really dont want to use a diff winmo rom cus i am not going to use it (plan to just use android) i did notice that when i first ran clrcad i sen somthing pop up but now when i run it from winmo nothing happens as well as jmz dual boot does not work to boot into android even after reinstalling both the app and hyper. my eyes hurt please shed some light...
Seems to be the consensus that the stock rom the reason for the robot voice. clcard does nothing when you press it, it does make the sound work in the android side. All the other things you have seem to be ok
Upgrade your WinMO for FIX
The only way to fix the sound and robot voice is to upgrade your ROM i'm using Energy's TMO Leo ROM by NRGZ28 and HyperDroidV1.2 and I have no sound problems or robot voice.... just upgrade your WM ROM

Honestly bro, don't know if my situation is any differnet than yours, but I also have a TMobile HD2, and the robot voice situation was resolved by flashing a differnet radio. Although I am using 2.12.50.02. (Same one as you maybe?)The only thing solved by flashing a different rom was sleep of death.
So i flashed the energy ROM and so far all is well, is there a way to set it up to auto load android? so i dont have to deal with winmo? i know i know but i dont have the money for a vibrant lol
Something strange happened....
Ok so I'm running FroyoStone V2 with Chuckydroid ROM on Radio 2.12... and I've not had robot voice. But then earlier today my friend called and...ROBO VOICE! So I rebooted and it was gone. Just a bit strange is all that it popped up at random.

Any way to make a stock 2.13 T-Mobile Rom that works with andriod?

I want just the stock 2.13 TMUS ROM with the proper audio drivers from 2.10 so I can get rid of the Robotic Voice. I'll even try cooking it myself if I can find out the right info and what kitchen to use. Thanks everyone for their hard work on ROM builds.
I'm trying to do the same thing too.
From what I get, you should use the 2.10 SYS packages (though you really only need some audio-related DLLs, but you might as well just use the whole SYS packages so you don't bother with tweaking) and use the 2.13 EXT Packages. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
I myself am trying to make a rom lighter than that, and have done so successfully to some level, however, I yet don't know how to 1. customize manilla to remove the tabs I don't want and 2. customize the build to determine the initial install (default start menu folders/apps etc).
Some insight would help.
I've looked at both these tutorials but none cover what i'm looking for, the irony is that whenever I ask, I'm directed by others to those tutorials....

Thank you. That's a lot more info than I was able to find searching. Hopefully there is someone who can offer even more insight.
Well I just made a 2.10 Rom with most the Stupid Transformers, and games that I don't even have on my sd card removed and a few apps. It seems to be fine. I really did like 2.13 Stock though, if I could get it to work with andriod.
I'm in the same boat I had a custom rom but I went back to the new stock t-mobile rom since it seem more stable and ow the Android calling feature doesnt work. any one found an android build that works on the stock t-mobile rom?
Roms that work with stock T-mobile
It's a number of new rom that work with the stock rom from T-mobile. I have the stock rom and with the new kernels these are some of the ones that worked for me. I using a totally stock HD2.
1. Mattc Leo + Froyo w/Sense 1.8
2. Build/30.08.2010/*Subcraft 1.5*CM6 Final/Kernel; ElBartoMe 2.6.32.9 #1
No robotic voice or SOD. I ran these builds for 30 days with no problems.

[Q] Help please *Android related*

First let me take the time and express my thanks for the developers/brilliant minds who made android on the HTC HD2 possible thanks so much ...
Now onto my issues well ive installed mattc 1.8 with radio 2.14.50 and i formatted my SD card before hand and followed the guide to a teeth.. But no matter which version ive loaded so far or radio i have tryed thus far i keep having the issue with phone calls incoming and outgoing.
with my last install "mattc 1.8" i was able to make one call but had the robot voice then i get a error stating somethng phone related wont work honestly the rest of the OS performs great so if i could resolve teh calling issue id be set any help would be appreciated here is some more information i have attempted..
radios ive tryed:
2.12.50
2.8.50
installs:
froyo 2.2
shubcraft v1.5
Hyperdroid 1.6
thanks in advance and sorry this had to be my first post
I suggest you do a task29 to your device, flash a new radio, flash an android-friendly rom (chuckydroid for example) then format your sd once again and go with the most recent build available.
I believe your problem may lie with the rom. It is the one part of this equation that you did not mention in your post.

I used the radio 2.12 for a while. Suddenly i got problems. Tried another Winmo Rom and Android builds. Nothing helped. Then i changes to radio 2.10 and suddenly everything was working. So you can try switch to radio 2.10

Help.

OK ive been looking and looking for a simple solution.
everyone knows about the robotic voice on HD2 when you get android. ive been searching old links and posts but most of it doesnt work, people say use miri, i dont really even understand what miri is. but i dont want any WinMo, i like using android on my phone, i was wondering if someone could just point me in the direction of a android build that doesnt have a robotic voice or a simple solution. Please dont be rude, ive been looking for maybe weeks, i would just like some help. i dont really mod my phone much so anything that is simple or helpful will be greatly appreciated.

You`ve searched for weeks and never stumbled upon something like :http://www.google.ro/#hl=ro&source=hp&biw=1440&bih=645&q=android+robotic+voice&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=&fp=d194facf2c53bcbc
I sincerely doubt that...
Then again, there are three main reasons you are having problems with your audio part.
1. You fail to run CLRCAD.exe before HaRET.exe;
2. Your radio is causing these issues;
3. Your ROM (WinMo ROM, NOT Android build!) is causing these issues;
Make sure you first run CLRCAD.exe, then HaRET.exe. If this is done and the issue is still present, try and flash another radio version, such as 2.10 or 2.12 (try some and see which fits you and your surroundings best). If this is taken care of as well and the issue is still present, try and use another ROM (the more basic it is, the better; I`m using one which has absolutely nothing but the old WinMo 5 interface, so it boots in about 4-5 seconds).
Good luck and please refer from posting such "famous" questions before using every option you have available.
EDIT: FYI, MIRI is a WinMo ROM customized for Android. For more information, look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=778398

I don`t remember insulting you in any way, everything I said was that by simply googling "android robotic voice" you could have found your answers and I bet you would have found your answers by hitting the "search" button and finding everything right here on XDA. I am truly sorry for your cultural and intellectual gap, but I`m not going to lower myself to your level, so you will hear no insults from me. You, my dear sir, are the one who should refrain from calling someone who helped you an "asshole".

Everything seems to be okay, as far as the radio goes. I dunno much about 2.15 but at least theoretically it should perform flawlessly. Try and use this combination of radio/ROM, it works for me:
Link to radio: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705098
Link to ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734238
Also, as I have mentioned before, make sure to manually run CLRCAD before HaRET (at least for the first time) so that you can be sure this is not causing it all. Keep me posted, I look forward to hearing from you.
