Guest kberk001 Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 hiya guys. couple of questions for those of you who have the mpx200... i have an incredibly finicky scroll wheel on the unit i've just picked up. it is nearly impossible to activate voice dialing, as attempting to press the scroll wheel in always turns the volume up or down instead, so 1) is this an issue with my unit in particular, or is everyone experiencing this? 2) does anyone know of a way to make a link to the voice-dialing app? i would love to add that to the home page as the first clickable icon if i can't get the scroll wheel to work reliably. 3) i saw an image of someone's home screen that had 8-10 small program icons on their main screen, though i don't understand how it was accomplished, which leads me to... 4) lastly, and i feel like a total idiot for this, but i don't get the whole 'tweaks' thing. is there one particular place or file that the code is being added to, or does it depend on the tweak? btw, i do understand the registry change ones, but i'm not as sure about the .xml editing ones (i.e. i 'think' i found the code for adding multiple, small program icons to the home page but i don't know where it's supposed to go!) thanks for the help in advance!

Guest Richie M Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 Hi and welcome to the site :) First off i didnt know the MPX200 had voice dialing enabled :shock: as although there are menu options for it it was never enabled on the SPV or E100 :? Concerning your other points about you are refering to homescreens, have a look in our two Customisation sections, and have a read of the microsoft's whitepaper on editing them http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default....2homescreen.asp FYI ultimately the homescreen XML's will live in /IPSM/Application Data/Home - but the default ones are in the /Windows directory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 With regards to using the phone controls it could just be a matter of getting used to them, we had a similar problem when the SPV first came out the 5way D pad initially took some getting used to.

Guest smittyofdhs Posted November 13, 2003 Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 the post above about the scroll being difficult to get use to is not correct. The scroll wheel does have some problems with it, it's not just your unit. There are tons of the same complaint over at the ATTWS forums regarding the same issue. You can push the button the EXACT same way 5 times and only once will it work correctly. It's too sensitive and will not work correctly most of the time. Not sure if it's software or hardware related. Hopefully the can fix this in the future without having to recall the device. I haven't found a way to shortcut to voice app so I installed Fonix Voice Dial which works much better then the voice tags. all the features of the home screen are in the XML file used to display the screen. Copy the Full.Home.XML file from the windows directory to your PC and open it with notepad. Using that and the link given above should help you better understand how to tweak or customize your home screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NikeD Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 It's very frustrating to activate voice dialing using the Jogdial. 9/10 times I would get earpiece volumn adjustment bar. I asked couple of my friends at work to try. None of them successfully activated voice dialing at the first try. I think it's hardware issue. Many people have this problem. : This phone needs to be recalled :evil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dougr Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 the jog dial is definitely buggy, but with a little practice, i can get the voice dial to work around 90% of the time. the key is to give a single, quick firm press all the way in. wimpy press, and the phone thinks you're adjusting the volume.

Guest Emad Posted November 27, 2003 Report Share Posted November 27, 2003 Hmm, when I push in the jog dial I just get standard voice notes - is voice dial on US phones only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shuflie Posted November 27, 2003 Report Share Posted November 27, 2003 You have to hold it in to activate voice tags, but as posted earlier fonix is a much better solution, unless you want to use voice tags to start apps or call someone on something other than their work/home/mobile/pager number. Would be nice if Fonix had options for work2 and car phone as I sometimes use these for people with lots of different numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest vivek Posted November 28, 2003 Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 Guys, i had trouble with voice-dial on the first day. Almost gave up recoding voice-dial for my contacts. Later i observed that any shaky press is leading to earpiece volume change. To increase success in voice-dialling, i push the jog-dial with thumb-nail straight from the small handle on the dial. It has to go deep to the end, without doubt or being conscious about getting to volume change. Sausage-fingers will find it troublesome to use nails but i'm sure they will find a way too. May be giving a look at mannual and diagram about it will give you clue to set your own style. Surely, this would have been difficult to get used to without the forum. I'm a happy bunny after finding the way that suits me. Best luck to find yours who hasn't yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sls Posted November 29, 2003 Report Share Posted November 29, 2003 Here is the Full homepage layout with the small icons. Rename it as a .xml file ( i couldn't attach file as a .xml) Copy it to the IPSM/application data/home folder. You can then select it in the Homepage section. Enjoy.

Guest FrankyG Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 Can someone confirm, do the contacts need to be on the SIM to be able to assign a voice tag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shuflie Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 No, any contact or shortcut can have a voice tag attached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest opbyrne Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 Maybe i've got sausage fingers cos i cant get the voice dialling to work more than 1 or 2 out of 10 times. Did anyone come up with a way link the voice dialling app to the home screen or do i need to get Fonix Voice Dial? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mike-oh Posted December 30, 2003 Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 the jog dial is definitely buggy, but with a little practice, i can get the voice dial to work around 90% of the time. the key is to give a single, quick firm press all the way in. wimpy press, and the phone thinks you're adjusting the volume. Yup firm is indeed the order of the day. 7 out of ten times now, sure to improve with practice. Any chance this function could be mapped to the button on the headset? Very handy when using hands free? Any luck with a plugin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dharden Posted December 30, 2003 Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 tried that tip about pressing the jog dial hard for voice dialling - 100% success rate! It really needs something doing about it though - it lets an excellent phone down. The really annoying bit on the voice dialling is that you can't activate it from the personal handsfree kit, even though there's a button for answering / finishing calls. My old samsung T100 did this, but the voice recognition was terrible. Now i have a phone with excellent voice recognition which is all but useless! don't suppose there are any tweaks to get the handsfree to use voice dialling?.............

Guest lawsonium Posted December 30, 2003 Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 I had a 0% success rate with voice notes and dialing but now with the new improved sharp dig technique this thread has developed I am now able to say I have a 90-100% success with both functions (holding down for a second or two for dial option obviously). Great :):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
