Blame Android for it's stupid Audio routing... :/ Sorry, I can't help you. You could try this app instead.

Good luck

Hi Tom!

Yesterday I've tryed your great app on my Wildfire and I'd like to use your it in a discrete mode, only when I plug the headphone, but I have a problem:

the app still say the sms, call and mail even if I check the discrete mode and I don'd have the headphone plugged in. :(

Any idea? Can someone test this feature on a Wildfire?

Many thanks and keep up the good work Tom!

Marco

P.S: Is there a way to shut up the app while saying? Yesterday the app say load the sms I received in my office and I can't find a simple way to shut up the phone.
[Android Apps and Games] TomTasche:
The last update introduced a little bug... Discreet mode only works if you have "Change Audio Routing" in Advanced Settings enabled.

You can mute SayMyName very easy. Either you click the icon in the notification bar, or you simply lay it face down on the desk. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Markino:
Thank you Tom!

have you planned to fix soon this little bug?

I can wait for a new version if it will be released soon otherwise I can try the workaround you wrote me...

Many thansk!
[Android Apps and Games] TomTasche:
The workaround is exactly what previous versions did. So if you didn't problems before you don't have to wait for an update.

I'll try to fix that problem tomorrow. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Markino:
Ok, thanks!

The most recent version (last available) of your app is always the one on the market or the one in the post of the forum?
[Android Apps and Games] TomTasche:
Most recent stable version is available on Android Market. However, you can find test-versions at Google Code.
[Android Apps and Games] Markino:
i've just tryed the workaround with the version I download now from the market (2.5.1) and it seems to works perfectly. Great!

Since you're developer... can I ask you why the notification led of my Wildfire (every Android?) blink correctly when an sms arrive, for istance, but after few minutes it switch off?

I think it's really annoing because if I lost a call or sms probably I hace my phone in the poket or somewhere and probably I can see the led od my device after a long time...

My question's: is it possible to dev an app in order to configure the timeout of the notification led? i'd like the led blink without a timeout...
[Android Apps and Games] illflux:
Thanks so much for this app!
[Android Apps and Games] TomTasche:

[Android Apps and Games] }{Alienz}{:
Hey Tom. This is one AMAZING App! It took me roughly 30 minutes to set it correctly (was getting all kinds of erratic behavior but glad to say I finally got it fully working and it's AMAZING!)

I use it with Tasker to have it read texts over my car speakers when driving only. It's great. (I prefer it over tasker-only since it will read calls too, not just text; and its much easier to set up than 5 tasker tasks).

I read through the topic here and was impressed at the user support you are providing and the rapid development. Keep up the good work!

Rather a question for the community here: Do you know of any good TTS voices? I have a 2.1 Galaxy S and am using the Pico TTS (tried eSpeak but its even worse) and am not too impressed with the voices. I KNOW this has nothing to do with the app here but curious are there any other engines that are worth getting. What do you use?

EDIT: I spent the whole day today looking and researching. Finally found a solution and it sounds AMAZING. It's called Loquendo and is located here.

http://www.loquendo.com/en/android/index.htm

It's made for 2.2 Android BUT if you read the FAQ, it states it will work with 2.1 devices given Text-To-Speech Extended is installed. So. I went and got Text-To-Speech Extended from the market (its free), and then got Loquendo and let me tell you, my phone has NEVER sounded better! Tom, your app SayMyName works FLAWLESSLY with Loquendo.

Here is how the actual voice sounds for those interested:

http://tts.loquendo.com/ttsdemo/default.asp?page=id&voice=Susan

Loquendo says more voices are coming soon! And since it works with SayMyName, ALL of the upcomming voices will work. This is now officially my favorite app for when driving :)

PS: I'm running this on a Samsung Vibrant (Galaxy S) running Android 2.1
[Android Apps and Games] TomTasche:
Some users reported that they are using SVOX. I've never tried another voice myself... ;)

Thanks for your feedback! :)
[Android Apps and Games] Bluebolt:
Hey Tom. I've been having a few problems with the app.

Firstly, when I select "Play ringtone after I've announced the caller" it always sets the default ringtone to "silent" so the phone just vibrates (even after I've tried changing the ringtone).

Secondly, when I uncheck "saymyname" to disable the app, it still defaults to silent so I have to uninstall it to regain control over my ringer.

The only way the app works is if I choose "Play ringtone during speech" but then I can hardly hear the speech.

I'm using a rooted HTC Desire with a MoDaCo r8 2.2 custom ROM.

Keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] TomTasche:
Hello,

I do not really understand what's the problem. You complain that you can't hear SayMyName when there's a ringtone set, but you also complain when there's no ringtone set so you can hear SayMyName? :P

However, you can change the ringtone in your phone's settings (not SayMyName's). No matter how you've configured SayMyName.

Tell me if that doesn't solve your problems. :)

Good luck

Tom
[Android Apps and Games] Bluebolt:
Hello Again.

I have tried setting the ringtone in the phone settings, but the app still overrides it. I've tried every possible permutation of settings and haven't managed to get it working the way I want yet. Most of the time it doesn't announce anything at all.

It seems other people are having similar problems (look at the Android Market comments for the app).

Also, I cannot get the locale plug-in to work with Tasker.

I hope you manage to sort out the issues as your app is far more customisable than similar apps.
[Android Apps and Games] TomTasche:
Ok.

First, uninstall SayMyName completely and install it again. Don't change any settings afterwards! Now go to your phone's settings and set a ringtone.

You will hear it next time you receive a call.

Tasker-Plugin should work now too, hopefully. :)

SayMyName only changes the ringtone if you press "Make Ringtone Silent". So be careful when browsing through the settings. ;)

Good luck

Tom

I have a samsung galaxy s. Is there any important settings I need to set for it to work correctly on the sgs?
[Android Apps and Games] Beards:
Yes, I too would like to know this... For some strange reason it's stopped announcing be that SMS or GMail.
[Android Apps and Games] rafpigna:
I love this App, thanks! If you dont have an Italian translation, I can make it

[Android Apps and Games] TomTasche:
SayMyName should work out of the box after you've opened it once. :)

Please uninstall it and install again afterwards. Sorry.

Thanks. :) I think it's already translated to Italian. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Beards:
Thanks Tom. Will try as you say.

Sometimes the widget stops responding. The only way to fix seems to be removing from the screen and then re-adding. Restarting the phone also works.

When I activate your app I get 'Tedd's answer call tool - remixed' on my caller screen. How do I disable it?
[Android Apps and Games] linkazoid:
If I mute my ringer when someone is calling when I'm in a meeting the ringtone will mute but will keep announcing the callers name. Can this be fixed?
[Android Apps and Games] TomTasche:
Go to Advanced Settings and disable "Show Mute-screen".

Good idea! It's on my ToDo-list. :)

I am sure most of you haven been clicking like mad on the threads with [ROM] in front of the subject, thinking that this must be the one and only rom for your desire, just to find out that the rom is a copy of a copy of a copy of another rom ?

What I would like is that we could have a thread with the names of "original" roms.

What do you mean by this? All roms are based on either HTC's sense or a stock AOSP build.

this is why all original froyo sense rom are based on the ota update which is not a full rom..it´s only a update....so we have to thanks people like klutsh or paul to make a system dump from the update

with kind regards..Alex

edit: but the roms have differnet mod´s and some have sense and some are google like...So you have to find the one that is the best for you...and there is no best rom...all rom´s here are good...so it´s the personal feeling whats the best for you

My story is typical, I'm guessing, I am posting to see how many others who have opted for the MIR route have had to go through as much?

Mailed in my MIR form 6/17/2010

About a week later, get an email with the tracking number. Say, 6/23/2010.

I keep checking, I keep checking. Says processing for almost a month.

Then 7/17/2010, it says Invalid, that my address was wrong. Interesting, because I know it isn't, claims my "zip code" must be a valid US zip code. I live in Brooklyn, I know my zip code is fine.

I call them that day. First phone call, the rebate CSR (who informs me that they cannot see my account address yet asks me to verify my name and address, huh?), she corrects the "incorrect address" It's so wildly egregously wrong that I KNOW someone had a turrets moment when they were typing.

I'm told everything is fine. Also that the website takes approximately 2 weeks to update that the rebate is back on track.

I check a week later, 7/23/2010. For whatever reason I called the rebate number again. They tell me that while they have corrected my "address" my zip code appears to be wrong. Again, this is RIGHT AFTER the Rebate CSR has just had me VERIFY my name and address over the phone. I get them to correct the zip code.

Just forward to today: 8/10/2010, I call them because on Friday I received a postcard claiming my address was STILL WRONG. I check online, it's been over two weeks, the information about a disallowed rebate has not been updated.

Again, this Rebate CSR has me VERIFY my name and address but claims they can't see my information, then what are they "verifying" against? When I ask they can't tell me apparently.

After a 10 minute back and forth where I am told on no less than one occasion that "it's computers, they do whatever they want." I wanted to tell him that computers ONLY do what they are told, nothing more, the joke I've heard over the years is if you tell a computer to screw up, it's going to ask you how.

He says, he's now corrected the information and that the system will show a valid rebate status and they will be mailing out my check to me within 2 weeks.

When I asked him about why I called the other times and was told the information had been corrected and it had not, I swear I could hear him shrugging (mentally). "Look man, these are computers, they do whatever they want."

*sigh"

Just checked my rebate status, something they claimed would take two weeks to update, took this guy 2 minutes.

I'd love to hear other stories about rebate hell. Perhaps the power of persistence.

I didn't have any problem with my Evo rebate, but did with my last phone's rebate. Everything looked fine until it got to the approved-mailing your check part of the process, then after a few days it was changed to invalid. Called them up, the guy said, "Hmm, that's weird, there's nothing wrong with it" and he put it back in. Website showed approved again for a week, then it went invalid again. Called them again, and another person said "That's weird, nothing wrong with it, let me talk to my supervisor". After holding for a while, they finally put it back in. A few weeks later, I got my check, and got the pleasant surprise of getting a $250 rebate instead of the $100 rebate I was supposed to get :)

[EVO 4G General] Muledeer:
my history with mail in rebates reflects the following rebate cash flow process

1. third party Rebate handler records 250,000 rebates sent in

2. Company (Sprint) reimburses rebate handler for 250,000 rebates plus 30% administrative/handling fees

3. Rebate company "invalidates due to incorrect rebate info" or "lost paperwork" or "computer glitch" 50-70% of rebates

4. Persistent rebaters (25%) call in/email/stalk/harass rebate company for rebate and finally receive rebate

5. Remaining users forget about rebate - rebate company celebrates profitable year with huge salary increases.

Me...I stay on their asses till I get my rebate - complete with calendar reminders and copies of ALL paper work till I receive my rebate.

[EVO 4G General] weidnerj:
I checked my rebate about a month ago and it came back as an invalid address. So I called them and gave them my correct address. The reason is that the Sprint store was trying to be helpful and fill out the card but the guy has worst penmanship than I do. So instead of a 0 it looked like a "b" to the processing center. Had to go to Sprint because I am on a friends and family plan.

So they gave me the tracking number. If I look up the original one, still shows as denied - correction processed now that I just checked, but the one with the tracking number that I got when I called Sprint shows in progress and ready to be mailed within 30 days.

The other day I got a post card stating that my address was incorrect, but beats the heck out of me if they can get my address from their files - and bill me each month that they couldn't use the same address to mail me my rebate. So 8 weeks so far and waiting. Would have been nice to have sooner, not that I need the money right now, but last month was a $425 phone bill including the additional EVO tax and phone on my account.

I purchase mine from sprint because no one had it in stock at the time. I kept stalking bb, rs, and the sprint website until someone had it in stock. I got the"invalid" postcard and when I contacted then they said it was because it had not been 30 days yet. I will be keeping my eye out. I use to work for sprint in the past and they got in trouble once for bogus denials of rebates. Also the rebates are processed by a third party company named Young America, they actually process the rebates for all companies.

Got the postcard in the mail. They somehow miss-read a 1 for a 6. I know my writing isn't the best, but it's pretty damn hard to miss-read a 1 for a 6!

Anyhow, the guy was very nice, fixed the address and asked if it was the one on the bill/had just verified with him, I said yes, and he corrected it. Told me he manually approved it and will get it within 2 weeks; he also said the website updates within 2 hours.
