Understadning vc1.6 and sms

[slyaii]

i know that voice command 1.6 can annouce incoming text messages. some refers to have them be called sms. regardless of the case, it annouces incoming text (sms). when i installed palm's threaded sms, my incoming text is not pronoucing it. can you help to explain why?

Yes I can. It is because you have not searched the site for the already started topic to where a solution maybe found. So please search "voice command text message" or "voice command sms" or any other combination you may think of and see the hits it brings up.

george, i read thru a lot of palms' threaded sms with no luck. before i installed the palms', my incoming text annouces. after palms', i don't hear it anymore. I read thru a lot of palms' topic on this site and ppcgeeks. none has an answer for it.

I don't disagree with you that there may or may not be an answer. I am asking you kindly to post in the threads all ready started on this subject to keep continuity. That way when someone else comes along we can direct them and it be affective.

thanks.

chillax, dude.
The problems arent related.

The OP is asking a good question. Basically, VC is written by Microsoft and so is designed to operate with system commands as MS designed them.
When you are using the Palm messaging app, you're actually circumventing the MS messaging app that would normally handle the new SMS, and using the plam app instead as a replacement.
VC does not recognize the palm app and therefore doesn't know to announce anything.

The same is true of Media Players and other system alternatives- if you use mortplayer or htc music manager for your tunes, VC will still only know how to control Windows Media Player.

The threads George is referring to are talking about a different problem.
Hope that clears things up.
