Date: Thu, 7 Jun 2007 18:33:47 -0500 Hi, Ok, well at least that clarifies that, and hopefully it can get fixed sometime soon. either way thanks for those steps, that helps a lot! By the way, to get out of the recording screen, it's also possible to use a long press on the play key... Now whether that's purposeful or not I'm not sure, but it does work and it doesn't turn off the voice menus that way. One other question, has anyone noticed their IAudio making random beeps and bleeps from time to time? This seems to happen both while the voice is playing and with actual mp3 songs, which tells me it's not the voice file we're using. -----Original Message----- From: rockbox-bounces_at_cool.haxx.se [mailto:rockbox-bounces_at_cool.haxx.se]On Behalf Of Paul Erkens Sent: Thursday, June 07, 2007 5:39 PM To: Rockbox Subject: Re: auto turning off of voice menus? Hi Christy and Amy, It's not normal behaviour as far as I know, that the voice feature turns off under certain conditions on an IAudio x5. I suppose it's a bug. I have an IAudio x5 myself, and it also happens sometimes when you exit the recording screen by holding the power switch a bit too long. You need to flick the power switch, to get out of the recording monitor screen. But if you keep it pushed up too long, the device shuts off and after turning it back on, the voice menus feature is set to no. To fix this if it does happen to you again, just do the following. First read, then try. If you have an option called "recent bookmarks" in your main menu, that item is at the top of the screen when you turn the x5 on. If you did not turn on the option for recent bookmarks however, the device powers up with the menu cursor on "files", to begin with. What you should do, is turn the voice option back on, and you can do that without speech feedback if you know the way through the menu system till voiced menus. Here's how to do that. 0. Power down and restart your x5, to have a well defined starting point for the menu cursor. 1. If the option for recent bookmarks is there, begin by arrowing down 4 times, and you'll be on settings. If the unit powers up with the cursor on files, then settings is 3 times down from there. Of course you can't see what you're doing, but if you did not turn on the recent bookmarks feature, then you can be sure you are on files when you first power up. 2. Once arrowed down in the main menu, to go into the settings menu, push right. 3. You are now in the settings submenu, one level down from the main menu. The cursor in this menu will land on "sound settings", which is the top most item by default, inside settings. From here, arrow down once and you are on general settings. 4. Push right to enter the general settings submenu, which lies two levels down from the main menu. 5. In general settings, the new menu has playback at the top, and voice at the very bottom. It's easiest to arrow up once from here, so you jump from playback right to voice. 6. Again, push right to enter the voice menu. This is 3 levels down from the main menu. 7. In the voice menu here, the top most option is the one we need to turn on. It's named voice menus. Arrow right to enter the choice list for voice menus. 8. This list has yes and no, and because the unit did not speak when you turned it on, you know that the cursor is likely on "no". Arrow up or down, doesn't matter which you choose, and you'll land on yes. 9. Finally, push right to acknowledge. 10. Arrow up and down to test, and the voice should be back. So to summarize: from the main menu: 3 or 4 down to settings, and right to enter. one down, to general settings, right to enter. up, to get to voice, right to enter. Once landed on voice menus, go right to enter. Up once, to move from no to yes, then right to confirm yes. So: 3 or 4 down, 1 right, 1 down 1 right, 1 up 2 right, 1 up, 1 right. And ready you are. Paul. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Christy Schulte" <christy_at_faylen.com> To: "Rockbox" <rockbox_at_cool.haxx.se> Sent: Thursday, June 07, 2007 7:53 PM Subject: auto turning off of voice menus? > I'm curious, is it normal for rockbox, specifically on the IAudio, to turn > off voice announcements when the battery gets low? > > We had a situation where Amy's IAuio was low on battery power, and when > she > tried using it after recharging it wouldn't talk.
