Can someone advise the best settings for Atom for use with MS VoiceCommand program, which I find to be so useful when it works.
Previously, I used VoiceCommand on my XDA Mini and it worked perfectly.
Now, I can't seem to get the right settings for the Atom to recognise my voice when there is even small amount of background noise present. It is OK when there is no background noise present.

    Hi Jason, shut down your firewall & try again. It should work.

      Hi everyone,

      Does anyone have problems with their active sync? Sometimes when i plug my usb to my computer it does not pick up my atom. The green active sync logo just keeps on spinning and says that it's connecting...but never does! Please help!

      Thanks,

        Steve,
        Yep it's free and it's imperative that you do so. It makes the Atom a whole new machine of sweet goodness.

            OK my ringer is decent - well at least almost as good as my original Pure.

            I should note that O2 Support has been quite helpful, but they say they'd need to look at the unit to se if there is aproblem. I am heading home to the US in two weeks, so this is not an option for me.

            Has anyone retrofitted new speakers to the unit? I've seen people do this on similar products.

            Of course you'd have to be brave enough to break through the tiny "void" stickers over the screws.

                  Do soft reset (using stylus in hole at bottom)
                  then press the red or green phone key or both maybe - whilst this is happening it will gie you a menu and ask are you sure...
                  doing this puts it back to factory state (apart from ROM upgrade)

                      xbackup is a necessity not an option. It is inconsiderate and shameful that O2 did not include it in the Atom.

                            OK I have a complaint.

                            On my Pure the sound out of the speakers was very low and not great, but OK. I was able to get an acceptable ring using MP3s as ring tones.

                            But on this machine the sound from any of the speakers is just TERRIBLE! I am running the latest firmware, though I suspect this is an older machine seeing as how I got it in China.

                            There is significant distortion with any ring, and even in vibrate mode. It is embarrassing. Not that I would do this, but listening to music through the loudspeaker is impossible.

                            So is there a fix to this?

                              Got it working. Sometimes I think it's best to walk away for a while. :)
                              I did not see proxy boxes for GPS, but I changes my authentication method.
                              I think what triggered it was I stumbled upon a connection/network setting that was not defaulted to my Home network.
                              Now all is well. Just have to figure out how to install the T9 .cab.



                              Thanks!

                                You should not have proxy setup if you dont need one on your normal PC on the same wifi network.

                                Make sure that you have the proxy boxes unchecked on the GPRS network settings - for some reason my wifi will try to use my gprs proxy settings if the box is checked.

                                  Can someone tell me how to set my network connection to get to the Internet?

                                  I have my wifi connected to a wifi router and can ping the machines on my network no problem, but when I try to connect to any Internet service it says "cannot Connect with Yout Current network settings" or something like that. Am I supposed to have a Proxy server set up? Doesn't make sense to me.

                                    It might be helpful if the people who have problems with the Atom state whether or not they have upgraded the ROM to the latest version (I suspect that they have not). I heard all of this stuff ages ago and nearly didnt buy the atom because of it, but I paid carefull attention to those that did upgrade the ROM and they all seemed positive about the Atom. So I bought it and upgraded straight away. I have upgraded the ROM whenever a new one came out and all is well with mine. It does everything just fine, speedy, camera works (just not useful for action shots). I do agree that the headphones are crap though. Also check out the latest version called the exec if you are buying from new, it is meant to be a slight improvement based on more RAM and faster CPU.
