I can confirm that Voice Command announce works fine if something else like
the media player is using the audio amp. This pretty much confirms for me
that the issue is the audio amp not turning on before the Voice Command tries
to speak.
My Tilt may do similar stuff. Haven't really paid that much attention. I do
get announcements, but I am pretty sure that some aren't happening. I just
figured I wasn't paying attention. You are talking about stuff like, 'You
have a new e-mail' or 'You have a call from Bill Gates', right. Not sure
what do do about it not happening right, when the phone is in suspend.
