I installed Voice Command but didn't like it too much since it does not suit the names for my country. The problem is after uninstalling it my Bluetooth handsfree begins to behave like a headset. When I press the pickup button on the bluetooth it turns into a headset and doesn't bring up the voice dial as it used to before I installed Voice Command. I know it must be something to do with the Reg keys, but which ones? Can someone guide me? Thanks in advance.
Curious if it works properly now with voice commands initiated and received over bluetooth plus incomming call announcements over bluetooth.
thanks

not really working for me, once I push the BT button - it ask for the command but the the BT disconnects ...
Works fine for me on my JX-10.
My Jabra BT8010 works well so far with voice command.
FYI; The default mode on the BT8010 is "music mode" This means if you push the large center BT8010 button into your head, it is the pause/play button for Media Player. Here's what you do.......
You have to press the (mode) button at the tip of the BT8010 once to turn off music mode. *icon will change on LCD screen) Now when you press the large center BT8010 button into your head, you'll then hear the voice command boobeep and it works great!
Turn on BT durring a call?
BT question:
Are we supposed to be able to activate our bluetooth headset durring a phone call already in progress? (you want to switch your headset on, in the midde of phone call) I was able to do this just fine on my iPAQ 6900. I noticed that if I activate bluetooth durring a phone call, the system/phone audio will not transfer to the bt headset unless I hang up the current phone call first. The system icon will show it's connected though! I then have to hang upt and call them back and my headset works as it should. This also happened on my 750 via WM5, but I was hoping the new 750 WM6 would fix this. (just updated)
Is this the same behavior for everyone else or is it somethign to do with my BT8010?
I can transfer calls to my Motorola H700 just fine, but I heard the BT8010 dont work quite right with WM. I was actually interested in getting the BT8010's pretty soon - how well does it work? Is the call transfering during a call problem the only thing you've encountered? I've heard it takes away your ringtone(only rings in the headset - not from the phone) can you turn a2dp on/off with ease?
I can turn on my bluetooth (Aliph Jawbone) during the middle of a call and it will transfer the call to the headset.
I can also use VoiceCommand over the bluetooth headset.

same for me with motorola BT (HS500).
Strange. Mine allows me to say the command ... just tried it and dialed out to my brother.
I figured it out, I need to hit the action button my jabra before the audio is transfered over to the headset. (durring an already active phone call with bt turned on later/in the middle of it) This makes sense, since it allows you to control when the audio switches over in case you're not ready. In the past it was automatic. I remember a few times not having my headset on so it's better this way anyway. Everything works great.
Well VC is halfway working for me so far with my MotoHS850... I can make calls by speaking the name and then it dials fine. But VC is not announcing the Caller via BT, although I have that selected under VC settings.
I am also getting this odd behavior I described in detail here: http://discussion.treocentral.com/showthread.php?t=149924
I cant even get it to work without a BT headset... think it is my accent though.
For me, everything works fine so far using a Jabra BT5020 except for one thing. When I activate VC via the headset I get the prompt over bluetooth but then silence. The prompt then repeats over the handset, and it is only then that I am able to initiate a voice command. If I try to do it at the first prompt over the headset, the command won't make it to the phone. The commands are also not repeating over the headset. Anyone else experiencing this?
Jawbone, HTC/Cingular Tilt Voice Commander not working for me...
I too am having difficulties to get the Jawbone to activate Voice Commander v1.60.4622.0. It will start to open the phone connection but then that's it.
Also MS Voice Command is suppose to do more like open apps.; calendar, contacts, etc... nothing happens.
I know MSVC works, when I hit the activation button I set (which happens to be the Windows Start menu) it then will do the typical VC beep and then allow me to speak my command.
I'm thinking it's more a Jawbone thing. I did have it working on my 8525 but I killed that thing.
BT and VC work fine for me using Jawbone. You need to look at the help file on the Palm relating to the VC proper usage as it did not really work for me until I did some reading. There are very specific words you must use to get it to work i.e. Open Contacts FAILS but Show Contacts succeeds. Then Show "conatct name" will show you the person you are looking for. As far as initiating a call via BT headset, I press the Jawbone side button this gives me a tone then a pause then another tone then you speak your instructions i.e. Call John Smith, there will be a pause while the app looks for John Smith, then it will repeat the name to you and ask if you want to call John Smith at Home, Work, or mobile depending on what you have saved for that particular contact. I have noticed it isn't perfect. If you have a contact with a phonetically difficult name it would be wise to change the contact name to Bob B instead of Bettencourt as at times the VC doesn't understand the name spoken. Overall it works pretty good, much better than my old Razr and there is no setup involved just say the name and go.
Hello,
I use my Kaiser to play music through my car stereo's bluetooth adapter (Pioner Avic D3). My 'problem' is that the phone automatically connects to the stereo for hands free telephone operation, but I have to go to Bluetooth settings and set the stereo to 'Set as Wireless Stereo' every time I want to play music or use voice recognition through the bluetooth.
So, does anyone know of an easier way to either force automatic stereo bluetooth (A2DP/AVRCP) connect. If not, how could I make a *.lnk that I could place on the start menu to run a macro that would do this for me? Any other ideas are welcome too!
Thanks
Look into Writing a MortScript that will do this.
Side Note: Officially This doesn't belong in ROM Dev. Moving to General. Thanks!
Search for A2DPSwitch. Little program that will toggle wireless stereo on/off when run. I mapped it to a hardware key (long press windows key) so that I can easily activate my headset.
Start menu is no good as you have to reconnect manually everytime the connection is lost anyway (when you get out of your car with the phone for example).
Hi all
As the title suggests, I bought a new bluetooth headset (Chatterbox XBi2 for my motorcycle) and I'm trying real hard to get it working before a trip on friday, but so far, no luck.
I can stream music to it from my diamond, and I've gotten it to launch voice command, by replacing redial.exe (which is what my button launches) with voicecommand.exe renamed.
With some messing around (set this device as wireless stereo/handsfree), I get about 80% of the functionality working --
the button launches voice command, I hear the prompt in my headset, but the mic that gets turned on to hear my response is on the *phone* not the headset.
Phone calls once connected work properly through the headset.
Can anyone help??
thanks
Cory
Anyone have any ideas?
Sadly, Google decided to make Android 9 stream every sound a phone can make to a connected BT device, no matter if that device is capable of playing that sound, and no matter if streaming every sound makes sense at all. This leads to not hearing alarms and notifications and it also means you can't hear directional instructions by you navigation app when your phone is paired to your car's radio for phone calls only.
And sadly, Lineage decided not to undo this not-so-clever idea of Google.
I know we had this discussion before, but being not able to hear my navigation app drives me crazy every day I need to use it. My company car is equipped with a BT capable radio, that can handle calls only. But as soon as the radio and my phone are connected, Android/LOS still tries to send every tone and every sound to that radio, resulting in silencing my phone completely.
I tried some apps that can redirect any sound in a way that they appear as a phone call to a connected BT device. But those apps block calls, and while I am talking to some one, there won't be any navigation instructions on the car's speaker either and I have to rely on optical instructions, removing my vision from the happenings on the road. These apps also make the radio useless as a radio: you have to keep it switched to BT input all the time.
How about the other way round? Is there any app that can make Android stop sending a specific audio output to a connected BT device? If it's possible to disguise even music as a phone call, I imagine it should be possible to tell BT to use the phone's speaker for a specific source of sound.
There is a setting in maps whether to send directions via Bluetooth

There's a similar setting in Osmand, which sends directions as a phone call to the BT device. But using this option will interrupt the paring for phone calls, so you can't have both, you have to decide whether to use hand free calling mode or to hear your navigation directions.
BT and its settings was a thousand times more sophisticated in Android 7 / LOS 14, when alarms and notification sounds where played over the phones speaker, while your music or calls was sent to a BT device. Now, in A8/LOS15 and above, all sounds are send to a paired and active BT device. So, if your ear phones are activated, and you put them into your pocket, you won't hear any text notification or any alarm. I can not imagine the poor way of thinking at Google's development department that has lead to this idea.
