Wired Headset mapped to voice command?

if we can get the bluetooth headset then why not the wired headset?

I agree fully...i need the wired headset for my motorcycle...i need to be able to access voice command from my wired headset button. There must be a way to do this!

I've written an app to do this, but it's not released yet. One day... gotta turn it into something useful.
V

There are many people looking for a program that'll do it.
There is a program that seems to work for some (talk button detector), but doesn't for many.
When you release the program, where will we be able to find it, vijay555?
Thanks

If and when it's released, it'll be on my website. But it's likely to take a while because I want to mash it together with some other features and functions, and I'm writing some other intensive apps first.
What do you need the app to do, just launch another specified app?
V

Thanks for the reply Vijay.
The only feature I seem to need would be running a voice dialer application like Voice Speed Dial that comes with MDA, or Voice Commander, so that I can not only receive but also make calls through the wired headset. Maybe while the voice application is running, pressing the button again should close the application.

My original Cingular Rom had this function, so did another one i flashed later(can't remember specific). Sadly most Roms do not support this. Talkbutton seemed like the answer but didn't work for me. I also tried a cab from the Hermes section, but no success on 8125.
Perhaps someone could extract the files from one of the official Roms, or Vijay555 could, perhaps, share some info on this, when he is free, as he seems to be the only one that has this figured out.
Thanks in advance

I'm afraid I'm not in a position to share info on it right now, it's some R&D I did a while back but I haven't had a chance to chase it up further yet to turn it into an app. Once I do, I'll need to tighten it up into a more comprehensive app. I will do it though.
I'll try to look into it soon, maybe a standalone is possible.

i remember having a panasonic walkman, an old fashioned tape player, yet it was nice. one of it's best features was a remote with only one button, that reacted to long/single/double/tripple press with acordingly: reverse, pause/play, FF, REV. this was great, and times was like 1995? wish i could do it with wizard's talkbutton, i was hoping to find an app like this, but no luck so far. vijay, i really believe you can do this... and it has been a while since you last posted here, maybe theres been some progress on your work? (sorry if i sound demanding

The app works as far as I need to it to, but it would benefit from a single button driven "interface", eg one click = launch app, two clicks = close app etc.
However, I've been out of the scene for a few months, and will not be back until the New Year. After that I'll try to start getting back into research.
V

Good thing to hear! I'm waiting patiently.
Of course it is obvious but i'll ask; would it be customisable?
i know it would be easy to implement config for actions like launching other programs or closing specific ones... i don't dare to hope for something like sending messages to different apps like tcpmp that would allow to switch tracks or other things... i guess i'll try to figure it out myself, but with my poor knowledge of WM api it will be rather a disaster ;]

Unresolved Tilt Issues (Please Contribute)

Ongoing issues that need to be resolved - If you respond to any of these before you write any response PLEASE put the issue number at the top of your post, because this thread is going to get very large fast and this will help keep it somewhat organized, thanks.
#1: I have tried everything but can dump the time & battery icon off the title bar without alignment problems. Anybody find a key yet? Are we stuck creating new icon templates in black to save us from the alignment issue? Or has someone found a key to compensate the alingment loss from removing both time & battery status icons?
#2:Does Video Share work on the Tilt if you have an HTC ROM on it and are connecting with a Video Share enabled phone? (obviously this will only be applicable for people who live in the selected 3G networks for which Video Share is supported)
#3:When I make/recieve a call, and I try to access the top bar (start button) the top bar locks up. if I try a shortcut button to IE for example, IE loads but just says connecting... if I hangup the call, it redoes the 3G connection (it was 3G before I was on the call) and the IE works.
BUT the top bar is locked up. Start/3G icon, etc doesn't click. Only the "X" will work until I do a reboot.
#4
The "Buttons" setting only allows me to change the short press settings for 5 buttons. Elsewhere on this forum, there are instructions for adding the PTT button for both short press and long press, by adding registry keys 40C6 and 40C7. Can I add long press entries for other buttons?
Update!: According to HTC support, this is currently impossible. Sorry. (thanks deathace)
Update #2: Vito Button Mapper also enables push and hold functionality for the standard buttons (not PTT button) using the Start, Settings, Button Mapper. Also allows for customization of the soft buttons based on running application. Got to say that while Vito Button Mapper works, it's not that WM6 Pro friendly. In other words it works, but has some issues with icon display and uninstall. Hopefully HTC support will get their act together. (thanks Jim_R)
Update #3: Spb Pocket Plus 4.0.1 also allows for remapping of keys w/hold functionality, including PTT and works with WM6 (thanks _Alex_)
#5
Is there a way to choose radio frequency besides using Bandswitch? Meaning the setting would show up in the Phone Settings menu that allows Band Selection. Perhaps there are some registry edits out there?
Here is a cab file that replaces "PhoneSettings.Dll" with the one from the Rogers Canada Tilt Rom. and enables the Band Tab. You will be required to reset your phone after installation.
#6
There have been issues regarding connecting to WEP encrypted networks...if anyone else knows of these issues and a possible fix, please contribute...whitelisting the MAC address on the router has already been attempted (and failed).

This post has been moved and temporarily stickied.
Please be sure to visit the Wiki. Most of your questions can be answered there regarding the Tilt.
The previous thread, "The thread to address ALL TILT-specific questions" has been unstuck, but can still be used if required.
Have fun!

HTC steaming media seems to work on the TyTN II but not the tilt. of all the posts that I've read, and googled, only 1 person has said that their tilt works with streaming media is working, but not fully with every site, just a few. TCPMP with ytpocket seems to be the closest thing to a band aid. but this ony gets you youtube, not the other sites that work on a TyTN II with HTC SM.

Okay, Here's the deal. HTC streaming media is for RTSP files only. That means Pocket YouTube. Yes it works in the US, but you have to have the correct ID/User Agent for it to work correctly. Basically the Streaming Media Player is a license of Real Player. All stock Tilt have an EXE called Real.exe in windows directory. If you open it, it's the same as Streaming Media Player, Has the same Icon as Real Player, & the about screen calls it HTC Real Player.

errrrrr. If you flash the identical ROM on a TyTN II and a Tilt, how are the files in the windows directory any different?
I think you misread what I typed.

OK, after serching in many forums, i found that the problem is:
"When the device is protected by a password (Start/Settings/Lock), the start menu freezes after ending phone calls. In addition, the backlight turns off.
This only happens if the phone call is long enough (more than a few secs) for the display to turn off during the call. This is to prevent accidental button presses. When the phone call is ended the display should come back up, however, this is where bug seems to manifest itself. Somehow the password protection gets in the way and turns the display off and freezes the start menu.
The reason why this is serious (especially for business users) is that when you use MS exchange sync, many businesses enforce policies requiring a device password (common & recommended practice). This means that the option of turning the device password off does not exist. Therefore, using exchange sync (with security policies enforced) and making phone calls does not work."
So, acording to this, there are two solutions:
1º Sinple turn of pasword protection if you don't need it;
2º (found in modaco) Change a registry entry:
\HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\EnableFastDormantDisplay DuringCall
From "1" to "0" will stop it but be warned if you arent using a headset then the touch sensitive screen will be in operation throughout the call so you may end up with your ear triggering applications etc...

HTC Kaiser QuickGPS Fix (Error solution)
Just import this .reg file into your Kaiser registry:

Nasty Camera
My phone works ok I guess and I am pleased with it. But I miss not being able to take photos with it. I used my TYTN all the time primarily as a mobile video station and a camera. But this KAISER is a complete mess when it comes to taking photos.
My point is, can someone tell me how to turn off the auto focus is thats the problem or does anyone have any idea how to speed up the lens to capture time. It takes forever to set its focus. Oh, and don't start me on video capture as that IS the joke of the century.
I can't believe what a step back this KAISER is in comparison to its older brother the TYTN. I expected this phone to at least take a moderate picture. Why on earth is the 2nd camera better (VGA) than the 3MP main camera. It is completely crazy.
I digress and am off to cry now.

Hi all,
may I know if anyone had face this problem. Whenever we receive an SMS, it pops up as a notification at the bottom of the screen. But the notification normally have 2 options: Normally, reply/view on the left and menu on the right. For the left option, sometimes it is "reply" and sometimes it is "view". Is this normal? How can I change it to permanently as "view" only?
Thanks all in advance.

Hi eRic,
It is shown as "Reply" when your message fits the dialog box notification neatly. If it doesn't "View" is shown for you to read the full message. Hope this helps.

Hey, actually I have a problem synchronizing. I have been told that if a Kaiser is connected to a PC through Activesync, then the Kaiser could use the PC's Internet connection. And I think that is great, except mine won't. Instead my PC will try to use my Kaiser as a modem, even though it is already connected.... What can I do?

DoubleLauncher also includes similar functionality, but with even more options:
single tap, double tap, single hold, double hold, triple tap - 5 combinations per button - HTC may be right that it isn't possible with vanilla windows, but it is obviously possible to code something.

wifi vs AT&T
Sorry for asking a question that I am sure was already addressed (unfortunately I cannot find it).
How do I instruct my AT&T Tilt (Kaiser) to try to connect using WiFi when it is present rather then connect using AT&T GPRS, 3G whatever?
When I bought my phone in October, I got advice from Howard Forum to go to your site (http://forum.xda-developers.com/att...22&d=1191864241) to get a cab file. I did that, and it worked.
I had to replace my phone which was defective, and now I wanted to get the same cab file for the new phone but the link no longer works.
Your advice and help will be very much appreciated. If you prefer you can send me a private message to [email protected].

upgrade??
I was this close to jumping from the 8525 to the 8925 but advised not too: ATT rep says there are software and hardware issues that they are working on with HTC and IT guys say they've had issues as well.
What's the consensus here? is it worth the risk or should I wait a while longer for things to iron out?

Well, the Video Rendering sucks. All in all though, I have to say I really like the device. It's okay out of the box, but after tinkering & tweaking I have to say that I'm glad I moved to the Kaiser. The GPS is solid for me & after changing my DNS settings to OpenDNS the internet is fast. I tether a lot & get great speed on my laptop (when in HSPDA or 3G). Yess, there are some issues, but I think it's the best device around. I've had no problems with my Tilt or my TYTN II. It works really well with our Blackberry server & I get my emails fater on my device than on my pc.
The only issue for me again is the video. But it's mostly a work device for me, so vide isn't a big deal. Besides TCPMP playback is good enough for catching up on my missed episodes of House MD.
I'd say go for it.

Hi all,
I wonder if this is even consider a problem or bug. At the Today screen, there will be times when you are overflow with schedules. Then a scroll bar will appear at the right most of the screen(as shown below left). The scroll bar stretch all the way from the top of the screen to the bottom of the screen. Is it possible to change it to such a way that the scroll bar starts from the bottom of the Today plug-in to the bottom of the screen(as shown bottom right). Please kindly advice if this can be done.
Thanx
Cheers
eRic

You can use HHC (home plug-in config) to lock the home plug in. Then the scroll is just at the bottom. There is a registry setting to do the same thing, but I don't know what it is. The HHC is a great utility as you can back up the plug in and change the fonts and icons too.

OpenDNS
GSLEON, where does one change DNS settings to the OpenDNS settings? Thanks.

What can I do???
Hello all,
I am on my second Tilt now (on AT&T network) but I am still having voice clarity issues. Very choppy conversations at times, even when connected to a landline, but there are always at least 2 signal bars & 3G displayed. I have tried to disable the data before making calls, but so far I have seen no improvement. Could Active sync have something to do W/ my problem? It always seems to be running. Also, I am using the stock AT&T rom.
Any input provided pertaining to my issue is greatly appreciated.

Is there a soft phone app. for the Herald?

Wondering if there is a Smart Phone app for the Herald?
Basically, I use WiFi or my data plan to connect to my work network and then make calls by dialing the extension.

I downloaded WM6voip.cab and installed it. Is there an XML file I have to edit to change the settings?

Yes, we're all struggling with this a bit

And no one seems to know the answer.
I have Schaps VoIP files installed in the ROM and it DOES work but the service wavers from SELECTED to NO SERVICE at will and the dialer both dials, doesnt connect as soon as it has finished dialing AND gives wrong "there is no network" error messages as soon as you finish dialing.
I have on ONE or TWO occasions managed to get the phone to connect and found the volume to be impossibly low while the person I was calling said my voice was (if anything) too loud!
You apparently need to install Omapclock to overclock to use VoIP at all but this is supposed to cure the low volume problem (it doesn't for me and I have overclocked to 286). But from a position of no knowledge, I am pretty sure you dont have to change any xml settings!
Meanwhile no one knows if the cooks are checking that VoIP should work in their ROMs. aSerg is keeping shtum on this for his new ROM. it is so flaky and the cooks respond to VoIP questions so rarely that I am wondering whether the ROM one uses has some input into whether VoIP works PROPERLY or not.
It seems that the best soft dialer out there is SJPhone which I have installed relatively successfully on a Wizard, though it is a bit of a pig to configure. What with creating a profile, marking it active, selecting it and using it etc etc etc.

Voice Command Caller ID announcements on Raphael reg edit tweak...

A lot of people have commented that the Raphael doesn’t announce the caller ID in blue tooth headsets. Some carriers have bundled the MS Voice Command application into the stock ROM with values that give you ring tone in blue tooth headset but no caller ID (this is true for the Verizon 6850 version, for example).
Here’s a quick and easy registry edit I found looking for a solution to this at PPC Geeks. I’ve tested it and it works like a charm.
This was the original text:
------------------------------
With this fix - the ring tone will play for a second and then be cut off by the call announcement. The announcement will be at a lower volume. The announcement will repeat - the ring tone will not be played again.
NOTE THAT YOU SHOULD ATTEMPT THIS FIX ONLY IF YOU ARE COMFORTABLE IN UPDATING YOUR REGISTRY.
Change the following registry keys:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\TTSAnnounce\Category
change from VoiceCommand1 to Ring
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\TTSAnnounce\Script
change from as5p to v0p (that's v-zero-p) - for vibrate & ring, or p (ring only)
The above fix seems to get the announcements reliably, and doesn't break the set vibrate/set ringer features in the TF3D interface.
Hopefully we can find a better solution - that will restore the full functionality of Voice Command incoming call announcements - and not need this hack.
Another option is to manually overwrite the ringtone file name:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Sound
change to \Application Data\Volatile\TTSCallerID.wav
This fix replaces the ringtone with the call announcement - and at full volume.
BUT this solution has several problems, including breaking the set vibrate/set ringer feature in TF3D.

Tried the first one, works as posted. Fuze, at&t test rom.
Thanks!

Sure
My pleasure--it was really annoying not to know was calling me when I'm walking around or driving.

Same here. I have a personal reason for wanting the call announcement in the blue tooth, rather than the speaker. I don't like blasting out who's calling me, or annoying ringtones to everyone else...LOL...kind of a pet peeve of mine.
I have a "borg implant" stuck in my ear 8-10 hours a day, and it is nice, when I'm working, NOT to have to pull the phone out of its case to see who's calling.
You would think that MS, HTC, or who ever is at fault for this "bug" can't fix it without someone having to hack the registry to get it to work like it is suppose to.
Once again, thanks!

FM Recording on Xperia X1

Hi all,
I have searched the forums, and tried a few apps and I haven't been able to find a solution to this - I was wondering if anyone else has or would want a way.
I like to listen to the radio to hear up to the minute local news, interesting local programming, some good new music and regular local humorous/comedy programs. And sometimes while listening to these I may get interrupted or may hear something I'd really like to share or refer to later - so in the past I'd just click the 'Record' switch on my MP3 player and then replay whatever I missed/saved later. Sometimes I also hear a good song and I'll record a few seconds to get enough of the lyrics to Google it later.
Knowing the X1 had an FM radio and WM6 I figured there must be an app out there to do this, the Samsung Omnia 2 apparently has this feature out of the box. I know some phones have the FM radio direct connected to the headphones/speakers, but I also know on the X1 has RDS and people have even found ways to use it as a TMC receiver on this forum. So I'm hoping there might be a way to record from FM - nothing fancy, not the full schedulers of the Chinese clone phones, but just some app that might at least let us hit a button and record a few minutes would be awesome.
Does anyone know how or if this can be done on the Xperia?
Thanks a lot,
Peter

Yes, I've checked many different programs and most that say they do record are actually Internet Radio stations and not FM. Actually when I clicked your link the first many results were already purple from when I searched it last week before posting.
One interesting thing I just came across is that Apple announced last week that their new iPod Nano will have 'Live Pause' functionality on it's FM tuner. That would be dream functionality for me, especially if it also included an actual recorder function to share the content later (which I doubt). But I really, really don't like Apple - and my X1 has let me leave my pocket digi cam, PDA, mp3 player and old phones at home and do it all with one device. It would be awesome if it could also record, even if rudimentarily.
99% of results you get with this search is either people who posted asking and were ignored, Internet Radio apps, info on clone phones or mp3 players or Call/Video recording software.
Thanks for your reply,
Peter

i used to have an ATOM exec that FM record function
go to their sub forum and see if you can get someone to make you a cab of their application. it might work
after this is done the next step would be is just to create a calander reminder to remind you to record

Thanks man, I'll do that . I'm ok with not having a scheduler attached, though it'd be nice. I'd really like to have the ability to hit a button and record though because sometimes there's some useful stuff on.
For example today they had a financial analyst on talking about GICs vs. Stocks vs. Bonds, etc..., and giving advice to someone on a situation almost identical to mine and he made some interesting points I wanted to remember to research further - luckily I was at home and had an old mp3 player that could record, but if I was out I'd just have to try to memorize it and probably end up just with confused recollections if I even remembered it at all. Missed a lot in the time it took to find the player though - just starting it from the Xperia - that would be awesome .
Thanks,
Peter

By the way, The Grizz, would it be the same application you were asking about in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493868&highlight=fm+recording or would it be something specific to the Atom Exec?
Thanks,
Peter
P.S. I see you were on the quest too man - good to know I'm not alone - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493761 - I did find the HTC/Diamond FM Radio App, which seems to work faster than the one with the X1 natively, but no recording, still looking around... Atom app seems to have scheduler, everything - would be awesome if we can just get this thing ported

I spent a couple of fruitless hours trying to find and fm_radio.cab or similar file for the Atom Exec - no luck, though a Chinese board seemed like it might have it, the page gives an error in Chinese when I tried to read it - either that the post doesn't exist anymore or you have to register or some such thing.
I found a couple of other FM apps that work, mostly for the HTC Touch HD and similar devices. I found about 3 others that don't work, giving various error messages about missing files or the Radio failing to power on.
I eventually searched for fmradio.exe and found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=284477
A lucky hit - "From O2 Xda Atom Exec..." - fmradio.exe + some dlls. I tried this on my X1 though and unfortunately I just get the message: "FM Radio requires Stereo Headset to be connected to function." I do have my headphones plugged in though. No idea if there is some way to get the app to bypass this check to see if the rest of it will run. It may also have something to do with where the dlls are - I just put all the files in my main Windows directory - no idea if they should be somewhere else, or if I should leave my original files as well. My X1 Radio is broken possibly from my previous 7 other apps tried - so this app might work if tried with a fresh flash.
So close

No luck, I flashed on WinMo 6.5 and then back to WinMo 6.1 with Jack's ROM - but I can't seem to get the O2 Xda Atom Exec FM Radio app to run. It just says that there is no headphone in the port. Is there a way around that or could I be missing some files? Or maybe I put them in the wrong path?
This is only one way to attack the problem - any other suggestions or ideas would be good as well.
Thanks,
Peter

A friend of mine lent me his Omnia, which can record with a click. I got all the files, but unfortunately it just gives an error that it is missing files or a trust certificate. I found the fmradio.dl file was hidden in the \Windows directory.
I found some other fmradio.dll files online for various Omnia models, but still no luck with those. It may be that they are not the right file for this program, or they are incompatible with the hardware. It's too bad I can't at least run the program, and then find the FM doesn't work. That would feel more satisfying then it not working at all.
So, so far no luck. Unless the creators of Power Radio here on the XDA forum do infact add FM Recording to their application...or we find another way?

Has anyone been able to find a way to do this on the X1? Or maybe perhaps the circuitry or software is different and it is possible on the newer X2 hardware?
Thanks!

I'm thinking, if it were possible, there would be an app for it. It's probably a hardware limitation of the X1 just like call recording. The output of the radio may not even pass through the CPU/chipset and goes straight to an output.

Resco Audio recorder records calls in X1
