Hi
Does anyone know a good software for use with bluetooth headset?
I want it to be activated by headset voice dial button and ask questions via headset.
Fonix that comes with O2 XDA does nothing from above or may be i dont know something about it?
It asked questions 'What number would you like to dial' via speaker while my bluetooth headset was active. And it cannot be launched using headset button.
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.
I have searched and cant find any general way to switch a phone call on my BT handsfree back to my Tilt handset. For instance, if I try to leave my car after starting a call on my BT handsfree, I have to end the call and redial it away from the car. I wonder if anyone knows a way to toggle the BT signal back to the phone handset so that it no longer plays through the car system. but do not disconnect the call. Thanks very much!

See this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321115 , post #4, for a small add-in to the phone menu that allows you to toggle bluetooth on and off while in a call. I've seen the website where this comes from, but can't remember or find it right now.
When in a call, goto Menu, there is an option to "Turn Hands-free Off".
Buy a decent carkit with this function. I have a bluetouch carkit and it has a button for private calls. So i can switch between the phone and the carkit.

Thats what I do!
Did you not notice it in the menu during a call?
Thanks very much
I appreciate the help - I am stuck with an internal BT system in my car that is vintage 2001 and has little flexibility - if I install a new unit, I loose teh system integration that was standard on the car.
I have searched and did not find the simple solution you all suggested - I am embarrassed that I missed the "turn-off hands free" option in Menu!! I will try this - hopefully it does not disconnect the call.
Thanks very much and happy holidays!
I was wondering if anyone has experienced the same problem I've been having. When I'm on a call using a "WIRED" headset (I know I need to get a BT headset) the call would be placed on hold without me touching the phone. Sometimes it would even place a call on its own. Whenever it would do this the Voice Speed Dial Screen would come on & beep too once in awhile. I don't have anything programmed in the Voice Speed Dial.
I believe the problem is coming from the plug from the wired headset that's connected to the phone. The headset that I am using is a HTC EMC220 Stereo Hands-Free Headset OEM. I tried wiggling the connector & it would either make a call or place the call on hold.
It's really annoying! Any fixes or suggestions?
Are you able to try a different wired headset? This would further help to identify the problem.

That is too bad b/c it sounds to me like it might the headset itself. Sorry I can not be more helpful.
Is there an app that will allow you to choose between the device or a hands free Bluetooth headset?
One of my favorite features of the iPhone is that when you are paired up with a Bluetooth device, and you receive an incoming call, you can choose to answer the call with the handset instead of the Bluetooth device. I would LOVE to have that functionality on my Kaiser.
Thanks,
Luke
huh?
when you push the answer button on your headset it uses it. when you press answer on your phne it uses the phone...
at least that is what mine does.

Same here.
When I have it paired to my car that's not the case. If bluetooth is on around my car, (Range Rover) and I use the answer buttons on the phone, the car system still gets the call, not the handset. I have to turn bluetooth off to get the call on the handset.
