Hi guys,
This is my first post so please be gentle with me!
I have an HTC Diamond and have just bought a Bluetooth motorbike helmet, the helmet has 1 button on it. If i press and release the button the helmet tries to connect to another helmet (disconnecting from my phone). If i hold the button for 2 secs it dials my most recent contact.
Is there any way to make the diamond launch MSVC instead of dialing my last? I know there are various hacks to swap from voice dial to MSVC, but these are no use to me as the helmet never launches voice dial.
Thanks in advance!
P.
I bought a Motosonic device on ebay for my helmet. I have a separate button for connecting to another helmet (3 buttons in total). On mine, one button calls the last if held for 1 second or inits MS voice command if held for 3 secs.
This is without touching the phones settings, therefore it's an issue with your controller, namely not having enough buttons to do the feature!
I guess firmware could swap the button so it doesn't dial last and inits voice command but I'd try the manufacturer for that one.
I have two interphone units on my two helmets. I can connect to my phone and then use 1 press to active MSVC recognition or I hold it down to connect to the other helmet.
What type of BT helmet have you bought?
Thanks for the replies.
My helmet is a Viper RS121.
If I hold th button for 5 secs it turns off, haven't tried holding it for more than 2 and less than 5.........hmmm...
....bugger anything between 2 and 5 secs dials last....
It has to physically support voice reg over the hands free / headset profile.
Voice command works fine through the helmet mike / speakers. I just can't activate it from the helmet. I have used VITO voice2go but it's not as accurate or easy as voice command.

I use a Starcom and their BT unit with mine. More expensive solution but gives you other functionality as well

Hi guys, looking for some help as i'm getting a bit confused.
iam trying to enable an audio gateway from my spv1500 (alpine) with my bluetooth carkit which is a parrot 3000evo. The carkit as default will open a gateway (headset icon has wiggly lines inside and all audio is played through carkit) when the answer 'green button' is pressed on the car kit. However once the carkits voice activation is enabelled this feature no longer works. So i'm trying to enable it from the phone.
The bluetooth toggle and Vj jobbie dont work, presumabley due to the fact that its a widecom stack not the ms one right?
So is there a way of doing it? There is a file in my windows directory labelled BTAudioGW which seems promising?
cheers, Jason
I have the Broadcom stack on my Alpine, and the cheapo headset I bought from Tesco (yes, Tesco, don't laugh, I got it for a song as I was working there again over last Xmas ) has a button on the side. I can use the button to mute or hang up a phone call, I hold it down to turn the headset on/off - but if I just press it quickly whilst not in a call, it enables / disables the audio gateway so I can hear all system sounds (including TomTom, etc) plus it'll still accept calls as usual.
Really don't have a conclusive solution for you I'm afraid mate, just pointing out that I have a Broadcom stack and it always works fine, even if I use voice activation or not (I only used it once, immediately hated it and got rid of it entirely)... What happens when you run the BTAudioGW exe?
When i run the app it says "failed to open bt audio gateway".
Like i said my carkit works the same as your headset until the voice tags are turned on (runs on carkit not phone) then it wont open a gateway via the button. It's annoying because obviously the phone is capable, just need to find a way of controlling it from the phone (mimiking whatever signal the button on the headset sends when it opens a gateway)
Let me know if you have any ideas..
Been trying to solve this problem for a while, noone seems to have the answer.
i have recently installed MS voice commander (wonderfull software btw), but i find it useless since i cant use it when i most need it and that's when the phone is in the pocket and i have handsfree plugged in (the cable).
the button can do only 3 things by default. pick/hang up calls and redial last number.
is there any way to map a program to it? so when i either press and hold or better yet, press it once i get voice commander running?
I use Bluetooth and I hold the button down and MS command comes up.
What brand of headset are you using?
i use the standard hands-free that comes with the phone. I've tried a number of solutions for Bluetooth devices but none of them worked.
this headset connects through the usb port at the bottom of the device. cant find any way to even detect that button from inside the device.
what you have on your BT looks like exactly what i'm after. with voice commander it's possible to use most functions of the phone without touching it, but it's pointless if you need to get it out to start VC in the first place.
I may not be of any help here as I have not used Voice Commander but..
If you go to 'Settings' 'Voice Speed Dial' you will see a tab at the bottom for Application.
I just use this as it responds to a single press from any headset.
Soz if I'm intruding.
not quite what i need. i want to call voice commander directly with the button.
it would've been easier if i could already run voicedialer or any other program from the headset. but nothing works.
Hello I wanted to know if there was a way I can remap the option to transfer my call to one of the buttons on the kaiser. I always have to do it manually during my phone call by clicking menu then "turn hands free on" on my phone while driving or by pushing a button on my car then speaking "transfer." I don't have a navigation screen on my 05 acura tl, so i don't have that easy push button on my car to transfer my call between my phone and car like the new Lexus's. I just want to be able to push ONE button on my Kaiser to transfer the calls between my phone and by car without having to do all these steps while driving. Thanks in advance!
i got you.... PhoneAlarm has a setting on it for profiles, one of the profiles being "Car"
set "Car" to enable Bluetooth AND activate headset - it can be done because that's what i do in my 04 Acura RSX (Honda Power! haha)
good luck and enjoy the one touch setting!
One annoyance I've found with my Fuze's call status screen is I would have to go to the menu to turn hands-free on/off.
The fuze's got a long menu thanks to AT&T's PTT craps, so i would have to click menu -> scroll up -> click hands-free to transfer call between handset and my headset.
My wife's got an iphone and the Speaker Phone icon turns into a select source (forgot the exact name and can't find screenshot online) button when bluetooth is detected, clicking the button brings up a list to select "Speaker", "Phone" or "Bluetooth" which easily transfer call to any of the 3 places.
Anybody know similar solutions for WM6 or anything at all that would transfer call to/from bluetooth with button clicks?
Thanks in advance

Search for the diamond dialer skin, install it and it will do what you are wishing.
Thanks for the reply
I've found these skins and will try it out.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=403484
But I don't find mention of the "Hands-Free" button?
Try this .cab I think its more of what your looking for.
It's very pretty skin but it's just a skin.
To move the call to/from bluetooth headset i still need to click menu, find "Turn hands-free on/off" and click on it.
On the iphone, this is readily available via 2 button clicks.
So if you're headset is connected (via bluetooth) it doesn't automatically answer with the headset? I've only had my fuze for 2 days so I'm still getting the hang of it. But I do have a bluetooth hands-free stereo in my car, and if I get a call it picks up automatically with the car's hands-free. But I guess it would be nice to be able to quickly switch back to the handset during certain calls so that passengers don't have to hear the conversation.
There is nothing I've seen that will give you the connection options on a big button on the screen while in a call, only speaker phone. You already know that you can route it back to the phone with the menu option, but you can also route it back to the headset just by touching the answer button on said headset. I realize that won't help you if you want to go from headset to speakerphone, but if you hold the answer button on the phone with an incoming call, it should put you straight to speakerphone even if there is a headset attached.
But again, there is no app I've seen that gives you a button to switch the call to any source you choose.
Thanks, I think this is the answer I need - using the right hardware buttons the right way at the right time.
It's not as convenient as having one button to switch calls to different places imho but I guess it doesn't bother many people since I don't find this feature request anywhere.
Hi all
I've searched the forum and couldn't find a solution to this.
I need to be able to activate voice dialing through the bluetoth headset call button so that i can call someone while i'm driving without having to look at my x1.
in my old tytn, i installed voice commander 1.2 and assigned it to the left side memo button. when i pressed the Bluetooth headset button once, it would open the voice commander and route the mic through the headset, so i was able to say the name into the heasdset.
but in my x1, a single click on my BT headset doesn't do anything and a long press only redials the last number.
i couldn't find any simple way to...
1-click on the headset button
2-voice commander activates and routes the mic to the headset
3-the voice commander takes my command and dials the number.
the closest i came to is to assign voice commander to a hw key on x1 not the headset buttn and when i press it, i must say the commande in the x1 mic not the headset.
so. to cut it short....any body was able to dial using the bluetooth headset?
I use Voice Command, that allows voice dialling through my Jawbone Headset.

MSVC does by replacing the the dll with it's own.
My rom also does by replacing dll from HD.
Me too, I use MS Voice Command with SonyEricsson HBH sets and all work by pressing the button on headset which brings up the mic from voice command to command-the-phone

MS Voice Command 1.6 here. It works about 75% of the time. Sometimes it doesn't work. No idea why.
Of course, I also have no idea why the Bluetooth disconnects randomly, for no apparent reason.
The same Parrot CK3100 works 100% of the time with a Nokia E71-2, and it works 100% of the time with an old Motorola Q9h.
No idea what the freak is wrong w/the Xperia.
Both the Voice Command issue (25% failure) and the Bluetooth disconnection happens with both the X1a and the X1i that I just sold.
Yes of course, if the bluetooth doesn't work then the bluetooth voice command cannot work. There was this bluetooth disconnect issue with the fw R1A but should be better with the fw update to R2A.
Did you update your phone yet?
As long as my headset is connected, voice command works 99.9%.
did you just install MS voice commander and it worked straight away? or did you change any settings or do any button assignments?

I'm on the UK R2A that was dated 20 Feb 2009. Bluetooth is still buggy.
There still seems to be some occasion that the phone goes into some kind of standby mode that causes Bluetooth not to be instantly available, and no doubt this affects the performance of Voice Command.
But, having said that: There are still times that you know the phone's not in standby, and Bluetooth + Voice Command is still buggy. Sometimes the phone responds with the Xperia speaker, and sometimes the phone responds w/the car speakers, and there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it.

I did not have to do anything special to get it to work the way that I wanted, except to assign the right silver button to Voice Command.
Can anyone tell how to make voice command or voice2go work with bluetooth headset?
Can you use all the available commands of MSVC?
Hi all, I have also installed the MSVC on my Xperia and the voice dial feature works fine, but I have tried to use other voice commands (just say "help" for a list of available commands) like "What time is it?" and it doesn't work.
Has anyone else tried it?
Update: I figured it out: you have to enable the "Status" option in MSVC settings!
MS VC R3AA013 & Jawbone Prime
Hi All
Had MSVC 1.6 on my x1 (R2a), all working fine, just been given a Jawbone Prime (thought result), BT linked up no worries. Tried to use MSVC over BT & not a thing. Can make a call manually n Jawbone picks it up, can use VC on my phone n Jawbone will pick it up, but picking up my phone with a BT sort of defeats the object of the exercise. Have looked all over XDA, and get a mixed impression, does a BT headset work with an X1 & MSVC?
Tried a couple of registry tweaks & nothin & I've now updated to R3 to see if that makes a difference but no joy.
Have I missed something here? Or am I just special?
I missed something!
I was using the wrong button, gotta use the assassin button & not the talk button. D'oh.
Having same issue as original post. WM6.5 w/ voice command loaded. Can't get bluetooth headset to initate voice command prompt. I have had to attach it to one of the buttons on the phone - but not ideal b/c of the incoming handsfree laws here.
Any suggestions?
Ok so I'm having a similar problem here. I have the X1a with WM 6.1 and MS Voice command 1.6 and my bluetooth is a Nokia BH-212. My blue tooth has a volume rocker and one master button for all functions. My issue is that yes I can answer with my bluetooth by pressing once, I can hang up the same way. If I press twice quickly it redials the last number. However when I hold the function button for the right amount of time (you get a long tone) it is supposed to activate the voice command prompt but instead i simply get the dialer on my screen. No prompt, nothing.
I have looked into the phone as much as I can to try and find something with no luck. I am a newbie so please be gentle. I just want that feature to work and my phone will do almost everything I want it to. Thanks all
