Okay so I've gotten pretty spoiled now with the voice command on our phones. The one thing I REALLY wish I could do was turn the bluetooth on and off without having to go through all the work to get to the communications manager..(settings tab,then com manager, then bluetooth on or off... then closing it all down)
Is there something out there that is a direct short cut? I little .exe that will either turn bluetooth on if it was run or off if its run again? If not anyone with some skills want to make this happen? That would allow a quick shortcut in our applications tab AND for those of us who use voice command a quick way to turn bluetooth on and off. All we'd have to say is "Start bluetooth" or something. Best I've been able to do is say "Start bluetooth explorer" and it opens the bluetooth explorer...which yes works but I dont want that damn thing to open up AND I cant turn it off that way either.
If there is something out there similar to this I cant find it so maybe post it in this thread.
Thanks everyone!
BTonoff.exe
This is a little .exe that I found here on xda, so don't give me any credit. I looked and cannot for the life of me remember where I found this, so if whoever created sees this, I apologize for not giving credit.
Just put this unzipped .exe in the windows/start menu/programs folder and it will list as a program. You can then link the PTT button if you have a fuze, or to another quick launch program if that is what you are looking to do. I have mine set as an icon on the program launcher, and just click once and turns on BT, click again and turns it off.
If this is what you are looking for you can change from AP Request to AP Found.
This is a link to a cab file that I use called BT Toggle. The CAB file has "EkerB" in the name so I am guessing that is who the credit needs to go to. However I have been unable to find the original link back to the application announcement.

Installs like any other cab file and has worked flawlessly for me. I have my left softkey set to run it.
Here you go. I think,this exefile is made by BuzzLightyear(thank you). You need to write a pareter to commandline(or shortcut) "bsd" to toggle discoverable/off mode. It can also do some different modes using different parameters(which I don't know now).
You can also use this little app and set it to one of your soft keys. I have it seft to my left soft key and it works flawless.

I have posted This thread to assist anyone like me, who is not a programming whiz. Got to Install this mainly through trial and error and I am not an expert in this. So If anyone can make my steps easier please do!
This is a Variation Installation For a thread a while back in October 2005 Author Ncruz and effjay. Ncruz Posted a wm5 cab. This cab does not install directly due to permissions. However I have extracted the files using windows cab manager.
First are the files are required in windows. If it asks about permissions copy to PDA root folder then copy with Resco File Explorer and overwrite. Next are the registry files. You can import them with a registry program such as tre or regedit.
If you want Microsoft Voice commands to be the default program overwrite SSDialer.exe in windows folder with Voicecmd.exe from Program files/Voice command/ otherwise Cyberon Voice is initiated when you press headset.
I will post the cab in its entirity although it will not install, incase someone knows an easier method to get voice commands working Please contibute to this thread. However this method worked for me. Below in the zip are the files Extracted with Win Cab manager in zip format so you can copy zip to your pda then extract them to the correct folders, along with the registry files you need to import to registry.
N.B..sound of Voice commands is through PDA and not headset. Pressing headset connect button opens Cyberon or active voice command depending on what you have
Can not seem to be able to import the reg files....
OKay, got the files to import and the files copied - no go for me. Darn-it.
Installation
did you do a soft reset with the software built with the rom and repair the bluetooth headset
I might have reset without using the software reset....
However, got it working with this cab file that I found on my storage card. I even got MS Voice Command to work when I hit my BT Headset button.
Heck, it did not even change the record button to SSDialer! I would have thought it would but it did not. So, I am happy!
glad its working for you
now how can i do?

Then, when device auto turn off, bt still go off as before?

The only way I know how to keep BT on is by plugging in my Device to a power source and doing a soft-reset. As long as I do not turn it off with the power button or have it set to auto-power off while plug in, BT will stay on. I do this everytime I get into my car - since it takes me a hour [sometimes more] to get home, so my BT Headset always works.
Hopefully I explained that correctly for you to understand....
Odie
Your query confirmed. The Wlan manager icon from the today screen goes as a side effect of installing the cab. Wifi still works but the Icon in today is not there. Not a big deal for me, as I have skinned my Pda with Wisbar, which has a wifi icon.

Yes it happened to me as well, but i prefer BT Voice Command Activation than WLAN icon
Thanks for the info
BT activation doesn't work for me...
For some reason the activation through BT headset doesn not work for me.
I'm using WM5 TuMa 1.3 ROM.
The BA_WM5_Voice_Dialer_2.cab doesn't install on my device (permission violation), so I copied the files manually to the Windows folder.
The reg files also don't import to my registry when double-clicking, so I made the changes manually.
It still doesn't work.
Now, when I hit the button of my BT headset (Moto HS-810), the standard dialer is activated (instead of the voice command app) and I hear hissing sounds in the headset.
I tried it both with Cyberon and MS apps. Both don't work.
Did anyone encounter this problem? Anyone solved it?
Thanks.
anyone knpow how to do this with voice command on 2003se?
Just upgraded to TuMa 1.3 and have found a MUCH more simple way of doing it.
1) Install Microsoft Voice Command
2) Download Total Commander (http://www.ghisler.com/ce.htm)
3) Using Total Commander change the read only tickbox for \windows\sddialer.exe so that there is no tick (1 press just greys it out, i needed to press twice) <- browse to \windows in TC and right cick (hold down) on sddialer.exe, and click properties.
4) (you don't need TC for this) Copy %install dir%\voicecmd.exe (where %install dir% is the directory you installed voice command to) to a temporary location and rename it to sddialer.exe.
5) (using TC) 'Right click' on your new sddialer.exe (previoult voicecmd.exe) and select 'cut to clipboard' then navigate to \windows\ and 'right click' and select 'paste from clipboard', when propted overwrite the origional file.
6) press the button on your headset and test it!
the only thing we need now is for some clever person to work out how to route the voicecmd audio through to the headset instead of the load speaker (to my knowledge it uses the microphone on the headset allready (at least it works when i speak quietly from the next room )
it works like a charm
cheers
Do what Midlet says?
If I do what Midlet says- will I still need the 2 files that mohdwadea has posted? Is Midlet's process a complete stand-alone process... or is if preceded by more steps?

Have not investigated midlets way of installing as Mine is working. However i suggest that if you check your registry and see if the reg keys i posted within the zip are there. If his way works fine, if it does not i suggest you import the keys into registry and see if that helps. I also strongly suggest you make a note of the keys and where they are imported too, as if it does not work you can remove them.
It worked
Mohdwadea,
Your method worked! This time I performed a soft-reset after the installation and also re-connected the headset. I did not have to go he registry-entry route because the cab-file installed on my device.
This will help me a lot on the road in business. God bless you.
Just glad its working for you!
voice not sending
MOHDWADEA,
I am using this fix a lot on the road. It works very well... expect for in one situation! I can initiate voice dialing by the record button on my device and it accepts voice dialing commands through the bluetooth headset and teh call goes fine.
However, if I initiate the voice dialing using the button on my blueooth headset (Cardo Scala 500), it initiates the voice dial app just fine, accepts commands and conencts the call.... but the other party cannot get my outgoing voice through my bluetooth headset, rather it gets the voice from the mic on my phone. Also, the incoming sound can be heard in my bletooth headset but ALSO on the phone.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hello to all. I don't expect you to know the answers to all of these questions. If you know one or more, can you please reply. I've tried to search for about a week and couldn't do it, so if ya can help me out that would be great. Greatly appreciated!
1. I downloaded WifiRouter and did everything it said, changed my IP address, ran the program, created an Adhoc network and when I connect my laptop it says it's connected, which is a success, but it my laptop doesn't have an internet connection. The whole point is to share your internet via wifi using an Adhoc connection right? It's not working for some reason. I've tried this wifirouter program in hopes that I can share internet via my wifi with my friend's laptop.
2. I need a program where I can change the PTT button on the AT&T Tilt. I want to customize the buttons on the right and left of my AT&T Tilt to open up programs. I've searched and can not find the program.
3. How the heck do I change the default folder of My Documents to something else so when I'm sending files to my phone via bluetooth it goes to my storage card or a separate folder NOT My Documents? I want to change it to my Storage Card from now on. Can't find the program.
4. Where is the brightness fix for the HTC Home? I search and found one here on xda and it crashed my phone. The brightness icon does not work and I've tried multiple HTC Home's and the brightness just won't work on my AT&T Tilt. Does anyone know a definite fix. I heard it was some dll file that I have to replace.
Thanks

Hi, has anyone managed to install this, and get it to work? It doesn't install properly on my Diamond and I can only see settings for it, nothing under programmes.
I get an error along the lines of "programme not installed correctly" or something like that ... can't stand Voice Commander pre-installed.
Thanks, M.
same happend to me, but just ignore the mesage. it is installed anyway. afaik the icon for voice command always was under settings it never had one in programs.
i just installed it and it works fine, allthough it seems that the recognition is not as good as it was on my tytn. will see if it improves over time...
cheers

Interesting. I set the button to be key 1 (same as where voice commander normally resides) and yet when I press it I just get a single tone beep response, not the normal multi-tone initiating voice command one.
Haven't tried it with my bluetooth headset yet as the charge has run out on it!
Also, has anyone figured out how to remove the installed Voice Commander?
Thanks, M.
works for me!
vc1.6 i installed it 5 times and did not work after i assigned my only f))king button it just one beep not like used to 3 beeps so i create a icon in programs dir and then link button to that it works perfect. perfect recognition if anything better and faster than any of my previos pda's
MS VC 1.7 freezes Daimond to hard reset
I Posted in another thread, but it should indeed belong here :
Hope to see a working solution for MSVC soon , an official fix from MS would even do fine.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2323586&postcount=109
I flashed to Eslite 1.0, so i might give it another try now
I have MSVC 1.6 OK on my Diamond. It is true, that the installation tells me error when I install, but now it is OK. You can configure MSVC in Settings/Voice Command. Then:
1) you have to create link to voicecmd.exe (for example voicebtn.lnk), copy this link into \windows\star menu\programs
2) in settings/button assignment, you have to reassign long press of phone button to this new link voicebtn.lnk and now is MSVC functional

i even did not get so far.
I tried to install 1.6 build 17913 on TLR Rom, though it gave this "unrecoverable error" again.
Rebooting resulted in a brick when tapping "settings" which forced a hard reset again damned
Will stick a while to Cyberon Voice command, though I liked MSVC better.
I have used MSVC_US_PPC 1.6.19209.bengalih.cab from pda4x.
No problem after setting Button1 to MSVC.
@ vphk
How did you make that link? Sorry neub

How to open websites in opera using voice command
I'm running a german version of MSVC v1.60.46220 and it's running very smooth. I read the tutorials and configured it to meet my needs. Now I want to open websites with opera using a simple command like "Start xda-developers". To do this I created a link (.url) in a subfolder of programs. This works with Pocket IE. To open the site in opera I changed the file association for the extension .url to \windows\OperaL.exe "%1%. Now opera starts but the home screen appears instead of the site that is linked. help appreciated
I cant get the talking ringtone to work on my diamond.
I adjusted the settings so it should work without an headset.
Do you have to adjust the ringtone somewhere?

to create the link mentionned by rxdoctor in post #4 :
1 - from your PC, go to \program files\voice comand on your pda (via Active Sync connection), create a shortcut here (like you would do for a file on your PC)
2- move this shortcut to \Windows\start menu\Programs on the pda
Then the name of this shortcut appears in the drop down list of programs you can assign to the button.
Now I have MS voice command working fine
Good morning. I've read many threads on PTT but things changed in 6.1 and would like to know the following. I’m new to this. I’ve been waiting for the PTT config that is in 6.1 but it allows you to change PTT to everything except what I want. I would like to have the PTT turn on wifi with one push and turn it off with push and hold.
I know there are reg edits for 6.0 but now in 6.1 button six shows up in (buttons and assign program). Is there a list of available programs to assign buttons to in the registry? If so would it now be easier to replace a link in the registry for one of the programs I wouldn't use with the link to turn on wifi found in wireless manager?
I’ve loaded PHM and was wondering if any of the registry editors work from the pc with the phone attached? Can you export the phone’s registry to a file, work on it on your pc and then import or restore it back to the phone. My eyes are getting sore.
Thanks
Frank
Try a pm to hang.tuah, http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=273310. He has it in his ROMeOS ROM. He is also very helpful and kind.
thank you for the link
I sent him my issue and await a response.
This may help
I found a way to get closer to using the PTT button to activate wifi. In 6.1 you’re given the option to assign programs to button 6, the PTT button. Unfortunately Comm. Manager and turn on wifi aren’t options that you can choose.
By messing around I discovered that you can use file explorer and scroll down in Windows until you see the comm. Manager icon. Copy this and go back up to file start menu. Paste Comm. Manager into the start menu. Comm Manager will now show up on the today screen. You can then go to settings, buttons and Comm Manager will now be an available option. You can now also use voice command (start Comm. Manager) While it doesn’t turn on wifi it does allow you to hit the old PTT button and then hit the wheel or ok, or use the voice command.
Seeing as how nobody could help me with the below, how do I capture what process is started/ran when I click on my desired button. Perhaps I can make a custom macro/program that will do what I desire.
-----------------------------------------------
My phone is having issues syncing with my car radio. It only works if I disable and re-enable the gps every time I get in the car. Very annoying.
I discovered that if I just leave BT on, then goto my BT settings(menu->settings->Wireless&Networks->Bluetooth settings->long press my device->options-connect) and connect to my desired device that way it connect much quicker.
This solution is livable, just trying to figure out how to create shortcut icon on desktop of those actions.
Any idea?
Ok, lets try changing the query to see if I can get some help on this.
Use AnyCut from the Market to make direct shortcut.
