Non-Owner Question for Those Lucky Enough to have 2.2 - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have the Incredible and will probably have to wait until the end of the year to see 2.2. I was hoping those of you lucky enough to have 2.2 could answer a question about 2.2.
Did Google fix the inability to hit the button on your bluetooth headset to trigger voice dialing?
Thanks!

Yes I believe so. Full Bluetooth support is now present which includes initiating from the headset. Can someone else confirm?

Sounds right. It also picks up the phone if it detects a bluetooth headset connect while the phone is ringing.

Yes. Press the headset button and the screen shows sample voice dialing commands while the headset says, "speak now." You say "call John Smith", the headset says "calling John Smith" and dials.
It's a little different from the way it was on Windows Mobile, where the phone asked, "Call John Smith?" and you had to say "yes" or "no," but you can still abort the call using the headset button if the phone misunderstood your command.
I haven't used it much, but it's 2-for-2 for correct voice recognition on the test calls I made.

ringtones only coming into bluetooth headset, how do i stop this?

I have a Tilt and am currently using the latest Hyperdragon III rom, but this has happened with several of the most recent roms.
it used to be that whenever i got an incoming call i would have both ms voice command announce the call through my bluetooth head set, while the phone would vibrate and play the ringtone through its normal speaker.
now, for some reason, in this latest batch of roms, i'm getting both the msvc announcement and the ringtone through my headset and the phone only vibrates. if i turn the headset off,then the phone rings like normal.
this gets to be a problem when i have the headset in my pocket, i start to miss calls!
has anyone else had this problem?
edit: also, something that's bugged me forever, the T key seems to always miss presses. i have to really jam on it to get it to register. if i'm not thinking about it, i'll send out texts and emails with no Ts in them at all! is there a software fix to this or is it a hardware issue?

Hardware. As to BT, I've always had that behavior (all sounds in headset), so don't have much to say, seemed normal to me.
I had that same problem, but I used the MSVCtoggle.cab and it switches it from headset to phone and vice versa.
I believe you need to go to "Voice Command" under settings > system, then select "Notifications"
There are settings that allow changes in how notifications are handled via your speaker and/or your BT.
Hope this helps.
The problem isn't the calls being announced via bluetooth, it's the fact that the phone now only rings into the bluetooth headset.
in previous roms, it used to be that when a call would come in, my phone speaker would ring and i would also receive the MSVC announcement via the bluetooth headset
now, in newer roms, the phone speaker does not ring, and i got both the ringtone and the msvc announcement via the bluetooth headset.
i don't want msvc to announce the calls via the phone's speaker
same thing happens with messages and the announce new messages feature. I get the sms read to me in my bluetooth headset, but the new sms tone also plays through the headset.
edit: if i turn off call announcements, then the phone rings through the regular speaker. i get no call announcements, but hearing the ringtone is much better! i'm using msvc 19965
same problem, please help , it is geting to be verry annoying (((
thank you
p.s. using tilt, original rom, voice comman 1.6.19214
very annoying voice comman problem
same problem, please help , it is geting to be verry annoying (((. if i take check mark out from phone checkbox, under setings voice command then it rings at a phone, but i cant use voice command to dile phone numbers. i say call "name " it finds it but doesn't ask < call "name" > , so it defits the porpose of voise comand.
thank you

voice dial through bluetooth headset?

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

Anyone get bluetooth voice dialling in froyo?

I've tried and tried with my parrot car kit, but nothing seems to active the phone (either the button, or the keywords), has anyone had any luck?

Typical, I really wanted this. I still get the same pairing problems (paired but not connected). Then after repeating the same process up to about 10 times is pairs and connects. From then on it's fine for receiving calls. But initiating them just isn't working for me.
So on the kits that work, how does it work, does it use the voice search (ie the one requiring a data connection) or the old style voice dialler?
Does it give you any confirmation before calling, just in case it's picked up the wrong person?
Works okay for me with a no-name bluetooth headset. I press the "attention/answer" button on the headset, the screen pops over to the voice dialing screen with some instructions, and the headset says "Speak now." I say, "Call John Smith". The headset says "Calling John Smith" and the dialer pops up and dials. It does not ask for confirmation, unfortunately (Voice Commander under Windows Mobile says, "Calling John Smith?" and you have to respond "Yes" or "No"); I guess they assume you can hit the "end" button and try again if it got it wrong. (I haven't used it much, but it's two-for-two getting the callee right on the test calls I've made.) I didn't check whether it needed a data connection or not; sorry.

For my car kit it does ask for confirmation. I guess it depends, which car kit do you have that your having contectivity problems? Foryo is much improved for me in that regard.

I've got a Parrot CK3000 EVO. Worked fine in windows mobile, but in eclair and froyo I do get it to pair and connect after lots of attempts, just can't get the voice dialling working.
I've ordered an updating kit for the bluetooth set in the hopes that a newer firmware for it may help. I'll update this once I've got it.

I also have a parrot evo 3k and I'm interested to hear what you find out.
Is there a consolidated thread with compatibility or test results anywhere?
I have CM 6.0 RC1 running on my G1
My Plantronics 340 seemed to work great for voice dialing, but my car kit and other BT pieces don't.
I did get think outside BT keyboard and BT mouse working
I am running CM 6 RC1 on a Dream, with a Motorola H700 headset.
I got them to pair up without any problem, and it seems to be working without a data plan or wifi connection.
However, I noticed a couple of issues:
1) The "speak now" prompt is extremely quiet, even with volume levels maxed out on both the phone and the headset
2) It only works if the screen is "awake", meaning I still need to hit MENU on the phone in order for my command to be acknowleged (not very hands-free, is it? hopefully this is a bug in Froyo that will be soon repaired!). This is a bad thing for me, 'cuz here in Quebec, you can get a ticket for inappropriate touching of a cellphone while driving.
3) If it thinks it has the right phone number, it says "calling {whoever}", and then proceeds to dial without further warning, which is dangerous since when it speaks the "calling" notification, that too is very low volume
Is this just my configuration? Perhaps a limitation of the Dream hardware? Perhaps (this is me dreaming in technicolor) a simple software setting that needs changing?

Scala rider intercom system voice dial

Hi,
I just purchased the scala rider intercom
its an intercom system for motors. I am having one issue with my N1 on voice dialing. I can give a command to voice dial and while the phone is "on" (that is, the screen is on) it works, kinda, it gives me the suggestions of the name I just said. when I press it on my phone it dials. ( so to be clear the input command is done by my scala head set.)
obviously this isnt how it should works. I need to give the command and not touch my phone at all. When my phone is "off" (that is, the screen is off) it does give a vibrate signal after I give the voice command, but it doesnt dial. I suppose this is because the phone wants me to choose and confirm the name i just shouted.
I tried adding 'mobile' to a name in my list. when voice dialing normally it only prompted the correct name (no other suggestions), but the nexus still wants you to confirm it. I cannot confirm a name while riding a bike so I actually want it to just call the first suggestion. its always right anyway.
the scala rider manual doesnt say anything, it just refers you to the phone's manual. but I cant get it to work.
I cant really test it on my 'normal' bluetooth headset, because it doesnt support any voice dial options.
does anyone know if I can force the nexus to dial the first suggestion? maybe someone has experience with voice dialing via a Bluetooth system and has another solution..??
any help is much appreciated.
Tom
I have a Scala Q2, however i have never used it for voice calls.
However have you tried to 'confirm' the call by pressing one of the buttons on you Scala. I think one is accept and the other is decline.

[Q] Bluetooth headset-initiated voice dial?

I searched and found only old information from last year on this...
Does anyone have bluetooth headset-initiated voice command dialing working with their Captivates?
If so, please tell me exactly how you are accomplishing this -- what bluetooth headset, what ROM, what apps, your procedure for initiating a call from your bluetooth headset.
I'm not interested in any procedure that involves looking at or even touching the phone itself. I need a solution that will let me place a call to the contact of my choice solely from my bluetooth headset -- just push the button on the headset, tell it who to call and reliably make the call to the contact and phone type (mobile, home, etc.) that I tell it.
I am currently using the new Andromeda ROM but would be very interested in hearing what new ROMs do this well.
Thanks!
I am running Paragon ROM and I am able to make calls through my car stereo via Bluetooth voice dialing. Leave the phone in my pocket, hold a button down on my stereo until the voice asks for a command, I then say "Call Contact". If they have more than one number it asks if I want to call them at home work or mobile. I say "Mobile". The voice then repeats "Call Contact mobile"
I am running Paragon RC5.1, but Bluetooth voice dialing has worked for me since I first flashed with RC3.
