[Q] [FROYO] JI6 Bluetooth Voice Commands - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've seen this question asked about a dozen times since the JI6 ROM leaked, but haven't seen it answered yet. Does anyone have Bluetooth Voice commands working in JI6? If not, how difficult would it be to pull that functionality from one of the i9000 roms that has it?

I have seen this question answered a couple times where it is not working for people. Give it time, things will get sorted out. But please next, time put the thread in the Q and A section. It is tough enough to keep this dev section cleaned up.

There is no VoiceDialer.apk in /system/app I tried the one from CM6 and it seemed to run when I hit the voice dialer on my BT. Unfortunately there is some disconnect because it couldn't "hear" (or "understand") a thing I was saying, I could hear the familiar hiss that the bluetooth had switched on though. I also tried Choice Dialer and it seemed to have the same problem. My suspicion is that the speech recognition toolkit is not working correctly in this beta.

Some Bluetooth Problems Some ROMs

My Apologies if this is in the incorrect forum but I have experienced problems with bluetooth and my Parrot 3100 incar bluetooth (newest firmware) with some of these ROMs. It is no fault of the ROM writers as it is with a certain windows version they use I am guessing.
Through a bunch of tests with different ROMs, by firstly going back to the Telstra HTC unit, all the Radios are fine with bluetooth and the Telstra ROM, but I have noticed that when you go to a different rom it may fail, Different Bluetooth Engines or drivers maybe I am not sure and no expert.
I noticed ROM's whereby Bluetooth configuration from Comms manager is done by clicking settings down the bottom only work OK. So if you click on the word bluetooth and the bluetooth switch turns on/off chances are it will work, if you must click on the switch to turn bluetooth on/off it may cause issues wth some devices.
So for thoe who know more about the differences, Telstra and KWBR (AKA A_Touch_of_HD) ROM's worked and most of the others (Dutty and EnergyROM were my most recent tests) wouldn't pair what so ever.
So if you are having problems, my siggestion, go back to your orignal ROM and get it working then start again with flashing these much improved ROMs.
If someone can explain maybe what the difference is between the versions is it would be great and allow us less competent people to keep experimenting with your newer creations.
Oh and BTW guys I have tried a lot of these ROMs and thank you for making this phone worth the money. If I was stuck with the telstra ROM chances are, I'd be using a phone for Calls and Text messaging only eek
All you developers are doing a great job

have you tried the may 22 NRG rom yet to see if that fixes your issues?
no i havent tried it yet. I was hoping it was just some kind of setting that i can change that will make it work.

Your best bet is to either ask in his rom thread or ask NRG over twitter.
Ive asked in his thread and ive got no response. Another person also stated how they are having the exact same problem. Maybe the answer will come soon enough.
You need to ask in the Energy thread though, even if you're not getting an answer there (which I understand must be frustrating). If everyone started a new thread when they didn't get an answer in the relevant thread, then ...

LEAKED *7/27* Stock 2.2 ROM - **CONFIRMED BUGS**

The original thread is a complete mess and it's impossible to find posts detailing CONFIRMED bugs. Let's try to keep general discussion of the leaked 2.2 ROM in the original thread and use this thread for bug reporting.
THIS IS NOT FOR HELP/PROBLEMS WITH INSTALLATION OF THE LEAKED ROM. Only post here if you have the leaked ROM up and running and have encountered a bug.
Post here you think you have found a bug. If it cannot be repeated by multiple users, it's not a confirmed bug, but more likely an improper installation or software conflict of some sort.
If a potential bug is posted by someone and you can repeat it, please quote the original post of the bug report and "Confirm" in body of your post. If multiple people can confirm that they can repeat the bug, I'll update this post and list it. If someone posts a bug and you know a fix, quote their post with your fix (or link to thread with fix) in the body of your post.
I'll try to keep this OP updated with a list of CONFIRMED bugs and fixes if one is known. If your bug is already listed here, please don't clutter up the thread by posting it again..
CONFIRMED BUGS:
1) Some purchased apps will not show up in the Market. Fix here
2) Multiple reports of recording in 720p in the camcorder causing a FC or screen freezing
3) Multiple reports of problems with MMS:
a) Handcent seems to work fine (no reported problems with MMS)
b) Stock Messaging appears to be hit-or-miss (MMS works for some, not for others)
c) Chomp seems to work for some people, not for others
4) Original Gmail app has some issues, puts a 0 at the top of messages and gets messed up during some replies. Fix:Install working gmail.apk (Fix here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=738188)
5) Browser FC when hitting the back button while inital page is still loading (confirmed by multiple users)
6) Streaming Audio Quality: "decline in audio on pandora as i listen to it bluetoothed to my stereo and now the sound has a major decline in quality" FIX: there is a patch for that works, but it hurts the Quadrant benchmark score. the linpack score remains the same and the phone still feels just as fast though. Fix here. Use the UPDATED fix, not the original one (original one is only for fixing Market)
7) Swype: multiple users report that Swype will stop working (cannot "swype", only tap keys) after reboot. Others report no problems. Sounds like a Swype install problem for people having trouble? FIX: Toggling Input Method off Swype and back on Swype seems to fix the problem.
8) Multiple reports of data connection dying off. lower bars on data then dropping from 3g to 1x speed. Intermittent WiFi connection dying as well.
9) Multiple users report poor battery life
4) Original Gmail app has some issues, puts a 0 at the top of messages and gets messed up during some replies. Fix:Install working gmail.apk (Fix here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=738188)
Beat me to it, but theres the link to the thread that fixes it.
Making more threads about the same things makes it even harder to find information.

very true !!!
If someone sends me a list of confirmed bugs and fixes then I'll add it to the main thread.
lets mention the streaming audio quality. there is a patch for it that works, but it murders the Quadrant benchmark score. the linpack score remains the same and the phone still feels just as fast though.
I've had 3G not turn on from a reboot now twice. Had to reboot to get it to work.
hrm
I couldn't get backup assistant to work, it won't connect.
delete my post please
Sending is fine. That's my fault. I'm an idiot.
Browser FC when hitting the back button while inital page is still loading
My phone has been running slower and hotter since flashing the 2.2 leak
Maybe add to #4 about Gmail that once you copy the fixed gmail.apk and reboot, you may get infinite Force Closes from Gmail. It happened to me. The fix is to go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> All -> Gmail -> Clear data. Then you'll have to open Gmail twice to get it to work.
When connecting to a PC with a data cable, and going into disk mode, I am only able to access the phone storage, and not the sdcard.
I have received a few MMS messages in Chomp tonight and they have worked fine. Not sure what that bug is about?
Quick question, does anyone have the ACTUAL 2.2 OTA update that is signed and completely untouched from HTC that would flash using a stock recovery? All we seem to have is the modified / rooted version, ide like the legitimate copy if possible

Of course its out there. However you won't have root if you use it. The rom is EXACTLY the same as if you applied the OTA. Except a little older radio and you get to keep root.
Plus it has the same bugs... At least VZW/HTC knows what bugs this has, 5300 beta testers so far. The official OTA should be flawless.
Anyone else having an issue with Wifi? I installed the new radio, rooted and installed 2.2 as advised. Everything appears to be working fine for me (camera, Market, etc..) but when I attempt to connect to the same router that was working when using 2.1 it keeps looping at 'Obtaining ip address ...' but will never establish a connection. I googled Froyo 2.2 wifi obtaining ip address and got several hits for other phones running 2.2 but nothing so far for the Incredible. Any thoughts? Anyone able to get wifi working?

I never once had any issues with wifi. Grab the logs and send 'em to me and I'll see if I can find anything.
I'm noticing an interesting thing with Swype. After most reboots I can not "Swype" only use the keyboard. The workaround is to change my input method back to the stock keyboard and then back to Swype and it works fine. Anyone else noticing this?

[Q] Question: AT&T Captivate Audio + GPS Help!

Hello all!
I'm a newbie here on the forum so forgive me if I ask a silly question...
I just got my Captivate from At&t for christmas and tho I love the device I do have a few issues I'm hoping someone here might be able to help me with. I've searched for answers for a while, and though I've found a lot of resources, I'm not quite sure what's the best way to achieve the results I want. I'm not much of a programmer so I'm hesitant to tear into re-coding anything, which seems to be fairly common with customizing the Andriod systems
1. - I purchased the OEM car mount, and tho it wasn't mentioned on the site, anywhere, I'm sure everyone is aware that the Audio Out on the mount doesn't work unless you're running Froyo 2.2 (a lovely note they decided to add on the back of the mount but not anywhere in the specs online).
Regardless, it's quite a nice mount and after researching online I tried to do the Froyo Update posted here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=797282 : to get the audio out to work with the mount... however it wasn't a success.
I also came across the issue with this update that the headphone jack on my handset wouldn't work with phone calls anymore...
So since then I have reset my system to stock using the Odin Master Clear.
Now, I've tried searching online for anything about getting the OEM Car Mount audio-out to work... but have yet to come across anything besides people complaining about the cost.
Any ideas?
2. - I have noticed the stock system's GPS is a bit sluggish and not quite as accurate as I had hoped. I know there are tons of posts on here to fix it but most of the ones I've read require rooting the device or reworking the coding...
Could someone please point me to an easy to read reference for fixing the GPS?
3. - This may be simple but, what's the best and easiest way to remove At&t bloatware?
4. - Is there a hack or app to enable the camera shutter button to work off the power button or volume buttons?
That is about all. Thanks for reading if you've made it this far. I appreciate any help or direction anyone might be able to give me.
Like I mentioned earlier... I've been trying to research how to do these upgrades on my own, but with all the different options available, and my first attempt not working so well... I'd much rather ask for help then bumble around and break something.
Thanks in advance!!
Nobody's got anything?
I'd at least think there'd be some insight on the Car Mount Audio issue... beings there's posts and posts of people complaining about it yet I haven't read of a ROM or tweak to fix it.

[Q] Rogers Samsung Captivate and Bluetooth Voice Command Dialer

Well i've been doing a bunch of stuff to my phone to get things humming along, but the one thing that hasn't worked at all is Bluetooth Voice Command Dialer.
I've tried the native bluetooth voice command dialer, and the following apps below:
Vlingo Virtual Assistant
Choice Dialer
Bow Tie
The bluetooth handsfree that i am using is the Samsung WEP200 and I own 3 of them and all 3 of them don't work.
When i mean don't work, i hit the command button and it would prompt with the "Bluetooth Voice Dialler" prompt and I try to speak but nothing is happening. The audio routes to the bluetooth, but i suspect the mic isn't.
Bluetooth calls and call last caller works, but that is it as it is basic bluetooth capabilities.
So at the moment I am stumped and wondering if anyone out there got it to work and what your handsfree is.
I have noticed the same problem. Is your phone a Rogers Captivate using Kies to update or it's an ATT Captivate using Odin to flash rom?
I have i897 AT&T and Odin flash and I notice this issue. When I was on the Rogers ROM 2.1, my bluetooth wouldn't pair. Now on 2.2, I can pair and call using BT, but voice dialler doesn't seem to have the mic on...
I tried bluetooth mic tester app and it didn't record anything via bluetooth.
I'm using the Rogers Froyo over Kies. It took me forever to install it since i had to repair my nv_data.bin.
This problem plagued me from Cognition 2.3b8 as well. To date I haven't had a Froyo install that worked with Bluetooth Voice Command Dialer.
If anyone out there that had the bluetooth voice command dialer to work on their captivate I'm all ears. I am thinking maybe it is because my Samsung WEP-200 is too old?
BTW, I'm using Jawbone Prime.
I also tried other apps vlingo and all those none seem to be able to capture mic from BT when voice dialing. I can have voice conversations using my BT, but no voice dial.
Well I think it might be a general issue with Froyo and Samsung Captivate in general, regardless of Froyo custom builds. If someone else has it working on a specific ROM i am all ears.
Later tomorrow I will contact Samsung Support and ask them about this, because this is really stupid.
Just wonderful. Well, I hope that's not your true official Froyo. If so, Samsung is just killing me. I've been running I9000 Froyo ROMs because the first nor second Cappy Froyo leaks don't have this functionality. This is the one function I want Froyo for more than anything else. I hate to say this, but my iPhone 3GS worked perfectly (you know what that means: I could voice dial over Bluetooth, but the call wouldn't stay connected!!). I just hope this is not an indication that Froyo for Cappy - if it ever is released - will not have this functionality. It just keeps getting better with these guys.
Any updates from Samsung?
well i called samsung social hub support. Their official answer it isn't even a feature of the phone. Also they are aware that the bluetooth voice command dialer is broken on the phone and isn't supported.
I've requested they have it as a potential feature in the future as it is bylaw in some provinces and states that people use bluetooth voice command dialer.
Well this only puts one more nail in for samsung...
Also this could be related because of their stupid bluetooth stack, but there isn't much more I can find on this.
I hope this information is helpful to those looking around.
I've had it successful on two or three different ROMS. But I can't remember which for sure.
I think it worked on one of the Perception ROMS; It doesn't come on Assonance ROMS.
Something that I have done on ROMS that don't come with the Voice Dialer, I use Blue Tooth LAunche. I'm using it now on Assonance 5.2 You can configure it for what you want it to connect to.
It may take a bit of experimentation on how to configure it. When you go into the list of apps to configure, it lists all the various activities of the apps, and you need to select the right one. For example, to bring up Google Voice Search, I have it using com.google.androd.voicesearch.recognitionactivity.
Google Voice Dial
I had the same issues on Assonance 5.2. What I did was take the voicedialer.apk from Perception 9.5 and installed - that worked for me.
I have attached the apk for you, I can't for the life of me remember how I had to install it though.
I had a lot of dropped calls on Assonance and didn't realize at the time that I could just update the modem - live and learn I guess.
I just downloaded the voice dialer.
I actually have it at home, but not sure if same version. I tried to install it on one of the ROMS (I think Assonance) and was unsuccessful. I probably tried using Root Explorer. I don't think I tried just dropping it in the Apps folder. But not sure.
I'm installing Cognition 3 as I write this. We'll see how things go on that.

I'd try this but it wont let me install over system apps lol. Anyone know how to do it? BT dialing doesn't work on my rogers 2.2 either.
Well the bluetooth launch + vlingo voice works (the one from samsungs apps)
I've tried updating the voice dialer.apk from this thread, and this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780687
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=908492
No luck.
I think if we wanted to use the native bluetooth voice dialer we need to update some system libraries and also the apk file. Thoughts?

I am hopping that when the AT&T update happens we may be able to get the files we need to get the Rogers version working...
I also tried with the VoiceDialer.apk provided in this thread and no luck. Also tried the 09SEP-VoiceDialer.apk and no luck.
I do agree that there is some system libraries that need to be updated, since there are claims that 09SEP-VoiceDialer.apk worked with others.
Since we can have conversations with our bluetooth, it's not an hardware issue. It's something with software.
Same issue here with rogers captivate.. I deleted the dialer to see what happens, and the button on my headset now did nothing, but if i held it in, it would call the last number dialed. I flashed it back to factory and got my app back, and the button brought up the bluetooth dialer again, but it doesnt work. And now pressing and holding calls voice mail again.
I wish they had a settings section to assign the button presses to applications without 3rd party apps.
I hate how rogers and samsung are washing their hands of the issue. they wont take the phone back. Its illegal here to use my phone while driving. I got the phone on the 11th. I am still waiting for the accessories I bought to arrive, everything from a desk dock to car dock, spare battery.. all OEM.
If they don't get this right, I wont be buying more products from them.
I have more faith in you guys finding a solution than them.
Same problem and I think NONE of the Bluetooth mic works on Voice Command on Froyo roms for my Captive. I've tried the AT&T leaked Rom and also the Cognition 3.04, NONE of them support Bluetooth voice dialing but no problem for normal phone conversation. Now that is EXTREMELY ANNOYING!
iPhone 5 for sure! No more Android suckers!
Just wanted to pipe in that I'm in the same boat and pretty mad at sumsung/rogers for not including bluetooth voice dialing! Is this 2011 or what?
I just bought some very expensive bluetooth headsets for my motorcycle and now find out that my brand new "state of the art" phone can't voice dial with them?
Hopefully someone figures this out. I'm counting on someone being way smarter than I am with this stuff
Man, after having this phone for 6 weeks now I'm starting to wonder why I switched from my WinMo phone. For all the hype of Android and the criticism of WinMo, there are a number of things, like voice dialing over BT, that just plain worked on my HTC Tilt 2. And I'm finding that WinMo was a lot more customizable (and a lot easier to work with) than what Android allows me to do. If it weren't for the gorgeous screen and capacitive touchscreen I would go back to my Tilt 2 and sell this POS Samsung device.
