Can I map standard (wired) headset button to execute some application, etc?...
I think I can do it in registry but I don't know how...
I've tried and tried to solve this issue. It's possible to reprogram the answer button on the phone with some 3rd party apps, but I was unable to get it to work with the wired headset button. I've scanned everywhere and to my knowledge it hasn't been successfully done on the magician.

Hello, Anybody succeded in activating voice command by pushing on the standard talk button of the QTEK headset? i understand there is a solution for bluetooth devices, but i tried with the standard headset and apparently it doesn't work...i am using the fantastic 2.8 ROM....
i am also intresseted to do that.
Did anyone found a solution?
It seems that the standard "Talk" button on Qtek's headset is only good for picking up incomming calls. It is not similar to voice button on the device. I've desperatly searched for registry keys to change that.
Did anyone have any luck?
Thanks,
Rostylsav
This didn't work for me, but it's easy to roll back. Pasted from Howard Forum.

Now you should be able to activate Micrsoft Voice Command by pressing the connect button on your bluetooth headset. My Scala headset beeps twice when it's ready for the Voice Command. My husbands Motorola headset beeps once when it's ready for the Voice Command.
Then you can also enable your bluetooth headset to receive music and other sound from your MDA by running the tweak "Enable Bluetooth Receive" using the Registry Wizard Program.
@glee719: This paste you did is about using Bluetooth headset for voice-dial.
The question is about the standard headset that goes with the Wizard . . . .
afaik the push-button on the headset works similar to the 'hook' buttons (green & red). Those do not trigger voicecommand either . . . .

Sorry to tell, it is not working for me, if i create a shortcut with "\Program Files\Voice Command\VoiceCMD.exe", and click on it, the voice command will lunch, however, putting the path in the reg, soft reset, press on buletooth handset doesn't work, any idea ?
By the way, how can we Set the microphone gain on the Wizard ? and how can we set the voice command to talk more and more louder ???
Yeah i'm interested to know how to make full use of the given headset, as i use it to listen to mp3 alot. The 'talk' button looks useless other than answering calls, unlike the w800i headset.
@rookery, this is NOT about the BT headset to activate VoiceCommand
Oh Sorry, did you mean the 2.5mm handfree, I don't have it in hand, does it work by the changing the reg key ???
hi to All,
useless to say i already tried the registry change for BT, and it didn't work for the STANDARD headset that is connected through the 2.5 mm jack. maybe, it is simply not possible.....
Is there a key for Talk button in the registry?
Does anyone know if there is a key for "Talk" button function in the registry?
We know there is one for BT headsets, but what about the conventional headset which comes with the device?
Anyone figure this out yet????????
Thanks
Please note that I am asking about the original wired/USB headset that is shipped with the Hermes, *not* a bluetooth headset.
Is there any way to assign a function (such as Voice Command) to the push-to-talk button on the wired headset?
There is a program available for the Wizard that does this:
"Talk Button Detector":
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=264308&highlight=talk+button+detector
Unfortunately this program does not appear to work on the Hermes, and the source code is not linked.
Any help is appreciated.
Have the same problem
I'd also like to use the genuine HTC wired headset (the one which comes with PDA) to make calls using Microsoft Voice Command. But the button calls embedded dialer instead of Voice commander. Any ideas how to fix this?
I'm looking for a way to progamatically set a bluetooth headset to use the wireless stereo profile using the .Net Compact Framework. I have contacted Peter Foot over at 32feet.net and he has added it to his wishlist for OpenNetCF. But in the meantime if anyone can help with this I would be appreciated.
I'm using the Toronado A2DP hack for my Apache and it works fairly well but everytime I turn on my headset, I have to go to the bluetooth settings and manually set it to use the wireless stereo profile. This is becoming quite dangerous while driving because it's not possible to do with the navigation keys (you must perform a press and hold).
On a completely different side note, if anyone knows how to perform a "press and hold" with the navigation keys, at least I may reduce my chances of wrecking my car.
Thanks - Mark.
The same thing happens with Jabra BT620s... I need to do the whole procedure which is quite long...
If anyone could make a simple click solution that would be great...!
A quick question: doesn't long pressing the play / pause button work?
No, it doesn't. The Play/Pause button acts like a single tap so it takes you to the edit screen.
I think I errored on my nomenclature. It's 'tap and hold', not 'press and hold', sorry.
Now, I'm a .Net developer so I need a managed code api to make this work for me, but if there are any CE Bluetooth wizards out there who could build a simple app where we enter and save the device name and you then set the device to use the wireless stereo profile, that would work too. I know there are lots of people who would love to be able to single click (or auto start) their bt stereo headsets. With this in mind, I actually have two different headsets that I switch back and forth so this app would need to handle multiple headsets (maybe just multiple instances of the app?).

No it doesn't. All we need to do is to simulate the action "Set As Wireless Stereo" through a program... Then with a simple click to set our headset as wireless stereo. I know it seems quite simple in my mind, but it isn't I guess...
SkierHiker I hope you can make it my friend...
I am having the same problem earlier but I had assigned a button to do the hold-tap and it had solved my problem since.
All you need to do is to go to the SETTINGS->BUTTONS and assign a button to "<CONTEXT MENU>" (I had assigned my START button to it).
Another way is to use a macro program called "SKSCHEMA" in which it would record the location where you need to do hold-tap and normal taps and then play back as a macro. A drawback is that the playback may not be accurate because it's based on time playback (tap here, wait for 3 seconds, tap there)There may be cases in which you are running some apps at the background thus causing your pocket pc to lag a bit.
I have the same issue with an i-tech s35 headset.
The setting of a button for context menu is a good idea but to be able to create a shortcut or better still have the headset default to wireless stereo would be great.
Hope someone can come up with something.
BT620s autoconnecting in wireless stereo!
I have applied the upgrade for the BT620s here http://www.jabra.com/JabraCMS/na/EN/Misc/Software620s and now the headset autoconnects and set itself as wireless stereo!
For anyone else with this problem try Mortscript. In the following thread there is a script which will perform the necessary mouse clicks automatically when your headset connects.

Thanks you so much!!!
It solved my problem....
didnt wanna create a new thread for this as its kinda connected to the BT320s.
Im wanting to buy a BT320s for my TyTN (ive applied all the various reg hacks to improve A2DP) is there a way i can test out my TyTN using my PC as the speakers???
Was hoping just trying to transmit A2DP to the pc would work?!
I have a T-Mobile Vario II. Included was a wired headset with in-line volume slider and push-button.
At present holding the button down for a few seconds launches the pre-loaded voice speed dial software. However, I have installed Microsoft Voice Command 1.6 and want to change this button to launch the voice command software instead of the Cyberon software.
I've been digging through lots of forums including this one and found many references to using BlueTooth headsets but not the wired one. Lots of them refer to the reg key [HKLM\Software\OEM\VoiceCommand\] Path. The path value doesn't exist on my device, and creating it didn't make any difference.
Has anyone found a way of changing what this button does?
I've read around and discovered that the HTC wired headset button only does pick up, and hang up. By pressing it twice it redials. I understood that a long press of this button can't be assigned.
I would like to change the double press option on the wired headset to activate Microsoft Voice Command. Is there a registry hack for this?
*Bump*
Or do I have to switch to a bluetooth headset.

Unless something has changed...I think the only way to activate MSVC remotely is to use a bluetooth headset. It is a pain if you use nice sounding wired headphones and still need to drag out your phone to make a call. I can't believe WM hasn't fixed this issue. I had a voice dial button on my Sony Ericsson P800 headset from ...uh...6 years ago??? I hope someone proves me wrong because I listen to music all the time with a wired headset through an iPhone headset/mic adapter.
Here you go, all done:

Thanks. I am now able to start MVC by double pressing the button on the wired headset.
I did so, by replacing:
\Windows\redial.exe
with a copy of \Program Files\MS Voice Command\voicecmd.exe
Now I can control my MP3's and dial whomever I want without reaching for my phone.
This didn't work with bluetooth redial.
Any ideas how to change the bluetooth redial command to something else ?
Nice one... was away to post the same question.
Glad I searched first
Thanks!
