Hi to all just like to ask how do i make voice dial calls when the xda executive flip cover is closed i tried andd it did not work
you need to have at least one entry in Voice speed dial, and should not have the buttons locked. (which is a bit dangerous since there are a lt of buttons to be pressed inadvertedly..)
Alternatively, use the BT headset call/end button to launch the voice speed dial. Obviously BT needs to be on (blue LED flashing)
Hi lutz
I thought the same but even with the buttons not locked it doesn't work on mine. Still keep having to open the lid an inch or so :x
Can anyone confirm if it should definately work with the buttons enabled (start, settings, buttons, lock, do not lock buttons)

Somehow I managed to install MS Voice Command and is working OK.
But, one thing I cannot manage to solve, is using the voice dial button while the cover is closed. It doesn't do anything. It has to be open or the screen facing upwards.
Is there a solution or perhaps not?
Let's say you dialed. How would you talk to the person?
I am having the same problem.. it locks the buttons when lid is closed and there seems to be no way to unlock them... and, you can talk with the lid closed, for the guy who asked.
settings, buttons, lock. you can choose not lock the buttons when the device is closed
I am also suffering te same problem with voice command.
richard
they are all unlock, but still, voice command doesn't activate-
There has to be a way to trick the registry... but I'm no expert at all.
It's on my list of things to look at tonight.
I'll get to it when I've finished my real VGA hack.
Great! We'll be all awaiting your news.
as far as i know then the cpu is not active and normal programs are not running when ones device is turned off
so even if you unlock the buttons voice commander would not respond unless pressing the button wakes up the pda
Pressing the button does wake the device though. This is the bizarre thing.
If the device is off in tablet mode, it works fine.
If the device is off in closed mode, it doesn't work.
Pressing the button in closed mode produced the bing-bong sound indicating the VC is ready to accept commands but nothing happens therafter.
Was there ever a solutio found to this problem??? :shock:
Afraid not.
I'd love to find a solution to this too. I am convinced it is possible, because incoming calls do activate Voice Command with the XDA closed (it tells me who is calling), and the external buttons do wake the XDA when it is open.
But even though I have "do not lock buttons" selected, none of the external buttons do anything when the unit is closed.
I'd be very, very grateful if anyone could come up with a solution to this.
If you switch off in toggle mode then the device will respond after pressing the VC button. But if you have set pda up to close after a certain amount of inactivity, it will stop responding after that period of time expires.
So the solution is concealed under the way you switch off the device. I think if we found a way to switch off in toggle mode instead of suspending when pressing the on/off button, the we would found the solution. However, battery issues may come up...
on the right hand side of my Vario, i always press it by accident when picking up the phone and it makes that horrendous beeping noise, then I have to close it down.
Is there software to make the button do nothing when pressed?

simple eh? ta
Disable Cyberon Voice speed dial app completely?
I have a rom that came with that app, and I hate it with a passion. everytime I try to use MS Voice command to dial to dial a number with my bluetooth it interferes. anyone know how I can make it not work other than switching rom... I like this rom.
This is the deal.
I'd like to be able to remote control the music player in TFLO 3D. That means, 1 click=Play/Pause, 2 clicks=Next track, 3 clicks=Previous track.
The reason is as much as I like my HTC I don't want to take it out of its pouch, fiddle around with power button and flick the screen...
I've tried HButton and AEButton Plus (the latter works partially). I've managed to map the Volume up button for 1 click=volume up, Long hold=previous track. The opposite for volume button down. These buttons don't get locked in case I put the phone in standby and have the headphones connected. Works even with S2U2 if setup properly.
BUT this doesn't solve the problem. I have a perfect Hardbutton on the mic.
Now, The green button or call button is said to work just like the mic button. But that is not true. If I reprogram greenbutton with AEButton I still only get one option - HOLD mic = Voice dialer. Disable voice dialer and I have nothing. The hardbutton exists - but can not be programmed. And it is not the green button.
Anyone out there - come on... XDA forum unite. I can't be the only person annoyed with this lacking feature that existed on my Sony Walkman Casette player!!
How about using this? I have not tried it myself though.

Unfortunately, since the HTC Touch HD has been equipped with a 3.5 mm stereoplug the mini-USB connector is useless for anything than charging the phone... if you try to insert a USB headset - it tells you to use the steroeplug...
hello xda community
i'm very new to the blackstone and this is my first post here. so please bear with me if i'm asking very basic questions here.
my problem:
i carry my blackstone in my pocket all the time. and many people told me throughout the last days that they called me and that i picked up the call by accident.
since i work at customer sites mostly my phone is muted. so people call me and somehow i pickup the calls while the phone is in my pocket.
i always turn of the screen and i have the automatic lock (password protection) enabled. still when the incoming call screen comes up it looks like it is possible that calls are being picked up.
i know there is the slide which has to be moved to the left in order to pickup calls.
i have tried myself by calling my from my home phone and touching the screen and the buttons at random. and indeed the calls are being picked up. i was not able to find out how this is happening ... but it does.
so is there any setting i can change or any additional piece of software i can install to make sure calls are only answered when i want?
possible a reg key i need to change?
any help is very much appreciated
cheers
This isn't just a problem with the Blackstone; every WM phone I have had does this. I have found that a good locking program handles this quie well. I personally like S2U2 by A_C, but there are many others available. You can look in the apps forum, or check the development & hacking forum from the main menu.
The other thing to check is that you have all your notifcations set properly. I set all of mine to vibrate only. Many of them turn on the screen by default. Unfortunately this won't fix the problem on its' own though.
mwelch16 ... thank you very much for the reply
i will give it a try and see how it works for me.
so that means first of all i will have to slide that iphone type of lock and then take the call by using the regular slider?
is there any other way (without) an additional piece of software to handle this? cause after all there is the build in slider ... but somehow it's not working as it is supposed to. any enhancement to that?
thanks again
Is there a way how to disable the CALL PICKUP button which is on the left? so the first of the four buttons?
I think it's because it getting pressed while my phone is in the pocket.
thanks a lot
I use Pocket Shield - it's not free (free to try though) but it's worked well for me

No, S2U2 will unlock itself for a phone call and then lock the phone again after the call. So no need to slide to unlock and then answer your phone. It has a bunch of different settings, and yes I believe it locks the hard buttons.
thanks folks for the replies
i found all the settings i was looking for in the S2U2 options. so i'm good right now.
thanks again
You're probably answering the call by pressing the "phone" button (the very left of the four buttons on the bottom). You can either use those buttons to answer/hang up, or the on screen slider.
I've used AE Button Plus to disable the 'Answer' and 'End' hardware keys and re-mapped them to turn wifi and bluetooth off and on. This way there is no chance of hanging up on a call by mistake since you need to use the slide to answer on screen.
Similar but opposite problem
I'm having a problem along the same lines. If I get a call when the phone is in my pocket and answer it on my bluetooth headset, when the call ends the phone then rings someone else, usually the same person who is at the top of my contacts list. Not only is this damned annoying for me, it's getting a bit tedious for the person getting the unwanted calls.
Is there any way to get the phone to immediately lock as soon as a call terminates to prevent this happening? I'm assuming that once the call ends and it returns to the default contact/dial pad screen, the merest brush against the screen will be enough to start a new call.
I'm beginning to think I should have stuck with my iPhone

I've the exact same problem, 3/4 of the incoming calls rejected when I get the phone out of my pocket due to End button accidentally pressed.
What did they thought when they implement the slide to answer ????
The purpose of the slide to answer is to avoid such accident, but why the hell did they keep the Answer / End buttons active ????? total non sense to me.
Will check if this AE Button + app can solve this annoying behaviour.
has anyone tried Lockmelite?
It may help - haven't used it myself though.
x 2 for PocketShield. It uses the light sensor in your phone to prevent the touchscreen from activating when the device is inside, say, a pouch, or in your pocket.
I'm using evaluation version 2.6.2.10, which as I understand it, has full functionality, except that every now and then, randomly (and IMO infrequently enough to not be annoying) before unlocking it displays a 10 second message saying that you're using an evaluation version. Note that this *never* happens during an incoming phone call. Good stuff.
Hi,
Try TouchLockPro :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=444215
Now it handle light unlock in any cases, that as solved all my issues (pocket, in cas BT,...) and fulfill all my requirements.
BR
Pocket Shield doing perfect job for me
I use AE Buttons Plus to disable the "Answer" & "End" virtual buttons. Then I used iconsoft Phonext to handle all my calling functionalities. When a call comes in, Phonext display a lock screen which you have to slide before it presents you with all the options like answer, decline, silence etc.
This way, I never accidentally pickup a call or dial a number.
I've searched and can't find a setting so it comes on when I touch the screen. I have limited mobility in my hand so that would make a big difference for me.
THANKS!
I use a software called Cyberion Voice commander ( this may work as well with Microsoft Voice command as well ) and when i press the button on my bluetooth headset it would wake up the screen and then askk for me to submit a command. hope this tid bit helps as currently there is no touch screen to wake up. you either need software that runs in the background to wake it up via bluetooth etc, or you need to press the power button on the side. this is probably due to the way this phone works as well does many windows mobile's and if you could wake it up with the touch screen it could accidently get turned on just being in a pocket , or handbag etc.etc.
