Hurrah, I got the Bluetake Stereo headset (BT450Rx) for christmas! And was hoping to be able to use it in mono and with voice commander until they released the A2DP profile...
However I think I must be doing something really stupid as I can't make it work! I have paired it with the MDA Pro... (Headset profile)
I can answer phone calls and end phone calls using the button on the headphones, and get sound through during calls... However I cannot get the button to do anything else! I was under the impression that if I pressed the call button on the headset it should start the SDDialer.exe or VoiceCMD.exe depending on what you have it set to in the registry... However it does nothing but beep in the headset (not the blips of either peice of software) and nothing happens... Have I missed something??
Anyone able to help??
Andy
edit the registry
from an old post on this forum, rilot offered the following and it has worked for me:
"MS Voice Command activation from BT headset
Now this one is sweet and makes the JASJAR the daddy for voice commands.
Install Voice Command to the default location.
Fire up a registry editor
Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\VoiceCommand
Modify the string marked "path" from the default \Windows\SDDialer.exe to \Program Files\Voice Command\VoiceCMD.exe
Now, when you press your BT headset connect button, MS Voice command will fire up and take commands through the headset. It's reponses will be played through the headset too. "
Hope it helps.
Thanks... I have tried this already and it should change it from responding to the Cyberon dialer to the Microsoft Voice Command... However mine is responding to niether!!
Any other ideas? Am I supposed to do anything to the other two keys in the VoiceCommander group?

got the bluetake bt420ex h/s for xmas and with the i-mate k-jam i can initiate commands from the talk button on the headset, just using k-jam as supplied.
i know this is not much help, but it shows it will work.

as abov has anyone found a way of doing this in running in basic mode using a jabra bt 250v and would like to get the tt5 voice through the headset im probably missing something very simple
Is that supposed to work?
I've found the following works, but it is a bit of a bodge. Replace the VoiceDialler registry entry with the one that loads MS Voice Command (see elsewhere in this forum). When you press the button, Voice Command will startup with its double beep noise. However, unlike the VoiceDialler software, Voice Command does not release control back to the EXEC until you press the headset button a second time. And if you don;t release control, all the EXEC's audio will play through your headset.
I'm not even sure you would need Voice Command, you could probably enter a nonsense path in the registry.
Give it a go and see what happens.
I have the following Problem : I had trying the folowing hack to run the VC with my Bluetooth headset sony ericsson HBH 660 on my Qtek 9000 (HTC Universal )
Idid what tey say but it does not work really.
Install Voice Command to the default location.
Fire up a registry editor
Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\VoiceCommand
Modify the string marked "path" from the default \Windows\SDDialer.exe to
\Program Files\Voice Command\VoiceCMD.exe
Now, when you press your BT headset connect button, MS Voice command will
fire up and take commands through the headset. It's reponses will be played
through the headset to I mean. The heatset will be connect to the Qtek 9000 but the VC will not start up. IF i start the VC manually on the QTEK i can speak trough the Headset an i hear the commends from the VC back trough the headset. But the quallity of my commands trough the headset must be so bad that the VC will not understand my commands . ( Only what time is it works )
So what can i do ? Do you have a idee ?
Why the VC starts not up over Bluetooth ?
Why the quallity is so bad ?
Should i need another headset ?
Many Tahnks ofr your answer !

I've had the exact same problem with a Motorola HS850. Posted a topic once but no one seemed to have the same problem so they couldn't help me. I still haven't figured it out myself - sorry.
Hi Andy K,
I have pretty much the same setup, except mine is a jasjar and my headset model number is 662. I used the same instructions that you are referring to and it is working for me.
If I have both turned on and linked, I press the headset button, wait for the tone and say my command. It has worked surprisingly well. I'm not sure what's causing your problem. Do you have the headset and phone close enough to each other for a good signal?
I should have also mentioned that I have a Qtek 9000. I think it must be a problem somewhere in the Qtek registry which must have slightly different entries than the registry that comes with the JasJars
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
I just got this device, and I'm mostly pleased with it after applying various tweaks thanks to the fine people on this board. One problem I'm having though, is I am not able to voice dial contacts using my bluetooth headset. I have a Plantronics M3500 paired up with the device using hands-free profile, however pressing the button on the headset doesn't do anything to the MDA no matter if it is on or in standby mode. I saw messages on here that other people have this working, but so far, I haven't been able to. Is there something special that needs to be done? It worked fine for me on my Sony Ericsson P900 phone. Any suggestions are welcome. TIA.
Nevermind....
Uh... sorry just figured it out. It does work, but differently from my P900. I used to just press the button on the bluetooth headset, but with the Wizard, I have the hold down the button for a couple of seconds. Perhaps something to do with the hands-free vs. headset profile.
Are you using the stock voice dialer or Voice Command? I have been trying to find a way to activate Voice Command via the bluetooth headset button, without any success.

No, I'm just using the stock voice dialer. The headset is paired up with the MDA using the hands-free profile. When I press the button on the bluetooth headset and hold it for 2 seconds, I hear a litte tone and the MDA 'wakes up'. As I said in the message above, with my Sony Ericsson P900 phone, I used to just have to click the button, and the phone would go into voice dial. I'm guessing that the difference may be due to using the hands-free profile vs. the headset profile that was used with the P900.

Follow these directions, works great...

Yeah, what Dustoff said. The other thing to remember (I learned it from these forums) is that you need to press the headset button twice to fully disconnect from the MDA. The first click disconnects from Voice Command, the second click disconnects from the audio gateway.
microsoft voice command and bluetooth headset
I need help getting the microsoft voice command software to work through a bluetooth headset. I used the instruction provided via Bits Inside Registry Editor to change the command on my handheld, but was unsuccessful. My blueangel has the latest rom and ext rom updates via the standardization project, and the headset is a Motorola HS820
Please assist,

The keyword in your request is BlueAngel. This registry hack is for the wizard only. I am not familiar with how to do it for the BA.
Sorry...
sorry, i saw the info, got excited and didn't notice the type of phone listed.

I need help w/ configuring my phone to play the set ringtone through my BT headset (Motorola H700). I updated my phone (Cingular 8125) to the 217 ROM w/CF2, ringers, themes, A2DP on FTP, and I have Microsoft Voice Command installed.
The registry value for "IsEnabled" at "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Obex" is already set to "1" but the ringtone through the headset is a no go. I can get it to work only if I press the call button on my headset to enable the gateway and leave it on but I don't want to do that since it will kill the battery.
What setting or registry value do I need to modify in order to get the ringtone to play through the headset or will I need another app?
Also is it normal for everyone when using the Microsoft Voice Command that you have to press the call button on your headset 3 times for initiating a call & opening the gateway, ending a call, and closing the gateway before you can initiate another voice command/call? Again, this is on a H700 headset.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
