Dopod 818 Pro Voice Command Bluetooth Activation Problem

I've got a problem with Dopod 818 Pro's voice command software.
The software that is use is Cyberon VC 1.6, which is different from Jamin's Voice Speed Dial 1.1
Using Jamin's Voice Speed Dial 1.1 (I've flashed Jamin's rom), I can use bluetooth headset button to activate and dial very successfully every time.
However, when using Dopod's software (Cyberon VC 1.6), I can only activate the voice command once using my bluetooth headset's button. After that I cannot use it anymore and have to reboot the Dopod in order to make it work again. I noticed that after the headset is turned on, it never turns off again using this software.
I'm using a SC HBH-662, 818 Pro AKU2 WWE.
Do anyone experiences this problem? Is it a problem with my Headset instead of a software problem. (I'd need to consider replacing my bluetooth headset). If everyone is experiencing this problem with Dopod, then I think it is probably a software problem, or there are any registry setting that I can use to fix it?

I have noticed the same problem, though not everytime. It seems that if you use the software to dial a phone number, and then end the call, the headset shuts off and may or may not work again with voicecommand.
Anyway, yes, it's weird. I'm using a SE bluetooth headset as well, but I think it's software related.

Anyone not using Sony Ericsson bluetooth headset having the same problem? If yes, I think I'll just downgrade it back to imate rom.

Same Here!! I just loaded the new Dopod ROM and selected the few files from Ext ROM that I wanted and noticed that Cyberon Voice Commander worked once with the bluetooth headset (nxZen) then refused to work after that. Hopefully some genius here can help figure this out. Cyberon's VC seems really good, just need it to work over bluetooth.

Jabra headset same problem here.

AX2 and Plantronics Voyager same issue. I think it is similiar to the issue people are having with MS Voice Command on the Wizard using the Reg hack to redirect the BT Headset button to activate VC

I'm having the EXACT same problem, with the same headset (hbh662). Interestingly enough, I installed MS Voice Command side-by-side with Voice Commander. Once you activate Voice Commander the first time (and it makes the audio gateway connection to the BT headset), you can use MS Voice Command to issue commands through the headset. The problem is that it seems to only be able to do this once, and then you have to reset. The other thing I've noticed is that all audio is rerouted through the headset; if your phone rings while the BT gateway is active, you will only hear it in the headset (but you get to hear Voice Command anounce the caller). Ah well, at least it works for about 10 minutes per reset. :?

I have exactly the same problem with you guys with my SE HBH-610a and i.Tech Clip R35, and some other SE and i.Tech models which I have also tried. Can only activate once, and will not work again until a soft-reset. This has been like that since the shipped ROM, and the new ROM didn't fix this problem.
Voice command over BT on the i-Mate AKU2 rom works great though, and works 100% of the time!! Though both from same company Cyberon, the one on Dopod is VOICE COMMANDER, and the one on Imate is VOICE SPEED DIAL.
I have tried un-installing Voice Commander from my Dopod and installing Voice Speed Dial (from hack in this forum), but didn't get voicedialling over BT to work this way on the Dopod. Sigh!!
Has anyone contacted Dopod on this matter? If I-mate can implement Voicedialling over BT correctly, I don't see why Dopod can't!! I will write to Dopod. Can't imagine calling their hotline again...the last time I called, I had to wait at least 50mins before my call was answered.

Still no solution for this?
Still no solution for this issue? Isnt there a way to port/convert Project VCABT to the Prophet?
That would be more than great"!

I have the same problem plus it does not recognize my voice command. Alway dials a wrong person. :evil:

Any progress?
Dear Friends,
Has anyone had any progress with this issue? 3-rd party software? Maybe some bluetooth stack patches.
Please, if anyone has any valuable information to share, please do.
With warmest regards...

there is a major problem with the ROM
Until a new one is produced the BT will be stuffed

How to make Voice Command respond on BT Headset Button ?

Hello,...
I am new here and thought you might help me with my little problem.
I allready searched the forum for that issue, but i did not find a real solution, so maybe someone can help me find a solution. Btw. please excuse my bad englisch, i am from Germany and really try my best.
Well, i have a german XDA Mini with BigStorage Rom 1.12.01 GER and Windows Mobile 2003.
I really have 2 problems now with the use of Microsoft Voice Command 1.5 and a Bluetooth Headset (not with Handsfree Profile).
My first Problem is, how can i make the Software response on pressing one of the 2 Headset Buttons. I really would like to initiate voice dialing with that so that i can leave the phone in my bag or whereever. I read something about a registry change, but i don't have that registry key, so maybe i need to install another software for that first.
If anybody could give me a easy to understand way to activate that, that would be really great.
My second Problem is, how can i use my BT Headset for the Audio Output. I can't hear the voice of Voice Command in the Earphone, it only plays on the XDA Mini itself. I downloaded a Bluetooth Stach Patch which gave me the option to stream audio to headset, abut my Headset isn't show in the list, and it does not work. I tried a Headset with Handsfree Profile from Plantronics (M3000), but it also did not show in the list. Can anyone help me with this ?
Well if could get this to work somehow that would be really really great...
Thanks in advance...
Thalys :?: :?:

Funny...I was researching this almost exactly as you were posting (research starting at XDA-Developers, of course!)
I found a rather distressing article at http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2006/02/03/524289.aspx that basically says that Microsoft Voice Command doesn't work over Bluetooth. HOWEVER, responses to the article reveal the registry hack to set Voice Command to the default Bluetooth dialer. It is:
HKLM\Software\OEM\VoiceCommand\Path=\Program Files\Voice Command\voicecmd.exe
I tried this on my Cingular 8125 with Motorola H500. Have to press the button twice (a problem also documented in the responses), and recognition is reduced, but it works! Voice Command audio is also piped to my headset.
--BennTech

Well, thanks alot for this tip, but it doesen't work for me. I tried changig the value to the path where my Voice Command is installed, but it did not do anything.
I think this is because i don't have a voice dialing software at all istalled on my device. Maybe i need to install another software first to activate the bluetooth support itself and than change the path to the program.
I figured out that i can make a redial with my headset without installing any software, so maybe there is a way to change this option to start voicecmd.exe.
I looked over the registry to find the key where the redial is initiated, but can't fins anything.
Has anyone done something like that ? I guess this is the only way to use voice command with BT Headset...
For all your help, thanks in advance...
Thalys

Sorry for Doublepost, but i wanted to say that the activation is now possible with the VCABT Project hack. That works now perfectly.
The only thing i wonder about is, is the mic in the headset used to recognize the voice ? Sometimes it is like still the mic in the machine is used.
I now only need a way to transfer the system audio to my headset... is that possible somehow ???
Thanks ... Thalys

@Thalys: If you'd know how to use a forum in the first place this whole thread wouldn't exist at all! It's all answered in the thread regarding the VCABT project. Since you found out about it I wonder why are posting those kinda questions... :roll:

Ok, sorry for that thread, it can be closed...
I did not read all the thread and thought that maybe another way is possible.
I now will keep an eye on the VCABT Project Thread to see if there is news to get this working...
Thanks for all your support... please Close
Thalys

well, voice command automaticcaly pauses the music playback, if you push the VC-Button (Camera-Button at the moment), to listen what you have to say trough the microphone of the HEADSET! So we really need "only" a possibillity to use the Headset-Button instead of for example the camera button. Everything else works quite good. :roll:

I m using Wizard and samsung SBH100 stereo BT and it works fine for me.

Bluetooth Headset disconnects after 10secs

I use a SonyEricsson Bluetooth Headset HBH-PV705 with the TyTN.
It works fine so far, when using the phone.
But I want also all sounds to be played via the headset, so that I can use Skype with the headset.
Therefore I disabled the voicedialing-software (Cyberon Voice Dial) with the BLUETOOTH VOICE COMMAND OFF Hack.
The Voicedialing does not start anymore, when I push the button on the headset and I can here, that audio is completly redirected to the headset.
However after 10 seconds the headset disconnects again and audio is played via the speaker again.
I tried several headsets already!
Does anybody have an idea whats going wrong here?
Thanks so much!

I haven't searched through hear yet, but I have a similar problem, just lasts longer then 10 seconds before it switches back. and for some reason voice command doesn't initialize (though i haven't tried the whole process again)

Does really no one know that problem? Does redirection of audio to a headset work on your TyTN?

BT stereo earphones & annoying voice command bug
Check this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=354050&highlight=#354050
ulischultz, I found the reg hack for voice command didn't work to correct this either. This BT/A2DP situation is a known bug, hopefully to be fixed with ROM update.

Hi guys can you make a test with the trial version of this software and se if it solves the problem:
www.teksoftco.com and download the trial version of BlueMusic from the product section. A detailed description on how to install and how to use it on the website.
Cheers,
Raul

That looks very nice, but does not have any effect!
After 10secs the sound is switching back to the speaker!

The problem is than at a lower level so i think it should be fixed with the next RUU .
This means that it worked on your tytn?( i mean that it routed corectly the voice)
Cheers,
Raul Tinca

No, it did not. It seemed to activate the headset somehow, because I was able to hear some noise, but the sound was still played via the speaker. Only after pressing the button on the headset, the sound was redirected, but only for 10secs.
Where can I get the RUU-Update, and how will I be informed about it, when it arrives?

"the sound was redirected, but only for 10secs"
this is what i wanted to hear
Seems like if they fix the bug in the rom the software would run on the tytn also (after pushing once the headset button - as presented in the help file there are devices that need it to be pushed and some that don't).
Cheers,
Raul

use the btagext.dll extracted from the dopod 9000 wwe ext rom and copy it over the original one in the windows dir, then soft reset...
That solved the problem for me.

topogigi: Where can I get that file? I will give it a try!
rain: I have a original HTC TyTN in german language! Is there any place where I can check for a new software by my self?

For btagext.dll you should give it a search here on xda-dev or ask an Dopod device owner to extract it for you.
For software the hardware configuration is not that much different from the Wizard or Prophet so any software that works on this device will have to work on yours also. pocketgear, mobihand, pocketland.de to give a few examples of websites where you can look for software and download free trial versions. There are also freeware websites. Just google as there are plenty of them at the moment
Cheers,
Raul

So is there anyone who can send me that file? So that I can test it?
Thanks very much!

Here it is...

Hi,
Am having the same issue, I copied over the file but it has not helped, were there any other files you copied over. (I did reset)
Cheers.

A solution is finally found!!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=59918

Thanks for the post but I do not really think this is a solution to the overall issue. It may help in just listening to audio but it takes away some functionality, that being able to initiate voice command or voice dialling.
[EDIT]
Here is what I found;
Adding the DWORD string "VoiceCmdDuration = 86400" (86400 = 24hrs) under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\VoiceCommand
passes the audio stream to the headset, for my issue where Voice Command was timing out on me before finishing what it was saying etc... this has worked fine, also, if not using Voice command a single press on the headset button passes Audio to it, second press disconnects.
I also changed this to value to 60 (seconds) after which the audio timed out and did not seem to start form zero again once initiated but I will need to test this some more. In the mean time I have entered some ridiculous figure to keep it running as I want, again, more testing and time will tell if this drains the battery any quicker.
I did NOT install BTAudioOn as mentioned in the other thread.

Hi cieplowski - how did your testing go? I got my V1605 on Friday and think I have the same issue with Voice Command. When I press & hold the button on my bluetooth headset it starts Voice Command and accepts my voice tag but almost immediately the sounds revert to the PDA speaker and I hear the response through the PDA and not my headset.
If your hack works and doesnt drain the battery then I'm extremly greatful
Thanks

Hi coe62,
Well, I used it over the weekend and it worked fine, I did not notice any abnormal battery drain etc....
Remember, all I have done is add
DWORD string "VoiceCmdDuration = 86400" (86400 = 24hrs) under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\VoiceCommand
Nothing else, no additional programs etc....
This tweak works by basically not disconecting the audio feed to the headset until the button is pressed again or the set time runs out. I am pretty sure that the time set runs from a soft reset so I have left mine as a huge value, 6000000 (I think)
Other findings are;
After voice call the Audio stream swithces back to the phone, this is great for me as I do not have to remember to press the button again to disconnect it hence saving battery power on the headset itself.
TomTom passes all Audio to the headset also.
Let me know if it works on yours.

Hi cieplowski - no joy I'm afraid. made the reg change and then reset but after this the headset pairs ok but all commands still come through the V1605 speaker and not the headset.
Only thing I can think is that I used the wrong DWORD value - should it be a hex or decimal value ?
thanks

VC 1.6 announcements over BT Headset

I know this has been covered a bit but I have a quick question. MS is saying you need to have AKU 3.2 to get VC to announce caller's over your BT Headset. Has anyone found a simple way to make this work on an earlier ROM. Lately I've been running mostly Molski's ROM, but I dabbled in Faria's 3.2. I swore I had BT working totally with a 2.26 ROM, but am I on crack?
I liked Faria's 3.2 but I was missing too many calls. Is there any way to upgrade just teh BT in an older ROM to make this work. (I'm sure my inexperience shows in this question. If its impossible to do, just say the word and I'll patiently wait for a new 3.2 or 3.5 ROM or just forget about this)

I have two answers to your question.
The first is use the A2DP hack found in this forum and get a stereo bluetooth headset. The iTech Clip R35 or S35 both come with the two headphones; one with only one earbud, so you aren't covering both your ears. When you have a stereo bluetooth headset, all sound, including the calls from MS Voice Command are redirected to your headset.
The second is use the program found here:
http://www.pdaphonehome.com/forums/...luetooth-headset.html?perpage=20&pagenumber=1
It basically redirects all sound to bluetooth (probably a cheaper and easier fix); I haven't tried it yet, but it seems like it might be the solution you are looking for.
I also liked having the feature of calls announced through bluetooth, but it never did seem to work. I have been meaning to download the program from the site, but just haven't gotten chance. If you try it, let me know if it works.
Thanks.

I wonder how hard it would be to get that little program to run automatically when connected to a head set

yeah theres nothign cooler than wearing a stereo headset while driving. Thanks but no thanks.
I've used BT audio with v1.5, and it wasnt for me. i still use it to listen to podcasts via my headset on occasion though.
The nice thing about 1.6 when it was working (mist have been with Faria's ROM) was that I didn't hear my normal phone ringtone through the headset. It rang like normal through my headset, but it would announce the callers name. Its a cool feature.
edit: I must have been wrong. It does divert the ringtone through your headset as well. This gives me hope that I can work somethign out using BTAudio.

Yeah it is a cool feature. You can go to the notification settings in voice command (Settings -> Personal -> Voice Command) and change it so that notifications are done when bluetooth is available (the second radio button). If the notifications cannot sound through your headset, they will come from the phone speaker so you will still be able to hear who is calling without looking at your phone. Doesn't really help if your phone is in your pocket or if you can't hear it, but I guess its the next best alternative.

I have a cooked T-mobile 2.26 ROM and use MS VC 1.6 over my BT205 no problems. I was previously using the original O2 rom and has it working on that too so both an AKU2.0 and an AKU2.3 work fine. To install try this:
remove VC if installed
remove headset pairing
soft reset
create headset pair and leave it switched on
install vc1.6
soft reset
add path string to HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\VoiceCommand\
i.e. \Program Files\Voice Command\VoiceCMD.exe
soft reset
then try the button on the headset a few times

I'm not having trouble using BT with VC. I want the Incoming call announcements to come over BT.
I installed Farias 3.2 and it worked, but I decided its not a huge deal. I'll try playing around looking at some of teh links here and see if I can't work somethign out. Thanks everyone.

I would also love for voice command 1.6 to announce incoming calls to my bluetooth headset. Interestingly, low battery announcements come through the bluetooth headset, but not incoming calls. Hmmm. Any suggestions/luck getting this to work?
Best,
MJB

Just wanted to let everyone know I tried it out today and it works as expected. Phone audio gets redirected to BT headset on incoming calls.

but does the ringer get re-directed also? cuz if so thats DAMN ANNOYING!

Well I dont mean to sound condescending to a "senior member" cuz im just a junior but did it cross your mind to select "none" as your ringer? Oh, Btw everyone, your welcome for my fantastic little file

What exactly does the file do???

I had troubles with VC 1.6 at first, but now it seems to work OK. Maybe I accidentally followed Riptos's instructions. Don't know.
Also BTAudio is working to redirect audio when I want that to happen, since VC now closes the audio after it finishes.
The only remaining minor glitch is that after giving a dial command, the little simulated dialing noise comes over the phone speaker not the headphone. So if the phone isn't right by, I don't always know whether it has dialed or not.
Any suggestions?

I tried the CallerID program. It works just as described. The only thing is that is takes up ~443.48 KB at startup. I just installed it so I don't know if it increases after a while.
I have a question. If I understand everything correctly, with a AKU 3.2 ROM this CallerID program isn't necessary if I want to get Incoming Call Announcements over Bluetooth. Right??

Has anyone gotten VC 1.6 to announce incoming calls over a STEREO Bluetooth headset? Seems like the discussions have only been for a hands free device. Anyone?

I don't have a 3.XX ROM and Voice Command notifications work on my stereo bluetooth headset without the program because I think wtih stereo bluetooth, all sound is redirected to the headset. I didn't do anything or change any settings, it just worked. I obviously have the A2DP hack installed, but that's it.

voice command 1.6 and jabra bt500

When I press the bt500's headset button to activate voice command I still have to speak into the trinitys built-in microphone and the responses come from the built-in speaker.
I've had a look around and the solutions so far seem to be for wm6, im still on wm5, or reg updates for keys I dont seem to have.
My apologies if I have missed anything obvious but is there a solution for this problem?
Also while im here is there a way to turn off the confirmation request for dialing contacts through voice command.

I'm having the same issues. I owned an imate Jamin before the this and it worked perfectly. I understand the jamin was manufactured by HTC so I do not know why the p3600 doesnt work.

Will Hermes Fix work?
Does the hermes fix for the voice command 1.6 issues work on the trinity?
