Can someone please help. I have a new XDA II purchased a couple of weeks ago. I want to add voice dial so that I can record a voice tag to a specific contact, press a button on my bluetooth headset and the XDA II phone will dial that person for me.
Can some kind person please guide me exactly how to go about setting this up?

You can't record voice tag unfortunatelly... Microsoft sells Microsoft Voice command for
pocket pc for 30$.. you don't need to train it or record voice tag.. it just recognize what
you say. it isn't bad
you can grab it from www.suprnova.com in the App/pocket pc section (you will need a bittorrent client, ABC http://pingpong-abc.sourceforge.net).
You can use Neuvoice: http://www.neuvoice.com/xdasoftware.php
Allows you to record your own commands. I had problems with some English programs to recognize Dutch names in my contacts.
Neuvoice has to be trained, and this takes some time, but works perfect with foreign languages.
i use vito voice dialer
works great you record your voice tags then if you have button plus installed i have mine lined to the contacts button if i hold it down it will say please say name so you say the voicetag and itll begin to dial works very well
I tried MS voicecommand, and i was not impressed. The thing about "not training" is that it will recognise only the obvious. Also, it was very bad, to pathetic, in recognising things with the earphones on. Add to that noise when driving, it was impossible.
I found the fonix voicedial was very good. I downloaded a trial (gave me a few eeeks to use it, now theres a sensible trial period!), and it was very good.
I havent used vito, maybe give it a go.
fonix is very good fun to play with but it likes to call my dad most of the time lol im like mum....
dial dad
does your head in lol
Vito is the best one ive tried
but fonix is very fun to play with lol
I am french and i need to 'train tag'.
I use neu voice navigator.
For 9,99$, the voice recognition works very well, indoor, outdoor with wind and driving in the car.
Voice dial for XDA II
Thanks to all of you so far. I went to the Vito site and read that it does not work for XDA II.
""IMPORTANT! Doesn't work on MDAII/XDAII
VITO VoiceDialer PE is not currently supported by XDAII/MDAII. When recording a voice tag it brings up an error "Cannot process this file" Our development team is working on the solution. We apologize for the inconvenience. ""
Hopefully this can be fixed soon. I will try some other sites

I've tried Fonix and MS Voice Command on XDAII and in my view MS Voice Command is the best. Contrary to one of the posts above I've found it very accurate especially after learning how to speak to it after the first couple of days. It works well with the wired earpiece but will not work with a bluetooth headset as it takes its input only from the microphone. As such it is a viable hands free solution and you dont need to train it so if you add a new contact then it is automatically recognised. Beware that the current US version doesnt support dialling of UK phone numbers ie you cannot say 'dial 0113 205 3345' as it will only accept 7 and 10 digit numbers that do not begin with a zero.
I tried MS Voice Command and I must concur with others opinions. Because you cannot train it to learn your voice, it means that you must learn to speak the way it wants you to speak. Fair enough, but the 24-hour trial period is too short. After 24 hours, I could not get it to perform to my satisfaction. Perhaps with a longer trial period I might have learned how to use it.
That is why I am not buying it.
I've tried MS Voice command, and found that unless you want to speak with an American accent then don't bother.
I've also just tried Neuvoice, which works with tags that you assign, and that seems to work extremely well. Now if only one of them could work with a Bluetooth headset! But I guess that's a the fault of the XDA's bluetooth implementation, rather than any of the software.
I purchased MS Voice command (use on my XD2) and as everyone has said it is no good unless you use an american accent...only problem is that I keep talking like an American now :roll: LOL
Thanks - Sunny.

Thanks again. Of course, if it does not work with a bluetooth headset, there really is not much point having it until it does, because the whole idea is to make voice dial calls that are completely 'hands fee'.
I spoke with O2 Mobile Internet support team who tell me that the software will soon have an update (bugfix) which will apparently fix this problem and allow the XDA II to work for voice dial. Does anyone know what this is, when is it coming and how will we be able to get it and put it onto our XDA???

XDA II update
latest information from O2 is quoting Spring 2004.................
.....................so that'll be 2005 then!

I suppose we will have to rely on the brains of the wonderful people on this forum who will surely come up with a way around the problems.
There must be some way through it. All ideas are welcome

Bougth a second hand P800 this week to compare with the XDA II.
I must say that the P800 is much more advanced on the phone point. It may be not as performant, but the thing works quite nicely. Voice control works perfect, also with BT headset.
And controlling and operating the phone is much easier thanks to the jog dial. I also like the better implemantation of the phone settings and options. Don't understand why this isn't implemented on more devices.
Think MS still has a long way to go with Pocket PC Phone Edition to reach at least the same phone functionality...
@ Jos
do you know why that is?
its because the p800 is a symbian phone with PDA features
the XDA is a PDA with mobile features
theres the difference
and p800 camera is ****e lol
Hi all!
I Just changed from a P800, and fully agree with gazzaman2k and Jos, P800 is a "so-so good" phone, but a very POOR PDA.
XDAII is a fully functional PDA, but the phone parts leaves so much to be desired......
Any way, I still would be using my P800, should I have been able to fix the SYNC problem.... A phone PDA UNABLE to sync with with your PC is a useless combo. Not to mention the full distress recoveries I had to do with my Outlook contact and agenda files.....
I ended up recovering my old T68 phone, (I need it for the BT carkit) I passed my Cassiopeia EM505 to a friend, my wife got my P800 (unable to sell it on e-bay) and I'm so-so satisfied with my XDA.
Until:
1.- it gets the handsfree BT issue solved (car kit usage)
2.- The Voice command functions are fully implemented (BT headset too)
3.- The phone functions are VERY MUCH IMPROVED (one hand use)
I would NOT consider the XDAII a "PHONE-PDA", but a "PDA-phone". (Capitals being removed intentionally)
BTW, most of the "Voice/dial command" programs I tried are useless and/or unreliable.
but also :x
Indeed, I agree the XDA II is a PDA-PHONE and the P800 a PHONE-PDA.
Would be nice to see an OS that would run on the fast hardware of the XDA II with all the plusses of Pocket PC and Symbian...
And the P800 is for my girlfriend. She needed a new phone and I could get this one for a fair price. Plus it gives me the chance to play around with both en see the pros and cons of both.
For performance and Outlook sync, I prefer the XDA II, but for phone funcionality I prefer the P800...
Voice diaing continued...
The XDA II is a quality PDA with phone functions. Since, I understand, other PDA's (even those without built in phones) are able to have voice dial functions for add-on phones, it seems to me that the XDA II could easily also have these functions. I think that it would just mean getting the right software. How and where from I would like to know?
It may be possible to improve the phone functions, but the single one thing that would improve the XDA II for me is the addition of voice dialing via bluetooth - so that you can record a tag to a contact, press a button on the earpiece, say the contact name and then the number is dialed. That handsfree capability would be a very good start - and let's face it, with driving restrictions etc, these days, it really is essential if the XDA II is ever going to be of any value as a mobile phone.
What I need to know for certain is:-
1.Is there a software that will allow me to have this function.

After upgraded to WM2003SE, My XDA2's bluetooth doesn't connecting well with my Motorola HS810, it only works for outgoing calls but unable to receive phone calls. Wonder what problems could it be. :?:
hmm...
I don't know that what version of wm2003se you have done, but I used to have the same problem with you coz my headset is HS810 the same.
Anyway, this attached file helps and you should give it a try, it gives a bit different performance from normal headset function but quite well.
Or... another suggestion.... try a translated rom version 2.20.07 this one works very fine with HS810 and you can also use HS810 with handfrees profile.
Good luck!

Thanks Vedas:
After downloaded this attached file to my Xda2, my bluetooth is back to normal again and with more features thn b4, very usefull thanks dude.
cool!
A bit mor additional information that you should be aware....
Warning:
While using this Pocket Bluetooth Tool you can pick up call waiting and you still can swap between 2 calls but whenever one of them ends you will lose signal between your headset and ppc, the remain call will still in progress but you cannot talk at all then must end up with hang up the call.
Solution:
Just disable Call Waiting in Phone>Tools>Option>Services>Call Waiting.
This is the downside of this program with HS810 that I has encountered.
If you still want to use Call Waiting, I suggest 2.20.07 and you may love it.
Good luck!

Same thing happen to me .. where to get the patch ?
Now my BT is chuck in my drawer . Funny thing is that HS850 got not problem ..sighhh ..
thanks
Can anybody fix the resume-music-problem?
I'm using a XDA neo (s200) and a Logitech HS200 bluetooth headset.
It's always the same problem: When I am listening to music and a phone call comes in, everything is fine. But when the call ends it's getting worse. Either the music resumes playing on my neo, or just nothing happens.
I recognised that a lot of A2DP-user have the same problem!!
So I hope it's just a dll/reg-problem which can be solved.
I already started to find some workarounds. But nothing helps.
After the call, I can press nearly every button on the headset, but nothing helps. When I manually enter the WM-Player and push the play-button again, the music seems to resume, but there is no sound, or the music comes out of my pda. It's strange: I can use the control-buttons on my headphone, but there is no music at all.
When I want the music back on my headphone, the only way is soft-resetting my neo. This is very annoying and takes a lot of time.
This my configuration:
XDA neo (s200) /O2-Verison, but it's nearly "O2-cab-free"
Logitech HS200
Windows Media Player 10
Mort-Player
I've installed A2DP in two different ways:
- automatic (via A2DP_hack.cab) and also
- the manual way
==> No difference
Everything else is working fine. No sound quality/hissing-problem. As long as nobody calls me, all buttons are woking fine.
I would be very glad, if some of you guys could fix this problem! I mean, it's awesome, that you could bulit up this a2dp-stuff! But at the moment, this a2dp-solution is just the half way. We need a way-back to resume our music!!
So PLEASE ROCK ON!
help!
I'm getting crazy because of this resume-problem.
For your interest:
I told you, that after a call, the music resumes on my pda, or it just stop.
Now I found out something: After a call the music just starts when I'm still in the WM-Player.
When I leaved the player before a call comes in (music is still running) the music won't resume on my pda. Just nothing will happen, until I work on the pda.
Hope this could be useful for you.
I don't think, that my headphone is the problem. When there is no call, I can always switch the music from pda to headphone and the other way by pressing the backward- and forward-button button on my headphone at the same time.
When I do this button-trick after a call I can still switch music from headphone (without sound) to pda. When I want the music back from pda to headphone it seems to work, cause I can use every button to control WM-Player, but there is no music.
What can I do???
Please help me.... I'm so sad.
I have the same problem!
Now I have to use my A2DP stereo headset like a simple wireless stereo hadphones 8(
My hardware:
Qtek S200
WM5, ExtROM 2.9.7 with "Smartmobile.se Enable A2DP" path
Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970 stereo headset
yeehaaaa
it finally works! i love you guys!
How did u fix it?
the way it works!

simple & easy: just search your wireless lan cable and connect it to your xda. after that you have to take a bucket full of energy (I think half full would be enough) and jump around your xda while it's fighting with your activesync!
no, just kidding.
just have a look into this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=284344&page=3
there you will find a download. (page 3)
please keep in mind, that this seems to be quite experimental! it's working with AKU 3.3 A2DP! The author of it recommends to delete the old a2dp-stuff before installing the new cabs.
Due to the fact that I made a complete new installation of my Xda NEO, I could directly install the AKU 3.3 cabs.
And what can I say? Everything works just fine! No more stupid reset after call!
Have fun!

Thanks for ponting out the correct direction. I got that file and installed on my G4 XDA Neo (QTEK AKU2.2 original ROM). It worked perfectly. Always automatically swtich between stereo and hand free mode.
Hi All,
I was just looking to by the new netgear skype phone and then I thought maybe the Atom Life might run skype well because of the faster processor!!!!! Has anyone tried skype on the Atom Life???
I have tried skype on most of my phones from Jasjar, Jasjam, Atom and others and it was never a nice experience, please anyone let me know of your thoughts?
skype
Im using skype 2.3 on my HP RW6818 with a spectec minisd wifi, and everything is working perfectly. Though you need to set the AGC to 3, Skype echo cancellation on and the volume to 30% in order for it to work, i wouldnt recommend using the headset as it may do damage on your phone.
Now you just need to put the phone upside down, so the speakerphone becomes the earpiece, and have a normal phone type conversation. Dont worry about the mic, it will still function normally eventhough its on top.
I tried using the Skype for Windows Mobile version on Atom Life. Seemed to work fine for text. The voice call worked fine for about 15 mins but by then the device became very hot and it switched off. It wouldn't come on until it after some time when it cooled a bit
I have no plans of using the voice comms again.
I just recently acquired a stereo bluetooth headset from dell model number BH200 and so far the stereo music quality is superb, but the moment a call comes in or I pick up a call it immediately disconnects itself. My question would be if any of you guys have any experience with this issue. the Stereo bluetooth and handsfree profile are both set to active. Any suggestions or hints?
I'm going to go on a limb here and assume that you guys haven't had access to the aforementioned bluetooth and i'm short out of luck here... right?
p.s. SAY IT AINT SO!!!!
Hi, I also have the same headphones and the same problem - only on HTC Universal flashed with WM6.
I search a bit on Google and it seems that the problem is with MS Bluetooth stack - it was working correctly for WM5 (but no A2DP), now in WM6 A2DP works, but handsfree does not.
Right now I'm testing alternative BT stacks - started with UniBT (it's Broadcomm stack modified for Universal) - now A2DP works flawlessly (before that, it didn't), but handsfree/headphones mode does not. At least trying to receive the phone call doesn't turn the headphones off.
i tested my fuze with a jabra bt2010 and it works fine. I'd prefer to not carry 2 bluetooth devices so i'm trying to find a way for it to work. I've been suggested to use a widcomm bluetooth stack as well but i dont know how to change my stack. If anyone here does know how to do it, please do enlighten us.
It's been nearly a month so I'm going to bump this thread in hopes of someone might possibly have some insight into this.
Push/bump.
I got the S9 now, it works for both functions but craps out completely when i'm outside, really bad signal reception as well as "muffled sounds" according to my audiophilic and audiophobic friends.
I think it has to be something to do with the actual firmware inside the bh200 that is wreaking some unknown havoc.
Dell bluetooth headset BH200 not working with Sony Xperia X1i
I have a Dell Bluetooth headset model BH200 and in A2DP mode, works flawless but the moment it is used with handsfree mode for call, the connection is broken and the headset switches off itself. This headset works very well with other non WM6.1 devices. Any clues with anony one what should be done in this case, some people have suggested JETware Hands-free Extension , any one tried on this.
I actually gave up on the bh200 and got myself a jabra bt8010. it works like a charm and the sound is just as good as the bh200
Indeed... i used to have a WM device (Mio A501) and I had the WM6.1 Pro..
I bought this BT at that time and it didn't work on WM6.1 (it even didn't asked me the PIN to pair it) but, when I tried with WM5.0, everything worked great, great sound on call's music, etc.. now I have a Sapphire and I'm not able to make calls on it (music works), but since I'm not driving and people used to look like "what a crazy guy speaking in English alone, no cables, it must be a mp3 or something.. hmmm" when I was on a call, it doesn't make a huge difference
i have yet to try this on wm6.5 but I highly doubt there would be a change..i'll give an update when I do charge up the bh200
i charged the bh200 up completely and tested it out.. it was a failure.. looks like 6.5 did not do anything to help...
Maybe windows mobile 7 will work.......... maybe.
You can use BH200 on call by this way only(I tested)
1. Turn on BT
2. Accepted call(However just Turn on your BT after accept call is OK)
3. Turn on BH200
4. Pair ur PDA w/ BH200
5. Done
IS this thead still active? I have a solution
Guys..
Use Reg edit and make the following modifications in your WM device by creating a new DWORD value 0 with the parameter UseESCO. Check out the path
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway\UseESCO = DWORD:0 (Dont use space between UseESCO)
Then restart the phone and delete any previous BT devices on your phone, start up the paining process and get it to work.
worked flawlessly on my Dell BH200
Thanks,
Raj.
seriously????
the fix is in one freaking registry tweak????
I'll have to wait 2 months before i can test this since i left the damn thing to rot in the US while i'm here in thailand..-_-

Heya, Finally got back ot he US and tested out the BH200 with the fix you mentioned. it works!!!!!
although, i'm wondering if you're having problems with the bh200 not wanting to connect to the phone automatically.
Need help for the same problem in android
I am having similar issues on my Nexus one. Dell BH200 works for music playback but stops functioning when a call is made or received. Even the connection between the phone & BH200 gets lost.
I would be really glad to get some help on this.
