on my last phone (sagem) there was a feature that recognised a 'special' word at all times ( an unusual word, not likely to pop up in conversation - mine was hippopotamaus). this then activated the voice command, you spoke the name of the person you wanted to ring etc.
in otherwords it was a voice recogniser without the need to press any buttons at all. it was a great addition, although it did reduce the battery power.
is this kind of application available on the wizard?
I would be very interested in seeing this aswell. I'm sure my old Ericsson had something like this too for answering calls handsfree many years ago.
I had this on my last phone. However, i hardly ever used it because if i forgot to turn it off it would often hear, or think it heard, my magic word in my pocket in noisy environments. Would be handy in the car, a time out to automatically turn it off after it had not been used for a while would be handy too

Hi Guys,
Just got my S110, which I love. Still trying to learn how different the phone functions are, compared to my C500, one thing I have noticed, and which I feel is a real pain is to do with the suppled headset and its intergration with mobile 2003.
It seems to be fine at answering calls - a quick tap, and that is it, but when it comes to ending a call, i have to hold the button for 3 seconds, and there is also no beep to notify that the call has ended. This is a bit annoying if you end the call with the handset in your pocket. There is nothing to let you know it has ended, apart from looking at the handset.
Does anyone know of a hack to shorten the length the button needs to be pressed to end a call.
Also is there any chance of voice tagging, like a normal phone. I have tried Voice commander, which I think is hit and miss.
Many Thanks

I put my exec into corporate mode before I started using it for phone calls !!! and now my button does nothing (im not sure if it ever did) I would imagine it is send, end and redial last number !!! is it supposed to work in corp mode, is their anyway to activate it ??
C'mon guys some of you must have pressed the button before !!!
The button on my Bluespoon AX tells my MDA to start the voice dialling app.
Snag is, when it's in my bag, if it gets accidentally pressed, it recognises from nowhere my only voice tag and dials it.
Of course, I don't know this until I get a text later from the contact saying 'Your phone called me again.'
Most annoying so tag removed to stop it.
Bloody thing. But I love my MDA and wouldn't swap it for anything else on the market right now.
I mean the button on the incorparated wired handset !!!! not bluetooth
Press to answer a call, and press to end if I remember right.
I thought as much, mine puts my call on hold if I am already in the middle of a call, and that's all it does it's quite frustrating. I'm getting a new XDA soon anyway (my Mic has packed in) there were a couple of funny issue's with this one, when I first booted it the keyboard lights didn't work, I had to hard reset it to get any joy.
Although using a Magician instead of a Universal I tried my wired headset today myself... does nothing during a call I started. Won't spend money on trying it the other way around now... disappointing.
I hope it fires an event which is not handled yet - so it can be picked up by an application to start Voice Command for instance.
Hi All
Well this is another GPS App and my first so as people say "please be gentle".
I wrote this for my wife and me for when we are running or cycling.
The idea behind it was to know how fast, far, average speed and time travelled while listening to music without have to look at your phone. It basically says the info you want, the voice is a basic computer voice. It will also say any sms that come in while in use but it can only say words and numbers not any text speak but which I might be able to add later.
My biggest problem is because the voice isn’t particularly loud of clear I need to be able to pause the HTC music software while it’s speaking. If anyone knows how to do that please help I was hoping the pause button on the wired headphones might have a virtual key number but I haven't found it yet.
If I can get the above problem solved am hoping to add a lot of useful info to the display and to the spoken info such as a buddy runner based on a previous run or target settings.
In the setting menu the only item that’s functional at the mo is the repeat voice setting. As you may see the whole program is at a very early stage at the mo so again please be gentle.

Sir if you can find a way to pause or mute music with hardware button on wired earphones, You will make me really up...
Having been a long time reader and following the rise and birth of the HD2, I'm just about to order one till I saw the Alarm issue .
I have 4 basic needs:
Alarm
Bluetooth Voice recognition
Texting
and good call quality
I need it to wake me as an alarm is basic and should over ride silent mode and go for more than 2 beeps .
Bluetooth hands free, I need this to work as I need it while driving. How easy is it to get working with Nokia BT headset, and can it work like the n95 with auto voice recognition? Heard you can install MirosoftVoice thingy, but where from?
I have read a lot of problems about Texts. Presume this will be sorted shortly.
Good call quality, self explanatory, so don't like the sound of blastingly loud crackling volume.
I use a pc for emails as mailwasher filters out all the sp*nk mail so I don't intend to use it for emails.
Am I going to get the right phone? I love the look of the HD2, nearly bought the HD.
Liked the iphones that I played with but hated the handcuffed options and itunes. Shame that every gadget or accessory in shops is geared towards iphone.
Need some help.
Cheers,
Steve
Will that be a "No can't do the basics" then?
Alarm: Built in alarm is fairly basic, it does override silent mode and you can set 3 alarm times with days and the sound. Snooze mode is also included. If you need more, there are great applications like G-Alarm.
Bluetooth: I can pair it with my Bluetooth headset, it's simple and works just like it's supposed to. I don't know how to map a key of the headset to MS Voice Command but I'm pretty sure that this can be done.
Texting: Some people had problems, but disabling HTC Messaging is a simple fix that silves the problems. I've not had any problem with texting yet.
Call Quality: It's pretty good, IMHO. Not the best among all phones, but very good for a smartphone, better than most other smartphones.
1. Alarm works quite well for me, but I have a very light sleep, and almost every sound wakes me up. The only thing about HD2 that didn't wake me up was the battery notification (that it is under 10%)
3.. Texting - quite satisfied, only twice (I have the device for 3 full weeks now) I noticed the sms bug (sms not being sent from outbox), but soft reset solved those things. On my HD2 (with 1.43 WWE East Europe stock ROM) it appeared only when weather didn't want to update, so I kinda knew when it was appearing.
4. Call quality is very good, much better than on my old Nokia 8600 Luna
If you have to push ANY button it isn't "hands free". I'd very much like to be able to wake my brand new Galaxy S4 with just a voice command while driving. Once woken I'd like to open and use S Voice with just voice commands. I'm not COMPLETELY dim. I've managed to build a few computers from parts and passed a bunch of tests that granted me the privilege of putting some fancy letters after my name. But I confess I never thought I'd have to learn how to use a telephone again once I turned 63 years of age. Nor learn to drive. I SWEAR that toilet paper display would have fallen even if I'd not tapped it with my electric geezer mobile. I tried several of those Blue Tooth devices that you put on your visor, but they didn't get it done. Next I replaced my ancient Subaru Outbacks stereo with a new Sony that has Blue Tooth Capabilities, bought an iBolt dock to stick onto my dash to hold the phone, and sometime next week will have four speakers installed to rectify the fact my left drivers door speaker and my right rear passenger speaker were nonfunctional.
But STILL had to push a button to wake the phone up, before trying to speak both clearly and loud enough to overcome the noise level in my 185,000 mile Alaskan Subaru and hope S Voice's voice recognition would work.
I saw an application called Tasker and one called AutoVoice and without looking into the complexity involved bought them. Oops...
I'd like to be able to stick the Galaxy S4 into the fancy (And KickAss) iBolt, start my car, and be able to turn the phone on with a voice command, and then use the S Voice feature built into the device to call my Geriatrician.
So I'd appreciate any help y'all might condescend to supply. From lurking about I do believe this Forum is the Mount Olympus where the Android God's and Goddesse's dwell.
other than tapping the home button twice (default setting I believe) there is no other way afaik
