Wired Headset Button

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

answer/ignore -> where's my mute?

hi all,
if my mda rings, i want to be able to like 'mute' it. i can do this by 'pulling down' the volume slide button (second left from top) while a phone call comes in, but the software keeps showing that the phone is ringing.
is there a way (or software) which allows me to choose to 'mute' the call, while not interfering with my software?: like saying:
"ok i understand someones calling me, don't REJECT that someone, but let the phone ring (for that someone), while at the same time not informing me (anymore) that im being called!"

Use the Volume button to turn off the sound when you receive a call. ( Move it up or down)

Yeah I agree... I'd like to see an IGNORE - or SILENT button like the nokia OS has.
I hate having to pull the phone out of my pocked - look at the caller and think "nah, don't wanna talk to them", and not have a button to click on...
Saying all that, after a month you get used to hitting the volume on the side... one tap and the phone stops ringing...
As far as I know - thats it...

there is a program i used to use with my nokia 6630 which ignores selected ppl's calls, its called blackballer. there are also a couple other programs out there that do the same thing, but dont know of any for PPC, will keep my eyes out though.

hi.
i know of such a program for the ppc pe, it's called:
"Call SMS Blocker Lite v0.5.5"

The thing is, here you preset what is blocked or not, and it works OK, but:
It still does not allow you to silently surpress an incoming call AD HOC and carry on with whatever you are doing on your ppc pe :roll:

what does the button on you're headset do ???

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.

Reprogram Bluetooth headset button

I have a Cingular 8125 (2.17 ROM, I believe) and recently got a Motorola HS850 BT headset. It's setup and works great, but I want to know if there is a way to reprogram the call button on the headset so that when you hit it instead of opening the Voice Dial on the phone it can instead open Voice Command (which I use for everything else.) I tried poking around on the boards and didn't see anything specific, any help (or just knowing it's not possible) would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Doug

Found it
I found the answer with a little more searching. It turns out to be a registry entry for Voice Command - and it DOES work with Bluetooth (even though MS' description says it does not.)
Just change this registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\VoiceCommand\Path
change the value from \Windows\SDDialer.exe to \Program Files\Voice Command\VoiceCMD.exe
Soft reset the phone and voice command will work when you hit the connect button on your phone.

I heard that it does not close the audio gateway however when you are done with the call...
is this true?

thanks a lot man, this was buggin the hell out of me! quick forum search and i found ur post. thx for doing the leg work

I placed a call with it and when the call was done used the button on the headset to terminate the call...it seemed to work okay.

i just tried it and it seemed to work just fine. the only thing i don't like, and it probably has to do with my headset, is how long i have to hold down the button for...but i can deal with that, so that i don't have to take out the phone!

I guess that the issue is with the regular voice dialer, you can just press the button to dial out, and when the caller hangs up, the audio gateway closes, you dont have to hit the button to close it.
I'm gonna give this a shot to see if I like it.

I did notice that it seems like I have to hit the call key twice in order for it to recognize the key press....maybe the first is to close the old channel and the second opens a new one? I don't have enough knowledge to say for sure, but there is no visual indication on the phone that the voice channel has not been closed.

That's probably what's happening. If you forget to close the voice channel after your call, you'll run down your headset's battery faster. I can tell that the channel is open because I can hear very faint hissing.
Of course, the point is moot for me because on my device (like many others) this trick only works until a call has been placed and ended. After that the button no longer triggers voice command. :-|

Xperia Ring volume up and down.

Looks like I'm having another strange "quirk" of my Xperia.
For some reason my ringtone goesu p and down when it rings.
It starts loud for about half a second then goes quiet, then after a second or two goes loud again, then quiet and so on, so forth.
Anybody got any ideas why it does this? The damn thing is too quiet as it is let alone with the volume wobbling up and down all over the place.
I'm using an mp3 that I trimmed with mp3 trimmer, the mp3 volume is normal, i have tried it on PC and bluetoothed it to several other phones.
Of note, after a hard reset it worked normal for a little while, but then started doing this again.
A friend suggested it might be a feature of "something" i have installed so you can tell the difference between the ringer and your music that's playing.
I just find it annoying and would like to fix it.
Any suggestions, ideas welcome. Thanks.
P.S. It happens with other ringtones already on the device also.

If you have installed Microsoft Voice Commander, uninstall it.
I had the same problem, after uninstalling Microsoft Voice Commander its working fine.

I have the same problem, but I kind of like how it varies.

Correct
You are correct, I do have voice command installed. I wonder why the voice command would be made to change the ringer volume though, it's not like it's to prevent the system thinking the music is a voice command, because a key has to be pressed first, in which case the music would pause.
My only other idea is that (like nokias etc) the part where the volume decreases, the system (voice command software) is supposed to "read" the contact name out loud to you. (but it doesn't).

so if you uninstall microsoft voice command, does it mean the phone will not have the feature for VOICE DIALING?
cause i use microsoft voice command in order to make phone call while im plugged into my wired headset

Yup - go to Settings and MS Voice Command, select Phone, Options and untick "Announce incoming calls".

Thank You, i was terribly worried

I guess there is enough software around, that provides you the feature of voice dialing. I for instance use VITO Voice Dialer.
