Does anyone have a step-by-step way of removing that blasted Cyberon rubbish from the Ameo? I bought (having tried, um... other sources) MSVC 1.6 UK from Handango, wondering if perhaps a real EXE-from-PC install would somehow work "better", but same problems.
I had it working yesterday via BT headset to listen, but no notifications came through so commands were messed up. Removed it, and installed again; I've remapped the "Web 'n' Walk" key to activate it. Now what I don't understand is this:
Installed yesterday. No attempt to remove Cyberon:
Worked okay for a while. Worked with BT headset button. Didn't respond to commands from BSH-100 headphones, but they're junk anyway. Bluetooth started getting unreliable and wouldn't pair with Nokia BH-200 headset after working fine with it for an hour or so.
Removed MSVC. Reinstalled. It's in the startup folder and so forth. Button on wired headset triggers damn Voice Speed Dial. Haven't tried bluetooth yet. Responds to commands with hardware button, but no option exists to map command to wired headset button.
Removed Sddaemon startup item. STILL comes up when I use the wired headset button.
It's REALLY annoying and frustrating, as MS Voice Command DOES work effectively as a tool. It just doesn't, well, work. And I think nearly all of the problems it has are down to the presence of this Voice Speed Dial, which I will never use - I'm not recording voice tags for everything, this is the 21st Century!
Also, why doesn't TCPMP follow UI conventions?! It keeps starting up in portrait mode and won't fix itself unless I use the T-Mobile "screen rotation" icon.
EDIT:
Okay. I paired the Anycom headset to it.
As a Bluetooth headset, the button dials, makes calls, and if held, brings up Voice Commander. Notifications now come through the headset, and commands are definitely going to the device, but music is played through the unit, not the headphones.
As stereo headphones, the buttons work, but it doesn't hear commands from the microphone in the headphones - only via the built-in microphone. But music (with joint stereo enabled) comes through the headphones alright.
Other than that the Ameo definitely kicks arse, having GPS etc. built in is excellent. Is it really 802.11g, though - or is it like a hacked Universal with 802.11b speed pretending to be 802.11g?

Has anybody got the above or a similar headset to work with the jasjar and ms voice command 1.5.
I have tried the advice in several of the other posts and i am not getting anywhere fast.
I have a successful pairing with the phone and the headset, as the headset kicks in and allows me handsfree operation whilst driving. I had no issues installing ms voice command.
I have downloaded resco and altered the settings in the registry like advised by rilot in earlier posts however all i get when i push the button on the bt headset is a neverending intermittent beep which only goes off when i power down the headset.
Anyhelp as always is greatly appreciated. I would love to get this software, or even the bundled cyberon voice speed dial software, to work of the headset
registry hack.
I have a SE 662 headset and it will only work once, after that it seems like the gate is left in 'limbo' you cannot use the headset to 'initiate' VC again.
One warm reboot you can then use it once again.
I'm interested which headsets are working well, I've head about the bluespoon X2 but I can't find that on the UK websites.
Let me know.
Thanks.
Jabra.
Jabra, is that the 250 or the 800?
Thanks for the reply
the jabra headsets are real good. i use the bt250v with my wizard and the 800 with my universal, and they are amazing. performance is great, battery life is superb.
ciao!
my jabra BT330
is working great !!!!!!!!
I use my Wizard with a Motorola HS801 Bluetooth Headset! Works well with it! ;-)
peteborota: I was given a Sony headset to use with the Universal to figure out some hacks (search for VJElectrify), and I also found that after the first use of voice command, the audio gateway is left open. I made an app (VJVolubilis) to close the gateway, disable bluetooth, reopen bluetooth, repair and then open the gateway again. It works, but it's a damn longwinded way to re-gain control of VC.
However, since the guy that gave me the headset had successfully been using it with VC on the same hardware (Universal), I think there may be a software combination causing this spazz up. I will hardreset at some point and try again, but I'd be interested in feedback on this issue as well.

my Sony-Ericsson HBH-660 works perfect with my Wizard
Motorola H500 works great too :lol:
Plantronics Voyager 510 works too
Plantronics Voyager 510 - excellent
Moto 810 works well. One thing I did notice is that there is about a 1-2 second delay in ability to recognize commands.
My Moto HS810 works with voice command (more than once, but you have to press the button on the headset 3 times to get it to trigger VC)
voyager 510 did not trigger vc at all.. ever.
moto H700 triggered only once then I had to reboot the phone.
mototola h820,
motorola h820 works perfectly, even with clam shell closed, the salesmen in the store dealing with the headsets advised me that motorolla bosted much further range and battery life over most other headsets, he also said that the nokia head sets, had the worst range and battery life, may be just his expert opinion, but I've been very happy with my choice
Re: mototola h820,
I use nokia HD3-w and it works good,but i have a serious problem with imate k-jam.because when i press and hold the bluetooth button it doesn't wake up the device when it is in standby mode but when i double press the bluetooth button it works on dialing the last number.does anyone have the same problem.
and also i want to know how often do you put your device on standby mode because i usually press the power button after using the device for example after a call.
thanks for sharing :wink:
I HAVE BEEN USING MY 4 YEARS OLD BLUESPOON.

LOVE IT..
IN THE US YOU CAN GET IT AT SOME RADIO SHACK, THE LOWEND VERSION,
Tamoochin,
I have the Jabra BT500 and it does the same thing your headset does - If I hold down the button for one second on the BT500, it wakes up the phone and dials the last number dialed. Like you, I turn off the power on the phone after each call. If I lightly tap on the BT500 button, the Blue Angel wakes up, and the headset symbol shows up in the top bar on the phone.
This leads me to believe that the Blue Angel could be programmed to start voice command instead of do the redial. Does anyone know how to do this. I have a PH20A (xv6600 from Verizon). I have Verizon's latest ship ROM and I've added Broadcom's High Quality Stereo A2DP profile which works great with the Bluetake Iphono 450rx stereo bluetooth headset.
Someone out there must know how to go into the registry and change the redial command to start voice command.
i have the logitech mobile freedom. if the device is out of standby then it work perfect with one tap. if it is on standby i get one tap and it does nothing. two taps and it wakes the device and three taps and the voice command comes on. doesn't work perfect but it works.
Nokia HS-21W - works flawlessly...

My HBH-662 and a Jabra BT200 both only work once per soft-reset. This is after a hard reset, only apps installed are Total Commander and Voice Command.
Also happens with three ROM revisions: The hacked O2 one, The Qtek 1671, and the new Qtek 208 with Push e-mail.
Maybe somehow we have different builds of Voice Command installed? My version number from the control panel applet is 1.50.4333.24.
I hope we can get to the bottom of this, Voice Command is a great tool, especially considering how unweildy the 9100 is to dial in the car.
Does anyone know how in WM5 I can make my Plantronics M2500 bluetooth headset, which shows up in bluetooth xection as "headset" work like an external speaker? In pocket2003 on my h6315 I was able to tell it to have all sound, or just phone sound go to my bluetooth, and I rather enjoyed listening to music while working. But I cannot find even half the options in the bluetooth section as in 2003.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
p.s. loving my MDA.
I found this out by accident. If you are running Microsoft Voice Command, evidently it does not shut down the link to the headset. I have found that if I start playing something (i.e., in Windows Media Player) and then activate Voice Command, and then just let Voice Command time out, the sound will switch to the bluetooth headset.
And Voice Command allows you to control the Media Player, as well!
headset as ear phones
I tried playing my media player then activationg voice command. Sorry didn't work for me. after the voice command timed out, it reverted to the mda speaker. Any thoughts?
There is a utility for this. It comprises 3 programs.
One turns on blutooth as the speaker, one turns it off, and the third toggles it.
I found this somewhere in the forum but can't remember where so I've attached it here.
Copy the programs to your wizard and run them as needed.
do a search for VJVolubilis. That will do what you are looking for also. I stream radio to the headset while at work pretending to be busy!
Ok guys, I finally picked up a stereo bluetooth setup and it works great for calls, but have one issue...when I play audio with WM player or TCPMP Core, its routed through the phones external speaker rather than the bluetooth. Is there anyway I can fix it so it will play all audio through the bluetooth headset?
Thanks,
GunRunner
Hi GunRunner,
I just got the Blue-Ant head set and it does not play the mediaplayer. However, I have a great set of Southwing headphones the go behind the head (very comfrotable) and not only can you listen to your music with full stero but answer calls, use voice dial and everything. Their GREAT. Cost was $99.00 USA.
Hope this helps
Beachboyde
That is the only thing I don't get about the bluetooth headset I have....voice dialing, calling, etc... all works great...just no audio plays through them....its almost like the programs don't support bluetooth playback...
GunRunner
I use this with my mono bluetooth
I use this with my slx 800, h350, and h800.
Btaudio v.1, but you need to change a registry value for the voicecommander duration. The problem has always been that when btaudio is turned on it only works as long as the voicecommander voice prompt length of time was. The registry value extends that and when btaudio is turned off, voicecommander works again. The registry valude is in HLKM -- software -- oem (or vice versa can't remember) and then voicecommanduration... change this value to 10000 or something big. It has worked for me so far. The only down side is that you can't use voice commands and btaudio routing at the same time. However, btaudio is convenient enough if it has a shortcut.
fyi -- if you use it, from time to time, you might have to switch off btaudio even when you didin't think it was on. This happens rarely, but when voicecommands don't work, that's usually why.
When I say voicecommander, for me, I'm referring to cyberian voice prompt thingy. I"m not sure how it might interact with other voice speed dial and voice prompt programs.
Hope this helps.
btaudio is freely available on the net. You can get it either here somewhere or on pocketpcfreeware.

I have a Philips SHB7102 that works very well via bluetooth.
It came as a 2 piece, transmitter and receiver. The idea is that you can plug the transmitter into your MP3 player. The receiver then plays the tunes but will also be your headset/speaker if a call comes in.
Currently, I'm just using the receiver by itself set as 'Wireless Stereo'.
When i use it with the JASJAM, the play/pause and skip tracks buttons on the receiver work through Media Player and HTC Audio. This is not the case for the IPOD.
I have had a Jabra BT Headset for a couple of years and it works well. I have recently purchased a XCarLink with BT and am now using this in my car instead of the headset. One thing that I liked about the headset was how it worked with M$ Voice Command - i.e. press the 'Talk' button and Voice Command would start and you could say 'call xxx' etc. With the XCarLink if I press the 'Talk' button this justs stops any music that was playing but doesn't start Voice Command.
Is there any tweak I can apply to get this behaviour?
Andy
More testing......
I have been doing some more testing with this as the Jabra BT headset stopped activating Voice Command...
Anyway I have tested a couple of different versions of Voice Command (1.6.19214 & the one from the Diamond 1.6.19581) and both behave the same. If A2DP Joint Stereo is enabled (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2DP\Settings - UseJointStereo=1) then the 'Talk' button on the BT headset no longer activates Voice Command. If Joint Stereo is disabled the 'Talk' button activates Voice Command (after a soft-reset).
I haven't had time to check the behaviour with the XCarLink but I will post the results when I do.
If anyone has any experience with this or knows a fix then I'd appreciate it.
Andy
Anyone been able to get voice dialling working from the Xcarlink? I just bought one and am having the same problems.
