After all the problems with Voice Command 1.6 and BT headsets I had with the Trinity and WM5, I just got an unexpected bonus.
Last night I decided to install mUn's TE of WM6.
I set up TomTom and Mobile Device Center 6.1 etc.
This morning I thought I might just try Voice Command. So I installed the UK 1.6 version, paired my headset (a Motorola H500) and changed the default mapping for "Button 1" back to the way I like it (CommManager).
Lo and behold pressing the BT headset button activates Voice Command. And it even appears to be working through the headset mic.
I put my phone face down 10 feet away and whispered a command which worked!
hoorah.
I hope it keeps working now ;-)

I'm fed up! currently using an Ericsson HBH-662 with it, and it's crap!!! I can only use the headset to activate the voice command once. Clicking the headset button does not release the channel. Consequently when I try and start MS Voice again I just get a dull click in the ericsson earpiece and it will not activate the headset.
Can anyone recommend a headset that is working well with the voice command hack.
thanks.
Is MS Upgrading Voice Command
I had exactly the same problem, I followed the instructions to get MS Voice Command to activate via the headset, then I couldn't disconnect. So I gave up.
I'm waiting for MS to release an upgrade that works properly with BT
It is a problem with VC not the headset. Note that VC isn't designed to do what we are trying. It requires a reg hack to even implement it. Hopefully it'll change, but a new headset likely won't help.
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.
V
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.
WWW.NEXTLINK.TO
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.
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.
voyager
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.
Peter
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
Hi guys,
Well, here's the thing:
I'm don't like the WM6-roms, because they drain the battery in less than a day (checked with different batteries). Anyway, because of that i'm still using a cooked rom (helmi i think), but that rom came without voice dail/recognition.
So i downloaded Ms Voice Command 1.6 and installed the program on my Universal. So far so good...
But here comes the problem; i have to address a button to Voice Commander, and because i'm using a wired headset (the one that T-mobile delivers with the Universal) it doesn't recognize the button on the wired headset.
According to Voice Command i have to go to <start>, <settings>, <buttons> to assign a button. That's ok, but since there are only 4 buttons (camara, light, videodial and message), how do i assign a function to the wired headset-button (button 5 i presume) ?
PS: strange face: i can answer and end a call with that wired headset-button :-x
Just got hold of a Universal to tide me over while I wait for the Kaiser/Vario 3 as I dropped my Vario I last week :-(
Question: Voice Command Worked fine on my Vario I for ages - I'm now trying to get this working on the Universal but whenever I press the activate button it kicks in fine but whatever I say I can hear through the earpiece (but the Universal can't) - almost like the mic is being fed directly to the speaker. Jabra BT250V.
My father-in-law had this phone before me and he had the same problem when trying to talk using BT (normal use, not Voice Command) - is it this/Jabra headset(s) or a prob with the Universal?
Using KDSKamal WM6 now (great, thanks!) - previous problems on original O2 WM5 so it makes me think that the problem is with the hardware but I'm open to suggestions!
Thanks
Aaron
