Headset button re-mapping.. - Mogul, XV6800 General

Is there a way to remap the headset button to start voice command instead of the stock voice dialer program?
It's got to be a reg key somewhere but I have yet to find it..

um, how about start -> settings -> buttons?
Sometimes the solution is so simple, you don't notice it!

Um.. yea.. ok, I think I looked there FIRST...
There has never been an option for the button on the headset for any of the phones I've had...
Thanks for the intuitive reply tho

hheheh.
Are you talking about remapping the "wired" headset button? all bluetooth buttons default to the voice command when pressed, but the wired that coems with the mogul hasn't worked for me either.
I've done some research and found a program that does it, but I think i didn't like it becuase it changed something for bluetooth, sorry I don't have the link.
I just finally decided to get a bluetooth wireless,(Motorokr s9)

Oh! The WIRED headset!
I thought you meant the button on the side of the device that normally goes to the voice app.
Its hard to change the wired one because it isn't a standard button... its hardware(HTC)-specific, and so it wouldn't appear in a standard reg key.
In fact, we're sorta lucky that the button launches anything at all, because in older HTC phones the headset button only sent an "answer" signal, so it was useless for anything other than picking up calls.
If you're desperate, you can write an app that sits waiting for the "Voice Dial" signal, and launches something else, or maybe replace the voice dial .exe with a link to voice command... which is also difficult since that program exists in the ROM... but anything is possible if you are inclined to try hard enough!

Let me hijack this thread for a bit. Maybe you can help me out with something.
What I would like, or maybe this exists already, is a method to use my S9's with TCPMP Controls - to be able to use the Next/Previous keys on the headset to switch tracks on TCPMP.
When I do so now, they make a sound, but do nothing. They do work for Windows Media Player, but WMP doesn't work well with ORB. Any ideas on how to do this

The latest version of TCPMP works with AVRCP (the bluetooth audio controls), however it is now called CorePlayer and costs $.
I've seen someone here write an app that will allow GSplayer to work with those controls, and GSplayer is free (and supports streaming audio, but not video). Its possible to adapt that to other players as well, but I haven't figured out how, and no one has made assigning custom commands to those keys an easy process (yet).
I use MortPlayer with my A2DP/ AVRCP headsets instead of WMP because its much more efficient, supports all my remote controls (and shuts the screen off to save battery after every keypress) and remembers where I was up to when I last closed the program (I hate it how WMP makes you load a playlist every time you open it!).
For streaming video, I just use TCPMP and don't bother with the remote controls... if I'm watching something on the screen, I don't mind pressing it. Remote controls for me are useful for music or any application in which the phone is tucked away somewhere. Why would you need it for video?
Well then, consider the thread hijacked. We now return to our regularly scheduled conversation.

Setting up Voice Command or should I use Voice2Go

Hi,
I have installed the trial version of Voice Command and have done the registry changes to make it the default dialer. So when I press the bluetooth headset button it's activated.
My first problem is that it only works sometimes. It doesn't always understand me and I generally have to shout and be very 'robot' like to get it to work. Sometimes even though I hear the starting beeps it doesn't even tell me that it didn't understand, it just ignores me (bit like talking to the missus)..What is strange is that the original voice dialer worked perfectly and was very accurate. Has anyone either had this problem or got a solution?
I have seen that the product Voice2Go and was wondering if this was better. I understand that it can also support macros?
P
See this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=172717#172717
It´s your solution . The BEST
Hmm.. I'm not sure that I like the CONS
I use tomtom and definately need that.
Also, it's not just the dialer I wanted. Voice Command and Vito's Voice2go also offers the ability to use your voice to access other features like the time, next appoinments etc..

Voice Activation Software

I quite like the Cyberon voice dialer utility, and use it as much for the applications as for voice dialing (saves me navigating around the Wizard when I can't be bothered), but I kinda feel like it could do a little more and wondered if there was either an update (can't see one on the Cyberon webpage) or maybe some alternative software you guys could recommned?
I was thinking about one that uses voice commands to securely lock the phone for instance, or maybe one that can do macros, control functions within Media Player (pause, play, next, etc.), and other stuff. I realise this might be a bit hopeful, but some advice/recommendations on good voice activation software woud be nice, nonetheless.
Thanks in advance.

There're several additioanl voice controller apps; see my earlier reviews linked from here.
This link does not work since the whole site has been upgraded
I have search the new FTP and could not find it...
Can you send it though PM?
This way I can try it and maybe help you to solve the issue you are facing

microsoft voice command will launch any app in the startmenu, you can rename the app to something easily recognised. you can add shortcuts to the startmenu or programs folder to point to any app with arguments, within the shortcut.
I don't know of any way to control a media player by voice other than simply launching the player. I need to use the headset for voice control if listening to audio, the recognition doesn't work if music is playing via the speaker.

Audible Clock available on WM5?

Hi. I posted an inquiry about a clock program that could be linked to a bluetooth headset, but there wasn't a response so I figured it wasn't available. A few weeks later, I was informed that Voice Command allows one to get the time by giving a vocal command. However, I didn't see that function listed on the Microsoft website. It got me wondering if there was a program that gives the time through the speakers (audible clock)? It would be nice to get the time quickly without having to pull my phone out of the holster to see the time (I don't like wearing my watch). This would only work if one could map it to one of the buttons and have it turn on even in standby mode.
MS Voice command (VC) can tell you the time. You need to 'ask' for the time. It is not 100% accurate (70%), and it is definately much faster to look at it rather to push the button to activate VC, 'ask' for the time, wait for it to recognise what you are saying, and listen carefuuuuly what it said (if you are lucky that it recognise what you are saying).
There is an app that tells you the time at a specific intervals (I don't think it does on-demand-time-telling), not a full blown stable release though. Do a serach in this forum.
I would like my phone to fetch my letters from the box when they arrives. Anyone with that software?
Thanks for the reply. Is the accuracy problem based on coming out of standby? I noticed that it takes a brief moment to adjust the time when coming out of standby. When I performed a search on this forum, I didn't see such a program, but I might have restricted the search to only the Wizard forum. Perhaps I need to expand that search. Certainly, a Google search did not yield what I wanted.
The accuracy I meant was, whether it will do what you told it to do. Example, if you asked for the time, 30% (depending on your surrounding noise level), it may not recognise the command, or probably dial a number for you
Hmm.. I must admit, it is much difficult to search for that application that I've mentioned. I'll try and let you know if I got it.
found this... not the one that I'm looking for.. it is not free.. and rather heavy
http://vitotechnology.com/en/products/voicereminder.html
Thanks for looking. Yeah, you were right. It isn't quite what I'm looking for. It looks as if Voice Command is the only program that has the feature I'm looking for. Thanks again.
Long shot.. but this seems to do what you want
http://software.pocketpcthoughts.com/product.asp?id=10422
again, not free (not the one I remmebered)
Thanks for looking. I found an audible clock!!! And it's free.
http://www.grapefruitopia.com/smartphone/clock.shtml
It works for WM5 phones and it has to be installed in the storage card. I had it link up to the bluetooth through the Voice Speed Dial function on the Settings menu. I had to create a shortcut and paste the shortcut to the windows/programs folder.
The clock is audible. I haven't figured out how to make it go through the Bluetooth headset yet. I tried to toggle the headset with BTAudio, but when I use the headset to get the time, the headset will toggle back off. If there was a way to keep the headset on for about 3 seconds after the device receives the voice input, then I would be able to hear the time on the headset. This feature would be get for crowded areas when one can't hear the speaker.
Anyone know of a registry hack that might be able to keep on the headset for a few seconds while the time is being announced?
Thanks.
Okay. Got it working. For those who would like to use the BT headset to get the time, here is a way. Download and install the SpeakingClock program (link above) into the storage card. Download and install BTAudio (Toggle version). Download and install MortScript. Write a script to batch both programs to run in sequence.
Example:
#MortScript BT and SpeakingClock
Sleep (500)
Run ("\Program Files\BTAudio\BTAudioToggle.exe")
Sleep (1000)
Run ("\Storage Card\clock\SpeakingClock.exe")
Sleep (3000)
Run ("\Program Files\BTAudio\BTAudioToggle.exe")
Save as a .mscr file and place it in the MortScript folder. Create a shortcut of the script to the \Windows\Start Menu\Program Files folder. Use Voice Speed Dial on the Setting Menu to link a voice command to the script and you have a free speaking clock through your BT headset.
Of course, I guess it would be easier to wear a watch...but, I don't wear one.
- Cheap watch - $10
- Bluetooth head set - $40
- PDA Phone - $400
- Able to tell the time with your PDA through your bluetooth head set without looking at your watch (if you have one) - priceless

Recording telephone call

I would like to be able to record an telephone call by pushing a softkey.
I have HTC voice recorder installed, but it is not easy to activate recording while in a call.
Also as far as I know, there is only the possibility to program ONE hardwarekey (longpress off hook), and that one is already occupied by another program.
So I wondered whether it is somehow possible to program the softkeys that appear when I am involved in a call?
Or do you know another possiblity to activate call recording simply?
im interested too!
Action Screen
Hi there,
I don't know if this helps ur case but when you use actionscreen you can program your softkeys under the today tab, might be possible te get a record button then, not sure but i thought i mention it mine are set to left Action and right Shutdown, anyway hope this helps..

Can the diamond record both sides of a telephonic call ?
I think no... plz someone can contradicts me ?
However you need Softkey Manager for diamond
It should be invented.
When you record a call using the voice recorder it only records your own voice, but when you put the call on speakerphone it will record both parties. Probably because of the sound from speaker loops back in to the mic.
I'm already searching so long for a good working call recording tool but still no eureka.
can somebody not create a program that will record every phone call, in and out, from both parties, id love to have something like that. much better than the standard.
it's an hardware limitation af all windows mobile based pdas
resco audio recorder can auto record, but the other party voice will be slightly softer
You could also try Vito Audio Notes Touch. It also has an option to record all calls automatically. http://www.iwindowsmobile.com/mobile-audio-recorder.html

Its a hardware limitation of all HTC based Windows mobile based PDAs... Some others can do it but not many. It's enough to drive a user to symbian

I just installed this one.
The loudness of the recording of the other party seems just enough.
I don't want to record all calls.
THe program also offers the possibility to assign actions like 'start recording' to a hardware button. I tried several buttons (off hook, left, action, home), but none of them work, or have already another function, during a call.
A possible option could be to have an extra touch button on the screen when you are involved in a call (just like the button to put a call on hold). But I don't know how that could be done.
ANy ideas?
Today I discovered another unwanted side effect of this recording program.
When I made an phonecaal it appeard that the other party could not hear my voice.
The cause appeared that the recording program was still running in the background. AFter I closed this application the sound was OK again.
On my old nokia phone recording voice calls could be done with one key press
think u can try to turn off recording in background so u can view the recording screen during a caqll n stop the recording. i dont have such issue of others no hearing my voice during the recording
it's strange that such little feature, that so many other phones have had in the past, is so hard to get on an htc device. and funnily enough, i remember reading in manual for the original touch, that before recording a call you have to check whether it's legal and inform the other side... so there's gotta be a way
maybe someone feels like taking a challenge of making a simple app, that would allow you to record the conversations?
the only htc device i ive used that supports recording of both sides is htc startrek
there must be a way to record both sides of a phone call (without a speaker...)
there must be a way to do this, if the audio stream cannot be accessed programatically how do bluetooth headsets work?
i'm sure there would be lots of cool applications for this if someone could work it out, but it never seems to arouse much interest in the techie experts on here when i've mentioned it in the past.
in my very old WM5 smartphone SP5 it can record the call of both sides with a good quality by using this program
(not tested in the diamond try it if you want)
tesing it..
installed it on my diamond - it seems to work - but there is no option to record phone calls...
+ \there is an automates answering machine caleled: "isecretary" - it canrecord incommind phonecalls- maybe they have found a solution??

[App] [Cab]Use you stock Headset as remote, updated version

I've installed MP-NT.cab by derliebewolf (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471317) and understand that it is not convenient for me. First, after installing
MortScript, shell32.exe became to charge CPU of my X1 at 100%. Second, I want at least 2 actions from the headset: play\pause and
next track. After analysing derliebewolf's script, I understood that I can write more advanced programm.
How to use
Run SetupMPXHeadset.CAB from the attachment and install the programm. Press the Microphone Button on the headset and hold it for
about 2 seconds. If MortPlayer is running, you'll hear a "ding" sound. After hearing this sound you can act 2 ways: 1) release
the button and press & hold it once again - than you'll jump to the next track; 2) Release the button - than you'll pause\play
the track. If MortPlayer is not running, press & hold the button to run voice dialer programm (by default the standart dealer is
chosen). You can change MortPlayer commands and voice dialer programm by running "Setup MPXHeadset" from Programs menu.
At the first run a warning message about unsigned program can be shown. You should choose "Yes".
Thanks
Derliebewolf for an excellent idea
Mort for the best PPC-Player
P.S. This is the programm I've finished writing a few hours ago, so there can still be some bugs in it. If you find any, write here about it and I'll try to do my best to fix it.
I can give the source code if anybody is interested.
Update:
Added SetupMPXHeadset.v1.CAB - a new version with improved settings dialog
Added mpcNotifyc.src.zip - Source code (VS 2005 solution)
thanks mate....i thinks its betta den da previous one......
if u can send me its source code....plz doo send me....i would like to have a look at it....
Works pretty good Only I switched the two actions cause I skip more then I pause.
Is there a way to make it faster? So that when the "ding" comes it will skip to the next song immediatly?
I don`t pause very often, I just take out the ear plugs if I need to hear something..
dekeijzer,
if you want to use 2 commands, it is not possible to make it much faster (((
But I can make second command optional, so this programm will able to work the way like derliebewolf's script.
Well I decided I liked to have 2 options anyway .
But, there is a bug in the program. When I get a text message the player skips to the next song!
I switched the "next" and "play" commands so that 1 press is "next". I allso hear the same beep as when I press the button on my headset...
@coldhurricane:
Nice work, sounds promising! What really bugs me (and neither my, nor your programm can solve that) ist the absence of a full-featured remote. With at least three to four buttons. But you managed to get a step closer to it, congrats.
Anyway, I'll stick with my solution, as I do not need play/pause...And I was just sharing what I "developed" for myself
dekeijzer,
I can't repeat you bug with song change on my device...
Maybe, you have some program on your device which maps incoming text message as voice deal???
derliebewolf,
I did the same
n95 remote
is there a way to use the n95 remote, it is full featured.
regards
t.
Wow! Great work dude. This is one hell of a nice app. Though I hate the interface of Mortplayer, because it is so god damn uggly. Is there not a way you can make this work on the Touch flow 3d player or something?
Awsome work anyways, thanks for your share!!
