Hello,...
I am new here and thought you might help me with my little problem.
I allready searched the forum for that issue, but i did not find a real solution, so maybe someone can help me find a solution. Btw. please excuse my bad englisch, i am from Germany and really try my best.
Well, i have a german XDA Mini with BigStorage Rom 1.12.01 GER and Windows Mobile 2003.
I really have 2 problems now with the use of Microsoft Voice Command 1.5 and a Bluetooth Headset (not with Handsfree Profile).
My first Problem is, how can i make the Software response on pressing one of the 2 Headset Buttons. I really would like to initiate voice dialing with that so that i can leave the phone in my bag or whereever. I read something about a registry change, but i don't have that registry key, so maybe i need to install another software for that first.
If anybody could give me a easy to understand way to activate that, that would be really great.
My second Problem is, how can i use my BT Headset for the Audio Output. I can't hear the voice of Voice Command in the Earphone, it only plays on the XDA Mini itself. I downloaded a Bluetooth Stach Patch which gave me the option to stream audio to headset, abut my Headset isn't show in the list, and it does not work. I tried a Headset with Handsfree Profile from Plantronics (M3000), but it also did not show in the list. Can anyone help me with this ?
Well if could get this to work somehow that would be really really great...
Thanks in advance...

Funny...I was researching this almost exactly as you were posting (research starting at XDA-Developers, of course!)
I found a rather distressing article at http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2006/02/03/524289.aspx that basically says that Microsoft Voice Command doesn't work over Bluetooth. HOWEVER, responses to the article reveal the registry hack to set Voice Command to the default Bluetooth dialer. It is:
HKLM\Software\OEM\VoiceCommand\Path=\Program Files\Voice Command\voicecmd.exe
I tried this on my Cingular 8125 with Motorola H500. Have to press the button twice (a problem also documented in the responses), and recognition is reduced, but it works! Voice Command audio is also piped to my headset.

Well, thanks alot for this tip, but it doesen't work for me. I tried changig the value to the path where my Voice Command is installed, but it did not do anything.
I think this is because i don't have a voice dialing software at all istalled on my device. Maybe i need to install another software first to activate the bluetooth support itself and than change the path to the program.
I figured out that i can make a redial with my headset without installing any software, so maybe there is a way to change this option to start voicecmd.exe.
I looked over the registry to find the key where the redial is initiated, but can't fins anything.
Has anyone done something like that ? I guess this is the only way to use voice command with BT Headset...
For all your help, thanks in advance...
Thalys
Sorry for Doublepost, but i wanted to say that the activation is now possible with the VCABT Project hack. That works now perfectly.
The only thing i wonder about is, is the mic in the headset used to recognize the voice ? Sometimes it is like still the mic in the machine is used.
I now only need a way to transfer the system audio to my headset... is that possible somehow ???
Thanks ... Thalys
@Thalys: If you'd know how to use a forum in the first place this whole thread wouldn't exist at all! It's all answered in the thread regarding the VCABT project. Since you found out about it I wonder why are posting those kinda questions... :roll:
Ok, sorry for that thread, it can be closed...
I did not read all the thread and thought that maybe another way is possible.
I now will keep an eye on the VCABT Project Thread to see if there is news to get this working...
Thanks for all your support... please Close
Thalys
well, voice command automaticcaly pauses the music playback, if you push the VC-Button (Camera-Button at the moment), to listen what you have to say trough the microphone of the HEADSET! So we really need "only" a possibillity to use the Headset-Button instead of for example the camera button. Everything else works quite good. :roll:

I m using Wizard and samsung SBH100 stereo BT and it works fine for me.
Whenever I use my bluetooth headset (Motorola HS850) I can hear the person on the other end just fine but they cannot hear me unless I literally SCREAM. Since that's obviously not a decent workaround I've taken to not using my headset. I miss it and want to use it again.
I've searched the forums and read through this thread completely. I cannot find a single answer that everyone agrees upon.
Can someone please tell me how to increase the volume of the mic of my headset?
I'm runnning Mr Clean's 2.3 ROM (non-UK version).
I have the same problem with all 3 my BT headsets, my bluetrek G2, my i-tech stereo headset and my Sony Ericson BT Car Kit.
What is worse: even when using the the wizard as a normal phone people complain they can't hear me and I also have difficulty in hearing them. I am on the same rom as you.
Without the headset everthing's fine. I hear them, they hear me, no problems at all. Add the headset and the problems begin.

try to increase value of HEADSET_UPLINK_VOLUME registry key. it worked for me.
Thanks, that was the key that looked most promising in the thread I refered to in the OP.
I have in fact already tried changing that from 13 to DD but to no avail. What did you change it to?

i've changed it to DD. works with me..
Anyone else?
Hard to believe I'm the only one with this issue. Anyone else got a solution I can try?
(in other words: BUMP)
i have the same problem.. i jsut bought a Jabra JX10 after having a Moto BT850 and there's no volume for the BT headset.. highly annoying becuase noone can hear me.. i'm going to try the registry setting for the headset, but instead of DD i'm trying CC which worked wonders for using the regular mic.. we'll see
Hi guys
Did either of you get anywhere with this? My O2 Xda Mini S also has this issue. Geesh you'd think they'd test these things before releasing products!
I've tried setting the following to FF & CC under *all* 4 of the AUDIOGAIN folders:
EARPHONE_UPLINK_VOLUME
HEADSET_UPLINK_VOLUME
RECEIVE_UPLINK_VOLUME
I then rebooted, and things are no different. It's weird though because if you take off the Bluetooth (I use the Jabra BT500) and talk directly into the Mic, it sounds perfect - just not when worn on the ear! I thought my old BT200 was faulty due to this, which is why I wrongly bought a new one :roll: Thanks O2/HTC!
Come on guys, let's get this sorted for everyone. Who knows something and isn't telling?

I wish I did. Sadly I've given up and no longer use my BT headset. I miss it like crazy but like you, reached a dead end. If someone has a solution please, please share.
Looks like nobody is able to help us with this.
Is yours an O2 Xda Mini S?
If so have you reported it to O2 technical as I have?
What Bluetooth(s) have you tried?
I started this thread to identify working Bluetooth headsets, but so far only one reply. Maybe it's a brand-by-brand issue:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=330649#330649
O2 suggested replacing the phone against my wishes (as others have reported the volume issues and reg hacks). I will report back if I still have the problem with the replacement.
have you guys compared roms? I noticed two people were using the same rom? If everyone with this issue is using the same rom, then maybe that could be the underlying issue...? I'm using the Cingular 2.25 rom and never had this problem.
I was using O2 v2.21.4.101
ROM
I'm using Mr. Clean's 2.24a ROM and love it. I downloaded the ROM on the advice of a friend who uses the same ROM and successfully uses a BlueTooth headset so I'm reasonably confident that it's not the ROM.
re help
well I'm using a wizard with the cingular cf2 multi installer. the wizard is an imate kjam and hs850. after reading this thread u might want to try the settings for the mic agc. enable it and see. my problem is when ppl talk its low. I have to press the headset against my ear so I can hear them. as well as them hearing me. so we all in the boat. I will try the enable mic agc and report back.
cheerz
agc?
again
AGC? Anyone? Bueller?
AGC = Microphone Auto Gain Control.
It should be in the Settings under the System tab if your rom has it. Basically this only works with the built-in mic though and not wireless headsets.
No AGC doesn't help, but I suspect this is some issue to do with the level at which the Wizard uses echo cancellation. I think it is expecting a louder voice through the Bluetooth and as it doesn't hear a voice above the correct level, it barely transmits the audio.
I use the Jabra BT500 and if I take it off my ear and talk normally into the mic hole, callers can hear me really really well. It's just in the 'on-ear' position that it doesn't work.
*Update* I have received a replaced Xda Mini S, and tried it with its original v1.x ROM and the new v2.x ROM. Both have the same problem. So, I have tried:
Different Jabra headset
Different Xda Mini S
Different ROM
Changing all the registry settings as per the other thread
...all in different combinations
I therefore suspect it may simply be that the Wizard is incompatible with Jabra bluetooth headsets.
melvynadam, what headset are you using?

Motorola HS850. I used to have a Motorola phone and a Pa1m0ne Tungsten T3 but decided that I'd rather carry a single device. The HS850 worked wonderfully with the Motorola phone and I really miss having a BT headset.
HELLO EVERY ONE
I HAVE SEARCHED THIS FORUM FOR ALL THE BT AUDIO INFO I NEEDED B4 I POSTED THIS TOPIC ABOUT IT AGAIN
IVE BEEN AN MDA MOMMY SINCE MARCH AND IM VERY WELL EDUCATED TO UNDERSTAND HOW IT WORKS
I HAVE BOTH BT AUDIO APPS
1 FROM TRIANGLE POWERS AND ONE FROM SOME HERE A WHILE BACK
also i have the registry tweaks to help it work also ..
since then I've had 2 bt head sets
the Motorola wedge one h500
and now the jabra 250v
and I've noticed that with the Motorola wedge my bt audio coming through it was find worked perfectly no cutting off no nothing
also had no problem activating my voice command through it either
with the jabra difficulties galore.. i cant do voice command
and when I'm listening to music or a movie i have like a good 3 minutes or less b4 it cuts off and all my sound to my whole phone is out. which causes a soft reset to be done.
I'm just wondering if there is any one else with a jabra 250v that is not having any problems with the bt audio tweak. and if possible can you tell me what you have done that is different from what i have
and if you are having the same problems with the jabra 250v hopefully you will find some help here
thanks in advanced
Chayda
i found the way to to it thanks for nothing lol
hi i have the same problem you do where the music cuts off suddenly then comes bak on, can you plz tell me how u got it sorted
I know this has been covered a bit but I have a quick question. MS is saying you need to have AKU 3.2 to get VC to announce caller's over your BT Headset. Has anyone found a simple way to make this work on an earlier ROM. Lately I've been running mostly Molski's ROM, but I dabbled in Faria's 3.2. I swore I had BT working totally with a 2.26 ROM, but am I on crack?
I liked Faria's 3.2 but I was missing too many calls. Is there any way to upgrade just teh BT in an older ROM to make this work. (I'm sure my inexperience shows in this question. If its impossible to do, just say the word and I'll patiently wait for a new 3.2 or 3.5 ROM or just forget about this)
I have two answers to your question.
The first is use the A2DP hack found in this forum and get a stereo bluetooth headset. The iTech Clip R35 or S35 both come with the two headphones; one with only one earbud, so you aren't covering both your ears. When you have a stereo bluetooth headset, all sound, including the calls from MS Voice Command are redirected to your headset.
The second is use the program found here:
http://www.pdaphonehome.com/forums/...luetooth-headset.html?perpage=20&pagenumber=1
It basically redirects all sound to bluetooth (probably a cheaper and easier fix); I haven't tried it yet, but it seems like it might be the solution you are looking for.
I also liked having the feature of calls announced through bluetooth, but it never did seem to work. I have been meaning to download the program from the site, but just haven't gotten chance. If you try it, let me know if it works.
Thanks.
I wonder how hard it would be to get that little program to run automatically when connected to a head set
yeah theres nothign cooler than wearing a stereo headset while driving. Thanks but no thanks.
I've used BT audio with v1.5, and it wasnt for me. i still use it to listen to podcasts via my headset on occasion though.
The nice thing about 1.6 when it was working (mist have been with Faria's ROM) was that I didn't hear my normal phone ringtone through the headset. It rang like normal through my headset, but it would announce the callers name. Its a cool feature.
edit: I must have been wrong. It does divert the ringtone through your headset as well. This gives me hope that I can work somethign out using BTAudio.
Yeah it is a cool feature. You can go to the notification settings in voice command (Settings -> Personal -> Voice Command) and change it so that notifications are done when bluetooth is available (the second radio button). If the notifications cannot sound through your headset, they will come from the phone speaker so you will still be able to hear who is calling without looking at your phone. Doesn't really help if your phone is in your pocket or if you can't hear it, but I guess its the next best alternative.
I have a cooked T-mobile 2.26 ROM and use MS VC 1.6 over my BT205 no problems. I was previously using the original O2 rom and has it working on that too so both an AKU2.0 and an AKU2.3 work fine. To install try this:
remove VC if installed
remove headset pairing
soft reset
create headset pair and leave it switched on
install vc1.6
soft reset
add path string to HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\VoiceCommand\
i.e. \Program Files\Voice Command\VoiceCMD.exe
soft reset
then try the button on the headset a few times

I'm not having trouble using BT with VC. I want the Incoming call announcements to come over BT.
I installed Farias 3.2 and it worked, but I decided its not a huge deal. I'll try playing around looking at some of teh links here and see if I can't work somethign out. Thanks everyone.
I would also love for voice command 1.6 to announce incoming calls to my bluetooth headset. Interestingly, low battery announcements come through the bluetooth headset, but not incoming calls. Hmmm. Any suggestions/luck getting this to work?
Best,

Just wanted to let everyone know I tried it out today and it works as expected. Phone audio gets redirected to BT headset on incoming calls.
but does the ringer get re-directed also? cuz if so thats DAMN ANNOYING!
Well I dont mean to sound condescending to a "senior member" cuz im just a junior but did it cross your mind to select "none" as your ringer? Oh, Btw everyone, your welcome for my fantastic little file
What exactly does the file do???
I had troubles with VC 1.6 at first, but now it seems to work OK. Maybe I accidentally followed Riptos's instructions. Don't know.
Also BTAudio is working to redirect audio when I want that to happen, since VC now closes the audio after it finishes.
The only remaining minor glitch is that after giving a dial command, the little simulated dialing noise comes over the phone speaker not the headphone. So if the phone isn't right by, I don't always know whether it has dialed or not.
Any suggestions?
I tried the CallerID program. It works just as described. The only thing is that is takes up ~443.48 KB at startup. I just installed it so I don't know if it increases after a while.
I have a question. If I understand everything correctly, with a AKU 3.2 ROM this CallerID program isn't necessary if I want to get Incoming Call Announcements over Bluetooth. Right??
Has anyone gotten VC 1.6 to announce incoming calls over a STEREO Bluetooth headset? Seems like the discussions have only been for a hands free device. Anyone?
I don't have a 3.XX ROM and Voice Command notifications work on my stereo bluetooth headset without the program because I think wtih stereo bluetooth, all sound is redirected to the headset. I didn't do anything or change any settings, it just worked. I obviously have the A2DP hack installed, but that's it.
Hi folks,
I have a Cingular 8525 (Hermes 100/TYTN, I believe) running WM5 on the stock ROM from Cingular/AT&T (the recently upgraded one). I am trying to redirect all audio output, no matter what it is, to my Plantronics Model 340 headset. This is a monaural headset, but I don't care, because all I want to do is listen to voice podcasts and audio quality is not an issue.
A few people have told me about the program "BTAudio," but I tried this and it doesn't appear to work on my phone. Running the BTAudioOn program produces a soft hiss in the headset, but other than that you hear nothing through it. BTAudioOff turns off the hiss.
I thought that maybe this would work better with the WIDCOMM stack that you folks have been working on, but I can't find an actual install guide for that or anything saying "hey, this is ready to go and you should use it now."
Help?

Thanks! anyone else have other ideas? I would prefer not to go with trialware as there exist other solutions that work fine on other handsets.
I feel like there's just one little thing I'd have to tweak somewhere to get it to work, if only I knew what it was.
Actually, a couple of things happened here:
1) At first it didn't work.
2) Then I held down the button on my headset, and the Voice Speed Dial application started itself, all the audio was redirected to the headset for about 5 seconds, and then it stopped.
3) Then THIS stopped and wouldn't work anymore. Then when I pressed the "play" button in the Today screen plugin, it started working (for the two-minute trial period). I haven't been able to make it work again since.
I think there is some chance I could make this work if I could disable the Voice Speed Dial application, but I don't know how :-/
