Hello dudes,
I have a little problem with the mda pro voice commands.
I would like to push the button on the standard headset and speak the voice command.
Unfortunately it doesn`t work and I don`t know how to change the settings for it. I`ve also heard, that is not possible to change it without modification.
What needs to be done?
Thank you
No idea?
Hi
Anyone found any software that offers reliable voice dialing? The MDA Pro comes with somet called "Voice Speed Dial" Its sh1te!
Has a habit of trashing the voice tags of its own accord, and often does not respond when I press button on bluetooth headset.
When the device is closed and off and you press the button on headset nothing happens (PPC is starting up etc) several presses are usually required before you can actually call the contact.
I just tried a trial version of microsoft voice command 1.5 (this I believe is what imate is shipping) unfortunately it cannot understand a word I say!! (could be the devonian accent).
I said 'call work' it said 'calling 999' I managed to hit it with a brick before it actually did call 999 !!!
Anyone suggest something that actually works (flawlessly). I dont mind training it if that means its gonna work!
Nigel
"microsoft voice command" all the way.
Thing is that it doesn't support dutch, but it does support english, german and american, so if you speak any of these languages you will have to get this program.
Dunno about the trial version, but the full version requires you to pronounce right. You can test this by letting someone call you first so you can hear how the program expects you how to pronounce it. (I have dutch names and they are completely different when pronounced by the voice command)
Hope this helps.
I've flashed my MDA Pro with the I-Mate JASJAR rom, and the standard voice dial on that works like a charm!
It even work from my Jabra BT800!
Grrrrr
I'm a native English speaker and it dont ruddy understand me!!
Sounds like many people here have gone for the JasJar rom on their devices. I guess I will give this a go - I just dont want to end up with a useless brick.

MS Voice Command - works for me on my jas jar via my moto BT headset even in the car when driving (i.e. with plenty background noise).
If you follow the tips on the MS VC website it makes it even more reliable.
The HTC voicedial program works great for me, and complies with my HS810 headset without any issues whatsoever. In fact it's even recognised my commands with music running in the background. I've tried MSVC in the past on other XDA's and found it to be rather cumbersome.

I found that Microsoft Voice command when started via bluetooth headset does not turn the link off when it's finished.
The way i got this to work with BT was to replace the file sddialer.exe in the windows folder with the voicecmd.exe file from MS VC.
Does anyone else know a better way of doing this to allow for the BT headset to be turned off automatically once listening is finished ?
Voicedial works, I just find it really slow. It is 100% reliable on the recognition front though.
What I noticed with voice command was an instant response. Press the button and speak, no wait of any kind for the 'beep'.
Voice command simply sticks an icon on the task bar, it does not have to load some monster gui before you can speak. Ditching the gui would be a step forward for the built in voicedial.

Hi
How did you get voice command to respond to the bluetooth headset in the first place?
With VC installed, the button on my BT headset is still starting the old HTC voicedial software.
Is there some registry setting somewhere to tell it what to launch?
Nigel
Yes there is a simple registry hack, it's posted else where in these forums but here it is again
Install Voice Command to the default location.
Fire up a registry editor
Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\VoiceCommand
Modify the string marked "path" from the default \Windows\SDDialer.exe to \Program Files\Voice Command\VoiceCMD.exe
This works for me and everyone else who has tried it AFAIK

I simply replace the file sddialer.exe with the voicecmd.exe and renamed the voicecmd.exe to sddialer.exe. After a softreset that's it.
Still can't fathom out a way to close the BT link though without doing it manunally from the headset.
Also does anyone have Fonix Voice Central installed on their Universal, i always get an error saying unsigned program or summit like that when i try to install the trial.
voicedial
I am italian mother tongue. Cyberon voicedial works incredibly well. I tried vito's program in the past. Average it could recognize 10%.
The cyb's software is awsome. I use it with a Jabra BT800 headset and recognize voice even in noisy environment.
Must tell that I am very satisfied with my JJ. Absolutely no problems in any way.
Installing unsigned apps on WM5
Trying to install Fonix Voice Central 3.0 Trial on my new Universal but keep getting an error stating unable to install as it is from a untrusted source or is an unsigned program.
Please help
Hi
OK, so its more reliable when using the bluetooth headset - it even understands devonian! BUT and this is a big but... why the heck does it not work when the device is closed (screen inside) and switched off??
Nuts... I get the beep from voice command after pressing button on the headset, but it ignores what I say. Performing the same thing with the screen open laptop or pda style (with device switched off) works fine, but not with the ruddy screen closed.
Anyone else experienced this?? Screen closed it how my device stays most of the time.
I see what people have been saying about it leaving the bluetooth channel open after as well - mad!

Voice command does not respond when unit closed
Hi
Voice command not responding when unit closed (screen inside), and using button on BT headset.
Has no-one else found this, and if it works for them can they post rom versions. Certainly does not work on MDA Pro shipped rom!
When unit open, or screen folded outside PDA style, VC does respond to BT headset fine. Just not when its closed.
Nigel
I have imate JJ italian rom.
Works perfectly with Jabra BT800 and device switched off (screen closed down).
No problem at all!
Thanks - looks like a bug in the ancient MDA Pro software.
I was holding off flashing it with imate roms case I heard a rumour that t-mobile are about to release a new rom soon which may be newer again I suppose.
Nigel
Well, I put the imate rom on there and that did not solve it. Voice command does not work from bluetooth headset when unit closed. It gives me the beep prompt to say its listening, but it never responds. Open screen and all is well.
Save me some money anyway, no point in buying Voice Command if it does not work properly!

Ive just been using the bog standard voice recognition. No problems at all, even works with background noise.
Im guessing that some people havent read instructions properly
The HTC software that comes with the device does work (reliably) its just too slow to be of any use.
10 secs to respond when unit is off/closed. If I dont get a prompt response i'll press the button on the headset again which seems to confuse the hell out of it.
This is my reason for trying voice command... Response time from voice command (from unit off) is 2 secs max. Unfortunately it does not ruddy well work when lid is closed (no matter whether unit is on/off).

PROFS OF THE XDA-WORLD, PLEASE HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!
i have my htc tytn since 2 weeks. i connected my Samsung WEP-150 bluetooth headset (worked previously with Samsung tels, and qtek 9100). Now the issue is: after hard reset the headset works properly: push-beep-i say the name-he says the name and calls. And this is the last time it works until the next hard reset. The issu comes up with Nokia BH-200 headset too. The unit opens the audio gateway (can hear the noice), but closes it immediately, so i cant hear the beep, and say the name into the headset. If the unit is in my pocket, i cant say the name loud enough!
What i allready tried:
-upgrade to ext 106
-upgrade to jasjam 1.20...
-and with the original (ext 105) firmware the bttoggle prog.
The bttoggle (i red about it here) is a funny prog. Everybody wants to listen music on his unit, but i just wanted to use as designed. If i run the bttoggle 2 times (first is audio gateway on, second switches back to voice speed dial), the stuff works till the next softreset (or sometimes it loses the setup in suspend mode too).
Anyway, i think this is not good so.
PLESE HELP ME!!!
thx
peterke
PS: one more question: why is a com port in the headset profile there? is it useful? the dealer told me to switch it of, and only use the handsfree port.
sorry bout ur head set
I bought the same one that was already used but i cant activate it cuz i dont have the code,are they all the same code?were can i get the code to activate it ,do you know?i would appreciate the help if you have it!I know you said it sucks but i would still like to try it!
Apologies if this is an FAQ, but I've had a quick look and drawn a blank.
I've just got my first Windows mobile phone (Vario II) and one of the things I really miss compared to my old Nokia, is that when I connect my bluetooth headset, I'd like the phone to switch to 'auto answer' and for the volume to be set to max. When I disconnect the headset, I'd like the phone to refert to a 'normal' or 'general' profile.
I require this because I use it on a motorcycle in conjunction with an intercom system, and I need the phone to auto answer after say 2 rings.
Is this possible on a smartphone?
Regards,
Glenn
Join the club mate......
I've been using the Vario2 in combination with a Nolan N-102 with the N-comm BT kit on it.....
I've been #$^&# with it for weeks now and I've made some progression...
First you need a program that allows you to select profiles like Nokia used to have...
I use PocketzenPhone but maybe there are some other(better) programs to do that.....
So then u can swith to a bike profile I've made and enable auto answer....
I've run the cab file to redirect BT sounds to my helmet in stereo (floats somewhere on this forum)
The only thing I can't do at the moment is enable Voicedial from the helmet...
If I press the button designed to start it ........f%ck all happens....
Still working on that but I'm running out of ideas....so any help would be appreciated...
Danny.

Hi, the reason you can't activate voice dialing from your headset might be to do with the BT Audio cab you have installed to redirect sound through your headset. If the cab you have installed is the most common one floating around then this actually disables the launch of voice dialing in favour of being able to toggle between sound in the headset and sound on the phone (pressing and holding down the call button for a few seconds on your headset normally).
If you look in the registry HKLM>software>OEM>voicecommand, if launchapenable has a value of 0 then it is disabled. You can enable it again by changing the value to 1 but this will mean that your headset button will now not work as an audio toggle feature because it will launch the voicedial software every time.
Not sure if this is the answer to your problem but it sounds like it might be, hope this helps
Am trying as we speak....thanks for the reply....see wat happens...
D.
Well.....Ive got good news and bad news....
The good news is that I can trigger voicecommand now......
The bad news is that MS voice command 1.6 is not reconizing my accent...(dutch)...
So out of 10 tries it never called the number i wanted.....
So I tried the build in SDdialer.....and that one is doing a better job....
However I can't make the sounds to stick in my helmet........
I mean...
With MSVC by pressing the button on the helmet I could redirect the sound to the helmet and get a voicecommand tone at the same time....
By symply not speaking or saying '"cancel" it would cancel the voicecommand but the sound stayed in the helmet.....
With SDdialer following the same steps as above the sounds does not stay in the helmet but goes back to the speaker......
Any ideas????
BTW is there a dutch version of MS voice command?
If you go back into the registry, in the same location as before, check the value that is in VoiceCmdDuration (This is the amount of time the voice prompt stays active for in seconds) .. the audio cab file usually sets this to 86400 (24 hrs in seconds), if yours is low eg. 10, 20, 30 etc.., set it to 86400 and that may sort out the problem.
Duration is set fort 24 hrs....already..
Funny thing is that MSVC is not cutting out and the sddialer is...
Regsetting stay the same.....
By pressing the button on helmet I just change the exe file.....
Only option is to try and get MsVC to work and get use to my voice....
D.
Hmmm booking slow process.....tryed to call with MsVC and now 2 out 2....
Ordered to play media from helmet......worked..
This is only sitting in the livingroom with helmet on.....looks absolutely silly but thats besides the point
P$ssing with rain here so hoping for better weather to go for a roadtest...
So thing needed for me to get it to work...
-MsVC 1.6
-Bluetooth stereo cab
-Regedit from the MsVC topic..
-PocketzenPhone for designing profiles.....however thinking on removing that...and see how that works.....
D.
I am glad that you are at least part way there to solving the problem
I don't have Voice Command on my phone. On the rare occasion I use voice dialling I use the standard SDdialer program but my sound diversion does not revert back to the handset like yours.
I must have changed something on it to get it working but I am afraid I don't know what because, when I was trying to get it working, I tried absolutely everything and it was quite a while ago now so I have forgotten what I did
It sounds like Voice Command is going to be okay for you though so that is good.
By the way, Phonealarm is also another good profile switching program.
Thanks for the replies guys, but I think I may have accidentally discovered my own solution.
On my T-mobile vario II, if I go to the Phone->Settings and select the 'more' tab (need to scroll along the last tab at the bottom of the screen) there is an option to 'Automatic pickup' which will auto answer a call after x number of rings.
I had always assumed this would kick-in even if no headset was present. However, I've just done some simple testing, and it looks like the auto answer only kicks-in if the phone is currently in comms with a headset (I used a bluetooth one but probably the same for the supplied 'hands free' kit).
So this functions exactly as I want it to.
Oh, and Pdanny, for background info I'm using a Nolan 101 (no bluetooth) with speakers and mic installed. These connect to my 'Starcom' intercom (via an old fasioned curly lead) which allows me to hear directions from my 'TomTom' and also take phone calls via the starcom/phone bluetooth partnership. Down side is that the wife can also talk at me .
As I never want to initiate a call while riding, this setup works just perfect for me. I don't need to remember to change the phone setup either before or after mounting the bike. As soon as the bike ignition is turned on, the intercom partners with the phone. Then if I receive a call, it auto answers and I can take the call. Once the ignition is switched off, the phone reverts to normal non-auto answer.
In my research for this issue I came across an app called 'phonealarm' (from pocketmax.net), it was the manual for this that made me try the above experiment. This looks like a neat app and I may still end up installing it as long as it does not hog the processor.
[edit]OOps sorry Nicky, just noticed you already mentioned phonealarm. I'd be interested in any comments you have about this app, good ot bad [/edit]
Once again, thanks for the replies, and I hope this thread helps someone in the future.
Regards,
Glenn
Phonealarm......give that a try thanks.....
Im also going to test with the buils in auto pick up.....
I knew it was there but i assumed that it would ALWAYS auto pick up...
It seems that that is not the case therefore making the Pocketzenphone and possibly phonealarm obsolete.....
I also get all the sounds over BT in my helmet....incl TT
Also... I don't have a wife .......sounds like a perfect world hey???
Keep you posted on the outcome of the xperiment....
Grtz

Hi knnelg, glad you managed to sort your problem. I always knew the option for autoanswer was in the settings but like you, I had assumed that it would autoanswer all calls regardless of whether a headset was connected so it is handy to know that it only applies when in headset mode.
You asked about opinions on Phonealarm, I think it is a great program. I have used it on my Vario II and my last phone, an XDA Mini S, and it is has always worked fine, no problems at all.
I really missed having phone profiles when I switched to PDA style phones so Phonealarm was one of the first 3rd party apps I ever bought and I wouldn't be without it now Also, Bruce, the developer of phonealarm, is very good at listening to users input and if enough people make a suggestion about an improvement or tweak to the program, he will implement it in future versions which is really nice.
One of the other programs Pocketmax does, Alarmtoday, is useful too.
Hello all
I am not sure if this is the right place for this thread but we shall see.
I have a MDA 3 (TYTN2) with TOMTOM 7.450 and Maps.
The problem I am getting is that everthing works fine except the voice.
I get incomplete commands. In a car this is not too bad however, on a motobike then my PDA is in my pocket present a more difficult problem. I use the headphone but I do not get complete command.
Can any one help, does anyone have a copy where the commnad do not brake.
Reply
Hello
Does any one have any informaiton regarding this matter. I am sure it is a pressing one.
I have no answer. I only have one voice wish I had more...maybe if we had some more we could change it and see if that works...
Try another voice
Switch to another voice profile and see if it does the same thing.
the devices are pretty similar, but I'd still try and post this in the right forum, this is the Titan area (AKA sprint Mogul, Verizon xv6800 etc...) and you have a TYTN II (AKA Kaiser)
Sorry about that
Can the admin move the topic over please.
