OK -- Froyo is supposed to have Bluetooth Voice Dial -- but apparently it is disabled on the Desire Z.
I've seen some references that it might be enabled on North American phones, but on my Euro Desire Z it doesn't work. I click on my bluetooth headset button and nothing happens.
For now, I've installed Choice Dialer, and it works (you have to restart the phone after installing first)
You could try asking in the G2 forums if it works for them ?
Edit - sounds like it does work on the G2, might be worth trying what they suggest ? - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=811105

Doesn't work on my Desire Z -- I tried variations of short presses and long presses.
i have a nokia bt speakerphone which works to activate the voice dailing. it was finicky to get started but it worked.
the g2 rom handles voice dialing much better

Hi,
I am thinking of buying this software to run on my qtek 9100.
It is running a T-Mobile 1.6 rom with the blackberry connect.
Will it work OK?
Is it worth buying?
Would you recommend it?
Thanks,
Dave
i use it and love it. only wish it would work with bluetooth headsets. it's nice to hear who is calling by a nice female voice rather than ringtones. the voice recognition is great as well.
I would recommend it.
The voice dialing works much better than the standard built in voice dialing (even though it has actually sampled your voice FFS).

It works great with bluetooth headsets. There's a couple of tweaks you need to do though. You can probably find it with a search.

Unfortunatly, the reg hack tweak for BT VC only works once. It stops working after you end a call.

Huh? I've never experienced this. Every time I push the button on my headset, Voice Command activates. No matter how many calls I've had. It might be a matter of the headset as well. I could never get my Jabra BT500 to work reliably...sold it. But my Tekkeon ET3000 works flawlessly.

I never had this problem. Here is the tweak I use:
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. Reset device.
When it stops working, does that registry value still show the right value?
works fine here
VC works great with my Cardo Scala 500. Sounds better too since they gave me free silicone caps. I can hear ringtones, notifications, etc. all through the headset.

How did you enable ring tones? Mine doesn't do that by default and I haven't figured out how to enable it.
I don't think that anyone can say that Voice Command works flawlessly over bluetooth.
The fact that pressing the button on the headset opens the audio gateway and it has to be closed before it can be opened again is a bug, not a feature. The audio gateway should close itself and doesn't.
The software has been out since January '05, I believe, so some bugs with Windows Mobile 5.0 are expected.
That being said, I love Voice Command despite its issues. Once Microsoft decides to release a new version that works better over bluetooth, I'll love it even more. It's presently still worth buying, definitely.
it's a great program, but needs to be updated for WM5. It should support activation from Bluetooth headset out of the box.
Some people seem to have it working, but with my Sony Ericsson HBH-662 it only works once after each reboot.
Mine also works only once through bluetooth - i got the latest Rom/Radio Rom (the Mr Clean one) installed, perhaps that has got something to do with it?
Deep DooDoo
Hey Guys,
I installed voice command on my Tmo Wizard and the midst of uninstalling it, it gave me a message that it wasnt uninstalled correctly. It left a shortcut in the settings section. Ever since then when i try reinstalling it, it gives me a msg that another version is already installed. How do i remove the already installed one short of hard resettin my phone? Any help will be deeply appreciated. Any role for removing it via reg edit?
Thanks in advance.
:?:
It's a great piece of software. It has a few quirks which annoy me a little but hopefully they'll be sorted in the update if it ever comes.
When voice dialing a number e.g. dial 282 456... it insists on putting a zero infront of the number i.e. it will dial 0282 456.... I'm using the UK version BTW. I tried the US version up it didn't recognise my voice as well.
Also, the volume of the voice when annoucing this could be louder. there is no way to increace the volume.
It wold be nice if they expanded the command library to include more functions.
Re: Deep DooDoo
I finally fixed it a couple of soft resets later and trying to install the updated version 1.5 before installing version 1.0 and then uninstalling both and installing 1.0 and 1.5 together it finally worked!! Its a nice piece of software.
Email me if anyone wants detailed info.

I used to use MSVC 1.6 on the Tytn2 on WM6.5 (see sig) and the confirmation notifications when you called someone always used the bluetooth headset. Since running it on the Leo MSVC seems to use the loudspeaker on the handset instead of the bluetooth headset even though every setting is marked as "Announce notifications using Bluetooth hands free only"
Anyone else having this issue as I did a search and couldn't find anyone.
Edit: Just had it working once but then the other end couldn't hear me when the call connected. Then I tried again and it had reverted back to not working.
I went to Bluetooth settings, Advanced, Audio and ticked the box then rebooted the phone...
I have this same problem! Its annoying... you want to make a call and the prompts/confirmation come from the phone... Please, can someone figure this out?
Bumping thread as it should be resolvable

IT isn't... I have done more research..
The Leo (and the TouchPro2) use a Widcomm BT stack as opposed to the usual MS stack. Sadly, this means the BT won't play nice with a lot of different apps/equipment. This isn't something that can be swapped out easily as NRG has pointed out. Touch Pro 2 users are still facing the same problems even though that phone was released much earlier. Some however have reported some success when using certain custom ROMS... how its working with some ROMS and not others is still a mystery it seems
I would watch the ROM Development thread carefully to see if a ROM what works with our MSVC shows up....
Hello,
Is there a workaround... ?
Thanks in advance for any info,

I have the same problem. I'm using an old phone when I need to use hands-free. After spending a lot of money on my HD2, I'm not impressed.
I there a particular combination of headset and software that does work, especially for voice dialing?
have you tried this?
I would, but I don't know if I even have voice command on my phone.

Does not work with my helmet bike with scala-rider Q2, but does with does with Philips SH9000 stereo headset...
Mono/Stereo seems to matter.
Any workaround would be veryyyy appreciated

Workaround
Hi,
for this following workaround seems the only way to get it runnin:
My BT-Headset has the ability to be set as a Stereo-Device. When I establish a connection to this Stereo-Device, I can use it (my BT Headset) to give Commands and recieve "answers" from the VC. In case I want to start a phone-Call, my headset changes the connection automatically from "Stereo-Device" to "Handsfree-Device" and back, after finishing the Call.
This may be the Reason, why someone here already got it running with a BT-Stereo-Headset.?
Sorry for my bad english...
This is my first Android phone and I've been really happy with everything so far except for the inability to make hands-free calls over bluetooth. I guess this is an issue with all Android phones?
Is there any workaround for this? I'd pay for an app to get this functionality but the only thing I've found so far is something people have used to remap a camera button to launch the voice dialer, but I assume that wouldn't work for this phone (the Incredible doesn't have a physical camera button, does it?)
This was a huge issue for me. To the point that I was returning the phone. But the only time I use BT is when I'm in my car, which has SYNC and allows the phonebook to be downloaded to it. So now voice dialing works perfectly. I've heard the voice dialing is a long way off (the Google blog on it started 2 years ago), so I suggest buying a Ford with SYNC. LOL
Parrot bluetooth does the same thing, you just have to prerecord a few key words and the names you want to voice dial. My kenwood (made by parrot) has voice dial and works sweat

The Moto Devour (android 1.6) and Moto Milestone (with 2.1 upgrade) DO include Nuance VSuite for Bluetooth Voice Activated dialing... It works just the same as my old Moto V9M, my blackberries, my LG enV, Dare, Voyager...
I wonder if someone could rip it out of the Milestone 2.1 upgrade (like from Telus), and could get it working on the Incredible?

That would be great. Maybe now that the phone has been rooted this will be possible? Has this been done for any other android phone?
I just switched from Winmo to Android and I'm having a very aggravating issue with android. I can not find a voice command application that will not search the internet before it decides to make a call. I'm wondering if there's a voice command application that I can get that will not require the internet to work?
my second problem right now is, trying to activate this voice command by using the multifunction button on my bluetooth (Jabra bt8010). Pressing it activates my stereo music function even when i did not activate the music function mode. I'm not sure what is going on with it, but I'm wondering if there's a way around it.
I'm currently using Virtuous Rom 1.01.
I did a search and did not find any hits so if I happen to miss the thread for it, please link it and I'll head there.
Thanks.
My problem is when i press the voice dial button on my bluetooth headset (Sound ID 510) the headset prompts me to give a command but my phone does not respond to the command that way. The only way it works is when i press the app from the actual phone! And i know it works with the headset cause it works on my Curve i have!
Does anyone know of a way to make it respond when i touch the button from the headset?? I would greatly appreciate the help!
I am using Virtuous 0.9.0 Sence Rom and i have searched everywhere for an answer!
Edit: After trying for a couple days of how to fix this problem I just restarted my phone after posting this and everything picked up--go figure!!

Hey, i just took a peek at the choice dialer. It seems very promising. Ill check it out tonight. Thanks!
Sent from my Desire Z via XDA App
Update: choice dialer is freakin awesome. I am now able to use my bluetooth's mfb to make calls without have to touch the phone! That and it works even when the phone is locked.
Thanks a bunch for such a great app suggestion!!!!

For some reason, pressing the phone button on my Bluetooth headset (Scala Rider), will not launch google now, or any other app on my LG G2. It seems like the phone do not recognize the headset as handsfree kit.
Anyone has an idea how to solve this issue? I’ve checked the headset set with some other phones (GALAXY 3, Optimus G) and it worked fine.
thanks,
same problem here

Hi, I have the same issue! I've been searching for a solution for a while without success.
I have contacted the LG support and they confirm to me that there is no voice call function through bluetooth headsets.
My model is LG G2 (Stock SW Version D80210a-EUR-XX).
The following are the attempts have made:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2476080&page=5 (post 43)
NOTE: I have Google Now instead of Google search and I use Cyberon Voice Commander instead of Voice Dialer
-I've tried Bluetooth Launch
-I've tried VoiceDialerLauncher.apk (Post 10 Quote: "It is because phone launch MIC_VOICE_COMMAND intent action instead of VOICE_COMMAND. I wrote small application that intercept MIC_VOICE_COMMAND and run VOICE_COMMAND. I tried it with motorolla Voice Commands (installed on system partition) and it is works fine.")
-I've tried Tasker AUTOVOICE!
I think the solution is quite simple, for example with an xposed module, but we have to make our request to be take into account seriously.
Please keep us in touch if we found a solution!
Hi, I have the same problem. Has anyone been able to fix this?
I tried to copy all Bluetooth files from a D801 ROM with no luck... Phone is Bricked, if anyone can help im sure its easy to enable HFP in our version.
Hi Guys, got a solution for you... Sort of...
What I found you can do is remap the redial action on your headset/car to activate the voice dialer app. Just download an app called "Smart Bluetooth Headset" by Yassen Dobrev https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yado.btbut
Then set it to remap the Redial Button to open your favorite voice dialer.
This might not be what we where looking for but it will do the trick handsfree.
Best
I have the same problem; the phone button does not work in both my intercom-headset (Sena SMH5) inside my helmet and in my car stereo bluetooth hands free phone.
I tried changing this file /system/etc/bluetooth/audio.conf as in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1023193 but no luck
I heard that with CyanogenMod roms there is not this problem, but I prefer to stay with the stock rom.
Anyone has come up with a solution?
