Voice Commands Not Working (Focus) - Focus General

So I've got a Focus running Mango, and I try to hold the Start button to open the Voice Commands, but it never works. Going into a text message and clicking the "microphone" icon doesn't open a voice input box either! Same as going to Bing and clicking the voice search button, it just doesn't work!
How the hell could that just not work? This is the official Mango update. Is anyone else experiencing this?????
And yes, I have the "Enable speeh recognition over the network" option enabled.

You need to have an active data connection for that to work.

I do have an active data connection. It's as if the Mango update forgot to install the Voice Command section of the software... it's like it doesn't exist! I'm simply wondering if anyone else is getting this problem.

Hi,
I am facing the same issue!
I have an unlocked Samsung Focus HW Rev 1.4 on OS ver 7392 (Mango update is not out for this device yet) and this feature was working for some time before it stopped. Now it just freezes briefly when I long-press the Win key and then it's back to normal. I can't access the voice feature even through the mic icon on Bing search. I have tried soft-reset, hard-reset, etc, nothing has worked so far!

Microsoft Voice Command V 1.5 On JasJar NOGO

Can anyone tell me of a way to get MS voice command v1.5 to work on the JasJar. I can install it but it does not work right. You can play the media player, however if you try to say call "whoever" the contacts comes up and its blank. If anyone has seen this issue please let me know.
Thanks,
Mike
Are your contacts on your SIM or in your devices phone book?
Works fine here by the way.
I have the same problem
Stu
They are on the phone not the sim. This is Windows Mobile 2005 not 2003

right, the contact summery comes up but it's empty - the content of the notice field you can see - and you can say "yes" and voice command is calling your contact.
MS Voice Command 1.5 is not supported for WM5

It is a bit sketchy
I can launch programs great, i can call people fine. change brightness.volume and I get announcements such as battery is running out
the only things that don't work is showing contacts and hearing the spoken callerid.
It is going to come down to waiting for an update
I thought mine was working fine too with WM5 but after several days of resets and minor other problems, I finally cleared the device and didn't reinstall VC and now it runs a lot better. so bottom line... VC 1.5 causes problems on the universal... although it seems to work ok.
Uninstall MSVC
Anybody know how I can uninstall it, and get it out of my settings control panel. I used the .cab installation.
I had to use the Erase memory icon in Programs... it clears the entire unit and sets back to factory defaults.
Please anybody try VITO Voice2Go on JasJar. It's a new voice control application for Pocket PC. Supports all languages.
I personally use this program on my i-mate Jam, and it works fine. Want to khow how does it works with Universal.

MSVC and Contacts
Has anybody overcome this problem? I just revisited this, and it does appear to work for everything, including dialing the contacts.... but.... I cannot get it to show a given contact. It will open the contacts list, even repeat back the phone numbers its dialling, but will not show the contacts individual details, at all.
Any feedback? Perhaps delete all contacts, and resynchronise them all?
Regards
Simon
It must be just the Jasjar as I had WM2005 on the XDA II and never had a problem.
I couldn't even get the US Version to work, I eventually got the UK version on and working but I have the empty screen issue in contacts.
Voice Command works fine for me. The contact is blank, but the program itself works fine
Well I guess it's better than nothing! I was always under the impression that Voice Command was actually integrated into WM5; seems not.
Hopefully 1.6 will address these issues...
Voice command work well with the 1.51
I have cyberon speed dial installed by default on XDA Exec, it works fine
Am I right in saying that "cyberon" is not the same as VC, you have to record something for every contact you want to use it with.
When you have alot of contacts, even the thought of doing this is stupid, maybe if it was just your family including Grandma that would be fine but when your running a business and your ringing different people all day.........
Maybe I am wrong, i have never used it......

so your saying there is a voice command 1.51. i can only find 1.5
link?
I feel the same way, I did a Google search and nothing, what is 1.51, are you trying to manipulate us into thinking there is a fix to our problems bought on by micro$oft.
Please let us know....... :shock:
Oddly it worked perfectly on my dodgy beta WM5 on my BlueAngel :S

Voice Command won't dial on the MDA

Whenever I use MS Voice Command, it'll recognize my dial command and take me to the contact, but then it craps out. I'm using the phrase 'call John Smith'. This is only for contact with a single location phone number.
However, whenever I try to dial a contact with multiple locations (Home, Mobile, etc.) it works after prompting for the location.
Has anyone else seen this?
I just did a hard reset and only installed MS Voice Commander. This still happens. So it's not a conflicting program.
WTF? Am I the only one here?
Alright...
First, I have 8125, not MDA.
Now that that is outta the way.
In your voice command settings (Start > Setting > Personal TAB > Voice Command)
Under the "Phone" settings, what is checked?
If "confirm when calling by name" is checked then you need to say YES when it says "call John Smith?" If you don't hear it saying that then maybe its on silent. I also had an issue with the stock 8125 ROM (because it was soooo slow) That it asked me "Call John Smith?" but took a second or two to open the contact info on screen, and it wouldn't accept the answer I gave it till the contact was open. So I had to wait a second or two after it asked before I could answer it.
Just somethings you can check out. GL getting it solved, and if it NEW then maybe exchange it, just in case you have a faulty mic (doubt it) or something.
Later; Lew
I always have a hard time getting VC to work. Just uninstall and reinstall until it works... That's about it. Sometimes it takes me 2 or 3 times.
is this good program?
I saw a blurb on voice command....is this one of those must have programs for my 8125? Will it work through the bluetooth headset? What doesn't it do that will keep me from wanting to install it?

MUST HAVE! Yes, it will work through headset. Just need to do a little tweak (at least on the TMo MDA) so that the headset button activates VoiceCommand.
The only downside is that you will look like an idiot walking around talking to yourself. "Call Bob Brown. Mobile phone. Yes, go ahead and dial the number, please." "What time is it?" etc.
Is there a trial version out?

Problem with midlet accessing GPRS

I have just started using Mobile GMaps. Every time the program needs to download a new tile, I get the following message:
" "Mobile GMaps" wishes to access the network, which might use call time. This MIDlet suite is not from a trusted source. Allow this time? "
I always press yes, but the message constantly pops up. Is there a way to turn it off permanently?
Does no one know the answer to this? I get the same problem with other midlets, although the message doesn't appear as frequently.
I have the same issue with Opera mini, and if I press No by accident I have to uninstall it and reinstall it again.
Not that in anyway helps you, but a problem shared and all that...
Haven't had this problem, but instead of re-installing opera every time, go into midlet manager and instead of clicking on the midlet, press down on the midlet and hold for 2 or 3 seconds. a menu will come up and select security. make sure all security functions having to do with net access or local access security are set to session.
might fix the gmaps thing too.

Cant Press Numbers during Phone Call

So i have WM6 on my MDA and it worlds perfectly fine, my only problem is that if im on a call and i need to press number to go through a menu, it dosnt work. The number popup as if im pressing them, but i cant go through the menus, it dosnt work on any phone calls; not even my voicemail. I just want to be able to fix it so that when i press numbers during a call it actually sends the numbers.
Simple solution: go back to a shipped version!
The WM6 ROMs are all 'selfmade', so, you might experience some minor or major bugs ...

Are you installing the T-Mobile .cabs to your phone, like the network custimzations, mms, etc. if so, that may be your issue as it was mine before, so I had started manually inserting the internet server settings, and things like that, instead of installing the .cabs, and that solved my issue...
I posted details on another thread, I will find it and post link here for you.

htc hd2, who's using voice command\recognition software?

ive tried the voice command software that came with my hd2. and works really well. i cant get it to compose a text message or email... does the preinstalled voice command allow us to compose a text message by voice? are you guys using tell me? which app is the best app for controlling media, text messages,opening programs, calling contacts, viewing appoinments etc with the hd2?
Thank You
Voice cammand is great, Tellme not so much
Voice command, as you may have already learned, works great with no training. You can voice dial, control media playback, hear your next appointment, and have callers annouced through your BT. Absolutely essential for me while driving. It will not allow you to dictate texts however. Thats really the piece that I was hoping Tellme would fill in, but it just doesn't seem to work as advertised on their website. To be fair, I've never seen it used on a device that came with it installed. It might work like a champ on those handsets, but it's never worked at all for me.
EDIT: I see you can't edit the title of your post. . .
Voicecommand not announcing bluetooth?
Crissg. In your reply you mention Microsoft Voicecommand announcing callers in bluetooth headset. Have you gotten that feature to work? I tried to get it to announce calls through bluetooth for two days with no success. Does yours work. If so how did you set it up.
Voice Command
Hi! As a "newby", I can't find any voice command on my HD2. Is it buried somewhere or was it a download. I'm in GB with Vodafone. LOVE MY HD2!!
Thanks!!!
wlm... start, settings, menu, all settings, personal, voice command.
in regards to settings as wlm wrote. is it ok for us to make a folder named control panel, and cut all our settings programs and move them to the control panel folder? anyone do this before?

Not sure. Making a folder with shortcuts to the setting might work, but personally I wouldn't think about moving that stuff from where it lives.

It is a download. Do a search and you will find plenty.
I can make the VC work on the phone just fine, but I have an ANT in the car, for BT.
When I try to talk with no car noise, or with car noise, the phone goes stupid, does nothing, well, beeps some kind of talk back, like dumb ass I did not understand you
Tried everything to get bluetooth voice announce
Crissg, I have checked the box to announce calls actually spent two days with Tmobile tech trying to get Voicecommand to announce over bluetooth but no luck. That is why I was wondering if you have this working on your phone. If so did you do any registry changes. I tried everything
Hi CRISSG,
Thanks - tried to locate it, but it's not there. Must be a download. Is the one you are using a WM app? IF so, where did you find it? There seem to be many apps - some with real problems, and I don't want to go that route!! HTC HD2, on Vodafone.. THANKS!!!!!!!
It is there in the T-Mobile US ROM, my understanding is that not all ROMs include it by default.
It came preinstalled

Looks like the files are in the Windows directory of the device. I'm not educated enough to pull it out in a usable fashion. Have you checked the ROM threads? Possibly one of the chefs has already cabbed it up?
I just realized that I'm almost always the one doing the calling from the car, and I hadn't actually recieved a call on the new HD2 (while driving) to verify the annoucement function yet. I just tested it, and it is ringing in the s9 headset, but annoucement comes over the speaker. Interesting. Commands for calls and media and calendar are working fine. As soon as I can get my wife off her phone, I'll get her to text me while I've got the headset on to test that as well.
Edit: It plays the assigned sound for recieving a text over the headset, but is not announcing the message like it did on my Tilt. Sorry if I gave the impression that it was. Like I said, I use it every day, but I make way more calls than I recieve when I'm in the car. Now I'm with you guys wondering why we've lost funtions that we had before.
Edit #2 Was just in the car, and got a text. It was announced through my Jabra earpiece. So it might have something to do with the BT profile being used, as annoucements didn't work with the s9 that I use around the house.

above mentioned path: start, settings, menu, all settings, personal, voice command.
another HD2 n00b
I have been trying for a few days no to get voice set up. I too am UK with vodafone. No voice buit in. I have bought retail MS voice command 1.6 and it fails to install. Cyberon voice speed dial installs. The next problem I have is that, I want to be able to trigger voice calls vial my bluetooth headset. (plantronics 370 explorer) Neither this or my old Jawbone bt headset will trigger voice calls.
I really want to get the MS voice command to work as it looks great and ou don't need to train it. Any help really appreciated..
For all the uk users just do a Google search for microsoft msvc 1.6.21725
I am using this on my HD2 with no problems.
Announcements of callers doesn't work though.
Thats great thanks for this. Appeared to install fine. Not sure if it insatlled right though. I can find it in setting>other>voice command. Looks only to be settings in here. I can't get it to run or prompt for voice.
try pressing and holding the green send key
Thanks for this. I have a green "Talk" button when in phone. Pressing this or long press just call the last number.
The button on my Jawbone activate the voice, which is cool, but the button on the plantronics explorer still does nothing. I guess it is something incompatible with this. Typical eh as this is my favourite headset for out walking. It is great on a windy day.
