Hello, this thread is a continuation of the thread I posted here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1461169.
I now know that my headset is not AVRCP equipped so it will not do all the functions I would like. However i notice when i hold the Call button on my headset for an extended period of time what I believe is the voice command pops up (a little microphone next to the Bluetooth image along the top. Is it possible to reprogram the phone to accept the hold function as a pause/resume for media playback?
Thank you, reminder this is a BT headset not the wired version

Hi. I have a Spring ppc-6700 running wm5 with the latest rom.
My problem is that I cannot use the BT headset to talk on Skype or to listen to music from the computer. I do not know how to switch to the headset. It's paired and i see the headset icon on the screen. Before the latest rom i used to press the action button on the headset and it would switch to it. Now when i press the button i get this annoying voice dialing feature.
OT: When i use skype it only works in speakerphone mode. Any way i can get skype to work through the earpiece so emulate talking on the phone?
Thanks.
This is normal behavior.
Skype does not support the phone functions on Pocket PC and so your (mono) Bluetooth headset does not get its sound. The same happens for ANY application that is not part of the "phone" functionality of the Pocket PC. The mono Bluetooth headsets ONLY work with applications that recognize the "HSP or HFP Bluetooth profiles".
>Any way i can get skype to work through the earpiece
There are two ways to do that:
1. Email Skype and tell them to get their sh*t together and provide a phone-friendly version of Skype that supports HSP/HFP.
2. Buy a *stereo* Bluetooth headset. This will work both for music and general pocketPC sound (in A2DP/AVRCP mode) and in HFP/HSP mode (for phone calls). With a stereo Bluetooth headset you can hear the Skype sound on your headphones, but you will still need to talk using the PocketPC's microphone (until Skype supports the HSP/HFP profile that is). For normal phone calls, you will be able to use the headphones and microphones of the BT headset directly.
It all boils down to applications support the HSP/HFP BT profile.
i've used the bluetooth headset with skype before but after this update with the stupid voice dialer app, i just can't get it to work at all. I want to get rid of voice dialer app. and have sound being routed to the headset as before.
I tried BTAudioToggle.exe with no success. Absolutely nothing happens.
FIXED.
I went to
HK_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\VOICECOMMAND\Path
And cleared the path. This way when i press the bluetooth button on the headset it just activates the headset profile but doesn't launch the stupid voice dialer which shuts off the headset profile.
Another question
Which is the best way to use the voice recognition software with a hands free bluetooth with only press a button ???
Changed the thread title
I am using a Plantronics 510 BT headset, but i can't figure out how to get the voice activation working.
I beginning to think that it is not supported, read the manual and afaik it doesn't mention the subject at all.
Has anyone got it working yet?

I am not sure I understand your question but I use a SonyEricsson stereo BT headset and when I press the "answer" button on the headset (when phone is not ringing) the "Voice Speed Dial" program comes up.
It does the same with all my jabra
Yes the voice dial function to dial numbers and startup programs is what I meant.
I got it working now
Apparently I have to hold down the button for a second or two to make it work.
Next time I should try a little harder to figure it

Hi,
I've got a SE BT HBH-660 and when I push the asnwer button, I4ve got the "beep beep" in the speaker telling me that the Headset try to connect to the phone, but for some reason the Phone does not wake-up each time.
To make the voice dial working I need to ON/OFF the BT stack on the phone side.
When my SE BT headset is on and I make a phone call, not all the time the phone connect to the headset.
Did someone figure out the same behaviour ?
If yes how does it solve this ?
I have had a Jabra BT Headset for a couple of years and it works well. I have recently purchased a XCarLink with BT and am now using this in my car instead of the headset. One thing that I liked about the headset was how it worked with M$ Voice Command - i.e. press the 'Talk' button and Voice Command would start and you could say 'call xxx' etc. With the XCarLink if I press the 'Talk' button this justs stops any music that was playing but doesn't start Voice Command.
Is there any tweak I can apply to get this behaviour?
Andy
More testing......
I have been doing some more testing with this as the Jabra BT headset stopped activating Voice Command...
Anyway I have tested a couple of different versions of Voice Command (1.6.19214 & the one from the Diamond 1.6.19581) and both behave the same. If A2DP Joint Stereo is enabled (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2DP\Settings - UseJointStereo=1) then the 'Talk' button on the BT headset no longer activates Voice Command. If Joint Stereo is disabled the 'Talk' button activates Voice Command (after a soft-reset).
I haven't had time to check the behaviour with the XCarLink but I will post the results when I do.
If anyone has any experience with this or knows a fix then I'd appreciate it.
Andy
Anyone been able to get voice dialling working from the Xcarlink? I just bought one and am having the same problems.
I've read around and discovered that the HTC wired headset button only does pick up, and hang up. By pressing it twice it redials. I understood that a long press of this button can't be assigned.
I would like to change the double press option on the wired headset to activate Microsoft Voice Command. Is there a registry hack for this?
*Bump*
Or do I have to switch to a bluetooth headset.

Unless something has changed...I think the only way to activate MSVC remotely is to use a bluetooth headset. It is a pain if you use nice sounding wired headphones and still need to drag out your phone to make a call. I can't believe WM hasn't fixed this issue. I had a voice dial button on my Sony Ericsson P800 headset from ...uh...6 years ago??? I hope someone proves me wrong because I listen to music all the time with a wired headset through an iPhone headset/mic adapter.

Thanks. I am now able to start MVC by double pressing the button on the wired headset.
I did so, by replacing:
\Windows\redial.exe
with a copy of \Program Files\MS Voice Command\voicecmd.exe
Now I can control my MP3's and dial whomever I want without reaching for my phone.
This didn't work with bluetooth redial.
Any ideas how to change the bluetooth redial command to something else ?
Nice one... was away to post the same question.
Glad I searched first
Thanks!
