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.

No set up needed other than ticking the option in the settings menu.

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.

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.

What Voice Command Software came with the HD2? Which version of the phone are you referring to?
just though of something, can we use google voice on the tab by forwarding all the calls from our cell phone and be able to receive/make calls that way? what do you guys think?.
And how do you plan on doing this without actually having ever phone functionality? It obviously will work, getting google voice working on the tab. The real problem is getting the phone functionality, well......functional!

hmm i guess you are right and if we have the phone functionality working then there would be no need for google voice....

You can't receive standard voice calls, but you can set Google Voice to call you on a VoIP line. E.g. I have a Gizmo5 account and use that with CSipSimple to redirect phone calls to.
I found the voice quality over Wifi with headphones to be excellent ;-)

Hi,
I'm very satisfied with my nexus 4 exept one thing: When I use the integrated VOIP / SIP function, I have a very poor audio quality with echos on both sites. However Skye is working fine (on speaker).
Does anybody know about this problem and how to fix it? With my other phone (Defy with CyanogenMod 10, thx quarx) it is working perfectly fine.
thx
inso
Google hasn't bothered to develop the native SIP client so it's very crude and realistically unusable. It is integrated though, which makes it so appealing.
What you need is a SIP client that supports a packet loss / jitter tolerant codec like speex, ilbc, silk, or even g729.
Skype at least in the past used silk.
You may want to look into sipdroid or csipsimple. I'd love to use csipsimple, but last I used it, there was a nasty loop glitch when using it with google voice
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svCqNEf8k9Q
Thanks for the fast reply. I'll give csipsimple a try.
inso
do make sure to disable all codecs but that aren't packet loss / jitter friendly.
no g711 etc.
yes to speex, ilbc, g729, and to a lesser extent, gsm.
Unfortunately the echos still occured, even with csipsimple. I now fixed it by installing CM 10.1. Just in case anybody else has got this problem.
Again, thanks for your help
I haven't had many problems with it. I had one person say it echoed on their end but no one else. I haven't heard any echoes.
My problem is with trying to use Google voice. If I set the app to use voice for all calls it doesn't give me an option to call with internet. If I don't use Google voice it gives me the option to internet call. I would Prefer to be able to keep my Google voice settings the same but I had to set it to " ask every call". This way I can say " without Google voice" then get the option to use Internet calling.
But I don't want to just select " don't use Google voice for any calls". That would give me the option to use Internet calling every time but wouldnt use the correct number when I don't use Internet calling.

In that case, set Android to always use internet calling, and set GV to prompt. Then if you hit yes, it'll use GV and dial out. If you hit no, it'll use internet calling.
But, I don't know how satisfied you'll be with the native client... Poor codec choice.

Is there a way to automatically record phone calls (without any UI or the user knowing) and sync with box, dropbox or like a ftp server?
Has anybody seen such a beast? lol
Thanks in advance...
the goldeneye rom has an addon that records phone calls. google voice will also record if u hit the number 4 while in a call but it announces the recording to the other party.

So you want to give this phone to someone and let them make phone calls and not know that they are being recorded? Are you trying to catch your wife cheating on you? You can get call recorder for galaxy s4 phones by killer mobile in play store. You can change settings so that no notifications are shown. I am personally using call recorder pro on my phone for auto recording calls for safety reasons but, my fiance's GS4 with stock rooted MF3 would not work with that one or any of 4 others we tried. We finally tried the one I mentioned and it works after granting it root privileges. It has a month free trial.

You might want to try '

' app. It records your call automatically after you answer, or when you make a phone call.

If you configure to always use Google voice when making calls you will get an error that says call not made. If you configure Google Voice to ask you every time you make a call you will get the same error. This error also shows up in the Mate 8. Here is another thread that discusses it.

Kind of disappointing. If you want to use Google voicemail need to use Hangouts.

Had same issue on my Nexus6 P after flashing Nougut! Flashed a custom N ROM and it worked! Some have said it's a Hangouts/N issue...
Found another issue but this is with using hangouts to make call. If you have a bluetooth device that can be used for phone calls hangouts will try to first use that device to make the call before defaulting to the ear piece. Also if you go into speaker mode you can't go back to just headset as it will yet again try to connect to that Bluetooth device and fail causing it to go back to speaker mode.
I have a Asus ZenWatch 3 and hangouts keeps trying to use this device for phone calls. Also it will try to connect if I place the call in speaker mode through hangouts and keep failing and reverting back to speaker mode.
This pretty much makes the phone useless to me. So the phone will be going back to best buy. Once Huawei fixing the stock dialer to use voice then I will come back to it

i just tested bluetooth and hangouts with my Plantronic headset and i was able to (1) initiate a call via bluetooth, (2) switch to handset, then (3) switch to speakerphone and then (4) go back to bluetooth without any problem. does your Asus ZenWatch 3 allow you to initiate/answer/conduct calls via the watch, and that's where the connection issues occurred? thanks for clarifying.
new version of Google Voice @ apkmirror site; i installed it and - so far - i can make calls via the dialer using the "Ask each time you make a call" option. using the "Use your Google Voice Number" (for all calls) option is still failing. interested to know if others using the newest GV version are having a similar experiences to me. will update if i begin having issues again.
Anyone try this new Google Voice App on the mate 9? Does it change calling with the stock dialer at all? Heres the link to download.

doi! lol sorry my bad lol. Thats great news! still pretty frustrating though. For us to rely on GV and have it not work like its supposed to is kind of worrying. Makes me concerned and update might break it.
I've been using it only for the last two days. Where it is very buggy for me is with Android Auto; I have to ask it to call on average of 3 times from the car. If I tap the button on the phone it calls, but that defeats the whole purpose of Android Auto. I'm still trying to get the phone to divert ALL of my messages, etc over to Voice. The stock messaging app duplicates the text messages. People I've communicated with on Hangouts still come through on Hangouts if they have more than one account... A bunch of reduncy that I didn't have prior to using it. I may delete it and wait for the prime time app. I'm still trying to learn the phone; I don't want to add unnecessary quirks to it and blame the phone.
I have Chinese AL00 version and using "OK Google" works with default phone. e.g. "Ok Google, call Joe". It also will start from the locked screen but you have to unlock for the phone call to be placed.
