[Q] Problem with bluetooth headset on i9100 - Omni Q&A

Hi,
Does anyone experience problems with voice dialing with bluetooth headset? I've got Plantronics ML20 and while it pairs correctly with my SGS2 (with latest nightly), it works only partially. I can receive incoming calls and it works without problems, but whenever I try to initiate voice function (like voice search in GNow, for example, or voice commands) application just hangs - GNow just states "Initializing" and nothing happens.
I've checked logcat and every time I try to use headset I get lots of errors:
Code:
/TinyALSA-Audio Input(1867): pcm read failed!
Have anyone else had such problems? Because apart from that (and camcoder, but that's a given) ROM works perfectly for me and I'd like to use it as daily driver.

I'm not sure if BT voice search ever worked on this device on any firmware...

It worked very well on Samsung's stock 4.1.2 JB and was very useful while driving. I switched Samsung's default voice commander to GNow voice search using Bluetooth Launch and it just worked.

There a way to get Voice Command to close Bluetooth Conn.

Ah, Lost my Motorola HS-850 which worked fine with Voice Command, been going through a number of different units, the Jabra J10, Motorola H700 both great headsets except for the fact that they seem to mess up and stop working after a first phone call that started with Microsofts Voice Command. I think the problem is due to the fact that Voice Command doesn't close the bluetooth connection properly since the built in Voice Dialer seems to work.
Does anyone know if there is a versions of Voice Command (official or hacked) or any other way to get Voice Command to "behave more freiendly" with some of the Bluetooth headsets?
i got a jabra 250v and it works flawless heres what i do.. hit my button once and wait for the tone.. do w/e command i wanna do and let it go through then once the command is over with i hit the button again to close the connection so if u are doing a call this is the step i use.. push button once.. wait for tone.. say call erich. hit the button to finish call. wait 1sec then hit the button again to close the bluetooth connection ...works flawless for me
Jacob-mda: That what I used to do with my old Moto HS-850 and it worked perfectly.
Unfotunately this isn't the case with all bluetooth headsets, especially newer ones, I've gone through about 4 or 5. Voice Command doesn't break the connection since it doesn't support bluetooth directly and most of the newer headsets hang after the first call and the only way to get them back is to restart the device or run another program like cyberon speed dialer that resets the connection. Not sure why if it's a version difference in bluetooth implentation, or just some headsets are more forgiving.
Unless there is a way to get it working which I'm not aware of, we need some little utility that would do whatever cyberon speed dialer does to reset the connect and then launch Voice Command, this would make it work with a lot more (if not all) bluetooth headsets which would be great!
It's a shame, I'm caught up between deciding what I want more, a better headset and using cyberon speed dialer (with voice tags yuk) or going with a working headset with Voice Command.
Anyways, it would be great if someone could right something that would reset the connect and then launch voice command. It might not be perfect but I'm sure it would make a lot of people (including myself) with non compatible headsets very happy

Microsoft Voice Command 1.6?

Do any of you have MSFT VC 1.6 installed on the Advantage? I know there were many issues with this software app and the TYTN (such as notifications through speaker and being forced to apply a major registry settings tweak). Can someone confirm that using MSFT VC 1.6 works perfectly with the Advantage or if there are similar problems like with the TYTN?
Thanks

I copy that! Work like a charm on my Ameo.
Yup, it all works perfectly on my Ameo, even issuing commands thru bluetooth is working fine, which was a pig to sort out on the Universal.
Can you please tell me how you got your msft 1.6 voice command working? My audio still routes through to the speaker, not the BT headset. Do you have to do anything to get it working?
I went through all the other forums about this, nothing works.
~Sigh~
I installed it - and it all worked, no tweaking required.
Have you set the "Notifications" settings to direct the audio to Bluetooth only?
What about Voice Command 1.5?
Has anyone got 1.5 to work?
When I try, I just get "Voice Command has encountered a problem. Restart Voice command and try again"
I've tried installing it both to Main Memory, and Microdrive. I've tried resetting it both before and after installing.
No joy.
Anyone else have more luck?

I have had same issue with v1.5 going to try v1.6 hope it works ok
Doesn't really work on my Advantage. Works just like it did on the Tytn.
Activating MSVC thru headset works. All audio comes thru speaker phone. Notifications do not go thru headset only thru speakerphone
And yes, I have notifications set to onlu bluetooth..Oh Well

strange mine one works.....didn't change anything
Mine works flawlessly through bt when initiated from the device. However, I am unable to initiate with my Jabra BT8010
I found out that if I uncheck the Password Protected box in MSVC settings' dialogue that it works fine.
activate Voice Command via BT Headset?
Can you activate the BT via the BT headset? I remember trying one long itme ago on a Blue Angel and I had to configure a button on the device to activate it. Does it work there?
Thank you.

Have you changed the mode to phone on you BT8010s? Otherwise it just keeps playing/pausing your music.
Works perfectly on the three x7500's I purchased. ;-)
I've been using the Mocrosoft voice commnd v.1.6 for a few weeks now. I have the US version, which unfortunately have a different dialing rule from ours in Australia. So, you can't use the dial funtion - only the call funtion would work in Australia. For those not familiar, "dial command" is supposed to let you dial a number. whereas "call command" lets you call a contact by name or nick name in your address book. The numbers, to be acceptable and recognised by the dial command must be one of the following formats:
nnn-nnnn
nnn-nnn-nnnn
1-nnn-nnn-nnnn
n-1-1
international dialing with a + or 0 prefix.
I was puzzled as to why I was unable to use the dial command, and to me a while to realise the limitation.
I heard from other forum participant that he has used the UK version, which allow him to dial the australisan numbers.
If you use this product, could you kindly look into the help file under tips for making calls and list all the number formats acceptable to the UK versions please?
Thanks
Have now purchased VC 1.6 German - disappointed....
In my car I have an FWD audio com car kit - no audio comes from the car kit. Everything is going throug Ameo speaker and mic. Therefore impossible to use in car while driving.
Settings: password unchecked, BT only.
What can I do ?

Is your BlueTooth turned on? Is your car kit paired using the Hands-free profile?
TO CHECK:
In Comm Manager, go to Setting menu and select BlueTooth.
In "Mode" tab, made sure BT is on!
In "Devices" tab,
* If it shows in the list tap on it and see whether Hands Free is enabled.
* If it does not show, tap "Add New Device..." and follow the steps.

Voice Dialing Application for HD2 - Available?

Correct me if I am wrong, but there is no built in voice dialing capability tools included with the HD2?
I would like to be able to (like I have with the last 2 HTC Smartphones) be able to voice dial a contact over a bluetooth headset or car unit....
Any recommendations, or is this feature hidden somewhere that I simply have to activate? If there is an app I can get, preferrably free, please advise. Thanks!
Microsoft Voice Command is probably the best out there... its almost uncanny how you can just talk to your phone and ask it stuff with no training.... Call blah blah blah.... what are my apointments? .... open file explorer.... etc etc etc....
I use it with a bluetooth headset all the time to make and receive calls all the time.... calls received will have the caller's name read to me via BT headset
Thanks, so nothing is included with the HD2 then correct? Is there a free version we can get for our HD2 here or elsewhere of Voice Command?

And that's on an HD2?
MSVC is pretty much the best out there...the other alternative is the Cyberon Speed Dial, but you do have to record for each contact.

Which MSVC version are you using?
I've been having strange problems with my Blueant Supertooth light and MSVC 1.6.
The problems are:
- My Blueant doesn't terminate the connection after calls, the lights and speaker just stays on eventhough the call has been terminated.
- No incoming call announcement from the blueant device.
- Sometimes when I press the call button on my BT device, voice commander responds on the phone's speaker??
Weird... I didn't have the above problems with my TD, although I never could get the incoming call announcement to work as well.
on the same lines, is there any application to type what you speak? This way we could use speech to text instead of using the keyboard!
It is a huge letdown that the HD2 does not already INCLUDE a voice dialing application like the past several HTC phones have had, for years.
HTC needs to step up the plate and both provide this and make sure that bluetooth voice dialing protocols are in place.
Has anyone used the Cyberon app yet? I believe the one is called "Voice Dialer" and the other is called "Voice Commander", not sure what the actual difference is or if either work fully on the HD2.
Hi. I'm using Cyberon Voice Sped Dialer on my HD2 and have set up my voice dals.
However, when I go to use the voice dial I only every get the 'tone' through the phone speaker and no longer through my BT headset. I have a Jawbone 2 BT headset.
My Touch HD worked fine with it and you could dial using voice through the headset but I no longer can on the HD2.
Is there a way to fix this? Do I need different software or is it just one of those things?
Thanks.
Owen.
Hi,
Im having the same problems with my HD2 device. I have a parrot bluetooth carkit and with this new device it doens't work like it should because there is no voice dialing.
I've tried several programs like Microsoft Voice command and other voice command programs like VITO voice command and Cyberon.
Is there any program that just looks like the voice dialing on the HTC Diamond? I just want to record my own voice and use it with my bluetooth carkit.
Thanks,

The problems with bluetooth is down to the HD2 using a widcomm bluetooth stack as apposed to a microsoft one. I personally havent found a voice dialing app that will work with the widcomm stack.
So what do we do now? I really love this phone but this is a huge problem for me...
Good question.... experiment!? E-mail voice recognition manufactures?
I have cyberon voice speed dial 1.2
I cant get it to work through my BT but I have sort cut on home that I press and it opens all my progs and dial contacts, one of the best things about my phone now I love that it opens all my programs...
I used to have a n95 and this put an auto voice tag on each contact and worked through any BT, shame the HD2 hasnt got an app that can do that ... and open my progs..
I'm also still waiting for a solution.
I have 2 bt handsfree devices on my 2 cars (Parrot and Blueant)...and MSVC only works for the first try after a soft reset.
After the first go, MSVC just goes thru the phone's mic and speaker. Very annoying when you still need to hold the phone up while driving AND you have a bluetooth handsfree device.

Is it possible for someone to cook a ROM with the MSFT bluetooth stack? Or is that too hardware/driver dependent?
You guys should check out the threat with the name: Voice Dial Removed! WTF?
Since I cannot post links yet I can't post the exact link but I'm sure you guys are able to use the search function on this website
Someone claims to have found a working solution for the problem, it's on the second page of the thread.. I'm going to test it right now
Edit: IT WORKS!! At first holding the call button didn't work for me, so I followed the instructions on the first page and now it works!!

Voice Dial Removed! WTF?
About to try it, hope it works with BT voice dial, if not then Duttys WM6.5 works as well as it can and includes the long press fix as standard.
Owen.
To install .CAB according to order of their numbering.
Do not forget to put a tick in Audio-adjustments sets (' To reproduce system sounds on removed set ').
I did not check it by myself yet.
I tried to make ONE .CAB but did not find apropriate software.
Let's try this way.

I have succeeded to activate the CVSD with BT Headset button press with the "4_CVSD_1.2_build_61226_1_BTHeadsetFixed.cab" given in the mail above.
But I can not hear the Voice Tag of the contact from the BT Headset but from the speaker of the HD2 as a confirmation to my speed dial speech.
And I have to check the screen when dialing started if I am motocycling
Any proposal to fix that little problem?

Isn't there an option in the BT setup, sending all systemsounds to BT?

Anybody got MS VoiceCommand / BlueAudio to work?

I used to have VoiceCommand and BlueAudio perfectly working on my X1. Now this crappy X2 that messes up so much, canNOT run any Audio to the Bluetooth Headset.
It should have the MS Bluetooth Stack so these programs should work. Perhaps it is some registry change that makes them work?
Anybody got them to work and know how to? Thanks!
It seems that the Bluetooth AudioGateway dll files is not working properly. Tried different dll's from different versions but still did not find the "correct" working one. Anybody???
Couldn't get MS Voice Command working.
Vito Voice Dialer works great though.
Haven't managed to make my X2 work with my existing bluetooth headset.
X2 says it's paierd with the device, but then you can't answer calls or anything else.
If it wasn't for the $$$ I spent to buy this piece of crap, I'd have a new phone already!
Okay, is this vito voice dialer dialing VIA bluetooth or not? And HOW do you press a key on the phone to activate it? What key? And just read their manual, they don't even mention any bluetooth capability there. Can you use bluetooth and how?
Because voice command works (more or less) HOWEVER NOT via bluetooth and since there is NO hard/software button to assign to it, it cannot be activated via the phone either!
I have to press the bluetooth button and then the sound (mic and voice) come out of the phone speaker.
I strongly think this has to do with the bluetooth gateway SE is using with the X2. But I was hoping somebody technical could have found a solution by now. For me voice dialing is essential and my X1 was perfect.
With blue audio I could listen to musik on a mono bluetooth!
Just to mention it, I use SE hbh-PV740 and it always works if making 'regular' calls via the phone over bluetooth. But I cannot initiate it nor voice dial.
I can't get my X2 to do anything with my bluetooth kit, so all your questions re: bluetooth I can't answer.
I start vito from a button on the screen and it works.
For me and my phone, the vito product is much more accurate and reliable than voice command.

[Q] Bluetooth Voice Dialling

I have had a read of everything I can find in relation to this, but have come away more confused than ever.
I have to P6800 3G model, and a Blueant Q2. No dramas with pairing, connecting, receiving calls etc etc, but when I try to activate voice commands..."this feature is not supported on your phone".
From everything I have read this is not a new problem with Samsung devices.
This is my first experience with Honeycomb.
Have tried installing Vlingo and setting it to 'in car', but that didn't work.
My next step might be something like Cyberon Voice Commander, but I am loathe to try that before I can be sure I am not missing something obvious and simple.
Maybe the only "simple" thing here is me

Where are you trying to use voice commands? I do know that voice commands from the Google Search bar at the top of your homescreen works just fine for me, even for voice dialing.
However, it should be noted that voice commands are not being picked up via your bluetooth mic, rather they will be picked up by the mic on the 7.7 itself.
Thanks,
Correct the voice commands for voice dialing are not being sent via BT. All other pre determineed voice commands, like "call back", "answer", "ignore" all work fine.
When I request the BT headset to set up the voice dialing it just comes back as "device not compatible".
All other voice commands via the 7.7 mic work fine, just can't get those voice commands working via BT.
It seems to be a common problem, and was hoping that someone had a work around.
Seems to me to be a really silly omission not to be able to use the device in a totally "hands free" manner.
