Hi Guys,
I have a couple of problems with the HD2 that i cant seem to find the answer too using the thread search.
Firstly the phone lock. When i get into my car the bluetooth pairs with the phone ready for use. If i try to make a out going call using the buttons in the steering wheel the call fails because the phone is in a locked state. To make a call i have to slide the lock off and enter my pin. Surely the phone should allow the call without the need to fiddle around with the phone while driving? Anyone know a fix?
The second issue is also due to the phone lock. Some times after missing a call the lock come off and the screen is active. In this state ive made calls in my pocket and dont even know it. Again any ideas to solve the issue?
Many Thanks
Hi everyone, I know a lots of you thinks that isnt good use of a thing like this for phone, but I have a problem to see message and make it, so I chose this device.
Before that I use a HTC Diamond always whit pen and whit that little caracter... I can tell my eyes now are good a and thank me!
My problem is whit Make phone call... I explain that.
When I use the headphone (and I have buy one pair of "puro" too a different from original) I hold the button in the headset and the music start... Ok thats fine I think that this is the general idea. But I want to make a long Hold for start the call and noting happend.
I use "Cyberon Voice Commander" and whit a bluethoot work, not a spectacul one but work (by the way I use a "Samsung WEP450", i was thinking that samsung give a big compatibility or whatever but its not).
How I can disable music funtion of the headphone?
I have also Poweramp in my Galaxy Tab and that software have the setting for change this thing, but I NEED someting that works fine for calls!
Someone can help me?
Nobody know a function for turn off that?
Or maybe a headset that have a specific button for reponse a call?
Hi guys,
I have been trying to find answers for this problem ever since i bought my Galaxy S2..but no luck so far.
The problem is trying to voice dial someone while the phone is paired with a bluetooth headset and on standby/screen locked mode. In other words i want to be able to voice dial someone when my galaxy is in the pocket instead of having to unlock the screen and go for voice dial and then say command which negates the whole point of having voice dial.
So far when i press the bluetooth's button, the phone goes - "what would you like to do" and then i try saying ''call (person)" but the phone seems to be doing nothing after that..but when the screen is unlocked and i do the same thing, it actually does dial(no point because if i am able to take the phone out and unlock it, i might as well dial it instead of voice). What really hits me is that the bluetooth actually does trigger the voice talk application and the phone requests me to say what i want to do but after that nothing happens.
Can you guys tell me whats going on? This problem is really making me hate this phone because the phone boasts so many ads about voice dialling but it cannot do a simple voice dial which is possible on ancient phones. Cheers
I've been playing with this for the past couple of days and here's what I've learned. It's complicated because there are multiple settings that effect each other. The phone has to be on to use Voice Talk. It can be locked, but has to be on and active. In other words, Voice Talk won't wake the phone up if it was shut off with the on/off button. Also, the app has to be in the foreground for it to listen. If you go to the home screen or launch another app its no longer active and listening.
Also, similar to the OP, my headset reacts strangely when I use its command button. When I push the button and say "phone command," it says "activating your phones inbuilt calling features," and then says "this feature is not supported on the connected phone." But, after that, Voice Talk is still listening but acts wonky. Instead, I set Voice Talk to Listen Over Bluetooth and I don't have to push anything - I just say Hi Galaxy. OP, I bet your headset's experiencing something similar. Try turning on Listen Over Bluetooth and Wake Up Command and then just say Hi Galaxy to start Voice Talk. I bet it works. Don't forget you can also set Motion to on and then just tap the phone twice (even if its locked) to activate Voice Talk. I'm guessing that uses less battery on both the phone and headset then leaving the Wake Up Command on.
Here's my take on each of the settings:
Listen Over Bluetooth
Has to be on for Voice Talk to work via a headset. If not, you can hear the prompts through the headset but Voice Talk is listening through the phone's built in mic.
Auto-Start Listening
I haven't figured this one out. Either off or on the phone seems to behave the same way. The best I can figure is that Voice Talk starts listening immediately the first time its opened instead of having to tap the button to make it start listening.
Wake Up Command
If Listen Over Bluetooth is active, the Wake Up Command has to be on for Voice Talk to hear Hi Galaxy.
Driving Mode
Is really mislabeled. All it does is announce new e-mail (but not read them) and read text messages.
So that's my take. I'd be interested in everyone else's experiences and if they've learned anything different or better.

Thanks for this detailed reply. I think at some point I have tried these settings but not sure if they were in the exact matching order. I will give it another go with everything set up to the way you have mentioned and see what I get. I am sure I am very close to actually getting it to work though..fingers crossed ..and yes if anyone else have different combinations of settings or ways they got it to actually work from a locked screen, please share it here. Thanks.
BarryH, I did try those exact settings like you had mentioned but still no luck. On triggering the voice talk with bluetooth headset's button, i can hear voice talk say "what would you like to do?" and does not respond to anything i say. (while screen is off).
I am thinking of installing Vlingo and trying to get that to work this way? Not sure if it would make a difference though.

If you do what I suggested you don't have to push the command button. The phone will be listening for the "hi galaxy" command all the time.

I noticed the same thing, when paired with my car, the phone does not respond to pressing the button on my parrot if the phone is locked
I disabled the factory lockscreen and now use widget locker instead, problem has gone away

I was thinking of trying this next as I have run out of options..so you say it worked? Then I will get widget locker and see how I go. So let me get this straight - i get widget locker and use the lock screen that comes with that or using widget locker i disable the stock lock? Or I should disable the stock lock from settings and then use widget locker? Cheers
yea disable stock lock in settings and then use widget locker only for lockscreen

Tried this last night and unfortunately its still doing the same thing. On holding the bluetooth headset's button while the phone's screen is off I can hear the phone go "what would you like to do" and right after this i say commands like "call (someone)" but nothing happens. When the phone's screen is on, it actually works when i do the same thing which just surprises me to as why. Also when the screen is off and voice talk not on the front screen the wake up command doesnt work. So again a person has to leave his screen on (without letting the phone go to standby) and leave the voice talk app running for voice dial to work.
And to make things worse the double tapping with motion turned on settings doesnt bring up voice talk when the screen is off..again putting me in the same situation. The only way voice talk work on this phone is when the screen is on so far which isnt really practical in situations you would want to use voice commands..i hope samsung or google brings a better solution to this issue because this phone's got so much boasting about being able to voice command but isnt able to perform what an iphone or old nokia do
If you've got Tasker, you might be able to set something up... I noticed the same problem last night, and yeah, it's totally counter-intuitive...
I'll let y'all know how I go...
BTW - also noticed that while it may listen through my car bluetooth, it certainly doesn't play through it, and it's next to impossible to hear the mousey voice in a moving vehicle muffled in the depths of my pocket anyway...
Stupid half-baked software!

I cant agree more about it being counter-intuitive..and yes its not nice the voice prompts coming through the phone but i remember once somehow the voice prompts did come through the bluetooth headset i dont know how. Like you said something is not letting it operate properly, like blocking it. I havent used this Tasker but have used task manager like apps in the past. So you believe you could try to figure out a fix for this..i appreciate your efforts because I am just lost at the moment. Let me know how you go mate. And I will let you know if I get around this issue too. Thanks mate

Ok i found a way to get this voice dialling to work when the screen is off but not using a bluetooth headset, instead the wired headset for the time being.
So I can trigger voice dial when the phone is in the pocket and voice prompt comes to the headset, i say command and it works . I dont mind it working for the wired headset as that is good enough for the time being while driving. If you need to know how i got this done just give me a buzz. There are two pieces of software that I got to set this up. Cheers.
I just deleted built in vlingo crap and took generic Google voice dialer apk from my nexus s. Plus side you don't have to be connected to net to dial contacts and I can hear reply in headset as well.

Hi all,
I know this has been asked many times and there are a few tricks and apps you install to avoid this issue.
The problem, I'm having is that when the phone is screen locked. ie with a PIN. I cannot activate S Voice to perform a voice dial.
Is there any way around this?
I'm going to send an email to Samsung to ask them why this is the case.
This kind of defeats the purpose of S Voice, since who has their phones unlocked now days?
Thanks.
Any ideas?

wouldnt that allow anyone to simply use your phone for any function s voice can perform? dont see why you need a lock screen if ur ok with that. try making the lock screen kick in after a longer period of time, 30min or so should do it
I agree with fade, being able to use S Voice when the screen is locked defeats the purpose of a lock screen.
I just would like to use voice dialing. i dont need to control my phone with s voice or anything like that.
im thinking maybe i should get a voice dialing app.
Any ideas?
Me too. I want the phone locked in case I lose it but I want to have it in my pocket and use a headset paired to the phone. If i lost the phone or whatever then nobody could use s voice anyway since its activated by a button on the headset not a voice command

I'm still looking for an answer to this. I don't know why everyone thinks this would be a security issue if you only allowed a "paired" device to unlock the phone. An attacker would have to steal the the paired bluetooth device as well.

This is the same thing I was thinking so.. does anybody have a "fix" for this? I'm very curious about it
Any news since March?
Inviato dal mio Galaxy S4 super pompato
No info here.
Hey guys,
sorry for starting a new thread, but I have searched the internet for days now and don't seem to be closer to a solution.
My problem is this: I am trying to use the (wired) headset that was included with my Galaxy S5 (GM-S900I) with any voice assistant (S-Voice, Google Now, whatever I can get to work).
While my phone is active / unlocked I can long-press the button on the headset to open S-Voice, however I do need to then press the "microphone" button or use the voice command (Hello Galaxy) to activate S-Voice (which should IMO be unneccessary, why else would I long-press the headset button?).
Once my phone is locked / in standby (with fingerprint lock), the screen lights up as soon as I long-press the button on my headset, yet nothing happens and no matter what I do, I can't get the device to listen to me / do anything.
I recently rooted my phone in order to try and fix this issue with eXpose modules etc., yet that also didn't help.
I also tried several apps including headset button controller and switch for S voice, but they dind't seem to help either.
Thank you so much for your help and suggestions, so far this forum has been more than awesome!
