Hi
I have an XDA2i and a leadtek BT GPS working together well, But Have only just got the XDA2i and want to use it for navigation and as a phone!
incoming call seem to work ok TTN5 mutes I talk on my Plantonics BT headset end call unmutes...
Making a call seem difficult while driving as there is no voice dialling running and searching contacts is difficult to see and operate!
How do others do this? Is there a dial that will display the contact list on double clicking the headset that uses a big font?
has anyone tried a headset with call display an directory browsing such as BT800#? if so do they work with the XDA2I
Any advice or help appreciated as at the moment I can't see me getting rid of my other phone!
i use Phoneplus. works great on my i-mate... http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=13354
Thanks, I will give it a go.
I also use phoneplus3 but you can also create POI with phone numbers for all the important numbers like home, work and friends then you can call them directly from within TTN5 via the 'call number' button in main menu 3 of 3.

Thanks, I have already added numbers to TTN5. I found and like pecaller, unfurtunatly it has a number of bugs like not remebering the groups etc.
So I'm using phonepluse but if they get the bugs fixed I would switch to pecaller and its free!
Thanks

Adrian,
You may try VITO Voice2Go for voice dialing or VITO QuickContact for finding contacts and calling with joystick (one-hand operation program, no stylus).

Thanks I will take a look.
Ok... I admit, I love VC! I have 1.6 installed on my 8525 with the blue tooth "hack" working and also mapped to my PTT "click & hold". It works great. Reminds me of my old MPX220, only much much better. However, as with anything, there is room for improvement.
1) PTT button as an actual Voice Command button, where Click launches and Click & Hold cancels.
2) Voice Command reads Notifications, battery level, signal strength. Why not read entire Emails? or IE, Word, & Notes? Like MS Narrator, only on my PPC and initiated by VC. It seems like the underpinnings of turning VC into a screen reader is there. What will it take to implement this? (especially email... I want to say "What are my new email messages?")
3) Anybody else have ideas or gripes?

I had read that it could do this for emails but not for SMS messages.. It doesnt actually do it for either though which did annoy me.
It also will announce the incoming caller's name over and over again if you have a second call arrive when you are already on a call.. this is very very very annoying and needs sorting.
I wish it wouldn't turn off the Microphone AGC on a soft reset. They recommend enabling it, yet when it loads it disables it...nutty
AGC On
Zedcorrado actually the instruction tells you to set AGC off not on, so it is OK for it be off. Following is part of the installation instructions.
1 - Adjust the Microphone
To get better speech recognition (If this control panel is not present, skip this step):
1. Tap Start > Settings > System. Then tap Microphone (or Microphone AGC or iPAQ Audio).
2. Set the automatic gain control (AGC) to OFF or disabled (if available).
3. Set microphone gain (if available):
Does VC 1.6 and the 8525 patch send audio to the headset when the information for an incoming phone call is announced?
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.

- there is no such option at all in the
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.

What Voice Command Software came with the HD2? Which version of the phone are you referring to?
