I am searching but have not lucked up on the correct search words for an answer...
New Verizon HTC6800 updated the 3.12 and radio 3.39. I noticed voice activation was not on the phone so I searched and found a thread that said add:
Cyberon_Voice_Speed_Dial_v1.2___BT_Fix.cab
So first was that correct? OK ,I did that and got voice command back to make calls holding the device. What I cannot do which I could do with the OEM was:
Turn on my Jaw Bone BT headset (phone BT is on)
Press the button on my BT set
(OEM setup) Would open the voice command box and I speak the name "wife"
Now on the new setup ROM 3.12 when I press the button it goes to the phone screen where I can dial a number which I do not want. I am sure there is a easy fix and hate to waste a post so can someone share that with me. I want to be able to press the button on BT set and hear the beep in my ear so I can speak a command to call a number?
Thx
Sounds like you want Microsoft Voice Command?? Not the Cyberon Voice Dialer. Cyberon requires self created voice tags if I remember correctly...MSVC just requires you to push your BT headset button and speak the command.
is that my only option....anyone else...vets???
What did you end up doing about this?

I don't know if it is the new bluetooth drivers or what, but Voice Command will no longer announce name of message sender, or message title. I do hear a notification sound about recieving a new message, but with older versions of dcd; that message was actually read to me.
Any thoughts? Thanks guys.
What I do is make sure that the volume is up. I turn the ringer to vibrate, but the sounds are all on. Doing this allows for the phone to ring and with the volume being up, I can hear the announcements and etc.
Common problem with MS Voice Command. Turning the volume up with the standard version of voice command will not work. Do the following after installing Voice Command.
#1 Go to settings-Personal-Voice Commandand uncheck "enabled"
#2 Overwrite your existing files from the zip. Make sure you can see hidden/system files
\Windows
VoiceCommand_PPC.cpl
\Program Files\Voice Command\
VoiceCmdRes_PPC.dll
VoiceCommandWMP.dll
voicecmd.exe
#3 in settings-personal-voice command-phone-options check announce incoming calls
#4 reenable Voice command
#5 for the h*** of it soft reset
You now have Voice command the way it was supposed to be
thanks fraz, but have already tried replacement files. Calls, appointments, and messages are being announced fine. With earlier versions of dcd rom, when i press function button on headset i would hear a prompt, then i simply would say name from contact list, and phone number would auto dial. With dcd 2.3.1; i am not getting prompt to speak. All other functions of Voice Command are working. Could this be the different bluetooth drivers? Thanks for replying guys.
Greetings all!
I have an HTC Touchpro (Raph800) from Alltel. Yes Vzw is my current provider due to the buyout, but i still use my alltel phone. I recently upgraded it to wm6.5 using the mighty rom. Awesome rom btw! So far everything is working great, save for the bluetooth dialer in my car. it worked great under wm6.1.
I'll give you an example:
I press the button on the steering wheel to make a call.
I hear, "Make a call. Say by Name, By Number"
I say, "Name"
I hear, "Say the name of the person you wish to call."
I Say , <Insert Name Here>
I hear, "Call", <name from above> , "on which number. At Home. On Mobile"
I say "On Mobile"
I hear "Say yes to dial. Or, say back or cancel."
I say, "yes"
I hear "Dialing", <name from above> , "on mobile." Then a bunch of DTMF tones probably to simulate dialing because they always sounf the same for any nimber in my address book.
What is suppose to happen next: (What happend on wm6.1)
My dialer shows up on my screen and it dials the number in my address book and makes the call.
What is happening:
Nothing. Nothing on my phone changes and after 30 seconds of waiting the system times out and goes back to playing music through the speakers.
The only I can get this to work now is if i already have the dialer app open, wich makes the whole process pointless because my contacts are just one more tap away. If I dial from the phone the car system works has a hands free device. I can also answer calls from the steering wheel controls. When the phone is ringing the dialer app is running so I think this is why. I just cant dial from a cold start like I used to under wm 6.1.
Any ideas? Complaints? Gripes?
btw, the car is a 2011 Kia Sorento.
Thanks in advance for any information.
[Update]
Now for whatever reason, the bluetooth dialing is completly not working. Is there another dialer that would work? Or am I screwed?

Hi all !
I just joined xda..cheers to everybody here !
I bought a brand new p500 a few days ago, and coming from very simple nokia phone to android is quite a jump..however no worries or problems, just getting used at it.
However...
I fail to understand how and if voice dial works - some websites state it does, others it doesn't. As a matter of fact, no matter which language I choose, I cannot see how to use it.
My old nokia was very simple: pre-recorded name or nick was pointing to single numbers, and by pushing the BT headset button and saying the name was triggering the call.
Now, with android it seems to be at light years from here.. is anybody able to clarify how to do it ?
Thanks in advance
ps: this is a pretty basic functionality android should have for business users.
My experience with Android phones (myTouch 3G Slide, Samsung Vibrant, now LG Optimus T) is that while advanced in some areas, voice dialing is not one of them.
That said, my Optimus T voice dials OK over Bluetooth. I had to go to the settings under Voice Input and Output and download the Text-to-Speech resources. Then, it will give voice prompts. It works with my Jabra BT8040 just like on my Blackberry. I hold the button on the headset down until I get the second beep. Then wait for the prompt and say "Call So-and-so" It will then respond with "So-and-so mobile one calling."
It hasn't been as accurate as my Blackberry 9700, but it works if I speak clearly. Also, the voice prompts are too low in volume and I havent figured out how to fix that.
i only have google voice search in my optimus one. by pressing and holding searh button.
how can you voice dial?
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong, all appears correctly configured but I see no mic icon in the contacts app in any of the four tabs. Pressing the button on my BT headset does nothing except a short funny sound (with my old Nokia it meant something like "wait for connection"). Holding the same button places a call to the last incoming call number (or last outgoing one).
btw, I'm in Italy - wonder if the reason is language related. I can't be 100% sure, however, because even by setting language to English (U.S.) situation remains the same..
Hope that some android developer is reading this ..
Is there anyway to have Voice COMMAND instead of Voice Talk be activated when longpressing search or pressing my headset button? Voice Command has so many more commands than the other one, and I find it simpler. I tried clearing defaults and reassigning, but the only two options that show up then when trying to reassign are Voice Search and Voice Talk. =[
Thanks!
Bump? Anyone?
Why do you think there is any difference in the available commands? I don't think there is.
Because there is. See for yourself.
Try setting, say, an alarm in Voice Talk - won't work. Go through the help pages, there's far less commands listed in Talk than in Command.

That's right. In Voice Command I counted 14 commands and in Voice talk I counted eight. For example, just try going to Voice Talk and say "email" someone or "open" some application. It won't work. Try the same commands in Voice Command and it works!
Ok. I'll be damned. Now I want to open voice command too
Here's what's funny. You can open voice command from voice talk by pushing the menu button in voice talk, but you can't use your voice to open it.
Sheesh.
Samsung epic 4g touch 2 it's possible
goto the android market and download, " bt app launcher". it is a bluetooth launcher for when your headset connect to your cell phone. the app is free. once installed it allows you to select the app that you want to start when the bluetooth device connects to your cell phone. you will see 2 voice commands 1 will be green and 1 will be blue with a line through it. select the blue 1 with the line running through it horizontally. now whenever your bluetooth headset connect your cellphone voice command will start not voice talk. unfortunately whenever press the button on your bluetooth headset or press to lunch button from your phone... voice talk will still launch . I happen to have a motorola bluetooth headset that allows the flip of the microphone which then turns on the bluetooth device connects to the cellphone, so this works for me.

I agree 100 percent. I posted here ,ATT fourm and android Central and go no reply. I asked my friend at aTT to check it out with Samsung. Knownone at aTT had a idea. I don't know why they just did not use Voice Command. You say comands on you bluetooth and you get Voice talk. (say Galaxy) voice tlak only works with bluetooth by default no matter what your setting are.( Blueant Q2 here.) Voice command does email and more but you have to lauch it yourself.
My other phone you just pushed the extra button on the side and say what you wanted. Both of these programs are Vlingo rograms too.
I will download the BT appy though
download bt
I don't think its going to work.
This is exactly why i shouldn't read the forums, now I want Voice Command to be my default DOH!
I was wondering if this was possible as well. Maybe someone could find where the double home tap action is mapped to.
voice command
there is a nice little widget that has voice command, voice talk and driving mode
buttons that's included with the galaxy S2.
I have a A2dp Motorolla BT, It will start voice "command" when blue tooth head set connects to cell . But not when pressing the button on the blue tooth head set or the phone . and it will automatically listens. it does not have the standby activation code hi galaxy like voice " Talk"
Thanks for the idea, I added it to my ROM.
I had the same problem and made a workaround with Tasker.
If you have Tasker installed:
1. Make a new profile called "Long Search" and select
Event>Hardware>Button:Long Search
as the context.
2. For the task, make a new task and select the action category "App" and select "Load App" and then "Voice Command".
3. Then when you long press the search button (assuming you cleared your default or never picked one), a tasker helper will show up as an option along with "Voice Talk" and google's voice search. Select it as your default.
Now when you long press the seach button "Voice Command" will launch.
Hope this helps.
This works exactly as advertised. Thanks for posting this, and now I've got to figure out Tasker!

Prior to the latest update to Google Search 3.5.16.1262550 a couple weeks ago, I used to be able to do a long press on my BT headset to bring up Google Now, which let me say, "Call Joe Blow home" and it would make the call to his home number. Now it brings up Google Dial which tells me to say "Call someone" but pops up with a numbered list of the cell, home, and work numbers on the screen that I either have to touch to choose the one I want, or say, "Select Two" to dial his home number. This requires that I either touch or look at the screen to make a call, which totally defeats the purpose of "hands-free" calling.
I have switched back to S-Voice for now, which I hate because she talks too much before I can actually make a call, but at least I don't have to dig my phone out to push or see which phone I want to call. I hope someone can help us get back to BT dialing the way it used to be.
This is on a Sprint Galaxy Note 3 running KitKat, but I imagine this is affecting all phones.
Yes I have a note 3 kitkat and Google search issue is affecting my phone as well. Instead of Google now voice prompt when pressing headset hard button on my LG bluetooth headset....Goople dial is not default which sucks!
Bump! Surely someone must use Bluetooth dialing from a headset and noticed this major change besides the two of us. Please help if you have any ideas to revert Google Search to work the way it used to.
Bump again! Doesn't anyone else use their Bluetooth headset to initiate calls?
I think I have finally found an acceptable workaround using Bluetooth Launch from the Play Store. Install the app and follow the directions as described in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2794883
Step one shouldn't be needed as when you long press, it will detect the new app and let you select Bluetooth Launch as the default.
