Anybody have any hints for using voice recognition with a headset? It knows I'm trying to talk to it, but it doesn't seem to know what I'm saying so it keeps telling me to try again instead of dialing.
I've been experimenting and if I use the Voice Search application on the phone everything appears to work except that somehow sound coming and going is completely cut off.
Voice Dialer doesn't work with the headset or without.
I can use Voice Search to place the call and then turn on my headset and switch over, but I get an error on the screen that the communication app has failed. The error being on screen doesn't interfere with the call though.
Odd effect is that the volume control buttons got stuck on bluetooth in-call volume. I had to restart the phone to clear it.
I assume you are referring to voice dialing from a bluetooth headset. As far as I can tell from reading the forums it never worked but has been fixed in the new 351 update (Android 2.2.2). It didnt work for me on the 318 build but now does on the 351 build. I dont believe voice search works from a bluetooth headset though as far as I know.

i use cyberon voice speed dial, it works but u have to shout loud the names
tried with different bt headsets

I upgraded from the O2 XDA mini to the Orange M3100 and use the same Sony headset and can't get the voice tags to repeat in the headset after they have been recognised. It worked fine with the O2 phone, you pressed the headset power switch briefly, said the name and the phone played the match back to the headset. This new phone simply shows the name on the screen and repeats through the phone speaker. Tried to pair it again but still the same, anyone had this and found a fix?
As an update I was using the voice dial function the other day sat in the car and could hear the recorded name in the headset but it's reall quiet. The previous HTC phone was a lot louder so is there anyway to increase the volume of the spoken voice tag in the headset, I have the headset volume up full but still it's too low to hear properly.
I've seen some other posts on getting stereo headsets working with this Orange device. Can anyone help me find a way of getting the phone to increase the volume of the repeated voice tag in my bluetooth headset please?
Well there are only 263 posts re. Bluetooth and headset problems in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285419
If you can't find any answers there, there are about another 10 threads about headset and bluetooth problems, about 15 threads on Voice Command problems and you combine the two and you have a nightmare
... almost makes you want to use a wired headset and hand dial.
Trust me, I thought this would be easy.........
The previous HTC device I had (Wizard with O2) worked fine, press headset button, speak, phone confirms back and then dials. This one has such a low volume that you can't hear what it says. I read through a load of the posts but they all seem to be trying to solve problems I don't have, for me the headset and phone works, the TomTom GPS v6 also works, the TCP video software is almost there and all of this without having to hack any programes.
I tried it again today and before when I thought it was very quiet it was in fact the speaker on the phone I was hearing on the seat next to me, the headset does not reply the voice tag.
Surely others must be using BT headsets with this phone and use the voice dial tags when driving etc?

I don't have these issues so don't know the exact thread but I have read that many ppl are having the same problems as you. I think they have solved all but incomming notifications - so go looking and you should find.
I use an, admitedly ancient, Icon BT Headset for calls while driving, and all works well with one annoying problem.
With all other phones that I have used this with, the Headset synchronises completely with the phone. By this I mean that once connected, the phone's speaker is disabled and all keypad sounds, tones and other noises come through the Headset. To answer a call I could press "answer" on the phone OR press the button on the Headset, and the same to hang-up. Lovely Jubbly.
However, with the Blackstone, I have to Slide to Answer the Phone and then press the button on the Headset to activate that. Pressing the Button on the Headset alone does not answer the phone but instead tries to activate the Voice Dialling function, whether or not there is an incoming call.
The only noises that come through the headset, except while "in a call" are the ring tones.
Now, I ask, is this a problem with the Headset or, is that just the way things are with the Blackstone and BT Headsets?
If it's just that mine is old and knackered then I will get a new one, but i do not want to shell out for something that is not going to fix the problem.
OK. How about I rephrase the question.
Most of you out there use BT Headsets of some description. Which ones work like a common or garden phone?
Any? None?
Just want some advice before shelling out on trying to fix a problem that may or not be fixable.
Before you go spending money, try this software. It is fully featured and free for 15 days. It is an alternate bluetooth stack for Windows Mobile. See if it fixes your situation.
thanks for the advice.
been away, so only just got the message.
have installed. will report back with how it goes.
Is it possible to voice dial from our bluetooth headsets? I have a blueant z9i and i haven't figured out a way to easily do this... is it part of android even? Maybe this could be a reason to upgrade my earpiece.
I seriously cant be the only one here who has attempted to voicedial from a headset??? Its not working for me on my blueant z9i, but what is everyone elses experience attempting this?
I have not been able to voice dial from either one of my headsets. Both moto, neither handsfree or stereo headphones w/ mic.

Well, since nobody is answering your post, best I can do is tell you what mine does, different hardware though.
When I press on the earpiece button, my phone beeps once, and the voice command is activated. You say, example, "Call HOME", and the phone beeps twice, a menu comes up on the screen where you have to touch-select what you just said out of a selection of 3 to 5 items . Then it dials the number.
The feature is useless - since if I have to dig the phone out of my pocket to touch the screen after saying the command, I may as well as just dialed it with my finger to begin with... so you're not missing much.
Plus - if you drive a standard - letting go of the wheel, or giving up shifting to futz with your phone - is simply not an option in regular city stop n go traffic. Handsfree, with finger confirmation, lol. Got to wonder sometimes.

I have a problem that when I searched for solution, I found that many other people have this problem !
I often use my bluetooth handsfree device , I press the botton to activate Voice Dialer or Cyberon Voice Speed Dial, all sounds like ring, music, notifications, etc... are gone !!! all volumes are on high and active and profile in NOT silent... but there is NO SOUND at all !
the only way is to reboot my phone ! I installed many different ROMs and the problem still exists but one Sense ROM named imilka's Desire HD v2.0
any solutions ?!
i never got problem with this on my s4g. bump.
I have the same issue
Did you ever find a fix? I get the same from choice dialer and google voice dialer. Vlingo does not have this issue, but it does not work through your bluetooth when you press the bluetooth button.
I'm not sure what's causing this. It seems to have started when I first rooted the phone. Voice recognition isn't working. When I try to use google search the circle around the microphone icon will move, but the icon doesn't turn red as it does when it recognizes voice. If I cup my hands around the microphone on the phone and pretty much yell, sometimes I can get it to work. Other times I can't. Tried another test, downloaded a voice recording app and when I recorded, I could hear my voice but it was INCREDIBLY quiet. I couldn't make out what I was saying at full volume. I have had no complaints about my voice when on phone calls. Does anyone have any idea what this is, or what a fix would be? I'm rooted currently, have tried multiple different roms with the same outcome. Am I just missing a setting somewhere?
