Hi
I installed " Cyberon Voice Commander " from the Market on my Galaxy S2.
The first time I used my Bluetooth headset to voice dial, the phone asked me to choose which default program I would like to use for Bluetooth voice dialing, the Cyberon voice commander or the Vlingo voice commands, I chose the Cyberon and from then on every time I pressed the Bluetooth headset it would initiate a call using the Cyberon voice commander.
Recently something changed, every time I am pressing the Bluetooth headset it starts the Vlingo voice commands, no matter what I do I can't go back to use the Cyberon voice commander as my default program, I can only use Cyberon if I open the program through my phone.
I tried using voice input and output settings and looking also through the setting of Cyberon and Vlingo, nothing works.
Could someone tell me what am I doing wrong? How do I change the default back to Cyberon.
Many Thanks.
Same problem
I have the same problem, but Galaxy s2 never asked me what application to set as preferred.. simply I can't set Cyberon to start when pressing BT button.
It always start slingo. Maybe because my GS2 was already updated.
Cyberon wrote me it's a samsung not standard managing of BT events.
From what you wrote it seems that at the beginning the implementetion was standard, than an update broke it up.
Have you updated ROM or are samsung apps updates?
It would be nice to repack the old apps to turn back the possibility to choose BT event.
For now I use Tasker to kill Samsung Voice command process and start cyberon. It works fairy well.. but not always perfectly.
Very annoying!!
Any one??
Hi same problem here. I would like to chose the application to start with the bt headset button, but the phone forces to use the vlingo app.
My father has this app on his SGS2 and actually emailed developers about this problem.
The extremely polite and professional support (seriously, I have never read such a concrete and polite reply from a software company, ever!) said, that this is a firmware limitation and they cannot fix it.
I think this started happening after he updated firmware from Polish KF1 to newer one.
They said, that unless Samsung changes this behaviour, they cannot do anything about it, at least they are not aware of the solution for now.
Yes Cyberon folks are very kindly and polite!!
I have found a fix!!
* Root your device
* Set google as default voice recognition instead of vlingo in settings>voice recognition (not sure this is important to do)
* Install Titanium backup (i Have paid full version, but probably you can use free
* Disable "comandi vocali" (Italy) which in english should be like "voice commands"
* Than I have cancelled the BR pairing, restarted the phone and paired BT again...
* Set Cyberon to use long press bt button to start
IT WORKS!!
Hi all.
Yesterday I've updated firmware through KIES to last one for my region. And now I'm facing same problem
Before updating it was possible to select which app will be default for voice dial. Now, even after factory reset, phone doesn't ask me which app to use. And I unable to find "Voice Talk" in the list of All applications to change its defaults.
I don't want to root device and don't want to install firmware through ODIN. Don't ask why Just want my device to be clear.
Any help with this problem will be highly appreciated.
Thank you
Any news about this issue?
Hi all.
Today I've updated firmware through KIES to last one (KG2) for my region (Romania). Now I'm facing same problem as all the others.
Before updating it was possible to select which app will be default for voice dial (Cyberon Voice Speed Dial). Now it is launching the Vlingo by default.
I changed to Google Voice but in vain... It's still launching this useless Vlingo.
Does anybody has found a solution without rooting the phone?

I applied solution described in post #5. It works fine.
....but you must be rooted
I have a slightly different problem...
I have no issue using Vlingo (if it worked)
Firstly, it's not responding to pressing the button on my bluetooth anymore.
Secondly, when it did, the device had to be unlocked for it to work.
Damn you Vlingo.
The only legal solution is unfortunately this, as far as I know:
1 Backup the phone
2 Take it to authorized repair service
3 They will "degrade" firmware to the last version which was problem free
4 Restore from backup and hope it will work. More chance to succesfully restore is if you made a backup on previous firmware
5 Reinstall all the apps.
Well done Samsung
Bytheway can anyone tell me what was their last firmware that did not have this issue?
Awful solution.
Anyone with the latest 2.3.4 firmware here? Can you confirm this bug?

I agree but does anyone knows any better without rooting? Everyone must decide the importance of being able to use bluetooth calling from the car. I personaly need it so much I am willing to degrade firmware. I waited with buying gs2 until voice speed dial came up.
Anybody out there good enough to know how to disable or erase voice talk app, integrated in GS2?
Your first question should be how to use the search function in this forum.
Update solved the problem
Hi
Yesterday my Galaxy SII got an update, Android OS got updated from 2.3.4 to version 2.3.6 and Baseband version is now SC02COMKL4.
Now I am able to activate the voice dialing by a long push on the Bluetooth connect button.
Where's voice input key
Overall wonderful rom!! .. but I couldn't find Mic key for activating voice input in my keyboard, evev if in Settings->Keyboard&Languages->"Voice input key" I set both "on main keyboard" or On symbols keyboard".
Anyone can give me a suggestion?
Tnx.

ANOTHER PROBLEM RELATED WITH THE SAME TOPIC
I can start Cyberon Voice Commander (CVC) with BT headset button.
But there is only one problem that I can not solve anymore:
Everytime Note2 is turned off completely or restarted, I have to reassign the BT headset button to Cyberon Voice Comander.
Is there any genious gentleman to help me ?
Thanks.

Hello all. Before tweaking to DCD 3.1.2, Voice command would announce incoming messages and callers. Now, with dcd, the actual ringtone is played over bluetooth headset and no announcments are made. any thoughts on how to eliminate ringtone being played over bluetooth and have announcments made again? Thanks folks. You guys rock!
mine acts different...i get ringtone in my headset and it announces who calls over ringtone in my headset, also my phone vibrates but doesnt ring.
i wish there was an easy way to configure the settings cuz i would like for my phone to vibrate and ring out loud (im not always wearing my bt headset 24/7 when bt is enabled) and i want my headset to announce so and so is caling or the number if its not in my phonebook.
i also notice when in a call it announces who is calling in for call waiting which is cool
Ring and voice command
Not only those problems but, I have no options for voice commands. I can't set them up use them or even find a icon for them. I am also missing a lot of just standard options. There are no personal settings there is no where to Finnish the GPS setup. I am getting a little tired of running a rom that has absolutely nothing in it. I understand that you should be able to do more with a dcd rom but I don't understand how you are supposed to utilize these options when they have been forcefully removed from the OS. If anyone knows where I can pick up the stock voice command prog, the stock MSN messenger, and how to replace the missing personal settings tab and the slide sound tab. That would be helpful.

First of all, dcd's roms are meant to be cooked clean. That's why UC compatibility was added. Lots of people got excited when it was first added, but I've seen very very few people actually utilize it the way it's supposed to. Before I go on I have to ask...are you cooking your own rom using the kitchen, or are you using the precooked rom that is posted? If you're using the latter, then NOTHING besides the essential functions will be installed. It's a clean precooked rom and nothing else.
That being said, if you're cooking your own rom with the kitchen, there's a few things you should know...
Voice Command does not come stock with the phone. It's a third party application from Microsoft that costs roughly $40. There isn't an option for it in BuildOS, so unless you have it and you're installing it via a cab (the way I recommend), or through an OEM, then you will not see any options for it, as it is not installed. If you're referring to Voice Speed Dialer, that's a whole different program. There are no options for it. You have to manually record yourself speaking the commands.
Sliding Sound has to be added using BuildOS. If you're not checking it off prior to cooking the rom, then it will not be included in your rom.
I don't use MSN messenger, but I'm going to guess that Windows Live is what you're looking for? If so, Windows Live also has to be added using BuildOS.
I'm not sure what you mean when you say "Finish the GPS settings". Could you clarify?
As far as your personal settings tab goes, that is a valid problem and we would have to speak further in detail for me to diagnose it.
MS Voice Command: Definitive Guide Thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=391262
P.S. had the same problem, got the 1.6.19209 version listed in that thread, now voice command talks right over the ring tone and I get the best of both worlds.
i dont use voice command really, but i noticed after the update that my phone no longer physically shows the contact or number of whos calling when my phone rings.
It just says
Verizon Wireless
Incomming Call
Then the rest of the box is blank.
Anyone know how to fix this? I didn't run the verizon cab, but with 3.1.2 i didn't think i needed to? Especially since it still says verizon wireless when people call, and i can call out/send sms

Please read more. All 3.1.x roms REQUIRE the carrier cab to be installed. It says it in clear text right on the first page of the kitchen thread.

Can someone with DCD Rom 3.1.x and also MS Voice Command confirm if a bug is present? I have 3.0.4 and my wife has 3.0.1 and we both have the same issue with MS VC. Basically, if you use VC to set the ringer volume, you can not re-adjust it using the phone. So, turn off ringer using VC then try to turn it back on using the stylus. Verify that the volume is turned back on.
I simply can not turn the volume back on with the stylus. I can turn it back using VC no problem. Thanks.
I personally do not use Microsoft Voice Command anymore.
The reason is that it uses a lot of resources on my phone.
I did several customizations on my phone and have several apps installed and I roughly get 24 to 25 mb at startup. With voice command I get around 19 to 20.
I just rather use Voice Speed Dial that is in DCD's Kitchens. Yes you would have to program your voice to recognize the commands, but it does what I need it to do and it saves a lot of memory.

I have been using VC with all of DCD's ROMS and have not had a problem. I bought the package a while back but found an OEM that I use now. I works great when it does figure out what I am saying. LOL
I don't have any issues with setting the ringer by VC and then by stylus. I also don't have any issues using it through my BT headset. Make sure you have the right settings in the settings control panel with the icond Voice Command. Check out the options and notifications for each of the checked items. There was also a set of files to fix something a while back I have posted them here but you should do the search to find out what they fixed.
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 ..
Just wondering if anyone has any experience with using microsoft sync with the fascinate. Im having trouble getting the bluetooth calling functions working. When I first got the vechile I was running froyo and could make and recieve calls no sweat but since upgrading to gingerbread when I try and make a call using the voice commands the call ends 1 second after the call is placed. Also when a a call is coming in the answer button does not work, if i grab the phone and slide over the answer button the call will then work through the bluetooth. I have updated the sync to the latest version off the microsoft website. Also the exact phone im using is a rooted Telus sgh-t959d. Any help would be really great, thanks!
Have you tried settings-> applications-> manage applications, highlight "all" in the top of the screen, navigate to nuisance voice command (or whatever the official apps name is) and hit clear data...you may have to re setup a few things but its worth a shot.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
hmm the only thing in there with voice attached to the name is the voice dialer and voice recorder. I cleared that, give it a try I guess
Well I managed to get it to work. It seems that juice defender was messing with it. When my phone was not active it was turning off the radios so I think that was the problem. Thanks much for the help!
I have been having trouble with my Note i717 voice dialing over Bluetooth. I pair it to my Pioneer DEH-P710BT care stereo, transfers phonebook and works when dialing with phone manually or by selecting name on deck.
My problem is with the voice dialing from the deck. I say the name but it keeps selecting a wrong name/number for each name I say. It will have the same wrong name for one name that I say, no matter how many times or clear I say it. It will give a different wrong name for another name that I say. I have tried saying last name before first name as well and it still doesn't select the right name. It feels like its just translating it wrong into text since it keeps selecting the same wrong name for each specific contact???
I had the same problem with my Nexus S. The exact same setup works fine with my Galaxy S2 i9100, HTC Nexus one and LG GW620. They all call the correct name.
-I have no lockscreen lock or password
-I have tried google voice search and Vlingo as default voice input
-Listen via Bluetooth is selected in Vlingo (tried without selected as well)
-Phone & Media profile are selected in the bluetooth settings for the deck
I am hoping there is a fix and its not some compatibility issue with certain samsung phones and my Pioneer deck. So far only 1/3 of my samsung phones work.
Anyone else have this problem? Ideas? thanks
How did you change between voice search and Vlingo as the default voice input? I have similar problems with voice dialing on a number of android phones and I'd like to try some other programs to see if it's a software fixable issue, but I can't get the phone do launch anything but Vlingo.

I have the Rogers Canadian SGH-I717R.
Changing that setting on the AT&T version does nothing, unfortunately....vlingo always picks it up. Oh well, was worth a shot since I've had better luck with cyberon voice commander.
Same issue here. At first I thought it was my car 2012 Hyundai Sonata. Deleted contact list out of the car a couple of times and tried pairing multiple times. The GNote pairs fine but gets the wrong name frequently.
Mine gets the wrong contact all of the time.
Doesn't anyone else have this problem?
Sure...had that since my first Android handset. So I started using Cyberon, which works better and has a confirmation mode (since I got tired of Android ringing up some bagel shop in Hoboken every time I tried to call my mom - I live in California BTW), but the Note doesn't offer the ability to have the bluetooth multi-function button start any app other than Vlingo, which doesn't meet my needs because it doesn't work through the phone lock screen when my phone is suspended.
If I'm going to have to pull the phone out of my pocket, unlock it, and then voice dial, what's the point.
WM6.5 had this functionality working beautifully in about 2007.

Odd... are you saying you can't voice dial thru your car's BT without physically unlocking the phone?
I can voice dial just fine (locked & unlocked) on mine through the Ford Sync in my car.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA App
Are you screen locked or password locked? I haven't tried it in my car yet (don't really need to as my car can read the phone book and I can dial by touch), but Vlingo will not respond to my bluetooth headset at all when the phone is PIN/password locked.
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.
