Hello,
I have had problems with the bluetooth voice command volume with my samsung galaxy. I have taken and had it replaced but i still have low volume when initializing the voice command. The Tech paired it up and has the same unit which worked fine. Once the phone is connected normal volume is realized.
Has anyone found a solution either with a code adjustment or an application?
I have seen many application but was looking for one that has been tried and provides a solution. I have a blueAnt light, I love it but if anyone has a better direction that will match up to the samsung I would like to hear from you.
thanks in advance

Has anyone used the Scala 500 bluetooth headset with the Wizard? If anyone has do let me know how it works. Thanks.
no loud enough imo
Have used it and no problems with volume. Have had to lower volume. Problem had with BLUE CAST 'tho (using B/T headsets). To listen to music with Blue-Cast, you must enact the program, and use the left-soft-key to toggle between ON and OFF. Once B/C is enacted, the B/C window obviates 'start' and 'today' screens. To exit the B/C window, you must close it. When the window is closed, the 'today' and 'start-menu'-potential are there, but the left-soft-key only enacts my 'calender' menu, so turning B/C on and off becomes a problem. Also, with my other phones, if I turn on the B/T headset, the phone almost instantly recognises the headset, but with the 8125, I have to run the identification elements on the phone to get it running. If an understanding mind reads this and finds I'm doing something wrong, please RSVP.
PS
With the BLUE-CAST program, my Cardo-Scala-500 and Motorola-HS820 receives all sound produced in the phone, including the programmed ringtone. Without the B/C program, I get a piddling little 'beep' in incoming calls, which wouldn't help in some of the noisy environments I work in.
Works great.

Thanks all of you. Just ordered my Scala 500! Let us see how it works. I hope there is no 'static' issue with Scala working with the Wizard. What is Blu-Cast? Now I am a little confused. :?:
Thanks all. Just got the Scala 500. Works brilliantly! Including all Bluetooth function such as voice dial etc.
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.
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
Hi,
I'm on Galaxy S2; Android 2.3.3; KE7.
When using headphones on my device the volume is great for music, videos, youtube, and even skype. However for some reason it's only around half of that level when calling (even tough the volume is set to maximum).
I've done some google research and found out that it's quite a common issue with this phone. A workaround has been found by using some codes. However, it is not a permanent solution.
I've found a post which says that someone had called Samsung and they acknowledged the issue and will send them a new phone where this issue has been fixed.
1) Has anyone found a permanent solution to increasing the volume of the call when on headset?
2) I've also found a post where someone says that apparently Samsung will fix this issue in Android 2.3.4. Can you confirm this? When will this be available? If it's longer than 1-2 weeks I will have to send my phone for a refund/exchange (although I love it).
Your advice on the above is much appreciated.
Hi, I've done some further research and I think I've found the solution:
First make sure that your sound is on (as you can't access the volume settings in the silent mode) -> press the Menu button -> Settings -> Sound -> Volume -> and then increase the 'Incoming call' volume.
I've just tested the call volume when on headset and it has been increased to a more that enough level. Great. My love to this phone is growing
Now I have to figure out how to disable the camera shutter sound....but that's a question for another post...
It seems that the solution above worked for some time but now my phone started to deliver very low call volume when on headphones. Maybe it's due to the Android update, I don't know.
However I found that the issue is related to the media volume. For example when I listen to music and turn the volume low then this affects the incoming call volume and it becomes low as well.
The solution to this problem seems to be: make sure that the music volume is max before you want to make a call. I've just tested it an is seems to do the trick.
It would be great to hear to another solutions to this problem for unrooted phones.
Heard this app works well,

I got a pair of LG HBS-730 to input voice commands to my SG-N7100, but it doesn't seem to work. I'm on a stock CM10.1 and grab the input from Autovoice (a nifty Tasker plugin).
Depending on whether I activate Phone, Media or both in the Bluetooth settings of the headset, the input is either solely grabbed from the phone's microphone or is ignored.
I tried BTMono, BT Launch and a few other apps that claim to help with this, but it seems to be Android related. http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=38566
I also tried disabling/renaming VoiceDialer.apk, but it only helps with the headset button presses not with the microphone issue.
Any tips are most welcome. I'll try anything at this point (including dabbling with Java and Android Intents).
Thanks in advance!
I have a similar issue. I can't get my phone to wake at all on a bluetooth press. If I am logged in and i press the bluetooth button it will then bring up my default options for voice control and any one I choose it will respond to voice. I tried BT Launch and it works well to wake up the phone but then I run into the same problem as you, which is the voice app will not respond to the voice prompts. Have you had any luck? It should not be this difficult to use a droid via bluetooth hands free.
