Bluetooth Voice Dialing on SG2? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

Hi all,
i picked up a skyrocket about 2 weeks ago (coming from iphone 3gs) and was really disappointed to find out that the skyrocket does not support bluetooth initiated voice dialing.
what i mean is that i have a plantronics voyager pro (awesome headset) where i long press the button on the headset and it then beeps to prompt me to say "call so-and-so" this way while driving i don't have to look down at the phone at all.
this does not work with the skyrocket. i chatted with samsung tech support and they confirmed this is not a feature they included on a 250 dollar flagship phone and have no plans in the future to include it.
does the sgs2 allow for headset initiated voice dialing? specifically with the voyager pro or more generally any headset that you have tried? thanks!

I have a Galaxy S2 and I use a Motorola Finity bluetooth headset and voice dial works fine.

You might get more play on this in the Skyrocket forums rather than the i777 forums. The i777 has a samsung version of vlingo installed from the factory that works quite well for headset button initiated voice dialling (talks back to over the headset). I'm surprised that skyrocket doesn't have this, but there are a couple other options.
First is Google voice actions - should be available in the market I believe
second (probably better) is vlingo in the market - free app does what you want...

Sorry about the confusion guys- to clarify I meant that I currently have the skyrocket and am thinking about switching to the sgs2 if the battery life is better and it supports bluetooth headset initiated voice dialing.
Thanks for the replies so far! Anyone else used any other BT headset other than the moto others have already mentioned?

I currently use a Sony HBH-DS980 and don't have any issues with Bluetooth Voice Dialing.

I use the Jabra Cruzer2 handsfree speaker phone and it works well - I did jettison the Vlingo app as I found it annoying to use and always kept my screen on (older market version, may have fixed in recent updates). I use ChoiceDialer as all I need it is for voice calling - I have no need for the other features that vlingo brings to the table.

I have no problems initiating a voicedial from my bluetooth headset, so long as the phone isn't in standby (black screen). That makes it pretty useless though, because if I'm driving with my phone in my pocket, I can't pull it out and enter my password to make the voice dialing work.
Does your voice dial work, even when the phone is in standby with a black screen?

There was another thread on this issue. I have the same problem. If the screen is locked with say the pattern lock the bluetooth headset will not initiate by pressing the button on the bluetooth headset.

Hmmm, am I doing anything wrong or what?
Anytime I tap Voice Command or Voice Talk then give it a command, it shows Processing with a cycling circle then hung.
It happens with or w/o bluetooth.

If it's hanging, then that doesn't sound like something you've done wrong. It should never hang.

Voice dialing works great on the TMo version. Not as quick as before with my previous MDA. I say dial "XXX mobile" and it responds "dial XXX mobile" and I say yes and it calls. Also works for app launches etc.

Parrot ck3100 does, but I think it has the voice control software itselft...
I used to use aged SonyErricson T630 + HBH835, I had voice dialing with. But TP2 should be some kind of "PRO" ... well do you think it is impossible to activate this feature at all???
This is great news it is possible actually, but can you tell what kind of Bluetooth stack you have in your TP2? If I go to info dialog it says vesion 1.9.0 Build 4400, HCIv4.72/LMPv4.33031(15). What do you have in it?

It works. But PTT function of bluetooth handsfree does not anyways.
thank you very much hecksk. it's the only software having italian TTS to read sms (useful when driving or - as it often happens to me - your hand are busy holding the work bag, jacket and so on). bluetooth ptt means that I can't use by headset to give commands, right? awful then... I hope that someone will come out with a solution soon... strange that such an important feature is missing on a businness device like this..
HTC support said, that they have no idea why bla-bla-bla, please contact handsfree manufacture (SonyErricson) and voice dialer (VITO).
It's funny answer seems like standard reply form. Sad.
Hope there is some solution for this issue...
So if I palnning to get a " Blueant Q1 " Bluetooth headset will it work with T-mo. TP2?
Anyone using Blueant Q1 ???

Update... HTC tech informed yes MSVC is working correctly as tested on the TP2 units they use ... the 'Dopod' reference on post above referred to the brand of Headset not the dopod pda....
So voice activation via BT headset on MSVC works on some units not on others (depends on your rom) ... his advice... activate MSVC via the TP2 until a rom update... he said check weekly to see if one happens (so must be in pipeline) He also said Microsoft was working on MSVC as it does not play 100% with new Bluetooth Stacks so expect a new version (from v1.6) some time in future ... seems unless an industrious person finds a cab fix ... the only other option now, is find a rom that works and use that (which can bring other issues)

Atrix headsets

I have searched and found all kinds of conflicting information.
What is the story with the headset buttons and the atrix?
I have a headset that worked perfectly with my nexus one even with the stock player. With the atrix the phone takes over and the buttons only work to initiate a voice command.
Some third party apps such as winamp can get the play/pause to work.
So how do you get full music control on the atrix? If the answer is a new headset then why did mine work perfectly on the nexus one.
For full music control (not to mention audio quality) it would be best to use Stereo BT headphones, not a headset. http://goo.gl/ZiTpN
Hopefully there is a better way than BT. I really don't want to charge my headset.
worst part is that you can not received call with button on headsets.
as for music control...
do a market search for 'Headset Button Controller'
I know the button worked on my Atrix using the headphones that came with my Captivate for skipping songs and pausing. I don't know if I ever used it to recieve a call though.
I use Motorola SD9 HD's and all buttons on headset work. Auto switch for calls.
May have BT headset model wrong cos I'm in bar getting drunk!

[Q] Why can’t I place calls from a Bluetooth device when the phone is locked??

I'm hoping someone here has some *real* ideas or answers regarding this issue.
I have a handsfree Bluetooth kit in my car so that I can safely place calls while driving. This worked flawlessly with my previous Windows Mobile phones (Tilt/Tilt II). With the phone tucked in my pocket and the mobile OS “locked” I could press the voice activation button on the dashboard and easily call someone. Not so with my shiny new AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II. Now I have to dig the phone out and unlock the device before I can use my handsfree system… are we back in the smartphone dark ages?? I might as well take up texting and driving while I’m at it and forget the handsfree unit altogether.
Apparently Google in their infinite wisdom has decided already paired Bluetooth devices pose a security risk. As such, when Android is “locked” it disables any control from Bluetooth. I suppose if you work for the government or some place that you need Pentagon like security this makes sense. For the 95% of us that don’t need these draconian measures this is just plain stupid and potentially unsafe.
I've already rooted my phone. I've tried other ROMs like the latest builds of UnNamed, ICS'd Out, and CyanogenMod. None of these allow Bluetooth operation while the phone is locked (and in fact all of them introduced other issues). I've searched the forums but most similar posts go unanswered or contain nonconstructive replies (flames, unrealistic answers, etc).
I can't and won't disable ALL security. I won't give up making phone calls while driving - I'm on the road a decent amount and need to use that time productively. What are my other choices? Go buy an iPhone or a Windows Mobile unit which work "right"?? Seems like a crazy oversight by Google/Samsung/AT&T if those are my only options!
I would suggest using the official samsung Car dock, as the USB port on there has a special impedance that tells the phone to go into driving mode, which once you unlock the phone, it stays unlocked until you either lock it, or take it off the dock. It also charges your phone at the same time. However if you have a case, this will not work for you. You would need to solder up your own usb plug that has a certain impedance over some pins (theres a thread somewhere about that, its like a jig, but with different impedance) and just plug that in when you're driving, but you still have to unlock the phone at least once with it plugged in.

My biggest gripe with Android is that BT calling does not work as well as it did with WinMo's Voice Command (which works really well considering how poorly much of WinMo worked). Initiating calls via BT is my main gripe with Android. I wish Google would get it right already. That said, I have no problems answering calls via BT even when the phone is locked.
My phone is paired with the built-in BT in my car and I have no issue with making/taking calls while the phone is locked. Maybe its a compatibility issue with your particular hands-free device?
I also have no BT problem when locked, using the standard BT in my Toyota Avalon, 2011. Running rooted, UnNamed ROM, Entropy's DD 120811 kernel.
For those of you who think BT calling works just fine, I have to ask, have you ever used a WinMo phone with Voice Command? If not, then you don't know how well it's supposed to work. With VC, I could touch the call button on my BT headset or BT car stereo at ANY time, get a little chime and then say the name of the person I wanted to call and have it dial automatically. I never had to touch the phone to do this. When I try this on my Cappy or SGSII I get nothing. I have to initiate the call on the phone and using voice recognition on Android is spotty, at best, and requires more steps. At least answering a call is relatively easy. I have no love for MS, but they got this part right on their phones.

I'm headed into the AT&T store tomorrow to do some definitive tests but so far I'm skeptical people who say it's working for them truly have their phone locked. The Bluetooth unit in question is a Parrot CK3100 LCD - a bit dated (3 years old) but it works flawlessly with several WinMo phones, several non smartphones (mostly Nokia's), and we just tried a friend's iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4. In all cases phonebook and voice dialing not only worked excellently it worked when the phones were truly locked and the screen off.
On the other hand the 3 Android devices I've tried all have the same problem - they won't dial out either by phone book entry or voice recognition unless you unlock the device first. The 3 devices are: Samsung Galaxy S II (AT&T), Samsung Galaxy S (Verizon), and EVO 3D (T-Mobile).
Unfortunately I don't have any other Bluetooth headsets to try out, hence my planned trip to AT&T. I plan on walking out of their either with a Bluetooth device that works or an iPhone Thanks for the replies.
I hear you. I have a Motorola FINITI bluetooth headset and it will not voice dial with the screen locked on my AT&T Galaxy SII.

Are you using a pattern/pin lock? Or just the slide to unlock.
Just slide to unlock.
It works very well and very straightforward. I just press and hold the call button on my headset (while the phone is locked), and then after the tone say, "call John Doe on mobile" and it works.
Something for OP to consider in troubleshooting why he is unable get this work:
The BT voice dial works through the older pre-installed Vlingo (version 2.x). Even though I have the newer version (3) of Vlingo installed, the phone still launches the older preinstalled version of Vlingo for BT voice dial. So it seems the BT voice dial function is in some way hardcoded to that version of Vlingo.
Perhaps OP is using a custom ROM in which the older pre-installed Vlingo is removed(?). I know that is the case with some of the custom ROMs for the Int'l SGS2.
If I were to freeze or remove the older version of Vlingo, that might impact BT voice dial. Although I wouldn't expect it to affect the use of my phone through my car's build in BT.
Try it with a pattern lock or some kind, I believe that is what the OP has and its what "locks" the phone from using BT dialing, whether its voice based, or address book based from a headunit.
OK, if OP means that type of lock, then, no you cannot make a call when locked.
Although, it is not clear to me why one would want BT to bypass the lock in this manner. It seems the PIN or pattern lock would be pointless. If the phone is stolen (or lost) the person who stole it (or found it) could have access to your phone's contents through bluetooth. Am I missing something?
Definitely missing something. He wants the phone to be able to make calls while the phone is locked which is why i suggested to keep it unlocked by enabling driving mode through the mount.
My point was that allowing bypassing the lock through BT creates a exposure many would not want. The simplest solution might be keeping it unlocked either using a mount as you suggest, or using one of the profile apps that lets you create a profile to keep the phone unlocked when plugged in. He could then plug it into the car power adapter.
I use a pattern lock, and can make calls through the built-in BT in my car when the phone is locked. I can dial on the car's touch screen (disabled when the car is in motion, except for pre-set speed dials), or tell it to call someone by pressing a button on the steering wheel and saying the name. The car BT compares the spoken name with the list of contacts from my phone that have been BT-loaded into the car's contact list. Nevertheless,the call is made though the phone, since the vehicle BT is not itself a phone. Has anyone noticed that we have not heard again from Rajah, the originator of this thread? Rajah, are you there? Were your issues resolved?

Bluetooth breaks voice to text recongnition

Galaxy Note 2 - Verizon
I noticed I am able to talk to text using the messaging and gtalk app just fine while at home with bluetooth turned on. However once in and paired to my 2012 Toyota Highlander I am no longer able to talk to text in those applications unless I turn bluetooth off. Google Now is unaffected at all.
Anyone else notice this bug?

This has effected me on Google now also. The only thing that works right is s-voice, but who wants to use that!? I found a workaround, but you are basically still using your phone for the voice recognition, and the Bluetooth strictly for voice calls. If you can work with that and just toggle between the two if you want to use your Bluetooth for other audio, this will work for you.
Just go into your Bluetooth settings for whatever device you have paired, and turn off "media audio". Voice detection will now work fine, but you have to do it through the phone(which kind of defeats the purpose, but hey...it's just a temporary workaround). Hope this helps

Not just the Note II either. My SGS3 does exactly the same thing. Seems like a bug or someone, somewhere thought it was good idea. Siri (on my iPhone 4S)worked while streaming audio and paired to my car and my Nexus 7 works too (even though it doesn't have a 'phone' both options are there and checked and it works).
I just noticed this last night. While my headset was paired, I tried to use speech recognition through Swiftkey Flow Beta and it would not work. Also, when I hit the multi-purpose button on my headset to voice dial, SIRI would come up instead.
SIRI must die. Soon.
Is there anything new with this issue?
Between this and the other problem with the music player auto starting, my enjoyment of my note 2 while in my car is severely limited.
No movement but something needs to happen as this is really annoying.

Cyberon Voice Commander Works 10x than JB Voice Search, But...

Ok, I took the advice of using a 3rd Party App for Bluetooth Dialing from the Bug on Jelly Bean.
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=35199&q=bluetooth voice dial&colspec=ID
First I Tried EVA. Which was very nice but it would only work ONCE per boot. 2nd Time it would prompt on the handset when I clicked the Bluetooth button.
Then I tried Cyberon Voice Commander. This works perfectly. But I can't get the Default to Stick across reboots. Every time I reboot I get "Complete Action Using" list. It works PERFECT after that and does not require the Network and does confirmation. There is no trial you have to buy and you have 12 minutes to test it. I think we should start a petition against Google on that. You should have 24 hrs to evaluate.
If I uninstalled Google Search I can get it to Cyberon to Stick (because it's the only choice on Bluetooth and does not prompt at all). But if you do that you lose Voice initiated Navigation which I use all the time. Google Voice Dial also works fine on the handset.
Some folks suggested Slingo, but I hate trying yet another app.
I've tried suggestions of repairing headset I even tied a full wipe.
I'm on MeanBean 1.1 but I doubt that has anything to do with it.
One way to fix it is, I believe, there must be a way to take Bluetooth Voice Dial out of Google Searches "capabilities" manifest. So that Cyberon is the only app for Bluetooth.
It was actually Vlingo not Slingo that someone suggested.
It appears Dragon Speech Folks acquired them or something.
Any way Dragon Mobile Assistant (Beta) and is free

Never mind Dragon is "Broken" over Bluetooth too.
It doesn't actually switch to the Headset MIC.
It has amazing recognition and still a very nice app.
But if the phone is in my pocket in the Car it's not gonna work which is what I'm trying to fix.
I covered the Mic's to test it over Bluetooth and got Nuttin.

Also read a post I made a few replies up to a work around to get Cyberon to work even better.
Bluetooth VOICE dial over headset cannot find contacts.
Cars do their own voice regonition to their own uploaded contacts.
Once a call is established the Bluetooth headset works fine. Or if a call comes in.
The Handset Voice Dial also works fine.
It's broken on all phones that are on 4.1.X JB. It's said to be fixed in 4.2.X
You can fool yourself into thinking that it works if say you only call your Favorites (because I think it prioritizes those).
It will also work if I Clear Caches for a few minutes. It's like it builds a bogus regonition cache for the headset.
If you only have a dozen contacts it might work.
I have 400 Contacts. It can find my wife every time, but not a single other contact works.
ICS Google Search worked fine.
There are almost 200 replies to the bug on Google all kinds of devices.
It was also broken on ICS ROMs that added Google Now from JB 4.1.
