So I just recently switched to Android (finally!) from Windows Mobile. One thing I still haven't figured out how to do yet:
In WinMo I mapped out so that if I long pressed a button on my phone it would, essentially, dial 1 in my current phone conversation. This was very handy for Google Voice calls.
When I'm in the car it was easy to just press and hold a volume button to take my call on my BT headset rather than fumbling with getting the phone out, then pressing the screen to open the keypad, then pressing '1'.
Anyone have an good ideas on how to do this in Android?
Shamelessly bumping my post...
Anyone have any ideas? I used to us VJKeyPress in WinMo, but I haven't been able to find anything similar in Android. The closest I got was a plug in into Locale that will dial a number. But, even during a call, this tries to initiate a new call rather than pressing the '1' key in my existing call.

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?
when i'm in keylock
not all the key (especially vol + -) aren't locked
does someone has the same issue ?
You must be using the default HTC Volume bar.
Fire up your favorite registry editor.
Navigate to HKCU\Software\HTC\BootLauncher\Services.
Delete the key HTC Volume.
Reboot.
Got another problem.
If device is locked and in "sleep" mode, and someone call me, device is still locked during the call. It's really anoying, if I need to activace HF, i must unlock device and pres up button.
Is there any way to auto-unlock phone with answering a call ?
I don't think there's a way to. Anyway if the phone is unlocked during the call, you have to manually lock it after the call.
To activate speakerphone mode, you can hold the send/talk button in a call.
No problem with locking the phone after the call.
For example. Incoming call in car - need to: Answer call -> Unlock Device -> Activate Speaker.
Got NK3110c too, and there is an option "answer via speakerphone mode" -> Nothing like this Rose ? I found some appz, but all of that was for touchable devices.

Answer the call, then hold the send button to switch to speakerphone mode..
If you wanna do more things, like putting the current call on hold or look up a contact then you have to unlock the phone.

Holding send button have no effect. Maybe some settings needed ?
It works for me. Even the user manual says so.
And no i did not perform any configuration.
cooool
it works
but now i'd like when the keyboard is locked that the shutdown conversation doesn't works either.
When I'm receiving calls the phone is in a bag and I lose conversation because when I walk ... my leg closes the conversation
Thanks for help !
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 ..
Hi,
Everytime I make a call from the mw600 the phone wakes up, is there a way to stop it?
Most of the time is inside my pocket and start doing things I dont want to.
Thanks
Firstly, how do you make a call with MW600?
I do have this Bluetooth from X10 period, but I never knew I could do that!!
Are you talking about the voice dial?
heh
Well actually you can redial your last call by pressing the answer button twice, give it a try

Strangely enough, mine invokes the voice dialer only, where I have to say and my phone will do something it thinks!.
Strange...On mine it works fine...
Press the button as fast as you can twice, if you dont press it fast enough it start the voice dial
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.
