On Xperia P stock firmware, I notice that my bluetooth headsets (older, tried and proven Jabra 250 and Parrot CK3000 evolution) allow me to pick up and hang up phone calls with the button(s). However, using the "call pickup" button does not activate voice dialing like I'm used to with other devices, or even with CM9.
Is there a way to hack my desired Bluetooth usage (i.e. start voice dialing/voice search) into the device without using CM9? I've tried several apps like Vlingo but they don't work either.
I've noticed similar behaviour on the Xperia Arc by the way....

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
Xperia X10 have been using.
Phone "Accessories" section,
I bought the Hi-Fi Wireless Headphone FM Radio MW600.
Although this product is compatible with phone accessories;
-The phone does not show the caller's id.
-The phone does not show the name of the music id.
- FM Radio MW600 Hi-fi, wireless headphones connected to my phone,
Incoming call ring tone is playing faster than normal.
This reason, my phone ring tone is playing very bad.
I am waiting for help in an emergency.
What phone do you Pair with MW600..?
Is MW600 already pair correctly as Media & Phone Headset in your phone..?
Try This Step...Reset your MW600 (Turn OFF MW600 - Holddown Power Button "until pairing indicator appear" - "Press & Hold" Both "Power & Call Button" until MW600 Turn OFF)..then Try to Re-Pairing your MW600 with the phone (Set Phone Bluetooth to "Visible").
* MW600 seem Doesn't Show the Caller ID..but it Show Only a Phone Number.
* In Several/Most Phone Type like I've Try with Xperia X10, AINO U10, Samsung Galaxy Spica & Samsung U900 (SouL)..MW600 Will Not Display Track or Music ID..It only Displaying a "WronG Time/Clock" (Paired with Samsung Device)..Don't ask Me Why..
* The Radio should be Work Seperately with a Bluetooth..when Radio beeing Use..Bluetooth will Disconnect with the Phone as "Media Headset" but It Still Pair as "Calling Headset" (We Still able to Receive Call).
* There Should be NO PROBLEM with a Phone RingTone..?!?
Hii Shadows
you say, I did it,
case, no change.
Thank's
Hello ,
for the caller's id,music id it an android issue ,i tried my mw600 with a cheap sony ericsson,and all works well ,but on x10 no :/ hum .
for the issue with the fast ringtone i have it too,and this since the official 2.3.3 update =S ,with 2.1 and 1.6 no probleme,also i have another problem some times when i listen music,then i have an incoming call ,if i answer,it works well,but sometimes when i hang off ,the mw600 stay freezed and displays like an incoming call all the time,the only solution is to turn it off the on again ,i think sony ericsson messed with the bluetooth in 2.3.3 .
by the way sorry for my bad English
Other than the commonly known issues of only displaying phone numbers and no TrackID, I've had no difficulty with my MW600 on my x10 under Wolf's or FeraLab's ROMs (Both based on 2.3.4).
One issue I HAVE had is that I can't be sure which media app is going to steal the focus of the Play/Pause, FF/RW buttons on the device. If I run TuneIn Radio or the Stock Media app, I can't control the Walkman app (my preference) until I reboot the phone. Hopefully I can find a solution to this one. Terribly annoying.
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.
1.The problem
Owned a C902-I changed,bought Xperia Ray. In the car Sony HCB 400 handsfree installed. It worked with the old mobile and not working with the new. The main problem is that I cant record my voice commands VoiceSpeedDial-no default possibility for voice dialing in the NEW Sony mobiles why? - HCB doesnt send my command via bluetooth, mobile has to "hear" it and its microphone too sensitive. HCBfirmware? Bluetotth version? ROM? Please help.
2. My mail to Cyberon
Dear Cyberon,
it's a very good app, Ithink the only what works as the usual ones on older phones.
One question (and problem), because I can't use it till this problem exists.
1. If I record a voice dial command for a phone book entry this app uses my phone's microphone instead of my handsfree kit's microphone (as the old phones).
2. If I initialize a voice calling with the handsfree's button (connected bluetooth certainly) my phone has to 'hear' the command instead of my handsfree's microphone (usual at the old one(s)).
I tried it with other phone (and other program), with my old phone (with the default possibility built in the older phones) and it worked, the handsfree's microphone sent my voice command to the phone and that is called for me who I wanted.
My new phone can't hear my voice command via bluetooth connected handsfree's microphone.
Is this possible to say in your program that if a handsfree connected your program has to use that microphone instead of the phones one?
I would like to try a beta version, think it would be great for other Sony users as well.
(Other question: with the new android (at the end of March) your app will work same as now or conceivable that will work fine?)
(old phone is Sony C902, new one is a Xperia Ray, the handsfree is a Sony HCB 400, bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP, EDR, the app is Voice Speed Dial (most similar to the old (default) program (I like it for this reason, it's language independent)).
best regards
3. An answer from the cyberon
Thanks for your inquiry!
Regarding to your questions, Voice Speed Dial did support the handsfree function, however, we found out that the ROM which built by Sony Ericsson had been changed, the audio driver in Sony Ericsson's phone could not switch to the right audio path that Voice Speed Dial uses, and Voice Speed Dial just follows the official Android system to work on Android phones, since Sony Ericsson did not follow the official Android system to develop their ROM, we may not able to change the system at this moment, hope Sony Ericsson would fix the issue in the future.
This is my problem. Can anybody help?
(sorry for my bad English)
try cyanogen rom

Apologies in advance if I have misunderstood your situation. Maybe my satisfactory result represents some difference between the "Headset" & "Handsfree" profiles.
I have a Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray (Android 2.3.4) and a BlueAnt Q2 Bluetooth headset. The phone's bluetooth settings indicate that the BlueAnt Q2 is connected to both "phone" & "media" audio. I have Cyberon's Voice Speed Dial installed.
When I said "Phone Commands" to the BlueAnt Q2, the phone opened the default Android Voice Dialer whereas I wanted it to open the Cyberon Voice Speed Dial.
On the phone I went to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>All>Voice Dialer and selected "Clear defaults".
The next time I said "Phone Commands" to the BlueAnt Q2, the phone offered to open "Voice Dialer" or "Voice Speed Dial". I selected (Cyberon's) "Voice Speed Dial" as the default.
I have a strange problem with Xperia Go phone and bluetooth headset. My voice is distorted in the direction to person whom I'm speking and I can not use the headset as daily use.
It seems like the microphone gain is set full-time maximum. If I talk quietly the sound is clear, but if I raise my voice it get distorted.
And this is not just me, some of Xperia (Go/U/P) phone owners report same problem in Sony Xperia™ support forum. For some strange reason, some users do not seem to have any problems?
I've tried three different Xperia phone and five different bluetooth headset device, all have the same problem. Other brand phones with headsets working as it should.
The same problem occurs with a stock ICS / JB and CM9.
How the headset microphone gain is adjusted, is there some mechanism for feedback from the phone? Does anyone here have the same problem?
I had this problem a while ago, Xperia U with Jabra CLIPPER, after using the "repair my phone" functionality in PCC, so contacted the customer support in Jabra and they told me to wait until the battery dies, then recharge, also to use it with Wi-Fi disabled, does not really make sense to me but noticed some improvements, finally sold it, and used a wired headset instead... sad but true...
I have also tried everything to fix the problem: wlan off, charging, screen off, repair phone and hf software, isolated phone to another room (to see if internal mic is active same time with bluetooth mic), tried every settings in audio.conf etc.
I have noticed that the "distortion threshold" depends on bluetooth device - the more expensive device (more sensitive microphone?) - more distortion.
Also, Jelly Bean brought little improvement in the situation, but it does not fix it completely.
Does anyone have an interest / skills to investigate the problem more? Is it possible to monitor messages on phone and the bluetooth device to see if the phone tells bluetooth device to set mic gain at maximum?
seems like my xperia go also having the same problem.. when using bluetooth headset, people cant hear my voice clearly, the mic too sensitive causing my voice distorted, and this problem only happen when using bluettooth headset. tried with a few different bluetooth headset and the problem still there.. any solution for so far? can this problem solve by sending phone to sony service center?
