Does bluetooth dialing (long press on headset, say call Bob) work on the stock HTC One? I have seen a lot of discussion of JB phones that voice dialing is broken on (including my non-rooted One X). I was thinking about upgrading, but wanted to see about this first.

Did you try disabling Google Search on the One X? That worked on some models of phone.
Regardless, has anyone tried to do voice dial via bluetooth on the One? That would be a big pain if it didn't work.
I just killed my old Captivate and was thinking about jumping from Sammy to HTC on AT&T.

Yes, I tried that. It disabled Google search as expected but it didn't help the voice dial. Maybe if they ever make the OTA JB on the One X rootable that will fix it.
Has anyone who go the new One tried BT voice dialing?

Went to Best Buy and asked to pair a BT headset to a One. Voice dialing worked fine.

On my One, with the Google Search update it stops working over Bluetooth. If I uninstall the update for google Search, it works again.
I'm using the stock ROM.

Posting this to see if anyone else has this, and if any one knows how to make it work.
I use Google Voice for my international calls, but after the upgrade the dialer takes over, Google voice can not be used to "only make international calls"
i have to use "ask for every call" which is not the best solution.
[EDIT] that option does not work either
I'm having the exact same problem.
I even made several international phone calls, thinking that maybe Google Voice was running in the background... now I'll get hit with the charges for international calls from AT&T :s
Any solution to this problem?
I'm using the X10i 2.1 Global firmware on a X10a (AT&T)
hope this helps

Looks like as sony do not use default dialer it is going to be a problem

unfortunately the suggested process does not work
I found a way to make calls by google voice. I went to the browser, went to the google voice website, and from there, I placed the call. Then I received the phone call from my google number, and it connected me to the number I was calling.
It's more troublesome than just using the app, but it is a workaround.
Any other ideas or solutions?

When you do that, aren't you still using the GSM network and your sim card to have the call connected?
I am having identical problems (2.1 Nordic) and trying to use google voice over WiFi to avoid using network minutes but Sony's dialer takes over... hopefully sony or GV will update and fix this real soon... very frustrating

I use Google Voice for international calls... so I'm still using my GSM minutes, but just as a local call, not with international rates.
Have same problem. Cost me one expensive international phone call.
Generic FW, Build 2.0.A.0504 - X10i/ATT USA
GV screen comes up, then native dialer takes over. Have used workaround posted above, but naturally would just like to be able to use it as intended.
Just a heads up to anyone who has updated to 2.1.
I have the Rogers 2.1 and using AT&T as the carrier. GV does not work for ANY of my outgoing phone calls even when I specify to use GV only.
If the issue is SE's dialer, is there a way to revert back to the generic dialer?
Thanks
I'm also having this issue, only after recently upgrading my X10 to the generic 2.1 software. I wonder if anyone has found a solution yet?
I've had this problem since day 1, since I'm from Canada and use my GV to call my american / long distance friends. I have had to use the website workaround since day one, and it really bugs me. When I was working from the iPhone app, it worked properly (call me, then call the number I'm trying to call). Since switching to my X10a, I can't have it just call me, it uses the dialer directly.
So, I use up about 100-200k of my data plan to make the call. Not a big deal, just kind of annoying.
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.

Settings/Voice input and output/Voice input/Voice recognition
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.
Hey guys I'm rooted and what not I have google now enabled so when I say OK google I can voice dial or what not just fine.
But if I have my screen off and try to use voice dial with my BT headset it uses a really shi**y voice dial I've never seen before. How can I change that? To be like my moot x or nexus phones ? They have a much better voice dial system...
Thanks for any help.

I use Bluetooth Launch from the Play Store. With that you can choose to use Google Search with a long press from your BT headset. It's not perfect, but it's a heck of a lot better than that crappy Google Dial.
Thanks bud I will try it and see how it works...
That app does not work any other ideas?
