I have trawlled the net for the problem with this and possible solutions.
Has any one some information on what the exact problem is........because if the problem is known then there can be an attempt to fix it.
I have the Jabra BT800 and O2 Xda Mini and it would be most excellent to click on the BT800 to initiate a voice dial which triggered MS Voice Command or equivalent.
There must be someone out there who knows how to fix this.
Any breaking news in the BT Voice Dial area ?

been busy with work so this is actually my first free time to personalize my xda2. i'm almost done but what's puzzling me is the bluetooth configuration.
i followed the instructions for both the xda2 and jabra headset for bonding. no problems so far but what's puzzling me is how to use the headset now that they're bonded. i tried testing it by pressing on the headset once...but no 2 blips sounded. or by activating the media player, but still no luck.
what am i doing wrong or am i not doing something which i'm supposed to?
thanks for any help you can give
robson
headset profile is only for phone usage. u can't use it for anything else. i have hbh-65 and as long as headset is on and call comes in it goes to bluetooth and rings
alex
hey thanks! and all the while i thought i was doing something wrong. do i leave the bluetooth setting mode to "on"? and when a call comes in, the phone rings and i can hear it immediately through the bt headset? do i need to press any buttons on the headset to activate it or is it automatic (i can answer right away)?
i guess i got used to having the bluetooth adaptor plugged to my old xda that i'm still looking for those 2 blips whenever i depress the bt headset button.
cheers

answered my own question
hey kalex, please disregard my previous post; i guess i just answered my own inquiries about the blue tooth bonding thing by using my landline and calling my mobile. the bt works great between the phone and the headset; when the mobile rang it immediately sounded off in my headset; just needed to press the button once to activate it. thanks a bunch!
cheers mate
robson
hey kalex or whoever can help out; the bluetooth headset works well when the phone rings and i take the call. however; how do you use the bt headset when you want to make an outgoing call?
cheers
robson
man, you really need to read the manual.
As the manual states, the jabra headset supports voice dialing.... only by default the XDA-II does not. You'd need to look at the various voice dial packages and see about getting that to work with the headset.... I dont fancy your chances... on the other hand maybe someone has already done this?
sorry dude; like i said i was a little busy with work so you'll have to pardon my excitement of fooling around with the xda...not to mention skipping the part about the manual
cheers mate
robson
I recently got an xda 2 and am buying a jabra 250. i presume that i'll need some voice software to make this totally hands free. or is this not the case.
any comments welcome :?:
I think the voice dial and headset issue is down to the headset BT profile that the XDA-II has plus the voice dial software supporting it.....
its muddy as hell, maybe someone else has a better idea. If I were you I'd find the voice dial software (there is plenty about) and then ask the authors for their recommendations.
voice software
Hello,
I can only say "me to" - I have HDW-2 Nokia headset but still looking for the voice software. I have tryied MS voice and I can say - forget the Microsoft voice - it is only dialing 7 or 10 digits numbers and trying to recognize the names - as most of my entries have non english names it does not work at all. I would rather have simple dialing digit-by-digit or nokia style recognition of the voice marks.

okay, we had both thursday and friday off as holidays here in thailand; which gave me enough time to finally read the manual cover to cover. and i still have a question; you guys will have to forgive me but i need to clarrify something.
when receiving a call the sound is automatically directed to the bt headset. i can either manually accept the call or use the "answer call after this number of rings" function. no problems there so far.
my question goes back to making a call using the bt headset without the aid of any voice dial apps. when you dial a number and send it; can the bt headset still be used? or is it purely for incoming calls? i read the manual (both for the xda2 and the bt headset) and it doesn't say anything about this.
you'll have to excuse my persistence as i really don't know the answer to this one. neither the manuals nor the devices show the answer. perhaps some friendly chaps from the site can help as well?
cheers

just try it! You have to use that little green button to make the call, but then the call is treansferred to the headset.

ah, after a little more research in the forum based from your response; i finally got the bonding issue nailed to the ground! what i did was delete the bond between the xda2 and the bt; i then rebonded them and now it's working properly. cheers!

Since the 750V can use voice command through the bluetooth headset is there any chance that the developers will get this working on the 700wx?
There is a chance as long as the hardware is up to it on the 700wx.
this is the only thing i really want off the 750v for my 700wx. i can only hope
"codyPPC" seems like you and I are in the same boat. I see you in all of the other forums asking the same questions as me. The 700wx would be the absolute perfect phone for me if ONLY it had bluetooth voice command digit dialing and bluetooth name dialing. The other things from the 750v I don't care about and most likely wouldn't use them. But only if someone could just get the bluetooth digit and name dialing working on the 700wx then I would be all set.
any progress on this and or is anyone currently working on this? i cant belive there arent others as needed for this as i.
thanks, cody
well, benjimatt with hannip for the assist are attempting to replace all the BT files on the 700wx with the 750 ones, which would in theory allow to this to happen (as well as a2dp), but no one has tried it yet.

basically you are hitting a limitation of the version of Voice Command on the 700wx. The 750v's Bluetooth isn't even supported but *kind of* works with some headsets. Microsoft won't support BT Voice Dialing officially until Crossbow so anything that works beforehand is out of luck. This is an OS limitation and not a Palm/Hardware 700wx limitation.
As somebody mentioned before, maybe using the Voice Command out of a newer AK may work.

not to argue, but even with a different version of voicecommand (1.6) it still doesn't work. it has been said that it is in the bluetooth stack not voicecommand.
Did anyone manage it to run MS VoiceCommand via a bluetooth headset on this device?
Ok, I installed the latest version of voice command on the new O2 XDA Orbit 2.
It works good with the bluetooth headset without any patches.
However call notification does not work. Does anyone have any idea for that?
How can I disable Voice Command and make all sound being routed to the headset?
The solution with Mortscript (posted somewhere else in this forum) does not work... any other idea?
ulischultz, how did you manage to get ms voice command to work? I've got the HTC Touch Cruise, and I can't get MSVC to work via bluetooth. Works fine on my AT&T tilt with no hacks.

I am having the exact same problem: voice command works but will not announce incomming calls. I can't believe how much I've become dependent upon this feature. As for getting it to work, there was nothing special that I had to do other than install it and soft boot.

I was having problems with some random disconnects of my TC from the car Parrot 3200LS BT Handsfree CarSystem.
I found this program mentioned on another site(http://www.htcwizardweb.net/node/456 ):
JETware Mobile (http://www.jetwaremobile.com/
I installed the trial today and so far it appears to be making a significant difference with the TC and MS VoiceCommand.

Searched, but no results for this problem. I have Alltel, Touch Pro. Connect to bluetooth headset is fine. Calls ring in, talk, hang up all ok. Cannot initiate a voice command call either thru contacts nor by the phone number. Acts like it wants to, but then does nothing. Motorola H680, which lists the Alltel Touch Pro as compatable. If I manually dial using the phone touch screen, works ok.
Solution
Found a 3td party app that works for my setup.
http://www.jetwaremobile.com/index.htm
$14.95, 30 day free trial so I tested before buying.
They were not too clear on this, so if someone else uses it, you say "call" to bring up a contact, and "dial" to have phone dial a phone number you supply.

You shouldn't need the add-on software. If you look at the advanced information on the BT screen for your headset, what profiles does it show and which ones are checked.
I'm using a Plantronics Discovery 655/665 (same headset) and don't have any issues with VC initiating.
TP Hands free is not an option for this or any headset with Alltel. At least, that is what HTC support said. Are you with Alltel and HTC got that wrong? Taking support for its word, didn't figure to go buy n try different headsets other than the ones we already own and know works on other phones. 'Tis why I posted here, hoping there might be a reg hack someone knew about. Then got HTC email reply saying Alltel did not activate that service for the TP. Alltel support has been zilch on this subject. btw, HTC email support has been pretty good, usually within a few hours during workdays.
Have a look at this thread; it includes supporting posts on how to get the most out of MS VoiceCommand ... including Bluetooth.

Sorry to answer so late. Yes, BT profile was set to Hands Free.
Hello,
I have been doing a lot of research on this problem and I can't find any solution to this. My voice command on my updated phone from windows mobile 6.1 to 6.5 does not announce incoming calls over my bluetooth head set. I have a Jawbone Prime and I ONLY once have heard it announce a call over the BT headset and I beleive this was under version 6.1 of windows mobile. It announces just fine over the regular speaker but not anything over BT. Does anyone have a solution to this? Everything else works just fine just not this, which I find to be the most important part. Yes the options are checked under voice command to announce incoming calls. Any help would be great!
Thanks.
Update
It appears that the bluetooth announce call stuff works just fine over bluetooth. The only thing you need to do other than making sure VC is enabled to announce is go under the bluetooth settings and select advance and then audio and under the audio settings check the check box for play system sounds on remote hands-free device. After doing this it worked just fine. Also before I did any of this I did a master reset on my device just incase any of the past reg. edits were possibly a problem, and I just wanted to make sure I started from a clean slate. But it works just fine!

Possible fix
I downloaded a an app called high tech speaking. Initially it did not work BUT for some strange reason, it began began announcing the caller via voice command. The problem is that i could not push the talk button on my headset to answer the call. I had to push the button on the phone. This, however, is a step in the right direction. I am not a programmer by any means but someone out there is. Get this app and correct problem for all voice commanders out there.
