XDAII + Bluetooth headset + MS Voice Command ???

I've not got my XDAII yet.....but curious to know whether this setup works, i.e. XDAII installed with MS Voice Command and wearing the Bluetooth headset - do the voice commands work ok through the headset down to the XDAII or do the commands have to be spoken to the XDAII directly ? Also, is it necessary to have to push a button on the XDAII before you speak to it - or does it listen all the time ?
Thanks for your help,
Nutz

Voice Command doesn't work with a Bluetooth headset.
You need to press a button on the XDA2 to invoke VC and make it accept a command. This must be because it's so sophisticated that if it listened all the time, it would a) run your battery down, and b) hear commands that you didn't intend.

but even....
so, there is no way to make my XDA II work as my old SonyEricsson T610 (on SE T610 - when I perss button on headset and say voice command into it and than it repeats me that command for check and running it...) - no way to achieve even half of this on XDA II ?
( )

I understand it can be done using the supplied wired headphone, but no, not with bt headset. Too bad!

is this the same as voice dialing ?
my bluetooth headset manual says to press the button and speak the command to dial the contact
this is a Sony-Erricsson HBH-35
surely some software somewhere for the XDAII would support this ?

How to make wired headset button start Voice Command

I've searched everywhere but cant find a solution to this: I bought the HTC wired usb headset for the Tilt. With Cyberon voicedial, the button on the headset would activate the app and worked perfectly. As I prefer MS Voice Command, I then went ahead and uninstalled Voicedial and installed VC, but button doesnt work now. Anyone know how to remap the headset button to voice command?

Try this reg, should do it.

Thanks, I'll give it a try...what changes does it make?

Sometimes after installing MS Voice Command you need to do a reset once or twice before the BT headset is reconized properly. (battery out and back in...) And, some BT headsets don't work well at all. MS's BT driver set has a history of being bad.

I think you misread my post...I was asking about the WIRED headset, not the BT one.

okay my question is that the software that came with my tilt- voice dail thing,cyberon will only work if I activate it by clicking the icon, however, I can't start it with a BT headset that I have, can anyone help?

well first fo all did you even activate it for you to use it?

Handle call through PC

Hey guys-
I'm running My Mobiler to output the display, and control my phone (Tilt/Kaiser/TytnII/8925) via my PC (XP sp2).
When I receive a call, My Mobiler allows me to accept/reject/sms etc through my pc (really through my phone dialer but I'm using my keyboard and mouse), but when I want to accept the call, and talk to my caller, I'm having to pickup the phone, and resort to what I'll call 'untethered' phone use (i.e., phone to ear/BT headset).
What I'd like to do (and hopefully where you guys can help me out) is to use some method or software to relay the call through my PC (and use my pc's built in speakers & mic). Bonus if the method leverages something I'm already running (ActiveSync/My Mobiler).
Additional info:
BT is an option, but it's Toshiba stack, which from my researching doesn't' seem to support the Headset profile on PC.
Thanks

well if your pc has bluetooth it should be able to work....i have a usb to bluetooth adapter for my pc and i can get the audio going to it never tired to use a mic or use my pc as a speaker phone but 1 thing for sure the audio from calls go on my pc....if i had a mic i would test it out...also as another option(if your phone has it.) u could just use speaker phone...

What's the make/model of the USB BT you're using?
Mine is:
Toshiba Bluetooth Stack for Windows
Version v5.10.15
When I pair up the profiles displayed on the tilt are:
A2DP: Advanced Audio Distribution Profile
SPP: Serial Port Profile
The profiles in the Toshiba BT manager are:
DUN: Dial-Up Networking Profile
LAP: LAN Access Profile
If I use my BT headphones (Sonorix C3) with MortPlayer, A2DP works, If I try to use the Toshiba USB BT it doesn't work.
I think the one I need is (either)
HSP: Headset Profile
or
HFP: Handsfree Profile
I'm suspecting the toshiba bt stack is to blame, anyone else able to use a toshiba stack and get HSP/HFP working on their PC?

Im currently using My Mobiler to use my VOX due to having removed the broken screen from its shell
whenever i take a call, all i do is put it on speakerphone and it works fine
using the computers speakers and mic would be great fun, but for me its impossible due to the bluetooth dongle i use not having any compatible (free) software that uses audio streaming, but if it did, audio streaming should work with both speakers AND a mic! so it should in theory work.
i think

Speakerphone isn't an option, I'm in an office and the sharing of my conversation with my coworkers via loud speaker wouldn't be appreciated.
I intend to use a headset+mic combo hooked up to my pc, this way I can listen to music off my pc, and handle calls.
flow would be:
[Phone]<--display&control(via My Mobiler)-->[KVM - PC]
[Phone]<--voice*(Need solution here)*-->[MIC & Headset - PC]

Salling Clicker Is on the road to what I'd like to do, although it doesn't have voice support under windows. It's on the road to PPC <> PC convergence.
Any one have any experience with tweaking Salling Clicker to work with voice?

When I paired my MDA Vario III with my notebook (HP TC4200 Tablet PC running a Broadcomm BT stack) I had a "Voice gateway" service available from my phone. This is in addition to DUN and Network Access Point services. Basically when I PC and phone connect my PC acts as a BT speakerphone.
I've not used the setup that often but it seems to work pretty well. When 1st connected a pop up briefly appears to inform me that the "Call Monitor" is active and that's it til a call comes in. At that point a notification gets displayed saying the number or callerID with buttons for "Accept & "Reject". If I take the call, or transfer and active call to the BT headset then my PC picks up the call.
By default my notebook uses its built in loudspeaker and microphone. However I can also pair my PC with a BT headset then route all sounds through it. It's a bit of a faff though as I have to change the active sound device to whatever headset is connected. I also need to connect the PC and eadset 1st if the headset is also paired with the phone, otherwise the real BT headset may take the call instead of the "virtual" one (notebook). I haven't tried this with my BT stereo headset though, only my conventional mono...
Whilst playing during a particularly boring teleconference I also discovered that I can record the calls and pass the sound through a text to speech converter supplied with the PC... the results of the latter are more for entertainment than serious use, althoug I suppose with some training it might be better...
I also use Salling Clicker. The phone events work pretty well, but to date I've yet to take a call using the PC whilst it is running.
Not sure if this helps in your case, but it seems like what you want to do is definitely possible.

Fatman it's like you've taken a page right out of my book. What software are you using for speech to text? This could make for a useful and entertaining audit trail... Sounds like I need to pickup a new BT adapter based on the Broadcomm stack. If anybody has had any luck using the Toshiba stack, please share.

I'm not sure if the program is available as separate software. It's called "Microsoft English Recognizer" and was pre-installed on my notebook. I have no idea how it compares to any other programs. I've only playted around with it very briefly as a way of killing time during a boring teleconference!
However, I can't see why any program couldn't be used as the sound from the phone is available to any software as the BT stream from the phone becomes the default input sound feed.
One thing I will definitely be trying next time is recording the call whilst taking notes using Tablet Enhancements for Outlook. THis basically augments the normal MS Outlook Journal functions so I can take handwritten notes which can be edited, commented, and then later searched. If you record the microphone feed (i.e. the phone call in my case) the notes are then linked into "timeline" of the call so you can see what notes were taken when, and conversely what happened in the call when you took a particular note... should be useful if it works...
Let me know if you need any additional info about BT stack versions and drivers etc but it does sound like you'd need the Broadcomm stack - ISTR reading that the Brioadcomm stacks on some PocketPCs have laways performed better than the MS equivalents, and it appears that the same if true for PCs too... The BT on my notebook is far more reliable, and flexible than that on my work PC which uses an MS BT dongle. However, that may be due to the fact that the BT on my notebook is built in and not USB...
Good luck!

WM6.5 and BT HS behavior

Sorry if this has been discussed before, but I couldn't find it by searching.
I very much like WM6.5, however, as many different versions as I've flashed, the common denominator for me is my BT headsets don't behave the same way as with WM6.1. Meaning, they pair fine, but when connected and a call comes in, the ring tone doesn't play thru the HS but thru the phone's speaker. The HS plays a generic tone. If a call is accepted via the HS, the caller can be communicated with via the HS. If a call is accepted via the handset with the HS connected, only the handset can be used for communication.
I've tried using my standard BlueAnt Z9i, Plantronics B110, and Jabra 840. All 3 behave in the same manner. Is there something I'm missing?

Works for Me
This is awesome. I have the BlueAnt Z9i with WM6.1. The way you described the behavior in WM6.5 is EXACTLY what I think it SHOULD do. I never have my headset in my ear unless I'm on the phone, so I hate the fact that it ONLY rings in the headset when I'm not wearing it.
It would be nice if this were configurable through some kind of settings, but I haven't found a way to adjust it. Looks like its time for me to find a nice 6.5 ROM.

I know what you mean as well as I have the same blue ant and the new Q1 and it seems like the auto a2dp is off. There is a software that will porce it on but it kills the BT HS bat.

I could live with part of this feature, the ringing of the handset. But I can't live with the problem of answering on the handset and not being able to use the BT HS.

I've since discovered the wanted behavior is a feature of MSVC. After upgrading to v1.6.19209, I now have all I want with the exception of initiating voice calls from the HS. Pressing the button only opens the audio gateway and doesn't initiate the MSVC prompt. Calls and calendar reminders are announced as wanted.
Has anyone been able to solve this little annoyance?

All device audio via bluetooth

How can I stream all device audio via bluetooth to my radio in wm 6.5.5 (touch pro)? With wm 6.1 this was possible; no I can't get it work (I need it for navigation via radio)?
Bluetooth works for phone calls.
I have tried the BTaudio app; this mutes audio at my device; but I get no audio via my radio.

i use BTAudio as well, and everything goes to my headset. however, i don't use the BTAudio ON/OFF, where it pops up a screen and you have to push the button to toggle on and off, then minimize the screen. there is another component called BTAudio Toggle. the icon looks like a Bluetooth symbol with headphones on. i also run Manila 2D, so i just add it to my Launcher and i have ALL audio come through my headset by just clicking a button one time. and at the top of my screen it put a little icon of a head with headphones on, so i KNOW it's connected. i've only been able to find the BTAudio download WITH this other component one time, and i can't even remember where i found it. but if you want to send me your email, i'll shoot it over to you. i'm not sure if the copy of BTAudio that you are using has this third component with it, but if not, just let me know and i'll shoot it your way. Just PM me.
