Is it possible to have the BT headset announce incoming calls but still have the phone ring with Voice Command 1.6?
Seems like it's an all or nothing deal so far... either ring and announce through the BT headset (by selecting "Announce Incoming Calls") or ring and announce through handset... Notifications work fine though. The handset would play the alert then the BT headset will announce the reminder.
Currently, when I have Incoming Call announcements activated and set up to announce over bluetooth, the ringtone would also be played over bluetooth and the handset is just silent.
I have to turn off my headset at night else I'd miss any calls while I am sleeping. While I love VC, this is one thing that's just been driving me nuts. Is it possible to keep the ringtone playing on the handset and announcements over bluetooth?
How VC handles calendar reminders is exactly the way I like it. Mine currently Rings on handset -> Announce over BT -> Ring on handset -> Ring on handset -> Ring on handset...
On a more minor note, is it possible to delay the announcements to compensate for bluetooth lag? I have a Plantronics 655 and it has a 1-2 second lag so always miss the first 1-2 seconds of whatever VC is saying. Calendar reminders being the most important since I would just hear "15 minutes".
I've tried modifying the HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0->Script Value and HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\TTSAnnounce->Script Value and the only things I was able to do was to have the announcement before the ringtone (by adding w3 at the beginning of RingTone0) and muting the announcement (by removing p from TTSAnnounce)
Edited the original post with more details...
Hopefully someone knows of a solution...

I'm sure you've heard of this issue before but I was unable to find a fix!
I have been using VC1.6 through strictly the device mic / speaker and it has worked great except for some reason it does not announce incoming calls.
Currently using ATT TILT with WM6
Using 520 Plantronics BT Headset
I downloaded "Bluetooth Voice Command Configuration" from XCSdM but it doesn't seem to do anything to help!
When I press the talk/end button on the Headset it enables the bluetooth static but it does not give the VC prompt.
I'd also like it to be able to announce incoming calls through the bluetooth!
Anyone?!
Well, I got the incoming calls to announce!!! Now all I need to do is find out how to get the VC1.6 and my bluetooth synced so that when I press my bluetooth headset button it activates the VC...
Please? LOL
Does your bluetooth headset support the handsfree profile? Not all headsets support the handsfree profile (even if you can use it to pick up and answer calls). I've got VC 1.6 and voice command working just fine with my Tilt and Jabra 8010.
edit: seems your plantronics does support the HFP. Did you ensure you "checked" the box for Hands Free Service when you paired it?
Yes, it's completely paired and the handsfree is checked :-\
I'm stumped. I get incoming call notifications, I get announcement reminders, etc.... but when I push the button on the headset it tries to initiate (or answer) a call.... If I hold it down, it powers off the headset. If I double click it, it calls the last person I talked to.
Maybe I just don't know how to function my headset to get it to prompt for VC?
I followed the "RandyRants" Tip to get everything working and it did activate the announcement of incoming calls, etc... just can't make commands yet.
I'm also using the BT VC Config enabled @ 30 duration.
I'm 1/2 way there!! Now I just need to cross the finish line...
Here's the link yo RandyRants that I followed: http://www.randyrants.com/2007/05/wm6_tip_voice_c.html
Any advice?
didn't really see a thread....mod's if this needs to be moved, please do so.
I've noticed a quark in the way the Bt audio gateway works on my fuze.
Does NOT matter which headset I use, but, 99% of the time, if someone
calls me, I hear the phone ring, activate the BT, they can hear me, but I
cannot hear them. If I shut the headset off, turn it back on and let it
connect, I can hear them & they can hear me. This ONLY happens on incoming
phone calls. On outgoing, everything works.
When connected, if you look at the BT icon, it shows the BT icon, with what
looks like a STEREO headset. If you click on it, it says connected to a STEREO
headset, which my JB2 or any other BT is not.
Is it possible that the fuse is using the mic, but the sound is being directed to
a non existent "stereo" headset, which would be the other ear?

Do you have MSVC set to announce incoming calls? If you do and you answer via the headset, you can't hear the caller. Disable announce incoming and it'll work just fine.
It's a known bug and we need to complain about it (and the rest, like the left/right dpad) to AT&T and HTC.
MSVC set to handle BT, announce incoming.
When I hit the button on the headset, the incoming ring/announcement stops,
the phone says it is connected, and the caller can hear me, but I cannot hear them.
I was wondering if anyone using a NON stereo BT headset, when you are connected, it says if you click on the BT icon, "stereo headset".
Just in case you missed it - you can't have MSVC announce incoming calls OR IT WILL MUTE THE CALLER.
Turn the announce off and it'll be fine until MS/HTC/ATT fix their stinking problem...
oh and don't forget to complain...
Oh, I have complained....never had that problem with the tilt.
I guess I'll go back to just having unique ringtones for everyone, so I can tell
who's calling...until MS fixing the #%@#^ problem. Thanks for the
clarification. This was driving me nuts! They could hear me, but I couldn't
hear anyone.

Hi,
in general I am very happy with my Sensation XE (latest Stock ROM) - but I have one big issue with the bluetooth headset during phone calls.
The BT headset (Plantronics Discovery 975) is paired and incoming and outgoing calls start perfectly on the headset.
The issue is:
when a notification (e.g. calender alarm, sms arriving) goes off, the sound is routed to the phone speaker and NOT returning back to the BT headset. This is quite annoying when you are driving and all of a sudden the phone call is on your phone speaker and no longer on the BT headset.
I have found no settings where I can force that during a call the sound stays on the BT headset and that e.g. notifications are broadcasted to the headset as well.
Anybody having the same issue? What/how do I need to tweak the phone to have the BT headset properly working.
Many thanks for any help!!
Partial solution found ...
Hi - after the wave of replies to my post, I spend some time again to work out / find a solution.
The solution for me is the app "Toggle Settings Pro" (costs a few bugs on the market). It seems to be the only (? - at least I had tried out a couple) profile switcher program where you can create a rule based on "Incoming Calls" / "Outgoing Calls". During a call a profile is switched on that sets the phone to Silent Mode. Works perfect, but the app has a little bug that needed a workaround.
I had created a rule that switches on the Silent Mode on trigger "Incoming Call - Is Connected". I had expected that it would switch to Silent Mode only if you accept the call (=> is connected) but unfortunately it triggers the switch already during ringing. Basically the phone did not ring any more because the Silent mode was switched on too early.
So I created another rule that gets triggered when "Incoming call - is ringing" and on pick-up of the call the silent mode is kicking in.
Sounds a bit complicated, but this is the solution of the problem for me.
I recently got a Bluetooth headset, but I would like to know if there is a tool or program that will announce the incoming caller and the sender of text messages on the bluetooth headset. At the moment, I use Call Announcer Free, which works nicely, but it says the caller/text sender on the phone speaker as well as the headset. I only want the headset, while the notification plays on the phone because I don't want my phone to blurt out my girlfriend is calling me.
Example of what I want:
Phone call
- Phone Speaker: Ringtone
- BlueTooth Headset: Ringtone + "You have incoming call from X"
Text Message
- Phone speaker: Notification
- BlueTooth headset: Notification + "You have new message".
I have also tried the app that apparently was on XDA called "Talk to Me", but that sadly crashes when I give it a shot. It was exactly what I wanted - it had "route to BT only" mode, so the voiceover would only trigger on the bluetooth headset, not the actual phone speaker itself.
I appreciate any help you can give me.
Cheers,
IcedCube.
Hello, my issue is that when i am receiving calls via bluetooth (either on the car or on my handsfree etc) the ringtone is never what i have on my android, but is the default of each device. Problem is, i am getting heart attacks every time someone is calling me when i am on my car as the default ringtone is extremely loud. Are there any options anywhere that i missed, which will enable me to change the default bluetooth ringtone when i am connected to other devices? Thanks in advance
bump!
There's no way of getting your 'chosen' ringtone that plays on your phone, to play on your bluetooth device.
Bluetooth devices that have a ring function tend to be a very basic phone, it doesn't have the features to install bespoke ringtones.
