Fuze Voice Command Issues - Touch Pro, Fuze General

I just bought a new ATT Fuze on 12/22/08 and I am having an issue with Voice Command.
I have many contacts that have only one phone number. Example John Doe and only have his mobile phone number entered. If I say “Call John Doe” it will not dial. If I add another phone number in the Home field, Voice Command will now work and will ask whether I want mobile or home. Also, even with two phone numbers entered, Voice Command will not work if I say “Call John Doe Mobile”. I have to stop short and let VC ask me if I want mobile or home. Then it will work.
Question, why won’t Voice Command work with contact entries with just one phone number entered. Is there something I can do to make it work?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Voice Dialling

Hi guys
After a hard reset i lost my software "Voice Dialling"
Does anybody knows how to recover/get the software back in my phone??
Pleas help
Irek
Which one Voice Dialling? VITO ???? did u backup your PPC-alldata? if yes ? you can lost only your voice-tag data ? before HR backup your voice tag to STcard
I do not know the name of the program, I did not back it up. It came pre-installed in the device.
I only know when I push the button on the side of the phone the female voice was asking me to say the number I want to dial. And then she would ask is it correct?
That software is now gone and I cant make a voice dialling calls anymore.
Is there any passible way that you could send me this program;
or are the any other way/place where i can get it?
Thank you, Irek

Voice Commander 1.6 and WM6

Hey Guys, I'd really appreciate if someone can help me out with this situation.
I had wm5 and voice command, used Hidesim cab to hide contacts on sim and when i used voice command it didn't showed any contacts from SIM before. Now i installed Crossbow Reloaded 1.7 and i use HideSIm.cab and using voice command it says that it found two contacts. example. Call Bob on voice command says two phone #s found call this bob if you say no it reads it off sim. In WM5 it never use to read contacts of sim. So if someone can tell me a way so voice commander don't read contacts of SIM it would be great. My Contacts only shows Contacts from Phone not SIM.
Guess all hate voice command by microsoft. eh...

So what are my options where I do not have to record for each contact?
backup your sim on to your computer and then erase it off your sim-card.

I just tried to duplicate this and got the following...
When I said, "Call Joe Smith" and that person is on both sim card and contacts it will say, "Showing two (or more) found, call this Joe Smith?"
If I said no, it then put me into contacts and asked, "call Joe Smith at home or mobile?" So this is not a impossible situation but definitely a pain in the ass.
However, you are right, this is definitely something weird with WM6. I just never noticed it before. I actually occasionally switch phones so deleting #;s off the SIM really isn't an option for me.
Let's see what the real geniuses can figure out.

I am having this same problem on AT&T Tilt. SIM contacts are hidden, don't show in Contacts, but when I say "Call xxx", Voice Command says "Showing 2 Found" (says it so quickly that it took me dozens of listens to figure out what was being said - sounded like "Shelly2Fawn" or some other language when I first heard it.
I know I can delete all contacts on SIM and this issue will go away, but I'd like to have contacts on SIM, because I have a cheap backup phone that I want to be able to use PRN, e.g. go to beach, or in adverse weather situation.

Dialing "p" for wait

Hi,
in the old (and current I believe as well) Nokia phone - and most other pure mobile phones for that matter - you can dial a "p", typically by holding down the "*" for a while. The "p" makes the phone wait a little while before continuing to dial the rest of the number.
I need this feature!!!
I am using some prepaid phone cards for which this feature is really necessary.
So, anyone have a clue how to get a similar functionality on WM5? The "p" certainly does not work ...
Thanks in advance - Andy
if you're dialing live, you can dial only the connection number then open the keypad to dial the rest of the keycode manually. If you want to automate it, create a contact with the full number and you can enter in "p" there.
I have a contact for my voicemail which dials the voicemail and waits and the pin + #. this works great with voicecommand cause all I have to do is say "call voicemail" and it'll dial, enter in the password automatically and I don't have to touch the phone at all...
Interesting ... I did migrate all my number from my previous phone, where i had the "p" included in the number. The numbers also seemingly came up correctly on the PPC phone. However, when I tried to dial the number, it would not take the complete number with the "p" - I cannot remember exactly what it did, but it did not dial the whole thing. Thats why I thought/ hoped that there is another way. I guess, after what you are saying, I should give it another try ...
And yes, the application that you are describing is very similar to what I want to use. There is a prepaid international call provider, which has a local dial-in number and lets me call abroad for very little money. I call the local number - the service provider recognizes my account by the incoming phone number of my mobile - and then I dial the destination number. For the recognising part however, it is needed that the phone waits a little before it continues to dial the destination number.
Alright, alright .... works! Thx for the assurance! Tried it again and it just takes a lot longer - the pause is longer - than it used to be on my Nokia. Also, I do not hear the dialing tones after the "p" anymore, which probably put me off before.
Thanks! Thread closed
Try replacing the "p" with a "," . It will pause for a few seconds once the other side picks up the phone.

Voice Command???

AT&Ts website says that it supports voice dialing. The Samsung Galaxy S website says that there should be a Voice Command app. Where is it? I don't see it anywhere! I paried up my bluetooth headset and when I push the button (which on my last phone would activate Voice Dial) nothing happens.
Anyone??
Voice dialing via bluetooth on Android 2.1 doesn't work.
Android 2.2 fixes it (Nexus One FTW!), who knows when Captivate will get the update.
Tap and hold the Search button to activate voice search.
There should be an app called Voice Dialing. Use that to voice dial.

I beg to differ, I just figured this out. You can say "call -contact name-" and it dials the number.

Don't know what magic you're doing, but when I do that it just does a google search for "call [contact name]"
My Captivate does the same thing, I have tried to voice dial and all it does is google search. Everyone keeps saying there is an app but there isn't. It is pissing me off, I downloaded apps and none of them work. This really really bites.
I will be watching this thread anxiously.
But I may be making progress! I have purchased VLingo, and it looks like it may end up working like Microsoft Voice Command.
I just did a "Call <First/Last Name> on Mobile, and it dialed".
I'll post back as I progress. This is exactly what I"m looking for.

I'm not sure either then. I simply hold the search button at the bottom-right of the phone, it prompts for voice, then i simply say "call XXXXXXX" and it dials. I do have to say the entire contact name, though, both first and last name, exactly how it appears in the list. But it works
I just tried it and it worked for me too. FAST.
What is missing is a validation step, like MS Voice command offers. It will never understand you correctly all the time.
No Voice Dial for Me Too!
I don't seem to have the ability to voice dial either.
Speaking a contact's name into the Google utility only pulls up a Google search.
I would be interested to know if the people that are having similar problems have their phones rooted or not.
I am rooted.
I am rooted, as of this morning, and it was just an hour or so when I realized I could do it with Google search and didn't need Vlingo

When I use voice dial I have to say contact name and either mobile or home or work to get it to work right.
How is Voice Dial Activated?
How, exactly, are successful users activating Voice Dial?
Is it just by pressing the microphone button on the Google search bar on the home screen? Or is there supposed to be a dedicated "Voice Dial" app?
Also, where are the settings located to configure voice dial?
I was able to get it work. I use the google search widget and click the microphone then speak. BUT, it only finds contacts that are from Google. If I try to call any of my Exchange contacts it does a google lookup, but if it is a contact from google sync (gmail/voice) it works fine.
I can't get mine to work. Been trying it for the past two days.
The google search voice command isn't voice dialing for me. I have no idea what is going on. HELP ME lol
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I can't wait for a custom ROM to fix all the problems including this.
We've Been Scammed!!!
AT&T has scammed us!
I chatted online today with ATT support and the person said that I would have to pay monthly for their voice dial service. After telling her, politely, where to stick her voice dial service, she suggested that I contact Samsung.
After 45 mins, and two support people later, it was finally explained to me that the Captivate is the only version of the Galaxy S that does NOT come equipped with the Voice Command software and that I would have to purchase a third party app from the Market in order to get that capability.
So what it looks like to me is that ATT had the voice command function removed on the Captivate so they could push their own voice dial plan for $4.99 per month.
BASTERDS!!!
I can't wait for the ROMs to start rolling out so I can exact my revenge!

you have to say the full name thats in the address book for it to immediately dial as well. if you dont it shows the "did you mean" box and you can choose from there.
I installed Vlingo from Marketplace. Works like a charm. The programs from Marketplace are all pretty cheap compared to WindowsMobile.
My voice dial works. however I have to enunciate very clearly and quickly.
"call Contact Name" brings me to the Contact's page to select which number to dial.
"call Contact Name mobile" dials immediately.
There is even a confirmation feature for my phone where it gives a pop up with my Contact's picture with a ring slowly rotating around it with an option to "dial" or "cancel" doing nothing until the ring completes it's 360 degree rotation will default to dialing, pressing dial will dial immediately, and cancel will cancel the command.

Question Three Problems Setting Up My Voicemail

I'm trying to set up my voicemail and although I was successful, I did run into a few problems.
1st problem: I tested my voicemail by calling my cellphone from a landline. I was able to leave a message and I was able to hear the message when I checked my voicemail. After listening to my message, I tap the star key and then I get a message on my P7P that says "Visual voicemail isn't working" and that I should "Call voicemail to finish setting it up". What is "visual voicemail?
Furthermore the P7P states, "Saved voicemails (0)---->" even though I did save my message. If I tap the ">" that's to the right of the "Saved voicemails..." I get a "Saved Voicemails" screen that says "You don't have any voicemail messages yet." I don't know why these messages are appearing. What should I do?
2nd problem: When I'm asked to enter my password I press the Keyboard symbol but I can't see the full number pad without fiddling around with it. It does eventually appear. How do I get rid of whatever keeps blocking the full number pad?
3rd problem: How do I get rid of the little dot indication that's at 1 o'clock on my phone app icon?

Voice mail is carrier-related, not device-related. So the first question is, who is your carrier?
Second, I find it hard to believe there are people who don't know what Visual Voicemail is. That is an app that is set up through your carrier that transcribes your voice mails into text and is accessible in your dialer or the VM app itself so you don't have to call your VM, you read and manage it through the app
Here's what I do for easy access to voicemail...been doing it for years.
I create a new contact and name it AaaaVoicemail. All the A's make sure it stays at the top of the alphabetical list.
Then for the phone number I use the default voicemail number supplied by your carrier followed by TWO commas and the 4 digit passcode with NO SPACES and ending with the #.
Here is a generic non-functional example of what it looks like: 18056377356,,9999#
The commas are for a short delay between the phone number and the passcode.
One comma may be enough but I find that 2 commas works best.
Then all you have to do is call this "new" contact and it inputs your passcode for you automatically.
Or you can just bring up the phone dialer and hold the 1.
PS. If you are managing your cellphone voicemail from a landline or another phone. Michael Jordan will tell you, "Stop it, Get some help"
@jaseman-
When I tried to edit my voicemail number I ran into more problems. Here's what I did:
I tapped my voicemail number and on the resulting screen I tapped the Edit icon at the top right of the screen. That brought up the contact info edit screen with the voicemail number.
I tapped the number. The cursor appeared at the end of it and the keypad appeared below it. But there was no comma on the keypad that I could tap, so I couldn't add the commas and my password (which, by the way, has to be 7 digits on my P7P).
How do I then add the 2 commas if they're not on the keypad???

My carrier is Consumer Cellular.
I thought Visual Voicemail was what one used if one wanted to send a live, moving message. I didn't think that "visual" meant the voicemail would be translated into text, since the P7P has a voice-to-text option already installed.

Without editing the actual voicemail number, just follow the guys instructions - [note down or copy the original voicemail number] create a new contact and use the name 'AaVoicemail' (Aa so that the number is always at the top of your contacts list). Then enter the voicemail number followed by 2 commas and your pin/password. If you still don't have the comma option, try using Truephone Dialer and Contacts... See screenshot, it has comma option. OR, using the full keyboard in any text environment (so that commas are available) type out the number, commas and pin as you want it, then select and copy that text. Then create the new contact as described by previous guy or above and when it comes to entering the number just paste in the text you copied.
Don't think there's any other way to explain in more plain terms with every step...

I would argue the complete opposite. 4 providers in total offer it here in the UK, 3 MNOs and 1 MVNO. That's it.

Sure, a lot of it depends on your locality and carrier.
But, it's been around going on 20+ years now, and it is (or was, I suppose) a VERY highly requested feature, for quite some time. Many carriers in the US, or perhaps a couple, wouldn't provide the service, not for a techncal reason, but mostly because you weren't buying a phone from them.
I suspect the same is the case in the UK, to some extent?
