MSVC does not activate handsfree BT mic - General Questions and Answers

Hey guys
I recently bought a Chatterbox XBi2 bluetooth headset that supports A2DP and Handsfree, and using MSVC the mic is activated on the phone, not the headset.
I am able to play music through it, and I can answer calls in the default configuration.
The default behaviour for the main button is to run redial.exe, and none of the remap posts I tried (reg keys/dll's/etc) worked, so I just copied voicecommand.exe over redial.exe, and this does work as it should. (MSVC voice launches and comes over the headset).
The problem is, the mic that is activated is the mic on the phone, not on the headset.
This is driving me nuts, as this headset is completely useless to me without MSVC.
Can anyone help???
thanks
Cory
EDIT: I have a touch diamond

I've been searching my ass off to no avail, someone must know something to point me in the right direction.
thanks

This will install newest bt stack.
I should also ask which ROM you're using. The newer ROMs seem to be a lot better.
I'd also like anyone who could to tell me which BT stack is included on the newer ROMs, like Nitro or vjgrace.

my ROM is WM6 by vjgrace v3.4
Again I could describe my Nokia BH-101 BT headset with handsfree functionality on WM6 by vjgrace v3.5. It works nice as headset i can hera incoming calls, answer them, call last dialed number. But I CAN NOT make it start voice calling, due to device itself - it does sounds special tone that means that voice dial is started, but my phone does not recognise it. by the way useing celetask - there is special feature - that alows you to redirect all sound to headset and it work. As for me i don't need it (you are to have special BT Headset for listening to music. This headset generates rather bad sound(but not voice).
So again
I can do:
makle calls,
answer calls,
dial last dialed call.
swap and hold calls.
I can not do:
make voice dial
any voice commands
What are the problems:
Everytime I answer the call not by the headset but via the phone it looses the connection with headset, so i need to restart BT service (or headset).
It happens even if I answer by headset but during the call i need to speak via phone then i press right softkey and choose "turn handsfree off" and aain phone looses the headset
In this case I I make new call but in right soft key menu "turn handsfree on" is not active
If it's possible to make phone speak contact's name litterally during incoming call so i could know who is calling me.
IRC, voice dialling with WM phones is a bit of a problem. I seem to recall reading about this somewhere in the XDA-Dev forums.
On my headset, the function that calls for redial is the same for voice dial (wtf? I know.) It always redials.
As for the speaking of the contacts' names, it should be possible... if your phone can speak the contacts' recorded voice names w/o BT.

At&t Tilt VC 1.6 & Bluetooth

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?

Microsoft Voice Command 1.6 users - pls help!

Hi all,
I have a problem with MS Voice Command 1.6.
It 'sorta' works right now ... when I press the button on my BT headset (Motorola H700) it initiates the voice command on the Treo. However, the 'beep' is played from the treo speaker, not the BT headset. When I spoke the voice command, I must also speak to the Treo mic, not the BT headset. This sucks when you are in a noisy environment.
When the call is connected, it does go through the BT headset so that's good. But it's just when you want to initiate a voice command, you have to speak to the mic on the phone. All the announcements also come through the phone's speaker only, not the BT headset.
Has anybody found a fix to this?
Thanks in advance
Try deleting the headset and reacquiring it via bluetooth. I had to do this a couple of times before this corrected
Hmmm I've done it quite a few times already ... but I can try it again.
Mine does this too. If there is no fix, I will have to go back to the at&t one.
Removing and re-adding BT headset doesn't work. After doing some more homework, it seems like the problem is Treo 750, among a # of other phones (like Hermes) uses a BT stack that is incompatible with MS's and that is the reason why.
Searching on the Hermes site there IS actually a workaround which fixes half the problem.
To make long story short, after trying to fix recommended by that site, now I can speak to the BT headset to issue voice command.
Meaning, when I press the BT headset button, I hear the VC chime from my headset, not from the phone's speaker. And when I issue voice command I also speak to the BT headset, not the phone's mic.
What it doesn't fix, is notification STILL comes through the phone's speaker and not the BT headset, even with all the correct settings under MVC.
But I'm ok with that ... I can live with this.

bluetooth and ringtones

how do I get my ringtones to work with my bluetooth?
I could get them to work with my tp but I can't get it to work on my tp2
i have good ole sprint.
what settings in voice commands do i use?
Doesnt work
I used to use an old Cab file that allowed my ringer to work on my BT on my old TP but my TP2 does not work with this function.
This old Cab allowed me to use my mono BT ear piece to listen to music on it but the new BT on the TP2 will only work with a sterio headset and that sterio headset must allow you to use sterio while on a call with someone to hear a ringer.
I just purchased a Nokia BT headset that has a Sterio feature that works with what you are trying to do but it is up to you if you want to spend the money to attempt to work this bug out.
Hopefully someone has a cab out there that will let us use our old mono BT headsets to work with both of these functions.
so the h700 wont work except to hear the beeps with the tp2 even though the tp allowed it to play ringtones through the headset?
i thought we were advancing not falling back in technology
and I want it to just know whos calling by the ringtone. I could care less about listening to music
been testing settings and IO can listen to my ringtones and music through my h700.
but when I get a incoming call it just chirps in my ear . but if i hang up the test call i get about 2 seconds of the ringtone.
Ringtones to BT fix
Had the same problem on my Sprint HTC TP2 Stock 6.5WM ROM and fixed it with this reg edit....
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WIDCOMM\Plugin\HandsFree]
"SupportedFeatures"=dword:000005EF (1519)
My dword value was 1383, changed it to 1519, soft reset and TA-DA!

[Q] Music vs. Bluetooth calling. Calling loses!

Hi --
Anybody have this problem?
I have my phone plugged into my car stereo via the headphone jack. I've got the bluetooth headset on because I want to make a call. When I hit the button on my bluetooth, the music comes through my headset, at full volume no less, and I can't hear the voice dial prompts.
So, I'd like to overcome this problem. Does anybody have a solution, workaround or app that they're familiar with that will solve this problem? I'm losing the hearing in my right ear .
Oh, yeah, I have an Evo 4g if it matters.
Thanks!
