Does anyone know if you can activate voice dialing over bluetooth? I know that there were several hacks that were necessary to get it to work over my 8525.
Thanks!
Yes you can. It's called Voice Commander. It should be on by default. You can say stuff like "call john smith" or "dial 123-4567" pretty cool.
Voice Command with Bluetooth Headset??
I have an old bluetooth headset, but it doesn't seem to work with Voice Command. Does anyone have one working?
Yes, i have used vc with 3 different headsets. One moto, one jawboneII, one plantronics, and one stereo sony brt50 with a2dp. All worked well when pressing the command button on the hs. I've noticed it doesn't work quite well using phone for the command or to answer when cal comes in. The audio drops or doesn't connect.
Hmm, I have an old Moto H505 from work and not only do I not seem to be able to initiate a voice command using the headset, if I do initiate one using the phone I do not hear the response in the headset.
Thanks for letting me know that it is possible....
I had some issues with the stock VC on the ATT ROM. With ROMeOS though it doesn't come with VC (or at least not that I could find) so I added the latest PPC VC (1.6.19214) and it seems to work just fine now (including announcing calls via BT).
I thought that VC in general did not work with bluetooths. This is a limitation of VC not the phone or the bluetooth. On my old mogul, you could get it to initiate the command but not hear your response or confirmation.
Works fine for me with a Jabra BT-135 headset -- giving commands, getting feedback, and answering phone calls all work as expected. The only thing that doesn't work is announcing the name of the caller for incoming calls; all I get is a ring for that. (I have the stock AT&T ROM.)
pre-record for voice dialing?!

That's OK, but what I really want is to record names for each PHONE# foreach contact, like "call Scott CELL" or "call Scott HOME" or "call Josh OFFICE" like I used to do with my HTC MDA w/ WinMo5. Can I do this? I've been searching the phone and forums and this site's postings too... any help?
If you can load the program - it is in the WM 6.0 ROM - it will work with bluetooth devices.

There's no need to do that with voice command. As long as your contacts are stored properly (i.e., a contact's mobile number is stored as mobile, their home number is stored as home, etc) you can just say something like "Call name on mobile", or "Call name at home".
From MS on how to use it:

Thanks Syntrix, Joecd04475 for the help, appreciate it. Not real excited about saying, "Call.. Doe, John... at... Mobile" when I'm used to saying, "John cell", but looks like that's what we got w/ WM6

Well, you can get rid of the "...", at least -- Voice Command, in my experience, seems to be pretty good at deciphering connected speech. And there's no need to invert the names, either (I don't even know if it would work that way). In any event, it doesn't seem a great hardship to say, in a normal speaking cadence, "Call John Doe at work."
You might want to have a look at the German ROM version as there is Cyberon Voice Command included which exactly does what you want. You can record voice commands for each phone number, program, ... on your own. I still think MS Voice Command is more preferable as you do not have the hassle to record voice commands for every contact and so on on your own.

Call John Cell isn't any different then Call John on mobile.
MSVC also allows you to control other aspects of your phone in addition to calling contacts.
Play Metallica
Play Iron Maiden
What time is it?
What is my signal strength?
Ringer vibrate
Ringer off
Ringer high
and a ton more things you can speak also.

Well, on my MS VC the ringer stuff does not work properly with the TP. And controlling the audio player is kinda funny as you have to pronounce the artist's, album's and song's names in a German way So Iron Maiden would have to be pronounced "Eeron My den"

Yes, this is a perfect example of the corporate 'give you *more* of what you don't want' that is difficult to avoid when you're innovative over customer-driven.
Voice Command looks like a very nice feature that will do a lot for me, especially the music options you listed (though I assume that requires I 'play nice' by using playlists, import music through Media Player). It's a large feature that I may become an expert in someday, but a busy week into using my new phone, I just want to dial my most used numbers while driving, and Voice Command simply does not recognise my commands 90% of the time. I have a pretty plain-jane American accent, but VC simply doesn't know what I'm saying.

That's strange; I have been really impressed,with 100% accuracy over the dozen or so times I've used it to call people and dial numbers since I got my Fuze. What is your setup? Are you using it over a Bluetooth headset or via the built-in microphone? (Not sure if that makes a difference, as I've not had any problems either way, but it might be something to try with your phone.) If using the built-in microphone, how far away are you holding the phone when you speak? Is Automatic Gain Control off? (The help file, I think it was, recommended not using AGC.)
Sweet. I had AGC on. I'll switch it off and try out on the drive home.
I'm using a wired headset w/ inline mic, usually great sound quality on the other end (others listening to me) so I figured it should've worked fine. Come to think of it, back when I still used a HTC Wizard, I had AGC off too. Shoot, just realized, maybe the inline mic on my earbud is disabled, maybe I need to hold the phone up to my mouth?
Got so angry trying to get it to recognize me on the drive home, almost threw it out the window. "No, you stupd #%$& I said 'CALL! HOME! AT! HOME!' "
Also, I'm frustrated that my old Wizard 3.5mm headset jack (which played sounds in both ears: double mono for phone calls)---when I use it w/ my Fuze (with USB converter brick) it only plays phone calls AND MUSIC in 1 ear: very vexxing.

Not sure if this was already posted, but no more relying on SMS for syncing!!!
Until I can see confirmation that this is effective and is not going to drain my battery, I'm staying put with the workaround which works great and works in seconds.
I have not used Google Voice a ton, but the new version seems to be tons slower at notifications. Today they took about about an hour to come.
Hell yeah! :d:d:d
anyone notice that when you call out use GV, it still displays your regular cell phone number rather than your GV number to the person you call. is there a way to fix this?

Running on a 1.5 ROM (TTG), the notifications in the new version do in fact work properly, and instantly. Woohoo, finally! In fact, while I was cleaning up old 'unread' messages via my PC, my phone was going 'ding' every time I deleted one and the 'new message' notification count changed.

When you are activating the feature on Google, as per instructions here at https://www.google.com/voice/sprint I believe they actually show you the code, *28XXXXXXXXXX, to punch in. Looking around now, I had to search a bit to find it, as I couldn't remember from doing it myself. Anyways, that is it, *28[Your GV Number], and then *38 if you ever want to turn it off.
I was using the SMS workaround. Just disabled SMS to my phone and left a test message.
I received notification on my phone within a minute.
Now, does it drain the battery? I wouldn't think it would as it is push and not a pull.
Oh, and the LED works.

*28 and *38 don't work for me, but the following do:
Call Forwarding - Unconditional = *72(number), *720 to turn off
Call Forwarding - No Answer = *73(number), *730 to turn off
Call Forwarding - Busy = *74(number), *740 to turn off

Fair enough. All the same, *28 is the official code for covering both conditions that normally required *73 and *74. It worked fine for me, and is well documented. Not sure why it wouldn't work for others, but I am no telco expert.
Also, for anyone who was wondering, yes they still charge for *72 (unconditional).

*28 also works for call forward - busy? For those using *28, how does this work/get along with call waiting?

First question: Yes, it does. I dug around a bit for come clarification and found this.
See comment from that article:
One is for CFB, the other for CFNA. *28 does both CFB and CFNA in one shot.

Second question: Not sure how *28 has affected call waiting specifically, but I can tell you that I hate trying to answer a second call in general since I started using GV. It's been a while since I bothered to try, in fact. I remember a few times pressing 'Answer' only to then have a GV voice prompt ask if I wanted to answer the second call or 'add it' to the existing call, and by the time it asks, the 2nd caller is gone and I am lucky to get back to the first. I got frustrated and stopped answering second incoming calls as there is rarely anyone I want to talk to that badly (including clients).
I doubt that my call waiting rant is helpful, but I had to get it off my chest. Whew!

Thanks for the info. I use call waiting a good bit. I often put my kids on hold when a business call comes in, so I'll stick with *73, but just for grins I'm gonna call Sprint and complain that my *28 isn't working.
Does anyone know if it is possible to have two different voicemail messages based on the number the other person dials? I know I can set up different messages for different groups, but I want one message for people who dial my cell # and one message for people who dial my GV#.
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

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

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.

Has anyone found a voice dialing app for the X10? The stock one won't recognize anything I say, I've tried every name and every number in my phone book at various speaking speeds, my blackberry's worked fine so I know it's not my voice. I just changed to Nordic 2.1 if that matters.
Vlingo works for me. Free app in the market. I wouldn't use it to send emails but works well for voice dialing and short text messages. Although I have heard murmurs that it's a 30 day trial, it's not indicated anywhere in the app itself. It used to be a paid app anyways and is now free. Car mode is actually quite good. Works best with either the mic or bluetooth.
Does not work for me... I think it hates my voice. I was so hyped to try it out when I got 2.1 but man.
It picks up normal things like "Call home" but un-regular non-white-american names don't work at all.
vlingo seems to be working for me, it even recognized the command to send my mom a 4 line text, no errors.

Ok so I know I know I shouldn't have done it, but it's too late for that now, so please don't say don't I shouldn't have done this.
Someone took over my cell number with Google Voice and is texting and calling people about items on Craigslist. Then the poor people call me thinking I'm interested in their items. Arggg for both of us!!!
Ok so her's how it started:
I get a text from someone interested in buying my item
I text back and forth with them
They say, "I'll call you to set-up a pick-up time/location, when I call just press 01 and it will connect us"
I get a call and it's google voice, I press 01 and then it asks me to set-up my voicemail
Now I am getting calls from random people about their stuff they want to sell me...Arg!!
Went to google.com/voice and thought let me set-up an account before they get a hold of my number completely, but it was too late. I get the error "Account Creation" "There was an error with your request. Please try again"
I've never used Google Voice before today.
Tried it about a million times on, Android, FF, IE, and Chrome with the same result.
Anyone have a solution for this?
Thanks
How did they "take over" your number?
What carrier are you on?
You have never set up Google voice prior to this happening?
I am curious as I use Google voice entirely now despite Sprints vvm. I like the features and abilities I get with it.

are you sure that someone isnt just emailing your number to people?
I'm on t-mobile.
They didn't take over my number completely, I'm getting calls and texts from people I know too, but also calls from people who say I called them about their items.
No I never had Google voice before.
Swyped from my P509 on Tmobile.
With Swype and Flash, why would anyone choose the iPhone?
Perhaps they setup google voice account based on your phone number. But since it is your phone number that is linked to this google voice account, you maybe able to gain control of it.
First try to find out the phone number that people are dialing when they call you. I don't meant the people you know, I am talking about the people who call you randomly and tell you that you called them about some craigslist add. This will be the google voice number that is linked to your cell number.
Now if you call this number, the system might recognize you as owner and let you access the account from your cell phone, listen to voicemails and change greetings.
You might need to setup a google voice account for yourself using your home phone number for example and try to reclaim your cell number.
Well it's been about a week with no more calls to my phone from people I don't know about stuff I'm not selling...I hope it resolved itself.
