Can anyone post up the Vlingo Car Beta? It's currently only for Sprint. Looks sweet, though!
Vlingo is in the Market, but it doesn't support Bluetooth on Android yet.
Not the vlingo app but the vlingo car app. Was just releast for sprint users yesterday
If anybody has the app please drop it here...

You can get it in this thread. I've confirmed that its work on the Incredible. It has some pretty nice features.
It can turn on automatically on BT connect.
While in car mode you can say "Hey Vlingo" to wake up the voice action prompt.
SafeReader turns on automatically and will read your text messages.

Everything works well except the bluetooth connection. Starts up okay automatically when bluetooth is connected, but won't communicate via my Jawbone II. And when I turn off the bluetooth headset, it re-boots the phone!
It's still in beta, but when this app gets up to speed, it should be pretty awesome.
Played with this yesterday - I love it - very slick and a great way to wow and impress your friends.
Only problem I noticed is once you start to navigate - you're out of the Vlingo app and shouting Hey Vlingo! at your phone will not get it to answer
The reading of incoming text messages is pretty sweet too - and it's voice recognition seems to work quite well even with the windows open and the radio on.
I absolutely agree. This will be awesome once it smooths out. I tested it a bit today and it mostly worked but there was a little random funkiness while using BT. It worked fine with my Blueant speakerphone and headset but there was a reboot in there somewhere.
This is the only thing WM did better than Android. Nothing has even come close to MS Voice Command until now. This has the potential to be even better since it keeps the gateway open. VC was press a button on the BT and speak and you just ask for this to kick in. Recognition is miles better than native android Voice and the speech is actually audible.

Heyhey,
Although there are a few threads on this which I have googled my way through, none of them seemed relevant, or looked way out of date.
I have Microsoft Voice Command installed, and it used to work just fine. Now however, I press the button on my bluetooth helmet, or my bluetooth car kit... nothing happens. A long press results in redialing the last person I called.
Voice command does work if I press and hold the button on the phone itself, but this isn't very practical (if at all possible) on my bike.
Was just wondering if there is a way to make it work again? Perhaps there is a way to remap a long press on the bluetooth device to activate MSVC?
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks a lot,
Chris
its short press for me. really short press. if i press for about a second on my headset it redials last number, if i press it for less its voice command.
Thanks for the reply =]
Unfortunatly it's a no go for me with that one. But was worth a shot!
It really depends on the headset. I've heard of people having problems before, and they usually are due to assigning Voice Command to something other than long-press of the Send key.
Try placing Voice Command back in its 'original' place and press your headset again.
Thanks all for the replies.
It now works with my handsfree in my car (I reflashed with a different ROM, and it seems to get on better).
The bluetooth helmet still doesn't accept voice commands, but I'm starting to think it's a limitation of the helmet, rather than something wrong with my phone.
Thanks anyway.

What Brand/Make of helmet do you own? I was looking at a bluetooth enable helmet, but if it isn't compatible with voice dialing, I'll probably look elsewhere.
Thanks.
Hiya,
Its the Viper RS V121 Blue 2 helmet. You can intercom via bluetooth if the pillion also has the same helmet which is pretty cool - although it is not a quiet helmet for anything above 50mph!
Still cant make it work through voice by using the button on the helmet though.
I am looking for a simple way to recieve and send sms, even make calls, from my tablet. A car can do this through bluetooth. The contacts are already on the tablet and both devices (tablet/phone) have bluetooth. I am surprised there is not a preinstalled app for this use (MyCloud). Looking around I only found less than ideal solutions using dropbox, a server or the browser.
This would seem to be a simple problem to solve, considering the multitude of handsfree devices that can "control" your phone. I have had a Desire for the past year, rooted and S-OFF, and I like tinkering with it. But I have no idea how to write an app.
Any ideas?
what about voice search? calls emails navigate web browsing text
If you want to use your tablet to handle texting, so far the only app I can think of is LazyDroid Web Desktop. You can use it to remotely manage contacts and SMS on your phone, though the web ui is a little buggy and clearly not optimized for browsing from an Android tablet. But it does work.
With that sorted out, I just have one question for you:
Why in the world would you ever need to use your tablet as a remote to initiate voice calls on your phone? The tablet is already pretty poor on mic and speaker volume. You wouldn't be able to walk away from the tablet whilst keeping the conversation going unless you hold the tablet to your ear, or use a Bluetooth headset. And if you have a Bluetooth headset, you don't need the tablet to dial a number hands free. Cars have hands free units for operating cell phones because in many regions it's illegal to have a cell phone in your hand while driving. Likewise, if you were caught fiddling with your tablet while driving and an officer thinks it's distracting you, you can be ticketed for that as well.
Use a proper Bluetooth headset for handling voice calls.
I can see a use for it : if my phone is charging in the kitchen but I'm in my couch in the living room, it would be convenient not to rush to the phone to try to get that call...
Believe it or not, in my case, the phone always seems to ring whenever it's charging a few feet away from where I am. On the other hand, I pretty much always have my tablet close to me when I'm home.
Sync SMS, Google voice. I have used both for texting. GrooveIP for calls.

I've read some horrible reviews about delay for GrooveIP, what has your experience been like with it ?
I have a need for this.
I work out of my car all day. I have my phone paired with the Uconnect radio for making and recieving calls. I also have my TF on a laptop stand. I use it to close calls at client sites as well as a GPS. Since I have a 3g card and a zoom router, everything can sync via wireless and leave the blutooth for the radio.
I would love the ability to have my TF display contact info when then phone rings and let me press a big button to answer the phone. (sound coming from the radio still)
Or to just reach and press a big button on the TF to dial a contact.
Or to have the TF display incoming sms in a large, easy to read font.
Or to hammer out a quick sms on the TF keyboard instead of reaching for the phone.
Better yet put these features in carhome (and make it tablet aware!).
THATS what I would pay for!

I am using AOPK 4.12 and when trying to initate voice commands via my Bluetooth device I am having some trouble. Voice Dialer pops up when I push the talk button on my Bluetooth headset, but it doesn't pick up my voice at all. I have tried Cyberon Voice Command app, and another bluetooth headset. Am I missing something, doing something wrong? I've been trying to fix this for days and figured it was finally time to ask for assistance.
Thanks for any ideas or info you can give me =).

unfortunately with jellybean, voice commands no longer use the Bluetooth microphone. Instead, only the phone's mic will pick up your voice, even when connected to a Bluetooth device (headset, car, etc.)
I really wish this wasn't the case as I just got a Bluetooth mic for my car and its now useless.. There's no fix at the moment
I just recently bought a new camry and one of the things I noticed was that malluuba would never get to the sound wave after I hit the mic while connected to my car. By going into the Bluetooth settings and un checking media audio, it will begin working for me. If you are just using the Bluetooth mic to make calls and such, just do that as a temporary work around.

Are there any 4.2.2 ROMs out there? I read somewhere this issue might be fixed then.
I have a bluetooth headset and am running mastamoon's unofficial CM10.1 ROM. It is still sometimes wiggy, although it works better than official CM10.1. I am able to speak commands to google search after hitting the microphone icon on the phone. Is there a way to do this without having to press a button on the phone? An app maybe? I haven't had the bluetooth headset for very long.
Hi,
I've got an interesting problem and was hoping someone here knows the solution.
I'm running CleanRom 5.6 on my Galaxy S3 I use the built in Android swyping keyboard, and it in turn uses Google Voice recognition. I like it because it shows what it is typing as I say it, versus Swype's delayed typing of voice recognized text.
Here is the problem. If my Jawbone bluetooth headset is set to media audio, then the Google Voice red button never turns red, and I can't use it. If I a) turn Bluetooth off then it works, or B) if I turn off media audio to Bluetooth while leaving call audio enabled, then the voice recognition works.
But all of this is a pain in the ass, and I'd really like to be able to use the Google voice recognition with Bluetooth and media audio left on.
So far the only kluge fix I have found is to hit the volume up or down key on the phone, which for some reason, instantly activates the magic red button. This is better than what some people suggest, turning on the Touch Sounds (which makes an annoying noise every time you touch the screen.)
Has anyone figured out a workaround for this problem? Please don't tell me to turn media audio off, as I use it a lot to listen to podcasts. Maybe there's a hacked version of the android keyboard that I could use. Or perhaps it is something in CleanRom, although I doubt it.
Believe it or not, I do a lot of writing on my phone and would really like to fix this problem. Thanks for your help.

Thank you for starting this thread, hopefully someone figures it out and responds, but your question has already been helpful to me:victory: I only use voice typing when I am in the car, with the phone connected to the bluetooth radio for media only, so I didnt even realize it only occurred in that situation, plus I intend to try your volume trick as well.:fingers-crossed: Previously, I had to start-cancel-start-cancel-start until it would work. Not exactly hands-free.
I also run Clean Rom, specifically CleanRom 6.0 R2. I also had it on my previous version of CleanRom, so it might be worthwhile to try a different rom flavor entirely, and see if the problem is still there. If anyone has this problem that is not on CleanRom, speak up!

Yup, I have the same issue. Plantronics BT earpiece with Media and Voice. Cleanrom 5.6 R2.
Volume rocker switch trick works, but, that really isn't a good alternative for car operation.

Thanks for that link....will try it with my in car bluetooth since I had this same problem with Waze hearing me when trying to voice a report. Sometimes it worked but mostly it failed.
Update: Works!
same problem here! You MUST HAVE THE TOUCH SOUNDS ON IN YOUR SOUND SETTINGS> UGHHHH
It works after that, Dumb.
Hey,
I am having trouble with my Pioneer CD-BTB200 Bluetooth Adapter, which is a common problem, according to the very few available threads on the internet.
This also didn't work with any other Smartphone before i.e. Samsung S3 or Blackberry Bold 9700.
Cliffnotes:
-pairing, media streaming (different source) and receiving and making calls works great! No issues there
-transfering the contact list results in a big mess, I have to dig in there if I can figure it out or if I just transfer one contact after another....
-now for the problem.......I installed Cyberon Voice Commander because it gives me the best behaviour and voice recognition since I am a native German speaker. Google, Dragon and AIVC don't work really well. But it doesn't matter which voice assist app I use, because it is the Bluetooth adapters fault. The Nexus 5 is rooted and runs stock Kernel with KitKat 4.4.2.
When I press the voice dial button on my Pioneer AVH-P5000DVD deck it activates the Cyberon Voice Commander app (or whichever is set as default). so far so good, that is what I want.
But! the dialog between me and the phone is almost impossible because the output volume over the car speakers is way to low. I have to literally pick up the phone and look at it's display to see what the voice commanding app is doing because you have to wait until it is finished asking what I want to do. (just holding a phone is illegal in Germany)
Assuming the app understood me right and starts dialing everything turns to be fine from that point because the volume of the actual call is perfect!
When the phone talks back to me I have to crank the volume all the way up to understand it a little bit and then turn it back down fast before the phone call starts or it'll blow the speakers out....since my car is quite loud when on temperature I don't think I will understand anything when I am driving.
I heard that the app TASKER could be programmed to raise the Bluetooth volume at a certain point and then lower it again. I checked but it only goes up to 15, which I already have set before with the stock volume slider. Additionally I have no idea how to configure Tasker to (maybe) get rid of the problem.
Has anyone ever heard of a similar problem and / or has an idea how to handle it?
Again, it's only the voice command prompts that are way to quiet when I start the voice dialing function via Bluetooth, everything else is fine.
Fixed the issue with SoundAbout!

Now the voice prompts play loud and clear over the car speakers! Every other volume managing app failed miserably!
I used the latest Beta Version btw, going to buy the Pro Version soon.

I did very little changes to the settings, if anyone is interested I can hook you up with some screenshots

I have this issue as well. SO what did you have to do with this app?
