I installed the leaked gingerbread rom provided by Paul today and I noticed that I am not able to use voice dialing via bluetooth headset. On the stock rom pressing the answer button on the bluetooth headset results in a voice prompt in the headset and then I can say whatever name I'd like to call, the prompt would then give a confirmation and the phone would then make the call. After installing this gingerbread rom, that functionality is no longer present. Does anyone have any ides on how to get it working? And yes I have already done a wipe, and I have also tried fixing permissions. Any ideas?
As a workaround I have found that Vlingo does work bluetooth headset. But I'd still prefer to use the built in voice dialer. If anyone has any ideas, they are more than welcome.

I have a new HTC Inspire 4G / 2.2. Used a heavily-ROMed Tilt2 before, so new to Android. I find the built-in voice dialer to be a problem. Sometimes it's perfect, but other times it proposes bizar responses. That would be OK, but it does not respond to "no" and dials it anyway. So, can I replace the built-in dialer with a better one? This phone is rooted, S-OFF.
I am not sure if I understand your question.
If you are dialing by mistake you need call confirm app from market. This will solve your problem.

There are various dialer available in market like dialer one, go dialer you can give it a try.
Currently I hold down the dial button on my BT headset until the voice prompt comes up asking what I want. I can say a name or dictate a number and the voice confirms the choice. The built-in ATT voice command system does not bail out of I say "No" and some other problems. Sometimes it goes smoothly. So I'm looking for an app or some utility to flash that is a better voice dialing system.
I am having an issue with the Voice Dialer when used with a headset with inline mic. A long press of the button will activate voice dialer, but it won't move past 'Starting Up' (see image).
It seems similar to other issues people have had with the Bluetooth Dialer.
Has anyone else experienced a similar issue?
Is there an application I can replace the native Voice Dialer with that will have better functionality?
Or should I just not worry about it, and hope cm7 will fix everything
Yes, and it's for a stupid reason. LG didn't load the voice-to-text software in the ROM. You have to do it manually. Go to: Settings>Voice Input and Output>Text-to-speech settings and select "install voice data."

Voice data has already been installed. Does voice dialer work for you with a wired headset?
Maybe I need to uninstall then reinstall the voice data?
I've only used it over Bluetooth and it seems to work fine.
Interesting... Do you know how I would uninstall voice data (to reinstall it)?
Has anybody successfully used Voice Dialer with a wired headset?
I tested it with my Razer Moray and it works fine...

Do your headphones have a built in mic?

Got the same problem here. It seems to work with headset mic only when I execute the app directly from the phone. However when I long-press the actual headset button, it brings up voice dialer, but does not function as it should.
Glad someone could finally re-create the issue. I wonder what could be causing this?
Has anyone had success with voice dialing over Bluetooth? I have the Motorola Finity headset which worked great with the Motorola Atrix but it doesn't seem to work for voice dialing on the Infuse. I had the Captivate before and voice dialing didn't work until some of the later custom ROMs started to implement it, so maybe it's a Samsung thing.
From what I've heard is the same way. No BT voice dial.

it works if you install Cyberon Voice commander
there are market apps that work but many drain battery fast. it is better to have it from the manufacturer
i wish i could tell you how to set it up but i never use it so i never looked into it. many of the sgs apks will work on this so you may not need to wait that long.
voice speed dial app works great.
On Froyo, whether it be stock or Eagle's Blood, my bluetooth voice dialing works as its supposed to... I press the voice dial button, and my phone says "Speak Now", I say the name, and it tells me what name I said + "Dialing".
I can't speak for all Gingerbread builds, but on Paul's leak and CM7, I press the voice dial button, and I dont get any notification at all, nor do I get the confirmation when its dialing a name... I mean, it dials, and it calls out properly... but its annoying since I keep my phone in my pocket, and Im scared that it'll dial a wrong name without any confirmation...
Has anyone else had this experience?
Bump... Would really love some info on this...
Come on, doesn't ANYONE use bluetooth voice dialing with a handsfree device on gingerbread?
Please respond! Someone?

I am having the same problem, Did you figure this out?
I had issues with CM7 and bluetooth dialing, so I switched to EB 2.3.3, and haven't had but one issue. I had an app called Cyberon Voice Commander, and that failed to work properly on any GB ROM.
However, ChoiceDialer+ seems to be working just fine w/EB (2.3.3). Downside to CD+, is that you cannot (currently) use voice dialer and A2DP together on our phones...it will freeze up. I have to disable media connection on my phone to properly use CD+. I'm going to test out Vlingo, and see how that works out. Downside to Vlingo is, you have to use data connection.
If you're interested in trying ChoiceDialer, there is a free version available in The Market. Aside from the A2DP issue, it is a great app, and the Dev is very responsive.
I upgraded to One S from MyTouch 4G, and noticed the following issues with voice dialing:
1. I used to use the dedicated button on MT4G. On 1S, when I try to use the google search "microphone" button, it has terrible voice recognition. Vlingo works much better than stock functionality.
2. As mentioned in PC mag review, voice dialing via blue tooth is missing. The only workaround is through a third party app. As someone suggested, I installed Vlingo, and using its "in car" method, it seems to work fine.
Are there any other build in google apps/tools that may improve voice recognition/voice dialing?
What other apps do people use for voice control/voice dial?
Thanks.
Bluetooth voice dialing is not working for me either. Pressing the connect button on my BT device does not launch the BT voice recognition like it should.
This was also an issue on the Nexus One for months when it was initially released - I don't know how HTC did not recognize this problem during testing.
I wish I had an answer for you, but I just wanted to say thanks for the Vlingo suggestion, that's what I'm using for now.
You welcome. While I like One S overall, the voice control/recognition options are a step back compared to MyTouch 4G.
