I have on my Thunderbolt and on my MT4G a Stock App called Voice Dialer. So when my bluetooth headset is connected I can press the call button on the headset and it will allow me to voice dial etc. It seems this app is missing on the Sensation.
I tried a couple of apps in the market but they won't work or activate from my headset like the stock app does.
Any help appreciated.
Search under themes & apps section, APK is provided;-)
Swyped from HTC Pyramid, using XDA Premium App.
Try Vlingo. It works great for me.
as stated earlier, GorillaPimp provided the apk here

Thanks for the info, I tried the APK but I get a force close everytime I try to dial a number. Has anyone else used the APK and got it to work? One other thing I noticed is when I speak it comes up with text on the screen wanting me to press OK to confirm the dial of the contact. Normally it will do any verification of command through audio in the headset.
doesn't crash on mine

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?
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 also have noticed this on all gingerbread roms i've tried. Most recently InsertCoin Desire ROM

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.
Once again HTC come up with a brilliant device but fail to put a voice dialler in to it.
Anyone know of a good workable voice dialler for the UK market? Google voice doesn't work unfortunately, have thought about Cyberon Voice Dialer but not sure if this'll work.
Any Ideas??
i believe you can just hold the search button when on the home screen and say "dial xxxxxxxxx" and it will dial out.

It doesn`t on mine. It just takes me to Google
I have a Jawbone Icon and when I hold down the talk button on my bluetooth headset, nothing happens. On my other android phones (mytouch 4g), it would start the voice dialer... Weird.
I'm running Cyberon Voice Commander and it works with bluetooth headset.

I recently ditched an iPhone for the Sensation and I used to be able to tap the button on my b/t speaker in the car to initiate voice dialling on the phone (which was terrible on the iPhone BTW). The same doesn't seem to work with the sensation (running Revolution HD 3.6.3). Is there a tweak or an app I can use to initiate voice dial via the bluetooth device?
I use choice voice dialer + free from the market.

Thanks but I'm not sure that is what I'm after. Specifically when I'm driving, I don't want to have to fire up the phone, unlock it, find a voice dial app, then speak. I want to hit the button on my bluetooth device, then speak.
I'm going to give Voice Control a go - I'll report back here

Thanks. I'm on ARHD, not CM but I'll give it a go and see if it works.
I had FC's using the Voice Dialer APK but Voice Control works reasonably well. I can now use the call button on ny Bluetooth to initiate voice dial and the program pretty accurately recognises my voice command. Only snag is that after recognising the command, it asks me to confirm the action but often doesn't recognis "confirm".

I use vlingo in car and works when I hit bluetooth and enable voice commands that way. I say "hey vlingo" and I have the program set up to respond "what's shakin?"Then at that point I can look for directions, find a business, text a contact, etc...it also reads texts as well if you prompt it to. I don't have that enabled because it reads everything! LOL
Not sure if vlingo is available overseas though.
I have found the following to get Bluetooth voice dialing woking:
Install Cyberon Voice Commander from the market. (Yes it is a paid app $5.99)
They do have a 48 hour refund policy.
The only function lacking is dialing a number digit by digit "Call 321-555-3232"
will not work, only contacts, but also can open apps, and a few other features.
Follow the instructions closely on installing and un-pairing/re-pairing your headset.
Press the voice dial button on your headset. If it does not work, and I had to do this, install Vlingo from the market(free).
Press the voice dial button on your headset, you should now get a menu on your screen as to which app to use for voice dialing, select Cyberon Voice Commander.
It should work from that point on.
EDIT: I am using a jawbone Era. You may need to login to Jawbone's Mytalk and reset the button for the voice dialing function. I have been running it now for 3 days without any problems.
For those with Jawbone ERAs don't bother . . just tried this and will now have to work with the developer to get my refund since I wen't past the 15-minute mark just trying out the various dial-apps on the Jawbone to test compatibility.
No matter what dial-apps on the Jawbone ERA itself you're using or what apps you have installed on the One X end the phone completely ignores headset button presses other than picking up incoming calls or hanging up a call. For the ERA anyway I suspect that Jawbone's own dial-apps feature is what keeps the headset from being fully compatible with this phone/ICS.
i also have the jawbone era and found the same problem. the cyberon voice commander developer was very prompt in refunding. i may try later with another headset, but am not really hopeful that voice dialing using a bluetooth headset will work seamlessly. of course my opinion is that one should be able to use it without having to touch the phone at all.
If you guys want, I have this voicetogo app from my now sold galaxy note. It works but I haven't tried with Bluetooth yet.

Cool app.
Update: Uninstalled other voice assistant apps like Cyberon and rebooted the One X. The voice command apk posted above now works for me. Not sure but when I initially installed it yesterday I didn't reboot the phone, probably should have. I don't think the application is fully compatible with the phone, it crashes sometimes but overall it does work and I'm satisfied for now until something better comes along.
