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 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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133246
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

vlingo works very well on my sensation
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.

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.

Hi everyone, in an older thread here I saw that other people were not able to get their bluetooth headset to initiate a voice dial. This feature has worked fine with my old iPhone 3gs and my Plantronics Voyager Pro but when I long-press the headset button when the headset is paired with my skyrocket, nothing happens.
In the previous thread someone mentioned installing voice2go on his skyrocket and getting this voice dial to work? I googled this and all I could find was a really old windows mobile 6.0 application written by that name.
Could someone point me in the right direction for getting voice dialing initiated from bluetooth to work? Thanks!!
Go over to original At&t SG2 forum, grab the apk from one of those custom roms there or a system dump.

I've tried both the old Voice2Go apk and Cyberon Voice Commander from the market. Cyberon is much better for voice dialing from your BT. Voice2Go is reasonably accurate, but does not confirm Before dialing. Cyberon confirms prior to dialing. Me: "Call Joanne at Mobile." Cyberon: "Call Joanne at Mobile, is that correct?". Me: "yes." Cyberon: "Dialing." If you don't care whethor or not you occasionally call the wrong person, Voice2go is great. But for $5, Cyberon Voice Commander is a great app.
I find the Skyrocket to be VERY picky as to the BT headset you use. The Motorola HX550 works very well with the Skyrocket.

So if I get the Cyberon Voice Commander will I be able to initiate a voice dial from the button on my voyager pro or is this a deeper issue with an incompatibility between the stock ROM and my headset? Sorry I'm a complete noob with android I just switched from iPhone 4 days ago.

No worries. If your Voyager Pro works fine with all other functions, then I would think initiating Voice dialing from it would work fine. The Headsets I've tried didn't work worth a darn period, except for the HX550. The jawbone and the Blueant worked, but the voice confirmations were so quiet in comaparison to conversations, that they were worthless for voice dialing. (You could not hear the confirmation.)
I've not tried a plantronics. I've tried the motorola H17 and HX1, the Bluant Q2 and the Jawbone ERA. The only one I've tried that works worth a darn with the Skyrocket is the Motorola HX550. That works pretty darn well, although occasionally the Skyrocket doesn't re-connect unless I hit the headset button.
It's best to leave Cyberon Voice Commander running, don't kill it with the task manager. The first time you use it after re-boot it can take a couple of trys to get it going. Leave it running and it's fine from then on though.

Just so you know, there is no voice dialing app on the Skyrocket in the stock ROM. You have to add it yourself.
ALSO, there are two Cyberon apps, Voice commander and Voice Speed dial. Voice Speed Dial is one you train, and has no confirmation. Voice Commander does not need to be trained, and confirms before dialing. Voice Commander is worth the extra $2...
Here's the Voice2Go apk if you want it

Thanks so much Nakel this is greatly appreciated. I'm going to give the voice2go a shot first and if it doesn't work out ill buy the voice commander. Ill be sure to report back here with my findings!

OK so as was already stated in the previous thread this isn't exactly what I was looking for. AFAIK this is just the Vlingo app you can get for free in the android market.
It's a decent app I guess but you will NOT be able to initiate a voice dial from your bluetooth headset by pushing the normal buttons.
I can't believe in 2011 Samsung omitted this key feature on a 250 dollar flagship phone. Even the original Moto RAZR from 5+ years ago was able to initiate voice dialing from bluetooth headsets.
This is super inconvenient while driving (and not to mention unsafe!) to have to look down at your phone in order to look up a contact and dial their number. Hopefully this post helps someone thinking about buying the SR but needing this feature!
EDIT: Sorry I forgot to thank Nakel again for posting the attachment though. Thanks!

Ah OK my bad. I guess the skyrocket is just super picky about which BT you use? Because it looks like the guys at PCMag had the same problem I did if you look at the cons in their review of the SR at the top of the page:

Yeah, VERY picky. That's the worst thing about the Skyrocket. If I hadn't found a headset I like that worked well with Voice Commander, I would have returned the Skyrocket.

Yeah this sucks though considering I just shelled out nearly 300 bucks (including tax and upgrade fee) and now I have to spend 50+ bucks on a bt headset just to voice dial when I already have a nice one that works just fine....

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.
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.
