Voice command 1.6 and Verizon XV6800 issues

I have tried for 3 days to locate a "fix" for using VC 1.6 on my verizon xv6800.

I use a PLT 150 and when i press the button to make a call Voice Speed Dial works. I read about and tried some registry edits but some edits did not "take" i tried but they did not work. I just wnat to know how to use Voice Command 1.6 to call my contacts.

Here is what i tried:

Use MS Voice Command 1.6 instead of the built-in Cyberon Voice Dialer

For those of you who would rather use MS Voice Command instead of the built-in Cyberon Voice Dialer (and who wouldn't...), try this tweak (courtesy of MobiltyToday). I've been using the XV 6800 with a Blue Parrot Truckers Bluetooth headset for about a week now, and it works great!

Installing Voice Command on Verizon XV6800

1. Cyberon's Voice Speed Dial software is embedded with the OS and not as an addon through the Extended ROM. The only way to disable it is to delete the shortcut in the \Windows\Start Menu as well as the SDDaemon.lnk file in the \Windows\Startup folder. Note: If you've already installed Voice Command - don't delete the Voice Command shortcut - just delete the SDDaemon.lnk. This points to the new software!

2. Install Microsoft Voice Command normally. You may be prompted with an erroneous error message saying it's going to install in Main which is fine. Just continue with the installation. Note: this didn't happen with me.

3. The installation will reassign the Messaging button to Voice Command, but you probably want to give that back to the Messaging or other favorite applet. Reassign the Voice Speed Dial button to launch Voice Command. Note: The XV 6800 doesn't have this button - Voice Command goes to the email button in the upper left - you can leave it there or change it with the buttons settings.

4. Lastly, you must modify this registry entry in order to use your Bluetooth headset with Voice Command:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\VoiceCommand\

Path = "\Program Files\Voice Command\VoiceCmd.exe"NOTE: Create the entry if it does not exist.

Clearing out the traces of Voice Speed Dial

1. In these registry locations:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Microsoft \ Shell \ Extensions \ ContextMenus \ Contacts \ Main_ContextMenu

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Microsoft \ Shell \ Extensions \ ContextMenus \ Contacts \ Main_Tools

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Microsoft \ Shell \ Extensions \ ContextMenus \ Contacts \ Summary_ToolsRemove this key entirely: {2C0E9904-F32D-4f53-875F-479F5CA81E18}

2. In this registry location:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanelRemove this key entirely: VoiceTagCPL

3. In this registry location:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\VoiceCommandChange this value:

Path="\Program Files\Voice Command\VoiceCmd.exe"

(It probably points to SDDialer.exe now.)

4. In this folder: \Windows\Startup Remove this file: SDDaemon.lnk (you should have already done this if you followed the instructions above.

5. Reassign the Voice button in Buttons applet under Settings to Voice Command.

Now, soft-reset your device and that should do it. Cyberon's Voice Speed Dial is out of the picture. That is, until you hard reset, then it all comes back.

Can someone help? Thanks!
