BT headset sencitivity to Voice Command

I've found over the years that the reading incoming voicemail via Voice command can often depend on the BT headset you have. I went thru several different models until I found a family that seems to work very well. At the moment I have a TMOUS Hd2 and I'm using a Motorola 710 bt headset. It works just about every time.

Previously I had a HTC TYTN II with a Motorola 700 and then the 710 and these both worked with the purchased copy of Voice command 1.6 (don't recall the release but it was pretty current via upload)

Try going to a store that carries the 710 that offers a return policy, give it a try.
[HD2 General] polera257:
Tried these suggestions no luck

MirasHD2 I tried the settings for both announcing incoming calls and unchecked only during free time.

AndyClay I have a Motorola 710 headset no good. My problem is with incoming caller ID announce. I have tired a Jabra, Motorola 710 and Jawbone Prime all with no luck. Can get them to announce messages but no caller ID through bluetooth.

Thank you both for your suggestions.
[HD2 General] starstreak:
You mean on BT "Call from 999-999-9999"? Yeah, if you find a answer let me know. Anything that initiates from the phone won't goto the headset. But anything I tell it from the headset will come back to the headset.

So incoming calls and appointment notifications won't work on my headset. But everything else seems to work.
[HD2 General] guardm:
I have the Blue Ant Q1 and it announces the incoming caller's phone number and handles voice commands very well. I just can't seem to get ringtones to play through the headset. NOTE: Blue Ant has a newer model coming called T1 that is supposed to announce calls by name. But I cannot confirm this.

The Q1 does it for me so far but I REALLY would like to have ringtones/ringerIDs to play through the headset.......

I have a motorola T505 in car speaker and it works great, plus I can also listen to slacker through my car sterio with this unit. New Egg sells them for about $60
[HD2 General] polera257:
It will announce appointments

Starstreak, I have got it to announce my appointments. This is what I did. Enable the settings in the VoiceCommand app to announce appointments and uncheck only during free time. Then go to settings, on the bottom of the device it will say menu, click on menu then all settings this opens several selection icons. select bluetooth go into settings which is the gears on the top left, choose advanced then audio, check box to play system sounds on remote handsfree device. I have my device set to announce appointments 15 minutes before the time. when this happens a tone alert starts, this opens the audio channel to my bluetooth headset, I hear a little of the tone then I hear the voice announcement telling me what the appointment is. Doing this will also send system sounds to the headset but I don't mind that too much.
[HD2 General] polera257:
It palys music

Jdwme, I can play music through the headset also. It is caller ID announce I can't get working. Does your Motorola announce the incoming callers name or number. None of the devices I have tried will announce caller ID at all only through the phone speaker no bluetooth.
[HD2 General] guardm:
If youre willing to try another headset
[HD2 General] polera257:
waiting for the new Blueant

I looked up the Blueant and I am waiting for the new model which will announce the name of the caller. I was hoping someone would know of or figure out a registry hack or mod to get this to work on a regular bluetooth headset. Thanks for the tip on the Blueant
[HD2 General] guardm:
No problem Polera. According to Blue Ant, the T1 is due out in May 2010 and should be $79-$99. I will probably get one too.:cool:
[HD2 General] starstreak:
I thought I tried that one... I'll try that again.
[HD2 General] MadLinx:
It's not the HD2, It's a bug with MSVC when being used with WM versions past 6.1. I too have been looking for a fix for several days. I also had the Treo Pro where the Announce Incoming Caller worked with the same BT that I am using now.

I supposed now that MS is on to WM7, they could care less if they fix this or not.
[HD2 General] polera257:
That's why I posted here

MadLinx, That is why I posted the offer for someone here to maybe look into a registry hack or modification to get the caller Id over bluetooth working.. I have managed to get all the other voice functions operating.....still hoping someone here can help.
[HD2 General] Dr.8820:
mine works just fine, i'm using a moto h710 and plantronics 975. go to bluetooth settings, advanced, audio, and make sure "play system sounds on remote hands-free device is checked. then go to voice command, make sure it's enabled. then highlight phone, hit options. check all the boxes, including announce incoming calls and select annouce notifications using bluetooth if available. if you guys need more help, just holler :).
[HD2 General] starstreak:
Ok checked the box to move all audio to headset. Well, now I seem to get mostly everything but stuff that the unit initiates(sp) itself. Like the incoming caller ID/name if it's my address book. But so far it works the best.

MS should just pay someone to FIX this program. Hell, if it worked like how it's supposed to, I'll pay$29.95 for an app like this.
[HD2 General] MadLinx:
thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't change anything on my end. the announce works, but it still announces through the phone loud speaker.
[HD2 General] bgkilian:
Yesterday, I upgraded from a Dash (non-3G) to the HD2. On my Dash, I had performed the registry hack to enable the voice command messaging/caller ID announcements over the handsfree bluetooth, and had no problems. Now using the same Plantronics Voyager Pro headset with the HD2, I am receiving calendar and messaging notifications, but I too am not getting the caller ID announcements on the headset. The incoming call information that should be heard on the headset is played through the handset speaker which should be muted. However, I have no problem placing calls using the headset with voice command. So, if a problem exists with the bluetooth stack, I am not sure why it would work sometimes and other times not. I too have verified all of the settings mentioned in this thread to remedy the situation with no success. I have factory reset the HD2 and reconfigured everything, again without success. I am not sure where to go next.
[HD2 General] starstreak:
http://pocketnow.com/how-to/how-to-disable-htc-messaging-on-the-hd2

Can someone try this? He claims "One of the great things about HTC Sense on the HTC HD2 is that it's such a heavy redesign of Windows Mobile. Unfortunately, this can cause problems with some other applications. For me, HTC's text messaging application replacement disabled Microsoft Voice Command's ability to read my incoming text messages to me over a Bluetooth headset."

So I'm wondering if doing what he claims will allow the caller ID to be sent to BT? I would try this, but can't at the moment.
[HD2 General] polera257:
Did Not Work

Starstreak, I tried the cab file removing messaging and it did not restore announcing caller ID throuth bluetooth headset. I was hoping, perhaps someone else had better luck. Let us know if it works for you.
[HD2 General] bgkilian:
I did not have any luck with the .cab file either. Still experimenting...
[HD2 General] crissg:
One BT works with MSVC announcements, one doesn't

I've got a Moto s9 that I use for music mostly. I can use MSVC to call out from the headest, but the annoucements all play over the phone speaker even though I have "hands free" checked in the BT profile. My cheapy Jabra that I got "2 for 19.99" from Woot plays the annoucements just fine. Incoming callers, texts, and upcoming appointments are all announced in the earpiece.
[HD2 General] polera257:
What is the model number

Crissg, What is the model number of the Jabra headset that you have working. I will get one and try it. I can get all sounds to play through bluetooth except incoming caller announce where voice command says call from John Doe at home. If John is in my contacts. Have you been able to get Voicecommand to announce calls to your Jabra like that. Thanks in advance.....
[HD2 General] crissg:
BT350

Sorry for the late reply. Things have been crazy this week.

I think its an older model. Like I said, I got a pair of them for about $20 from Woot like a year ago.
[HD2 General] roundy1313:
After finding all the setting listed in the previous posts, there's one more that I found that should be the last piece. Go to settings>other>voice command, make sure it's enabled, then go through each of the individual items, checking options and notifications. When you get to the phone and check options, there are 3 boxes to check. One is Announce incoming calls. That was not checked on mine. All is good now.
[HD2 General] polera257:
roundy1313, I have all checked as you describe in your post. I can get announcements through the phone speaker but not over the bluetooth headset. Are you trying it over bluetooth. If it is working over bluetooth what brand and model headset are you using. I have had no luck with any brand I own.
[HD2 General] roundy1313:
Yes, I am getting it over bluetooth. I forget what model I have, but it's about a 4 year old Plantronics headset. Now that I've used it a little more, I can say that it's not perfect. It doesn't always get my voice commands, sometimes have to repeat. But, that's also probably somewhat user error. I should read up on it more, and make sure I'm using all the right commands. But I am getting things like calendar appointments and even IM notices over bluetooth to the headset. Now, if I could just figure out why my offline IM's stopped coming, I'd be all set. The first week or 2 I always got them, then, for some reason, they stopped showing up on log in. I'm running pretty much a stock phone, with only adding the wifi router, and the fix for the compass so far.
[HD2 General] RicoHorton:
i touch Start. then i touch Personal. then i touch Voice Command. Check Enabled Box. i check all Items i want voice enabled. touch Phone Item, Touch phone options, check Confirm when calling by name box. check Confirm when dialing by number. check Announce in coming calls. return to Voice Command. while phone item button is still highlighted touch Notifications grey button. this takes you to Voice Command: Notification Options. touch the dots to check either Announce notifications using Bluetooth hands free only. or Announce notifications using Bluetooth hands free if available.

i just wish i could change the digital female voice that sounds like a demented robot.:mad:
[HD2 General] donrino:
try this

go to settings-bluetooth-advance-audio.

it will redirect all the sounds to the BT
[HD2 General] sky51fire:
I apologize for resurrecting this thread. Did anyone find a solution to this problem other than trying a different bluetooth headset? I have the plantronics voyager 855 and the announcements come out of my T-Mobile HTC HD2's speaker when receiving calls. I've tried all the configurations mentioned here in this thread.
[HD2 General] polera257:
I have all but given up on this being fixed. Seems no one is interested in having the incoming call announcements come through the bluetooth headset. Doesn't seem to be an important feature. I liked it when it worked. Microsoft or HTC could most likely find an answer but both are on to more important things....so I guess we are SOL on this.
[HD2 General] sky51fire:
If it is a software problem, shouldn't all bluetooth headsets get affected. According to some posts on this thread, there are some bluetooth headsets that work. Have you been able to confirme this?
[HD2 General] polera257:
I have tried many different brand of bluetooth headsets and all have the same problem. They work for activating a call and confirm the caller name but will NOT announce the incoming caller's name or phone number in the bluetooth headset. The announcement of all incoming calls go to the phone speaker.
[HD2 General] sky51fire:
Did you try moto h710 and plantronics 975? In his post in this thread, mr8820 stated that moto h710 and plantronics 975 worked for him.
[HD2 General] polera257:
I tried the 710 and no good. This is a problem with the widcomm bluetooth stack which causes the announce over bluetooth not to work. If Microsoft updated their program or HTC corrected the problem with the stack or used the microsoft bluetooth stack then it would work as it has in the past.
[HD2 General] :
I got a new HD2 a couple of weeks ago in place of my broken Touch Cruise. I have used MS Voice Command with Bluetooth headsets on my last four phones and for me it is

THE

most useful phone application there is so I'm not prepared to give up easily on the HD2!

It worked perfectly on my last phone with all announcements (incoming calls, text messages, emails subject lines) being spoken through the headset EXCEPT for Hotmail messages. These latter could be "fixed" by using Pocket Outlook in a POP3 configuration for Hotmail but this added other deficiencies so I gave up on that small issue.

Now I'm working on getting everything working on my HD2 and will report progress as it happens. Wish me luck!!
[HD2 General] polera257:
I agree with you. I used Microsoft Voice Command all the time and loved the incoming voice annoounce over my bluetooth headset as well as my car bluetooth. I can not understand why HTC or Microsoft has not tried to fix this. I guess they have moved on to bigger and better things. From what I understand the problem is with HTC using the widcomm bluetooth stack and Microsoft Voice Command needs the microsoft bluetooth stack. Maybe this information will help you figure out how to get it working.

Does anyone know of a decent dictionary for WM6? I tried to install the WordNet CE, following the instructions (http://www.ebswift.com/PocketPC/WordNet/)... But my phone says it's not suitable for this program and installation was unsuccesful.

Thanks!

Hello

I wonder what program/codec pack I should use to be able to watch the films that I watch on my computer. On my PC I use Media Player Classic with K-lite codec pack and I can watch mostly all film formats, including .flv and stuff. On my HTC I can hardly watch anything. I currently have Core Media Player and Windows media Player on my phone. What do I miss?

Thanks!

Try This...

I've used this for over a year now. It's not designed specifically for the Rose, but it works - that's all that matters!

Set the output resolution to VGA (640x480) and they will play fine. You can play the converted videos with HTC Album, no special codecs, or additional software required. I use it to converted .avi and .flv, but I'm sure it will convert a lot more than just those two formats ;)
[S740, S743 General] bill48105:
On my S710 (not tried on my S740) I use PocketTV Classic (free one) or TCPMP (Core Media Player) depending on the file type. Either is 100x better than Windows Media Player for any video I've tried but as grahamkdt pointed out you should use a utility to convert the source videos to a phone-friendly format: type (diff compression types require more or less CPU usage & may only work with certain players), resolution (pref match your screen res) and bit-rates that your media & phone can keep up so it's not choppy. Once you optimize video files & try a few players you should be able to get some pretty decent playback on a Rose considering I was able to on my old S710 which has a lot less power.
[S740, S743 General] Elusivo:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=636423 this is the tcpmp build i use for some months, the best one i tried, i hate converting videos but this plays most my videos without needing any conversion
[S740, S743 General] bill48105:
Cool thanks, hadn't seen that version.

As far as converting, why make your phone work harder than it has to & waste a ton of space on your storage card when you can just spend a few minutes converting videos to optimize for your phone? Especially with super fast computers these days it doesn't take a few seconds to a few minutes now. Of course you wouldn't convert in certain circumstances (like if the original wasn't very hi-res to start with) especially if you're only going to watch it once & delete to free up space but if you plan to keep it why not shrink it down and have it play even smoother? Besides they copy over usb or onto flash a lot faster when they're smaller. Plus not sure any phone can handle HD let alone blueray yet and who'd waste the space if it could. ;)
[S740, S743 General] Elusivo:
haha yes i know bill, but in my case, unfortunately, i suffer from a serious case of laziness and procrastination :rolleyes: so i just can't really be bothered with getting more programs and go through all the work to convert stuff, i dun even convert the ones that i want but can't watch on the mobile lol those that i want but can't i just watch them on the computer and curse my mobile with some nasty words :p

Don't be an idiot like I was.

Before you buy any micro SD cards on eBay, make sure the seller is *not* listed on this website:

In fact, if any mods are listening, could you please pin this thread? I know some of the forums for other devices have threads on this subject, but if they sink, nobody will get the warning.

Thanks.

I was wandering around my hometown yesterday pricing 16GB cards. The cheapest price in a shop was EU80 -- nearly $100.

I believe there are reputable sellers on ebay selling for less than half that.
[Nexus One Accessories] Austin021296:
I got my 16gb card for 2.50$ :D
[Nexus One Accessories] peadarog:
That's great, but be careful. The biggest scam out there is 2 and 4gb cards programmed to look like 16gb to your operating system. The only way to test them is with a free utility called h2testw.

Hopefully your card is a good one. Mine turned out to be 2gb.

I've not touched eBay memory cards since I bought a Sony from a 'trusted' seller. Turned out to be a cheap knock off. I had my money back in a day after suggesting to the seller that I'd be contacting Sony's fraud investigations team if I didn't get prompt action.

Then I contacted them anyway :-)

They "Weren't just Selling them".

Their supplier sent them a batch of fake CPUs. Once new-egg discovered the error, they refunded money and offered discounts and also dropped the supplier.

It was clearly an accident.

wth. You sound like you work for a certain political spin machine.

Clearly, anyone with half a brain, can see that Newegg expediently rectified the situation. If anything, this situation with the bunk processors would put Newegg in an even more trustworthy position than they were prior to this unfortunate incident.
