Do any of your headsets support voice dialing from Android, ie speak contact name and Tab calls them?

I have a 'cheap' A2DP stereo headset but it still uses the Tab mic for voice recognition/voice actions etc. and im looking to get a new headset which supports the earpiece mic for voice actions.
[Galaxy Tab General] leginag:
Just confirming as I'm looking at getting the jawbone icon (and their website appears to assume a lot)

It streams music?

Can initiate calls?

I'm using http://www.bestbuy.com/site/BlueAnt...8205766045&skuId=9986644&st=blueant&cp=1&lp=2 and it's working great although the voice commands dont seem to work with the tab
[Galaxy Tab General] Alcibiade:
Anybody knows of a headset that can access the contact list of the tab ? I ma very happy with a headset showing me the phone number of the person calling but that doesn't help very much when you don't know all you friends number by heart :)
[Galaxy Tab General] tekomni:
The Blueant is working great for me. Crystal clear.
[Galaxy Tab General] fastcx:
I'm using iTech i.VoicePro, awesome noise cancelling(it performs well even during a very crowded wedding dinner, asian style), nice battery life with very clear audio for both sides. The design is elegant, tho bigger than most bt headset out there.

i.Tech i.VoicePRO 901
[Galaxy Tab General] OttOiOttO:
How about voice caller ID and voice command, are those feature work well to you?

I thought the same, but most of the headsets these days don't have LCD display even if they do they'll show just a number not a contact name, I believed. So I suggest you try BlueAnt's they store contact list and do voice caller ID, I don't get one yet though can't say it for sure it would work well as they claim.
[Galaxy Tab General] domzilla:
The Jawbone Icon stream music but no wow in the sound quality to me. Maybe is because I prefer a looser fit on the ear.

Can't activate voice dialing (an android issue?)

I am pleased with the voice quality sound far.
[Galaxy Tab General] Alcibiade:
I'll have a look. How is it storing the contact list ?
[Galaxy Tab General] orenxda:
Waiting for Blueant T1.

Think the caller infos will be linked with/uploaded from the device contact list/the blueant app and I hope Samsung's app on this side will not interfere with it (as it does with assigning ringtones)

@tekomni: did you install the specific app (blueant t1) on the market to fully enable features?
[Galaxy Tab General] tekomni:
No I didn't have to install the blueant app to get the caller I'd announcement to work. As soon. As it paired, the contact list transferred. However I can't get the voice commands to work. I hope to get that going but is not crucial to me personally.
[Galaxy Tab General] rpmbnsf:
I also have the BlueAnt (Q2) and it has same issue where it will download the phone book but never lets me call by name in the phone book..it will let me redial last call though. call quality is great and everything else on it works very well...just bugs me that the voice dial commands will not work (clarification.. all other commands do work save the device battery level one..and voice dial..but every other command I can use).
[Galaxy Tab General] orenxda:
BAs app description on the market says it just "enables the reading of text messages" and "guides through the setup process". Not mentioning enabling voice calls. But have a try, if it acts like a sort of driver never know?

Waiting for mine to finaly cross the atlantic (ordered in US 3weeks ago zzz... )

Ill report how understandable it reads french sms :) and fight to make voice calls.
[Galaxy Tab General] Alcibiade:
BlueAnt looks fun but if I understand correctly it redas you the name of the caller ? :) I'd like to have this ona LCD. Do you know any good bluetooth headset that doe sit and downloads teh contact list ? SO far I saw some that do it but just show the caller's number (which I definitely care less about)
[Galaxy Tab General] ziffos:
Plantronics Explorer 320.

Works well.:)
[Galaxy Tab General] donharden2002:
The only way to get voice activated calling from your earpiece right now is to load one of the rom's from the dev section. Mine works fine with di11's 2.5 voodoo rom and its very nice with other stuff they have done also.
[Galaxy Tab General] mario23:
Why not use Vlingo for voice activated commands?
[Galaxy Tab General] orenxda:
ref to T1 app FAQ "If your Android device is runing a version of the Android Operating System that supports voice dialing over bluetooth, you can also make calls by using the phone's voice dialing feature."

is there a way to implement only that function?
[Galaxy Tab General] orenxda:
Not quite sure VLINGO works over bluetooth.

Maybe "Magic Dial" that connects automatically to the headset?
[Galaxy Tab General] turruso:
Using Jabra BT530, works fine for A2D, don't think mic is supported on skype, but thats app related.
[Galaxy Tab General] domzilla:
Tried Vlingo using Jawbone Icon with the Tab mic covered and it works.
[Galaxy Tab General] orenxda:
thanks for the tip but i dont really feel like changing rom while my device is all set up. I got the blueant today and it works well except "voice commands" as expected.

"Activating your phones inbuild voice commands on the connected phone" then "this feature is not supported on the connected phone"
[Galaxy Tab General] Alcibiade:
Anyone could advise a good Bluetooth headset, with an LCD and showing the caller NAME and not the phone number calling ?

The Blue Ant ones voice the calling name but don't show on an LCD as far as I could red... And most of the headset around show the caller ID, which I presume is only the caller number :(
[Galaxy Tab General] paulshields:
Vlingo works great with a bluetooth headset. A seriously awesome app!
[Galaxy Tab General] Lindarose84:
Need some help here- I have a Sprint Tab and I've been trying for the life of me to pair it to both my Jawbone Icon and my Plantronics Explorer 230 to no avail. The Tab is simply not seeing any devices and I have followed the pairing instructions exactly.

If anyone on this thread can confirm that either of these works with their Sprint Tab that would be really helpful.

My Tab hasn't been rooted or had anything flashed (though I'm not sure that should make a difference).
[Galaxy Tab General] roy8846:
I use Nokia BH-503 Stereo Bluetooth Headphones (with mic and answer buttons etc..

[Galaxy Tab General] Lindarose84:
Thanks but that's not really an option for me since I've already invested in two headsets I read about in this thread only to find neither of them work. I need someone to confirm that one of these two headsets work on the Sprint Tab. Someone please let me know!
[Galaxy Tab General] Lindarose84:
Ok so apparently no one on a Sprint Tab uses a bluetooth headset.

Looking like I may jump ship- the crippled bluetooth is too much of a dealbreaker. sigh.
[Galaxy Tab General] domzilla:
Hi. I use the Jawbone Icon with an Asia Tab. Works fine. I believe there are other Icon users in this thread too.
[Galaxy Tab General] Lindarose84:
Thanks but I've been asking if it works with a Sprint Tab specifically. I don't believe the Sprint Tabs have the HSP needed to pair to bluetooth headsets. Sprint specifically crippled this feature. If there were a way to flash only the bluetooth files from the Euro rom over to the Sprint Tab I would do it but I have no clue how to even begin that task.

Looking into just sending the Sprint Tab back today. I was previously using a wired headset but it started getting inconvenient so I would prefer using a bluetooth headset. However, if it doesn't even work then that's a problem.
[Galaxy Tab General] ukjeeper:
Another Jawbone Icon user here.
[Galaxy Tab General] upperkingjr:
Jawbone Icon works great ...
[Galaxy Tab General] Lindarose84:
Well I finally got the Icon paired. Tested it out with a family member and she stated she could barely hear me since I sounded far away. Man if it isn't one thing it's another...at least I got it paired.
[Galaxy Tab General] jeoteoh:
i am using jawbone ion. when answering call, they always find that my background is very noisy. anyone face the same issue? how to resolve?

tks
[Galaxy Tab General] greenbridge:
I am using Jawbone Icon too. It works fine with tab. The noise cancelling works super on the noisy street. The other side would not realize that I am working on the street. But the environment can't be too noisy as the volumn of ear phone is a bit low which makes myself couldn't hear then.
[Galaxy Tab General] greenbridge:
You have to wear it in a the right way. The sensor has to touch your jaw properly. Find it out from Jawbone's web site.
[Galaxy Tab General] nicomputer:
Hey funtoosh, I'm doing exactly the same with my galaxy tab and my mw600 and my notebook in parallel...

Now I'm wondering if you manage somehow to send voice commands trough the headset with the pushbutton? If yes, what apps are you using and wich ROM?

Thank you in advance
[Galaxy Tab General] craptag:
Does anyone know if the Jawbone Icon vibrates when there is an incoming call or msg?

Or any other Jawbone models that do?
[Galaxy Tab General] themachfive:
I have both the Jabra Extreme and the Aliph Jawbone ERA.

IMO - The jawbone beats the jabra hands down. Stereo output, multiple features to make life easier - as far as loudness goes, the jabra takes the lead.
[Galaxy Tab General] domzilla:
No vibration on the Icon
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pegleg2060:
So i rooted my Captivate I-987, used rom manager to backup my stock rom and flashed Axura on. I wanted to change roms to try new things out and i hit recover in the clockwork mod recovery mode, and it didn't go back to the original. So now the only working zip file on my phone is axura and i want to know is there anyway to get the original ATT stock to work, i know there is ODIN but i'm a little unsure on how to use it. Any help is appreciated, and i know there are posts about Odin but i was wodering if someone can help with the clockwork recovery possibly.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koreancanuck:

**Backup your apps first using Titanium backup**

ODIN is really easy to use once you know how to use it. First, download the correct drivers and ODIN as the OP says in the thread. Fire up ODIN after your download has finished.

Next, take out your sim card. Don't connect your USB cable to your phone yet. If you are on Axura currently, what you can do is long press the power button and boot into download mode (you will see the option along with power off and reboot). Once your phone is in download mode, ODIN will say "added!". If your phone is currently turned off, you can try pressing both volume buttons and connecting the USB cable to your phone and continue pressing the buttons until you see the download mode screen. Again if you do it right, ODIN will say "added!"

Once ODIN recognizes your device, press start and watch the magic happen! Your phone will be back to stock. It will lose root as well but you can re-root it easy.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] startngate:
PS ... get used to doing this. Flashing back to stock is always recommended before you flash a new ROM. Will save you lots of headaches.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crystalhand:
No you can not get back to stock with out odin. If you used rom manger it would no doubt cause problems. When you flash a rom it can change stuff on the phone that can only be reset through odin. Its a clean slate for a rom and prevents most errors.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] jaryves:
Hello,

I was wondering yesterday why my hero (2.1) noticed short available space

I checked the app manager and 3 of them seem very very big:confused:

- contact: approx 15MB

- twitter: approx 19MB (unistall + re-install = 3.5MB)

- google maps: approx: 9MB

Is this normal?

Can you advise me how to reduce the size af these apps? (its not a pb of cache)

Thanks !;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] lukpe:
Just get app2sd on the market and move all movable apps to the sd card.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] vijaysapkota:
You may try to delete the files used by the app from application manager in settings..

that may help you..

this is a little late, but if the Move To SD Card button is pressable, does that mean they are movable? I did it once and lost all icons for my apps? >.<;
[HD7 General] adesonic:
My HD7 did a HTC Hub update this morning, it seemed like a pretty major download (took about 10 minutes) My firend had the same on his Mozart yesterday, anyone know what is in it?
[HD7 General] homer.web:
Nothing... :D It seems to me, that the whole HTC HUB is the swan song of the HTC UI. The only very good thing is the HTC wheather and its pitty, that it is not the separate application with its own live tile. Its the best weather app. on mobile phones so far.
[HD7 General] Jim Coleman:
The HTC weather app is gorgeous, but the lack of weather info on the tile means I have removed the HTC hub from my start screen and replaced it with Weather Bug, which not only keeps the tile updated with the latest weather, it also sends me notifications of weather warnings, which is neat. Weatherbug may not be as pretty as HTC Weather but it's a lot more functional.
[HD7 General] homer.web:
I did the same and removed HTC HUB from start screen. But for the weather info I am using Microsoft app. Its clean and fast - faster than weather bug, only the tile is not the live tile. :(
[HD7 General] nrfitchett4:
I was using weatherbug, but the weather channel seemed to update more often and the UI is awesome.
[HD7 General] homer.web:
UI is awsome when you get there. But I am not abble to get through the first screen and enter my location. None of the two options works. :confused:
[HD7 General] nrfitchett4:
maybe its USA only....
[HD7 General] homer.web:
Maybe, but then they should write it in marketplace. :mad:

Great Apps.

Worked great in Singapore.

And on that note how do I perform the update? Just go into the HTC hub?

Don't think so, read it from the beginning... ;)

Actually, what I want to know is what is in the update?
[HD7 General] rysky007:
Ive noticed since the update, they added many new apps, but now the market lags a lot and today has been locking up as I scroll through.

any one else?
[HD7 General] xma1e:
There's been about 2 or 3 updates since the HD7 was released in October, for each one there has been no info. I'm really not impressed with the HTC "Experience" on WP7, it fells like they can't compete and can't be bothered. Even the way the weather app is clunked onto the Hub and is the only one of their apps that cannot be pinned as a tile.

This time next year, I will be hard pushed to stay with HTC.
[HD7 General] homer.web:
As I said earlier, it looks like the swan song of the HTC UI at least on WP7 platform.
[HD7 General] digime:
I hope so. Sense has always been next to useless. Apart from a few animations it was a terrible interface.

I even turned it off on my WinMo 6 phone.
[HD7 General] frontieruk:
Sense is what sold many htc android owners the phone, it just works and is more intuitive than the default experience from Google.

Weather channel works here but no live tile, makes it as useful as the htc hub imo

Hi,

the phone changes its device ID in FTM (bootloader) mode and so ADB can't see it.

In normal mode it is there, but in FTM mode the ID changes from C001 to C003 and the drivers won't get installed.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoriokFutai:
I am pretty new with Android.

- Yesterday, I got a black c=screen (the bottom buttons were lighting up, but the screen stayed black).

- I re-flashed with VOL UP + HOME + POWER

- Everything is OK, WIFI works BUT I get a sim card with an exclamation point on the status bar.

- I tried to upgrade to Froyo through the registry hack - no success

- I flashed again - the sim card is still there

- I tried a different sim - no luck

I have a Galaxy S I9000M from Bell Canada. It is Unlocked and Rooted. The soft version is ECLAIR.UGJH2. Firmware 2.1-update1.

I am using it in Romania under Vodafone Romania.

The phone always had a problem of not seeing the network notifications(ex: when you send an sms to a certain number and you get back usage info). All the rest was working 100%

Is the anything I can do to fix this? I can not return the phone in warranty as I am no longer in Canada.

Thank you

Hi all!

I tried searching the forum for similar issues. Sorry if exists.

I have a Galaxy S (I9000XXJPP) which i updated to 2.2 Froyo through Kies. Everything went well, Froyo seems to be running ok but i do have a big problem: battery performance. It drains in only a few hours. in standby it goes from 100% to 10-15% over the night. Before the update it took more than 2-3 days.

I looked on other forums and there are others with the same problem.

Some said it was because of the Wifi sleep policy which i changed to "When screen turns off" but in vain.

Of course i don't have any apps that drain the battery.

Anyone got to the problem and solved it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ickyboo:
Its probaby the Gallery sensor problem

Go replace the Gallery app with a fixed/bugfree version. Need root and root explorer to do it. Its all over the forums just look
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikst8:
so this sensor works in the background and drains the battery this much?

sorry but i didn't find any thread similar...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _dsk_:
Gallery and email seem be causing the most issues. Its very common and appears to happen on quite a few different ROMS.

SGS tools has a fix for an alternative gallery.apk which you can try (you will need to be rooted though). You can download SGS tools from the market.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikst8:
i wouldn't root it. might be problems with the warranty after.

anyway not sure what i did but may battery is back to normal. stopped the auto rotation for a while then activated it back and didn't use the gallery.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _dsk_:
z4root allows you to do a temporary root, but again thats up to you.

Your best solution, if it is the gallery causing the issue is to simply not use the gallery and find an alternative in the market to download.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikst8:
i did just that. stopped auto rotation, downloaded just pictures from the market but still the other night went again from 70-80% to 0. it's weird sometime the battery is drained like hell but sometimes it's normal. i need to find the cause.

any way to get back to 2.1?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _dsk_:
You can download a generic 2.1 ROM from samfirmware.com and flash it with ODIN.

Also, if there isnt an official Froyo for your product code yet, you can use the KIES Reg hack application to restore it back to 2.1.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roisagi:
same problem - battery drains extremly fast (Froyo 2.2).

diasbled push mail - battery still drains..

have no idea what to do.......
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marshall2005:
I faced the same "over-night" problem...I thought that background apps done that, but it seems that after turning off data network the life-time of my battery almost went from less than a day to about 4 full days. Maybe the signal strength was an important issue (indoor, I have about 2-3 signal lines). Also mail/calendar/weather/etc continuous updates drain the battery...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ickyboo:
To summerise, If you have battery draining problem just root your device and install SGS Tools 4.0x and goto Patched Stock Apps in it and install the Gallery3d app which will replace your stock but buggy gallery. Also the Camera update is great imho as it allows you to use power button as camera shutter. Now If you do not want to root or so anythign drastic then just NEVER use Gallery and download JustPicutres! from market (Free) and use that from now on. Easy
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Margaliini:
I had this same issue. After updating froyo via Kies, battery life dropped from normal 2 days to less than 24 hours. With 3G disabled as well as sync.

But, what's even more strange, is that when I got frustrated enough and flashed back to JM2 with Odin, the same problem still existed! Only 24 hours or less, every time. Same happened with JM9 I tried after that.

Been trying these battery resets and stuff without success. Has anyone come into any sort on conclusion, what could be the reason for these battery-draining issues, especially AFTER updating/flashing?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hlvl:
Hi friends.

I found the following coincedence.

When I install new build aparently CurrentWindget shows 60mA in stand by and no way to fix it to 5-7mA as it should be.

The solution which helps me to fix it is the following:

- enable GPS module in settings

- open Maps and wait for it to find where you are located

- go back to homescreen and put phone to stand by

It should be fixed now to 5-7mA current.

Hope it will help everyone.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hlvl:
I can even leave GPS module on all the time after that - standby current stays at 5-7mA level.
