Voice Command 1.6 & Dash Command Button - HTC Excalibur

For those users of Microsoft Voice command on the Excalibur / Dash, I have found that "App 3" can be selected as the command button (selected thorugh voice command setup) and this will configure the home button as the voice command activation button (a long key press is needed). This substitutes the built-in voice dialing capacity with VC 1.6.
"App 6" maps to the end call button which can also be used, but you can no longer use this button as a key lock.

Hmmm... It doesn't work for me

Oh, wait!
It works, only if BT headset is disabled, not connected!

reboot needed
perhaps you need to first reboot. After I rebooted, it worked but I did not try it with my bluetooth was connected.

Now it works all the time. Weird

odd call waiting behavior
At times, when I receive a call waiting, the phone has disconnected my first caller to take the new call. The behavior is erratic and i have wondered if VC was responsible. Have you seen this behavior?

great tip -- it didn't work at first for me either, but after i reset and tried a few more times it worked. thanks.

i usually don't get call waiting, but i don't recall having this happening. i just may not have encountered it as of yet.

Voice Command 1.6 button on Dash
I remapped the pink 't' button on the bottom right-hand side of the keyboard to start Voice Command. The pink button previously opened t-zones, which I have no need for. It works perfectly and is easy to find without looking since it's the second to last button in the bottom row.

Black Majik with Cyberon Voice Dial Enchantment

Has anyone gotte the Voice dialer in the Enchantment pack to work correctly under Majik? I've assigned the button as normal and although I can run the application directly from Programs, calling it via the button results in an error opening the shortcut or locating the target filename.
Yes I've gotten it to work correctly. I've map button 5 (press and hold) to Voice Speed Dial.
Hmmm. Did you use the one in Enchantments.zip or the one from the old Shadow archive?
Yes I had the same problem ,I assigned the button (PTT) the quick one and it worked about twice and then the error. I then reassigned it to the push and hold
button and it has worked for me fine ever since about 4 days I will say I also tried that same button combination with Microsoft Voice Command got the same results so I don't think it has anything with the programs.

I also found this bug if you asign PTT button to something it will work fine untill you change another button (or even if you just open the "buttons" program), then you'll have to change PTT button to something else, and change it back to what you want, after that it will work fine untill you change something else again.

Remapping Home Key For Voice Command

I'm having the same issue with my Excalibur.
I am trying to find a way to remap the Home button when it is held down. It currently runs the Voice Dial/Tag, and I want it to run Voice Command 1.6.
I am currently running HTC_S620_WWE_1.27.405.1_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship ROM
Voice Command Setup has button assignments Record, App 1, App 2, App 3, App 4, App 5, & App 6. I've tried all of them and none of them seem to work. Through my research I noticed that the record button was the held-down Home key (just as I thought all along...).
So here lies my dillemma: I believe (aka hypothesise) that the Dash - or at least the ROM- has a registry key pre-assigned to the Home key and cannot be over-ridden by an external program. Does anyone know what key this is, or if there is a work around?
Any suggestions?
I also wanted to say, I love you xda-dev because I had minor experience with flashing phones (old Nokia's), and your forums helped me use my first WM phone to it's fullest. from locked & branded to lean-mean all-in-one machine. Much appreciated.
App3 Button assigned my Home Key for Voice Command
Poppa_John,
I was having the same issue, trying to guess which button to use. I selected app3, and my Home button now selects the voice command when I press it down, like the voice tag button used to do. I can also select the voice command when connected via bluetooth through my headset by depressing the button momentarily on the headset itself.
Here's my phone's info.
Windows Mobile 6 Standard
CE OS 5.2.1238 (Build 17745.0.2.3)
CE ROM Version: 5.2.1238.17745

I'm trying to figure out which of these "APP" buttons correspond to the buttons on the phone? Anyone have a diagram or something?

AE Button 2.6.6 - 2.2.09 - Experiences

there is a new version of AE Button! The Button map application! Any experiences? Is there an improvement for the HD? Let´s test
Anyone tried?
I wish to know too =)
Is it free?
I have this registered.
The unregistered version is actually almost fully functioning and well worth trying.
I choose to register since I found the application useful and it seemed fair to pay the developer.
THANKS, for the new version alert. But, I suspect there is little new as the history details for this version are:
02.02.2009(v2.6.6):
Fixes:
Backlight works on HP 612c now
Languages:
Updated Traditional Chinese resources (thanks to Chow Yuh)
AE Button
I find this software very useful. It completely eliminates the need of locking/unlocking software for me.
I just set double or triple tap to answer and hang up keys. This will prevent accidental key press when taking HD out of pocket. To answer call, simple double/triple tap on answer key or simply slide on screen to answer (built-in screen lock will be unlocked during incoming call).
Set press and hold volume up to toggle wireless and down to toggle bluetooth.
This one single software solved all my screen locking + lack of buttons issues!! Believe me i tried touch lock pro, sensor lock, slide to unlock and what ever you can think of (I didnt like because I think its not really practical for me to be rolling phone 180 degrees or shaking back n fourth in meetings to answer a call.)...I know you guys may argue it has light sensors to unlock, but I'll be in meetings and presentations which might be low light conditions. I do not want to set very small for polling interval either. If you have tried all else, no harm in trying this.
if you guys face the same problem like me, this tiny software might be the right solution for you.
The best combination for me:
Gyrator2 (fine tuned based on my apps) + Lumos + AE Button Plus + Touch Response (for onscreen keypress only).
The only flaw that i could find to complain is that they should really change the icon...it looks like bread/potato/or whatever...
Headset Buttons
Hi there,
is this program able to capture the button press events from a headset wired/wireless?
What I'd like to achieve is, to switch to the next song in Mediaplayer as long there is no incoming or active call.
Is that possible?
Thx in Advance
Steve

Hi, I believe not. I understand the press events from headsets and bluetooth AVRCP are actually trapped in the hardware by HTC and by-pass the operating system and are sent directly to TF3D music or WMP.
If you check on the AEB plus site: http://ae.inc.ru/ it says the app is not for specific applications.
(Also: the AEB+ icon does look like a loaf of bread !!)
Will it allow me to remap the Home button on the Touch HD?

Nope. All the others but not the home button.
I have:
1. volume up. 1 press = arrow up, 2 press = volume up, long press = plamp (flash light)
2. volume down. 1 press = arrow down, 2 press = volume down, long press = resco notes recorder (auto)
3. OK / back. 2 press = rotate screen 90 deg
I keep the long press on phone end and long press on phone start handled by the system.
Dave, thanks a lot and you have some very smart short cuts
I may very well adopt them too.

Thanks, but I'm needing a suggestion for replacing the flash light. Never used this now "for real" so I shall find something else for the long volume up press ...
I have almost identical settings but use the long up as a bluetooth toggle. This is a fantastic program and really eliminates one of the few shortcomings of this phone.

P Lamp v1.5 http://pda.jasnapaka.com/plamp/
Question guys,
How do I map the call button to long press (like the smallest long press ever) to get the Start menu?
Thanks
Sorry, I don't understand what you want. Is "call button" the "end call" or "start call" ?
Dave, call button is the left-most button that answers/makes a call. If it were colored, it would have been green.
I want to short press it to start menu (heres the tricky part, I have Quick Menu as my start menu).
Basically I miss the Start button from my TyTn II (Kaiser) and the scroll on the top. I have managed to set the volume buttons as scroll up/down and want the start call button to imitate the start menu button when I long press it. But I want to long press it for as little time as possible. So say 1 second as opposed to 3 seconds.
I see. So, two points:
1. Get quick menu
2. Use a "short" long press
I asked because the green/start left button is assignable in the standard settings - button to the <start menu> but I don't know how to do this to quick menu. I guess if you make a short cut to quick menu and drop this somewhere in the Programs folder in windows (or a sub-folder) then the standard settings - button should find it OK.
But, for option 2 I have no idea. Instead of the "short" long press how about using AEB+ with a double press ?
Dave, I see from the options that you can set the delay. I guess this from the "Key Press timeout" menu where you can select units of time starting with 200ms to 900ms. I am guessing that 200ms of time needed for a long press would be the shortest longpress possible.
Any how, how to assign the green button to start menu? It doesnt work for me. I have it as 2 presses or 3 presses or long press for start menu but nothing happens.
one problem it works to rotate(volume up which i assigned) but as soon as i make a call or recieve a call it no longer works untill i soft reset???? im i missing a setting or something? i have duttys rom, please help! : ) thanks!

Long press call button to get speakermode

Hello,
On my HTC S710 it was possible to long press the call button when you take on the call, and automaticly get the call into speakermode.
I want to know if the same thing is possible to have on the Touch Pro2. (and yes i know i can flip over the phone to get that, but thats not working when i'm driving a car )
yes that works with the TP2

is it possible to get in speakermode when i longpress the call button when i recieve a call? (so before i answer it)
ah, i thought you meant while in the call. umm, as for answering that way, i don't know.

Not as I know - first single press and then long press.
But, you might try some programs that activate the speakerphone automatically (e.g. a program called... yes: 'Speakerphone' )
maybe you can program them to turn it on only when connected to mains without ActiveSync connection.

S Voice

Hi I have a question about S voice, right when I got my note I was able to press the home button 2 times and the S voice would come on and automatically listen to whatever command I gave it, but now when I press the home button twice I still get the S voice but it now asks for a voice command to start S voice?, and it is not as automated as it used to be. Any yes the settings are correct for voice wakeup and open via home key. Thanks
I have that same exact question. I could've sworn when I first got my Note 4, when I pressed the Home button twice, it would automatically turn the mic on. Now it requires another tap. Might as well use Google. Is there much of a difference anyway?
