Hi all,
Does the XDA2s and Microsofts Voice Command work on a XDA2s?
I'm not English, but I'm sure my English is good enought!
Whenever I give a voice command I get a "please repeate" error..
I think it's something with the mic gain, but where and how do I set it lower? Enabling/Disabling the Microphone AGC settings did not really help!
Any suggestions?
You should rather forget about this application. I tried to use it but with no success, exactly like you. Then I tried other applications (with the same result) and finally I followed suggestions from this forum: Neuvoice - it works and it's cheap.

Thanks Maciej L,
Yes I think I will dump it.. It really sucks...
Looks nice the Neuvoice. To bad there is no demo to test it 1st
Yes there is a demo version, just download the full version from somewhere and it works as demo until you purchase the unlock code (as far as I can remember - but I'm not 100% sure - so you should by yourself)

XDA IIs Fonix Application
I have just received my XDAIIs upgrade from an XDA II and it comes complete with Fonix Voice Dial. It automatically records test voices against your contacts (name number) and then you can call it up any time. You can also record your own voice which makes it more efficient. It also works with bluetooth. It seems an OK applicaiton to me.
Is this what you have been talking about? :lol:
In a quiet environment, it really doesn't have any problems with recognizing my commands. As long as you don't have a terrible English accent. However, you can forget about if you are in a loud environment though.
of where you have downloaded it to you.
I don't find any demo in any place
greetings and thank you
XDA IIs Voice Software
I got mine with the XDA IIs cd but try Handango.com who have a good range of voice software including Vito Voice....
you have registered in your cd ?¿?

Voice Command 1.5
well, I have to say MS Voice Command works great for me. 95% hit rate on about 1000 contacts in my xdaIIs. Even in the car. Far better that V1.01. A couple of tips from my experienece with it.
1. Make sure the microphone auto gain is "disabled"
2. If it initially has problems and hit rate is very low, a soft reset usually sorts it out
3. Map the "record" button to Voice Command for easier access.
4. If your car is noisy, use a wired head set while driving. (I have not been able to get the bluetooth voice dialing to work at this point)

Hmmm... With none of the Voice dial programs I've been able to get the bluetooth to work.. Not sure if it's the bluetooth unit itself, or if it's some ROM version thingy...
The BT headset is a SE HBH-600. The XDA2s is with ROM version 1.12.62 WWE and radio version 1.02.00.
Can/will this work with bluetooth voice dialing??
MS Voice Command & BT Voice Dialing
No, sorry, I have not been able to make it work. I think its still an issue with the implementation of the BT stack (in this case the Widcomm stack) on the HTC devices. I can establish a connect from my headset to the device, but does not "link up" with voice dialing.
I now use a regular noise cancelling wired headset in the car, via an adapter plug sold by PockPCTechs (www.pocketpctechs.com) Other wise just use the phone mic to initiate a voice command dialed call

I was going to ask how well this works?
I'm getting a BT car kit fitted literally in the next hour and was hoping I'd be able to voice dial like I could my old Nokia, while driving.
I am using
O2 xda2s with microsoft voice software
I have a fairly noisy sports car but it works well..
I have the voice mapped to contacts button so one press and direct voice towards pda and no botha.... about 95% hit rate on 200 contacts..
I must add it has only been that good since buying a brodgit car cradle so it positioned well.. obviously you have to turn stereo off
the only complaint i have with it is that when the voice speaks back to you to confirm what you have said I cant hear it very well..
does anyone know of any settings to improve audio levels..
cheers
stay happy
Hi Guys
I have upgraded my 'Voice Command' handsfree solution as follows.
1. Added an FM 'Sound Feeder' from Pocketpctechs, that connects to the xda via one of 2 different pocketpctechs audio adaptors.
2. Tune the radio to one of the 8 frequencies supported by the Sound Feeder and the xda then plays all audio output through the car stereo system. This works for all apps, including my Navman GPS and Media Player!. I also mapped a button (I used the record button) to Voice Command, so one press activates VC and I can initiate a call by voice from there.
The really nice thing about this arrangement is that if i have media player running through the system, and a call comes in, the music mutes automatically, the phone rings, and i can take the call. When you end the call, media player picks right up again!
3. For the microphone part, there are 2 options:
a. The one I am using right now, is to use the pocketpctech 'single' adaptor, that allows sound to play through the stereo, while keeping the mic of the xda active. This means the xda picks up your voice directly for voice command and telecons, while at the same time playing the sound you normally hear via headphones, through the stereo. This works great for the incoming voice, although you need to talk fairly loudly for the party calling to hear you well. Decent enough though...
b. The upgrade I will make this weekend is to use the 'dual' pocketpctechs adaptor. This one accepts the soundfeeder on one side, plus a regular 2.5mm heasdset on the other. This one disables the internal xda mic, and allows you to use the mic from the headset. So I plan to permantly position this mic (after cutting off the ear bud!) on the door pillar as in normal car hands free installs. This should improve the outbound sound a good bit....
Will let you know how I get on
Regards
Chris
In the end, the Parrot CK3100 car kit has its own built in voice recognition, so I have no worries
Great! I looked at the Parrot a while back. How much was it? Work ok?
Regards
Chris
Well, I've not really had chance to test it properly yet, seems to be good. Cost me £180 to have it fitted, the old one removed and a bit of extra power wired in for my GPS & PDA.
Hi Andy
Sounds good. Let us know how it works out for you. I am interested in how the bluetooth connection holds up. I am still having problems with my xda maintaining a connection with my bluetooth headset.

Hi all
As this is my first post I just want to say a big thankyou for all the contributers to this site, awesome information and keep up the good work.
I have been running Black Majik on my M3100 for a week or so now and have been really impressed. the only slightly annoying problem I have is with my BT Stereo headset (HTC BH S100) which I have had only a couple of days.
Listening to music and controlling the media player(s) (Audio Manager and WMP) is fine, the problem I get is answering/initiating calls from the headset. After a reboot of the phone, the headset works OK for both music and calls, but after turning the headset off/on, the call handling functions don't work although wireless stereo does - its as though the phone loses the headset profile but not wireless stero. Stopping/Starting the BT stack from comm manger seems to reinstate the headset functions but this is frustrating!
I have searched multiple forums but have not found anything of use yet!!
Does anyone have any ideas
Thanks in advance
M.
+1
same problem
please help us
Up ... Same WM6 version, same problem ... with a Nokia BT Headset, and a Sony Ericsson too ...
Thank you.
guess i have a worse problem then. cant hear my phone ring from my BT HS. not that ive tried to figure it out. i can live without listening to music. but it would be interesting to know how everyone is able to hear their phone ring from their headsets. im thinking its because of my headset. i have a moto hs810. does anybody concur?

I have the same problem and I've tried a P3600 and kaiser and the same problem.
As merlynuk wrote the problem seem that the HD lose a free hand function of it profile and only a reset and sometime a pairng od device solve it.
It's for me important to use this function in car or call a voice command but the MTB button seem not work.
bought this HD because belived it would be perfect with a HTC PDA but it's not really.
Do you have some suggestion ?
Do you believe it's better to sell this HD and to buy another ?
Someone know a HD device thet work perfectly as free hand and function as a call, a start a vocal command etc etc work fine ?
Regards
aladino
got the same problem: bought the HTC BH S100 after my touch cruise cause I thought to have no problem with vocal commands, but it doesn't work. music, player control, phone and pairing are perfect but no vocal dialling..
how can we solve this??
Hi all,
I come from the TP2 and used my jabra JX10 9old, 1st version) on it.
The system sounds were forwarded to the headset without problem. I heard the noticiation, alarm or ringtone as if it was coming from the internal speaker.
Connecting the same headset to the DHD now, I hear only a 'signal' informing that I have an incoming call.
Deciding that I need a newer headset to go with the new phone I tried a few headsets but get the impression that it is not possible to hear system sounds. Can somebody please confirm this possibility with any of the BT headsets around.
If I put an 'oldphone' as a ringtone, I want to hear that 'oldphone' when I get a call. Same more incoming emails, sms etc. Please advise which headset is capable of doing so.
I just tried the Jabra extreme. Music is being forwarded if I play it, but the system sounds are not coming through, this although the BT settings show that phone and media sounds are forwarded to the headeset.
with many thanks for a good advise,
Ruud
this is a tricky one... have you installed any custom roms etc?

Hi fkofilee,
no, I am still on stock-rom, purchased in Russia from one of the official dealers proposed on HTC's website. I am quite sure that I am fully original.
For the moment I am not into flashing another ROM. I came to the HDH with the main hope that this continously flashing would stop. It just takes too much time and it never was perfect anyway.
About the topic at hand :
I now have tried Jabra JX10 series 2, Jabra extreme and Jabra Stone on my DHD. All of which show that they forward phone and media, but none of them is giving me ringtones, notifications & alarm at the moment they sound at the phone.
If this is standard Android, next question would be if somebody has an additional software which is able to arrange this, I would be happy to try.
regards,
Ruud
Still hoping
Hi all,
added the Plantronic Voyager Pro to the mix, same result. Not even showing phone audio and media, but only phone audio. Though it was certainly a better fit for my ears, the fact that one more is lacking the result I am seeking was not convincing enough to purchase it.
Anyone please, who is able to get system sounds through Bluetooth. I really liked it with my TP2, to be "in meetings" not disturbing anyone, but being informed about all that my phone usually barks at me.
Regards,
Ruud
I am buying the Samsung Galaxy Nexus and I would like to buy also a Bluetooth headset which comes with a microphone like the Sony-Ericsson MW600.
Since I live abroad I pratically don't use the internal phone function to call people, but only voip applications like Skype or Sipdroid.
I heard that these kinds of applications don't support the microphone included in the bluetooth headset, so only the internal microphone of the phone works.
Before buying that headset I would like to know if this is true or not.
Thanks a lot,
Garret88
Unfortunately you are right. I have used the Sony Ericsson MW600 with various versions of Skype for Android on a few different devices including Samsung Galaxy Note. Only the Bluetooth audio works with Skype for Android, but NOT the microphone. This defeats the purpose of a Bluetooth headset. I believe this is a Skype problem. The only workaround at the moment is to restart the Bluetooth in the middle of a Skype call. Even then, the resulting audio/voice quality/lag sucks big time. Ask for both Skype and Sony to resolve this issue FIRST before investing in your money. This is the flagship Sony Bluetooth headset after all.
I think I tried skype and it works. When was it the last time you tried?
This is a self inflicted problem. :crying:. When I took apart my OneX to do the WiFi fix, I must have damaged the connection to the main MIC used for phone calls. Now my WiFi works brilliantly, but no-one can hear me on calls.
Just to be clear:
A wired headset with MIC works OK.
A Bluetooth headset or car kit works OK
Recording video still records audio OK. Assuming this is because it uses another MIC in the handset.
Unless someone has an idea how this can be resolved in a different way, the sort of thing I would be looking for is a utility to switch the MIC to the one used for recording video. Then I could use it with different ROMs too.
Any help or thoughts? Please?
PS: I have reviewed all the threads about tools and mods for something like this, but can't find anything. Was hoping the audio mod tools might do this but looking in detail, they tend to only improve what you hear, not what is recorded.
