it's awesome to have so many rom's to put on our hermes...but i still haven't come across any single rom that works flawlessly with MS voice command over bluetooth...it seems not many people care about voice dialing then
so do u guys use msvc? if so, what rom? i have searched few threads and some people claimed that this or that rom works but they don't atleast for me..after reset or day after...all stops work1ing...
please help me find my dream rom!!
I don't know how many times I have answered this but it depends on the headset and what version of MS VC you install and what hacks.
I use the Jabra BT8010 and everything works fine for me. I can not live without voice command its the first thing I install..
My ROM info is below..
i use VC 1.6 and plantronics 320...my brother has treo 750 and plantronics work flawlessly with vc...i dont understand y not on hermes?
Basicly the MS BT stack sucks and it doesn't appear like they are worried about fixing it. If you want pretty much all sounds going to the bt headset then its gonna have to be one that has the AD2P profile along with the standard headset profile.
I use VC 1.6 and a Jabra, though it doesn't work very well, I have to shout the name, and it still brings up the wrong contact. Any advice most welcome

I guess replace the headset I dunno. I talk normal and mine does damn good. If its loud or something i have to speak up and be clear but thats normal..
when talking to people headset works grand, but when voice dialing it brings up wrong name.....could be my lisp!!!! lol
Any advice welcome
All,
I've just upgraded from WM5 to WM6 with HTC Home RevROM, which is excellent, however, I have this strange issue.
First, I paired my laptop through Internet Sharing over a Bluetooth PAN - works perfectly.
Second, I paired my Jabra BT2020 earpiece.
As soon as the Jabra was paired, the list of devices under Settings->Bluetooth->Devices was empty. Not even the words "Add new device" is present........
I have checked, and I can still continue to use my laptop through Internet Sharing, and I can also use my Jabra earpiece to take phone calls.
Switching the phone off/on and Soft Resets do not solve this problem. Only a hard reset will solve it - but then of course I have to re-enter everything - which I have done, only to have the problem re-occur, hence it is repeatable.
Has anyone else seen this issue and could help me with a solution. I have searched the forum (and Google) to no avail.
Many thanks,
BrianP6

Hey man, Unfortunatly this is a bug with my current kitchen, I believe he is using parts of it for making roms. I'm working to fix it soon in my kitchens.
Peace,
Josh
Thanks for the quick reply Josh,
Do you have any ideas at the moment as to the cause? Is it the number of connections, type of connections....... so that I can avoid the bug cropping up.
Also is there a workaround that you're aware of....
oh, and nice work chef
Cheers,
Bri.

This bug appears only when 2 or more devices get paired.
I've been trying everything, even abusalza himself suggested some module replacement. i'm working on replacing drivers and certain folders in sys in my kitchen but still nothing yet... so far not yet, but it's fixable, i just gotta figure it out.
Thanks Josh,
I guess you'd know this anyway, but for completeness and for the benefit of the whole forum.........
Even though the paired devices are no longer shown in the Bluetooth Devices window, and you can no-longer use your HTC to pair more devices, then so long as you carefully initiate the pairing from the other device, it will be recognised, PINs will be requested and devices configured appropriately. I have just done:
Audi A4 in car kit
Laptop via Internet sharing
Jabra earpiece
None appear on the Devices window, but all (so far) appear to work perfectly.
Cheers,
Brian.
I have had a similar nagging problem with my Motorola S9 and Hermes 100/Cingular 8525. After a new flash, I can pair the headset and the phone relatively easily. During first pairing, I am *not* prompted for the headset's PIN. Over time, switching between phone and music functions becomes more unreliable. Icons disappear while the headset is in use. Discontinuing a call with the headset results in audio resuming through the external speaker instead of the headset, etc.
Eventually, out of the blue, the headset will fail to pair; and I will receive a prompt to enter the PIN number for the headset. I enter the PIN and the phone refuses to accept that it's the correct PIN. From that point on, I'm screwed until I reflash the phone. It never works properly anymore.
This has happened across multiple ROMS, including some of Josh's that I've tried. It happened again the day before yesterday with one of TAI_Sw's ROMS I'm currently using. In this case the profile in Bluetooth settings appeared to be corrupted. The profile no longer read "Motorola S9". Instead it showed a series of block characters (like unsupported fonts). I was able to delete the profile, and, after multiple resets (hard and soft) the phone finally redetected the headset and we went through the configuration wizard again. It's been mostly working well since then.
Has this happened to anyone else?

Yep, I have experienced everything you mentioned at one time or another, even the square characters showing up in the device list.
I have gone all the way back to test Faria R32 ROM. It's amongst the best I've found for A2DP with the S9's along with some of PDACorners early ROM's. The drawback are that it doesn't have the 1% battery increase .dll cooked in and also still exhibits the "numbers for character during a call" bug.
It does have nearly 31 MB of memory free after fresh install though. (using 4MB pagepool - default is 6MB)

It frustrated me enough that I started building my own rom!
I released one version here that I have been running for quite some time with no issues in the bluetooth at all.
I need to tweak it a bit more to make it "polished" but it is very useable and stable. I just wanted to run it for a while to see how it is going to act over a longer duration before I continue to fool with it, and I have been rather busy here lately.
Well, if you have a magic potion, please share with the community. And, by the way, this is the only device I pair to my Hermes; so this may be different from the problem Josh and others have described.

i just installed your new v15 color(thanks very much for that release it looks great) and i definitely want to pair 2 devices with the phone. this has worked for me in whichever random wm6 rom i found on the web last year and i have been trying to find the right rom for me this week so my question: is this a random bug, is there a trick to doing it right or am i just plain sol?
Hmmm - doesn't happen on my ROMs...
The suspect things I'd be looking at in SYS are:
Bluetooth
Bth_A2DP
Bth_HID
Try replacing those folders with known good ones and see if the problem still happens...

No Magic potion! lol
I basically did what CRCinAU described. (His rom doesn't have the issue, and feels a bit faster than mine. But, I was looking to create "My perfect rom").
But I also replaced files in the redist folder with "bt" in their name, with files from a known working rom (anryl's 20755). Like I said I wanted to run the rom for a while, now I just need to go back and tweak and clean up some things in the rom before I make another release.

it is a really odd issue and seems to only affect the hermes... Here is the deal, Some chefs when porting sys grab the cplmain.dll to get the build number and keep some other items in their kitchen sys for stability purposes... I have noticed in my experience when porting, if the cplmain.dll does not match some other components with the same build number it will cause this issue. usually resist, shell, os, folders have been containing these sensitive items. so in short, if the issue is occuring cplmain.dll in redist folder does not match other components in your sys causign the conflict.
edit, and oh. i've tried replacing all bluetooth which had no effect.
So to fix this, the chef needs to report sys correctly and recook the rom.
anyone else noticing a challenge with their voice search?
i used to be able to say "Navigate to Los Angeles International Airport" and the phone would put the address into gps navigation... but now i get google searches for los angeles international aiport
"dail 6262164571" gets me a google search for "kbb 2164571"
"call elaine" gets me "did you mean... kbb, qb, etc"
AT LEAST these results are consistent.. but these results are consistently WRONG. anyone with any clues how to remedy?
******* EDIT / UPDATE FIX (6/1/2011) *******
I AM VERY HAPPY TO REPORT THAT I FOUND THE SOLUTION (that's worked for me) ON THE GOOGLE FORUMS!
i hope it works for you guys... see the fix here:
http://www.google.com/support/forum/...04a4aa5a04556c
pretty much (for the lazy):
On your phone, Start Google Voice
Click the Menu button and tap Settings.
Turn of "Personalized Recognition"
Tap the "Google Account Dashboard"
Scroll down to the "Speech" section and click the "Anonymize recognition"
Click "Yes..." when it asks if you really want to.
i was losing hope but someone answered my post finally on the google forums =D
er.. anyone with clues at least of what i can look into? or anyone ever experience anything similar?
Nope..I'm not having issues but you can try....
Settings - Voice input - Voice recog settings
Check "personalize recog" if its not checked
OR uncheck it if it is.
Worth a try at least.
thanks dude... i tried that -- no avail.
i think my voice search chops off like the first bit of what i'm saying... it's kind of funny. if i say "navigate navigate to los angeles international airport" it'll process fine, but if i say "navigate to los angeles international airport" it'll google search the "lose angeles international airport" LOL
maybe i'll need to do some stuff through the terminal ?? have no freakin' clue... this is weird tho
Don't know if this will have an effect but it fixes a lot of other apps when they act weird. Try clearing the data for Voice search.
Settings - manage apps - Voice search
Clear data and/or uninstall updates.
dkechitkid thanks for taking the time to help me out -- i'm very grateful!
i looked in the market for voice search and it looks like some other users might be experiencing something similar
not sure how to contact the "devs" of the app tho b/c it's google inc.. i'll figure it out.
Not a problem. Good luck and if you find a solution..report back to this post. You never know, I might run in to this one someday and need the fix.

Although I have an HTC Incredible, I am having the exact same problem; the kbb business and everything. This problem only started happening recently for me (last several weeks).
I just discovered (tonight) that if I say:
Test Navigate to Burger King
It drops "Test" and I end up with "Navigate to Burger King". The first word doesn't have to be "test", any word seems to do. Not perfect, but now I can at least get directions. This has been driving me crazy and I've tried everything to resolve it (flashing different ROMs, deleting everything on my sdcard, etc).
Update:
These people seem to be having the same problem:

The app does NOT have BT audio enabled. (A very bad lack of a feature.) It hasn't been updated recently either. And the phone mic works fine most of the time in my experience.

I never had this problem until recently and I have a different phone than the OP has (I have an HTC Incredible). I believe this is a problem with the most recent version of the voice search application (users posting to the discussions I linked to believe this as well).
Maybe I'll back up my current ROM and revert to an older version of MIUI to verify.
Edit: I didn't see Cache83's post before I wrote my post. I tried Cache83's solution and it fixed my problem. Thanks for chasing this one down Cache83!
Has anyone noticed that in the new OTA 4.24 that the speech-to-text function has become worthless/unusable? Worked fine in Froyo, but now speech-to-text is borked in GB????!!?!?! Has anyone found a fix?
Let me clarify. I'm using essentially the stock OTA rooted and deodexed. Perhaps the trouble came with the deodexing, I am unsure. Anyone running a 4.24 based deodexed ROM having trouble? You hit the mic icon, speak, and it basically acts like it didn't pick up any sound.
Ive been on the OTA since it came out and I have had no problems with this function. I use it frequently to send text messages should I happen to be driving. With the exception of the occasional misunderstood word, i never have problems. I use it to search the web, to navigate, all without consequence.
Perhaps rather than bashing the entirety of this function and assuming there is a fix for something that may only be your problem or your configuration, you could provide us with some examples of what youre trying to accomplish/say and what the end result is?

Ha...this is hilarius...a Junior member with 14 posts is trying to school a Recognized Develepor. I am pretty sure he doesn't have a config issue. I have had the same issue myself but only while driving, really wierd.
Steely man how are ya!
I have also not had any speech to text issues and I am completely unrooted s on and all. No wayback home yet...
does it always not work or only in some applications.
"This works written by voice to text"

It doesn't work for **** in any application. You hit the microphone and the pop-up windows comes up as normal and says speak now, but unless you literally yell at the phone it doesn't pick up anything.
I had an issue with no speech to text on the previous version of Fresh, finally updated to the 4.2 today and the problem went away.
Dunno.
the 14 post guy does have a valid point. The amount of posts you have on this forum mean NOTHING on how smart you are. lol. sorry guys. but it is true. for example, just because someone has worked for IBM for 20 years doesn't make him knowledgeable on any part of IBM. Just means someone was stupid enough to pay him for 20 years. lol
But need exact examples of exactly what's going on. Maybe when you trained your phone, it lost those settings after the update? retrain it.
REMEMBER EVERYONE, if you're saying "offensive" words on it, by default it blocks it.
If the personalized recognition is unchecked, then the settings didn't carry over from one to another. WHICH GUESS WHAT! THEY DIDN'T! HAHAHA. checking mine now, and all the settings didn't stick. also, the training for the skype didn't make it over too which has been messing up my writing on this phone.

Thanks, but I'm not a dumbass. Perhaps you should look at the threads I've created before providing any further commentary.
I don't see anywhere in this thread where I had a problem with 'training' 'offensive words' or any other 'settings' as you have mentioned. Please read more carefully in the future and refrain from posting unless you have an answer to the question posed.
Mine works if there is no back ground noise but if there is the slightest noise forget it it just says no voice heard my wife also has the same problem. But with here Russian accent it never gets the words right anyway. At least I know I'm not the only one.

I seem to only have problem while using it in my messenger app. That being said, I am using Swype and just chalked up my problems to using that keyboard because it works fine with the voice search app?

I haven't seen this mentioned but has anybody been able to use a BT headset to make, receive, and control calls? I can't. I get "this feature isn't supported on the connected phone" from my Blueant Q2. I know this was an issue with the Sensation and tried installing the voicedialer.apk but the phone won't allow it to be installed. I installed Vlingo but it crashes the phone and I have to do a reset to get it back. Thoughts? Experiences?
Update. We're apparently screwed. There's no native voice dialer included in ICS. I found one that installs but it loses its connection with the headset as soon as it starts. The folks on the Vivid forum are having the same issue. I tried the apps they discussed but they didn't work either. So I guess we wait for HTC to do something.

Yes... ish
I posted the same question a few days ago, but I got no reply, so I bought the phone anyway and tried. Vlingo sort of works with my jawbone earpiece. What I do not like at all is the fact that it does not confirm the command before dialling, or at least I did not figure out how to set it up properly, with the result of dialing the wrong contact in case of a misunderstanding.
I am really missing the simplicity of the blackberry voice dialler, amongst other things (mostly due, I guess, to my being a newbie with android). It was a no-brainer, whilst all the solutions I have seen for android are slightly more cumbersome.
Thanks to the other thread you linked I think I am going to try cyberon voice commander. I could save a couple of dollars/euros buying their voice dialler, but as far as I can see it needs training to attach voice tags to contacts. I don't like the idea of spending time to do that.
This seems like such a basic feature these days, why the hell hasn't it got it?!!!
this is very disappointing news. all the reviews i looked at mentioned voice dialing as a feature. and i just ordered a blueant q2. just tried using voice dial on my phone menu. awful.
i found a retail site online that says the blueant q2 is not compatible with the htc one x and identified several other bluetooth items (including blueant) that are. i decided to try the jawbone era and have it on order. not as many desirable (to me) features as the q2, but if it works, it will be a step up from nothing.
online site is htcpediadotcom. i don't know how reliable it is; first time i've looked at it.
I only just noticed yesterday that the phone would not send the bluetooth connection to the head unit in my car, even though it was connected to it.
I had to use the phones loudspeaker....
All of the Android phones in the past 2 years have worked fine!
