Have searched this forum and The Market for an app that can auto answer a call on an HTC Desire but failed to find one, I am at a loss as to why this basic function is missing on android.
Does such an app exist, is one in development ?
There is one. I used it once or twice but deleted it as it does not work on 2.2 It was from the market cant remember the name tho.
The only one I found on the market was AutoAnswer by EverySoft but that does not work on the Desire.
Think it was safedrive.ly it reads your messages and auto replies if you want. Not sure it works on 2.2 tho. Deffo works on 2.1
The only one that came up was Safe Driver this one uses GPS to disable your phone when you are driving does not auto answer.
The other one I found was Drive Safely this only reads texts and emails no auto answer on calls
i tried to find auto answer when i first got my hero last june to no avail.
app called car mode was the best i could find.
you only have to tap answer when a call comes in whilst driving which is safe enough for me and it automatically goes onto loud speaker.
in the end it was a better solution as was a couple of calls i didnt want to take over the year
Any workround or app available for autoanswer ?, tried autoanswer 1.5 which does not work on 2.2
Tasker can 'Take Call' in self defined circumstances, based on time, locations, connections , etc,etc

On pretty much every phone I've ever previously owned, if I call someone who's in the middle of another call, I get a little beep and a notification displayed on screen saying "Call Waiting" or equivalent. On my HTC Desire, my first Android phone, there is no notification. Is there any way to make it tell me?
Is your Call Waiting (in Call settings) notification ON?
If by that, you mean:
Settings>Call>Additional Settings>Call waiting
then, yes. But that setting is for me recieving another call while I'm already on the phone. What I asked for is a way to be notified if the person I'm calling has me on call waiting.
I'm sorry, it seems I didn't pay enough attention to your original post.
I apologize but I don't know the answer.
Yea I found this pretty annoying also. Would be cool to find an APP on the market that notifies you with a beep or a vibration that another call is coming in
I don't know about you, but I get a beeping notification if someone's calling me while I'm on the phone. Might be done by my provider though. I switched to this provider at the same time as I switched to this phone.
Well I got used to Bluetooth dialing (put BT to ear, push button, say "NAME" and it dials", but unfortunately the Desire and Android 2.1 do not offer it right now
My provider might have something to do with my "no notification" when another call is coming in. Hopefully Froyo 2.2 can be released soon because I think it does offer BT support
there is
I have noticed this bug with the original ROM too. After rooting and installing Pays ROM the beep was ok, loud and clear.
Also on my current ROM (DeFroST 0.6) call waiting work.
(Payed) App from the market: http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/com.droidea.callwaiting/
dboy0911, you made the same mistake ferus initially made. I'm not asking for the notification if someone's calling me. I want the notification if I'm calling someone who's already on another line.
i miss that in android, like my nokia,its defenatly not operator option since the same sim was on my nokia and it did notify me
Yeah, Rabia seems to be the first person getting exactly where I come from with this..

whats the use my friend, still no fix to my knowledge
Galaxy Tab does it so its possible, I actually found out that all Samsung phones even windows ones will actually display call waiting msg if ur calling someone who's is on a call currently, I actually might go for galaxy my self unless someone try a Samsung Android on HTC
It is very important to display call waiting msg. Why HTC does not support this basic feature.
I just checked and there's an option for "Vibrate on call waiting" in CM7. Don't know if thats AOSP or CM specific though.
It's not in the AOSP.. Or at least not as of FroYo, which is what the HTC Desire officially has as the latest. I know this because my colleague has a Nexus One and it doesn't have that option either.
I see. A good excuse to start rooting and loading CM then :]

Sorry, but that's not reason enough for me to change my ROM. I'm very happy with Sense UI. Though I would like to try CM tbh.. Still not gonna try it though.

Bluetooth Voice Dialing is in the Froyo feature set.
I can't see this feature anywhere on the Desire after the 2.2 update. Anyone else?
I can't find it either...
really really annoyed about this!! when i bought the phone it was something I really needed! Was told it would be on the phone with 2.2 in a couple of months but now nothing!!! Grrrr!!!
I read somewhere that you can use the voice search do dial someone, and it actually works, but there are two problems:
1) Since the main objective of voice search is to search using google, you need to be on wireless or 3G to start using voice search, even if you don't want to use google at all. So if you don't leave your 3G active all the time, you'll have to activate it before launching voice search.
2) You can't launch voice search by pressing the action button on the bluetooth headset, so you still have to pull the phone out of the pocket to activate it and then give the command.
Those two problems pretty much makes voice search unusable as a replacement to a dedicated voice dialing dialog, because you always have to take the phone out of pocket and interact a lot with it to finally call someone. It's easier to just tap your contact's shortcut to call it.
It was in the leaked ROM that was floating around a couple of weeks ago too! My guess this will be coming in another update around the time that HTC release their car dock. Bloody gits.
in the prerelease 2.2 (LeeDroid) I am using if I press the talk button on the steering wheel it requests a voice command and then searches for whoever you said "call". But it its true that 3G MUST be activated.
Can anyone recommend a 2.2 ROM with HTC sense that has this feature? Is it a good idea for me to reflash do you think?
This was the one thing i was waiting for with the froyo release and it appears to be missing.
Im not seriously considering rooting my phone just to get this feature.
Can anybody recommend me a rom with this feature enabled?
I'm in the same boat, wasn't really bothered about rooting but now it looks like I'm going to have to!
I've emailed HTC on their support page, does anyone think I'm going to get a response?

HTC replied to me saying "we can decide what parts of the system are used and which are not".
Removing this from the release is ridiculous. It's so common now for use of hands-free kits to be compulsory, if not the only legal option.
It was my main reason to debrand and upgrade, only to find that it's been omitted.
Maybe some kind soul can manage to knock up an APK from a release where it was included (fingers crossed)
Well here's the response from HTC!
Not good really!
Hi Dave, Voice to text is only available in North America due to the limitations of the voice recognition software database that our phone uses. We are researching the possibility of expanding the coverage of the Voice-To-Text feature but we are still analyzing
the feasibility and currently have no schedule to relay this to you now. We have your contact information on our system and will contact you when we have a solution. Kind regards, Tom HTC

Don't tell me that HTC is not going to include this feature in Froyo! I bought my desire AFTER the announcement of Bluetooth voice dialing, and I thought I could wait for this to come in 2.2 update, and now they say they won't include it???? Are they crazy enough to omit one of the main features in Froyo??? What on earth are they thinking?!?!
Correct - they are NOT going to include it in Froyo 2.2
I have the official HTC version of Froyo that doesn't have it, and am rather upset as i would have rooted my phone to get this feature, but I was under the impression I didn't have to.
Now that I've updated to HTC's version not only do I still not have Bluetooth voice dialing, but I also don't have the option to root my phone anymore to get it.
Nice to see that they spent time on real things like a new android graphic, the way the lock displays and other useless but blingy stuff instead of items that were lacking that almost every other phone on the market has for granted.

If voice to text doesn't work, how does Google Voice search operate?
This is complete arse.
I thought that in the announcement Google said they were expanding it to work with different accents and languages?

I tried it a few days ago and thought it was terrible.
I've tried it and seems to work well, I've emailed the dev as well about the last comment but he said it uses the in built speech to text library so it will be as good / bad as any other android dialer
Hope that helps!

I am thinking about getting the One X but I do have a question first. I search the forums and read plenty of reviews to no avail. Does anyone know if the One X support the Bluetooth Message Access Profile(MAP). I would like the feature in my next phone to use with my Ford Sync system.
Me too. Though my Sensation does it pretty well. Never hurts to be sure...
It apparently does support it. I was able to see text messages on my BMW 550's iDrive screen earlier. During pairing, I got a MAP Access request.
However there appears to be some kind of bug. When you go to Advanced Options in Bluetooth Settings, the only thing you see if FTP Server. However briefly other options flash and then disappear. Once earlier the options 'stuck' but if you'd check them they wouldn't save.
Hopefully the forthcoming OTA fixes this. I was really hoping this phone would show contact pictures in iDrive. The Sensation supports this. I suspect something in Bluetooth needs to be enabled that is not. (I borrowed a Lumia 900 with WP7 and it did this -- quite cool.)
Can anybody else test to see if the Advanced Options menu does the same thing?
When you got the MAP Access Request, did you select the 'always allow' option too? If not go back through the pairing process again to fix this.

Still doesn't work, unfortunately. The options appear quickly and then disappear.
I cannot get Contact Pictures to work, nor E-mail. Text messages seem sporadic.
IT WORKS!
I just got the One X yesterday and it works perfectly for me with Ford SYNC and for the BMW iDrive in my wife's X5d. You are correct though, there does not seem to be any literature or documentation stating this as part of the phone's capability. My selling agent was willing to send me the One X to try out over the weekend. To my surprise and contentment, I finally have an Android phone working with AT&T and all of my BT capabilities. No compromises.
Any tips on getting it working? I enable "Message Access" in the Bluetooth advance setting. My Sync system won't Download unread messages and it won't let me send text message from the car. The phone hasn't pop up with a allow MAP access request dialog either. Any idea what I am doing wrong?
I am also using the ATT One X. Not sure if thats the problem or not.

I currently drive the BMW X3 F25 with advanced bluetooth connectivity , and although sms and phonebook works fine the email function in the office menu just states"No messages with the current filter." Before buying my HTC one X I checked the bmw compatibility site and saw that the HTC sensation supports this function with no problems at all, however after they updated their site to show the One x it does show no email support for one x but support with the sensation. What is really bugging me is what makes the sensation so special to allow the email support that the One x cant offer?
Is there any custom roms out there that might give me that support?
Are you on a specific custom rom allowing you ALL of your BT capabilities in your wife's car (inc Email) ?
Kind regards
Sorry to bring up an old thread, but I'm hoping to get some help here. I have been having trouble getting the MAP settings for my One X to stick to connect to my Toyota Entune. I will set up the advance settings in bluetooth, but it will not save. Entune is set up to go. I just can't get the settings to say on the phone. Anyone had this issue and was able to fix it?
I am a sensation user and before I rooted my phone most of the features worked. I have been looking high and low for more info in this so I will give you what I have.
4.4 (KitKat) has native support for MAP (Message Access Protocol) which is part of the Bluetooth stack. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth_profile#Message_Access_Profile_.28MAP.29)
Most Makers of the phones (HTC) have to set the profiles accordingly. The sensation had it for the HTC email app that was part of stock because it was built with that MAP profile setting from HTC. My car could not send a text message but it could receive them. After loading KitKat on my Sensation I can now send the messages but I think Google hangouts is messing with the receiving side of it. I am still trying to wrap my head around this but there you go...
Good luck!
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!
Hi,
this might be a stupid question, but I miss a feature on my HTC Desire after i changed ROMs. (Previously LeeDroiD 3.08 or so, I tried various JB ROMs recently).
When I used Bluetooth voice dial on the old ROM, I got feedback from the phone, as in the application read back to me "Calling John on mobile now".
None of the new ROMs i tried have this anymore and I really liked this. See on a motorbike it can be difficult to read the display, especially when you have the phone in the pocket of the jacket. Now I only know that my phone picked the wrong contact when the other person picks up.
Can someone tell me what the functionality is called and maybe point me to the right apk that i need to extract from any HTC ROM to enable this again?
Thanks lads!
