Hiya, I got a BT800 for Christmas from my lovely wife and am having a hell of a time getting it to activate voice dialling!
Having paired it and chosen to use it as the hands free device, I can use it for phone calls that I start from the phone, but the Exec doesn't do anything when I 'tap' the answer button (one beep) or squeeze it(beep, pause, beep).
I've even just restored the original rom (hard-reset, basic install) and it still doesn't do anything...
Did anyone else have this problem? Is there a stage I'm missing out?
Hope someone can help, I've a nasty feeling it's too late to return it to Amazon...
Might be a daft question, but have you added your voice tags (or re-added after hard reset)?
Thanks for the reply, I was never intending to use voice speed dial (preferring voice command by miles) and so didn't record any tags. Even without any, you should still get the app launching and a message that there aren't any tags recorded. My problem was that I wasn't even getting that.
I can't claim to have solved the problem, but at least I no longer have it! I reinstalled the original O2 ext_rom and did a nice clean "Basic" install then put my customised ext_rom back and reset again. Having paired the headset I was able to launch voice speed dial from it, so went ahead and installed voice command, made the registry change to launch VC from the headset and am laughing.
I wish I knew what had caused the problem so I could avoid doing it again! I suspect that it was an attempt to restore my bluetooth registry settings on a rebuild that was the cause... Certainly I didn't try to set it up automatically the second time round and it *did* work, but there are too many variables to be sure.
HTH someone!
The Universal has no NATIVE support for Voice Dial using Voice Command. You have to do the following so it will work via VOICE COMMAND as it has to bypass the Installed Vocie software:
Install Voice Command to the default location.
Fire up a registry editor
Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\VoiceCommand
Modify the string marked "path" from the default \Windows\SDDialer.exe to \Program Files\Voice Command\VoiceCMD.exe
This should now launch Voice Command
Maybe you made a mistake like missing a letter?
If you have done the above and it still doesnt work, then i'm just as lost as you are
sorry, browser problem, message was posted twice
I'm using the BT800 with my Qtek 9000 (Original ROM) and don't have any problems with voice dialing. After pressing the button on the Jabra within a second or 2 the voice dialing application is started, I hear a start sound, speak the name and it automatically starts dialing.
I have installed the latest BT800 firmware (becaus of the international dialing bug) and had not tested this functionality with the original firmware. Which firmware are you using?

Which button do you have to press to activate the voice dial? The left or the right button under the LCD? Is it Tap or Hold, the button i mean?
@jorgee: 1st post - thanks, that's what I meant earlier when I said I'd done the reg fix and it all worked
2nd post - to activate voice dialling on a UK O2 Exec, you press the 2nd button from the left on the front of the device - next to the camera button.
@ MvanIperen, I'm using the latest BT800 firmware too, when I did a couple of rebuilds, the problem went away and it now behaves as you describe.
@ all, thanks for the replies! It was just me after all! Mental note: Mess with the registry at your peril!

I meant is there anyway to activate voice dial from the headset? Can i only activate it by pressing the voice command button? I mean lets say my phone's in my drawer and i have the BT800, do i have to pull out the phone to be able to use the voice dial?

Maybe I misunderstand what you're asking.
You posted the registry change to make this work higher up the page.
Pressing the answer button on the headset does fire up Voice Command but only if the display is open or in portrait mode. If it's closed in your pocket protecting the screen then it won't work
I've never installed voice command, i was talking about the built in voice dial application. If the QTEK is in my pocket, and i want to call someone, which button on the headset/BT800 do i press to activate voice dial? And is it push or push and hold? Do i ghet any kind of audible warning telling me i can start speaking the voice tag?
I hope this time i am a bit clearer, sorry for the previous confusing post.

On the BT800:
- To activate voice dialling (whether using MS Voice Command or the 'standard' voice dialling app) using a BT800 headset, press briefly the button nearest the headset microphone.
- To redial from the headset the last number dialled, press and HOLD the button nearest the headset microphone.
This works for me whatever situation the Exec is in: open, closed, portrait, landscape. I'm using the default voice-dialling software, not the MS one. Hope this helps.
Thanks SiliconS,
That was the answer i was looking for, sorry i had to bother you guys instead of reading the manual as my manual is in Spanish and i am only a beginner-intermediate level reader.
Again THANKS!!!! Very appreciated
Are any of you folks running WM2003SE? See, I was able to make that registry change and do a soft reset and have Voice Command working through the BT headset on my old machine, but it was running WM2003 (not the second edition version). From what I have read, SE doesn't seem to like that registry change, as when you make it, all that will happen is the connection opens when you tap the button on the HS, but the ability to use VC is not there.
I know there must be some way to do this. Any opinions or suggestions would be fab!
Thanks much!
Is there any program to record calls for HTC TyTN especially. The Resco, Vito and etc. don't record the voice of caller. PM Recorder also,..
There must be the different technology.

Never tried, but...
Never tried it myself, but Gears seems to have come up with one way to do it.

Not neat, and not perfect, but if it works it's free!
And just like all the other apps like the OP mentioned,
They don't recored the caller unless on Speaker.
"1- First up, get your camera ready. Set it to "video" but don't press record just yet.
2- Call the person you want to record.
3- Next, press and hold the green "call" button to put them on speakerphone.
4- Now press record on the video camera."
Thread after Thread on this topic all come to the same conclusion;
It's not possible w/o speaker phone on.

Originaly posted this in the Nike Accessory section, but this device has worked on a couple of my phones so I thought it would be great to post here a well. I decided to write this post after testing for two weeks to make sure my excitement has held up to the initial expectations and to see if any woes present itself. So far I stand by my initial comment; this is the best Windows Mobile accessory I have found to date.
I originally bought this device as a GPS for my car and thought the bluetooth capability would be an added bonus. The handsfree capability of this device is by far the most impressive use of bluetooth I have seen. I have only tested this on the HTC Touch Dual 20 Key (Nike), compatibility and functionality may vary for other devices. So far no real problems; it connects, it works as stated and quite well too.
Highlighted capbilites in order of importance/functionality (to me):
(see screen shots for examples)
Handsfree Bluetooth carkit
Phonebook retrieval with Spell/Search Function
(dynamicaly uses phone address book not programed GPS contacts)
On Screen Dailer/Phone Pad.
Incoming Call Notification (image shows number but also displays name)
Call History (From phone, not GPS)
Phone Status (Signal/Battery)
Loud Speaker
Great Mic w/External Mic hookup
Voice Comand/Dail Compatible
General use description - Use images below for reference:
Device connects within 6-20 seconds after initial GPS bootup(about 20 seconds)
When calls come in there is an easy to use screen with Answer or Ignore option.
To make calls goto the main screen, press phone icon and select either phonebook where you can spell name and it will narrow down, or you can voice dail or use your call records or look up Point of interest and select dail from the results.
Call options let you pull up the dailer, mute the phone or transfer audio back to the phone while you are in a call. You can navigate while in a call, press the red call status button in the map mode to to see the status or end a call quickly.
I have so much more to tell you about but I will leave with this and for anybody to ask questions.
Like everything in the world there are always flaws or downsides. Here are a few (not necisarily flaws but fixes that would have made it better)
I listed voice dail last because the use is great but the audio feedback/voice prompt is quiet and I felt was least usefull in comparison to the other features. (using MS Voice Command 1.6) Voice recognition works great with the Nike but it requres a few key presses to initiate through the on screen buttons.
This GPS can send and receive text messages and read incoming aloud but this feature is not compatible with this phone. Maybe we could fix this another time friends!
Slow Device Bootup (20 secs), but fast paring most times after bootup. I have this device permanetly mounted and the slow boot doesnt bother me ever; its rare when I get a call before I can even pull out of the garage but If I do it will connect within seconds.
Thats all for now but if your interested this device retailed for about 600usd, I got mine on clearance for about 350usd.
Have a good one

How do you get Voice Command 1.6 to respond? I have a Nuvi 680 and Tilt but nothing happens when I press Voice Dial.
I had this happen a few times, so I spent some time trying to figure out how to repeatedly reproduce it. It wasn't too hard.
1) Turn on a youtube video (I think that anything that used the phone's loud speaker would work).
2) Turn your media volume up to max.
3) Hold down the search button to bring up Voice Search.
I suddenly hear static and garbled audio.
4) Cancel (because I only accidentally pressed that button in the first place)
and the static and garbled audio stays around.
After that, I can go to most any audio app (visual voicemail, music beta, pandora, etc) or just get a notification sound from my phone and it will be complete static and garbage.
The first time I fixed it by playing a voicemail via visual voicemail through the normal speaker and then changing it to the loud speaker. That doesn't work every time though. I'm guessing that a reboot would also fix this.
I tried to reproduce this on my other TMO SGS2 both with the Voice Search shipped with the phone and the update from the market. On the one phone it happens with both versions and on the other, it never happens. I'm not sure that this is a hardware issue but I don't have a good explanation either way.
I've tried this a few more times today with a number of different apps and Voice Search and it hasn't reproduced itself. Most apps, like Google Music and Pandora, stop audio output when Voice Search is activated. Only YouTube seems to just ignore the Voice Search and keep going.
Edit: I exchanged my phone and this doesn't happen on the new one. Seems like a bad hardware issue.
So in the dialer settings, for answering/ending calls, I've got "using voice commands" checked so that if I have my hands full I can answer an incoming call by saying "answer".
That said, this feature is of little value if the speaker phone isn't also automatically enabled (at least it's of little value unless you have a bluetooth headset on or something).
Is there a way to get the speaker phone to come on with a voice command or, better yet, automatically when I answer a call using a voice command?
fwiw, I'm on a retail variant running the lollipop update.
Thanks!
