Sup All,
forgive me for the easiness of this question but Ive been looking for a while and cant find an answer. Its definitely different on ICS, than other/all android builds. So, is there a way to prevent voice actions from being enabled when you press the button on a blutooth headset? Even a way/app to reprogram the button press shortcut? I was listening to a podcast, pressed the headset button to pause it but I guess I double pressed it or something and it opened the voice actions window, which I wasnt paying attention, mumbled one word and it called an ex. SWEET! I hung up and am pissed this is a "feature", as, Im sorry, the voice actions alone are not that up to par, and on bluetooth, theyre atrocious. Any ideas? I like and use the google search button but Im not very impressed with the dictation of text messages, etc. The voice recognition just does not seem to be up to par, Ive gotten some pretty "are you kidding me?" results when trying to text via voice. But of all things, I dont want to use the whole "call blah blah blah" feature, or any voice "actions" over bluetooth. I want to keep voice search (like only for web searches, etc) but I dont want my phone to interpret what I say and then dial the non-appropriate number. Any apps to reassign the voice actions button or just disable it as a whole? I love the GNex but this ruined my night and Ill die happily if I can have bluetooth in, press the one button and not be worried that its gonna dial someone. Also, Im using a bose BT2, so it doesnt have all the nifty apps like a jawbone or what not, but I like the call quality. Im pretty sure a jawbone has an app that can change the hotkey presses but thats not applicable to me.
I talk into the microphone normal, but I've had reports by people that during a phone call they can't hear me unless I scream.
The exact same thing happens when I use the Google voice-to-text thing on MSGs. I literally have to scream for it to pick up my voice.
I'm on Sprint, and I doubt it's a carrier problem because my iPhone never did this. Any ideas?
Hello? Does anyone have any suggestions?
You can Automatically put a Call on Speaker using Voice Command
Good find, thanks!
Found it but only by accident.
Oho, very usefull, i'm gonna try it on lumia 800
Very cool. Anyone know if you can answer a call on a sleeping phone with a voice command? That would be handy for an incoming call when driving. Something like "answer call on speaker".
Or you can just click the speaker button.
I always accidentally put it on speaker mode using voice command but never knew how to actually trigger it

Or, you know, just drive the car?
Why dont we make an exclusive thread for discovering features like this?

Well I'm glad they did, I had no idea you could do this. And it saves from that second of looking down while driving to hit the speaker button (sometimes it's just not an option to pull over).

I sure hope you're not driving in the Miami area. Ever heard of bluetooth?

but its always an option to not answer the phone
Well after some Minutes I figured out the German command:
I didn't work for me very well, he told many times, that he can't find the contact, because he recognizes "lautsprecher" (ger. speaker) as part of the name.
"ruf X an auf Lautsprecher" (ger. "call X on speaker") did not work at all, I had to say: "ruf X an, Lautsprecher" (ger. "call X, speaker") but even that didn't work very well, like I said above.
Anyway, good to know that there is a function for that, but I think I will still use the button for that.. :/
Thanks anyway!
Cool
Press the Windows phone button and say " What can I say" when it asks you to speak.You get the complete list of commands that you can say to you phone.Be sure you scroll to the left and the right to see the other commands other than call.
I remember stumbling upon this by accident when I said "Call Michael R." but slurred momentarily afterwards, and then my WP responded by saying "Calling Michael R. on Speakerphone". Cue epic "WTF?". Still, it's an impressive feature to have.
A thing for headset users (like I have the HTC headset for my TITAN), the "Play/Pause" button on the headset may also be able to trigger Microsoft TellMe. A tip for this though, if you're planning to do this I recommend going to Settings -> Speech -> and make sure "Use Speech when the phone is locked" is checked.
P.S. I do have the contact's full surname in the entry, but have simply put the initial there for the purposes of respecting his privacy.
thanks for an information thread
The way windows phone handles voice commands over Bluetooth is one of the big selling points for me. I like the way it reads out SMS over my car speakers and gives me the option to respond by voice. I also have an HTC one x but never use it in the car (I.e most of my working day) because I cannot find an android app that replicates this function with the ease if use that wp has built in out of the box.
(P.S. before any flame wars start, I am not not knocking the One x or android, I love the hi Def screen, some of the games and the text ref low in the browser, the industrial design is also second to none IMHO.)
So after having a listen to the response to pressinf the centre (windows button) and saying "What can I say?"
You can do the following (some things are more obvisou that others):
"Call xxx" - preforms the standard call a contact. The only difference is that the first time you say a contact name you have to select which of their numbers you wish to associated with their name.
"Call xxx, mobile" This way you are accepting they have more than one number so you could choose to say call and a different phone type I assume.
"Call xxx, on speakerphone" Well this one is what started this thead in the first place.
"Redial" Another pretty obvious one really.
"Find xxx in xxx" Find something somewhere.
"Find Weather in xxx" like Siri on iOS proving you weather info.
"Open xxx" or "Start xxx" Enables opening an app handsfree. This works well with "Hey DJ" which is a handsfree music player. (Nice!).
"Text xxx" I like this one, as it enables you to text someone handsfree.
During a call you can start speach and say "Call" to call another person or "Press" to press a number.
Hope this helps those that haven't or don't want to listen to the "What can I say?" response.
This is based on using a Nokia Lumia in the UK.
Have you ever been talking to someone and they say a word or just go "hmmmm" and suddenly it sounds like they pushed one of the numbers on their dial pad? Like, "We were walking down the street, and, uh...BOOOOOOOP."
It's obvious to me that these people are NOT pressing a number. It happens when they are calling from their iPhones, their landlines, their flip phones, etc. And it's usually women who are talking, not men,
I think it may be something within the Nexus hardware or perhaps within the Sprint network where it hears a certain tone in a voice and it interprets it as a dial pad tone.
Yes, this thread is question... several actually:
1. Anyone else experienced it?
2. Is there a fix for it?
3. Am I crazy?
4. Are the women in my life conspiring to drive me crazy?
Anybody having issues with hey Google? When I say it my phone hears it and the little assistant pops up at the bottom.. but then I have to press the microphone picture to use it instead of just talking like I have with every other phone I've had since that feature came out. IDK what I can do to fix it.
