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!
I switched to Tmo SGS2 (Stock rom rooted) from my Vibrant (Bionix V2) a few days ago. With my vibrant, when I long press the button on my Jawbone ICON bluetooth headset, it would start Google Voice Command even the screen is locked and I can call someone without touching the phone. With Tmo SGS2, the Vlingo Voice command would not start if the screen is locked. If I unlock the screen, Vlingo Voice Command would start and I can use voice command to make a call.
Is there a way so I can configure Vlingo to accept voice command even the lock screen is on?
Better yet, anyone knows how to get the Google Voice Dialer back? I tried Market but it is not there.
Thanks.
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.
(1) A long press on the headset button takes me to Google Now. I'd like it to take me to S-Voice instead for hands-free control of the phone. I can't find a setting for that. Does anyone know if one exists?
(2) When you use S-Voice to place a phone call, is there a way to have S-Voice ask for confirmation before dialing? Or else to cancel the dialing via a voice command?

To bring up s voice you have to double tap the middle button to open it. Not sure about your second questions I don't use s voice, I prefer google now over it.

What is the headset button? Does anyone know how to use s voice to set phone to silent?
Hello everyone
I've been struggling for a few hours now... to get my voice button on the headset to activate Google assistance.
At first it opened Svoice then i tried all sort of programs like Bluetooth launcher and Hint2Search, also checked out every possible options on the phone/google/plt hub (the plantronic app).
And the best result I've gotten so far is the launch of Google now (which is different from assistant)
So as you may have guessed, my question is how do I get google assistant on (same as when i hold my home button) when i hold my headset button.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 edge // Android 8.0.0]
Any help is very appreciated,
Have a good day

red button on boom
the way to activate Google Voice is by pressing the red button on the mic boom. Its not the button you use to answer calls. It is also the mute button.
