Hi guys, I've searched everywhere I know and found apps like JAYS headset control which has given me volume control and the like on this one button headset but coming from the iphone world back to android I find it extremely frustrating that I can't configure a long press on the wired headset to open up voice dialer or even better Vlingo. I'm on 4.02 stock. I live in China and ride a scooter most places and constantly have the headset on. Bluetooth is not an option here because of the noise. So, is there an app I am not seeing that gives me full headset control and configuration?
Thanks!
OK, have progress, after posting this question I found an app that works! It's called Headset Button Controller, there is a trial version and it successfully starts Vlingo and tells you the time in any number of configurable button presses. Now there is nothing I did on my iPhone 4 that I'm not doing better on my GN...

Hi,
I have an issue with voice search and voice dialer app. I recently came from a SGS with cm9 and these features worked well. I replaced it with a gnex and it does not work well. I am on stock ICS (rooted).
When I use my Bluetooth earpiece I am able to hear commands and it seems to work reasonably well. When I use it over the speaker or connected to my car Bluetooth I do not hear commands and I get off the wall searches.
Any assistance or thoughts on this?
Thanks
I just received a Galaxy Nexus with Jelly Bean on it. Since it has the same awful voice dialer that I'm used to on previous versions of Android, I've attempted to replace it with a few different alternatives.
The problem I'm running into is that even with these alternatives installed, I don't get a choice of what app I want to handle the bluetooth headset button being pressed to dial a call. It always launches the stock voice dialer.
I've never had a phone with ICS on it, so I don't know if that was the behaviour there, but on my old G2 with Gingerbread (and Froyo before that), I could choose what handler I wanted for the bluetooth button press.
Does anyone have any idea if there's some way around this?
ICS was using the voice dialer which was far superior dialer than the Jelly beans Google voice search..I tried jelly beans dialer with my blue and s4 speaker phone..It is terrible. I reverted back to ICS.
Same problem here, I've been searching for a solution. The best yet is to use Cyberon Voice Commander, an old program (used in WM 6.5) but does the work great.
However it doesn't support bluetooth headset button...
I really dumb, a software so new with a bug so old.
Maybe tasker can intercept the Bluetooth command and start the app you want?

Great idea. How ever I cannot find an BT headset button action in tasker, I have to get more familiar with it.
I was trying to see if the BT could be mapped on android or if google dialer can be overridden. I used to change the program name in WM 6.5 so it would open the right one.
An old thread, but you are looking for the app 'bluetooth launch'.
Hello,
I am having an issue using a bluetooth headset to dictate with my keyboard (currently using Swiftkey). I want the
bluetooth headset microphone to be used for audio input. Under voice search for speech there is a setting to
use bluetooth audio input and this does work fine. However when using the keyboard voice to text it uses the
phone microphone for audio input. Is there a setting somewhere that I can change this? Thanks.
For some reason when I try to use the handwriting recognition the Samsung Keyboard freezes in S-Note. Any suggestions?
