Bluetooth headset button solution?

Hi Guys,
Does anyone have a solution for the problem that the call button on bluetooth headsets won't work anymore with the TP2?
I use it in combination with Voice Command which worked flawlessly with the Touch Diamond, it's also been set to the same (and only) hardware key as the diamond but it won't work on the headset!?
It works fine when you press and hold the call button on the phone though...?
thanks!

When you say it works fine, do you mean through the BT headset, or just through the speakerphone?
P.S. I had an opportunity to talk with someone at Microsoft, and the response I received was "it's a known problem" and "wait for the next update or next version".
Alas...

i've edited it..
Strange problem cause the diamond had the same windows mobile version?

It's nothing to do with the WinMo version, it's a different BT Stack.
I have been playing with it today and will post an update in the tweaks thread once I have it patched.

Its not the BT Connection with a headset in general. That function works fine. I've tested it with my bt headset. Pressing the button I can accept the call and/or redial.
The problem lies within Voice Command itself. Once installed it gets assigned to the one and only hardware button configurable (hold call button for 3 seconds). The problem with that is when I do that with my BT headsets (normal and motorcycle one). They get powered off by pressing them for 3 seconds (same button). xD
I disabled Voice Command though due to the ringtone volume bug. Every 2 seconds the ringtone gets low for an announcement that you don't hear. Still waiting for a proper fix without all the work of replacing files.
I was looking for the original voice dialing function. But it really isn't there on the TP2. Voice Command is much better though. But damn that bug.

Sorry to disappoint you chrix, but the same hardware button (also hold) is used with the Touch Diamond.
Like I said they both look the same but with the TP2 it doesn't work, i'll be looking out for your patch beasty!

Another suffering TP2 user!
Hi guys,
I am also suffering with this issue as well. I did try and see if an old registry hack worked (changing HKLM\Software\OEM\VoiceCommand path=\Program Files\Voice Command\VoiceCmd.exe) but it didn't unfortunately. As previously pointed out in this forum, I think that this issue is more down to the fact that HTC seemed to have replaced the Bluetooth stack with their own proprietary version which isn't bad by all accounts, but does seem to lack this functionality. I might try and contact them to see if there's an update to resolve this but if someone does manage to create a patch for it, I'm sure there's a number of us who would be interested!
Cheers,
Barry

I installed voice command as well.
I'd already used the send button to put my lock on so it gave me another button (see attached).
Any body Know where the button is.

[Q] Disable bluetooth double tap redial

Greetings!
I have my Desire running MIui GB and it is fantastic.
I prefer using a bluetooth headset rather than talking to the phone directly.
The problem comes when the headset is inside a pocket ,and its buttons are pressed.
On a single button tap i had voice dial popping on the screen.
There were false matches by the voice dialing app and random calls were made.
This was easily disabled, simply by deleting VoiceDialer.apk from the ROM.
The other problem that i haven't found a solution yet, is when the button of the headset is pressed twice.
When that happens, the phone redials the last number, bypassing any lock screen. It is happening quite often actually.
Anyone knows how can i disable that?

Bluetooth headsets are suppose to go on your head, not in your pocket.... seriously.

Does your headset have key lock? Or u could buy an extra pocket for the headset.

Meaple in my places they say that " If you don't have something to say, don't speak". Seriously...

I found a workaround by chance just now. After I installed dialer for JAJAH service that I use I got a dialog asking what program to use after clicking BT button.
As long as i don't select USE BY DEFAULT it stops at that dialog and doesn't dial.

Please all, lets keep it on topic and with respect.
Thanks for your cooperation.

Vlingo on the Galaxy Nexus?

Hello,
This may or may not be possible... On my old Epic Touch 4G, Vlingo was came preinstalled. When I pressed the button on my BT headset VLINGO would start and automatically listen - I never had to touch my phone in any way to voice dial. Is it possible to do this on the GN? I can start VLINGO on my headset but I still have to look at the screen and tell it to start listening - which isn't ideal for driving or when my phone is in my pocket.
Thanks

You bet.
Menu - Settings - InCar Settings - Check the Launch on Bluetooth checkbox.
You know you say, "Hey Vlingo" and it starts listening then right?

Thanks - tried that - still says Tap & Speak before I can start using it. I want to not touch my screen at all.
Found it!!!!! - if you scroll WAY to the bottom under - find hotels, call taxi... There is an option for auto listen
Also I can't figure out how to change my default listener once I've set it to one -e.g if I've set it to VLINGO car mode - how do I switch it back.

That I do not know.

[Q] Rogers firmware, bluetooth voice dialing

Bluetooth voice dialing was working on the AT&T firmware, but it seems that since updating to the Rogers firmware it doesn't - pressing the call button (1 second press on my Jabra Extreme 2 headset) does nothing at all. Redial (double-tap on the headset) works as you would expect.
Some searching found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1558776
But this doesn't seem to help in my case - I've installed Bluetooth Launch, but the call button still does nothing. Even more strange, if I run "adb logcat" then nothing is logged when I press the call button (I expected to see something from the bluetooth subsystem at least saying it had been pushed, even if it couldn't launch an application to deal with it).
Voice search is installed, and works as you would expect when manually launched.
Any pointers would be appreciated - thanks.

From the previous thread did you disable any security lock on the phone ?
As that was the clincher for me, once disabled security code to unlock/wake up phone the BT button then actually does something when pressed.
Edit: Actually I supposed if the BT button doesn't do anything while the phone is already awake then its something else.

[Q] How do you get the GN2 to do voice dial with a bluetooth headset?

I'm on the road a lot and use a bluetooth headset all the time. On my HTC Amaze I was able to voice dial from my bluetooth headset but on the GN2 I can't get past the lock screen and when I do (get past the lockscreen) I have to use S voice. All I'm trying to do is use the voicedialing without ever picking up my phone. Unfortunately I've searched everywhere and can't find or figure it out. Is anyone else having this issue/know of a fix?

Simply pair your headset to your phone. Then with the phone on and you unlocked it, activate your BT headset while watching the screen. You'll need to accept a waver to activate it. Once it is actvated, you can use your BT headset. Youll hear a chime ti promt you to speak.

I gave that a try but unfortunately I still have to unlock the phone in order to use voice dialing. I use face recognition/pin & I'm using a Jawbone Icon.
The thing that annoys me is that I can do a redial(double press the call button) and it works without me having to touch the phone.

Having the same problem with BlueAnt Q1 and Q2. They both worked as such on my HTC G2:
(after all paired up and connected)
Push button on BT
Say "phone command"
BT responds "activating your phone's in-built voice commands on the connected phone"
G2 says "speak now"
I say "call Fred"
Phone dials Fred
On my SGN2:
(after all paired up and connected)
Push button on BT
Say "phone command"
BT responds "activating your phone's in-built voice commands on the connected phone"
Nothing happens
If I unlock the phone, S Voice is activated
I have some other BT devices, I'll see if they fare any better, maybe it is an issue with BlueAnt?

This is the same problem I have with the GN2, I've switched to a pattern lock and now I unlock my phone before using the Bluetooth. It defeats the purpose of being hands free. Once I get a car dock I'll go back to face unlock but this isn't very good. Luckily it's an easy work around and is probably one of the biggest problems I have with the phone. lol

Go to S Voice settings > check wake up in lock screen > set wake up command. ( i didn't do this part as i don't have pattern lock)
Open dialer > go to call settings > Accessory settings > Outgoing call conditions > Select Even when device locked.
Don't know if this helps but I can make calls no prob with my jawbone Icon. To activate S Voice you only need to press and hold the end call button on your headset and it should start up by itself. Once in a while you will not hear the special sound S Voice makes when it's activated (Don't know about headsets that don't support A2DP), that means it is not working properly. All you have to do is press the end call button on your bluetooth again and you will hear the end call sound. Then press and hold the end call button again to reactivate the s Voice, it should work again!

Thanks for your response.
I didn't have the Svoice set as you described, but the call setting was already set. Still not working. Can you try with screen lock set to "Secured with PIN"? That is the security setting required by my employer. I have tried it with and without "With swipe lock" checked. My BT is A2DP.

With the Pin enabled I cannot open S voice either.. That's kind of expected though because that's a security breach if I am able to bypass the lock screen just by opening SVoice. For company phones I guess security comes before convenience.

Thank you for confirming. Unfortunately, the workaround (putting the phone in car mode and leaving it open) is much less secure than letting me make a call from a paired device. Oh well.
