Hi all,
I own a jays one+. This headset has a remote. Since I upgraded to Jelly Bean (ordroid 10 atm) double tapping the remote always starts a call. The last dailed to be specific. I use the free app from jays to control the remotehttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=se.jays.headsetcontrol&hl=nl. But the double tap just overrides every command.
Any suggestions?
seems to be a HTC Sense problem..
thank you Christoph from Headset Button Controller
2 other users (One x+) already reported the same issue. It is not a general Jelly Bean issue - only the Jelly Bean verison of HTC (Sense). This double press -> redial logic is coming from HTC.
I guess there is no option in the HTC settings to disable this? If the outgoing call history is empty HTC cannot redial and therefore simple does nothing => if the call log is empty everything is working like expected
A workaround would be to find some app which automtically clears the call log (outgoing) if you don´t need it. But apart from this, I have no clue how to prevent HTC Sense to behave like this.

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.
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.

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.
Hi,
I have the Rogers version Galaxy S Glide (Android 235), non-rooted as not allowed in order to use it for work email.
Using Motorola S10-HD stereo bluetooth headset.
When paired and connected, pressing the BT Call button does nothing.
Holding the BT Call button performs a redial of the last number.
I've read for other devices with Android 2.2 or higher that the Google Voice Dialer should start when holding the Call button but it doesnt. It will only start if I hold the search button on the phone itself.
Any confirmation from others or suggestions to make it work?
Thanks.

I am using a Nokia BT headset but working fine, can you check on Settings > Wireless and network > bluetooth settings > [Moto S10-HD] > tap and hold, and see if it's connected with "Phone" and "Media"

Yes, both "Phone" and "Media" are listed in the BT settings and both are ticked.
Have tried repairing with no change.

I just tried a Nokia BH-104 but it also doesn't start Voice Search/Dial.
It also acts slightly differently to the S10-HD.
Call button press - nothing
Call button long press - nothing
Call button double press - last number redial

Oh now this is becoming a real challenge. I also have Nokia BH-104 and I will, in all my best, try and replicate your issue and see.
EDIT: Positive! The call button on both my Nokia Headsets does not trigger Voice Search.....I can only redial my recent called contact via double press.

I gather we are stuck?
Is there an app that allows remapping the BT call key to start another app, even though this function should work standard to start Voice Search?

I believe voice dial/search does that, don't know what google did....
On google phones (Nexus One/S), I believe, the voice dial app pops out once call key on BT headset is pressed.....but I wanna search further....

I have a Motorola T505 in the car and it works well just that it does not work if the phone is at the lock screen. Needs to be unlocked for the call button to work. I assume you already made sure the phone was not at the lock screen. Just wondering is their anyway to make it work with the lock screen still active?

Did a bit more testing.
I installed Vlingo, then something changed.
Instead of nothing happening when pressing the BT call button (Motorola S10-HD), now I get a choice:
Vlingo
Vlingo In-Car
but still no Voice Search option
I then found this App in the Play Google Store called Bluetooth Launch.
It allows you to assign any function to launch when the BT headset call button is pressed.
Now I get:
Bluetooth Launch
Vlingo
Vlingo In-Car
I set Bluetooth Launch to start Voice Search and it works!.
Vlingo is not a bad option either since it can be set to start listening on launching.
However, I realized all this only happens when the phone is in wake mode.
If its asleep, nothing happens, so you still have to touch and wake up the phone then press the BT button.
So still not totally hands free.
Asleep or locked the phone does not respond which is quite annoying when driving. My old phone (Windows Mobile 6.1) alloud voice dialing even though it was locked. I loved being paired with my Bluetooth as I still could do everything via Bluetooth. Sucks that Android which is so powerful does not work well with BT.

Did some more searching and it appears that the move from Froyo to Gingerbread changed the way BT call wake up works.
When the phone is secured with a pin or pattern to unlock, the BT call button wont wake it up..
I did have a pattern lock enabled, which I've since turned off.
Now pressing the BT call button while the phone is in standby wakes it up and runs Vlingo straight into listening mode waiting for a command.
So seems to work OK, just that I cant have a secured lock enabled.

Ya I have seen that it works as you mentioned but I like having the lock pattern and was hoping there was a way to get Bluetooth call button to work even though the phone is locked. Kind of sucks if there is no way around this. The whole point to the Bluetooth is that the phone can stay in my pocket locked so as not to press any buttons by accident and I can make calls from my Bluetooth device.
Hi does any one know if the HOX has voice command without having to use stuff like vlingo.

If you mean voice recognition then yes Android has had this feature since day 1 however if you mean personal assistant then no, you will need to download an App from the PlayStore.
using the google widget mike, the my hox will respond to commands such as call and text to contacts already in the system (i admit i haven't tried it with anyone not in my contacts list). if you say go to or open, it will bring up a menu of choices, some of which are mind boggling. the call function responds very quickly, however, and seems to be quite efficient.
Not tested it? Since i switched from iphone to HOX I have been nothing but disappointed in the voice control. The headset button long press is non existent?
The headset is supposed to be a handsfree device!!! So why can't you hold the button and make a call?
If I met the HTC exec that thought it was a good idea to disable that feature I'd beat him to a pulp - and yes i have read that they chose to disable it!!!
I don't want a third party app. I don't want a bluetooth headset.
I want to use the phone like I have used every other iphone or HTC I have owned before!
Now if people are saying their headphones button works then taking mine back to shop.
This is such a simple feature, why disable it? It feels like the they took away my civil rights the retards.
Stick to iPhone if you want SIRI..
For me, I used Speaktoit Assistant to help me arrange things..If you don't wanna use third party app, don't use it..i don't have any better words..

I don't want Siri - i just want working voice dialling without having to go and buy a blue-tooth headset which I constantly need to charge.
I actively support third party apps - but this is something that should be smartphone users god given right! A simple voice dial!!!!
If someone has a confirmed app that works with HOX then I will buy it!
Whats wrong with google search if you just want voice dialling or sending a tex..
all of android phone have voice command.But it doesnt looks like siri.you can try it when write a message.Just say something.Your phone can write it auto
Why do people not get it?
Ok this is the scenario-
You are walking down the street, on your bike or in the car. You need to make a call - you long-press the headset button and you hear a beep. You say the name and type of phone you want to call either mobile or office etc and away you go.
How hard is this to understand - its called hands free dialling. Iphones have done this from day 1 and my htc Desire HD could do this but not the amazing One X?????
And for the last time I don't want bloody siri. I just want to voice dial. How hard can it be????????????????????
I don't want to see the phone or have to touch it. Cyberon voice commander almost does this but it wakes the phone up to do it. So then I have to take the phone out of my pocket and lock the screen again. Or better yet, the call gets ended because its in my pocket and the wrong button gets pressed.
Am I really the only person out there that wants to make a handfree - legal when driving - call???? :crying:
Hello, when you open the phone keyboard you have a microphone.
Touch it and say the name of the person you want to call ...
That will do what you need, i think.
Just don't know how to do that on "one click", and the microphone button is quite small ...
Really? That kind of makes no sense as I don't want to have to touch my phone.
In the UK you get fined and 3 points on your driving license for using your phone when driving unless you are using a proper hands free kit.
This is the sort of thing that will always keep android in second place - no class!!

In france, it's the same. Law is quite severe with the "hand used phones in car" here too ( 4 points and 90 € ).
But, from here, if the phone is on a "hard" support linked to the dashboard or the windshield,
it won't be considered as a illegal use of phone in a car. Lot of persons looks to ignore that ...
Don't know how it is in UK but there is a chance it is the same as here ...
The only systems i know that don't need any "touch action" are the embedded systems in the cars,
like parrot systems or car brand "stock" systems and to be honest i think there is still a "call button" ...
On a phone, you will always have to touch it to activate the voice recognition.
For understandable battery lifetime reason, the phone won't stay alert on microphone unless you make an app or an action that do so.
For example TapTapTap activates the proximity sensor permanently to unlock the phone by a movement on the proximity sensor.
That app surely drains the battery even in sleep mode ...
And how do you won't call somebody by inadvertency if voice recognition is working "alone" ?
You will need a shutdown "voice call" button ... and so need to touch your phone
PS : I like to touch my HOX as much as possible, so sweet screen
Just put the latest icey Jelly bean 4.1.1 and surprise surprise the voice dialing works on the headset.
Obviously htc have seriously messed with the phone and ruined the voice dialing. At last I can keep my phone and stop regretting not getting an iphone.
Go Android!!!!!

Is it true that the HTC One X+ (or any HTC One phone) ? We know how to use the microphone and the voice search to do voice calling, but the main issue is we want to be able to use a bluetooth earpiece with mic to make a call. My husband rides a motorcycle and wears his headset to pickup incoming calls, but can't tell the phone through the earpiece to call someone. He has to pull over to the side of the road and use the voice commands on the phone. Is there a third-party application that we can use to allow him to tell the phone to call or text someone from the bluetooth head piece (in this case the motorola oasis)??? Is Android or HTC fixing this?
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.
