This is a relatively small problem but it's driving me bonkers! So I have the Note II, rooted and equipped with SkyNote 9.0 Rom (Jellybean 4.1.2 - love it by the way!) and recently got the LG HBS-730 bluetooth headset. The story is that I can press the call button on the headset and it does a voice dial as specified in the manual.
The problem is I would like to strictly use Google Now for voice dialing and I have set up the necessary options to do so, but when I tried to deactivate the native voice dialer, I couldn't because I can't find the app. The application manager has no trace of a voice dialer. I have also looked in my folders as best I can to locate it but I can't. Does anyone have a clue where the native voice dialer is so I can shut it off or delete it?
Thanks!

WM6 Voice Command 1.6
Voice Command is a very powerful program that will allow you to control your WM6 Excalibur with your voice.
Hands-free phone
Dial your phone by voice using the phone number
Contact lookup
View contacts with a voice command
Have the subject, time, and location of upcoming appointments read to you
Media player
Program starter
Device Status
Enable Voice Command
Start > Voice Command
Voice Enabled > Yes
Announcement Routing > Bluetooth if Available
This setting will allow Voice Command to use the Excalibur phone speaker to respond to vocal commands, if you don't have a bluetooth headset connected.
IMPORTANT: Soft Reset to enable the changes to Voice Command
After the soft reset, press and hold the home key. This is the default Record Application Button which activates Voice Command. When you hear the beep say, "Help". Voice command will then guide you through the available voice commands.
IMPORTANT: Do not talk directly into the microphone. Hold the phone 4 inches/100mm from your voice. The response from Voice Command will take a few seconds.
A Voice Command tutorial from Microsoft is here.
Enable Voice Command with a Bluetooth Headset
With the current beta release of WM6, you need to modify the following registry settings to use your bluetooth headset with this feature.
NOTE: Your Excalibur has to be application unlocked to make modifications to the registry.
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway\BTA GExtModule
The string value needs to be changed from "OEMAGW.dll" to "\Windows\vcbthag.dll".
IMPORTANT: Soft Reset to enable the changes to Voice Command
After the phone reboots, your bluetooth headset will now be able to use Voice Command by pressing the button on your headset. Wait for the beep, then speak the command.
Viel Spaß mit Voice Command,

thanks you
Most of time, Voice Command works fine, but those times it doesn't more than make up for the times that it does
Great job with this, it's working pretty good for me with my BT headset. Very nice!!!!
add voice tag feature is gone.
I tried voice command 1.6 did not like it and now my dash has no add voice tag feature. How do I get it back?
Try a hard reset?

Try a hard reset. That should restore it to factory settings. You'll have to input your ActiveSync settings again and install any other apps you want.
I agree. I have VC1.6 on my WM6 and I am really dissapointed with my experience. I watched that very detailed video tour of the program before it was released and it made it seem like it cooked dinner, shoveled the snow, and aced all my exams. However, I find myself constantly arguing with the stupid lady voice about her being deaf, not being able to pronounce/recognize the right way my friends are called, and just being plain dumb. I thought it would be really useful while driving, but 80% of the time I give up and press the keys away to get what I want.
No thanks!
I Love Miss Botron's Voice, Works like a Charm!
To jromney: well said, thanks guy, it works like a charm on my Dash! Now I love VC, like you said, it a powerful application. I have Miss. Botron's voice volume turned up to the max. The Girl is alright with me!(lol) We talk all the time!(lol) By the way jromney, you got the best VC bluetooth headset fix on the planet, so easy a caveman can do it! (lol) Works perfect with my Plantronics 590A bluetooth headset!
Nice Software + voice speed dial
For those of you that have problems dialing strange non English names I fod a good way of dialing. In my HTC p3300 I have a software called Voice speed dial. With it I can make a voice tags forall my contacts. Then on my BT a2dp I press the utton for voice dialing, then I say "Start Voice Speed Dial" then it turnes on the voice speed dial and I say the name "name" and then the voice speed dial recognizes it on the spot.
I works very nice.
Would anyone like to share the file for voice command or split the cost on the purchase from handango. I do miss that feature of having messages read aloud and commanding programs via voice.
???
i am pretty new to the whole voice command thing and i know that it CAN read my text message out loud, i just don't know HOW to make it happen, please help me
thanks in advance
Sick of Microsoft voice commander 1.6 problems on wm6??
Try this great alternative "Vito Voice2Go v1.51"
Just search it in ed2k or p2p search engine by:" Vito Technology Vito Voice2Go v1.51 Xscale Wm2003 Wm5 Wm6 Cracked-Sympda.zip"
Don’t forget to disable the "mwc 1.6" if you installed it earlier
And make sure you change the voice command button to "voice2go" program
Didn’t try it yet with Bluetooth headset
All the best Miteranix
wm6 voice command
i just installed this on my dash(updated to 1.33 htc rom) my home button is using to voice tag crap does anyone know how to fix it to voice command... everything about the program works it just doesnt let me use the home key to activate can anyone help?
thanks a bunch!
I'm using Mechle's O2 Premium ROM with the included Voice Dial software. I just tried MS Voice Command 1.6 to compare, and I didn't like it. After uninstall, my voice tags were removed and my BT car Kit no longer works correctly. I tried to delete the device and add it again but it's still not working correctly.
I'm using the BT Parrot kit, and now when I push the talk button, it just opens the phone dialer, instead of Voice Dialer, and mutes the radio. I believe it's just a registry change, but don't know what to look for. Can someone point me right direction to fix this?
Also, I can't activate Voice Dialer from the wired headset. Just redial with double press.
Hard reset always fixes the problem.
What needs to be changed to be able to use Voice Search as the default dialer app instead of Voice Dialer over bluetooth? The Voice Search app does a much better job of performing actions, but it requires me to touch the screen to activate it. When I press the MFB on my Q2 it only launches the Voice Dialer and gives me no options to change the app.
I found an issue report for this on Google, but thought maybe the devs here could do it better/faster.

I already filed an issue back right after Voice Actions came out:
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=10390
Thanks for the response. I starred your Issue as well. Hopefully this will get addressed quickly.
Bugged Cyanogen about this possibly being rolled into CM6.1.

I could not stand the vlingo crap that Samsung put on the galaxy s2. The thing would not recognize what I was saying when I was just trying to make a call. I don't need the thing to type out a text message for me, I just need to be able to make calls hands free with my bluetooth. Another plus is that the Google Voice Dialer does not require network connectivity to do the voice recognition unlike vlingo. Here's how to do it. You gotta have root to do this. If you want vlingo back, push VoiceToGo.apk from here to /system/app
1. Download VoiceDialer.apk from here
2. remount via adb
3. Push VoiceDialer.apk to /system/app/VoiceToGo.apk
Now you have the stock Google voice dialer that detects commands better than vlingo, at least for me.
This also works by renaming VoiceSearch.apk to VoiceToGo.apk....the google voice search that's on the phone works pretty well for dialing also, but will allow you to search google for stuff via your bluetooth headset also.
I think this option is already available under settings -> voice input and output -> voice recognition -> change to Google from Samsung voice powered by vlingo.
Correct me if I am wrong though.
It did nothing for me, vlingo would come up even with google selected

you can download google voice search from the market and when you hit the "search" button on your phone for the first time it will ask which one you want as default

Google Voice Search and Google Voice Dialer are 2 different apps.
When I first longpressed the search key, it offered vlingos voice talk or googles voice search as the two options, and I had set googles as the default and since forgot about vlingo.
I bought ifrogz luxe earbuds today, and when I click the remote, the dreaded vlingo launches. Im not rooted, and was wondering if I could make it launch googles voice search instead.
Yeah, samsung cheated and locked vlingo to the headset key. Thanks. I was hoping that someone would fix this before an aosp rom came out

Thanks for this. Vlingo is the worst app I have ever used for bluetooth dialing.

I have reason to believe that vlingo does not in fact use the bluetooth microphone when you activate it with bluetooth, even if you do set it in the settings. After I installed my exhaust in my car the microphone icon was fully lit when I was driving because it was picking up the rumbling. I get no problems with google voice dialing or even when I set the voice search for the bluetooth voice dial.
I can't get this to work, I pushed the apk as instructed, I connect my blue tooth and press the button, but i get no prompt.
Make sure to remount for r/w access, push to system/app as VoiceToGo.apk not VoiceDialer.apk and if ask else fails, delete the old VoiceToGo.apk before pushing. You can always do it via root explorer too
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
thanks, I did use root explorer and rename it to VoiceToGo before pushing. I should note that I did not have an old voicetogo.apk .... could that be my problem?
What ROM are you running? VoiceToGo is vlingo voice app, if you have it running and the apk doesn't exist, I'm not sure what you could do. You could try install the voicedial.apk

worked for me
Works great on my epic 4g touch. The google voice search has worked better than vlingo for me so this is great. I couldn't do it with the adb, I kept getting a remount error but the root explorer was simple and easy. Also, fyi you can replace vlingo with the app google car home for when you dock it in the samsung car dock. This is a much better interface that also uses google voice search. Check this link out and make sure to follow his instructions on the order of install.

Note: Voice dialing worked as stated in my post. But for voice search to execute when the bluetooth button is pressed I had to install bluetooth launcher from the market. In bluetooth launcher choose voice search, then I chose com.google.android.voicesearch.recognitionactivity. This only worked after I had replaced the vlingo app with voice dialer.

Yeah, I tried that Bluetooth launcher app but it still would launch vlingo, that's why I went on my quest to replace it

I have to say guys, I have had the exact opposite experience on my original Epic 4G. The Google Voice Dialer is single handedly THE worst piece of crap I have ever used. Not once has it ever properly understood my commands. Google Voice Search thankfully does as well as this Vlingo app when I took it from an Epic 4G Touch and pushed it to my Epic 4G. Both of these programs work near flawless for me for proper voice detection. I've had such horrible experiences with the stock Voice Dialer that I delete it from every ROM I use upon first boot. So I'm not sure why you are singing Voice Dialer's praises when it simply isn't true at all.

maybe it's your Bluetooth headset. I have a jawbone hero and I NEVER have issues with it recognizing and interpreting what I say. Vlingo NEVER interprets what I say. It's as if it doesn't utilize the Bluetooth and it's using the phone's microphone.

I prefer google voice search to voice dial just because it can execute more commands although voice dial has worked well for me. As far as getting the bluetooth button to launch voice search it does work for me when I replaced the vling with voice dial. Then select bluetooth launcher and select voice search. Then it comes up with a dialog box asking which program you want to use as your default bluetooth launcher(voice search) or voice dial. But it's all for not really because voice search does not use the bluetooth headset microphone for input so I went back to voice dial for now. Come on Google add bluetooth microphone input for voice search.

Replacing VoiceToGo.apk with voicesearch.apk gave me Bluetooth recognition. Only thing I didn't like about it was that it didn't repeat my command back to me

Is there one that repeats the command and asks for confirmation like Microsoft Voice Command does on Windows Mobile? I hate not being able to cancel if it guesses wrong.
Hi, sorry if this thread existing somewhere, but I couldn't find answer.
Before i used automatic call recorder on my alcatel one touch idol JB 4.1.1 and worked perfectly. Now I have Huawei p6 KK 4.4.2 and this aplication for call voice recording do not work well. It record my voice, but the other side voice do not.
I tried other aplications for this purpose, and same result.
Rooted phone, enabled in build.prop voice recording, and nothing.
Does this have solution?
Edit: is this problem with phone (model) or with kitkat? Does someone have kitkat and working some voice call recorder?
