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.
So I'm using the Plantronics M20 bluetooth headset (standard universal). When my screen is off and i hold the talk button for two seconds to activate voice talk, nothing happens until i manually turn on my phone's screen, which seems counter intuitive to the purpose of a bluetooth headset. When the screen is on and i trigger voice talk, it brings up the app and commands with no problem. My question is, is there a way to make it so the phone will wake up when activating voice talk, rather than having to manually wake up my phone before being able to give commands? I tried using vlingo and it gives me the same problems. Also im using Mijj's blended ICS if that makes a difference.
derp
nevermind i figured it out... for those of you who are wondering, if you manually lock your screen to go into standby mode, then it will require you manually turning it on before entering voice talk. which makes sense i suppose. so if you let your phone go into standby mode after waiting (15 seconds or whatever you have it set to) then you can wake it up with your bluetooth's voice talk command. hope this helps someone lol
You can Automatically put a Call on Speaker using Voice Command
Good find, thanks!
Found it but only by accident.
Oho, very usefull, i'm gonna try it on lumia 800
Very cool. Anyone know if you can answer a call on a sleeping phone with a voice command? That would be handy for an incoming call when driving. Something like "answer call on speaker".
Or you can just click the speaker button.
I always accidentally put it on speaker mode using voice command but never knew how to actually trigger it

Well I'm glad they did, I had no idea you could do this. And it saves from that second of looking down while driving to hit the speaker button (sometimes it's just not an option to pull over).

I sure hope you're not driving in the Miami area. Ever heard of bluetooth?

Well after some Minutes I figured out the German command:
I didn't work for me very well, he told many times, that he can't find the contact, because he recognizes "lautsprecher" (ger. speaker) as part of the name.
"ruf X an auf Lautsprecher" (ger. "call X on speaker") did not work at all, I had to say: "ruf X an, Lautsprecher" (ger. "call X, speaker") but even that didn't work very well, like I said above.
Anyway, good to know that there is a function for that, but I think I will still use the button for that.. :/
Thanks anyway!
Cool
Press the Windows phone button and say " What can I say" when it asks you to speak.You get the complete list of commands that you can say to you phone.Be sure you scroll to the left and the right to see the other commands other than call.
I remember stumbling upon this by accident when I said "Call Michael R." but slurred momentarily afterwards, and then my WP responded by saying "Calling Michael R. on Speakerphone". Cue epic "WTF?". Still, it's an impressive feature to have.
A thing for headset users (like I have the HTC headset for my TITAN), the "Play/Pause" button on the headset may also be able to trigger Microsoft TellMe. A tip for this though, if you're planning to do this I recommend going to Settings -> Speech -> and make sure "Use Speech when the phone is locked" is checked.
P.S. I do have the contact's full surname in the entry, but have simply put the initial there for the purposes of respecting his privacy.
thanks for an information thread
The way windows phone handles voice commands over Bluetooth is one of the big selling points for me. I like the way it reads out SMS over my car speakers and gives me the option to respond by voice. I also have an HTC one x but never use it in the car (I.e most of my working day) because I cannot find an android app that replicates this function with the ease if use that wp has built in out of the box.
(P.S. before any flame wars start, I am not not knocking the One x or android, I love the hi Def screen, some of the games and the text ref low in the browser, the industrial design is also second to none IMHO.)
So after having a listen to the response to pressinf the centre (windows button) and saying "What can I say?"
You can do the following (some things are more obvisou that others):
"Call xxx" - preforms the standard call a contact. The only difference is that the first time you say a contact name you have to select which of their numbers you wish to associated with their name.
"Call xxx, mobile" This way you are accepting they have more than one number so you could choose to say call and a different phone type I assume.
"Call xxx, on speakerphone" Well this one is what started this thead in the first place.
"Redial" Another pretty obvious one really.
"Find xxx in xxx" Find something somewhere.
"Find Weather in xxx" like Siri on iOS proving you weather info.
"Open xxx" or "Start xxx" Enables opening an app handsfree. This works well with "Hey DJ" which is a handsfree music player. (Nice!).
"Text xxx" I like this one, as it enables you to text someone handsfree.
During a call you can start speach and say "Call" to call another person or "Press" to press a number.
Hope this helps those that haven't or don't want to listen to the "What can I say?" response.
This is based on using a Nokia Lumia in the UK.
So in the dialer settings, for answering/ending calls, I've got "using voice commands" checked so that if I have my hands full I can answer an incoming call by saying "answer".
That said, this feature is of little value if the speaker phone isn't also automatically enabled (at least it's of little value unless you have a bluetooth headset on or something).
Is there a way to get the speaker phone to come on with a voice command or, better yet, automatically when I answer a call using a voice command?
fwiw, I'm on a retail variant running the lollipop update.
Thanks!
If I use voice commands, I rather use the "ok google" feature than tapping the screen. So is there a way to set the watch so it does not launch voice commands with a tap? It seems I accidentally touch the screen more often than I use the voice commands and each time that happens, it'll stop or pause whatever media related thing I'm doing on the phone.

I agree. It's really annoying when you're listening to music while walking or jogging.
Wait for te 5.1.1 update it will be changed to a appdrawer i believe.
