[Q] Voice instructions google navigation - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
Does anybody know how to activate voice instructions using the Google navigation app? I tried today, it navigates good, but I get no voice instructions. Volume was set to max. I can't seem to find settings for voice navigation anywhere in the app.
Couldn't find an answer searching this great forum.
Thank you.

does google support VOICE NAVIGATION in your country???? it doesn't support VOICE NAVIGATION in many countries like mine, India, its useful for basic ROUTING function.
or you can use the Locations App from your DHD with Premium navigation license (has to be purchased), that'll provide you voice navigation.
hope that answers your query.

I have used it before but not with the navigation app

Yes, google does support voice guidance in the Netherlands. However I can't seem to set it anywhere. Navigation volume was set to max. I really wan't it to work, because further it works amazing. Have already latest version of google maps. Also tried to empty the cache which didn't help either...

Ok I now discovered that the voice only works when my phone is not connected to my radio via bluetooth, very strange! I would still like to receive calls while navigating..

Bluetooth and Voice Dial problem

Earlier when I used to press the answer button on the bluetooth it used to bring up the Voice Dial, now when I press it brings up the Dial Pad. Anyone can tell me what would I have done to cause this and how to fix it? Thanks in advance.

There is a hack mentioned in there about BT Headsets and voice command. Good luck.
Thanks but did not...
Thanks for the link, unfortunately the Bluetooth hack file provided has no effect whatsoever on the present status of the phone. Guess these are Universal hacks and not Wizard.... the hunt for the solution is still on....
Same problem here
When I use TT5 and do voicedailing, I get stuck with a annoying Phone screen in front of my TT navigator
How to resolve this?
How to resolve this? No help from anyone....

Check the link about MS Voice
I added a note about creating a key as well.
All works fine on my Orange spv m5000
Voice Speed Dial not Voice Command
Thanks for your reply, actually what I am looking for is to activate the Voice Speed Dial via Bluetooth not Voice Command. It could do that before, but now when I click it brings up the phone dialer and not the Voice Speed Dialer. Any solution for that?

Desire UK Orange ROM (voice missing)

Was wondering if anyone knows why the voice button is missing from the software keyboard on the Desire on the UK Orange network? Also how to add/unlock this feature?
Is this feature missing from all UK network ROMS?
With the FROYO update due reasonably soon i'd rather not root or change roms. Is there a way to add the voice commands to the keyboard without doing this?
Have you tried holding down the physical search button?
I believe it is because the voice search is calibrated on an American accent and therefore could lead to troubles and hence was disabled

@ garlicyoda yes m8, but this allows only voice search. The button on the keyboard allows the user to compose SMS or Status updates via voice.

That makes sense I guess. But the voice search works reasonably well.

Is it possible to use Bluetooth voice daling?

Is it possible to use Bluetooth voice daling? I can't find how to do this.. Does anyone know how?

Use choice dialer, there are free and paid versions. May require a reboot before use.
Does that app use the voice recognizing software of google? Or does each app has its own?

All I know is it works wonders. It does pronounce the names of my friends like the google one does, though, so it may just be using Google's recognition.
I've installed the app, but the button on my bluetooth headset is still not working.. Using the search button on my phone does work, but touching your phone is illigal while driving in the Netherlands.
Is there a way to use the buton on my headset to start voice dailing?
ps: I'm really disapointed that this feature isnt part of the stock software. It's a big miss on such a high-end phone!

I have to agree, however the app is working for me on a Jabra bt handfree, out of curiosity have you rebooted the phone after installation?

I did a fast reboot and that didnt help. After you message I did a battery pull and now choice dialer works just like you sad.
Just too bad that this app has a hard time understanding all my Dutch names.. This solution is far from perfect to me, but thank for you help anyway!!
I really don't get why the original voice recognition software is only used to search google Why would anyone want to use google hands-free? You will have to use your fingers immediately after the search anyway.
When designing a phone, I think your main focus should be on making a perfect phone, after this you can add loads of extra's which hardly anyone is ever going to use!
I'm still searching for a way to use the build-in voice recognision to make calls with bluetooth..
Anyone??
Hi,
I'm interested too with this feature.
Idool, did you find a solution ?
No, sadly I did not.. I'm still hoping to find a solution. Are you looking for a dutch version as well?

No, i'm French.
I found "Cyberon Voice Commander", the 3.0 release works on Android plateform and it's multilanguage (i didn't find Dutch). But there is no trial, you must pay 5€
http://www.cyberon.com.tw/download.php?SNO2=4&SNO3=
Probably possible with Windows 7.

Yes, but that won't help us...
If you're trying to say that voice dialling should be a stock feature on a cellphone, than I totally agree. Especially such a hi-end device!!

It is with Froyo and Nexus devices, the APK is called "Voice Dialer" : http://www.mediafire.com/?912je0f8fta72b2
But does not work with our DHD, or maybe in puting in the rom before flashing it (with rom cleaner tool for exemple, i did not try yet)
I don't use bluetooth headsets currently however I do use a program called Vlingo which is very good at recognising voice, their description also say it works with bluetooth:
Vlingo InCar offers (Part of the Vlingo app):
* Voice-driven, hands free initiation – Vlingo enters listening mode upon Bluetooth® connectivity
* Voice driven, hands free initiation using a “wake up word”
* Conversational user guidance instead of a touch screen
* Ability to send and respond to messages, make calls and get directions using only voice commands
It can be downloaded free from the market and for mee the voice recognition seems to be far more accurate when compared to Google Voice.
Does it work in French ?
Did you try cyberon voice commander?
Edit: i tryed cyberon voice commander and vlingo and i use only vlingo now. It's great app, absolutely handsfree for voice dialing with bluetooth hf.

Does Vlingo work with the bt headset button? Voice Search doesn't seem to work, since I've tried it.
best regards

[Q] Google Nav : no voice indication?

Hello,
I've got a french SFR version of DHD, with stock rom.
So pico TTS is already installed and it seems to work when i ask a sample text.
But when I go to google navigation, with sound enabled, I get absolutely no voice indication... Does anyone have this kind of issue? this app is quite useless without that.
I can still use htc navigation premium (with turn by turn indications working by the way), but I was a bit surprised that google nav wasn't able to do it...
Thanks for your help if you have a clue...
This morning I've made a test on a Desire (not HD) with a colleague:
Same issue : no voice indication in Google nav...
Does it really work in other Rom than english ones? How?
I'm in the same boat. I installed SpeechSynthesis ENG-USA Voice from the market and after that I lost Google Nav voice.

[Q] Use bluetooth device as microphone when S3 is connected to it

I just recently bought a bluetooth device for my S3 to use while driving. My original intent was not to just use it for phone calls, but also use it for voice commands. I frequently want to make use of in-app voice searches while driving (for example, use the voice search in player pro to find a song), but since I dock my phone close to my radio, the s3 microphone has a hard time picking up my voice commands. I thought the bluetooth device would act as my microphone when an app requests a voice command, but apparently that's not the case. Is there a way to do this? Thanks!
This has been the case since frito with voice search /actions. I'd like to find a patch or fix for this as well..

I also asked on another forum and someone recommended the app "SoundAbout" It doesn't have the voice search command functionality yet, but I've been communicating with the developer and he sent me a version that worked with voice commands; unfortunately, it also broke the ability to use bluetooth with phone calls. So it's possible, but there are a few kinks to work out. I'd check that app out because he may be releasing a new version soon.
