Hi
My current Jabra Arrow Bluetooth headset doesn't work with the sgs2 voice dialing (Voice Talk). I can fire up Voice Talk from the headset, but the sound/voice from Voice Talk doesn't appear in the headset.
Anyone who can recommend a good Bluetooth Headset for sgs2 that works flawless with Voice Talk?
I have got SE MW600. I love it. I haven't used the voice talk option as it doesn't support Finnish. But I can try it for you.
How do I fire it up? I heard you should be able to do it by saing hello galaxy but it won't launch. First have to start it? Does it stay in the background after that eating my battery?
Thanx!
Just hold down the button on your headset, that should fire up Voice Talk!
Good news about the mw600. Mine arrives tomorrow

MW600. Stand alone FM radio, long battery life (for bluetooth), v good quality audio, tiny and light, supports track ID, voice calling. Not a great clip or volume adjustment. Overall the best. Buy it, end of.
Yes, yes, yes: The recommendation of MW600 is overwhelming
But, please, spell it for me: Does the MW600 work flawless with Voice Talk? Is it actually possible to hear the voice from Voice Talk in the earplug and can you command the phone (dialing contacts) from the headset without problems?
Yes it does, you can hear confirmation through the bluetooth headset on the MW600. I bought a Blueant T1 today and it also works with confirmation over bluetooth headset.
The T1 also works by just saying "hey galaxy" not sure about mw600.
Sometimes the T1 says "this feature is not supported on this handset" but you can still call people through voice command. It also gets a bit annoying having to say voice command and waiting for the T1 to say "activating voice commands on the connected headset" then saying call contact.
Thanx, that was just the answer I was hoping for! Unfortunately I can't get the Blueant T1 here in Denmark, but Ebay might be my friend
I presently have the Sony which works very well with the G2x, but I would prefer a cord-free unit and so got the Nokia BH-505. My SGS2 will be arriving on Friday, and I am hoping the Nokia would rock with this phone.

Voyager Pro+ which is available on amazon is the best bluetooth headset which allows multipoint and a2dp as well. I might have used 13 or 14 headsets and this is the best even for noise cancellation, one word amazing.

I have had no joy with a Motorola H700 and a BlueParrot VXi Expressway. When initiating a call by pressing the button on the headset the audio/mike used is the one on the phone, and not on the headset.
I cannot believe Samsung still has this problem: a couple of years ago I had an Omnia and only a custom ROM with a different Bluetooth stack solved the problem. My last 2 HTC phones worked flawlessly...
This is an important security issue for me, and if anyone has information on what can be done ( I am new to Android) I would appreciate it. When I call using my VXi my callers can never detect I am on a cellphone:noise cancelling on this unit is outstanding, and I want to continue using it.
But if I find nothing to solve this I will have to go with one of the headsets confirmed to work in the maner they should...
BlueAnt Q2
it even come with an Android app
Currently have problems with Plantronics Discovery 975, low quality and stuttering sound. (Not what you asked about but perhaps don't try this unit!)
I have found a workaround to enable Voice Dialing and Digit Dialing from a Bluetooth Headset on my SGS2:
I purchased Cyberon Voice Commander and Titanium backup from the Market.
Titanium backup anables me to <freeze> the vLingo Voice Command so that it disappears from the installed apps, and installing Cyberon enables everyting I want:
- Tapping the button on the headset starts Voice Commander
- Bluetooth headset is connected to Audio and Mic
- I can say: "Call Jim", or "Digit Dial 8045551212", or "What time is it", etc.
The number of available commands is not as numerous as I had under Winmo and Microsoft VoiceCommand, but it suits me for now and the recognition rate is 99.99% with my Vxi Headset.
Be aware that this breaks all VLingo Voice Recognition apps in the phone because <it is no longer there>.
What I would prefer, and will continue searching for, is to have the headset button start Cyberon Voice Commander (since it handles the bluetooth stack correctly), while leaving VLingo active for other applications.
I am sure there is a setting somewhere that controls what application is started when the Headset button is tapped.
Of course none of this would be required if VLingo handled the Bluetooth headset correctly...
Hi, just to let you know. I ended up buying a BlueAnt Q2 headset, and it just works without problems with voice talk!
Thank you for all your Help!

Seems like the T1 would be superior to the Q2 thanks to the noise reduction; is this right?
I'm convinced enough to buy ONE of the Blueants.

Q2 & T1 are top of the line
T1 is though because it's rugged & have slightly better battery life but it has simple voice commands
remember T1 doesnt come with ear hook so you can't attach it to your ear...
you can get a sweet deal on ebay for the Q2

Thanks garden jean,
I lost something in translation though...
It seems to me that both come with voice control (is one better than the other?), both have ear hooks (according to Amazon), so the differences are that the Q2 (Edit: sorry, T1) is rugged and the T1 has noise cancellation.
Is that right?
Can anyone say which they think is best from a usability point of view?

Hi all,
Does the XDA2s and Microsofts Voice Command work on a XDA2s?
I'm not English, but I'm sure my English is good enought!
Whenever I give a voice command I get a "please repeate" error..
I think it's something with the mic gain, but where and how do I set it lower? Enabling/Disabling the Microphone AGC settings did not really help!
Any suggestions?
You should rather forget about this application. I tried to use it but with no success, exactly like you. Then I tried other applications (with the same result) and finally I followed suggestions from this forum: Neuvoice - it works and it's cheap.

Yes I think I will dump it.. It really sucks...
Looks nice the Neuvoice. To bad there is no demo to test it 1st
Yes there is a demo version, just download the full version from somewhere and it works as demo until you purchase the unlock code (as far as I can remember - but I'm not 100% sure - so you should by yourself)

XDA IIs Fonix Application
I have just received my XDAIIs upgrade from an XDA II and it comes complete with Fonix Voice Dial. It automatically records test voices against your contacts (name number) and then you can call it up any time. You can also record your own voice which makes it more efficient. It also works with bluetooth. It seems an OK applicaiton to me.
Is this what you have been talking about? :lol:
In a quiet environment, it really doesn't have any problems with recognizing my commands. As long as you don't have a terrible English accent. However, you can forget about if you are in a loud environment though.
of where you have downloaded it to you.
I don't find any demo in any place
greetings and thank you

I got mine with the XDA IIs cd but try Handango.com who have a good range of voice software including Vito Voice....

Voice Command 1.5
well, I have to say MS Voice Command works great for me. 95% hit rate on about 1000 contacts in my xdaIIs. Even in the car. Far better that V1.01. A couple of tips from my experienece with it.
1. Make sure the microphone auto gain is "disabled"
2. If it initially has problems and hit rate is very low, a soft reset usually sorts it out
3. Map the "record" button to Voice Command for easier access.
4. If your car is noisy, use a wired head set while driving. (I have not been able to get the bluetooth voice dialing to work at this point)

Hmmm... With none of the Voice dial programs I've been able to get the bluetooth to work.. Not sure if it's the bluetooth unit itself, or if it's some ROM version thingy...
The BT headset is a SE HBH-600. The XDA2s is with ROM version 1.12.62 WWE and radio version 1.02.00.
Can/will this work with bluetooth voice dialing??
MS Voice Command & BT Voice Dialing
No, sorry, I have not been able to make it work. I think its still an issue with the implementation of the BT stack (in this case the Widcomm stack) on the HTC devices. I can establish a connect from my headset to the device, but does not "link up" with voice dialing.
I now use a regular noise cancelling wired headset in the car, via an adapter plug sold by PockPCTechs (www.pocketpctechs.com) Other wise just use the phone mic to initiate a voice command dialed call

Chris

I was going to ask how well this works?
I'm getting a BT car kit fitted literally in the next hour and was hoping I'd be able to voice dial like I could my old Nokia, while driving.
I am using
O2 xda2s with microsoft voice software
I have a fairly noisy sports car but it works well..
I have the voice mapped to contacts button so one press and direct voice towards pda and no botha.... about 95% hit rate on 200 contacts..
I must add it has only been that good since buying a brodgit car cradle so it positioned well.. obviously you have to turn stereo off
the only complaint i have with it is that when the voice speaks back to you to confirm what you have said I cant hear it very well..
does anyone know of any settings to improve audio levels..
cheers
stay happy
Hi Guys
I have upgraded my 'Voice Command' handsfree solution as follows.
1. Added an FM 'Sound Feeder' from Pocketpctechs, that connects to the xda via one of 2 different pocketpctechs audio adaptors.
2. Tune the radio to one of the 8 frequencies supported by the Sound Feeder and the xda then plays all audio output through the car stereo system. This works for all apps, including my Navman GPS and Media Player!. I also mapped a button (I used the record button) to Voice Command, so one press activates VC and I can initiate a call by voice from there.
The really nice thing about this arrangement is that if i have media player running through the system, and a call comes in, the music mutes automatically, the phone rings, and i can take the call. When you end the call, media player picks right up again!
3. For the microphone part, there are 2 options:
a. The one I am using right now, is to use the pocketpctech 'single' adaptor, that allows sound to play through the stereo, while keeping the mic of the xda active. This means the xda picks up your voice directly for voice command and telecons, while at the same time playing the sound you normally hear via headphones, through the stereo. This works great for the incoming voice, although you need to talk fairly loudly for the party calling to hear you well. Decent enough though...
b. The upgrade I will make this weekend is to use the 'dual' pocketpctechs adaptor. This one accepts the soundfeeder on one side, plus a regular 2.5mm heasdset on the other. This one disables the internal xda mic, and allows you to use the mic from the headset. So I plan to permantly position this mic (after cutting off the ear bud!) on the door pillar as in normal car hands free installs. This should improve the outbound sound a good bit....
Will let you know how I get on
Regards
Chris
In the end, the Parrot CK3100 car kit has its own built in voice recognition, so I have no worries
Great! I looked at the Parrot a while back. How much was it? Work ok?
Regards
Chris
Well, I've not really had chance to test it properly yet, seems to be good. Cost me £180 to have it fitted, the old one removed and a bit of extra power wired in for my GPS & PDA.
Hi Andy
Sounds good. Let us know how it works out for you. I am interested in how the bluetooth connection holds up. I am still having problems with my xda maintaining a connection with my bluetooth headset.

I have just obtained a Samsung BT wep210 which is brilliant 'cos it doesn't fall out of my ear. But although it has some handsfree functions, it doesn't do as much as my cheapo unit from ASDA. The Asda one allows me to use voice tags when I depress the button on the headset, but when I do the same on the WEP210 it instantly does a last number redial. Am I doing something stupid?
Thanks
Mike
Not all BT Headsets have the same funtions or same button functions. What does the manual say? My Samsung BT Headset does not give me the possibility to use Voice Dial, although i don't know which one i possess

the manual is poor but it definitely makes reference to voice dialling if the phone supports it - which it does as it's a XDA orbit
Also I have discovered that this (Samsung) headset, does not switch itself off if I leave it in the car and walk off with my phone. In one way this is good as I don't have to switch it on again when I get back in, but it makes me wonder how often I am going to have to recharge it.
Thanks

Well I'm pretty new to this stuff and was wondering if there was a bluetooth headset out there that will do what I want it to do and if so, what is the best one. I've got a AT&T Tilt running Duttys WM6.1 release and I also have voice command installed. Is there a BT headset out there that will allow me to listen to audio from music and videos and also act a a voice headset for the phone that will work with MS Voice command? Right now I just have a regular Jabra BT headset that works fine with the phone and voice command, but I would love to be able to have music played through the headst as I'm driving down the road and also have Tom Tom directions come through the ear piece.
Is what I'm asking for possible? If so what headset should I get.
Thanks in advance,
JMan

Hi JMan -- I just got a Tilt and made my first call today, so I'm really new! Seeing that I only occassionally can actually see the text on the phone, I am also looking at MS' Voice Command as a possible solution. While music would be nice, it's not a deal-breaker for me, but everything else you mentioned, is. Any gotchas by going to a different ROM along with Voice Command? Thanks.
Google BTAudio - it'll direct all sound to your headset, VC still works. Only gotcha, (at least with TCPMP) music doesn't stop on an incoming call or if you have notifications for email/txt, etc to your headset.
I bought Sennheiser MM60 for iphone. The sound is exceptionally good (same as PX100 and PXC100) with detachable cable (you can use the mic unit with other headphones).
The only problem is the calling button doesn't work. It can only control music player (either stock player or winamp).
What iphone headset do you use and how does it work?
Interesting. What, specifically, is happening with the headset? I've had good luck with a few iPhone headsets, particularly ones with just the play button like the v-modas I have right now. I normally use the SE MW600 Bluetooth headset, and I've noticed that the call button brings up the menu option of either the Genius Button or Google's voice software. Is that what you're getting when you use the button?

I got music player activated when the button pressed once (it can be the last track it played or play audio randomly.
I am supposed to receive Bose MIE2 today and post the result later.
The purpose of this thread is to share the experience what brand and model of wired (bluetooth excluded this time) headset used and how does it work.
update:
I just received Bose MIE2. The button control is the same (doesn't work on calling, but it works with music control).
So it doesn't work on calling at all? It can't take a call, place a call, or answer one? When double-click my v-moda, it places a call to the last number dialed out. It also works with answering calls. I have the Vibe Duo:
http://www.v-moda.com/headphones/vibeduo.aspx
I haven't tried the stock ear buds because that design isn't particularly comfortable to me.

Any good BT headsets working well with ICS on the Galaxy Nexus? I recently did a trade for a Jawbone Icon but the damn thing doesn't work worth a damn. It only announces the number of the caller and plays the same stupid beep-beep audio tone on incoming calls. Aside from A2DP, which is quite useless since the above features don't.
Tried like 10 different apps to get this to work but nothing through the headset.
Things I'm looking for:
Name Announce eg "Call from Johnny".
Plays the ringtone I set for my phone.
Allows Voice Dial using Android's Voice Search eg "Call Mom mobile" or "map of pizza".
Also Voice control would be nice such as "Call from Johnny. Accept?" Then you can say "Yes" or "No". Not a big deal as you can just hold the button down to dismiss.
I don't really care about announcing text messages or calendar appointments. Actually I'd rather it didn't.
I had such high hopes for the Jawbone because it had an android app and was upgradable... and had lots of buzz around it. I've read up on the Q2 but I'm looking for feedback from people here.
Blueant Q2 definitely syncs and announces your contacts as they call with the option to answer by saying "answer".
Great sound quality as well and very comfortable!
Would highly recommend it.
Don't think it plays your ringtone though..
I've used tons of bluetooths and the only one I've found that fits me good is the Jabra Supreme. It announces your caller. So call from mom. And you can say answer or decline/ignore. And I have yet to find one that plays ringtone. But that I think of it. It does play the notification ringtone. And I usually answer before it rings in the headset. I'll test it out later and let you know.

Droid commando do say the name of the caller or if u don't have the name it say the number
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
BluAnt T1, does all of the above. My only issue is that this is the conversation to do it:
Click the button
T1: Say a Command
ME: Phone Commands
T1: Activating your phones in built voice commands on your connected phone
At this point your phone takes over. I have noticed that if you have multiple apps the first time you use the commands you have to select a default to use otherwise the phone takes to long to respond and the bluetooth cancels the command.
T1 or Q2 seem to be the best answers. Any reason to pick one over the other?
[Update]
Just found a Q2 for $34 with free shipping and no tax here: http://www.bensoutlet.com/products/blueant-q2-bluetooth
It's a refurb unit but so what.
EXT LTE Galaxy Nexus - 4.0.4
Asus Transformer - ICS
You can use the app Headset Droid to get the incoming caller told to you in your headset

I believe the T1 is built to be the more rugged headset, while the Q2 has the latest "sound enhancing yada yada yada"
Q2 is also one of the most comfortable headsets I've ever used!

Have you gotten this to work?
I bought a Voyager Pro HD (which has A2DP), when testing Headset Droid it announces calls through the headset, but when I actually get calls it announces them through the phones speaker.
I've tried a few other apps with the same result.
