Voice Command 1.6 UK version BT initiation

[C2k6]

Nice to see this new Sable forum and hope it grows with time.

Has anyone achieved VC 1.6 initiation from their Bluetooth earpiece?

I can't. Running WM5 5.1.195 on HP 6915, and guess that is the problem.

No ROM update as far as I'm aware, but please correct me!

Am I flogging a dead horse trying to find a fix?

Alternatively, has anyone got VC 1.5 running properly with the reg hacks? It worked just fine on my old Universal.

$9.99 to downgrade....not such a great deal in my book! Could someone look to see if I have "idiot" written on my forehead? :)

I have a hw6955 and version voice command 1.6 and I've tried the hack (which starts vc1.6 when the headset button is pushed) that's been used on other wm5 devices and it doesn't work.

Voice command 1.6 is great and I still use it, I've assigned the side button to start vc 1.6.

Trouble is, the device turns off after a few minutes anyways and it seems to lose connection to my BT headset. You have to turn the device on and then press the side button to start vc. If a call comes in, I have to press the button on the headset to reconnect to the device anyways. Not sure if this is normal, because hardly anyone has sables.

Could pressing the button on a headset, turn the device back on and start voice command? That would be awesome. Anyways, the 6955 is a great device, just needs a few more people hacking for it.

1500 and 3000ma batteries for out for it, the 300 gives 4 days of use, which is amazing. The 1500 provides 25% more power then the OEM battery and is the same form factor (and weight).

I don't have the cut-off problem at all.

In the hands-free setting (Bluetooth Manager/Handsfree Connection/HandsFree Settings) I've ticked the box for Standard Audio as well as Telephone Calls - perhaps that makes a difference. Mine (Moto) stays on and I also get all my TomTom instructions through it. Voice recognition through the BT headset is pretty poor though.

Where did you get your batts? I've got the 2500 from eBay - larger size with back cover that is a different colour to the PDA and not a terribly good fit. £15 from Hong Kong - but I can live with that! Found a nice case from US that takes the larger battery.

I have a logitech one, I'm not sure if it's all the great. I may try a moto one. If I turn on both telephone and all sounds in the bluetooth menu, then I find that there is a lot of background static on the headset. People have mentioned that it sounds like I am standing by a jet taking off! Anyways, I think it's the implementation of bluetooth on the hp models and not the headset, but until I try another one, then I don't know.

Have you read the thread here about activating voice dial with the headset button? It's really good.

any more information on this? BTW, all 6940/45/50/55 ipaq users should be using microsoft voice command 1.6. It works amazing for voice dialing. No training, it just works.

If someone could get the bluetooth headset button to initiate the voice command software on the ipaq, that would be ideal.

A lot of smartphone, pda users are attempting to get voice dialing working with bluetooth headsets. There are various posts on here about it.

Obviously, there isn't a huge following for the 6900 series... That is not good.

Battery life would be the most obvious reason!
