No voice dialer when device closed ?

[smogdragon]

Hi all,
I just got a new athena ppc and I am a bit disappointed 'cause I was not able to make phonecalls when the ppc is closed neither using the button on the earphone or configuring an hardware button for the purpose. Is there anyway I can make the voice dialer pop-up while the device is closed in the pocket ? Thanks a lot.

P.S.:
I am currently running the default WM6 ROM from HTC ITA.

That's odd. I'm using MSVC, and although I have to have the security settings a little lower than they're supposed to (i.e. I have it set so that MSVC can be triggered even when the device is locked), it's responsive via both the BT headset and the button. I wouldn't think that MS is doing anything unique there....

I dont have a problem activating the voice tags from my BT headphone with the device in standby.

Sorry, I did not mean in standby but closed like when you close the keyboard on it and the device displays the operator name and the signal strenght through the transparent strip.

I think it's just you, as I have been before and now using my X7501 closed without any problems with voice dial. Maybe it's your bluetooth settings or something. If I were you try to repair it and see if that helps. Oh btw I'm using a Jabra BT8010 the only thing is it's 2 clicks to activate voice dial due to the headset going into (stereo) mode. Hope this helps any and good luck.

I should have clarified - when its in its belt holster, cover on and in stand by, it works fine. I know when the cover is on some of the buttons on the Athena are disabled, but it doesn't affect any control requests coming from my BT headset. Also to be sure I just did a test with the cover on and with the display on, and it worked again. I'm using the Jabra BT 8010 like many others here.

Well, I just tested the device again and either in standby or cover-on the default headset (the wired one that comes in the box) does not wake up the phone when pressing the "voice dialer" button on it. If you can confirm me this beahviour I'll go and buy a bluetooth one.

Thanks in advance.

I'll try to remember tonight, I tested the wired headset once when I opened the box and decided it wasn't comfortable in my ears. Its been in the box since.

Ok solved. It works great with a sony bluetooth headset, it is probably an issue of the wired headset that comes in the box.
Thanks to all
