That's just one of the things I miss. I was able to make a lot more changes to basic things on WinMo on a stock ROM than I am on Android. Things like power, screen and other OS settings were infinitely more adjustable on WinMo. And more transparent.
[Q] Rogers Samsung Captivate and Bluetooth Voice Command Dialer
- Thread starter kintaro
- Start date
Bluetooth Voice Dialing has worked on every i9000 rom and on Firefly and Andromeda.
The voice dialer apk has to be put into the system/app folder using root explorer or similiar.
To enable voice prompts ("Say a command", "Calling NAME") you have to install the Voice Synthesis app for your language from the market.

We should all name the ones that work here maybe, for easy access. A lot of people need that.

Paragon ROM works very nicely with voice commands thru bluetooth. I'm using Paragon RC3. The stock Froyo voice dialer sucks big time - compares very badly with Microsoft Voice Command. However, Choice Dialer is excellent and Choice Dialer Plus does even more than MSVC.
I am wondering what files they updated to make their bluetooth work. Did anyone had a chance to contact them about this? Was it also a kernel modification they had to do to make it work?
Also works fine on FireFly 2.0.5 which is based on the rogers 2.2. I have it on my i896 and can also confirm it works.
That's odd, I never had issues with VC on my Tilt 2 or Incite. It sometimes didn't recognize correctly, but it always worked. Today, I discovered that for some reason when I try to use my speed dials on the Cappy while connected to my car via BT, the dialer force closes.
I've got Choice Dialer, and am having horrible luck with it. Just doesn't understand me most of the time. I wrote up a little review on it over in APPS. Not many replies. I decided nobody wsa using it.
If only it could be accurate.
I have found NOTHING that is anywhere near as good as MS voice Command. Very disappointing.
I'm on Serindipity,which is i9000 based, and can get any of them to work.
If not wanting to use an i9000 rom, I don't see why people don't just use the Blue Tooth Launch referenced in the earlier post. Makes it work fine.
But again, none of them are very good understanding. But everything out there is better than Choice Dialer. At least, that's my experience.
I have been on perception since the beginning of it and tried out every version. Not sure when/which version it started to work but I KNOW FOR A FACT I use it daily with my stereo bluetooth headphones from plantronics. Before that I was using a $15 jawbone that also worked (from walmart) just didn't also play the music and pause on incoming calls. So try out Perception 10.2 (or 10.3) and it SHOULD WORK. You can see my signature is what I know works, I have also swapped out the kernels back and forth from glitterballs, firebird, and testing another now. All have had the bluetooth work with voice. Commands. Like stated earlier it sometimes does get the name wrong, like when I call the wife Kathy on mobile or girlfriend Cathy on mobile haha j/k and just an example. Should solve all those issues. Basically my setup now is the same as 10.3 since I had already been using the ugjl2 modem for a long while now.

I got Samsung Galaxy S Captivate from Rogers store as hardware upgrade on Saturday. The main reason I am upgrading is that my Iphone 3G does not has voice dialing capability and it does not work with my Blueant S4.
I asked the store guy if Galaxy voice dialing compatible and he confirmed it by saying that it was running android 2.2.
I brought phone home and power it and found out that it was still on anroid 2.1.
So I upgraded it to version 2.2 for Rogers phone. But to my utter dismay, voice dialing still does not work. The voice dialer in the phone does not understand even a single word.
I will appreciate your help to resolve this issue otherwiase I will have to return this phone because voice dialing is very important for hand free calling in the car.

Since I did not get any reply. Looks like Bluetooth voice calling still does not work on Android 2.2 on Rogers.
You may have to some no Rogers firwares to make it working?

I retuned the phone and got Iphone 4. It works well for bluetooth voice dialing on my Blueant S4.
The Google Voice Search can dial phone numbers for you as well as send text messages, and a bunch of other functions, all with voice command. Unfortunately, it's not a hand-free operation because I need to physically pick up the phone, open up the Google Voice Search program, and then push the Mic button, which defeats my original goal for wanting voice command in the first place.
So, anyone knows how I can get the button on the bluetooth to open up the Google Voice Search app instead of the default voice dialer that doesn't work? If this can be done, then we'll have voice dialing with Bluetooth on Captivate.

Well after a suggestion by a fellow XDA member on this thread I've upgraded my phone to Firefly 2.2. The OS is snappier then the stock Rogers Froyo ROM and Bluetooth voice command works like a charm.
A side note is I think there must be like some kind of service that wasn't installed on the stock ROM/kernel that is why bluetooth voice command didn't work. It is such a simple fix for Rogers/Samsung but obviously they are trying to milk us dry those buggers.

Voice Dialing and commands are working on Perception and now Paragon ROMs (I9000 based) on my AT&T captivate. I've got a Jawbone Icon headset.
How do I get Voice Commands to speak to me? I long press on my headset, the app launches and I'm supposed to hear 'speak now' thru my headset when the app is ready. I don't. I have TTS installed.

I figured it out... I downloaded and ran 'TTS Service Extended' which installed the english data to my phone. I think it installed 'Speech Synthesis Data Installer (ENG-USA)'.
I'm playing with both Vlingo and Voice Dialer. I had installed a third, Voice Actions from the market but it wasn't auto activating when I long pressed my headset.
If this is one of the system apps then what i have done wih some of the other system apps is to use root explorer, make sure its in RW, take the app you want to install and put it into the system/apps folder. Again that folder shud be in RW or it wont let u drop the apk in tht folder. once done reboot and if that apk is compatible with your phone and other rom files then it shud be installed. hope that helps
I agree 100%. Samsung firmware falls short in a lot of areas... Thanx to our devs we are able to use our capoys to the fullest.
BTW, im usng the Twingerbread 3.1 rom and BT voicedialing works fine.
