E61 Bluetooth and Voice Command

Has anyone noticed a degradation in the performance of Voice Command while using a Bluetooth headset on firmware 2.0168.06.05?
I find the speech recognition does not function in the version (it worked flawlessly in the previous firmware) and often the E61 misses the activation button from the headset.
I'm using and E61 with a Sony Ericsson HBH-610a BT headset.

I have been using voice dialing with no issues using a Motorola HS850. That headset died and I switched to Plantronics voyager 510 but the voice dialing doesn't work.
I can hold down the call button on the headset for two seconds, the nifty little tones play and the screen says Speak Now with the progress bar, but after I speak it just returns to the standby screen.
I tried disconnecting the headset and holding down the record button, which allows for voice dialing, and I get the tones, the Speak Now and progress bar, but after speaking, it just returns me to the standby screen.
Any ideas on why this used to work with one Bluetooth headset and now doesn't work at all?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

  • Shortcut buttons for both camera and voice command

    Hi
    I am having trouble with my blackberry 8900. I was using my phone and i'm not sure what i did. All of the sudden my camera and voice command doesnt work as a shortcut on either the top of the phone for the camera  or the side for the voice command. Do you know how to fix the problem. I prefer using the voice command on the side and the camera at the top better than using the home screen.
    Thank you

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    Best!

  • TS2634 Home button and voice command problems

    The home button stopped working today on our iPhone 4 and voice command keeps coming on.  I have done a hard restore to no avail.  Any ideas what I should try next?

    No clue what a "hard restore" is, no such function exists.
    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  If none of this resolves the issue then it is almost certainly a hardware issue and a trip to Apple is in store.

  • Bluetooth w/ voice commands is not working correctly after 2.2 update and factory default.

    I  have been having numerous problems with my phone and now a problem with the Bluetooth.  I have a Sony Xlopd Stereo in my car with built-in Bluetooth capability.  I have been able to use the phone connected to the Sony flawlessly for several weeks.  On an in coming call the Caller's name and the ringer would go through the speakers in my car.  When I wanted to place a call from the car I would press the Bluetooth button on my stereo, this would launch the voice command program on the Droid X and output the voice commands responses through the stereo and then dial the phone number I was trying to call.  Then I updated the phone to 2.2 and still maintained all the same Bluetooth capability.  However, after having other problems with the phone after the update I decided to do a Factory Rest.  After the rest it seemed to clear up some of my issues; except now when I re-paired the phone to my Sony stereo I have lost a lot of functionality.  For example, now when a call comes it does not announce the caller or ring through the stereo.  When I try to place a call through the stereo, the voice command program is no longer launched on the phone and it will not place a call.  I have to initiate the call through the phone itself and then the Bluetooth automatically picks up the call.  I have tried to wipe the paring from the phone and stereo and pair again with no luck.  I have also checked the volume settings and most settings on the phone.  This frustrating when trying to place a call.  I would not be so bad if I never had the capability, but now knowing that it was possible at one time I want it to work again. 
    Does anyone know if this functionality was lost after the update and my phone was still "stuck" between 2.1 and 2.2? 
    Or is there another problem with my device that can't be resolved? 
     I am open to any advice, since Verizon will not replace my phone that has signal and reception issues dropped calls, reboots randomly among other things and now this issue even though I pay $8 a month for warranty and pay my bill with four other phones.  
    I am really hating the Driod X with all the flaws and inconsistency..I miss my Blackberry.

    I was having the same problem with my X right out of the box. Using a Motorola T505 handsfree device. Turns out that it acts exactly as you describe if the screen lock security is enabled. Once I disabled that, it worked fine. It does take a few seconds for the voice prompts to activate, but other than that it works. Not sure if you use the extra screen lock security, but if you do, you may want to disable it.
    Its been so long that I thought about that issue but that is correct, when the device is locked using the password or swipe feature it does restrict the voice dialed from activating from bluetooth...

  • Landrover Evoque and Voice Commands - iOS 7 / iPhone 5S problems

    I have a Landrover Evoque which has Voice Controls.
    I also have iOS 7.0.3 and the iPhone 5S.
    Before the upgrade to phone and iOS the voice controls worked fine in that it could call a contact based upon voice recognition in the car.
    All worked fine until the new software upgrade.
    However, if I press the Voice Command button and say 'Phone Call Contact" it returns a response "No Handset Connected" and fails.
    However the phone is connected via Bluetooth and ALL of the contacts have been downloaded to the car address book.
    Anybody else have this?
    Anybody know of a fix?
    In case anybody asks - the Bluetooth has paired ok, mad it will make and receive calls - it also will play the music through the Bluetooth.
    However this is now more unsafe than it was before.

    No.
    You can try a reset, hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
    or on your phone settings - general - reset - reset network settings - you will have to re enter password for known wifi.

  • WHY---------???? WHY can't I use my bluetooth for voice commands with the driods?

    I purchased a droid1 and found out very quickly that my bluetooth COULD NOT BE USED WITH THE DROID OR VOICE COMMANDS-----IT IS NOT A HANDS FREE DEVICE!! I paired my bluetoot with the droid and expected to make calls as I did with my OLDER phone but NOPE-----IT WILL NOT WORK-------YOU HAVE TO "TOUCH" THE DROID TO MAKE A CALL BEFORE YOU CAN TALK VIA BLUETOOTH! WHAT ARE THESE PEOPLE THINKING? A basic function (AND LEGAL) like voice command calling wasn't put into these driods? PLeaase..........what--why-----how-----could they overlook such a basic and legal requirement (MOST STATS REQUIRE HANDS FREE OPERATION)..............I'm baffled and extremely disappointed because I can not use any of these 'smartphones'=droids.
    Be very careful before you buy one without being informed of this flaw--------the DROIDS are not HANDS FREE DEVICES--------sadly.

    I had the same shock when purchasing 2 new Droids less than a month ago. The store rep emphatically told me that Bluetooth dialing worked but of course that was wrong. The Froyo 2.2 version corrects that -- if you haven't received an update notice from Verizon you can get it here: http://www.droid-life.com/2010/08/03/manual-android-2-2-update-for-motorola-droid/  and do it yourself. it's pretty simple.

  • E55 - language pack and voice commander software

    Hello first! The phone is cool, but i dont have fully packed bulgarian language. I dont mind using english, but want to use voice commands, which i cant because the names in the contacts are bulgarian and they get scrambled and SIND becomes unuseful. For instance Uliqn Pavlov is like you read it, SIND changes it to Ilki Pavlov, and its for every contact. In the menu i got bulgarian, everything becomes bulgarian but cant write on bulgarian, perpahps of the e55 keypad dunno. Whatever im looking for something like this http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/microsoft/voice-command-features.mspx   just want to use the phone and dont get it out from the pocket

  • Bluetooth and voice

    The JSR 82 spec states:
    The specification does not address nor provide APIs for the following:
    1. Audio (voice) transmissions
    Does this mean I cannot connect through a MIDlet to an other device, e. g. a head set, and then a voice call would automatically be transmitted to the head set. To make it clear, I just want to make the connection through a MIDlet, not the actual voice transmition. Once the connection is established, the underlying telephone system is handling the voice transmition. Would this work?
    Any ideas?
    Thank you

  • Nokia N96, Bluetooth, and voice-dialing....

    Hi,
    I upgraded from my N80 to an N96 and, being a rep and frequently on the road, Im finding the voice-dialing to be a real PITA.
    The N80 would work just about anywhere. Car, street, pub, shops, wherever, it understood who I wanted to call. Not perfect, but close.
    The N96 doesnt even PRETEND to understand me, throwing up any name at random it seems.
    Worse, it is all very haphazard to use.
    You press the top right function button and hold it down. On the N96, you could hold it for a very long time before it responds. Since the processor in this phone is way underpowered, it a second or two before your hear the Speak Now confirmatory beeps.
    Couple that with the problem that many Bluetooth headsets power-down momentarily, it means that when youre driving along in the car and hold the button down on your BT headset, you dont actually hear the beeps. So you have to look down at the phone to see what its doing. While driving, this can be dangerous.
    Now, because you ARE driving, the N96 is not likely to understand you anyway.
    Nokia!! You need to go back to the drawing board here!!
    1) Fix the voice-dial activation - pressing the top-right button for two seconds is plenty.
    2) Play the bleeps WHEN the Speak Now screen comes up, not before! My N96 can take anywhere between 1 and 5 seconds between the bleeps and the Speak Now screen appearing!
    3) Play the bleeps a bit longer when the Bluetooth headset is activated. Most Bluetooth headsets take a second or two to wake up - the sound is over by then and you miss it.
    4) Go back to the N80 and read the code for what you did in that phone. It worked fine there!

    Poor Sod/N96 Owner
    Nokia: Connecting People... with iPhones.

    Still here is no improvement with voice dialing with ver 12 soft and training sessions to n96.
    It handles well with some names, but not with most. My old N95 did it much better from beginning (no training need!).
    And extra case is with bluetooth HF - I stopped for waiting now for this stupid "beep" that is coming or before or after or in the middle the time, when voice detection screen is there. Now I just try to say the name about 2 sec after pressing BT button.
    So, I hope some good Nokia engineer happens to read those voice dialing posts and in soft ver 13 we get better dialing (and finally somehow faster phone). Or do we, all who don't like extra slow processor should go in same day to service/operator and give in protest about the speed..

  • Release 10.2.1.527 and Voice Command App

    The Vice Control is not working as it did before this software upgrade. It used to ask, for example, "What would you like to do?" and  say a comfirmation of my command . This makes hands free abilities unworkable while driving. I can still pick up calls and make call using the Q5 but have to navigate through it on the screen, illegal here. I have played with all volume controls and have relaoded this release twice.
    I would love to revert back to the last release since I hadn' t found any advantage to this one only this huge disadvantage! I had no issues with the last release which worked fine for me. I was hoping that this new release would give me greater features, like the marvelous BOLD..no such luck!
    Suggestions?
    RickV 

    You can auto load the old os if you want but you will lose a lot of features I would suggest waiting for a fix.... good luck!

  • Hi all. I've just received my new mac. I'm trying to set up. I turn it on and the apple logo on white screen loads. then the screen turns black and voice command starts. I can't see anything on the screen and it's really annoying me. please help

    Please help

    Found this in the voiceover manual.  Try this shortcut.
    Darkening the Screen
    If you are a sighted user, you can use the screen curtain to simulate a non-sighted user’s experience. The screen curtain turns off all the visuals of the display, leaving a blank screen. This is a great way to learn how to use VoiceOver.
    To turn the screen curtain on and off:
    Press Control-Option-Shift-F11.
    Edit:  FN Control Option Shift F11

  • My 2 month old Iphone is losing it's mind.  It's randomly turning on Voice Command and calling people or turning on the IPod.  It freezes up and won't let me go back to the home screen.

    My 2 month old IPhone started randomly turning on Voice Command and calls people and turns on the IPod.  It freezes up and won't let me push the home button.  Any suggestions?

    OK, I reset it several times and it worked fine all day yesterday.  Today when I turned on the bluetooth it went back to the same problem.  Voice Control comes on and the home button won't work at all.  I have gone through the reset many times and it isn't working.  How do I restore firmware as you suggested? 

  • Can't hear Voice Command prompt over bluetooth headset

    Hello,
    I paired my Jawbone Prime headset with my new iPhone 3GS, and for the first day or so I was able to activate Voice Commands by pressing & holding the "Noise Assassin" button. First the headset would beep, then the Voice Command screen would come up on the iPhone, and when the the phone was ready, I'd hear the Voice Command prompt. Everything was great.
    Then, suddenly one afternoon, the headset beeped an extra time, and I no longer hear the Voice Command prompts. I don't hear the initial prompt, or any further prompts such as "home or cell?" or the voice telling me what song is playing.
    I have tried pairing/unpairing, resetting the phone and the headset, and every combination thereof.
    Has anyone else encountered this or have any suggestions?

    I wish I could say that was the problem, but it was not.  I keep the phone in vibrate mode all the time, but I took it out to try and increase the volume for notification, but it was up all the way already.  FYI - the bluetooth volume is all the way up too.
    I sent a message to Motorola last night to see if they have a solution.  They already upped it to the next level of support to resolve, so I am hoping to hear something from them soon.
