MSVC 1.6 notifications - help (Microsoft Voice Commander)

I used to use MSVC 1.6 on the Tytn2 on WM6.5 (see sig) and the confirmation notifications when you called someone always used the bluetooth headset. Since running it on the Leo MSVC seems to use the loudspeaker on the handset instead of the bluetooth headset even though every setting is marked as "Announce notifications using Bluetooth hands free only"
Anyone else having this issue as I did a search and couldn't find anyone.
Edit: Just had it working once but then the other end couldn't hear me when the call connected. Then I tried again and it had reverted back to not working.
I went to Bluetooth settings, Advanced, Audio and ticked the box then rebooted the phone...

I have this same problem! Its annoying... you want to make a call and the prompts/confirmation come from the phone... Please, can someone figure this out?

IT isn't... I have done more research..
The Leo (and the TouchPro2) use a Widcomm BT stack as opposed to the usual MS stack. Sadly, this means the BT won't play nice with a lot of different apps/equipment. This isn't something that can be swapped out easily as NRG has pointed out. Touch Pro 2 users are still facing the same problems even though that phone was released much earlier. Some however have reported some success when using certain custom ROMS... how its working with some ROMS and not others is still a mystery it seems
I would watch the ROM Development thread carefully to see if a ROM what works with our MSVC shows up....

Hello,
Is there a workaround... ?
Thanks in advance for any info,
Jean-Jacques

I have the same problem. I'm using an old phone when I need to use hands-free. After spending a lot of money on my HD2, I'm not impressed.
I there a particular combination of headset and software that does work, especially for voice dialing?

have you tried this?
I would, but I don't know if I even have voice command on my phone.

Does not work with my helmet bike with scala-rider Q2, but does with does with Philips SH9000 stereo headset...
Mono/Stereo seems to matter.
Any workaround would be veryyyy appreciated

Workaround
Hi,
for this following workaround seems the only way to get it runnin:
My BT-Headset has the ability to be set as a Stereo-Device. When I establish a connection to this Stereo-Device, I can use it (my BT Headset) to give Commands and recieve "answers" from the VC. In case I want to start a phone-Call, my headset changes the connection automatically from "Stereo-Device" to "Handsfree-Device" and back, after finishing the Call.
This may be the Reason, why someone here already got it running with a BT-Stereo-Headset.?
Sorry for my bad english...

Blue-tooth - which builds have it working?

I am using 1.5 and it works great, I am wanting to find out which other builds have blue-tooth working.

Afaik, 1.5 is the only build with working Bluetooth. I sure do miss my headset, #1 thing lacking with android for me.
I will be overjoyed if someone corrects me!

Dzo was/is working on BT in the kernel, AFAIK something in the library needs to be adjusted. I agree that BT is important; my objective is to perfect a 2.1 Eclair build, get GPS to a highly workable state, fix the audio lib/sleep/speakerphone issues, and then investigate BT (followed by camera), in that order.
I think GPS is well on it's way, so I should be able to focus on BT (hopefully with Dzo's help), and Polyrthymic is working on the Camera.

That would be fantastic.
Keep up the great work, you're doing awesome Shidell! When I get a spare second (visited my parents this weekend) I definitely want to try the 2.1 build.

Bluetooth should just be a matter of making some changes to the init.eclair.rc file you're using.
Check against the cupcake init.rc for the bluetooth settings.

Thank you...
It sure would be great to be able to have 2.1 with gps and blue-tooth working! I have seen some have said that the blue-tooth is flaky in 1.5 but I have not seen that to be true. What are they talking about? And if it is so easy to fix blue-tooth in 2.1 why hasn't any one done that for 1.6?

useable bluetooth audio is going to be dependent on having proper eclair/2.1 audio libs. which we are working on.. There's alot of changes to merge..
full 100% will always be a couple of builds behind whatever's newest and latest.

Thanks for reply
I would love to use the 2.1 but I need Blue-tooth.

Bluetooth not working right with Pioneer and Android

I've been using Androind on my HTD for +/- the past month or so, and have yet to have stable bluetooth operation through my Pioneer AVH-3200BT which is enabled for BT phone calls (NOT A2DP). I've been through several builds, and currently am using shu8i's latest shubCRAFT 1.4d (23.08.2010 build). I'm got HPSL3 and Radio 2.12.
I get a lot of forced close app errors with trying to establish BT connection. Sometimes I get further, like the Pioneer can usually pick up my contact list after a few tries... But the worst happens when I try to make a phone call. The system hangs, the sound goes dead, the Pioneer cancels the call, and the HTC HD2 usually crashes back to the home screen. From then, I usually dont have any sound for anything until I reboot the HD2.
In WM6.5 Bluetooth works fine with the Pioneer.
Can anyone help me out with this? I'd be willing to pull some logs / demos / or get more vital information if I knew where to look. I'll be the geinea pig!
Thanks in advance

I'll add plantronics voyager 815 to list. maybe a list of working headsets might help if anyone has one.

my Jabra T3030 doesn't work either. It works great with A2DP and it even rings when i get a call. but it hangs the device if i try to answer and there's no audio in calls.
I tried every build possible

I cannot get my Bluetooth wireless headset to work also ,it works on phone calls but on media ,no sound is transferred ,Ian using Mattc 1.6b with sonyericsson headset ,that works more than perfect on windows

I got similar problem with my Motorola Headset too, it just keep hanging with the dialer, without bluetooth one, the dialer works flawlessly. Mine is Shubcraft

I think I figured it out... I set the pioneer to accept connections with pin 1234 instead of 0000 and it seems to be working alright now.

I'm also having troubles with my Sony Ericsson MW600. I did get it going with I think ShubCraft 1.4b but now on 1.5 it won't have it...
It pairs fine, works fine with Media - AVRCP controls working, etc.
But the phone app just doesn't like it. I've tried to switch BT on and off whilst in call and most of the time get a force close on the phone app.

I've tried changing the libbluetooth, libbluetoothd and libbluedroid files time and again with Shubi's build and nothing works.
I had some success today though. I'm currently using Shubi's build but with the michyprima r10 kernel.
I was trying a different kernel earlier - the huanyu OC kernel from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=777921
This got my BT headset working for calls and A2CP/AVRCP...
PLEASE NOTE: This kernel is in beta still, read the thread!
Unfortunately, it proved to be a little unstable for me, so I've had to go back to michyprima's kernel.
But it does seem that the problem lies in the kernel, rather than the bluetooth libraries.

A reboot is required after overwriting libbluetooth.so file
With some old android distributions I cant turno on the bluetooth radio, but it was a kernel matter. Maybe updating the kernel solves the problem.
Now I use FroyoStonev2 with this [kernel][.32.9](BFS+BFQ+AXI+OC+UV) build on 09.09.2010(version 0.2)
But every time that reboot the hd2 need to pair with the freehands.
Every time that reconnect it needs to reenter the code.

[ISSUE] Bluetooth and non-Sense builds

So I having a recurring problem with all of the non-Sense builds that I've tried here on the forum. The bluetooth would pair and connect perfectly in all the cases. However, the problem arises when I tried to make a call. The phone would freeze up or come to crawling halt. The dialing screen would go black, and then I would get the android.phone.process force close error. And I would need to pull the battery and reboot.
The issue has happened every single time with any of the non-sense builds I've tried so far: NexusHD2-FRG83, HyperDroid v1.6, Bangsters v1.5, and shubCRAFT v1.5.
I've tried with the included kernels with each build, and also with different combinations of kernels with the above builds as well, hasparin r4.1, r7.2, r7.4, r7.5 and michyprima r11. And still the same issue.
I'm certain there are other people with this same exact problem. So there has to be something going on with these non-Sense builds.
I have two bluetooth headsets, Plantronics 925 and 975. Same problems on both.
I don't like Sense, but I have to use a Sense build because bluetooth calling is very important to me. I hope some of you developers can come up with something to fix this.

Hi. I had exactly same problem.
Try to push play&pause music ,start&stop voice action
before start use bt.
Another solution is push bt call button immediate after make call
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

That didn't work for me.

I had the same problem as the OP and thats why i switch to a sense build also

Did you try this before?

Yes, I've tried that. But those files are for sense builds, and when I transfer them to a non-sense build, BT wouldn't even turn on.

See the FAQ in my signature. Some of the builders have BT working on CM6 with the EVO kernel so you should soon see builds that support it.

I have been running with BT on several builds for a couple of months now including the NexusHD2-FRG83 builds mentioned above. In fact if a build does not have working BT I skip it. I have found that the first time you install the build and try to use handsfree you need to do the trick of selecting/de-selecting and then selecting BT in the call screen before the actual connection. I use my phone constantly for work with speaker phone (Motorola EQ7) and my headset (BlueAnt T1). No problems making or receiving calls. I use the BT in both phone audio and media audio modes without any issues.

before it's only supported on RMNET or non evo kernel.. the NEW NexusHD2 that was just released now supports BT on all currently available kernels... you don't even have to do the on, off, on trick anymore for the bluetooth to work.. i think it's the closest to being the perfect android build for our HD2.. everything just works including the MMS which i'm having problem with all the sense builds (low res image)..

I will load NexusHD2 1.5 tonight and see what I find

Finally a non-sense build with working bluetooth. I was able to bluetooth music and make a call using my car stereo. I just had to post this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804210

[Q] Bluetooth issues with Froyo

So I flashed to a froyo ROM over the weekend and have found someone posted a fix for the gps issues, but I'm having BT issues as well. Has anyone else experienced this: I can pair certain BT accessories but not others, and even when paired the devices cannot connect without multiple connection requests.
My specific issue is that I have motorola rockr bt earbuds, and a Jabra car kit, and they both pair with the phone (after a few trys) but neither will automatically connect to the phone once they're turned on. With the earbuds I have to manually try to connect 6 or 7 times in a row before they'll connect, and even then they may only connect with the phone audio only. This wasn't an issue with the stock ROM so I'm assuming its the bt radio library for Froyo thats the problem?
I'm not new to development, but I'm kinda new to development on Android. I've been trying to learn more about the radios and how they're configured within the OS but I haven't found a lot of good documentation on it. I'd be happy to work this out for myself and post any improved radio to the forum but it would be helpful if someone could send me a link to some learning material? If someone has an improved Epic Froyo BT radio to flash that would be helpful as well

yes bluetooth issues as well, but different in that only when i turn bluetooth on it foreclose's. the bluetooth is otherwise not affeceted. only on the initial start up.

I've been having issues as well, but also mine a different. If I walk away from my phone and it get disconnected I manually need to re-establish the connect. Also sometimes the A2DP stops working requiring a reboot. And I've NEVER been able to get Bluetooth voice dialing to work on Froyo for the Epic. I had 2.2 running on my Hero before I switched phones and it worked great.
I am in no way a developer, but I do prowl this site everyday, so unfortunately I can't help with fixing it. More power to you and I hope you (or somebody) gets it worked out!

I had the same BT issues with the stock ROM when walking away, having to reconnect after coming back. Voice dialing never worked with BT either. I was hoping for an improvement with the upgrade, but I'd settle for what it was before. I'll start tinkering but I'm not sure what I'm doing with the radios....I'm a developer, but not an Android developer.

I noticed that too with the stock 2.1. However, Bluetooth voice dialing is a feature built into 2.2. I've read that some people having it work great, but other's like myself, are not having it work at all. Oh well. I'll live for now. Hopefully if it isn't fixed beforehand then it'll be fixed with the "official" release. LOL.

now that you mention it, i had this problem too doing some bluetooth file transfers between my buddy and I's phones last night. it struggled to connect multiple times but after the first successful transfer it seemed to stop having problems for a little. I'm moving back to 2.1 until we get some non-beta custom roms for froyo because i use bluetooth and gps everyday. just out of curiosity though, for those who are having problems, which rom and modem are you using?

I put the DI18 modern on there and that has seemed to fix the gps more or less. I think I'm going to go back as well. Maybe I didn't flush data enough times but layar can't find the camera, neither can the bar code scanner...it's close, but Froyo just isn't ready for the Epic yet.

Still having Bluetooth problems with official Froyo release on Epic 4G
I was also having glitchy issues with BT oo my Epic running the leaked build of Froyo. I ended up flashing back to 2.1. The problem I was having was when I turned on my Motorola Finity, it worked fine.. for one call...) Then it wouldn't work again unless I turned the headset off and back on again. To make matters worse, after using BT one time, All sounds including ringers and media, came out of the earpiece instead of the actual ringer/speaker on the back of the phone.. Strange, huh? I had to reboot the phone to make it normal agian. Now to my surprise, after installing the newly released official Froyo build, I am having the same problem. Is anyone else having an issue like this with the official software? I am going to try the headset on another Epic at work, maybe its just a compatibility issue with my particular headset, but its very strange...

I am using the new official Froyo release from Samsung/Sprint. having the same buggy issues I had with the old leaked version.

I can confirm these issues still exist in the official release.

I'm having the same problem, but when I use bluetooth in my car, it insists on transmitting sounds to my car's bluetooth, even when I repeatedly uncheck Use for media audio. I don't have an option in my car to disable A2DP. My only complaint with Eclair, other than speed (I'm using Bonsai4All, and previously, Syndicate) was that I was running out of space for software (was using EpicExperience). Sometimes, bluetooth won't connect at all, necessitating a phone reboot, or going into airplane moe and then back out. So I'm gathering that this is across the board, regardless of Froyo build? Syndicate didn't work at all with my car.
