[Q] Pressing bluetooth earpiece button brings up music instead of voice dial. - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

On my bluetooth earpiece, tapping the button on it brings up the music player instead of voice dialing. Is there any way to fix/override this behavior (yes, I am rooted)?

thats weird cuz when i press the pause button on my ipod headphones it brings up dialer lol. i think htc got something backwards...

In my case it did the same thing on my old Env3, but I was hoping that there was some way to configure it on the Thunderbolt (even if it requires root).

It is setup for multi button-multi function not single,not sure how to change it on the custom roms but htc tech support will walk you thru it

Anyone know how to off voice commands?

Anyone using the razr headset with the phone? everytime i workout with this headset i feel like banging my phone on the blardy wall..
For some strange reason it automatically dials my recent calls. I think its something to do with the microphone..when i pant or take deep breaths the voice command thingy comes on, and sometime suddenly just randomly call people...good god its annoying as hell!
anyone know how to disable it? the only reason i use this headset over my seinheriser is cause its LOUD. when your in the gym you need loud bass to keep the pump!
Have you tried restarting the phone? I've had Voice Commands go crazy on me and not let me use my headset to control my music. A simple restart fixed it.
Have you tried a different headset? Maybe you got some sweat in the mic and it screwed something up. I've had this happen also. Do the Sennheisers you mentioned have a mic with music control?
If you're rooted you can freeze Voice Command using Titanium Backup.
Ill try freezing it and see how it goes. No my Sennheisers do not have a mic, thats why it does not happen when i use them, but the sound produced is softer, which is why i dont use em.
Restarting does not help.
Ran in to the same problem with my brother's phone; the problem is voice commands hijacks the headset button. There is an easy way to disable that, for those who are not rooted or don't want to freeze the app: go to settings, Applications and change the double-tap home launch setting to None. Now headset works as it should and controls PowerAmp, rather than popping up voice commands every time.
I had the same issue with mine. Freezing it with Titanium worked perfectly.
If you have an issue with it stopping your music as if disconnected it, I haven't found a fix for that.
And i always find best sony earphones with isolation and with noise cancelling, you'll enhance max trebles in sound settings, get PowerAmp to enhance on basses and for sake of this gorgeous combination forget about microphone.
Original earphones are always not good enough. Always must buy separately.

Use "rom tool box" and freeze

U can go to settings and changing the double tap home button to something else. Ur probably hitting the home button twice during ur work out.

Has anyone been able to disable voice commands on stock? It's annoying trying to use pandora with headphones that have a button because the voice command prompt keeps popping up. One work around I've found is to use Headset Button Controller app.
You can also use media button router.... its free in the play store... allows you to map bluetooth device buttons to a specific app or apps... necessity with the ICS leaks because android hijacks the play button for voice commands if you use Pandora or a third party app to play music...

[Q] how to perform voice search on bluetooth headset on S3

or it be the infamous S-voice, anything will do.
I just wanna call people using my voice without having to even see the screen, I was able to do this with xperia devices. How to on the S3 ?
Many thanks.
On my bluetooth fm transmitter if I press the call button s voice opens up. If I long press the button it dials my last called person. But a short press of the call button opens it up and then I can say who I want to call.

[Q] BT Headset Button Customization

I recently purchased a Plantronics Legend Bluetooth headset, it has 2 buttons on it, one of them when held auto opens Androids default voice commands. This works ok but is no where as intuitive as some of the other voice control apps such as utter, I am trying to find a way to link the shortcut for utter to that button or a way to have Android launch Utter instead of voice commands. I am currently on the newest stock gingerbread rom for Droid X and am rooted.

Not Getting VZW Voice Dialer on LG BT Headset

I picked up an HBS-730. It sounds good, the Call button works fine for picking up a call or last number redial (by two short presses of Call) but when I long press it I don't get the voice dialer (or any other voice app).
Is there a file in System that I need to edit or run? I do have the LG and Google voice components installed. I've also tried unpairing and repairing the headset.
On a long press I end up with a roughly half second "beep" in the headset.
Alternately, anyone know of an app that captures a BT Call longpress, that you can then assign an app to?
(It sounds like trapping a longpress is something done in a .jar file, not a case of just touching the .kl files)
Thanks!
Hmmm....
Check your BT volume.
Volume is fine on calls, and playing music.
Headset Mic also works fine on calls and for voice commands if I manually launch voice dialer or Google search.
It just seems that a long press of the Call button isn't properly launching voice dialer, that's why I'm looking for an apk or a setting to edit.

The LG voice dialer is bland, try this. I know it works.

I tried the VoiceCommand app from Play Store, unfortunately same problem. I don't get a voice ommand prompt, on either a single short press or a long press of the Call button on my BT headset.
A single short press does work to connect an incoming call, or disconnect, any a double short press does activate last number redial, so I believe my headset is overall working okay, but I am not hooking a voice command app at all. On a single short press nothing happens, and on a longpress I get a beep, but that is all.
Headset volume works fine, the mic works fine (if I manually launch VoiceCommand, whether the LG app or Google, it picks up fine), just that my phone isn't linking the Call button to launch any VoiceCommand app, on either a single press or a long press.
I disabled the lg voice command and use Google and it works for me

Did you ever get to the bottom of this as I am having the same issue. On my Xperia Z2 I can choose what I want to activate when I press the call button on my car kit but on the G3 it mutes my radio but never brings anything up on the phone.
I have also tested it with a different bluetooth kit and it still doesn't do anything so it is definitely a phone issue.
I froze some files and maybe froze something I shouldn't have, but factory resets are not doing any good for me as they seem to only partially reset my phone (Frozen apps still do not appear even after factory resetting and also flashing a totally new firmware!)
My G3 will not allow me to Voicedial and I was hoping someone with an operative G3 on their car kit could download a program called Clear Defaults or Default App Manager Lite and advise me what program they have as Default for Voice Dialing (I am not too sure what the heading is exactly as my G3 doesn't show it at all)
Clear Defaults

Default App Manager
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appiator.defaultappmanager&hl=en
I am trying to get troubleshoot this issue instead of returning it as I bought mine from eBay.
Is there actually someone who has the voice-dialing in his G3 working? I'm waiting also for a solution.
Voice dialing with Google works fine on the phone for me. Via Bluetooth in my car is also fine. nothing in default apps mentions voice dialing.
Oooooo, the voice dialer in the phone.... mine does not work either.
Does there happen anything when long-pressing the button in your car/on your Bluetooth headset?
Long pressing the button does nothing in the car or not.

Voyager Legend and Edge - no access to phone Voice Commands

I am trying to use the voice command feature w/my Galaxy S4 w/4.4.2 (KitKat, NK1).
Voyager and Edge headsets have a feature where a 2 second press on the Mute button when not in a call will launch Voice Search on the phone so you can use voice commands from the headset (e.g., "Call xyx on mobile") to make calls.
While connected to my phone but not in a call I press the Mute button for two seconds. I hear a brief low tone (from the headset) and then nothing - I never hear the Google Voice search tone/prompt coming from the phone through the headset.
Everything is configured properly as far as I can tell:
1. Audio over Bluetooth and requests over Bluetooth are enabled in Google Search.
2. Bluetooth commands are enabled in S4 settings when the phone screen is locked.
3. Phone is connected via BT to headset.
4. Legend has been granted access to contacts and call history. (Not sure this even matters for this issue.)
5. Firmware has been updated on the Legend to the latest and rebooted the headset and unpaired and paired it again.
I tried disabling S Voice (I never use it, but went ahead and turned it off) and that didn't help.
FWIW, I get the same results with the Edge headset as well. (Also updated to current firmware.) Since both fail I'm thinking that this is a Samsung issue.
Help! Any known work-around to get this to work. This makes the headset useless to make calls w/the phone in my pocket - I have to take my phone out, wake it up, enter my pin, and hit Home to go to the Google voice search prompt and then talk via the headset. Not exactly convenient.
Help! (And thanks!)
Holy Buttons, Batman. Figured it out.
<gulp> Operator error.
Was hitting the wrong button. Call button for 2 secs, not mute/voice command button.
Crawling back under my rock now.
