Droid 3 voice dialing issues with bluetooth

I just received my Motorola Droid 3 on Monday. I'm having issues using voice dialing with my Samsung WEP590 bluetooth headset. No trouble activating the voice dialing on the phone but it never dials the correct name. I did the voice training on the phone but it didn't help. Yes, English is my native language. Saying "call home" made the phone ask if I wanted to "email" someone. Very frustrating since I travel for my job and voice dialing over bluetooth is essential.

I tried to do voice dialing without bluetooth and had the same issue. Is anyone else having this issue? Is there a third party app I can use?

thanks for any help.

Good Afternoon, dtownfb!

I researched bluetooth information about the device and the headset. I found no related concerns from other users. It would appear to be a hardware related issue on either the phone or headset. Have you been able to use another bluetooth with the device successfully? Have you tried the bluetooth paired with another phone and used the voice dialing feature successfully? We can eliminate the issue by asking these two questions. The problem lies in where we can duplicate the problem.

Please advise your findings. If it is deemed an issue with your Droid 3, please feel free to PM me so I can assist further with options to correct the issue.

Thank you and have a great day!

I have been having similar issues with my Jawbone Era and the Droid 3. I find voice dialing with the bluetooth headset to be very innacurate. It often requires multiple attempts before the phone will correctly recognize the command. I have tried establishing the bluetooth pair again without any improvement. I am not certain what else can be done.

jack007,

Hi there!

I'm still researching this as a potential issue. However, I have not found other reports of this outside of this forum. Because it's developing with different bluetooth models, I'm trying to get more info. Please PM me with your mobile number and MEID (Settings>About Phone>Status).

Thank you!

For the jawbone era turn of noise canceling and it'll work better. I ended up giving up on my Era and selling it for $50 locally. Right now I am using my old platronic and it works very well.

Voice training doesn't help much. I find in most cases any voice dialing for Android tends to not work well overall. Often at times you have to cancel and try again and it'll work better. Sometimes you have to disconnect your BT and reconnect it(don't have to unpair it).

Go into your voice recognition settings and try setting it to the lowest speed, I had to do that with my Droid r2d2.
