Must KILL VOICE COMMAND!! - Page 3

**TurboFool** · #1 (**permalink**) 02-18-2009, 05:17 PM

There's a button on the phone that activates voice command? I've never noticed. I use it only from my Bluetooth (far from useless, it's one of the most necessary features on my phone), and have never once accidentally activated it on the phone. Occasionally I brush the button on my headset, but then I just say "cancel" and I'm good to go.

What button activates it on the phone?

If you hold the talk button it activates it I thought.

i have the same problem, i use the regular headset the phone came with and wear the wire under my shirt at work, when i pick stuff up like heavy boxes the button always gets pressed and it starts ringing. it drives me crazy! I have to drop the box, reach in my pocket, and try to end the call before its too late. i end up doing it every 2 seconds

Did you find any of the folders at all?? I apologize for not remembering where the 5 or 6 i deleted were but if you really want it gone, just go through each folder and everything that says voicecommand delete it.

I wiped out anything I could find that read voicecommand, still didn't do it...

Is the voice command icon still there in the settings? After i soft reset once or twice it just stopped working, i can't activate it to save my life. I also used total commander to attempt to delete it and also to try and rename the .exe file, although it didn't let me do it i'm starting to think that played a part in why it doesn't work anymore. Try to soft reset a couple times and try to re-activate it, there are about 8-10 voice command folders i believe in the registry so make sure they're all gone and then use total commander to try edit the .exe file and see if that helps, it never let me do it but like i said, i think it helped to kill it. Let me know.

EDIT

Just for further confirmation i attempted to use voice command with my bluetooth headset as well and it wouldn't do anything. To elaborate on what to do with total commander, find the exe file in the windows folder, make sure it's not set to "read-only" anymore, then attempt to rename and delete it. Guarantee i don't have voice command anymore.

This is why I use my vogue headphones plus they let you control the volume too. I love VC but it can be annoying sometimes.

I would imagine if you just use resco to rename the voice command .exe in the windows folder that would probably do the job

I don't hate VC nor do I love it. However, I have never accidentally activated it. I sometimes use the headphones that came with it to listen to music. But while driving I use my bluetooth headset. I just recently discovered that holding down the talk button activates VC. I forget where I read that (not on PPC geeks). The reason I don't love the program because it doesn't always recognize my commands it will say "Please Repeat" I do and it still doesn't. Aside from that happening occassionally I actually think it is a good program that offers more than just calling people in your contacts.

As for what to do to disable it. I agree with all of the suggestions here. Maybe although I doubt it Microsoft may have a KB on removing it. Check their site for any instructions or check out the Total Access for Microsoft users another poster might have the same issue and a MS rep may have responded with a solution.
