8525 and Headset Issue
I have been using the voice dial option on my Cingular 8525 without any problem since day #1 and it is great, especially after downloading that file on XDA that allow me to reprogram the 5th pushbutton for voice dial.

I also admit that i am knew to the headset arena, having just purchased, for voice dial and incoming calls, the 'Jawbone' device, which was highly rated on CNET and PCWorld.

It doesn't work. What I mean is it rings and I can answer phone calls and it sounds OK, but when I go to voice dial out, the phone either gives me a message that it didn't understand my request or I get a wrong phone number. Failure rate on voice dial is 98%.

The manual says to rerecord the voice tag with the Jawbone on, for maximum effectiveness. so i turned it on, put it on, went to voice dial and just re-recorded the voice tags, still with 98% failure.

So, is this how it is with the 8525 and ALL headsets or do I return and try a different headset? Are there tricks to get this working? If I could just get 10 numbers to work, that would be 75% of my calls. Thanks.

works for me. I just look at the screen and wait for the voice dialer window to open, then say the voice tag

Radimus, it sounds to me from your reply that you are using voice dial from the phone directly, correct?
That works great for me also.
What about with a headset?
if if successful, which model?

from both phone and headset...
I typically only use headsets while driving and the phone is mounted on the dash

Would you care to share the make and model headset that you are using; maybe a different brand will help me out!
