Bluetooth voice dial problem

[rabbit77]

I had the same problem and rebooted my phone and now calling from my Bluetooth headset works!

I had same problem on my Storm with a Motorola H710 Blue tooth and finally rebooted my phone (removed battery) and now it works fine. Can call again using my headset.

I used the Motorola H710 and head the same problem as you. The only solution was to pull the battery (not very good while driving). If your experience is like mine it will happen again as it did to me and will just repeat. Since then I tried the jawbone II and a new Storm with similar failure "initializing, please wait" . It usually happens after a call ends and then the other party disconnects first. Please get back to this thread periodically and update us on your experience.

Today was a great day. Had to do 3 battery pulls in the course of 2 hours after Voice Activated dialing froze (initializing Please wait) on the Storm. It does it 25-50% of the time after a call is ended.

I bought a Motorola H710 headset to go with my new BB8310. Connected it up and it worked flawlessly from the start. Then the headset died and I replaced it. This is when I started getting the initializing; please wait... message. After reading through this forum thread I tried a few things that others suggested.
Power Down and remove/replace the battery. no luck.
Powered down the headset while the message was up. no luck.
Put the BB in the holster, removed it and the headset worked. Put the BB in the holster and tried again and it worked.
Now it has only been working a short time, and others have mentioned it stops working again after a few days, so I may end up with the same problem after a while, but it got the thing working. Just thought I'd share.

Since I upgraded the firmware in the Storm to the latest official one. Pro blem has been resolved. I am now using the Plantronics Voyager Pro

When I turned the Bluetooth earpiece back on I could voice dial without issue.

My BB/Headset/Carrier are:
BB 8830 WE
Motorola H500
VZW

I, too, have had the same problem since getting the phone in June. Jippo's fix inspired me to try something very similar, which also seems to work:

After power up, and before turning on the BT headset, I use Voice Dialing once from the handset (using either the Convenience key on the side of the phone or selecting the Voice Dialing app on the screen). The BB performs its initializing and scanning functions and then starts working. I then turn on my headset and it works, as well.

I would appreciate it if others let me know if this works for them.

On a side note, Voice Dialing from my RAZR using the same BT worked much faster than VoiceSignal on my BB.

Problem: Phone is stuck in "Intialize" screen

Just pull the battery.

Well then why haven't they fixed it in 2 years?!! I swear to god this phone is piece of ****! I can never get voice dialing to work and I have the most current OS at of today. I have a storm and I'm getting a new phone when my contract is up in a few months.
