voice command stopped working

Hi all,

I have more than 1000 contacts in my N80. Initially a few hundreds of them where having voice command enabled while for the rest it was disabled. I thought there is a limit about it.

Since I found no way to select which contacts have it and which haven't it, I though that if was able to sync first all the contacts I want to have it enabled, I could indirectly select which ones to have with voice command enabled.

So I removed all the contacts, but when I re-synced the phone with Outlook, none of the contacts has voice command enabled.

I repeated the whole procedure several times and rebooted the phone, but no luck. Voice command it totaly disabled now.

When I give a voice command, the phone does nothing after the progress bar.

Any ideas?

Yes, I tried that without luck.

I found however that by setting the phone to some other language and then back again to my original setting fixed the problem of not having any voice commands on contacts.

The problem that remains, is that I cannot select which contacts I want to have a voice command assosiated with them. The phone seems to have a limit about it, and there is an internal logic to select them which I can't figure how it works.

By the way, having so many contacts on this phone makes the addressbook almost useless. It is very hard to write the first letter of a contact on the initial list of contacts (it is not responsive), and there is a pause of 20-30 seconds once you have a contact selected to make a call to it. This is why voice command is the only alternative to make a call today... 😊 )

I discovered if I did not have a primary or default number selected for the contact it would not work on voice command.
