Has anyone had problems with the voice activation? I feel like it's not sensitive enough. I'm not sure if it's common or if mine is defected.

worked fine at first, not so after about a year. Hard to activate or won't activate at all.

Mine was pretty sensitive while it was working. A door closed too loudly, a dog bark, or one good cry would set it off. I wouldn't have wanted it to be more sensitive b/c it would have been on ALL the time.

I haven't listened much via that voice function, yet from what little I did I can't recall any objection, complaint or adverse reaction on my part. Sorry if this is not enough recommendation in that regard. Otherwise, this is indeed an excellent and superb product and I wholeheartedly do recommend it highly!

I'm having the same problem. All of the controls work with the music player, I've held down the FFwd button and turned up the phone, but still no sound. I just got it today, so I'm hoping it just needs more charge. It's a nice, rubbery texture. I'm thinking the only satisfaction I'm going to get out of it is watching it bounce really high when I kick it to the curb.

If he FREAKS like you said, this is the LAST phone u want to get. It freezes all the time. I'll dial a number, phone reverts to home screen, 10 seconds later, it'll start ringing, even if u opened something else. Half the time i press a softkey, there is a 5-10 second delay. During that delay, in my frustration i'll press another softkey, then the original key i pressed will open up. I'm not autistic, and i freak out with this phone.

I have occasionally had the same problem. This one seems to have a delay. I have that problem, but not all the time... so I'm guessing there's a delay and you only hear it ring if the person doesn't pick up on the first ring or two (that's just a guess though.) I had the original Roadster and had no issues with it, but this second version constantly frustrates me because of the delay (more when answering calls than calling out.)

yeah, it's voice activated, but the sound quality is pretty bad, I only used it once.

Sorry, I just saw this message. Everything seems to work fine, EXCEPT, there is a clicking noise that is constant while you are talking and extremely annoying. However, I do not know if it is the phone I also bought or the Basic Talk. Hope this helps.

Mine died suddenly on me, after talking to customer service at jawbone, they are sending me a new one for free. I mentioned that it seems like it is happening alot, and they said it definately isn't. If you think about it, people are much more likely to gripe about something than how pleased they are with something. Jawbone has made it right right away. Now, if the second one does it, I'll change my mind. : )

I didn't hear a "voice". When I turn it on and/or plug or unplug it into a power source I get the usual "net" jingle. If you get a voice, let me know!

MS Sauer,Like all of these kinds of gear they don't all work and you have to send them back. I am a PI and can tell you that this device has broken a murder case that would have gone uncharged. I have not had any issue with the voice activation part of the system though. The reason I say this is that it took me three pen cameras before I got one that worked! Good customer service in each instance returning the pens. Good luck. I hope this helps. It IS a good system as no one looks twice at a thumb drive in your hand!

Really, Rebecca, I wouldn't suggest purchasing this. We had our first one, and the display stopped working very early on, so I thought maybe the battery was bad. When I went to try to change it, there was a mini spark or something shorted. I called the company and sent it in after which they did replace it at no charge. However, we never found it precise in terms of being able to determine sound levels. We used it for voice, and it just went all over the place with no ability to control it in any way. Sorry to sound so negative, but that's what happened to us. I think it would probably measure levels but not with any great precision.

Yes I have had more problems with the set also. Voice commands are not close to what they were when I first got it. It began about 3 months after I had it!

its really weird that I got this question today. Up until about 3 days ago it was perfect. People could hear from quite a distance. Now in the car people cannot understand what I'm saying. Its very sensitive but it seems like you're not blocking noise. Its not blocking noise. I was thinking of calling them to find out what was up. Been real disappointed lately period last 3 4 days

The pause button works, but the mic and volume control doesn't. The volume control never works with android products (at least from my experiences), however, I think I might have a faulty mic. Don't quote me on that though.

I've had my phone for 8 months and haven't had a dropped call yet (not that I use it terribly often, but certainly more than 16 times ...), and although the ringing tone is very quiet I have never had trouble with volume or quality of voice. Sounds like you either don't have good coverage where you are or you got a bad phone - have you tried a different phone under the same circumstances?

I was having that trouble as well. I was having a little trouble hearing people, and people on the other end said that they could hear their voices echoing. I did find a fix for it, however. Go under your phone's settings, go to Call Settings (it's under My Device-> Call in my phone), and turn off the Noise Reduction. That worked like a charm for me, and while my audio is still just a little gravely, it's much more clear than before, and people on the other end say it's crystal clear for them.

Thank you all very much for the feedback. I've had my previous phone for going on 6 years now actually, and all calls were placed from my house, where I've made countless calls without a single instance of a dropped call before this new phone. Perhaps I did get a lemon. I'll look into exchanging it (unwisely I purchased it elsewhere). I'm back to using my ancient phone in the meantime. :) Thanks again for the feedback!
