I use the Plantronics M3000 Blue Tooth ear piece.
Recently I have been missing 1/3 calls because the Blue Tooth won't pick them up and if I try to answer them on the XDA it comes up with "Unable to answer the call".
I don't know if this problem is related to the BT device but I certainly didn't encounter it before I started using it.
Any ideas on what's causing the problems and how to resolve it?
Thank you.
Fully charged
First we have to do some error tracking
Is the BT headset fully charged,
Secondly when missing the call was headset bonded
Was Bluetooth enabled on XDA and BT haedset enabled
Then we can go to some more serious problem checking
Fully charged
Very good points. I think fully charged may be an issue, but not always.
I am confident with bonding and connectivity.
Points aside, can't I override the BT connection and just collect the call by pressing <Send> on the XDAII?
yes
Yes you can also accept the calls with the handset green button, and then still press the accept button on your bt headset to transfer to that afterwoods, and vica versa
So back to my original problem
On one out of three occasions I am physically unable to answer my phone with the green <send> button, it displays the message:
"Unable to answer call".
Does anyone know why this message appears? Is there a conflict with my BT earpiece or could there be another issue all together?
Thank you.
What BT headset are you using. I have both the Jabra BT200 & 250 and have had issues with both picking up call from the headset.
I use the same set up Plantronics M3000 and XDA II, I also get this issue.
However, If I don't get to the phone in time (when I don't have the BT headset on) I still get the issue, My guess is that I am trying to accept the call but the caller has ended........
unable to answer incomming calls !!
hi - on my xda 2 i get the same problem and i am not using blue tooth at all - the xda 2 occasionally wil not pick up the incoming call. having read other posts on this site i am under the impression that the phone aspect of the xda 2 is prone to glitches and is a weak point........... further information around this point is sought :?

Me too! Even without BT headset!
XDA2 phone is very poor
Me too, XDA2 phone is rubbish
:?
Very happy with my XDA II and works well with my SE HBH-60 BT headset.
I have had the "unable to answer call" message too. Without a BT headset. I was under the impression I got this message when the call had just switched through to voicemail but the XDAII hadn't noticed yet.

Originally, my opinion was that someone is calling my non-voice number. I have three mobile numbers : for voice, fax and data. I have the fax-number redirected to my mobile box (it's integrated messaging system where voice messages are delivered by mail as WAV files and faxes as PNG files). But the data-number isn't redirected. On my previous GSM phone, when someone called my data number, the message "data call - connect terminal by cable/IrDA" was displayed. So on XDA I thaught that "unable to answer call" message is displayed when someone dialed my data-number. But it wasn't true - he dialed my regular voice number, so it is a real serious bug !
Just to add to the record, I too have the problem of being unable to answer calls sometimes. This does not happen all the time though, every now and then but enough to be irritating. It's possible though I can't say for sure that pressing the 'answer' soft button rather than the green hardware button is more reliable as I've not had that problem with the 'answer' soft button.
maybe some of those issues are a result of some of the more exotic gsm stuff like
I have three mobile numbers

diamondjimxda2, I think your problem could be caused by something else.
I am - like you - with Vodafone - and I also use a BT headset (Jabra 200). Every few times I have the problem that I cannot answer incoming calls - bother with and w/o the headset.
For me it doesn't occur directly after a soft reset, but after a few hours of use. So far my best guess is a relation to some software and I currently suspect Pocket Informant being the source... at lest I noticed a few times that answering a call worked before I opened PI and didn't anymore when it is running.
Not that I now think PI is the problem, but something doesn't quite work together as it should...
By the way: my device information is
ROM version 1.03.00 USA
Radio Version 1.05.14
Ext ROM Version 1.03.43
I have an XDA Exec and am using it with a Sony ericsson HBH 662 Bluetooth headset. They work absolutely great together and i can voice dial from my bt headset perfectly using the inbuilt Voice dialing.
However, i was attracted to Microsofts version of this, MS Voice Command, because it will verbally anounce the name (or number) of the caller. This, i thought would be simply perfect to use with the HBH 662, as it would save me from having to take the thing off my ear every time to see whos calling. (still much simpler than opening up the Exec!!)
I have installed the demo version of MS Voice Command and find that the caller id announcement only works on the device itself and NOT the BT headset. This defeats the object of me getting it, so i would really really like to know if anyone has a solution to this at all?
Please someone out there help me as if i could get this to work then im a very happy bunny!
Hi Goonerfish
you need to follow this thread:

best,
mikey mike
Hi Mikey Mike,
Thanks for that. I had seen that thread but was unsure whether that would also allow the caller id announcements to be heard on the headset?
I know that with that thread you are able to voice command from the headset, but it is unclear as to whether the device sends the sound (incoming caller id) to the headset?
Have you tried this and can you confirm that it will work?
Also, i have noticed that the caller id alert is coming out pretty quiet? You had the same problem and do you know a way around that?
Many thanks
Goonerfish
hi goonerfish
no - the incoming caller id doesn't go to the headset - no idea how you do that - sorry.
the caller id alert conflicts with the ringtone so tends to be drowned out a bit - i find it really clear for appointments.

Friends,

Hi
Try Holding the Green answer button for about three seconds
That should activate the Loudspeaker ...
Radio 1.06.00 is nice as it improves the speakers loudness you mifght want to upgrade your radio stack if you haven't done so yet
Hello folks, I'm happy to have found this wonderful forum.
My question is, I have had my MDA for 2-3 weeks now, just received my bluetooth hands free device (Plantronics Discovery 640) my problem is for some odd reason, I can't answer *call waiting* calls with the Discovery 640. For some odd reason I keep sending people to voicemail when I click the button on the hand free, the only way for me to accept a call waiting calls, is buy press the talk button on the phone it self.
Is there something I need to enable in order to make the phone and handsfree work as one, so I can use the button on the handfree to answer the call waiting calls? is so any advice will be greatly appreciated.

I am using the Cingular now AT&T 8525 with WM6, Voice Command 1.6 and a Plantronics Voyager 510 Bluetooth Headset. I would like to be able to voice dial to call digits "call one, two, three, four,...." Is there a program that will allow me to do that? Currently I am having problems with the VC 1.6, I can tell it to call someone and then it dials and rings but as soon as they answer it drops the "hands free" and I have to turn it on again. It just started happening.
Any help or suggestions out there?
Thanks
