Bluetooth Tools & Nokia Handsfree Advice?

I'm aware of the various BT issues with the XDA II, and therefore installed BT Tools thinking it may allow me to use my handfree kit. Unfortunately I'm experiencing problems and not sure if this is me doing something wrong or there is a problem with the software. Basically the XDA II does not route either incoming or outgoing calls via the handfrees unit. I have do the following:-
1. Installed the latest BT Tools.
2. Created a bond with the Nokia Handfree kit, when prompted for the BT profile (the BT Tools icon screen) I select headset only.
3. Enable BT on the XDA II
When I make or receive a call is there any button or menu I should be selecting to enable the handsfree unit?

From the Today screen, make sure bluetooth headset mode is enabled.

And if Bluetooth Headset Mode does not appear on the today screen:
Start -> Settings -> Today -> Items and make sure Profile is checked. That will put the headset mode switch on the Today screen.

Thanks for the suggestions, I must admit I had missed the headset profile on the Today screen.
Even with the device paired, BT enabled & the Headset enable neither incoming or outgoing calls are routed through the handsfree unit.
Any other suugestions welcomed...

With the new bluetooth tools you need to transfer the call to the headset...
I find the best way when dialing is to have the phone ready to dial, then i hit the answer button on the headset causing the phone to dial & transfer sound to the headset @ the same time.
When answering the call the headset should ring and you press the answer button on the headset to recieve the call.

When you say press the headset button are you referring to the headset icon on the XDA or the Nokia handsfree button?
If its the Nokia button , I'll try this tomorrow, if not, then the icon does not ring and when receiving a call it is covered by the incoming call window.
Many thanks...

Yep thats what I thought, I think I can confidently say there is a compatability issue with using the current version of BT Tools with the new Nokia CK-7W handsfree kit.
I've read the user manual for the handfree kit and that refers to switching/transferring the call between the BT devices using the button. The unit clicks as if there's something happening, but no call is heard, the unit works perfectly with a BT phone connected both Nokia & Motorola.

I would try uninstalling pocket BT tools - for using a headset it is of no additional value anyway. I do not have it installed and have never had any problems making or receiving calls with my SE HBH-30 headset.

Try using the earlier version of bluetooth tools, make sure you uninstall the version you have and also unbond/remove bluetooth pairings, rebond after successful install.

Pocket Bluetooth Tools is perfect! This is what I'm looking for, except I can't figure out how to listen to music thru my bluetooth headset.
Thanks for the great tool though, now I can make calls with my headset.

The BIG advantage is battery life and not having to re-enable the headset profile each time you switch on the phone! With both PBT and/or Profile not displayed, I also get more Today real estate to play with.
With BT on all the time, I'm lucky to get four hours usage out of my Xda II, with PBT turning it off after five minutes the time can go up to almost seven. Sure, there is a short lag between call coming in and the headset (HBH-65) ringing but I can live with that and it even works well with Pocket Zen Phone. I also like the last number redial facility it adds to my headset. PBT rocks!

I found one problem with this program. My device won't automatically turn off after installing this tool. The backlight turns off, but not the device after certain minutes set. Who do I report the problem too.

i have got this problem to carnt get the xda i to connect to my car blue tooth hands free kit it finds the kit but nothing gome on guy get ya thinking heads on n help :idea: to revolve this problem

Hi everyone,
well, I got the same problem :x with my XDA2, also called Qtek 2020, and Nokia carkit 112. It just does'nt work, even with BT tools. But I wonder how you get the icon screen while connecting to your Nokia carkit...cause mine is going straight back to the "Bluetooth connected devices" screen. I only got the icon screen, enabling the profile selection, while connecting to my Nokia 6310i phone.
Let's hope that HTC is gonna come up with Handsfree profile soon...
Regards to all, special ones to our OZ friends!! Mates, I really enjoyed living in Sydney, even if Italy is quite convenient as well.

Parrot 3200 LS-COLOUR and Jasjar

Hi,
Have anyone try that combination ?
Address phonebook synchronization ? Is it working ?
Any Echo problems ?

I bought the 3400GPS for the girlfriend, same device but with GPS, it works very well, only downside is you have to manually push the contacts to the Parrot one by one.. She is running the latest O2 ROM without any BT Caller ID Software installed, the GPS hardware on the 3400 works extremely well with TomTom..

Thank you very much. Cant you not dail from the ppc using voice dial?
If photos are stored and sent with your phone contacts, they can be displayed on the screen. Is this working ?

I believe you can use the voicedial, its something I havent tried but you can assign voicedial to the parrot contacts once you have cross transferred them.

How do you transfer the contacts? Is it done automaticaly?
How abou the caller ID picture? this sync as well?
Is there a power connector that goes into your cigaret ligher place for the Parrot?

you send the contacts and photos one by one from the phone.
The Parrot is hard wired into the car either through the ISO connector of the stereo or some other cable.

Thank you!
Is there an echo when speaking? how about the other side ?

One more question!
DO you actualy see the name and number of the caller or only the number ?

because the contact is in the Parrot then you see the number and photo on the parrot, its only using the phone for the connection out, incoming is identified by number then cross referenced with the parrot list.
Theres no echo at all.. thats from exec to exec with parrot.

Hi Tonyb15re, I was wondering if you can confirm the following about the 3400 ls - gps parrot kit, when installed via iso connection or specialist cable if required can you do the following?
1. Run tomtom software and windows media for music playback simultaneously? (tomtom muted)
2 Run tomtom software and make/receive phone calls simultaneously??
3.Run tomtom software, windows media and make/receive phone calls simultaneously - obviously win media would need to pause and tomtom would shut up while call in progress????
Many Thanks for your answer

tytn and BT

Is there any possible way to repair the BT annoying thing?
I've got a Parrto BT set in my car and the tytn disconnects all the time, when I achieve the connections I cannot transfer my contacts...
Thanks for your help

Hi,
Which model of Parrot car kit is it? I use the CK3100 (the one with the LCD) and it works except for the usual TyTN switching BT off when it disconnects from the Parrot after stopping the car. Sync works fine.
Might also be worth looking in the Parrot forums at http://www.driveblue.com/
Gav.

Parrot
I also have the 3100!!
When I get into the car it doesn't recognize me. I need to go to congiguration and establish the link, the it seems that it starts to sinchronize the agenda but it doesn't!!!

Hi again.
Is there any chance you have the power cables to the Parrot CK3100 the wrong way round? If that is the case then the Parrot CK3100 will forget the pairing to your phone and you will need to re-pair everytime. The easiest way to fix this is to reverse the wires at the fuse.
Basically there are 2 wires on the Parrot Parrot CK3100, one perminent to the battery for saving the memory and the other is the ignition. When the ignition goes to 12v then the Parrot CK3100 powers on and tries to connect to the phones in its pairing memory list (upto 5).
Do you know which firmware is on your Parrot CK3100? The latest is 4.15b > it's under the Advance menu.
Gav.

Don't think so
I don't think so because it worked perfectly well with my Blackberry!

Got my TyTN yesterday (had a Wizard) and so far it works just fine with my CK3100. Syncs nice and fast and connects within 10 seconds. I did install Jetware mobile extender to make the display a little better. Haven't experienced the TyTN turning BT off yet...

Hi Pablete,
Strange. I can only suggest re-pairing and updating the Parrot to the latest firmware rev.
Hi Scott,
What advantage does Jetware mobile extender give?
Gav.

Jetware changes the "network OK" to the real network name, adds signal and battery bars, adds the phone ringtone instead of the Parrot ringtone and several other cool features.

Not completely sure I understand the question? If you meant to ask if it is possible to do voice dialing in the carkit instead of the phone then head to the voice commands menu, and in the bottom you'll find an option to change where voice commands are processed; carkit or phone.

i meant when i push the parrot green button the application voice dialer switches on on my TYTN, but no beep can be heared tru the car speakers?
with the newest cyberon voice dialler i can not confirm or redial, even if used outside the car?
Any suggestions

Microsoft Voice Command 1.6?

Do any of you have MSFT VC 1.6 installed on the Advantage? I know there were many issues with this software app and the TYTN (such as notifications through speaker and being forced to apply a major registry settings tweak). Can someone confirm that using MSFT VC 1.6 works perfectly with the Advantage or if there are similar problems like with the TYTN?
Thanks

I copy that! Work like a charm on my Ameo.

Yup, it all works perfectly on my Ameo, even issuing commands thru bluetooth is working fine, which was a pig to sort out on the Universal.

Can you please tell me how you got your msft 1.6 voice command working? My audio still routes through to the speaker, not the BT headset. Do you have to do anything to get it working?
I went through all the other forums about this, nothing works.
~Sigh~

I installed it - and it all worked, no tweaking required.

Have you set the "Notifications" settings to direct the audio to Bluetooth only?

What about Voice Command 1.5?
Has anyone got 1.5 to work?
When I try, I just get "Voice Command has encountered a problem. Restart Voice command and try again"
I've tried installing it both to Main Memory, and Microdrive. I've tried resetting it both before and after installing.
No joy.
Anyone else have more luck?

I have had same issue with v1.5 going to try v1.6 hope it works ok

Doesn't really work on my Advantage. Works just like it did on the Tytn.
Activating MSVC thru headset works. All audio comes thru speaker phone. Notifications do not go thru headset only thru speakerphone
And yes, I have notifications set to onlu bluetooth..Oh Well

strange mine one works.....didn't change anything

Mine works flawlessly through bt when initiated from the device. However, I am unable to initiate with my Jabra BT8010

I found out that if I uncheck the Password Protected box in MSVC settings' dialogue that it works fine.

activate Voice Command via BT Headset?
Can you activate the BT via the BT headset? I remember trying one long itme ago on a Blue Angel and I had to configure a button on the device to activate it. Does it work there?
Thank you.

Have you changed the mode to phone on you BT8010s? Otherwise it just keeps playing/pausing your music.

Works perfectly on the three x7500's I purchased. ;-)

I've been using the Mocrosoft voice commnd v.1.6 for a few weeks now. I have the US version, which unfortunately have a different dialing rule from ours in Australia. So, you can't use the dial funtion - only the call funtion would work in Australia. For those not familiar, "dial command" is supposed to let you dial a number. whereas "call command" lets you call a contact by name or nick name in your address book. The numbers, to be acceptable and recognised by the dial command must be one of the following formats:
nnn-nnnn
nnn-nnn-nnnn
1-nnn-nnn-nnnn
n-1-1
international dialing with a + or 0 prefix.
I was puzzled as to why I was unable to use the dial command, and to me a while to realise the limitation.
I heard from other forum participant that he has used the UK version, which allow him to dial the australisan numbers.
If you use this product, could you kindly look into the help file under tips for making calls and list all the number formats acceptable to the UK versions please?
Thanks

Have now purchased VC 1.6 German - disappointed....
In my car I have an FWD audio com car kit - no audio comes from the car kit. Everything is going throug Ameo speaker and mic. Therefore impossible to use in car while driving.
Settings: password unchecked, BT only.
What can I do ?

Is your BlueTooth turned on? Is your car kit paired using the Hands-free profile?
TO CHECK:
In Comm Manager, go to Setting menu and select BlueTooth.
In "Mode" tab, made sure BT is on!
In "Devices" tab,
* If it shows in the list tap on it and see whether Hands Free is enabled.
* If it does not show, tap "Add New Device..." and follow the steps.

BT keep alive possible?

hi all,
is there a programme that would keep the BT link alive?
the problem is that my BT headset connection drops after a while and i have to repair the set. the headset is virtually unusable due to this....especially during driving.
i have checked the headset elsewhere and it works perfectly. tested it with Nokia 6600, Htc prophet, samsung mobiles.
thanx

And i thought I was the only one with this issue
When i have my phone linked to my BT carkit after a call ended a) i cannot receive any other calls or b)
the BT connection is interrupted...
really annoying
I did start with an application that will disconnect the BT after a call has ended and re-initilize it
would this work for you?

Yes it can be done via this small application that I've attached to my reply, basically what it does is it lets configure which folder to receive all files received via bluetooth on you storage card or phone memory as you please and it gives extra infoon bluetooth transfers like ETA and transfer rate and "IT KEEPS BLUETOOTH ALIVE at all times" so you can receive bluetooth files even when your device is not active.
