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.

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
love this phone but don't know if i have a problem or i'm just using it wrong and i'm an idiot,
i use an o2 blue hands free bluetooth and when i get an incoming call it rings nicely in my ear and i press button on the o2 blue and answer the call and it all works beautifully.
however if i'm making the call, i dial the number on the phone press green phone button and the bluetooth doesn't kick in the call stays on the phone.
(you don't press anything on the bluetooth as it don't work that way)
is this a bug or is there a specific way to make a call on the handset so the bluetooth kicks in??
(apologises in advance if i'm missing the blindingly obvious)
Hi, Scottydog -- I've been using the P6500 with a Bluetooth headset (Plantronics Voyager 815) without any problems. Though to the extent that things don't work properly, I have the opposite problem: when I _make_ calls with the headset connected, all is fine; but when I _receive_ them, calls initially go to the handset and I then have to choose "Turn Hands-free On" from the right soft-key menu to get the call on my headset.
Have you tried doing this after you dial calls?
Wish I had something better to suggest!

Hi,
So when you have a Bluetooth headset connected it's a fair expectation for calls (audio) to be routed through to it, right?
When making a call this happens as per expect.
However if you ANSWER a call via the handset itself (hard button or slider) then the call is kept local to the handset, it's only if you answer the call via your button on your Bluetooth headset that the call is routed to there.
Now you can once in the call select the "Handsfree On" from the menu to transfer it to the headset once you've realised your mistake, but surely this is a bit of a pain.. no?
I for one will most of the time physically pick up the handset and take a look who is calling before answering it (unless driving etc), so would like to just press the answer button and away I do.
Ideas anyone?
(Thanks!)

I have the same on my iPhone using my In-car bluetooth.
If I answer using the bluetooth answer button it goes thru the car speakers. If I use the handset answer button, it uses the iPhone itself, though I can then select to change it to the bluetooth from the iPhone.
I haven't received my Brodit cradle for my HD2 yet, so I've not set it up in the car yet, but I'm expecting the same arrangement I guess.

Hmm, I guess it's a case of personal preference - while you and I seem to agree I guess other may like the way it is. The answer is therefore a way to CONFIGURE this behaviour - anyone know if this is possible?
Same thing happens on my Topaz... didn't happen in my Omnia though.
I would like to know a way to alter it as well.
Has anyone tried the Car Kit Mode bluetooth option on the HD2 in the Sense UI 'Settings' tab then 'Other' at the bottom of the list, where you can tick or untick the box for autoconnect? I haven't but would like to know if it works for you.

Not really. A carkit is also a bluetooth headset. When I'm in the car and not driving, I can always choose to answer with the carkit - then everyone in the car can join in the conversation - or answer it on the device, which I prefer when my wife is driving and the kids are in the back. Even though I've made the mistake of using the slider when I really wanted the call on the carkit, I find having the choice a pretty good deal actually.
And besides, when using a headset, who's gonna take the phone out of their pocket to answer the call when all you need do is touch your headset - or better still set it to auto answer on headset calls. And if you really *need* to know who is calling first, why not install MSVC to have the phone tell you who is calling? Seriously, what's the point in using a headset if you're gonna take the phone out of your pocket anyway?
Hi all,
Was wondering if there is a quick way to disable bluetooth or get the phone to not use the bluetooth connection when dialing out. I don't want to disable and then have to re-enable after the call. I want it to work similar to when you get an incoming call and use the answer key on the phone to answer it and the call stays with the unit and not routed to bluetooth ear piece but when you hang up, the bluetooth is still available for the next call. Hope that made sense.
Thanks,
Ho'okani

Hi Ho'okani,
Please try out this software as a (temporary) solution:
http://home.casema.nl/rgschmidt/WM/Downloads/BT Restart_V_1_1_0_PPC.ARMV4.CAB
This will automatically restart the bluetooth connection after ending a phonecall.
Hi all. I need some expert help. I am not as technical, but I am willing to try. My son helped me get the MX quad as I wanted a high end Android that I could hold in one hand to replace my ageing Samsung Vibrant. I got the phone a few days ago, and it will not connect properly to my motorola H730 bluetooth earpiece. It will receive, but not allow me to make calls with the earpiece. I get a double beep when I try to press the button to dial by voice on the earpiece. I can hold the button and get it to redial only. Bluetooth and voice dialing is a must as I am on the road a lot. No problems with my headset and my Samsung Vibrant, any ideas? When connected the bluetooth settings states "connected to phone audio"
PLEASE HELP Thanks
Note--for what it is worth when the phone and earpiece auto paired, although the bluetooth device prompted for the 0000 code, before I could enter it the earpiece announced that it was connected and the phone indicated that it was paired and connected.
Wish I could tell you what's wrong there but I can't.
Have you tried asking the folks over at the official Meizu forums yet?
I've seen a bunch of bluetooth related discussions there.

I might not be at the correct Meizu help forum. Which one should I contact? I contacted one and received several replies that the phone does not support voice dialing and to download an app. I had already downloaded Vlingo, which works, but requires touching the phone--so not really handsfree, and not really through the bluetooth. Am I incorrect in expecting a phone running ICS with bluetooth 2.1+EDP to be able to both receive calls via bluetooth and initiate calls thru voice dilaing via bluetooth? I read all the reviews before I purchased from HK, and no one indicated that bluetooth only received calls. I can live with the other limitations as I am not a real customize, nerdy type; but I do need my bluetooth to phone home when I say so!!!
