I use my MDA Vario in connection with a Siemens HKW-600 Bluetooth Carkit w/ display.
Everything just works fine, audio is of good quality except for network provider and battery status not being displayed in the carkit's display.
With my previous phone (SE T-630) and my wife's Motorola V3 this does work (displaying T-Mobile and correct battery status) so the problem must be within the MDA Vario.
Trying to solve this I installed JETware software (as recommended elsewhere on this forum). Network provider and battery status were displayed but some settings (such as "use phone ring tones") just can not be disabled. This is very annoying as this caused limitation / cancellation of functionality I do have without this JETware.
Now, as everything else works fine, I only need a solution which enables that network operator and battery status are displayed in my Siemens HKW-600 carkit.
Are there any registry tweaks, utilities or other ways (other than JETWare) to manage this?
Me too!
I have the same problem (T-Mobil MDA III + Siemens HKW-600 Bluetooth Carkit w/ display) and I share your pain! My wife's Moto V360 displays perfectly. In addition, I find that an incoming call causes the Siemens ringer to ring at max volume sometimes so I'm terrified that a call might come in :shock:
Actually, I was just about to write my question when I found yours.
I experienced same with loud ring tones. But a solution is not that hard:
The volume of an incoming call could be lowered by decreasing the volume of the carkit: use the button on the right side of the display.
To compensate for volume while calling: raise the volume on the phone itself.
Hope this is of help for you.
I solved this issue by installing this: http://www.jetwaremobile.com/index.htm. My Qtek now displays the provider, signal strength and is using my ring tone - all that was missing first when paired with my Audi OEM handsfree.

As you might have read, I have installed Jetware and experienced some problems with this, especially the use of the phone ring tone which can not be turned off. I appreciate your reply, but you just recommend what I want to avoid :wink:

I have an i-Mate (v1.52.00WWE) and two (2) BlueTooth headset devices:
Parrot CK v3.11 - Car Kit
M3000 by Plantronics - Ear Piece
Both are bonded, but I guess I can only ever set one as my default at any time (obviously you can't have the call ringing in two places at once - but that would solve the problem!).
Is there a way of switching between them simply?, or having them 'auto select' the correct default profile?, or having them both active at once? I currently have to rediscover them to switch.
Would this be made easier if the i-Mate had both Headset and Handsfree (?) profiles? Is this available?
Hope its not such a silly question :lol:
Thanks in advance,
Ian
I have BT carkit, and BT handsfree,
and I have the same problem.
With my Nokia 6600, it works great,
there's no "default profile",
both works.
Even more confused now
Thanks for the reply - I'm even more confused.
What I ment to say that with the 6600 it works great, :lol:
unlink the i-mate pocket pc. :roll:
I have just purchased the xdaII and found this problem too...
Have you found out any more info on this?
The only thing i can do at the moment is rename the bluetooth device and it then prompts me to set as default...
Ta
Christian
Thanks for the tip
No I have not found out more.
I tried the widcomm drivers, but found headset was all screwed up.
Thanks for the tip on rename. I have been deleting and recreating.
Now we only need a application on the Today that can rename the two BT devices and back.
Maybey a reg.key-file we can 'click' ??
One more of the shortcommings of XDAII in anything related to the BT sofware.
I read about a new ROM version comming out soon, that is supposed to fix the those BT problems, Has anyone more info on that?
:?:

I just rx'd my Plantronics M3000 headset. It bonds to my XDA2 but I cannot for the life of me, answer or make a call with the headset.
1. When searching for a Bluetooth device, it finds the M3000 by Plantronics
2. I highlight it & tap next
3. I enter the bond code
4. I give it a name & tap finish.
Then it asks me, "This Bluetooth device supports headset profile, would you like to set it as your bluetooth headset?"
I answered Yes but I can't do the calling. Should this be answered No?
I originate a call on the XDA2, when it connects, I press and release the headset TALK button, hear a tone in the earpiece but the call never switches to the headset.
I have the green 3 sec blinking green light so unit is on. XDA2 has the blue indicator blinking.
Any feedback would be helpful since you do have the Plantronics,
Regards
Craig
Hi cshields1!
I don't have a Plantronics, but two SE HBH 30 and HBH 35 that work "somehow" with my XDAII.
First I would reccomend you to upgrade your ROM, since the Bluetooth radio stack of version 1.06.01 seem to have improved a bit over the previous ones (just in case you haven't yet)
Second, no matter what you do, actually you would NOT be able to initiate a call from your headset, you just can answer an incoming call and end a call, that is with the poor BT support in the XDAII.
Third, I'm not sure what you do, but please check:
- once your headset is bonded, turn your BT setting back to ON (BT icon on the bottom right of the Today screen)
- be sure your phone is NOT in flight mode
- Check that your "BT headset mode" in Today Screen is enabled
Tell me if this works.
:wink:
Hi everybody,
I completed some tests using my bluetooth car kit (Audi integrated BT MMI car kit). Here is what I saw :
With the original french ROM (1.18.256.2)
Outgoing calls
90% of the calls were interrupted during dialing or connection. The main problem was UMTS stability with the french mobile operator named SFR. After deactivating UMTS/3G and falling back to GSM, 80% of the calls were interrupted during the first minute of communication because of BT unstability.
Incoming calls
Impossible to take a call : half were immediatly interrupted, half were answered using the internal micro instead of the BT one.
With the JasJam ROM (1.20.305.3)
Outgoing calls
After deactivating UMTS/3G support all the calls are stable. Every thing is working fine and the Audi BT car kit works just fine !
Incoming calls
Still impossible to take a call : quite all are not well handled. BT is still unusable to take calls.
I don't think the BT car kit is the problem, because I am using it every day with a Qtek 8310 (Tornado) and both incoming and outgoing calls are well handled.
If you've got some experience, please share it. I am so disapointed that this marvelous TyTN cannot replace my Tornado, only because this "merdique" (<------ french romantic word ) bluetooth functionnality is not working ! :evil:
Arnaud.
Hi Arnaud,
I too have problems - see:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=61594

Im also having problems with carkit.
Jasjam and kjam just dont connect with my carkit (while they pair with it) but Jasjam and all nokia / samsung phones work perfectly well with it. Even Palm treo 650 works.
Is this a problem with iMate sets or with Windows Mobile 5.0?
I've had a friend who also has a TyTN which we tried in my kit and it didn't work. It seems that users with other variants (e.g. Orange) don't have this issue?
Further (non-technical) tests have shown that if you answer or make a call, you can get the audio by going into the call menu and choosing "Turn handsfree off". My uneducated guess here is that there is some issue with the headset feature on the TyTN and by doing this, it resets the headset profile and bingo!
It is a pain in the ar$e doing this for inbound calls, but for outbound it is manageable - you simply dial the number and whilst it is connecting, do the menu->Turn handsfree off workaround. Hopefully the new ROM will fix it - when it arrives!!
Hi All,
Just to put in my experience.
I have an Audi A4 with a Gen II car kit. As there is no handset holder for the TyTn I am using the Bluetooth function.
I have the Orange SPV M3100 variant, which works absolutley fine with the Audi Bluetooth, with one problem....
As I don't yet have a car charger, when the phone goes into sleep mode, it appears to disable bluetooh (I occasionally get a 'BT OFF' signal on the car display). Switching off bluetooth, then switching on again on the phone tends to kick it back into life where it stays live for another ten minutes or so until the phone dozes off again..
I have heard of a few people who have also diagnosed the problem as possbily the phone going to sleep to conserve battery, and solved the problem with an in car charger. I will report back when I have a charger.
Again, I do not suspect the Audi car kit as I have previoulsy used this (on Bluetooth) with a Nokia 6230 and MDA Vario, with no problems at all (the Vario was externally powered from the car).
Maybe you TyTn owners can flash to the Orange ROM ;-)
Same Scenario Different Cast
I have a Lexus GS with BT.... here's my Undesired results
actually, the only Problem i am having is very annoying.
If i receive or make a call after i pair with the Car kit, EVERY Thing is fine,
The sound quality is good, the response time is good (no Delay).
BUT after that call is ended, the BT itself on the jasjam TURNS off...
so i have to turn the BT on After EVERY Single Call (either made or received)
Is this Normal, I don't think so, but i had to ask
I have the Original Ship ROM Arabic version
My BMW handsfree works just fine with my TyTN. No issues other than an occasional BT off (loss of pairing). Interestingly, it's not sleep mode related since it usually works just fine in that mode. Generally, disabling Bt then re-enabling it re-establishes the connection then all is well. I have no issues making or receiving calls.
No doubt CarKit issues will be addressed when HTC releases their ROM update. Recent information tells me that this update is pretty much guaranteed to be an AKU3.0 variant. There's a tremendous amount of BT stack improvements in this AKU that should improve this as well as A2DP bluetooth issues.
.. No issues other than an occasional BT off (loss of pairing). ..
Interesting! I have the same issue with MTeoR.. I wonder if MteoR and TyTn are based on the same HTC device PLATFORM.
Updated my Parrot CK3100 to the newest version and things still don't work too well. When I start a call on the Parrot it takes around 20 seconds to start dialing on the phone, and when I receive a call I have to pick it up, place it on hold, and retrieve from hold to be able to hear the other side.
I wonder what/why they changed in the Bluetooth stack, it worked perfectly on my Wizard...
Renault Laguna II integrated BT kit
Works OK with my Laguna system except for the signal strength indicator. It appears that this information is not sent or translated onto the screen in the car.... Calls are fine though, and I noticed that the car rings immediately, the moment the phone does. Could be because the TyTN has the "turbo lag" explained in another thread tho
Cheers

Try installing Jetware mobile extender, that adds signal and battery bars as well as network name.
I enabled Remote SIM Acces in the Bluetooth Menu and now my contacts sync on my Audi Bluetooth Car kit with WM 6.1.
Does anyone know which bluetooth carkits work without problems in combination with the Hermes/TyTN?
With the Parrot CK3000 Evolution I have now, I have the known problems with the Bluetooth turning itself of on the Hermes/TyTN.
I switched to the Parrot when I had an Magician/MDA Compact and a Nokia CK-7W and that combination had an awful amount of echo for the other party. The Parrot didn't have the echo, but I had to reset my MDA Compact quite often to get it to work properly.
I wouldn't mind getting something else again, but which one? Is there a bluetooth Carkit out there that works as it is supposed to with the TyTN?
Hi SomeJoe
There seem to be mixed reports on this - and it has been discussed previously:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=276272&highlight=bluetooth
It seems that a "true" TyTn has issues, whereas Orange and others do not - most likely better ROM/BT?
Irrespective, try going into menu when making/receiving a call and selecting "Turn handsfree off". This seems to reset the headset profile and turns the audio on. Easy for outgoing, fiddly when answering incoming but manageable until the perky ROM update (hopefully) fixes it
Thanks for the reply, but knowing T-Mobile it might be a while before firmware updates show up.
Can anyone name specific brand and types of carkits that they have good experiences with?
I need some help here and I have tried searching but couldn't find anything relevant. I am using WM5 on a Cingular 8525.
I recently purchased a Jabra BT8010 and have been having a few issues:
1) My phone no longer turns off automatically (i.e. on standby) after the specified time in Power Management. Is there a fix?
2) The audio still skips when listening to music after installing Sleuth's A2DPfix. I found that if I reduce the BT audio quality to High using HTCTweaks I usually don't get any skipping (without Sleuth's fix). What is the best A2DP setting for WM5? I know there is a thread for WM6 A2DP settings but does it apply also for WM5?
No one has any info?
Come on guys. I really need some feedback on on Issue #1 because I usually like to leave my cell phone in my bag so right now I have to take my phone out everytime I complete a call to turn it off.
Nobody knows anything??
Hi,
I am planning to get the Sony DS980 to pair with the Kaiser.
I understand that there are some issues with the volume on some BT headsets paired with the Kaiser. Is this an issue with the Sony DS980?
Secondly, someone on cingular or howard forums suggested that the volume improved when they changed their phone's band from Auto to GSM (under phone settings), suggesting that there might be some interference from the 3G stack. Anyone else noticed this?
thanks very much, MN
I picked up, just yesterday, a DS-970. Volume is fine, but I use phoneAlarm to control my profiles and it has an option to boost the volume.

I'm using DS-970 and volume is just fine without using any sound volume boosting software. I think it even louder than on my previous Hermes.
I use DS980 with my Kaiser (HTC TyTN II) with no problem whatsoever. It seems to pair better with Kaiser than Hermes.
It is able to read incoming call as well as call history from Kaiser without the need to install the Jetware HF extension (which is required for Hermes).
Voice dialing with the build in cyberon software also works great.
Regarding the volume, it is as loud as it is supposed to be. In fact, when set to max, it is too loud for me. I need to reduce the headset volume to make it comfortable.
All devices paired to this Headset will have their BT names shown on the LCD. Thus you can easily check how many devices have been paired with it. Moreover, you can easily switch the connection to the device of your choice. You don't have this feature in the DS970 model.
anyone able to make the DS980 phonebook feature work with Kaiser?
I bought one of these yesterday and sound quality is really good, it can control the HTC music plugin great but you do not get the the song/track name info on the display.
I installed the Jetware software to see what this added and the time from my Kaiser is now displayed on the DS980 display but still cannot access the phonebook
HA! I can't believe my eyes but after like 3 weeks having DS980s' i'we been trying to get the phonebook working with my elf having no succes. And now, i switch my Touch on after a trip through public transport and lol - theres a dialog window asking, if i want to allow access to my phonebook contacts, i press yes, pull out my handsfree and there's complete alfabetical list with all contacts in my phone. And i have no f*ckin idea, how the hell it did itself i tried like everything before and it starts working on it's own OMG anyway, i'm happy
