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...
the nokia headset button

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.

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.

Hi, all.
Hope someone can assist me. I'm using an XDA II that has been upgraded to 2.06 Windows Mobile 2003 SE.
I have enabled the Bluetooth Headset profile on my Today screen and calls will transfer over to my headset (SonyEricsson HBH-65).
My question is for the following scenarios:
1) The calls transfer over but sometimes the connection becomes lost while I'm still mid-way in the call. How do I instruct the XDA to transfer the call to my Headset again? Tried pressing the button on my HBH-65 but the call doesn't transfer.
2) Sometimes, I put on my headset but forgot to turn it on. When a call comes in, I realise my mistake and answer the call on my phone first but then I ask the other party to wait while I turn on my HBH-65. After turning it on, how do I transfer the existing call to my headset?
Hope someone can help with some advice. Thanks in advance
1) I currently use BlueTrek G2 and so far has got no probs at all.
2) The BT headset has to be running before the phone in call. For the BT signal it has to be sent right b4 the phone in call.
I guess that's how you can get ur headset running.
I've got that to my best. Good luck...
No problem with them...
i am using BHB-65 too, they are great ,man, i have no problem with them from the first time using.
1. When you want to connect to the headset, there's an icon near the phone icon, you touch on that , it will indicate the term to transfer the call back the headset or cut it out.
2. When you forgot turning on the BT headset, just turn it on and press "enabled the headset" (on the desktop, remember to "view the profile" in item "Today"), it will automatically transfer the call to the BT headset.
Wish you could do that.

Hi
I am using Nokia BH-101 with my GENE as BT Handsfree.
I know that nokia Bh-101 is not an A2DP device, but is it possible to listen songs via bluetooth?
Also, I am facing wierd problems: I am able to talk thru bluetooth headset, but after sometime the pairing seems to have some problem and it gets disconnected. Also, my GENE becomes dumb and deaf.. coz I cannt hear any sound on external or internal speaker until I turn off Bluetooth and turn it back on from communications manager.
Can anyone suggest what could be the issue with this BT?? any updates required or some registry setting!
Thanks
Prady
Using the advanced settings tool, disable Bluetooth Audio Gateway Power Save.
Thanks for your reply....... where can i find the advanced settings??? is it possible to do from registry?
Thanks
