Dear All,
I have been for the past 3 weeks trying to know if it's possible to write an
application that would send/receive the phone audio conversation to a pc if
the device is places on the cradel?
What i want to do is to use my pc's mic and speaker as a headset. I was
thinking that this can be done, since a friend of mine has bluetooth on his
laptop, i paired my phone with his laptop via bluetooth, and one of the
services provided was Audio Gateway, and used his laptop's mic and speakers
as a bluetooth headset.
I wonder how this is implemented since i want to do something like that over
the Cradel connection. or any other media as a matter of fact
Your help is really appreciated

You've got the answer in your post. Simply get a bluetooth adapter that preferably has widcomm drivers (I know they work like this). Set it up as an audio gateway and pair with it, hopefully you should now be able to use it as a headset.
Is there any pc program to emulate the functions of a bluetooth headset like answer the call or reject it, display the caller number?
hi all thanks for your replies:
fruitloaf - i think u didnt get my question. I want to emulate that, i want to write an application on the PPC Phone that when i answer i can capture the audio convo (mic/speaker) and transfere it to the PC maybe via the pass through when the device is on the cradel.
jacusi1980 - i will write an application on the PC that will handel the answering, dialing, rejecting etc. Which also i would like to know how can i control the answering rejecting etc remotely.
Thanks
Hi all,
I've been trying to figure out a way of using my computers speakers/headset as the headset for my phone.
Basically I work in a shared office and tend to listen to music all day with a closed cup headset and find it quite annoying to take off my headset to receive a call.
I've managed to get my music played form my trinity via A2DP (bluesoleil's audio sink service) to my computers headset, but calls are still left on my device
Is it possible that my computer can act as a headset too? can this be done via USB cable rather then Bluetooth?
Any ideas/pointers would be great!

Looking at my computer bluetooth configuration (WinNT with Widcomm BT stack) I can see that in the list of local services supported by the BT stack there is also the "Headset" profile. Enabling that service and pairing your phone to make it use such service should be what you are looking for but honestly I have never tried myself.
PS: You have a different BT stack so first thing you should do is check if you have "headset" profile in the list of local services... if it is not there then I guess you are out of luck.

Yer, it doesn't look like i have one, might have to try a different bluetooth stack. Shame, bluesoleil looks like a nice simple solution
Thanks for your help
Hi All,
Here is an unusual one for you guys - you have really helped me out in the past; so here's hoping......
I currently work from home and would like to use my Bluetooth enabled Laptop as a handsfree kit for my Wizard. I suppose in a similar way to an aftermarket in car kit with caller display, contact navigation, dialling from the laptop etc, etc. I have all the stuff i.e. microphone, speakers, bluetooth on my laptop so I don't really want to buy an in-car kit to do the same job.
Is this possible, and how do I do it ??
I synchronise Outlook via Bluetooth, so I have no problem in connecting the two devices.
Just to clarify why I'm looking to do this - I have to place my Wizard in my study window in order to get a decent mobile signal. If I have it on my desk the signal disappears. I make all my business calls on my Wizard, and I am getting seriously fed up with getting up and down around 20 times daily to answer my phone!! Then if I need to refer to some info on my laptop, the signal vanishes when I get to the laptop 'cos I've moved away from the window..aaarrgghhh!!
Here's thanking you all in advance.
Possible Solution
As much as I know, and I understand, It is possible to use your laptop speaker and microphone to answer the calls on your Wizard. To do so,
1-Your laptop must be equiped with the WidComm Bluetooth Hardward and Drivers
2-Pair your Laptop with the Wizard.
3-Go to CommManager on Wizard then Setting > Bluetooth Select your laptop and in services check the handsfree.
4-Allow the full access to Wizard on your Laptop and connect to wizard.
5-You will see the handfree icon on Wizard.
Now on If any call comes you can hear the call on your Laptop speakers and Anwser via Laptop's Mic. But you have to stand up and go to Wizard to accept the call or dial a number. I not know if it is possible to answer from Laptop.
Thanks.
Thanks for the response Hacken.
I have also found this:
http://www.blueshareware.com/bluetooth_pc_dialer.asp
This enables a calls to be dialled and terminated from the PC via Bluetooth, but it doesn't work the other way around. I have been looking into this for a few days now and it would appear many people are also looking for a solution.
The market potential for a fully functioning Bluetooth/PC link must be vast as it could be a solution for disabled users in making phone calls, used in call centres, in car PC's etc, etc
Anyone familiar with an app/widget that will allow mt3g to announce the callerid/contact info for an incoming call via bluetooth?
not sure if it helps but I am using 32a with my car over bluetooth and i can see caller id on my car display. i do not use any extra software for that.
Sorry, I guess I should have been more clear. I want the caller id/contact info to be spoken over bluetooth, instead of being displayed. Like what SayMyName or TalkingCallerID do, except over bluetooth. Those apps say the callerid info but it comes out of the phone, not bluetooth.
I have tried to get Microsoft VoiceCommand to announce incoming calls through bluetooth but have had no success. I will be happy to pay anyone 100.00 who can come up with a solution. Will pay by paypal once confirmed working.
You can keep your money, but I can try to help. Did you already go into the Voice Command settings and select "announce notifications using bluetooth hands free only" or there is another option that says"announce notifications using bluetooth hands free if available"
BT headset sencitivity to Voice Command
I've found over the years that the reading incoming voicemail via Voice command can often depend on the BT headset you have. I went thru several different models until I found a family that seems to work very well. At the moment I have a TMOUS Hd2 and I'm using a Motorola 710 bt headset. It works just about every time.
Previously I had a HTC TYTN II with a Motorola 700 and then the 710 and these both worked with the purchased copy of Voice command 1.6 (don't recall the release but it was pretty current via upload)
Try going to a store that carries the 710 that offers a return policy, give it a try.
Tried these suggestions no luck
MirasHD2 I tried the settings for both announcing incoming calls and unchecked only during free time.
AndyClay I have a Motorola 710 headset no good. My problem is with incoming caller ID announce. I have tired a Jabra, Motorola 710 and Jawbone Prime all with no luck. Can get them to announce messages but no caller ID through bluetooth.
Thank you both for your suggestions.
You mean on BT "Call from 999-999-9999"? Yeah, if you find a answer let me know. Anything that initiates from the phone won't goto the headset. But anything I tell it from the headset will come back to the headset.
So incoming calls and appointment notifications won't work on my headset. But everything else seems to work.
I have the Blue Ant Q1 and it announces the incoming caller's phone number and handles voice commands very well. I just can't seem to get ringtones to play through the headset. NOTE: Blue Ant has a newer model coming called T1 that is supposed to announce calls by name. But I cannot confirm this.
The Q1 does it for me so far but I REALLY would like to have ringtones/ringerIDs to play through the headset.......
I have a motorola T505 in car speaker and it works great, plus I can also listen to slacker through my car sterio with this unit. New Egg sells them for about $60
It will announce appointments
Starstreak, I have got it to announce my appointments. This is what I did. Enable the settings in the VoiceCommand app to announce appointments and uncheck only during free time. Then go to settings, on the bottom of the device it will say menu, click on menu then all settings this opens several selection icons. select bluetooth go into settings which is the gears on the top left, choose advanced then audio, check box to play system sounds on remote handsfree device. I have my device set to announce appointments 15 minutes before the time. when this happens a tone alert starts, this opens the audio channel to my bluetooth headset, I hear a little of the tone then I hear the voice announcement telling me what the appointment is. Doing this will also send system sounds to the headset but I don't mind that too much.
It palys music
Jdwme, I can play music through the headset also. It is caller ID announce I can't get working. Does your Motorola announce the incoming callers name or number. None of the devices I have tried will announce caller ID at all only through the phone speaker no bluetooth.

If youre willing to try another headset
waiting for the new Blueant
I looked up the Blueant and I am waiting for the new model which will announce the name of the caller. I was hoping someone would know of or figure out a registry hack or mod to get this to work on a regular bluetooth headset. Thanks for the tip on the Blueant

No problem Polera. According to Blue Ant, the T1 is due out in May 2010 and should be $79-$99. I will probably get one too.
I thought I tried that one... I'll try that again.

It's not the HD2, It's a bug with MSVC when being used with WM versions past 6.1. I too have been looking for a fix for several days. I also had the Treo Pro where the Announce Incoming Caller worked with the same BT that I am using now.
I supposed now that MS is on to WM7, they could care less if they fix this or not.
That's why I posted here
MadLinx, That is why I posted the offer for someone here to maybe look into a registry hack or modification to get the caller Id over bluetooth working.. I have managed to get all the other voice functions operating.....still hoping someone here can help.
mine works just fine, i'm using a moto h710 and plantronics 975. go to bluetooth settings, advanced, audio, and make sure "play system sounds on remote hands-free device is checked. then go to voice command, make sure it's enabled. then highlight phone, hit options. check all the boxes, including announce incoming calls and select annouce notifications using bluetooth if available. if you guys need more help, just holler .
Ok checked the box to move all audio to headset. Well, now I seem to get mostly everything but stuff that the unit initiates(sp) itself. Like the incoming caller ID/name if it's my address book. But so far it works the best.
MS should just pay someone to FIX this program. Hell, if it worked like how it's supposed to, I'll pay$29.95 for an app like this.

thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't change anything on my end. the announce works, but it still announces through the phone loud speaker.
Yesterday, I upgraded from a Dash (non-3G) to the HD2. On my Dash, I had performed the registry hack to enable the voice command messaging/caller ID announcements over the handsfree bluetooth, and had no problems. Now using the same Plantronics Voyager Pro headset with the HD2, I am receiving calendar and messaging notifications, but I too am not getting the caller ID announcements on the headset. The incoming call information that should be heard on the headset is played through the handset speaker which should be muted. However, I have no problem placing calls using the headset with voice command. So, if a problem exists with the bluetooth stack, I am not sure why it would work sometimes and other times not. I too have verified all of the settings mentioned in this thread to remedy the situation with no success. I have factory reset the HD2 and reconfigured everything, again without success. I am not sure where to go next.
http://pocketnow.com/how-to/how-to-disable-htc-messaging-on-the-hd2
Can someone try this? He claims "One of the great things about HTC Sense on the HTC HD2 is that it's such a heavy redesign of Windows Mobile. Unfortunately, this can cause problems with some other applications. For me, HTC's text messaging application replacement disabled Microsoft Voice Command's ability to read my incoming text messages to me over a Bluetooth headset."
So I'm wondering if doing what he claims will allow the caller ID to be sent to BT? I would try this, but can't at the moment.
