Receiving a call when unit is cradled

Both my colleague and I use XDA2s and we work in the same office. Today, both of us have had incoming calls, while the unit is in its cradle. I took mine out of the cradle, checked who was calling and hit the green button. The call was answered (according to the display) but I could hear nothing. My colleague had exactly the same happen to him, from a different caller. Has anyone else had this, or is there a technique to answering a call when the XDA is in its cradle?

Hello,
I have had no problem answering calls from within the cradle -
I did exactly as you said - picked up the device from the cradle, but I pressed the "answer" button on the screen, all works fine for me.
Cheers

I have answered lots of times the same way with no problems, I've even put the unit on speakerphone... Very handy when cradled...

Did you use a headset before?
The following happend for me once:
I use the headset for listening music. Phone is ringing. I unplug the headset, because I have a poor quality Hama one, and in a loudy bus, the internal speaker of the PDA is better.
But I hear nothing. The only way to take a phone call, with the headset.
I think the PDA's headset connector switch was wrong. After I plug and unplug the headset many times, my wallaby worked. (The PDA felt the headset plugged, so switch off the speaker but the headset wasn't pluged. Soft reset did not help)
This is my story

There is a setting, to automatically switch on speakerphone when PDA in the cardle?

Thanks!
Thanks, everyone, for the feedback. Neither of us had used headphones, but we both have BT headsets, which we had used that morning - one's a Jabra BT200 and the other is a Bluetrek G2. I don't know whether that is relevant or not.
If anyone out there uses a BT headset and can tell me how they select a number from contacts and ring it so that the headset works - I'd like to know! Mine only seems to work if initiate the call from the headset.

(off topic, sorry) is there any way of getting the phone to answer calls/dial calls in hands free mode? or creating a profile that does so (ie when i am in car and xda is in a (non handsfree) cradle.

I do not know if this feature is availble. I did a little search on my imate but did not find such a feature! but will be nice to have it!
The only option available is to asnwer received calls after certain rings!

it would be worth cheching how old the rom version is on your xda2 as there is an issue with the very early versions of the rom (1.03.00) for example. In this version nither the cell line or the gprs cant be connected while the XDA2 is in its cradle. current version should be 1.60.00.
hope this helps

Phone autoresponse and bt headset

Hi,
I need to automatically pickup on calls. However this doesn't work if a bluetooth headset is attached: I have to use the headset button.
Moreover, if I answer tapping on screen, bt headset deactivates!

If I`m not wrong U have this option in Start/Settings/Phone...and then click on More there U have to check the box saying:
Answer incoming call withouth pressing
And then U have to chose how many times do U want your device to ring before answering...
Hope it will help!
Regards,
Primoz
P.s. If I`m not wrong...U have to chose a short ringtone for this...!

I have already done this, but the phone doesn't answer itself. I choose classic.wav ringtone....

Update
I found autoanswer is not working at all :-(
Anybody issued this problem?

unfortunately, I have the same problem.

The auto answer function was only ever designed for the standard wired headset. It won't work for bluetooth headsets or speakerphone.

may be is some additional software to fix the problem with autoanswering? It is very big problem for me! because I use BT headset when I'm skiing with helmet on my head.

Yeah, the same with me. I used to use my NOKIA 6230 + jabra250. Jabra suites nicely under my Arai hemlet and I can ride my motorcycle and answer phone calls.
Any ideas what should be done?

Your Bluetooth Headset?

Ok guys and Gals, I need a Bluetooth Headset, as my Cellink doesn't seem to work.
Any recommendations or a list of BT headsets that are being used by you all
TIA

tt 5 seams run ok even with o2 active installed hasnt crashed yet

I have a bluespoon AX which is very, very small, and makes me look less of a tit than using other large headsets or the Universal itself.

Thanks for the replies, I've also sent an email to cellink regarding this issue. If I get a reply I'll post it here.

Ok finally after a bit of a wait I have a reply from Cellink. they say it should be able to work, and since my last attempt I have got it to be recognised.
Unfortunately when the xda rings I can only hear very faint sounds coming from the headset, I've tried the volume controls on the headset and on the xda.
Maybe I'm missing something! anyone care to comment?

I've got a Motorola HS-850 and it works really well. I especially like being able to just close the fold-in mic boom and it switching the headset off completely. Can last well over a week without needing to be charged.
Cheers,
Smiff.

I have a Jabra BT800, so i can see number of incoming callers without open my JASJAR.
Have Fun

Hi all does anyone know if the xda exec supports Audio Gateway Profiles?

Are you saying that you can read the number displayed whilst the BT800 is on your ear? I tried holding a watch up in that position but couldn't read the dial at all - so went for the new thin Jabra BT500. Perhaps its just my tired old eyes.

I'd like to see a picture of that lol :shock: my eyes are aching just thinking about it

That's just what I thought. I couldn't see the point of having a display on the headset if I could only read the display before putting on the headset. Takes much longer to put on the headset, than it does to open the phone or lift the phone to your ear. And what would be the point of the display whilst you're driving?
There's another model, Sony or Motorola (?), that has a display on the outside of the headset - Just so that you can tell everyone around you who has phoned you. Duh! Seems even more pointless to me.

Will be the best... i suppose....

I use my old SE HBH 200 handsfree and so far everything is well. I use it cos the LCD display is not near my ear so I can see it very fast. http://www.infosyncworld.com/reviews/n/5488.html

oki doki, but to what extent functionality of BT 800 is for real ?
1. does it give you just the number, no matter, whether the contact IS IN the contact book already ? or it gives you the name instead of number ? assuming it is for already stored contact ...
2. what is the roughly distance between Exec and BT800 allowing for smooth operation and without strange noises ?
I am looking for good and fully functional BT headset for my Exec but as far as I am concerned there is a problem on BT800 with a/m functionalities
regards

I have a Sony Ericson HBH 662, and it works fine.

does anybody knows a BT headset that use the same mini USB of Universal for charging?

x7500 phone experience...

Mine should be arriving tomorrow
What are you guys using for phone calls: the included wired earbud, bluetooth headset or just the speakerphone?
Do most bluetooth headsets out there work with the included bluetooth stack?
Thanks!

Bluetooth all the way!
I am using the Plantronics Voyager 510 headset works the best for me great battery life, volume etc.

Bluetooth 99% of the time, rarely use the speakerphone. (Which does, however, work well.)
I use the BlueAnt V12, which has a vibrate feature... which is userful since the phone doesn't have one built-in. It also has an LCD, which I find useful. Displays status, phone numbers, but no names. But I seem to know most numbers, and if I don't that's also informative.
BlueAnt V12 has also a great price, around $50.

Jawbone Bluetooth works great.

I have no problems with the Jabra BT800, which also has vibrate, lcd and 6 individual ringtone settings plus the one from the Ameo. Works flawlessly.

Excellent!
So if my BT headset goes dead, the x7500 will continue fine as a phone? Will the speakerphone be automatically activated whenever I initiate/receive a call?

If there is no headset connected wired/bluetooth speakerphone is automatically activated for a call.

But not if you use Microsoft Voice Command 1.6. That kills the Jawbone d.e.a.d.
Aliph have confirmed it's a MVC problem.

Yes. It takes about 5 seconds for the X7500 to realise there's no active BT connection and reroute to the speakers.

Jabra BT8010. Works perfectly. Works even better if you upgrade the Jabra to 1.33 and follow the instructions elsewhere on the forum to get caller ID

I have some problem with BT8010. The phone function is perfect, but i have problem with stereo function. The playback is clogging and the memories getting fall with wm player. Have you got any reason? I tried it with TCPMP, it's same problem, but memories dont fall.

Thanks for the warning. I am just about to try 1.6 on my Jawbone.

Found this comment here - http://www.wmexperts.com/reviews/bluetooth_headsets/review_aliph_jawbone_bluetooth.html
Try creating the registry key:
HKLM\software\microsoft\voice command\speech\BluetoothPTTDelay
value = dword: 2000
Stop and start Voice Command.
I have found that this makes Voice Command 1.6 work great with the Jawbone even in the noisiest enviornments. This will open up the audio channel for 2 seconds before starting a voice command interaction as opposed to the 400ms that is the default. I think possibly the Jawbone is adapting to the ambient noise during this time. This seems to make a big difference though.
Let me know if this helps as my Jawbone will be arriving shortly.

Anyone used a stereo headset and liked it? I wouldn't mind having one that would go one ear for calls and a simple way to use both for listening to music/movies.

Why do you need to go through all athat gymnastics? I just installed voice command and it worked with Jawbone without any issues. I can't complain about battery life because I use my jawbone and Athena as regular phone, even in my open office. Maybe total 2 hours +- 30 minutes. Don't need 6 hours talk time yet I have never run out of battery yet. I charge both devices every night.
