Hi everyone,
I have had a parrot ck3000 for about a year now, and its driving me nuts. I would be interested to hear other peoples experience.
First I will describe my general issues (I have tested all these on a Nokia, and there is no prob):
1: When I answer a phone call I have to use the buttons on the kit (not on the phone), otherwise I wont be able to hear the other person...
2: Sometimes when I do use the buttons on the kit, the person at the other end still wont be able to hear me...
3: The volume levels are rubbish, the other person can only just hear me when im shouting and they are very faint at my end.
Second I will describe my issues with voice command:
1: When I press the green button to initiate voice command, sometimes it starts VC and then disconnects the bluetooth link to my phone.
2: Accuracy is rubbish (im guessing this is to do with the crap mic quality mentioned above).
Anyone else had similar experiences, or fixed/ fudged some of these problems perhaps?

yep, go on to parrots website and get thge updated software/fermware for your parrot, you'll need a laptop with bluetooth to do it, and all should be well, it wason my 3100 (old) and 3200 (new)
With WM devices you have to push kit button to answer the call, otherwise you have to speak to phone.
not with my kaiser and parrot kit, i can push either when paired with the parrot andthe sound comes through the kit

Hi,
I have the TyTn and when I connect it via Bluetooth to my Nokia CK7W carkit callers complain that my voice breaks up and they only hear every 2nd word or so. I also get the same complaints when using the handsfree inbuilt speakerphone, and that my voice fades in and out.
Yet when I talk normally with the phone to my ear the problem isn't there.
I've tried raising my voice and speaking closer to the mic in both cases but this doesn't work.
Any suggestions?
Tnx
Ari
Might be similair to the issues other users and I are having.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately it's not related to the other forums. My phone keeps the bluetooth connection and both incoming and outgoing voices can be heard.
I've heard it for myself and it sounds like i'm in a bad reception area. What's really puzzling is that it also happens when I speak on the phone with the speakerphone activated, yet when I place the phone right to my mouth then the problem goes away, so i'm thinking it's something to do with the mic switching off to cancel any echo?

Voice Command 1.6 seems to be a bit of a nightmare and i have given up on my hermes for now.
My trinity though is almost ok, the only thing that doesnt work is when i push the voice button on the headset the sound comes out the phone speaker.
If i use the button on the phone though the sound comes out the headset.
How can i change the action of the button on the bluetooth headset to do what the button on the device is doing.
Thanks all.
Rob.

FYI I use a SonyEricsson stereo BT headset and I don't experience this problem.
Rjefferis, I experience the same problem as you.
I have a Jabra JX10 headset.
Confirmation voice always comes out of phone speaker, not headphone... and irritatingly, it takes microphone readings from the phone body too. Kind of defeating the idea of hands free voice dialling.

Yeah this seems to be the problem on the hermes too. On mine it works correctly if i use the voice dial button on the phone. So the button on the headset and the button on the phone must be calling slightly different functions. All i need to know is what reg key i have to edit to make the headset button do the same as the phone one.
Try yours to see whether it works using the phone button. I think maybe my a2dp is getting involved somewhere as well.
There is an option about Notifications and Bluetooth devices in the Voice command settings... does this solve you problem?
Not for me.
It is set to read only through handsfree. I havent got my headset here, so I will see what happens if I switch it to the opposite like rjefferis implied.
yeah i doesnt make a difference using the options in voice command.
I think maybe when i push the button on the phone it works through the a2dp to the headset which obviously it shouldnt be.
When i use a non stereo headset then i think it always comes out the phone no matter what.
There are a number of threads regarding this issue and some semi-working fixes to get initiating a voice call through a mono bluetooth headset.
The problem seems to be a difference in the trinity passing audio through the audio gateway using a mono bluetooth headset. Not sure if this is a problem with the implentation of Microsoft's bluetooth stack on the TyTn/Trinity but I'm assuming that's the case.
According to Microsoft's Voice Command site, they indicate that the TyTn (put the Trinity in the same situation) passes audio through the device speaker. They also make note that devices running Windows Mobile build prior to 15097.3.0.0 will pass announcements through the device speaker. This leads me to believe that Microsoft fixed audio to a mono bluetooth headset but I've seen lot's of messages from people running roms higher than this version who still have the problem so sounds like HTC hasn't implemented it.
I've sent emails to HTC who indicate that it's a 3rd party program and there is no guarentee they will fix it as it's a Microsoft problem. I haven't been able to get word from Microsoft if it is being fixed but from their website, seems both parties are passing the buck on this one.
Considering HTC's lack of commitment in releasing updates for their branded products and the delay, we probably won't see another rom after their first release for a while if any since they seem more committed to releasing new products increase their bottom line without keeping their current customers happy. So if it's not in their upcoming rom update and Microsoft isn't releasing a fix, we could be waiting a while. I'd recommend anyone who cares about this issue to send an email to HTC Support. You'll get the generic response but hopefully if enough people complain about it, a fix might fall into their update
HI all,
I got a t-mobile Vario II and have a plantronics 655 handsfree. I have searched the forum but found nothing that answers my problem.
I want to be able to answer a call from the phone and when the handsfree is paired the sound to come through the handsfree. I have tried a few handsfree kits but none seem to work and all the calls come through the phone until i pull the handsfree out of my ear hit answer n put it back in. Am i missing something? I want to be able to answer a call from the phone and talk through my handsfree. When i make a phone call however from the phone it works fine and the sound comes through the handsfree like it should.
I read something about a handsfree profile...where is that? i don't have a handsfree profile option on my phone. Is it an add-on. I tried the handsfree with my ericsson phone and when u answer from the phone it asks if i want the audio through the handset or the handsfree..
hellpppppp...its driving me madd lol
I Take it no one knows the answer to this or has created a patch? Does everyone answer there phone from the answer button on the bluetooth handsfree then? ??
What you are trying to do, is contrary to the feature designed into your dialer. When you answer the phone call from the phone instead of the connected headset, you obviously wanted to talk via the phone not the headset so that is where it routes the call. You can get it back to the headset after you answered on your phone by selecting the menu option and selecting "Turn Handsfree On".
similar issue
I have an ATT branded 8525, and a Motorola H550.
I'm using the built in voice dialer, as I really don't feel like shelling out any more money for voice commander, when I'm paying for the spb products I have (pocketplus, mobile shell, and phone suite).
With other phones, I could use the phone (by hand) to dial a number, while wearing the BT headset, and it would automatically put the conversation on the phone.
This doesn't.
Also, when I receive a call, I don't get the ringtones I have selected for specific callers, just a generic beep.

That issue is actually unrelated. The issue that arnie_ahu has is trying to do something differently than the phone design. However, your issue is a real issue. Dialing on the phone and pressing call should send the call to the headset if it is connected properly. The ony conclusion I can think of is that it is not connected properly as a headset.
In my experience, this is Bluetooth device specific. When I use my Jawbone, I can answer on the phone and the conversation will be on the Jawbone. However, if I use a Plantronics 320 and answer on the phone, the conversation will be on the phone.
The reason why I answer using the phone instead of using the Bluetooth headset is out of courtesy to the caller. For some reason, when I answer with a Bluetooth device, the caller hears a very loud sound that is reminiscent of a fog horn. I have experienced this with multiple phones and headsets. I am guessing this is related to the Bluetooth handshake.
edited: spelling correction.
It may be (for me) because I am using mp3 ringtones on a mono earpiece.
From what I have found on line, that won't work with WM5, which sucks, because it worked on my old piece of crap nokia 6230.
Why oh why must this be so hard?
Now I have to try and convert the mp3 ringtones I made from full songs to something the phone will use.
I've got a Nokia bluetooth car kit (CK-7W) and while this worked perfectly with my N95 (obviously) and works for incoming calls on the HD2 there's one problem with using it for outgoing calls.
To make a call with the Nokia you hold down the button on the car kit for a second and then this triggered voice dialling. However, holding down the button while connected to the HD2 mutes the stereo and then just seems like it's trying to do something then goes back to stereo again. Now I'm presuming that as the HD2 doesn't come with voice dialling (why oh why?) there's no button for the hands free kit button to map to.
I've installed Cyberon but as this still doesn't work off a button press it also doesn't work.
What I'm wondering is, is there any way to map Cyberon (or whatever other voice dialer you use) to a button and then get that button to be picked up by the Nokia car kit?
Not hopeful but as being able to make calls hands free is generally the point of a hands free kit, any help would be appreciated.
Any solution?

Did you find any solution to this issue? I facing the same.
I am in the same boat, anyone help please? All I want it to do is play and receive audio through the car kit
thanks

I have the same kit and have found the following:
1. If you receive an incoming call and press the Nokia Car Kit button it answers the phone and the call comes through the kit speakers.
2. If you answer an incoming call with the phone handset rather than the car kit button the phone answers but the sound comes from the phone rather than the car speakers.
3. If you try to initaite a call be pressing the car kit button the HD2 doesn't understand whats going on and sits there waiting for a timeout.
4. If you initiate a call through the phone (in a cradle to maintain hands-free laws) then the phone dials and then switches on the car kit so that the call comes through the car speakers.
I had to do this with my Orbit II since I never got round to using voice tags for pressing the Nokia button.

I was always under the impression that the Nokia CK-7W does not support A2DP.
This feature only really came out in the later models such as Ck-20, ck-100 etc.
Do bear in mind that ck-7w is approximately 5-6 years old. I am not even sure waht bluetooth revision and call handling firmware is running in the hf-5 module box.
I do know that people started to have problems with ck-7w with the newer series of phones so most of them upgraded their kits.
If you do look for an upgrade option, you may wish to check out parrot ck 3100.
A lot of our customers have used these with no problem, and those that did have a minor problem went to parrot support and bluetoothed the newer firmware to the kit to resolve it.
I do not work for Parrot in anyway. These are just my personal findings organising car kit installations for various corporate customers.
I have a CK-7W and it works fine with MS Voice Command
HTH
I've got an HTC HD2 from my Company. Now i wanted to connect it to my Nokia CK-7W installed in my car. The problem is, that the phone does not find the Carkit!
Does anybody know a solution?
Thanks!
Hi Folk
Ive had a quick search and not found anyone with the same issue.... might be cos the phone is new out.
I have a parrot bluetooth hands-free kit in the car and since changing from the iphone to the DHD i cannot use the call pickup button to call out like i would nomally do in the iphone.
Is there something i need to do or is this function not availble on this phone? Im new to the android software so ive probably missed the obvious.
Thanks in advance
Muzzy
A also have a parrot BT kit ( Mki-9000) but I don't have such issue. I can play music via a2dp, and also I can make calls and everything works fine.
The only issue I have is when i want to answer an incoming call - if I answer through the phone ( by pressing the green button) the sound is not forwarded to the BT kit. I don't have such issues with my Nokia.
I can't test right now what will happen if I answer through the BT kit because my Steering Wheel remote control is out of power.
To resolve your problem try to search the parrot website's forum also check for the latest firmware updates for your device. In the past I have similar issue with HTC3300 but after firmware update it was fixed.
The issue I have (mki9200) is that A2DP seems to be on permantly, so when listening to my ipod through the parrot, if I have satnav on, then the directions come through the parrot kit. If a new email or txt comes in, the notification comes through the parrot. With my old Omnia, I could deactivate the Headset profile (A2DP) and keep the Hands Free profile when I was connected to my parrot.
Can this be done on the DHD.
(ignore my footer - can't seem to change this at the moment)

Check out ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834983&page=3 .... my post #22. Should answer your *problem*. I had the same thing when switching from Nokia to HTC .... But if you check a couple of posts later I've also found that I can use the phone to initiate a call and the sound *does* go to the Bt device ....
