Is it possible to have the HD2 automatically pickup incoming calls when connected to BT? (either car or headset).
Any help appreciated
Don't know if it's possible to have WM6.5 phones auto pick up incoming calls.
Anyway I found an empty branch HKCU\ControlPanel\AutoPickUp in the registry.
Go to the Settings tab, Menu, All Settings, Personal, Phone and scroll to the "More" tab.
There's a setting in there for automatically answering when a headset it connected.
I don't know if this works with a BT headset, but I think it does.
Hope it helps
Edit:
After a bit of googling, it looks like this doesn't work, but I don't have a BT headset with me to try it. Give it a go anyway.
Another edit:
It looks like this piece of software will allow you to do what you want (amongst MANY other things!)

Ah! The setting was well hidden. Thanks! gonna give it a try
edit: tested and works okay

The idia is to use bluetooth headset (in my case HBH-600) with SE T630 and my Compact.
T630 pairs with headset only during incoming or outgoing call, in stand-by mode my headset is absolutly free to connect to my Compact.
And since my Compact connected to handsfree it's not letting it go. Even when my device is turned off headset remains connected to it. On the one hand it's good, but in order to make headset work with two devices I should get rid of that feature.
I've seen a thread where people (with feature mentioned above) said that our devices don't think that answering a call is "using" the device and turn off. So other party of conversation couldn't hear anything.
Do you have any ideas how to break bluetooth connection with headset after call?
Thanks in advance.
Perhaps Pocket Bluetooth Tools will help you, it can auto-off the BT on the device after the call is complete and re-enable it when a call comes in.
Be aware, however, that some people find it can cause more problems than it solves - I however love it on my Xda II.
Thanks for tip.
I've tried that a long time ago, but found it of no use for me at that moment.
I remember that there is "settings" for it, but now I can't find it.
And another question. On that site it is said that program supports bluetooth handsfree and headset profile, and what about voice dialing?
you also can use Pocket Zen Phone.. schedule your profile to set the bluetooth off at certain time.
Hey you guys…
I’ve got a question…
Is there an app whcich will toggle Bluetooth on when you enter the telephone function of the wizard?(ei. Press the green button) and that toggles Bluetooth on when there is an incoming call?
Then again turns blutooth off when you end the call and telephone app. :?:
Tomtom also toggles Bluetooth on when you launch the app, and it would be nice that you don’t have to manually toggle Bluetooth on when you get an ioncomming call in your car, or when you want to make a call in your car.
This way you can save battery life, because Bluetooth isn’t permanently on, and it turns on when you need it…
Is there such an app, or is this impossible….
Anybody? :?:
Maybe phonealarm can do it. It can definatly switch different profiles like home, car etc. and within the profile you can launch programs, turn on/off bluetooth/hifi
http://www.pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.htm
[edit] I should add that WM5 support is still in beta at the moment [/edit]
Okay, but I don't think that you cange a profile when you enter a car, because I just put the phone on a charger, and use a Jabra headset, so no professional carkit.
It would be nice if there's an app that switches bluetooth dependent on another app, not on a profile...
But I'll look into phonealarm...
Thanks, anybody else got an idea?

One reason I didn't keep phone alarm is because it didn't quite do what I was looking for. It was closer than everything else I've found, but seemed to slow my whole experience with my phone down.
Maybe someone like vijay555 might make something that'll do that.
I have got into the habbit of useing my BT headset when getting into the car and turning it off when I get out. I plug my phone into the car to keep it topped up, so using extra power isn't a problem.
If I have a bluetooth device connected to my XV-6800, is there a setting or something I can do that will allow me to answer the phone with the call button on the phone, but have it connect to the bluetooth device? Right now if I hit the call button, it only goes through the phones speaker as if the bluetooth device was not connected. For me to answer a call using the bluetooth device, I have to hit the button on the bluetooth device.
Thanks,
Jeff
That's really strange. I know that I don't have the same phone as you (I have touch Elf). I have noticed this. When I have my device connected to bluetooth headset or my handsfree car kit, I can still hit the green call button to anser the phone when I get a call and the call is still transmitted to my bluetooth. I can even still make a call by hitting the green call button, dialing the number and still all through bluetooth.
It sounds like your device is not associating properly with the bluetooth device. Go into your bluetooth settings and check to make sure that you are connected properly for hands free - Go to settings - bluetooth and click on your device to make sure that hands free is checked.
I have also noticed that on a rare occasion, my bluetooth does not connect properly and although paired, does not transmit and sound did come through phone when it shouldn't have. To fix this, I did a soft reset and all was good. It happened to me about three times since I bought the phone in Dec 2007.

The bluetooth is properly connected. When I make a call and hit the green call button, it does go through the bluetooth device. It is only when answering a call it does not go through the bluetooth device when I hit the green call button. Yes, very strange. Oh well, I was hoping somebody might have some insight.

What radio and Windows ROM are you using? I know that some of the different ones fixed some BT issues. When my headset is connected it always goes to my headset no matter what I push. Sometimes I have it in my pocket and forget and then can't hear anything on the phone. I believe you can force it to go to your headset after answering the call though.

I am currently using DCD 3.2.6 with radio 3.37.75. To be honest I am not sure I have tried it with this combination. But, I have had the problem with a DCD rom, I just don't remember which radio.
My phone has always bypassed the bluetooth earpiece if I press the answer button on the phone and not the button on the earpiece. It did it from day one with the stock verizon rom and it still does it with my custom dcd rom.
I like the option of bypassing the earpiece to answer a call, especially in a crowd. Also I have the incoming calls announced thru the earpiece. This allows me to know who is calling without even looking at the phone or touching it to answer it thru the earpiece.
This is my insight on this. I hope this helps.
Are you using Voice Command? Is the sound very low?

Mine operates the same way. I don't beleive this is a "flaw", and may vary by type of bluetooth device being used. OP is looking for a way to override this setting / feature if anyone knows. Personally, I like the option of taking it on the phone for privacy reasons as my BT device is through the car speakers.

I agree, I don't necessarily think it is a flaw. I would prefer to have mine answer with the bluetooth if I hit the green call button. I was just wondering if there is a setting some where that I am overlooking to have it the way I would prefer.
I just tried it again with the DCD 3.2.6 and 3.37.75 radio. As has been mentioned above, it does not appear to be related to a rom or radio, it is a feature of the phone.
A friend of mine has an iphone, and when they get a phone with a bluetooth earpiece enabled, they get options on the screen which say answer, answer on phone, or ignore. Or something along those lines. I like having those options, but understand if it is not available on the 6800.
Thanks for all of the replies.

Hi all
does anyone know if there is a app that while in bluetooth sync mode with a bluetooth handsfree device could launch a switch when a incomming call comes in to give the option to select the call by bluetooth or phone or phones speakerphone? i saw this option on a iphone. if this app is not available could some maybe create one? this would be a great function for windows mobile device. i do know that there is a option after you answer the call to turn off the bluetooth but its in the menu option and not as accessable...
thanks for you help..
J
It should work simply like this on WM phones (at least on all the WM phones I have). When a call comes in:
1. If you press talk button on your Bluetooth handsfree, the call should get picked up through the handsfree.
2. If you answer the call on the phone by pressing either software or hardware button, the call is picked up on the phone.
Thank you for your reply i just have another question
will that be the same for if the phone was synced to a car bluetooth kit as well? i just want to know if so as maybe the rom i have has problems doing this...
I tried to do what is posted and it did not work for the car i answered from the hardware keys as well as the software keys and still picked up in the car. i jave to click menu then turn off hands free. is there some other option i need to select in some settings to change the way the hands free works? I will try with a blue tooth ear piece to see if there is a difference..
In looking more into this there are 2 profiles 1 is headset and the other is handsfree i believe ear pieces use the headset profile and car kits use handsfree profile i did check the earpiece and it worked as described above does anyone know how to change the handset profile? is this a reg setting or can someone tell me how these profiles are stored in winmo 6.5?
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.
