Bluetooth question - Touch HD General

Hi all,
Was wondering if there is a quick way to disable bluetooth or get the phone to not use the bluetooth connection when dialing out. I don't want to disable and then have to re-enable after the call. I want it to work similar to when you get an incoming call and use the answer key on the phone to answer it and the call stays with the unit and not routed to bluetooth ear piece but when you hang up, the bluetooth is still available for the next call. Hope that made sense.
Thanks,
Ho'okani

Hi Ho'okani,
Please try out this software as a (temporary) solution:
http://home.casema.nl/rgschmidt/WM/Downloads/BT Restart_V_1_1_0_PPC.ARMV4.CAB
This will automatically restart the bluetooth connection after ending a phonecall.

imate SP3i Bluetooth Headset phone call Initiation

Im a little late getting one of these phones...pretty nice so far, I think....
I am wondering... when my phone keys are locked, I cannot initiate a phone call with my bluetooth headset [nextlink Digital/AX/5G/Chameleon]... without first unlocking the keys...
Anyone know a way around this, perhaps a REG hack?
I always lock my keys when I put the phone in my pocket, so it defeats the purpose of a 'handsfree headset' if I have to reach in to unlock the phone first...
in fact, you can NOT initiate a call via BT, just redial, AFAIK there is not Voice dial trough BT, so which is your point?
Can you explain a bit more?
:wink:

...I Initiate calls via Bluetooth all the time... Just a simple twitch of my nose...or a tap on my Bluespoon, then say the name...and like magic..... It dial the number......
...I do have to have the handset keys unlocked, however, for this to work.... I wish to find a way to hack the registry to allow headset initiated phone calls WITH the keys locked....

I have the exact same issue - I can make voice call using the voice enabled BT in my car but as soon as the phone locks (it auto locks after 20 minutes as I have Goodlink loaded) - I am unable to make any more calls. I can still recive calls via BT an use redial but that's about it with the phone locked.
Please let me know if you find a solution.

Bluetooth Handsfree and call waiting

Hello folks, I'm happy to have found this wonderful forum.
My question is, I have had my MDA for 2-3 weeks now, just received my bluetooth hands free device (Plantronics Discovery 640) my problem is for some odd reason, I can't answer *call waiting* calls with the Discovery 640. For some odd reason I keep sending people to voicemail when I click the button on the hand free, the only way for me to accept a call waiting calls, is buy press the talk button on the phone it self.
Is there something I need to enable in order to make the phone and handsfree work as one, so I can use the button on the handfree to answer the call waiting calls? is so any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Answer without using bluetooth device

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.

Activate Bluetooth on Call?

Besides PocketZenPhone and G-Profile, is there a simple standalone program or feature that will turn on bluetooth when a call comes in and disable it when the call ends?
Thanks.
I hope so, that would be awesome, I always forget to turn bluetooth on when i get in the car.

I think it's an issue with Android itself, but I could be wrong.
I was wondering about this myself as I just got the phone several days ago.
