I know the app that comes with it is only for the iPhone, but on its own, it supposed to announce caller ID in the headset. Does that work on the HD2?
It only reads off the phone number of the incoming call not the name from your phone book. As I understand it the IPhone is the same way.

Is there such a thing? I use the Fonix voice product, but it only works via the speaker or wired headset. Sure, it will transfer the call to the BT headset once it dials, but having to pick up the device and open the cover kind of makes voice dialing pointless.
On a similar note, a Bluetooth-aware caller ID application would sure be useful. Having it speak the name/number in the BT headset would mean hand-off answering based on caller. Or maybe even just speak it over the speaker on the device.

I've been wishing for those exact same things ever since the first Pocket PC Phone came out. Hopefully someday!!
In the meantime, feel free to send such feature requests to Microsoft repeatedly...

Hi Guys,
I have an I-mate JasJar and a Sonyericsson hbh-662. Both of them get along better than chandler and joey, except for the caller ID function. When a call comes in, immediately the number of the person calling is displayed but not the name. Even if the person calling is a saved contact, it still shows only the number.
Do you guys have any other workaround?
Other than that, i can voice dial using BT headset without even touching my phone, call clarity is superb and range is very good. Overall, a great headset. Would recommend it in a heartbeat.

I have a JasJar with a HBH 660 and it works the same: caller id number but not the name, nither if is on the SIM card.
I was thinking it would work with 662 which is bluetooth 1.2 complaint.
Are we missing some settings?Guido
I have read in a forum on Exapansys that on a Imate Jam it shows the name if you have MS VOice COmmand 1.5 installed.
Have you try it?
That reminds me, does the HBH-662 have the "noise cancellation" feature? Its known as DSP. does the 662 support it?
UD.
Hmmm, are you sure about that? Can you give me a link to that page? I highly doubt if that is possible, but if you say so, i wouldnt mind looking into it.
UD.
I have both a BT800 and an HBH660, both of which have a disply and both of which only display the number when used with the JasJar.
Both display the contact name when connected to me SE P910i.
I have the same problem with my C550 too. It seems that the MS bluetooth stack doesn't send the caller Id data when in hands free mode.

here is the link.

Let me know if with ms voice command the caller name appear.
I am very interested too.
For some odd reason, i could not get it to install on my JASJAR, activesync issues i suppose.
Can one of you install it on the JASJAR and give us feedback?
UD.
I have VoiceCommand v1.5 installed and neither my BT800 nor my HBH-660 display the caller name.
That sucks!!!
Which headset do you prefer between the both rilot and why?
UD.
I like both of them for differnet reasons. I use the both all the time. The BT800 on my JasJar and the HBH-660 on my C550.
The HBH-660 is small, light and stylish. More comfortable too, but the battery life is poor compared with the BT800. It also seems to drop calls more frequently. If only the JasJar and C550 could send the caller ID data they would be perfect. Not the fault of the headsets though.
All in all, I prefer the BT800 but both headsets are excellent.
Thanks for the info.
I had used the BT800 for a while before but i always had trouble getting it on my ear and pressing the buttons to answer/reject a call also was rather uncomfortable. With the HBH-662, i can do everything with one button and its sits very well on the ear, so i prefer this
Also, the BT800 seems to crackle with the JASJAR, i dont know why. I have personally experienced this, and that too when the device was right next to me. The HBH-662 on the other hand has superb audio quality, very happy over all.
Thanks again for your observations,
UD.
same problem with HBH-200 from SE...
ciao, Danilo

I have an XDA Exec and am using it with a Sony ericsson HBH 662 Bluetooth headset. They work absolutely great together and i can voice dial from my bt headset perfectly using the inbuilt Voice dialing.
However, i was attracted to Microsofts version of this, MS Voice Command, because it will verbally anounce the name (or number) of the caller. This, i thought would be simply perfect to use with the HBH 662, as it would save me from having to take the thing off my ear every time to see whos calling. (still much simpler than opening up the Exec!!)
I have installed the demo version of MS Voice Command and find that the caller id announcement only works on the device itself and NOT the BT headset. This defeats the object of me getting it, so i would really really like to know if anyone has a solution to this at all?
Please someone out there help me as if i could get this to work then im a very happy bunny!
Hi Goonerfish
you need to follow this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=29837&highlight=
best,
mikey mike
Hi Mikey Mike,
Thanks for that. I had seen that thread but was unsure whether that would also allow the caller id announcements to be heard on the headset?
I know that with that thread you are able to voice command from the headset, but it is unclear as to whether the device sends the sound (incoming caller id) to the headset?
Have you tried this and can you confirm that it will work?
Also, i have noticed that the caller id alert is coming out pretty quiet? You had the same problem and do you know a way around that?
Many thanks
Goonerfish
hi goonerfish
no - the incoming caller id doesn't go to the headset - no idea how you do that - sorry.
the caller id alert conflicts with the ringtone so tends to be drowned out a bit - i find it really clear for appointments.

i have a bt headset and tmobile mda vario.
i have paired the two...everything goes smoothly durings calls (incoming or outgoing).
i want to know if there is a way, while receiving a call a voice could tell me who is making the call ? without looking on the device?
something like :" CALLER X is CALLING " ... ?
Microsoft Voice Command.
Google it up.
I like using PhotoContacts Pro a little better. That way I can set up ringtones for the people that I actually want to talk to. That being said...Voice Command is the best addition I could have made to my Wizard since it allows you to voice dial everyone in your contacts by name or company and needs no training.
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.
