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.
Does anyone know how we can get all of the Sony DS980's features to work with our Tilts?
Any ideas?
Anybody?
Thanks,
Dave.
Install the jetware bluetooth extension and it gets a few more functions working but some features such as address book will still not work
Do you have personal experience with this? If so, please list everything that does work for us...
I've been using this for a month or so with the jetware extension installed, it allows you to browse your call history and return calls from there but not the address book.
I think after installing this the only things that don't work are the address book and music track name display.
Just try it out there's a 30 day trial and if it's not for you uninstall it. i don't think all features will work unless we get a new bluetooth stack, maybe windows mobile 6.1 update will do this when it finally comes out.
Does it display the names & numbers of incoming calls?
Do you know how your set-up compares to the Motorola S705 SoundPilot?
it does display the numbers of incoming calls, think the jetware extension needs to be installed for this though, if it's one of your contacts it displays the name like "Home" etc.
I've no experience of Motorola headsets but i would assume they will have the same problem as it seems the Microsoft bluetooth stack is missing the more advanced features so the information is not sent to the headset.
I have one
I just got my new ATT 8925. I am using DS 980. I will test it next week and let you guys know. I am using on my cingular 8125 and it works fine
Review, please!

The music and call quality are very good, compare to others BT I had tried before, HBH-200, Nokia Hs-12W and others Motorola BT. The only cons I have is, there is no clip-so it will be bouncy around your chest, and the charger head is hard to find (I wish they use a universal mini usb head for charger, so we don't need to bring so many charges). Pairing is easy and more stable, compare to my old cingular 8125. ID display for last 10 incoming/outgoing call on BT. You can't get your whole contact on BT display.
A few questions / care to do a review?

Have you tried it?
I want to pair to my laptop & listen to music off of it while I still have the ability to be alerted of incoming calls & to take them as well.
Can it do it?
Have you tried it?

Are the headphones permanently attached or can you replace them with any pair you like?
How do the original headphones sound:
-in general
-bass
Can you initiate calls with it (from your last ten calls list)?
Is there an audible alert for incoming calls:
-when the phone isn't on silent, so it is set to ring / ring & vibrate
-when the phone is set to silent
Have you tried the Jetware extension yet?
How much did you pay for your 980s?
Is that the best deal that you've seen on them?
If not, then where did you see that best price?
Link?

Spooki37, even without Jetware extension, I can get caller Id and call history on my DS 980.
Is the microphone on the DS 980 pretty good? It seems to have all the other features I want in a headset.
I bought a Motorola S705 and the microphone on it is horrible, everyone says I can barely be heard or my voice is clipped or runs together and they can't understand me.
Also the motorola will loose bluetooth connection if I get a reminder from PhoneAlarm that I missed a call or have a voicemail. Haven't tried to see if this happens when streaming music and a call comes in.
I just bought this unit. However, after a call comes in when music is playing, the unit disconnects. Is there any way to stop this?
I installed jetware and t seems my problem is fixed
jawbone and windows mobile
when you hear via your bluetooth, what is opening for the sound to be transfer over to your phone? i ask because is it possible to always have that communication port stay open?
why? i tried everything that I can possibly to get caller ID from my jawbone to windows mobile. Is it because it's not stereo? I have search and install in countless app...even A_C, baudio, audiotransfer...whatever the case might be, i can never get the caller id to announce thru my jawbone. and yes, i set the settings to have it annouce via bluetooth and enable my voice command..etc..etc. any apps that was told to annouce caller id thru bluetooth on works with music audio. It would be nice to have the communication port alway staying open.
Hi there!
I've been thinking of an idea that could be cool if it works in the real world.
The idea is that you install an app on your android phone, and one on your Win/Mac computer.
And these two applications would then work together through Bluetooth.
Scenario:
I'm sitting and working with my computer at a coffee shop, having music in my ear and concentrated on my computer. I neither hear or feel that the phone is vibrating or giving a way a noise that it has gotten a text message or a call.
The application on the computer would then sense when your phone is getting a text message or a voice call and give off a notification that you just gotten any of these.
Or if plausible, be able to answer your text message or call through the computer.
Would this idea be workable in the real world?
Thanks!
There are programs for windows mobile but I can't find any for windows smartphone 6.5 . I'm also looking for stock quotes software... one that can use stocks from non US markets.
I managed to get incoming VoIP/SIP working with a native app but it was a bit messed up. Basically I installed this package: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=596682
and followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299950
I can't get outgoing to work, but incoming works.
Wow you got it working? Which device do you have? I tried with the HTC Maple (called Mobilicity Snap here) and could never get the audio to come through the earpiece.
Anyway, the two programs I've tried that DO work are AGEphone and fring.
On the Mobilicity HTC Snap I got it working, yes. The question was not about using the earpiece, it was about using the native VoIP client. In fact, I did manage to get the VoIP calls through the earpiece but it has a very bad negative effect: the ringer also goes through the earpiece after a few seconds, thus making the ring on incoming calls very quiet. In my opinion, it is much better to use the headset for VoIP calls as it provides excellent quality, no echo and no problems with the ringer.
The problem with outgoing calls is in the way WinMo's VoIP places the calls. They work with Voxalot but not PBXes. I am assuming everybody can just use Voxalot as a middleman between the HTC Snap and the voip provider if there are any problems with outgoing calls.
That's funny, as I could never get it working with the headset. Outgoing calls worked, but only over the speakerphone, while incoming calls had no audio at all. The mic didn't even work; I could press the keypad and get a DTMF tone, but that was it.
Could you tell me exactly which steps you took to get the audio to come out of the earpiece? I kind of gave up and am using fring, but it would be interesting to see how you did it.

Sorry, apparently I was wrong, even with the earpiece hack (I tried both of them) the most you can achieve is to get the ringer to go through the earpiece but once the call connects it goes back to the speaker.
The only solution is to use the headset. I tried for outgoing only and I am able to dial, send DTMF and speak, so the mic works well.
With the native client on the HTC Snap VoIP works only with headset. Overall, I have been using WinMo for about a week and I can say that I hate it more than any other OS I have used. I wish we could get Android to boot but seems like the CPU on the Snap is messing up the effort.
Fring is also garbage on WinMo. It often fails to connect and when it does connect the call quality (over WiFi) is much worse compared to Fring on S60 or iOS. It eats the battery like a monster, something that doesn't happen on S60. There is no way to change/silence the ringtone with Fring on WinMo and if a call comes over the GSM line while you are on a call with Fring your Fring call goes through the speaker, very embarrassing.
I got my Snap for 100$ from Mobilicity and I think the hardware is worth it, but Microsoft should be paying me for being stuck with their useless OS.
