Tilt, AT&T Stock ROM, Microsoft Voice, and Bluetooth which work - PLZ Recommend

Greetings,
I have reviewed the Bluetooth vs. AT&T Tilt vs. Microsoft Voice threads, and cannot find a specific answer, so I am going to try to ask a narrow question here ...
... does anyone who has (i) AT&T Tilt with (ii) the AT&T ROMs, (iii) Microsoft Voice, and (iv) a Bluetooth Headset have all 4 working perfectly together? I need to buy a bluetooth headset, and the forums are littered with problems with Voice announcing, or problems answering the phone thru the headset, etc.
That's why I am just hoping to hear from someone who has all 4 of these things ... that work together. Any recommendations for the bluetooth headset are appreciated.
Thanks

My Tilt worked great with the stock ROM, MSVC 1.6.17913 and my BlueAnt Z9 worked flawlessly including announcing calls over BT.

Thank you!
I will look into the BlueAnt Z9. Thank you so very much for responding.
Of course ... if anyone else has the combination of stock tilt/voice/bluetooth, please let me/us know what other adapters might also work.

I did not have any issues with the Motorola H700 and MSVC 1.6.17913 on my Tilt.

H700
Andre - I recall seeing some mention of the H700 on other threads. Can you (please) confirm that you can answer the phone thru the bluetooth, and that call announce works?

I keep my unit on vibrate and ring and this is the way I tested it. I first placed a call using my office phone to my mobile handset in the "vibrate only" and "vibrate and ring" modes. When my mobile handset was on vibrate the notification came through to my headset with audible tones and my mobile vibrated, but no voice announce from MSVC was heard. When I switched the handset to normal vibrate and ring mode (assume this works on ring w/o vibrate as well) MSVC announced the caller through the headset and nothing audible was heard through the handset. I would say this headset is 100% compatible with the Tilt and MSVC.

Bought the Z9
My Z9 arrived today, and it does answer the phone, engage in voice command, etc.
Pretty nifty (but expensive) bluetooth.
Thanks!

Glad you like it. I hope you give us a nice reveiw after you play with it for a while. I am contemplating moving up because I have had this same type of headset for years now HS810, HS820, HS850, and the H700.

I've got AT&T Tilt, Stock ROM, MS Voice Command 1.6.17913 and Samsung WEP200 all working together.
Also, in MS Voice Command, there are options to select the source the phone calls are made from.
Go to "Start" > "Settings" > "Voice Command"
Click. "Notifications" button and the options that come up are...
-Announce notifications using Bluetooth hands free only
-Announce notifications using Bluetooth hands free if available
-Announce notifications through device speaker or wired headset only.

i still cant get it all to work on my tilt like my 8125...8126 was the bomb with vc. tilt is so nice but not with vc

I tried out a plantronics 665 the seemed to work well, but I didn't care that much for the headset. Returned it and got a nxZen nx9000, and it doesn't seem to work with voice command. Not sure why one works and not the other. Anyone care to speculate, or state with authority, why the 2nd headset doesn't work? Thanks.

Anybody knows how Logitech Mobile Pro Headset works with this combo?
Thanks

Is the Jawbone working with all this? I broke my last Jawbone, but would definatele get another, assuming it would work.

My Jawbone works with my Tilt with the stock ROM. Make sure you install VC before you pair your phone with the headset. If you already paired, delete the pairing and re-pair after the install.

Thank you much.
Now I've got another issue, somebody said "BLUEant" and I saw went looking... I like Blue
Trying to decide between the Z9 or another Jawbone. Comparitively they're about the same with the Z9 being the smaller and more "attractive" of the two, and it also costs alot less. Not to mention it's firmware can be update.
But the big plus for me is that it's BT 2.0 BT 2.0 + Firmware upgradeability make it a serious contender in my book. The Jawbone is in it's prime... whereas the Z9 could get better.
Can't decide at the moment...

I also have the Tilt and Jawbone working together but does anyone know if it is possible to issue the voice commands via the headset. I can only talk into the phone to make it dial a name and then the call is directed to the bluetooth headset.
has anyone got this to work all through the headset.

I couldn't imagine it not being possible... I managed to use the Jawbone with the RAZR V3 in or to use voice dialing and it worked decently.

Jawbone and voice dial
Have had a Jawbone paired with my tilt since I bought it. Works perfectly except calls are not announced through the bluetooth, but important e-mail subjects are read through the headset when they arrive.
The Jawbone is sometimes awkward because it gets loose on your ear/cheek if you move your head alot and then sounds like your talking through a long tube.
Thinking about trying blueant, but haven't heard any glowing reports yet.

There are plenty of fantastic reviews for the BlueAnt Z9. It seems to me to be just the same as when I was researching the Jawbone. You'll either love it, or you'll hate it.
The big plus to me with the BlueAnt is that it's warranty is fantastic (2 years compared to the Jawbone's very specific 1 year warranty), it's BlueTooth 2.0 Stereo (should result in better sound quality as I plan to use my Kaiser as my MP3 player as well), and the big plus for me is that its firmware can be updated. Thanks to the firmware, the Z9's limitations are moreso a limit of it's firmware than it's hardware, whereas the Jawbone is fixed.
With that said, I loved my Jawbone... and I'll still be using my current one while it's still functioning (it's falling apart... Jawbones aren't very well built I'll say that) and comparing it to my Z9 when it gets here.

Hi URPREY - I have the same setup (with the official ATT ROM update 1.62.502.0) working, but instead of announcing the callerid info, I'm hearing "please answer or not at home" through my Blueant Z9 via my Tilt. Any ideas?

Please help: Bluetooth problem

Finally, i got my HD today. Everything is working fine, except for one thing.
I'm not able connect with my bluetooth carkit. I've tried severall things: Carkit searching my device, which was visible and device searching for carkit. Both without success
Anybody an idea what i'm doing wrong here?

This may sound like I'm being condescending, but I'm not. Have you tried turning it off and then back on? The HD has a couple of problems that are solved by a power cycle. If it still doesn't work, then is the carkit compatible with HTC's? It's not a Sony Ericsson one is it? Their Bluetooth tech isn't very pally with other devices.

What do you mean with a power cycle?
I turned the device several times off. Performed several resets. No luck. The carkit is working fine with my old HTC 3600

The Bluetooth [for phone/A2DP etc] in WM is pretty retarded when you compare it with phone manufacturers like motorola and nokia who have had it down perfect for years now - it's one of may major gripes with WM (and why I can't wait for Android, then some clever person can hopefully develop a BT interface that WORKS properly...anyway) - I've not tried to hook mine up to the car yet [will try tonight] but if it's any consolation my Diamond took a few go's to get hooked up as well (in both cars - seemed to prefer the Parrot unit though)
Just one thing - you DO have the bluetooth set so that it is visible to other devices right? (I know that may sound a bit patronising, but I have to confess to one time getting really bent out of shape trying to hook up my headphones and eventualy realising that I hadn't set the phone to visible....ahem...)
***EDIT:
Later that day....
Ok - DITTO that - just tried many many times over and my HD will NOT connect to the Parrot 3200 in my car - NOT good [haven't tried the wifes car yet as I'm just too pi55ed off right now]. This unfortunately Is a deal breaker for me and I'll have to sell it on if it wont hook up (how retarded is that, even my humble ancient motorola works perfectly in the cars!)
***Second Edit:
Just FYI/update: Soft reset - and hooked up straight away. (So if you have issues, try a soft reset)

Got my HD yesterday, was able to pair Motorola S9 BT, both in headset and A2DP and listened to podcasts via RSS HUB. Today, nothing works!!!!
Tried soft-rebooting HD and restarting headset to no avail. HELP!

Same problem here. I was able to pair my HTC Touch HD with a JVC KW-NX7000 radio/Nav. On the display of the JVC I can see the batterypower of the HTC and the signal of my provider (Vodafone). My adresbook is transferred to the JVC, I can place a call from my JVC and then I get an error. When I turn on the screen of the HD Touch HD and then place a call on my JVC everything works fine. The problem seems to be, that the screen of the phone doesn't turn on when I place a call. When I dial a number on my phone, everything works fine.
I hope that someone has an answer to these problems.
I thought the problems had to do with the JVC but now I have my doubts.

Today I removed my bluetooth-connection and tried to make a new connection between my HTC Touch HD and the JVC KW-NX7000 radio/navigation in my car. On top of the screen of the HTC I saw two icons appear. (Left from the 3G icon)
I was surprised to see everything work, even though it was just for a short period. I could place a call from my JVC, the screen on my HTC turned on, the number was dialed and I got connected. At some point 1 of the 2 icons disappeared and again I wasn't able to make any calls from my JVC. The problem has something to do with those 2 icons which (should) appear when you make a bluetooth connection. I hope that somebody can help me with my problem.

Personally I think the bluetooth is bugged. This is what I have figured out when connecting my headset.
First time I paired everything worked fine. The paring profile was correct. There are two differnt profiles matched -1st the wireless stero and 2nd Headset
So this gives me two functions after pairing - 1 = listening music on my wirless headphones and 2 = making and recieving calls through the heahphones.
This gave me two icons - 1 being headphones with music symbol (wireless stero profile) 2 being headphones with another round symbol i cant make out (for the headset profile)
After you disconnect both the phone and headset the problems start. I turn on the blueooth on phone and headset, but I only get one symbol appear and thats the second one. This means i can use to make recieve call but not listen to music.
After along time messing about i found out that if you go back into the bluetooth device profiles and remove the tick for wirless stero and save config - then go back in and re-tick and then save evething starts working again until you disconnect again
I now have to do the remove tick and add tick everytime I want to use my bluetooth headset which is annoying. Thats why im conviced there are problems, so becareful when you setup as it might be working first time but you wont know unless u check it straight away on the initial pairing

Got excactly the same problem. Tried A2DPToggle but that thoes not work on my T-HD. Hope someby knows a tool or an answer for this.

absolutely agree , bluetooth is buggy !!!
sometimes I am loosing the connection to my car , sometimes it worked fine for hours , sometimes only for minutes
if I am listening to music (ds980) and receive a call, the connection to hear music is lost after closing the call
if I have some longer calls, sometimes the connection drops
so at the moment bluetooth @ HD is absolutely not stable !

buggy BT still happening?
Had issues with Nokia E71 randomly dropping/reconecting BT ... sometimes dropping during a call ... sold it on eBay
Brought Omnia i900 - Voice over BT headset does not work ... (but now a fix has been found over at modaco.com so happy)
was seriously looking at touch HD but will not if this thread is correct as sick of paying out good $$$ and finding a must have feature is not working
Q. has a fix been found or is BT still buggy
thanks

Bluetooth Problem
I think the problem may have something to do with multi-function devices (make and receive calls + stream music) I'm having problems with my Jabra
SP700 ,pairs no problem , 2 icons in top bar , can make calls and play music. Switch off phone or Jabra and then reconnect I can only make calls, no music, even though the 2 icons are displayed in top bar. I also have a Sony Erricson external speaker and a pair of Sony headphones both of which work fine no problem. Is this something that can be fixed with updated bluetooth drivers for HD?

Bluetooth connection issues

I have a Jawbone Prime headset, and I'm having trouble with it connecting to my rooted Eris, and when it does connect sometimes, it doesn't work properly, I'll hear the ringing through the headset, but have to use the handset to talk, and it randomly disconnects. I didn't have this problem with other phones and the same headset, and ideas as to what could be wrong with this?

I had the same problem with my pioneer radio after rooting. It worked perfect prior. I have tried every ROM there is and the only ones that seem to correct the issue are the cynagonmod based ROMS. I am running ELB 2.5 now and it works great. Only drawback is it wont connect to my work exchange due to security policies where as the other 2.1 roms will. Hope this helps

Thanks for the advice
Thanks for the advice, I'll have to give it a try, I love the HTC Eris, but can't stand using it without a headset. Now if I can only get it to work on my car head unit as well...lol Have to love bluetooth... Can't live with it, can't live without it

[Q] Jabra Extreme2 with Epic 4G causes phone to freeze

I have searched and searched and I am actually currently waiting two new Jabra Extreme2 headsets from Jabra.... but I don't have a lot of faith that the problem will be solved.
The scenario is simple.. Calling and listening to music is fine. The issue is on incoming calls, and only MOST of the time.
If the headset is on and connected (bluetooth) the ringtone will start to stutter and the announcement in the headset will be "call from " and a number instead of the actual name in the contact list. At this point the phone will be frozen. The call will roll to voicemail. The only way to shut the headphone up from repeating the number continuously is to turn it off. Once the headset is off, you can usually get to the pulldown and turn off bluetooth. It will take awhile (minute or two) to release, but it will. At this point you can turn on the headset and turn on bluetooth again and make a call without issue. Maybe even receive a call... but about 8 out of 10 calls will result in the above.
My wife and I each have an Epic 4g and a Jabra Extreme2 headset. The issue is the same on both phones. We have older Jabra BT530 headsets that other than sounding like crap. (old bluetooth tech) work great, no issues.
I'm not convinced the issue is the headset. I mean really, there is no "software" for the headset. It's just a bluetooth connection, so why is the phone freezing? I tried different ringtones as I thought that might be the issue, but it isn't.
Does anyone have any thoughts or insight, or any idea if it could actually be the headset causing the phone to freeze.
Also, does anyone know how to disable the PBAB as that seems to be related but without being able to disable it, I can't confirm.
Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated. Anyone using the Extreme2 ?

Well, I have a Moto Finiti Bluetooth and I am not having any of the issues you mentioned so far. Thankfully its connecting better than earlier ROM releases on my Epic

Incoming Text Alert on Bluetooth Headset?

This is what I am trying to do.
When I am driving I usually have my phone in my briefcase or center console so it is very easy to miss the alert tones of the SIII.
On my Windows Mobile 7.5 phone (Focus) I would get a voice alert on my bluetooth headset telling me that I have received a text message from ____ and if it should read it.
Does the SIII have similar feature? I will settle on getting some sort of tone alert on my BT Headset so I will know to get to my phone and retrieve my message......something!
I have tried using the driving mode where it will read out all alerts but it only works through the phones speaker even though my bluetooth headset is turned on and connected.
Ideas anyone?
Thanks

Some capable Motorola bluetooth headsets can have that feature w/ a motorola app. I have the Motorola Elite Flip and have the app set to turn on when bluetooth is turned on. I can receive and send text without looking at my phone. And of course same with phone calls.
There are also some 3rd party apps that can do this with any bluetooth i believe. I use to use Vlingo a lot.

I checked out the My Motospeak app and it looks like a very cool app but since I already have way too many BT headsets, I will wait and see is I can do what I want with what I already have.
Since my initial post, I spent some time playing around with my phone and came up with a potential solution using my Jawbone Icon headset and the Samsung S-Voice app/
What I found was that if I will connect my Jawbone Icon to the phone audio ( a2dp) and then turn on the driving mode, all the phone audio output including TTS outputs are send to the Jawbone headset.
The only thing is that I have to remember to turn off the driving mode when I'm not using my BT headset or else all the TTS outputs will come out through the phone's speaker. I wish there is an option to have the driving mode turn off automatically when I disconnect my BT headset or at least restrict it to sending out text messaging TTS only to headsets. I will see if I can live with that limitation.
Thanks again for taking the time to response to my question. :good:

I see though find driving mode, but have you tried a app called tasker? You can find it in the play store. It is a paid app but you can set it so when you connect Bluetooth to automatically start driving mode.
