So I connected my (Bell Mobility) Vibrant to my Win7 X64 PC via Bluetooth using a Broadcom dongle, and all sorts of funny issues happen when attempting to control dialing from my PC, and use my computer as a speakerphone. To begin with, (a) the "Hangup" button doesn't work, plus (b) whenever I press the "Connect" button to "Use this computer as a headset or speakerphone for calls on your phone (Galaxy S)," the phone starts dialing the number written in the "Make a call to this number:" field (that is, if there's a number written there--otherwise it would start dialing the latest dialed number) without my having to press the "Connect" button. Ain't that funny? Anyone else going through this?

For some reason 'MortSaver v2.0 - Phone Edition', prevents 'Voce Speed Dial' to complete via BT headset activation.
VSD starts, you hear the beep to spell contact name, but as the screen doesn't came up, it also doesn't proceed recognizing the contact spelled.
Any hint here?
It would be great getting both apps interworking properly
I changed the path to voice command in the registry (HKLM/Software/OEM/VoiceCommand/ Path=\Program Files\VoiceCommand\voicecmd.exe), but my Cardo Scala-500 headset still does not activate Voice Command. I searched extensively, was not able to find how to make them talk to each other. Any ideas? Anybody else using MDA+Scala-500 combination with Voice Command successfully? I am on the last official T-mobile ROM.
I don't know if it is anything related. When I first paired my Wizard with a Motorola Bluetooth, the pairing process says it is hands free device. However, it will not do voice dial. Then I tap long on the selection of this device in Bluetooth configuration and bring up the menu. In the menu, I select make this device the default hands free. Afterwards, it will work with voice dial.
You need to check to see if that headset supports voice dialing. I beleive that there are some out there that don't.
The "Hands Free" checkbox is checked on the device. And the manufacturer says it does support voice dialing. Anecdotal evidence (online search) also says that some people were able to use MDA with this headset and MS Voice Command.
Can it be a function of my ROM or any radio versions? They are in my signature if it matters.
Also, the headset has "Bluetooth version: 1.2 Class2". I do not know what that means, maybe that is why I think it may matter.
Different headsets behave in wildly different ways when it comes to activating voice dialing. My Moto HS850, for example, activates VC on the second push of the button, and you can tell at the same time it is pulling all sounds from the phone so you can hear the "bling-bling"... and then it takes its sweet long time in allowing the phone to return to normal so you cannot use VC again until that happens. My Bluespoon AX2 is different, in that it works every other time, and my Jabra BT800 just plain doesn't even work.
I suggest you play around with the BT config in your phone to see what works best for you.
I tried one click, double-click, tripple, and push-and-hold - nothing works.
Also, just tried a colleague's headset (Jabra JX10), it does not activate Voice Command on my Wizard either. I am going to talk to the manufacturer of my headset, see what they say.
Hi everyone
I have Eten M700 with WM6 ..
I tryed couple of bluetooth headsets (regular, not stereo) and i was able to pair all OK & make and recieve calls
I was even able to divert all sounds to headset to listen to my music (using either btIO or Blue Music)
I also have MS voice commander 1.6 US & it works through bluetooth without problems
I still have one problem:
when i end a phone call (touching red screen dialpad button or by hardware button) or even by waiting for the person on the other line to hang up..then my headset disconnects (i do not see the headset icon on top right of dialpad) and on the next phone call i have to restart pairing by pressing the headst button (it should start automatically & not disconnect)
i do not have to enter pairing code but it is still one extra step that i did not have to do with other phones..also, i miss some calls because when it disconnects i may not hear my phone speaker ringing as i will be away or driving
Does anyone else have the same problem?
Any fix (software, cab or reg tweak) out there to keep the bluetooth headset connected and paired inbetween calls (not disengaging after a call ends)
Thanks
I have the same problem, though i use my DS-220 as a wireless stereo also , i have no problem using it as one or another (handsfree/stereo headset) but as soon as i'm listening to something and i answer a call, sometimes, the headset disconnects itself after a call and i also have to push the button on the headset to connect it again - but not every time, best solution to resolve this problem for 70% of occasions was to uninstall Microsoft Voice Command 1.6 which was messing up with the BT on my phone, since it uses the handsfree's talk/end button as it's own "engage" button, but still, sometimes, this error occurs
I was wondering, if someone of u has working BT Widcomm or any other better BT stack (better than the microsoft bull*hit) and would mind PMing me the link, I could try it out and see, if that's the solution
BT new fix needed
This dsconnection has been happening with me even before MS voice command installation
i did not notice difference with it installed, i am alble to make commands without bluetooth droping & i give my commands through the BT headset without any registry hacks (read something about people having to give commands through phone speaker not headset) i do not have that problem
my only issue is the dropped connection after finishing a phone conversation (by ending a call or other side ending it)
I need a good developer to fix that & also, maybe work on dr.Yar BT software that shows sender/reciepient ID and file progress. that software shows blank white pop-up window when recieving files from some devices.. maybe also add a clickable line to make BT discoverable or hidden to the menu list there
i use BT only for regular mono headset & file transfer, i route music to my mono headset with BlueMusic v2 sometimes too.
If these 2 issues are fixed im all set (droped with calls & ID/progress blank window in Dr.Yar)
Thanks for looking
nothing
no one has solution for this???
Hi,
Having found this cool software to drive my v1615 from my pc (http://www.raspberrysoftware.com/trueconnect.htm) I would like to be able to use the speakers/mic on the laptop for GSM phone calls.
I have an HP Pavillion running Vista and v1615
I thought maybe I could use bluetooth headset options (as this appears as a service on both handset and PC) but don't see how to do it
Any ideas on ANY way to achieve this?
On you pda, go to bluetooth setting, go to Devices tab, and then click on the computer you want to use as hand free and select set as Hand free.
You computer ad pda need to be paired first.
Working like a charm for me.
Good luck
I stream via A2DP to the computer in my car sometimes as well. Works nice.
I do this, but I can only hear the voice from the laptop. The input device is not recognzied as my microphone, but instead as the "bluetooth headset" and no voice input is detected there.
Any ideas?
You probably have to go in the input recording properties.
Double click the speaker icon in you system tray (bottom right icon) in the taskbar.
In the options menu of the Volume controller, select properties and in the mixer device, select the input you use for your microphone (usually you sound card name with input at the end, not the bluetooh one.), the Recording tick box should now be selected, and now click ok button.
Now you can select what input you want to use, select microphone and adjust volume.
You may also have to check the your bluetooth configuration on your laptop to allow this connection, but this should be ok as you can already hear sound on laptop speaker
I'm on Windows Vista. I can see "Headset Microphone" and "Microphone" (this one resembles my Realtek HD Audio mic). There is no way (that I have discovered so far) to make the Headset Microphone (whose device is called: "Bluetooth Hands-free Audio") take input from the Microphone.
The devices are paired and the headset option is enabled for the computer (and the computer has A2DP as a BT service for the device - no other autio options available) Have selected Set as hands-free against the pc on the handset. But still doesn't give me the option to Turn on hands-free when I'm on a call - any ideas?
love this phone but don't know if i have a problem or i'm just using it wrong and i'm an idiot,
i use an o2 blue hands free bluetooth and when i get an incoming call it rings nicely in my ear and i press button on the o2 blue and answer the call and it all works beautifully.
however if i'm making the call, i dial the number on the phone press green phone button and the bluetooth doesn't kick in the call stays on the phone.
(you don't press anything on the bluetooth as it don't work that way)
is this a bug or is there a specific way to make a call on the handset so the bluetooth kicks in??
(apologises in advance if i'm missing the blindingly obvious)
Hi, Scottydog -- I've been using the P6500 with a Bluetooth headset (Plantronics Voyager 815) without any problems. Though to the extent that things don't work properly, I have the opposite problem: when I _make_ calls with the headset connected, all is fine; but when I _receive_ them, calls initially go to the handset and I then have to choose "Turn Hands-free On" from the right soft-key menu to get the call on my headset.
Have you tried doing this after you dial calls?
Wish I had something better to suggest!
Alan
