I dont wanna really use a BT headset to make phonecalls, and i cant really find a clear answer of what i need.
Is there an internal speakerphone that is like in any normal phone ? I mean on the external speakerphone phones have, everybody arounds you can hear you, i dont wanna buy a phone and even my gf knows what i am hearing from everyone.
Is there gonna be a new revision of the hardware with internal speakerphone or that wont be an option ?
I wanna be using it as a phone 24/7 and i'd hate everyone around me to hear my conversations.
PS : Sorry if this is already answered but i saw answers saying both, that there is an internal speakerphone and that there isnt.
The only options to make/receive calls are using speakerphone or a headset (be it wired or bluetooth).

Hi,
I have the TyTn and when I connect it via Bluetooth to my Nokia CK7W carkit callers complain that my voice breaks up and they only hear every 2nd word or so. I also get the same complaints when using the handsfree inbuilt speakerphone, and that my voice fades in and out.
Yet when I talk normally with the phone to my ear the problem isn't there.
I've tried raising my voice and speaking closer to the mic in both cases but this doesn't work.
Any suggestions?
Tnx
Ari
Might be similair to the issues other users and I are having.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately it's not related to the other forums. My phone keeps the bluetooth connection and both incoming and outgoing voices can be heard.
I've heard it for myself and it sounds like i'm in a bad reception area. What's really puzzling is that it also happens when I speak on the phone with the speakerphone activated, yet when I place the phone right to my mouth then the problem goes away, so i'm thinking it's something to do with the mic switching off to cancel any echo?

I can't seem to figure out why they're doing this. Its particularly annoying, not because I don't want to talk to the person, but because I can't talk to the person (busy at work or elsewhere), but my phone answers anyways.
It doesn't do this with the wired headphones, or when not using any headphones. In case your wondering, its the Samsung SBH-170 (Stereo Bluetooth Headset).
I thought I saw a setting in the phone that had something to do with this, but of course I can't find it now that I need it (maybe I'm thinking of my old phone). There is a setting to automatically answer a phone and I can set how many rings, but that is not activated/selected.
Any ideas?
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.
hi, and thank you for viewing,
when i connect my bluetooth headset my x1 wont ring anymore. it vibrates and rings through the earpiece but not outloud.
i dont wear the earpiece until i get a call as i find it uncomfortable so i get a lot of missed calls.
i have looked through the settings but must be missing somthing can anyone help me?
thank you for your time
never heard about any bluetooth able phone being to direct audio to a headset while still playing it out it's speaker
people seem to use the headset to save other people from ringning apart from the handsfree thing
thanks,
what i mean is i want the X1 TO ring as normal so i know someone is ringing,
at the mo i have a bluetooth earpiece and when someone calls, my X1 is silent and the ringtone is played through the earpiece.
as i dont wear the earpiece until i recieve a call due to comfort i miss many calls when im in the car.
im sure it never done this in R1A but not certain
It should normally ring...my phone and bluetooth both rings at the same time....may be goto bluetooth select the device and only keep a check on handsfree option....
well after updating to R3A the problem is now resolved.
Another one of those "dunno what it was but its working now" things
thank you for your help
Hi,
So when you have a Bluetooth headset connected it's a fair expectation for calls (audio) to be routed through to it, right?
When making a call this happens as per expect.
However if you ANSWER a call via the handset itself (hard button or slider) then the call is kept local to the handset, it's only if you answer the call via your button on your Bluetooth headset that the call is routed to there.
Now you can once in the call select the "Handsfree On" from the menu to transfer it to the headset once you've realised your mistake, but surely this is a bit of a pain.. no?
I for one will most of the time physically pick up the handset and take a look who is calling before answering it (unless driving etc), so would like to just press the answer button and away I do.
Ideas anyone?
(Thanks!)

I have the same on my iPhone using my In-car bluetooth.
If I answer using the bluetooth answer button it goes thru the car speakers. If I use the handset answer button, it uses the iPhone itself, though I can then select to change it to the bluetooth from the iPhone.
I haven't received my Brodit cradle for my HD2 yet, so I've not set it up in the car yet, but I'm expecting the same arrangement I guess.

Hmm, I guess it's a case of personal preference - while you and I seem to agree I guess other may like the way it is. The answer is therefore a way to CONFIGURE this behaviour - anyone know if this is possible?
Same thing happens on my Topaz... didn't happen in my Omnia though.
I would like to know a way to alter it as well.
Has anyone tried the Car Kit Mode bluetooth option on the HD2 in the Sense UI 'Settings' tab then 'Other' at the bottom of the list, where you can tick or untick the box for autoconnect? I haven't but would like to know if it works for you.

Not really. A carkit is also a bluetooth headset. When I'm in the car and not driving, I can always choose to answer with the carkit - then everyone in the car can join in the conversation - or answer it on the device, which I prefer when my wife is driving and the kids are in the back. Even though I've made the mistake of using the slider when I really wanted the call on the carkit, I find having the choice a pretty good deal actually.
And besides, when using a headset, who's gonna take the phone out of their pocket to answer the call when all you need do is touch your headset - or better still set it to auto answer on headset calls. And if you really *need* to know who is calling first, why not install MSVC to have the phone tell you who is calling? Seriously, what's the point in using a headset if you're gonna take the phone out of your pocket anyway?
