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

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?

A few questions , if you don't mind:
Does it work with Voice Command?
How well?
How comfortable is the lanyard?
Can it be worn comfortably all day?
Is the lanyard detachable?
Is the lanyard adjustable / can it be shortened?
Does it have any sort of an auto-pairing feature?
Is there much of a delay in pairing?
How fast or slow is it?
How does it do switching to & from incoming calls when you're listening to music?
Is there much of a delay?
How fast or slow is it?
Does it show the contact name &/or # of incoming calls?
Does it show the contact name &/or # of outgoing calls?
How does it do switching to & from incoming calls when you're on a call already?
Is there much of a delay?
How fast or slow is it?
Does it show the contact name &/or # of the incoming call?
Will it let you know if the person that you put on hold hangs up while you're talking to the new caller?
How's the range on it?
Can it pair to multiple Bluetooth devices simultaneously?
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?
How does it do switching to & from incoming calls when you're listening to music from the laptop (or the other source besides the Tilt / Kaiser)?

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
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.
Is it possible to connect an android phone to the tablet through Bluetooth, WiFi or even usb and make and receive calls and sms through the tablet?
tried searching, but all i can find is how to use the phone's internet connection, but cant find any information on how to connect to the cell phone part for calls and sms.
you can use a app called textab ..or sms sync ..
for sms phone calls .. only thing i know of is like google voice or like skype.
Will those work with the iphone as well? I'd love to have texts pushed to my tablet.

There is an app in the market called AirDroid that will allow you to text through your tablet. It will connect to your phone via wifi using a web browser, I am using Skyfire. I am not sure if you can make phone calls, but you can transfer music and photos. Hope this helps.

Airdroid is a very nice and useful app. thanks for that.
unfortunately, no phone function though.
years ago, i had an old "dumb" phone that i connected to the computer with bluetooth and was able to make and receive calls from it.
wonder why it is not available with the so called "smart" phones.
even to just be able to use the tablet as a hands-free device to answer calls would be useful to me. i can do it when the phone is connected to the computer with bluetooth. but when i try to connect the phone to the tablet, nothing happens. it tells me that it is paired but not connected and no other options are available on either the tablet or the phone.
They have a program called tablet talk on the market. You can make and receive txt true the tablet and see incoming phone calls on the tablet from the phone thru Bluetooth or wifi
If your on sprint, you can just integrate your cell number into google voice, with groove ip I can make calls and SMS from gvoice app

It's a very interesting concept. It's something that I would be interested as well.
Tablet Talk and Texttab allow to send and receive SMS when connected to the phone by BT.
Tablet Talk works with most tablets with a Wi-Fi connection but not with the iconia a100/500
For phone calls, there is still another problem with the a500 : it's the low volume of the microphone, anyway...
Google voice plus goove IP... your welcome.
Thanks, but I already have a voip service.
not what i am looking for.
like to have a direct access to the cellphone part from my tablet. or at the very least, use the tablet as a handsfree device.
but i guess it is asking too much and it is not possible or there would have been something on market to do that by now.
oh well...
Use phone with tablet
Hi,
I'm interested in this aswel ...
Primarily the idea is that say I have a Samsung Note, which is a bit big to hold up to your head to make a call, to be able to connect a phone to the Note and make/receive calls using the phone but through the Note. A bit like a bluetooth headset, but using a phone.
Before anyone says it, I have a B'Tooth headset, but I hate them - I don't want to look like a cab driver 8)
Cheers,
Stu
I use TexTab. I love it. It allows me to create new texts, respond to ones that come in, and even displays alerts for incoming calls. I can leave my phone charging in one room of my house while I use my Iconia in another room to text through my phone.
Bluetooth only
Here is the thing. I installed an android tablet in my car, and now i am trying to sync it to my phone in regard to phone calls and sms. I know google voice can do that but i am not planning on putting internet connection on the tablet since it will almost always be in the car. My old TomTom had a bluetooth sync with my phone and could receive phone calls from it .. is there any possible way i can do that and sync my tablet with my phone via bluetooth ???

You posted in very old thread. As an answer to you Bluetooth mic support is not available with the a500 in either direction, so it will not do as you want
MighyText
I use mightytext. Its simple.and does not need to be connected either by bluetooth nor wifi. Works like.. charm. Just download it.on both your android devices. Very simple
Hi all,
I have a rather frustrating issue and I am not finding an answer. I drive an old 2007 Seat with an OEM bluetooth that is beautifully handled by the steering wheel and the dashboard.
I have a Note 3 SM-N9005 running Magma NX and I am very happy with it. When I connect the phone to the Bluetooth it only connects as Calls (Not media) and it handles regular calls perfectly. I do however have all my family overseas and rely a lot on whatsapp and skype calls to stay in touch and I drive a lot. When I receive a Whatsapp call, my own number shows in the dash and I can pick up the call and I can talk for a few 10 seconds and the the bluetooth link is lost. The call remains on but the link with the car is lost. I also tried it with a friends unrooted OEM Samsung J5 and the same thing happens.
HOWEVER! My wifes iphone SE does it all, calls, whatsapp and skype, and it is the very first time I am inclined to switch to an iphone, only because of that and I am not liking it.
Can anyone think of a reason why the iphone will handle voip call over the car's older oem BT whereas the android wont? Is there possibly a solution for it? (I am not changing my car or my car's stereo anytime soon)
Many thanks in advance for any pointers!

Something similar happened to me using my stereo's bluetooth feature, but my problem was that I wasn't able to link-pair them at all. I erased the stereo's history of connected and paired devices, I removed the stereo from my paired devices in my Note 3 also and re-paired them from the beginning. It works great after I did that, have you given it a try?
