Hi all.
Well, having updated to Darkforce rom and radio 1.15, I have *nearly* been convinced to switch to WM6 permanently. However, one issue is still plagueing me, and has been the same in all WM6 roms, no matter what radio I have installed.
When I get an incoming call, my headset will not reconnect. I hae to manually press the headset button to get audio to the headset, then again to answer the call. This does not always work. In WM5, my headset (Blutrek G2) can be in sleep mode, but the UNiversal always wakes it up for an incoming call.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks muchly.
Darkforce wm6 & radio 1.15 & sony hbh660: incoming and outgoing calls perfectly working without any button push.
Thanks for the reply. I've decided to ditch the Blutrek. Bought a Sony HBH-PV700 today and all is fine. Voice dial working as well

Hi, can someone help ? I've tried a bluetooth headset Jabra 250 and also a Sony HBH-35 with a I-mate.
I can get them to bond and also identify as default headset but I can't transfer a incoming or outgoing call to the headset.
I've also done several soft resets and no improvement.
Any ideas ? do I need a new upgrade or something.
Other than this small problem, I'm very happy. I have also success with the Sandisk wifi SD card.
Thanks for any tips, Dave
how are you bonding the headsets?
on my hbh-60 I have to hold the button in for a few seconds
on first powerup to get it into discoverable mode(red/green LED flash)
Then search for it with the XDA/MDA/iMate
I have had no issues with bonding.
What version iMate are you running?

Hi,
I'm not sure what information about versions is needed to help resolve this problem but:
ROM version 1.03.00 USA
ROM date 09/24/03
Radio version 1.05.12
Protocol version 1337.12
ExtROM version 1.03.20
When these are not up-to-date where do I get the current ones from ?
Thanks, Dave
Have you turn on the bluetooth headset mode (one item on the default today screen, not the bottom right icon)
I have been using the Jabra bt200 for a while now. The problem is, everytime you turn bt200 off, you have to rebond again. It also works a bit differently. Once bonded, it automatically transfers to headset on dialout. For received calls, you still have to use the headset button. I am looking for another headset that won't require constant rebonding.
Hi, thanks again for the tips.
NOW the HBH headset works. I put the "profile" option back in the Today display and then checked everything again.
Then I tapped on the headset profile on the today screen - this turned it off. Then, I tapped again to turn it on.
Now the headset works fine !
I'll try again later with the Jabra.
Thanks - Dave
Thanks Much !!!
Just wanted to thank this forum and this thread. I just got a HBH-65 yesterday and could get it to bond ok, but it still wouldn't work. It turned out to be not having the "Profile" shown on my Today screen. I placed it back on the Today screen and enabled it and it works great now.
THANKS MUCH GUYS !!!
I decided to open a new thread although there were several threads on the use of bluetooth headsets. My intent is to explore whether there is a particular sequence that we need to follow when operating the XDAII and BT headset. I am using a Ericsson HBH-65.
First observation:
I notice that I need to end all calls via the bluetooth headset rather than from the XDAII. If I end a call using the XDAII (ie depressing the red button), for subsequent calls whether incoming or outcoming, I cannot use the headset. There is no connection between the 2. I seem to be able to simulate this almost 99% of the time.
Second observation:
I normally switch off my BT headset overnight for charging purposes etc. At the same time I deactivate the BT settings on my XDAII.
The next morning, I would activate the BT settings, BT profiles and then switch on my headset.
I notice that for the first call I made/receive the next day, I will have problems using the headset. I am not quite sure whether it is the case that I need to switch on my BT headset first and then the XDAII BT settings and BT profiles. I say this as to resolve the problem, I seemingly need to deactivate/activate the BT profile settings before it works and then for subsequent calls I would have no problems using the headset. This needs further testing to test my hypothesis.
Anyone notice anything different on their part.

Same issues
I have had the HBH-65 and have noticed the same issues. I have also had an Logitech and did not have any problems with that.. I am guessing the issue is with the firmware on the HBH-65.
I use Bluetake GII with my xda2. No sequence, no problems. I never even think about switching it on or off. Works in any sequence. Nice looking too! :wink:
I have a Jabra 250, and I do not have to follow any ritual to have it to work fine
I have a Logitech Bluetooth headset with my Qtek 2020 (rom 1.60.21), and it works like crap.
First of all, the headset wont turn on/off sometimes.
Second - if its turned on, and the qtek has been turned off, i need to reconnect it, to switch automatticly when recieving a call.
Thirdly - both speak and hear is very poor quality/fare away (very silent) even though ive turned the volume to maxx.
BT Headset - Works Flawlessly
I have a Sony Ericsson HBH-30 headset and I never give the slightest thought to sequences or procedures. I can turn the headset on and off, the profile on and off, even the BT stack on and off - without ever having to re-bond or anything else.
Now if I could just voice-dial a call with the bloody thing I would be truly happy indeed.
Same problems but getting it figured out
I have the HBH-65 and it seems to work fine now that I've hopefully figured it out. I do a few things. First, I leave the Bluetooth on, on my i-Mate. Second, once it's in range I've noticed it takes about a minute for it to link up. When it links it either makes a single beep (if I just turned on the Headset) or a quiet click if it was already on. I doesn't work ALL of the time, but the more I use it the better it gets. I really expected it to be a little easier.
I have the HBH-200 with call display...which the salesman assured me that it would work with my XDA 2! Call display does not work, and if I end a call on the O2 the headset will hang. Other than that it's great!
I Have a XDAII and a HBH-35
They key to it seems to be not to turn anything off ! it's really frustrating when you think it's all linked up and then get in the car only to recieve a call and not be able to answer it with the headset.
If I have turned the headset off it's a right pain to bond again, red, green lights, funny beeps it's very confusing !
Once it's bonded it's great ! I am amazed with the call quality.
I have an Sony Ericsson HBH 35, I have no problem w3ith the bluetooth pick up call are end calls.
I can even transfer call from my bluetooth to the handaset and by reverse pick up call on my handset and then transfer the call back to the headset all I have to do his to hold the button on the headset fro a few second and the call transfer from the handaset to the bluetooth headset no problem.
Great piece of headset I would really reccomended it to anyone.
The rom on my XDA II is still the version 1.05

Do you ever turn your headset off or disable bluetooth?
I don't have any problems when it's bonded. Just problems if I turn the headset off to save battery
I only turn the headset off at night when I charge it. I use to swwitch off the headset but not anymore becauswe if it is on it use very very little power so it last all day with no problem.
The bluetooth on the XDA II I have never turn it off since I bought it 5 month ago the bluetooth headset on the XdA II is always on.
I've try it switch it of and then on the bletooth and the bluetooh heaset on the XDA II but when I turn it on and turn the headset on it all works fine.
They is no issue on the headset I've tryed every diffrent combinetion the is and the headset works fine.
I have never needed to rebond the headset with the XDA II.
The only thing I have not try is if I can receive a second caller.
Mean trying to switch between 2 caller when I have the chance I will try it.

Gigino

I bought the Jabra BT-800 headset for 119 EUR and was hoping to enjoy the headset w/o getting my PPC out of my pocketst.
Well that didnt work out. Pairing was easy, and after switching on the headset (in profile on today screen) I could call with it. The only thing is, I cannot get the call list on the headset to work. It doesnt show any numbers at all, and i wonder how its supposed to work anyway.
That being said, I also don't get to see who's calling me when using the headset.
1) Incoming call.... PPC rings..
2) After a few seconds the headset backlight switches on showing "Jabra BT-800" (standard text). I do not get to see who's calling me on my headset.
3) When listening to the ring tone on headset, after a second or two I get a really annoying sqreaking sound and that stays on till I accept the call or hang up.
So it is not working for me. Besides the headset does not stay on my ear correctly. I have small ears and it is really uncomfortable.
I have Qtek 2020 with Windows Mobile 2003 SE ROM (downloaded from this forum), ROM version 2.06.00WWE, Radio 1.18.00, Protocol 1337.38, ExtROM 2.06.100a
The Jabra BT-800 does not do what they say it's supposed to do.
Anyone else got these problems or solutions? Ciao
R.
me too
Same problem... They say it is also capable of BT voice dialing. I hate the way it takes so long to answer calls.
I am going to find out if the sony ericson ones work.. Then get that. The reception on the BT800 is great though.

Lucky you to get that far :evil:
After the upgrade to the Diamond 1.2 I have tried to bond my Bluespoon Digital. That was very easy and everything works fine, exept a call not is trasferred to the headset. I have tried both stacks, and I have tried it with the Sony Ericsson HBH 65. It simply doesn't work at all.
Does anybody have suggestions to what to do??
bluetooth headset not bonding
:lol:
Hi , I had smae problem with new I.Tech clip headset.
It's ok now as I downloaded the POcket Bluetotth Tools from this link:
http://bluetooth.i-networx.de/index_e.html
Now it's ok for incoming and outgoing calls...
Cheers..
Fingers
Persnickety Bluetooth
Thanks for the link!
I had a problem with my Jabra BT250 after the WM upgrade. The mic and speaker remained active on the device, and the earpeice on my headset was active, but not the headset mic. The BT Tools did the trick.
Thanks
Jabra BT800 & XDA ii
Hi there,
The Jabra BT800 isnt compatable with the XDA ii (check www.jabra.com)
I owned this headset and had exactly the same problems, i now own the Jabra BT200 and it works perfectly
The BT800 needs a phone with bluetooth handsfree profile to be able to use the advanced features like caller id. Xda II as standard has only bluetooth headset profile.
I'm not sure about the 2003SE rom some of you guys are using, but I've tried it with the Buzz WM2K5 rom (thanks buzz et al) and this DOES give it the bluetooth handsfree profile it needs.
BUT...
It seems Jabra's idea of caller id is to only pass the number across, and not the name. So for those of us that don't have a photographic memory its pretty useless. This isn't restricted to Xda's either. I tried a couple of Nokia phones that are 'compatible' according to www.jabra.com and these do exactly the same. Number shows on the jabra screen but no name, even though the phone is showing both.
I emailed Jabra about it and they acknowledge it is an issue. They also tell me there is an issue with numbers in international format in that they fail to pass the + sign across, so you can't ring out from the call list.
JD
Ya need 2.20 translated to have a working Hands Free profile.. BT800 needs hands free profile.
Caller ID still only displays if the number is a virgin to your system.. I think HBH662 will work with 2.20.
2005 may work with no problems too.
I have a G3 Wizard and a Samsung WEP200 bluetooth headset. I flashed the TNT professional rom to my wizard last night and installed MS Voice Command 1.6.
The bluetooth headset works fine for voice commands (I can even hear the program talk to me through it), but when I call someone by pressing the button and saying "Call person", it dials and then doesn't activate the hands-free option of the phone. I have to manually hit "Menu" and then "Turn Hands-Free On".
If I dial by hand or clicking a contact, it turns it on automatically. How can I make it turn on the hands-free function of the phone automatically after using the MSVoiceCommand option for calling someone?
I've searched the forums for quite a while, and can't seem to find a solution to this. If there is already a solution, please point me to it. Thanks, everyone. I appreciate any help.
UPDATE:
This issue seems to only happen when the bluetooth headset is turned on while the phone is already on. If the phone is rebooted after the headset is turned on, it seems to work fine.
Hello all,
I've had my TP for over a month now, and globally I'm pretty much happy with it. Of course there are some glitches here and there, but no doubt a firmware upgrade will fix those bugs soon.
That said, there's an annoying issue with the way bluetooth headsets work with the phone part. Let me try to explain :
- When an incoming call occurs and I answer using the "take call" button on my headset (which is a Plantronics Pulsar 590), sounds is transferred to the headset and everything works fine.
- When an incoming call occurs and I answer using the "answer" button on the mobile, the sound stays on the TP even if the headset is switched on and connected to the TP.
When the latter happens, I can't get the sound back to the headset. When I select "transfer to hands-free" from the phone menu, the transfer works erratically.
Is there a fix available somewhere to make sure that, when the headset is on and connected, the sound of an incoming call always goes to the headset?
Thanks a lot in advance for any help you may bring on solving this issue!
Are you using AEBPlus?
No (and honestly, I don't see how that relates to the problem)
Hi Guys,
I also have this issue.
But if I press the 'answer call' on the mobile the sound stays with the Touch Pro but if, once I realise what I've done, I press the 'answer call' on the headset then audio is transferred to the headset again.
Does that happen for you? I'm using an SBTHS-3500 BT headset.
Cheers,
D.

Sorry, I had multiple tabs open for responses.
Copy'n'Paste error.
P.S. I had this issue on my TP and Diamond as well. I have since installed a 2.03-based ROM which fixes the issue (since you can no longer press the phone button to answer, but rather have to use a slider).
