Forward Calls to PC ? - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
In my apartment it's very hard to catch the network except in one place. Unfortunately it's not the best place to make calls.
I was wondering if there's any way to forward the calls I receive on my phone (KS20 with wm6.1) to my computer , with the sound on my pc speakers and the pc mic replacing the phone's one. I could leave my phone where it catches the best signal and stop having my calls terminated by lack of signal!

If you have a bluetooth stick for your computer which supports headset protocol (like mine) that will be no problem...

Mhh I see I just need this kind of bluetooth stick , and then I can use my pc as a bluetooth headset for my phone?
That's a very good solution. Is this kind of bluetooth stick expensive ?
If someone has got an idea to do the same thing but with the usb cable, I would love it too!

Bluetooth Handsfree Connected, but no sound

Hi if someone can help me it would be much appreciated. I just bought a Touch Pro and everything is working fine....except for one really annoying issue.
Whenever I connect my bluetooth to a headset, it shows connected but no sound is coming out. The sound is muted. when connected to my Audi, I see that the phone has bars (shows connected and I can dial the phone), but when I make a call no sound. Similarly on my SE HBH-DS970 headset. The A2DP works perfectly, but when I make a call nothing.....I've searched google and through XDA and no solution.
Can someone suggest a solution? I've soft/hard reset the device already. If I should change Radio ROM which one would someone suggest that's stable? Thanks
If no one else has this problem, can anyone at least suggest to me if this sounds like a Hardware or software issue? If hardware I will return it, but if software I will try to find a solution. Like I said the phone connects to BT, but I just can't get handsfree to work. File transfers and A2DP work. Thanks
Just flashed to UK ROM and still no help....I've read some people having the same problems over at the Diamond thread...I'm the only one answering my own thread here hahaha....if anyone can help I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
Hi,
I occasionally had such an issue with my Parrot CK3100, but I did not get the time yet to investigate further. After the call was connected I did not hear anything, and I am not sure whether the other party could hear me.
On another day, the handsfree was working perfectly OK.
Cheers
Michael
Thanks for replying Michael....I'm at a loss and I tried all the suggestions posted. I hope it's a software issue...I'm going to buy a bluetooth headset tomorrow and see if that works. It's not the end of the world, but annoying since all my ppc, s60, BB, and UIQ phones prior to the TP have not had any such issues.
Do you think it's a software issue?
have you tried playing music?
Yes.....A2DP works perfectly....no problems whatsoever with file transfers either....I'm guessing either it's a software problem or the phone has a new bluetooth software that's not agreeing with my older SE headset, but the car is another issue. The Car is 2007 and I'm sure the Bluetooth software is not that old. I've tried Euro WWE and Asian WWE ROM and no go.....I'm going to try the Cingular ROM and see what happens.
Just another quick update....I tried 2 other different bluetooth headsets and still the same problem... for some reason the sound for handsfree will not come through...anyone know of registry hack possibly that will allow sound to come through?
May not be entirely related to your problem...
Mine is worst...whenever I have paired my Jabra or iTech BT headset, when the phone rings, 8/10 times the phone will auto pickup (and no I did not setup the phone to auto pickup) and the it will NOT connect to the bluetooth. Instead it will be just like an auto pickup and the sound will come thru the phone headset. This is driving me nuts!!!!

HTC Titan Bluetooth Auto Answer Issue

I searched and found this topic covered like 2 yrs ago but no one responded with an answer on that one so I'm going to try again.
I have a Verizon XV6800 (HTC Titan, Spring Mogul) and I'm working on connecting it to a PC that I will install into my car as a CarPC. Software is limited out there that work well with a PPC phone and is easily integrated into the front end im using on the PC. Bc of this I made a skin for the frontend that controls the phone using MyMobiler and I want the audio to come over the BT. I set it up using a Belkin BT Dongle and configured the Voice Gateway feature. It works good if I want to make a call, but when I receive a call it auto answers almost immediately. (less than 1 ring) I checked all the setting and auto answer is turned off all that.
The issue seems to me is that the PC and Phone don't make a connection until a call is started. So when I get an incoming call it then connects and I guess assumes im putting on a BT headset therefore I want to answer the phone... I need it to not auto answer... If i have the music on in the car i dont even hear it ring and before i know it someone is listening in on me in the car on the other end of the phone and i dont even realize it....
Any ideas on how to make it not auto answer? Maybe something in the registry? Or how to make it stay connected to the computer when im in range like it would if I had my headset on?
Thanks for any help!

[REQ] Phone --> Bluetooth Speaker

Ive been searching around but can't seem to find any apps that would do this. seems to me like it would be quite simple to do. anyone know o something similar to able to quickly put something together?
Main reason at the moment is that i currently have a long wire diagonaly across my room to connect my laptop to my speakers. I just thorght it would be realy good if i could plug my phone into my speakers and then send music to it via bluetooth. Im sure other people have been in this situation where an audio cable has not quite been long enough. I have also discovered that many people have TVs supporting bluetooth headsets who would love to be able to listen through their phone.
there is wifi option: twonkys media server. or xmbc which i have been pointed to however I have discovered I am unable to connect to the wireless due to security issues. battery life would also suffer more.
any thorghts on this?
Been a while, but did you have any luck?
I'm looking for a way to deploy my WinMo phone as a Bluetooth Audio Sink, i.e. receiving stereo music on it & relaying that through either its speaker or connected headphone.

[Q] Transfering call from bluetooth speakers to phone by tasker, how?

How do I transfer a call from bluetooth speakers to the phone with tasker? Cant find any parameter for tat action :/
Why: When in car I want the calls to go through bluetooth handsfree system, but if its a private call and I have company in the car I would like to be able to pick my phone up from the dock and then the call should be transfered to the phone automaticlt even thou the bluetooth still is connected.
How do I do this?
Thanks in advance

The way I would do it is have a script to turn off bluetooth when there is an incoming call and it is removed from the dock (by the way what do you mean by dock?) and then re-enabling it when the call ends.
Good thought, but its like walking around the problem. Ill try if my car likes me to switch on and off BT or if it will refuse to reconnect.
Dont need a script for it, tasker have defaults to just turn of the BT in this case. But it would be a hell lot easier if I could just re route the sound since there are buttons for it on the darn phone
A dock... the holder with included charger for my mobile in the car.

On htc phones if you answer from the bluetooth the call will take place there but if you will answer from the ohone the call will be directed on the phonespeaker
I also have this problem but in opposite way. I want that when my phone has the autoanswer enabled the call to remain on the bluetooth which is not happenning and when i am riding the motorcycle is difficult to answer from the bluetooth device

Connect Android to ext USB mic and speakers for phone calls

I have a Blue Snowball mic and JBL Pebble speakers connected to my PC (actually Macbook Air running Win 7) via a USB hub. I use this combination for Skype calls. I also have an Xperia Z4 and would love to be able to use the mic/speaker combo with that as well, for phone calls. Is there any way at all to make this work?

If you want to use something externally for calling, your options are Bluetooth or devices that connect to your headphone jack. USB on android is for charging and data transfer. I don't think audio works over USB on android.
I DO NOT PROVIDE HELP IN PM, KEEP IT IN THE THREADS FOR EVERYONE TO SHARE
For posterity, in case anyone else needs this information. I found a solution slightly different from what I first wanted but which may be even better. Details below. But first a word on the original solution I was attempting. Android does not support this. Nevertheless, some Bluetooth stacks on Windows implement this, somehow fooling Android into believing that the connection is to a bluetooth headset, not to a PC. The stack that was mentioned here and there is the one from Widcomm. I tried installing this on my PC but failed.
And here is the solution I settled on eventually. Instead of messing around in Windows, I bought a bluetooth hands-free device designed to be used in cars. Only that I also use it on my desk. And even in the kitchen when I'm busy there. The model I bought is the Jabra Freeway but there are others. Works like a charm. Why it's better than what I wanted: because I can use it everywhere, including in my car where I also listen to podcasts and YouTube talks on the thing. And also because it allows me to conference parties on Skype (on my existing PC setup) with parties that call me on my phone, the traditional way.
I've combined this with a software called Just Remote Phone to control my phone from Windows. Perfect! (www.justremotephone.com)
