I know this forum is visited by many smart people who might know the answer.
Is it possible to programm something like this?
When my connected blue tooth headset is not anymore within reach of my HD2, the HD2 should sound an alarm.
Anybody an idea?

What would that be good for? When you have your headset on and go with it so far you're out of reach, you won't propably hear the alarm.

HAHAHA You're a ****ing Genius
Thanks for the reply. But think of it the other way around. When my headphone is stolen, my phone will warn me. Or my jacket with the headpone in it.
The next step is to lock and unlock my laptop when I am in reach with my HD2 etc.

Well, i still think it would be more annoying than usefull. Most time you keep the headphone by yourself, so it be more likely stolen your phone than headhone. And if you have the headphones in jacket or somewhere, your phone would sound the alarm everytime you get the jacket out of your sight. It would make false alarms like all the time, so you won't be paying any attention to it and woul become very annoyed.
IMO it wouldnť be so hard to make an utility that would sound and alarm when bluetooth connection is lost, but as i said, such a soft would be more pain then contribution
There's that function in the software for my bluetooth watch, the watch will vibrate when connection is lost (that's actually a function of the watch itself), and the software can sound and/or lock the phone when out of reach.
I quickly disabled that as I was getting tired of my phone sounding and locking itself whenever I left my phone on the desk and went a few meters away.
I very reasonable request.
I've also thought of this for various reasons. Alarms or notifications can be set agains signal strength/distance and time delays can stop it from being annoying.
really usefull request...pls some solution

Hi People,
I'm looking to get potentially 3 Bluetooth Headsets for XDAII (for staff)
And I don't want any moaning once I get them that the quality is bad
Could you post your personal experiences of ones you have purchased and are using please. Would like some recommendations if possible.
I have a Sony-Erricsson HBH-35. Works like a charm.
No rebonding, it reconnects wether you'r out of range, the phone or headset has been switched off etc...
I have a Motorola HS810.
It's nice and small (even with the boom open). The audio quality is excelent. However, what really nags me is that it takes too long to boot the device when you open the boom, so that in most occasions it takes too long to connect to the XDA and I can't pick up a call in time.
Also, sometimes it simply doesn't connect to the device after I pick up a call on the XDA and I can't transfer the call to the headset.
Anyone with the same problems with this headset ?
My HBH65 works absolutely perfectly with the XDA2. Original XDA2 radio & Bluetooth stack - just as it came out of the box. I *never* need to rebond the two devices, even if they're switched off, out of range or whatever, and I can walk around my (small) house using the headset and leave the XDA2 on the desk.
Only criticism is the battery life on the HBH65, which is pants. I have to charge it every other day, at best, without much useage.
Still, it's *very* comfortable and the sound quality and volume is good in quiet environments. In the car it's a struggle, but that could be because I have a car with a 6 litre engine and no exhaust silencers...
I have a Jabra 250
Works perfect, never any bonding, or lost call problems, and as set 250 minutes of standby time, very small, and looks really smart. After I bought one, my wife wanted one too.
Thanks for the response all, much appreciated !
I opted for the Sony-Erricsson HBH-35
I got them from expansys and got them the next day! .... they are great. The call quality is excellent. I think the boom helps to eliminate background noise as the mic doesn't have to be too strong.
Now i just need to go to the "using it" forum to find out how to use voice dialing :s
Logitech BT headset is the best !
I really like the Bluespoon Cameleon. Works very well. Only about $100. Much less obtrusive than other Bluetooth headsets. You can change it's colors, which is cool. It's much smaller and lighter than other headsets as well.
It was so good, that I thought I'd go one step further and get the Bluespoon Digital, which I just started using. The Bluespoon Digital seems to get the call transferred instantly (quicker than the Cameleon), and it's about the size as the end of my thumb.
I havn't had the chance to try out the automatic gain control (changes volume of speaker based on ambient noise), or the digital noise cancellation (blocks out slow moving ambient sound).. but those features sound mighty nice!
About bluespoon, I have a pb, seems really good when I make a call but impossible to use it when i receive a call, no transfer to the headset

What's a pb? With the Bluespoons, you press a button on the headset to transfer the call to it.
really doesn't work, dunno why !!!!!
If you have an advice, I'll really appreciate it
HB 35
I too Have the sony ericsson hb 35 top h/set well worth the investment

Did you try a hard reset of the Bluespoon? Also a soft reset according to the instructions in the manual? After a soft reset you'll have to recreate the bond.
Plantronics M3000 is the best one I could fine. Everyone would always tell me they couldn't hear me. The M3000 sounds very clear, connects as a Bluetooth Device and battery life is around 2 days.
Very small around the ear, no cords, or mess. I like it.
Hi guys:
I am having some real trouble with talking on the phone on my PDA2k and my ear. Every time I talk on the phone (I talk a lot!!!), I end up with a bunch of applications open because my ear is touching the screen and launching all sorts of things.
The one that is really killing me is when my ear "dials up" another number while I'm on the phone.
I know, there are ways around this via handsfree, but sometimes you gat a call while our Jabra is charging or when your wired headset is in the car or somewhere else.
My obvious question is: is there anyway to lock the screen while you speak, so the touchscreen with the ears will not happen?
Thanks for any advice.
Fernando
I think you may need new drivers for your ear.
A more expensive option is new ears (not to be mistaken for New years). This option is frowned upon and illegal in most places.
Funny.
I did find a solution in PPC Toys, which locks the screen to the touch. Works great.
Fernando
27, You just made my xmas! Keep it real bro, soooo funny
I want to use HTC Desire with Car Kit Parrot CK3200LS. The only thing stands agains this is MUTED Parrot's microphone. Pairing is quick and stable, I can hear person who I'm calling, but nobody hears me because mic is MUTED. The same story with every ROM.
Could somebody advice me where to look for solution of that problem?
What version is your Parrot CK3200LS? As Parrot CK3200LS seems to work fine for me, What roms are you using are they all with HTC sense?

Parrot's soft version is 2.12c (most recent), LeeDroid_v2.1a_A2SD, AOSPDesire_1.5.4, Neophyte_1.8, Stock FROYO, DeFrost_4.4, AuraxTSense_7.6.1. I've tried many ROM's - the same story.
What is your ROM, which works good with CK3200LS-COLOR?
I'm having a problem with the CK3100. Not every time, but quite often, when I hang up the phone, the display on the phone and on parrot indicate the call has finished but phone is still displayed in the dashboard and the radio/cd etc remains muted.
Sometimes, if I dial another number or take another call the radio will come back on but often the only sure way to unmute the radio is to durn the engine off, take the key out and wait 60 seconds before starting the car. This is quite inconvenient on the M25!
It also happened with an HTC-620 and, occasionally, an Orbit (Artemis) but never either of my Nokia phones. AVR mobiles who installed the car kit have been particularly unhelpful; their advice is to try another phone.
I wondered if anyone else has had this problem.

Exactly the same problem - not very often but you're right its damn irritating... As a workaround I've installed simple switch on the red +12v switched cable that is plugged in to the fusebox. This way I can quickly powercycle Parrot when that problem happens or turn it off when I leave car for longer periods at the airport. It shouldn't drain battery at all yet somehow it flattened my battery when I was away for 2 weeks.... and I'm sure everything is wired correctly...

Any news concerning Parrot Car Kit?
Hello, all! I'm currently using an app called Talking Clock, and love it in the morning. My only problem is that I go to bed with flat pillow speakers plugged into the headphone jack, and they're not strong enough to wake me in the morning., when Talking Clock starts announcing the time. I'm trying to find a way to force the audio from Talking Clock to always use the phone speakees, or simply to force all audio output to go through the speakers from 6:00 am to 8:00 am. I had thought that tasker might hold the solution, but if it's there, I'm not seeing it. Searching through the app store left me with no solutions, and Google didn't seem to help much either.
Everything so far has been tried on a stock note 3, but I'm upgrading to the edge tomorrow evening, so we'll say that's what I have, lol. Thanks so much, any suggestions are highly appreciated.

do you get the same thing with other alarm clocks?
Ive just noticed something strange with my phone. I had it placed flat on my desk and was looking at something with my face close to the screen and I can hear a very faint buzzing, like whwn a radio is on but the volume is turned down to zero. It seems to come on and off randomly....
The sound only happens when the phone is on a flat surface and you have to really listen out for it in a silent room.
Any idea what this is? I do have bluetooth and wifi turned on...
Happened to me last night as well.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers.
Glad im not the only one! It almost sound like the mic is being turned on and is recording! Spooky!!

When you'll hear it next time turn off DTS, touch sounds and lock sounds in sound settings and wait a few seconds.
Buzzing appears a few seconds after some sound came out of the speakers.
Anyone knows who should we contact and where to suggest a fix in the next update?

they MIGHT hacking ? or checking our phones spying that we have no idea ..
The Google now function always listens? One processor core Is always dedicated to Google now. You can disable this function. If it is not Google now I am very interested to know too. I am very against Google now do function, I do not like when the phone always listen to what you say. And the voice recognition is so good know days that they can turn it to searchable text in the other end...
Some one did mention it is Chinese. I would be more worried if it was American.

I dont know for sure but I think its the NFC chip in the phone seeking out a connection...it only seems to happen when the phone is on a surface. I could be entirely wrong of course. The thing is NFC looks like its turned off in my settings but I dont think it actually is...
