Hey every1, so i just figured out wp7 actually can read message if you turn it on it settings
The thing is, the only way when it's really useful for me - when i'm riding a bike and listening a music via headset. The thing is my headset doesn't have a microphone. When i receive a message when i'm riding - i can't say read it, i still need to pick up the phone, so maby there's a way to get rid of "read it or no" - just read it without asking(if the headphones are on)?

not possible at the moment unless MS gives us the option in the future or somebody writes an app that integrates with MS speach to allow this.
Until then have a look at this post. if you make the arm flexible and long enough and turn the phone upside down in the holder you can do exactly what you need. You could even use voice commands to manage your smartphone

With the stock ROM from T-Mo when I had my BT enabled I could answer calls with the headset and the call would be on the headset but if I answered with the phone itself the call would be on the phone. I really like this feature because occasionly my phone would be closer than my headset so I could just hit the Answer soft key and use the phone. Does anyone know of a registry setting or cab file that would allow me to do this with Core 2.0 (or any other WM6 ROM)? My workaround for right now is to answer the call on the phone and then immediately turn off hands free, but the caller hears about a second of dead air and sometimes hangs up thinking the connection was bad... plus it's generally a pain in the a$$
TIA.
my advice, if you're in that situation just turn off yer bluetooth.... other than that i know of no such registry edit. perhaps someone else would care to chime in?
Thanks for the advice. It usually happens when i have my phone on my hip and my headset in my office while i'm going to get a cup of coffee... almost always i get stopped by someone who needs some sort of tech help along the way and my 45 second trip to get a cup of coffee turns into a 25 minute trouble shooting session with because the user "didn't make any changes to the system, it just stopped working"... i'm sure we've all heard that one... anyway, thanks for the advice, i'll keep looking for a solution and will post back if i find one, just in case anyone else is interested.
you mention that's it is on your hip a thought ame to my mind... map a button to toggle bluetooth. i.e. the camera button this way your bluetooth will turn on/off at a touch of a button.
I didnt really know where to put this, but here goes anyway
I have a HTC S710 with a broken screen. Im currently using it through MyMobiler, but this is really slow and then theres a number of smaller problems with it too.
I was wondering if there was any program which means you can use the resources avaliable on my phone, sms, calls etc, through my pc. Maybe a faster program similar to mymobiler. I think it would be great if it showed a popup when there was a text or an incoming call?
I have searched and not come up with anything usefull.
also, another thing i want to know is if there is any way to make my phone turn on speakerphone automatically upon answering a call?
Thanks, Cris
There are a few diffrenet apps available, but MyMobiler is the best, especially since it's free. There is an app here as well for turning on the speaker during an incoming call as well.
Just a question though, why wouldn't get a replacement device. Seems odd to only control it through your PC.
well, i dont want to replace it simply because im a student, therefore i cant really afford it. Secondly i just like this phone, so it seems a waste to not use it at all any more when it still functions as a phone even if i cant see whos calling.

I dont suppose you have a link to this app do you?
SpeakerPhone v1.05 (cab attached) when an incoming call is received, the speakerphone of your device will automatically turn ON when you receive a call.
Here is the LINK for further info...
thanks
thank you reaper
So sweet. Jawbone now has an update for the Jawbone ICON which allows it to pair as an A2DP device. This means I can route all sound to it: music, movies, navigation, FartDroid, Robo Defense, etc.
There has never hasn't been a fix for this since the 1.5 ROMs. I'm on Fresh 2.0d
This awesome earpiece can be had for around $75 if you look hard enough.
Happy he posted... I am very happy, since I already have an ICON but didn;t know this
maybe not a big issue with people on this forum but this was a huge android issue in general. pissed a lot of people off.

Holy ****. This just cluttered up this thread.
This was a huge deal with Android and Jawbone just solved it for me.
Good to know. Knew I got my Icon for something. Thanks for the info.

Can the ICON connect to the phone and allow voice dial ? Thats one feature I miss. All the crazy advances and this is one feature that hasnt been fixed. Oh well. By the way the Q1 does the ad2p thing and also allows 8 presets that allow the unit to at least connect and call out which is handy. It also allows you to connect hands free with just your voice. Not too big of a deal if your driving but if your a biker it's a pretty awesome feature ;-)
I wonder how hard would it be to program an app to wait for the button press on a headset and set it to use the voice recognition on the phone that is used by google search/nav etc...

Maybe it was a multi phone pairing issue, but I found that the Q1 didn't reconnect automatically if I walked away from the headset with the phone or vice versa. Also didn't like that the buttons were easy to press and hence a lot of pocket headset redials...
I am very stoked with the a2dp on the icon as that's the headset i had just before being convinced by someone else that the q1 was the way to go and since having gone back to the icon
Thanks for the info, I forget that the icon is updatable and haven't checked in a while...

seeing as this is a relatively active bluetooth-related thread, i was wondering if someone could answer a q for me.
im on fresh 2.0d and whenever I tried to play anything via A2DP in my car, the audio was sped up and always skipped about every second...has anyone else experienced this? if not, could you tell me which ROM you are using so I could give it a try?
appreciate any info anyone can offer...thanks

Here's a bit of info on the Jawbone ICON website: "To encourage Google to support voice dial via Bluetooth on the Android OS, vote at Google product ideas or post a reply on Motorola's DROID forum."
I have found that the Voice Search app works a little better than the Voice Dialer app on the Hero. I just place a shortcut on my home screen. If I open the app and say, "Call Dennis at Home," it will dial home right away. Not quite "hands free" dialing, but as close as I can get for now.
Hi All I have just purchased a new nexus 5 (gear live pre-ordered) in a curious attempt to have a go at android from my Iphone 5c.
I am tweaking the handset at the moment to give me some lost functionality from IOS. I have stumbled across a really painful problem that i can not find a solution to. I use a pair of bose wired earphones to listen to music and use as hands free in the car. On my iphone, I am used to to pushing the mic button and activating the voice dial from the locked screen, all good.
When i try doing this on my nexus, i get the "can not use OK Google until the phone is unlocked" message in my ear.
I have to have a passlock on the handset due to work security restrictions.
Does anyone have a work around for this? I am hoping my new gear live will keep the pass lock when in close proximity (A major flaw otherwise - unlocking your phone before you can see anything on your smartwatch!) in the interim though, putting a pass key in the phone every time i want to make a call whilst riving is pretty poor!
currently on stock 4.4.4. not rooted yet -
Thanks all

I'll be honest and say that being able to make a call with the phone being pin locked would be a security risk. Now as for a workaround I can only think of one thing that would work but it requires some time to configure things correctly.
You could us ethe app tasker to automate this. You can set a profile for when you are in your car. When you are driving in the car (e.g. moving over 10 MPH) you can have tasker turn off your PIN Lock. Then when you get out of your car (eg not moving) it would reenable your PIN lock.
If that's too hard to configure (I can show you if you are interested in the above method) You can just set up a much simpler profile in tasker that whenever your BT headset is connected disable your PIN lock. THough this is less secure.
Those are the only options I can think of and honestly I would be surprised if anyone came up with a true solution to this
I have posted a similar post in the CRV Owners forum, but I thought this forum would make more sense since it's filled with a bunch of hardware-hacking programmers!
The interface between my car and my phone (LG G2 Lollipop stock) is abysmal. I have seen a number of posts on the web about this issue with modern cars, but no real solutions. The following is a list of what I would like the interface to be between the phone and car. Then at the end of the email I'll flame a little about the "why"s.
GIve me a button to allow me to talk to my phone directly without the HondaLink getting in the way. There was a similar issue with a Volkswagon and a solution using Tasker to intercept the call. That solution doesn't work with my Honda and is a kludge.
Always have the phone interrupt the radio (whether it's a call or audio, e.g. Google maps navigation). For me, the information coming from the phone will always be more important than the music or talk show on the radio.
Mirror the phone screen onto the car screen when I'm driving (so I can see my map when I need to)
When I receive a call, let the phone do the talking (the phone can speak the caller's name to me and can send the caller's name over the bluetooth connection) and let me hit a button to answer it.
Has anyone successfully hacked into the firmware/software in the CV-R to fix these issues? Is it possible? At this point, based on my research, I see no other option. If there is another option that doesn't involve replacing the system or "just dealing with it," I'd love to hear it.
The "why"s:
My phone is custimizable, has all of my contacts, recognizes my voice, has GPS, accurate and up-to-date maps, and does everything that I need a phone and navigation system to do. The Honda solution tries to duplicate all of that functionality and does it very poorly. As one user wrote last year, my $50 bluetooth headset can listen to my phone and pipe in navigation directions and let me know when I get a call. It is a joke that an expensive car can't even get that part right. The fact that I can't put my phone screen on the car screen while I'm driving is idiotic. Now I've got to find some way to hold my phone up for navigation. I don't want this post to degenerate into a series of posts and counter-posts on whether drivers can handle the increased cognitive demand. I've been driving long enough to see that the majority of drivers are not paying any attention at all to the road anyway and no one seems to care.
The hardware in the CR-V seems to be capable of doing the things that I have listed above. So, if the Honda programmers can't get it the way I want it, the only solution is to take the programming away from them and do it ourselves. Has anyone done this yet?
Thank you in advance for your help.
