1.The problem
Owned a C902-I changed,bought Xperia Ray. In the car Sony HCB 400 handsfree installed. It worked with the old mobile and not working with the new. The main problem is that I cant record my voice commands VoiceSpeedDial-no default possibility for voice dialing in the NEW Sony mobiles why? - HCB doesnt send my command via bluetooth, mobile has to "hear" it and its microphone too sensitive. HCBfirmware? Bluetotth version? ROM? Please help.
2. My mail to Cyberon
Dear Cyberon,
it's a very good app, Ithink the only what works as the usual ones on older phones.
One question (and problem), because I can't use it till this problem exists.
1. If I record a voice dial command for a phone book entry this app uses my phone's microphone instead of my handsfree kit's microphone (as the old phones).
2. If I initialize a voice calling with the handsfree's button (connected bluetooth certainly) my phone has to 'hear' the command instead of my handsfree's microphone (usual at the old one(s)).
I tried it with other phone (and other program), with my old phone (with the default possibility built in the older phones) and it worked, the handsfree's microphone sent my voice command to the phone and that is called for me who I wanted.
My new phone can't hear my voice command via bluetooth connected handsfree's microphone.
Is this possible to say in your program that if a handsfree connected your program has to use that microphone instead of the phones one?
I would like to try a beta version, think it would be great for other Sony users as well.
(Other question: with the new android (at the end of March) your app will work same as now or conceivable that will work fine?)
(old phone is Sony C902, new one is a Xperia Ray, the handsfree is a Sony HCB 400, bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP, EDR, the app is Voice Speed Dial (most similar to the old (default) program (I like it for this reason, it's language independent)).
best regards
3. An answer from the cyberon
Thanks for your inquiry!
Regarding to your questions, Voice Speed Dial did support the handsfree function, however, we found out that the ROM which built by Sony Ericsson had been changed, the audio driver in Sony Ericsson's phone could not switch to the right audio path that Voice Speed Dial uses, and Voice Speed Dial just follows the official Android system to work on Android phones, since Sony Ericsson did not follow the official Android system to develop their ROM, we may not able to change the system at this moment, hope Sony Ericsson would fix the issue in the future.
If you downloaded the application and feel the problem is annoying, please feel free to offer your Gmail address or your Google Account to us, we will full refund you!
If you have further questions, please feel free to tell us, we will try our best to help you out!

The answer from Cyberon for bluetooth problem with Xperia Ray and Sony HCB
400.
If you say they are not compatible - what handsfree (and program) is
compatible with Xperia Ray? Or - why don't you correct your mistake with
this ROM?
Regarding to your questions, Voice Speed Dial did support the handsfree
function, however, we found out that the ROM which built by Sony Ericsson
had been changed, the audio driver in Sony Ericsson's phone could not
switch to the right audio path that Voice Speed Dial uses, and Voice Speed
Dial just follows the official Android system to work on Android phones,
since Sony Ericsson did not follow the official Android system to develop
their ROM, we may not able to change the system at this moment, hope Sony
Ericsson would fix the issue in the future.
Dear(Sony support)!
Xperia Ray - HCB 400
So Sony is the answer that I'm not normal because I bought a newer Sony phone (which my question was told that it is activate voice voice call options, spot because Sony, in my sleep not thinking that they will not cooperate), not I looked at the Sony 400 Speakerphone HCB's compatibility list (where, incidentally, also?) and I assumed that Sony does not produce szarabb phone than the previous model (yes, in many ways). I never bought into that Sony is a great company (it's Sony, as we know) that the exhaustion of regret and supported my view, the discovery of errors. Of course it is much easier than trying to solve the problem, may offer some opportunity to change (say, a discount). By the way, for what? For the same parameters of loudspeaker (Sony) has not (to the HCB 108 rádiónémítós? Nice?), You would be kiszereltetni the old one, removed and installed by a new one (which of course again not sure that could cooperate with Sony screwed up firmwarejével. Or could be replaced by the manufacturer of the phone (we say wasted), or an older Sony, which has worked, or a different type (we are again not sure that can work together. Otherwise, Google play any application is not, that could work bridged by Sony and which is not a problem of this type of microphone can be adjusted (at least as much noise is driving to work - of course this is just maybe, if you have the normal and customary manner is not able to do so).
Congratulations. It's a Sony. Make believe.
Our motto is, here is the explanation for Cyber:
Regarding to your questions, Voice Speed Dial did support the handsfree function, however, we found out hurt the ROM Which built by Sony Ericsson military Been changed, the audio driver in Sony Ericsson's phone Could not switch to the right audio path harm Voice Speed Dial uses, and Voice Speed Dial just follows the official Android system to work on Android phones, since Sony Ericsson did not follow the official Android to Develop Their system ROM, we may not Able to change the system at this moment, hope Sony Ericsson Would a fixed the issue in the future.
We also regret the developers I'm curious, I guess in his opinion, this will also help them to run out.

I have recently purchase a SONY DR-BT20NX stereo wireless headset that is SUPPOSED to work as a hands free head set too. It's not behaving and wondered the following:
Does anyone run one of these and can advise?
Are there know problems with BT Stereo headsets on the Trinity that require tweeks?
It seems to be OK when playing music but when set as a hands free unit the phone will not ring, it will only sound in the earphones. It will not respond to an INCOMMING call only an outgoing one. NONE of the advance functions work when making or taking a call so I have to use the buttons on the PDA!
When used as a stereo headset it does seem to stop start and pause music ok from the button on the headset, and even skip to the next track. But as mentioned, NO functions work from the button on the BT headset when a using the phone, let alone the advance functions the thing is supposed to offer.
This is the second unit I've tried as I returned the first one to the supplier as I thought it was faulty as it was do too many stupid things.
Thoughts chaps...?
Sorry not much help with your specific model but I can report that the Trinity works well with the SonyEricsson HBH-DS970 both for audio and to manage phone calls. All buttons work properly.
Are you sure your model supports the Handsfree BT profile? I thought all phones and phone accessories were part of the SonyEricsson joint venture portfolio and Sony would not produce phone accessories under its own brand.
Read this, Sony BT20NX worked seamlessly (both A2DP and AVRCP) on Wizard :

@Anonimo
I did think the same way you are, until i see it myself on a store shelves... I really don't understand why either...
Anyway both DS970 and BT20NX have necklace design... or you may called it "gene"

I tried this in one of the stores and found that it was NOT working properly with my Trinity (WM6 Rom). It was skipping horribly. Gave up after 5mins of trying. The square design of the center piece makes it looks like it came from the 90s.
Anyway, I tried the http://www.itechdynamic.com/en/products_spec.asp?cid=2&pid=02050 I-Clip Radio and it worked out of the box (Flawlessly). Even the Cyberion Voice commander (for handsfree dialing through wireless bluetooth) works beautifully. Bought it after 10mins of trying, used it for 5 days now ... no regrets! It comes with a 3.5mm audio socket so you can pair it to your favourite Sony EX headphone or the over priced Shure headphone. Sound quality is unbelievable. Try it ...
Just wondering if MIZZO1628 eventually got Trinity working with the Sony DR-BT20NX earphones? I really like the look of these, and am willing to do some reg hacking if necessary - but not if its going to be a dead end...
I also have the Sony BT headphones, and they have always been a problem with every rom (HTC Wizard included) that I have used.
I nearly always must edit the registry to listen to music, and the phone call function only works for outgoing calls.
I should have known better than to buy something with 'Sony' on it, but there was a recommendation elsewhere in this forum.
I have a SonyEricsson HCB-150 bluetooth carkit in use with my G1. The carkit has a special function with text to speech. So it can speak the name out when somebody calls and it can also access your phonebook of your mobile. The phonebook-function is compatible with most of the new Sony Ericssons. I tried it with a Samsung I900 and it works also, but with my G1 it doesn't work.
So my question is, can someone modify or is it possible to change some settings that I can use it with my G1.
Thanks in advance!!
Your bluetooth carkit is probably using something other than just the basic handset/headset protocall. Since bluetooth on the G1 is extremely basic right now you will have to wait till they get the other protocalls coded (A2DP, etc.).

I'm in the same situation - the bluetooth will pair and momentarily connect with my bluetooth carkit - then it shows "loading..." on my car - then immediately disconnects.
If you get a fix on this - I'd appreciate knowing what it is too. thanks!
In my brand new HTC Desire I found an essential problem when trying to broadcast seminars to Bambuser or Ustream.
THE BLUETOOTH MICROPHONE DOESN'T WORK - and the phone's mic gives too little volume from 5-10 m distance. I never have has that kind of stupid problem with my Nokia 5800 or even with the old Communicator.
I've tried to find some pluetooth widget or app to open the mic line for video streaming. I've looked for solution from Bambuser. And I've contacted HTC.
But this seems to be a challenge of the Android 2.2 developers.
Ofcourse I can skip my new Desire and go back to Nokia. Their N8 has a fantastic camera and the Bluetooth mic works as always.
But I think Android developers are interested in all those millions of mobile broadcasters:
Please give them (and me!) the bluetooth voice and get their voice!
Inspiring Interactivity!

Have anyone used that with i9000 ?
Does the caller ID works ? does it display the name from the phonebook ?
i do have it, but no support for caller-id or mp3 tag with the current bluetooth drivers...
I read somewhere that in order for a BT device to display full caller-id info (name of the caller etc) it is required that all that information (in other words the Contacts from your phone and/or SIM card) must be also resident in the BT device (headset, carkit, etc.) that is why very few such accessories do it. They just relay the number of the caller to their own screen (I suppose they get it in realtime when the incoming call rings).
Further on the topic of the MW600, since I was thinking of buying it myself, I read some user reviews from Amazon that made me change my mind:
1. It does not store radio stations. You must manually tune in to the station you want, each time.
2. Although it is multipoint, a user reported that when a call comes through, you must manually select the phone before answering (!).
3. The volume adjust is performed by a swype-type gesture (not buttons) and
this could be awkward.
Again, I don't have it, haven't tried it, just what others say about it.
Go on and buy it, for that price it's great
I have used the MW600 with my SGS for a couple of months now, and am very happy with it. It's a very nice and small device, and the sound quality is quite good. It works great as a hands-free despite the display limitations. I don't use the radio part, tested it a couple of times and it seems to work but isn't very comfortable.
The MW600 is great with music also but I mainly listen to audiobooks while walking/working in the garden/etc. When I want to really enjoy music I plug in my pair of Ultimate Ears 700 (straight to the phone naturally . I use a cheaper headset with the MW600.
The sound adjustment is a bit tricky at first but it works ok. The headset that ships with the MW600 is surprisingly good, but of course you can use any 3.5 mm plug headset with it.
In the how-to videos for the SGS8, it shows the guy connecting to two bluetooth speakers at once and then going to the menu to start the dual audio. When I connect to a BT speaker and then try to connect to another, it disconnects the first one. If I have one of my speakers connected and connect my sony BT alarm clock, it will only connect to that for calls. If I check the box for it to connect to media, it drops the connection to the speaker again.
I don't have a whole lot of ways to test this, but I couldn't find any documentation about it either. We have BT5 and more protocols than the SGS8, so where is this feature?

Your devices (Speakers in this case) must all be BT5.0 compliant. Right now there are not many devices out with BT5.0 specifications.

That's what I thought initially, but it isn't true as the galaxy s8 does it with very very old BT speakers. Seems this phone doesn't have multi A2DP for some reason. Maybe something they can add to the BT driver in software updates...

Should be better
Xperia. I can understand if it's something complex like transferring files to 2 devices. But if it's only hearing to 2 different sets of speakers, that is simpler.
Anyway, B&O has pairing capability in their series of speakers. I have 2ea A2 Active, and they work marvelously.
If Sony can do this to the Xperia XZ Premium, I am confident they don't have to reduce the price to compete with the market.
Don't get me wrong, as I am replying to this thread using the G8142. Also, kudos to them on having the 835, since it supports DSD256 natively.
Go to the system settings into the developer settings and change the number of maximum bluetooth devices from 1 to anything else.

Actually you can connect several devices using this setting. But you can't send audio to two or more of them simultaneously. In this case you'll have an option in audio settings to choose an output device (only one) or 'this device' which is smartphone itself. Tested it on G8441.
Edit: also there is another problem: audio focus can switch to newly automatically connected device without prompt
