Hi,
I'm thinking about buying a bluetooth headset (like Jabra BT3030) and I'd like to know if there is the possibility to handle caller id (es. a voice that tells you in the headset the caller ID) with all the headset that don't have a display. This because having a wireless bt headset and still having to get the phone from the bag is a big issue if you bought it because it's wireless...
thanks
My I-tech Clip Radio and car stereo both work over bluetooth and display the caller id so I don't see why any other decent bluetooth headset shouldn't be able to display the caller id.
The only thing I've not been able to display is id3 tags over bluetooth.
My doubt was about headset without display
I don't know, but MS voice commander might do this over BT. It will certainly announce callers names if they are in your contacts so it might announce the number.
I've never tried it over BT, have a look - maybe it will do what you need.
MSVC when working properly does announce who is calling, also reads your sms's and announces appointments, emails via bluetooth.

it has been discussed before but I still can't get it.
I do have sound via bluetooth in my car when answering a call or initiating a new one.
but I can't hear anything from the phone applications like navigation or musicplayer.
how can I change that?
It has nothing to do with the bluetooth kit in my car as a blackberry worked seamlessly with playing music via BT. Even my old HP ipaq 514 also made sound announcements through BT.
Any settings to adjust?
You must change a bluetooth-setting.
- Comm Manager
- Settings (right button)
- 2 Bluetooth
- 1 Bluetooth
- select your BT car-stereo from the list (don't click)
- Menu (right button)
- 4 ... wireless stereo ... (don't know the English name, in Dutch "Als draadloos stereo instellen")
In my experience, each time you reconnect the device, you have to do this again because it automatically resets to the handsfree setting.
thanks! sounds promising.
but it doesn#t work as expected. the phone is either a BT headset or a BT stereo. not booth at once. hmmm not sooo good
Ok but this will only work if the car supports A2DP, correct? Because I have a BMW and when it is connected that option is not there. The BMW bluetooth module supports just headset profile.
But if I use a normal bluetooth headset I can actually get regular audio out of it some times. The car strictly works with phone calls. Perhaps sometimes audio is sent to it but ignored, I mean it can transfer phone numbers (dial in car screen), phone book so of course it should know how to tell if it is in a call or not?
the features you describe are part of the rSAP bluetooth profile, where actually the car is the phone and only borrows its identity from the phone. totally different story.
so if you do a call actually the car holds the connection to the network. Your phone is only involved as kind of remote sim-card reader.
I have the Nokia HS-12W bluetooth headset which has a lcd sceen and it works fine with the HTC HD as a headset for the calls and music
it shows the phone number that calls me but it doesn't show the caller's name
is there a way to make the caller id function work ?
i have one of this too, anyone have any clue? tanks.
I don't know if it exists but...
When I have my bluetooth headset on and my phone is ringing, I can't understand who is calling (if my phone is in my BIG bag)...
Does exist an app for changing tone with a Bluetooth headset connected, that ring in my ear with the name? I mean, like old Nokia metallic voice
Thank you!!!
I don't know whether it will work only when a BT headset is connected, and not at other times, but, there are a lot of apps on the market that can read out the contacts name. (Another missing feature on Android, that was there in all Nokia's...)

Car stereo has bluetooth. I finally hooked up a microphone so it's usable in the car for making calls. When I place a call everything works fine, but when I receive a call I can't hear the caller, although they can hear me fine.
Anyone else experience this and find a fix?
Running the latest official AT&T release with no modifications.
Yes, I keep finding this myself and I have discovered the "problem" and solution
Basically, any incoming calls default to handset speaker and you have to manually tap "bluetooth" to transfer the call to the headset/handsfree. When making outgoing calls, it defaults to Bluetooth from the offset so no problem!
What I do not know, however, is how to force it to default to Bluetooth on incoming call...
I have not seen that issue and I use BT in my car a lot. BB351
Something else that could be the case: Are you listening to music through A2DP bluetooth at the time that the call comes in? It's possible that the transition from A2DP to headset protocol is what is "blocking" the call from going straight to the handsfree?
chaosdefinesorder is correct, you could have a misbehaving music app (or any other app with audio over bluetooth, such as navigation).
I know that PowerAmp and Playerpro both work well with bluetooth with the music stopping when a call comes in.
I was listening to FM radio at the time. When the call ends it always go back to whatever I was listening to.
So next time I should tap the phone button on the radio instead of sliding the button on the phone, apparently.

This was it. I have to answer the head unit, not the phone.
Operator error.
I don't know if you ever noticed, but LG is the only manufacturer that has a Bluetooth stack implemented, which allows multiple Bluetooth connections of the same profile simultaneously:
Having a build in hands free in my car which supports HFP and a TomTom navigation which has a handsfree that also supports HFP, all devices are connected at the same time and when the call comes in, all devices will ring and when I answer the call with my car, the call status is displayed on my TomTom. I can end the call on my TomTom or initiate a new call which will then work on my car's handsfree.
This only works on LG. I noticed this on my V10 and bought G6 because of this, too.
So far, neither Sony nor Huawei is able to handle this simultaneously: when TomTom connects, Sony and Honor get disconne from my car's HFP and vice versa.
Thumbs up for LG.
