Does the WM 2005 bluetooth work properly with handsfree profile or is it like 2003 and only work with head set profile :?:
Thanks
Jon
Works perfectly with my MR Handsfree headset. Until now I could not get it working in handsfree mode. With WM2005 it is working.
Own an AUDI with the factory installed Bluetooth handsfree kit and I have never been able to pair the XDAii with it so that it works properly - incredibly unstable and never could get to work completely... been lurking this forum and others and tried lots of solutions... upgraded the OS to WM5 today and first time paired and works perfectly - even displays caller ID on the Audi instrumentation!!! Most pleased - now if only I can get the o2 GPRS connection to work
Did notice the following problems with the Bluetooth
- Com ports not recognised - seemed to have something to do with the pairing... simple reset after pairing with Audi would then allow com port assigned to BT GPS (not fully tested yet)
- Multiple pairing - device seems to want to pair more than once not sure about this one but who cares it works now

I have Ericsson's HBH-65 and WM2005 uses it as Headset only. It doesn't even call-back when I press headset button :-(((((((
Motorola HS-850...
I have a Motorola HS-850 and it works perfectly with WM2005 in Handsfree mode.
Now if I can just get it to voicedial via bluetooth...
Jabra BT250 here and Handsfree works great!!!
WM2005 is the only OS that I have had where my Jabra does what i want it to do.
Craig.
The crux is can you activate your phone through your BT headset to call any number?
No good in a BMW
I loaded 2005 and tried to pair it with my BMW, although the pairing went well and the hands free profile was selected, its no better than Sins 2003 rom.
The microphone in the car doesnt work, the speakers do. The microphone on the phone is the active one. It wont connect a call unless you try twice and you have to answer call twice before they connect.

In the devices list, tap and hold the car kit, and select handsfree, see if this helps.
Voice dialling
The thing I find most surprising with WM2005 (and the previous versions for PPC) is the lack of hands free/car kit voice dialling. That is one thing the P910 has over WM2005 phones that emphasises that full convergence has not happened in the mind of developers... the PPC is a PDA with phone connectivity, whereas the Symbian system has taken the approach that its a phone first and foremost. With the simple addition of hands free voice dialling, WM2005 could be the first really convergent OS.
(I'm kinda hoping someone will say they have a perfect voice-dialling system in place for the XDAII with WM2005, in which case I'll gladly eat my words)
I am still very grateful for ALL those here who have helped deliver three OS upgrades to my XDA in the space of 18 months!!!
Some people are using Microsoft Voice command with Magneto and they reported it to work well.
Cheers
Pat

ditto with Merc 2003 E class.
same old problem with handsfree
i also have the Motorolla HS850 and though it did work for a while it seems to be back to mic and speaker working on the device and only speaker on the headset!
so though you can hear the call on the headset the mic dosn't work but the mic on the device is active as is the speaker
has anyone else had this with 2005?
have hard reset and re loaded 2005 but without success
hmm its working again.....
this is wierd!
headset battery was low yesterday so it may be to do with that. will keep checking and see if i can spot a pattern
Hello everybody,
I'am looking for a new car radio with bluetooth for a bmw e46. It must support following features:
1. Bluetooth integrated in radio, no addional box and fit into bmw slot
2. hands-free set
3. Select and play (over radio) audio files from mobile phone SD card
4. Voice dial without prerecorded audio sample (in windows mobile) over car radio
Anybody a suggestion for a car radio that supports all that features ?
I don't know if it will support windows mobile phones, but supports ipod over bluetooth
Wireless connection with compatible devices provides hands-free calls, voice recognition dialing, audio streaming, and SMS message receipt notification. With AA-T100BT Bluetooth® transmitter, you can also stream music from your iPod.

Hi, if you want to keep you embeded radio system, you can add a module as ones devlopped by Parrot or IO.
I have the following system, working perfectly with my Touch HD
http://www.my-io.com/Products/iOPLAY.aspx
regards
I have one of these
http://www.ciao.co.uk/Sony_MEX_BT2600__6846323
works a treat - audio can be played from SD card through manilla or wmp with no problems - you can even skip tracks using the stereo whilst tomtom is on your screen and everything performs great. Audio is paused when a call comes in and resumes when the call ends.
The only drawback for me is there is no visual feedback on the player such as track name or callers name etc... but dont know if this is even possible.
parrot mki9100 or mki 9200
check out these products. plenty of videos on youtube
and getting mine fitted today £177 includes kit, bmw lead (1series) and installation at my house.
great kit does averything you want and more. includes an amp to better the bmw system. has sd/ipod usb connectors plus bluetooth music streaming and obviously the phone kit
my advice connectmycar.co.uk
its a carphonewarehouse company. cheapest around
Motorola T505
I have T505 and its exelent for car, home, picnic etc.
stremeng music and calls to your car stereo(A2DP BT) via the built-in Digital FM transmitter.
And good thinks is location (long battery life 5-6 days) in car -microfon is near.
Hear the number of the person calling

look for pioneers car-stereo with inbedded bluetooth
I have just installed a pioneer FH-P80BT Double Din and its is the bees knees.
It will do all you ask but i have not quite figured out how to do the Voice activated Dialing yet. Not sure if it will work with MSVC.
It auto downloads your phone book and you can dial from the Stereo itself.
You can also connect a laptop hard drive as the USB supports true 5v line.
Here is a link Clicky
Would be happy to answer any questions

hey nogs,
got the same in my new shape passat
i'd be careful about recommending it for use with portable HDD's though 0 it couldnt give enough juice to power up my WD Passport - but have to agree its a great headunit to pair up with the touch HD.
I use it to charge my device - just remember to use activesync mode just for charging otherwise you can't use your memory card for things like tom tom.

I've got a JVC KD-BT22 + a JVC DAB unit + an external 300GB HD (you could use a USB key instead or it has line in)
The JVC unit starts playing music from my Touch HD as I get into the car although having an external USB hardisk full of around 30gb's of music means I don't really need it.
It also works as a hands free (voice via the speakers, etc) the voice quality isn't brilliant on the unit as it doesn't use an external mic although I've read of some tweaks to make it better.

Ah right.... I have read on the MkiV Golf Forum it gives enough Juice so i was only going from what others have said.... I will be trying myself next week. According to the guys there, it only supports upto 250Gb and needs to be formatted FAT32.
I'll be opting for the 160Gb version myself.
Also... have you managed to activate MSVC via the long press of the Esc--Band button ?
PS- schranzistor - sorry to hijack this thread.
Nogs
ah! I don't think my drive was formatted to FAT32 (probably NTFS) which is why it didn't pick it up- dunno to be honest as I wasnt really that bothered having my HD with all its music on Also I had swapped out my internal 250GB WD drive with my PS3's standard 40Gb drive - maybe why it was supping a bit more juice than a standard WD one....
It was however making the infamous clicking sound you get when a drive doesnt have enough power to it - I might try it again later at some point when I have more than 2Gb of stuff I need access to in my car
I'm sure I tried that MSVC thing with Duttys 1.7 ROM a while back and it didnt work - I've got his 2.1 Xtreme ROM now so will give it another try tommorow morning.
It's a great headunit but I find it a bit plasticy for my liking (my fault for selling my Pioneer reference system I suppose!) - Button presses feel cheap and that front screen attracts dust quicker than my PC at home!

Okay this is what I've been wondering...is there anyway to use an Android phone as a bluetooth headset for the Galaxy Tab (or any Android tablet for that matter)? im planning on getting T-Mobile's prepaid Android 2.2 phone and i want to keep my minute usage down by using Google Voice on the tablet. And since they both have bluetooth capabilities it should be possible to use it in this manner, right? I do not want to use one of those hideous, uncomfortable bluetooth headsets because im already going to have a bluetooth device (the phone) with me that im more comfortable using. Is there any way to do this or an app that enables this functionality?
Isn't that like call forwarding or something?
no because your not forwarding your calls, your handling the call over bluetooth. this is what im talking about: people will call my tablet's Google Voice number, and I will be able to use my phone as a bluetooth headset for the tablet to take the call
its the same concept as bluetooth headsets today:
-you get a bluetooth headset
-you pair the headset with your phone
-you take calls on your phone but talk and listen through your bluetooth headset
the way im trying to do this is:
-you get a bluetooth-capable phone
-you pair the phone with your tablet
-you take calls on your tablet but talk and listen through your bluetooth phone
since the phone already has everything that a bluetooth headset has--microphone, earpiece, bluetooth radio-- it should be able to pair with the tablet and work in the same manner as a regular bluetooth headset
yes!
Im looking thos for months my friend. But no one seems to know anything. We are talkin for clever and serius programming so it is not so easy to find sonething.
Profile
I have been looking to do the same thing with my Samsung tab. Instead of walking around stucked to my face.
Yes I could use a BT headset, but it won't dial out. There is a specific Bluetooth profile to do this.
i don't know much about this, but wouldn't the phone would need the bluetooth protocol that a headset uses? someone would have to make a program that would allow the phone to be used as a headset, but then also decide what gets priority if the phone needs to also access the mic or earpiece when you are on a call...
i don't mind simply using a bluetooth - that is more comfortable and flexible than me holding a phone in one hand.
I am seekung solution too.
I'm looking for a solution to this as well. But a different application.
using a tablet as a car-computer.
leave phone in pocket. take and view phone calls though tablet, which is mounted to dash, which is routed to the car audio system with strategically placed microphone built into dash.
I'm surprised no one has made this... seems like something many would be after.
looking for the same here :-(
I want to buy a cheap tablet to leave in the car and use as a gps.
I'd like it to being able to be connected to my phone and work as a bluetooth hands free of sorts.
anyone has 2 android devices to try and connected and see what happens?
Me too - so i'm posting here to show that there is really demand for solution

The Phone app apk is there but it doesn't work Honeycomb, Google Voice also FCs. I think it's because Google knows it would take away from the Android Phones and that would piss off the carriers.
Why should it take people away from carriers? Me want to use my communicator as phone №2, so i could not take from my pocket the first one.

Because you could Google Voice, Skype, etc for a lot cheaper than a carrier.
same same, would be great solution to using tab as a phone
What we are seeking is the Bluetooth HFP (Hands-Free Protocol) (ver. 1.5) HF Profile. Many newer OEM car head-units support the HFP hands-free (HF) mode while most all Android devices and tablets support the audio gateway (AG) mode only.
I am not a developer but I would suspect that getting the AG portion of HFP to work would require changes to the BT drivers. If anyone has the HF mode working on an Android device, please chime in!

Do any devs have ideas? This would make tons of tablet owners happy. In an ideal world, we would be able to keep an Android phone in our pocket, and send/receive texts on the tablet through our phone carrier, as well as make and receive calls using our tablets as a Bluetooth speaker phone. This marriage of tablet to phone would be awesome, and generate a lot of money and interest in the app market.
Does anyone know if there has been any progress on using a phone as a bluetooth headset for a tablet? I am trying to figure out how to do this with a samsung galaxy gio and a samsung galaxy tab 7.

This is the exact solution I am looking for! Come on developers of the world, how hard can it be!
So is the problem with this that Android doesn't support the necessary profiles in its bluetooth stack? Is there any way to add the profiles ourselves?
It would be nice if a developer would look into this.
Has anyone had a problem with connecting the 920 to a car kit?
I've got a Vauxhall (GM) Insignia with the built in car kit. The 920 will connect to the car and the phone book and call lists will sync, however, when I try to make a call I get a message on the screen saying "Dialing Failed". I can make calls from the phone and they will go through the BT car kit. Same if I receive a call I can use the buttons on the steeringwheel to answer the call.
I did have a HTC HD2 with Winphone 7.5 and that worked flawlessly with the car kit, but this isn't so happy. Anyone got any suggestions?
As an aside, how do you change the name of the Phone so it doesn't just appear as "Windows Phone"?
Thanks

Use the Windows Phone App in Win8 to change the name. Maybe uss the Market (on a desktop browser, log in) to change the name - forgot if that's an option.
As far as cars go, every bluetooth phone I've had has been hit or miss - even the iPhone 4 I had worked, didn't work, then worked again at various versions of iOS on my Nissan.
I have a GM (Traverse) and it seems to like both my HTC Titan 7.5 and my Lumia 920 - the bluetooth stack in WP8 is different than the one used in WP7.5, apparently that's causing you issues.
Can you initiate voice calling from the steering wheel hands free? I can do that in my GM but not in my Nissan - if you can then you don't need the address book to sync.

Name: Yeah, worked that one out after I posted the message, thanks anyway
No, using the voice control doesn't work, the Dialing Failed message. Lets hope the first update may help
I can't even connect to the BT Kit in my Ford Focus. When I hit connect, the car doesn't show the PIN to connect as it should. The car kit works with HTC One X and iPhone 4s as expected. Read somewhere, that some BT protocols are missing in WP8. Rumours say, that this might get fixed with the next bigger update for WP in Q1 13. Let's hope it.

Had the same issue with my 2012 Ford Ranger, eventually got it working by doing the following:
When you pair your Lumia with your car, enter any PIN on your Lumia even if your car doesnt give you a pin. Once you enter a PIN on your Lumia and hit enter your car should provide you with the correct PIN to enter, then just enter the provided PIN and it should work.
Dears, why WP8 bluetooth currently does not support SIM Access Profile (SAP, SIM, rSAP) for handsfree cars?!..
This is the issue that Microsoft needs to explain -> why in WP8, SAP does not get supported.
This is basic functionality that worked natively in previous Microsoft phone/mobile versions and made many of users like me to continue with MS OS and not moving to Android OS or iOS. Why am I so acid? Because I use my car handsfree a lot and now I need to pick up my Lumia 920 and operate directly the phone. The result is that my car handsfree in now reduced to a headset. My wife has the same issue with a Nokia Lumia 820.
With Android (v4.1.1) and a 6" screen chinese dual sim phone ($US 180!! sent to my home), I have better results!! I keep asking myself why I continue to insist with Microsoft....
Guess what? Just installed the latest WP8 upgrade and nothing, the bluetooth issues remain.
Any idea on the date for the new update release?
I have no trouble with bluetooth and my car, my 920 integrates perfectly with it, I see all my contacts and call log, I can press a button and tell it to call a number or contact. After the update yesterday. It even read out a sms I received while I was driving, then I was asked if I wanted to reply to it and successfully replied.
I don't know what more that you would want?
Perhaps your car's bluetooth needs to be upgraded to work with the latest phones?
Hi Peter56, then you're a lucky person!
I invite you to visit the WindowsPhone.com forum and have a quick look at the bluetooth section. You will find hundreds of complains from users like you and me where the WP8 OS is unable to sync contacts, phone lists (received calls), ...etc.
I have an Audi A6 (2007) and Audi already announced that won't upgrade their system because it works fine with all other OS's.
The car costed €70k+ and the phone €600, so it's easy what will be dropped off....
rSAP is not supported in most newer Smartphones (I believe the exception currently is Samsung) because it is using a GSM receiver installed directly in the car which means the Radio in the phone turns off. This disables all data connections on the Phone.
I guess unless the rSAP profile is extended to support data connections this situation won't change anytime soon.

Hands free calling over BT works for me in GM, Toyota, Hyundi, and Nissan cars.
The HFP is the one needed for Hands Free use in a Car. This is the profile every phone supports.
rSAP is fairly uncommon, one would say rare, so not supporting it is hardly a deal killer for WP8. For example, the iPhone also doesn't support rSAP, and other than a few Audi owners, no one else seems to care.
Well, after the update provided by Microsoft (8.0.10211.204), my issues with BT are gone. I have again a handsfree system instead of a headset. I can sync calls lists and phone books.
My Nokia Lumia 920 is now able to deal with my business life. Have fun!
