Hi,
I bought a Jawbone ICON and it is not bad.
However the Jawbone software does not read out the names from the contacts of the incoming call. It just reads out the actual phone number, which is pretty pointless, unless one has a fantastic memory. I have circa 700 entries in my phone book.
Does anyone know of a method to have the contracts names read out over the BT headset?
This is for an SGS i9100 running CM7/Insanity. TTS is installed and works well.
Regards.

I successfully paired Cingular8525 with Acura 2007 HandsFreeLink. But after it report successfull pairing, I can not use it. It saying phone not found. I use same phone before with PArot system without any problem.
If you go to Acura web site they report 8125 will not support call waiting and data link, but will support basic phone functions. But it does not work for me. Does anyone succesfully paired 8525 with Acura HandsFreeLink? Is 8525 better then 8125 in list of futures supported by acura?
Thanks
I successfully use the 8525 with my Acura TL's Bluetooth. (Previously used an 8125). It works, but occasionally it will drop the Bluetooth connection. This seems to be a known issue with Bluetooth on the 8525.
BTW To get battery level and signal strength meter on the Acura, you need to get the following program:

I have the same problem with my 2005 BMW 545i. Only stays connected when I leave the screen on. If I hybernate it, I lose bluetooth connection. The Jetware program did not seem to help.
sign up for the jetware beta -- might help
my TL also randomly drops the connection as well.
Question, when you answer an incoming call, does the HFL beep twice? Mine does, and the people on the other line can hear the second beep....
Oh well, just live with it I guess....
Bluetooth Acura paudible Tone problem
Yes, I also get dropped more than occasionally in the Acura bluetooth connection. Any fixes? Another Acura problem for me is that when audible tones are created to SEND tone data replies ( " hit 7 to disconnect"), the last tone in teh sudible series sticks and hangs on for 10 seconds or so. The tone message is sent and recieved, so the call actions continue in the background to the tone. Cingular says hardware and send back phone. Any alternative ideas ,or does everyone else have tone work ok?

this actually worked for me, however, the drain on the battery is siginificant, so if you can live with that, I have gone two weeks now without a dropped call....

Hi everybody.
Recently I've purchased a new HTC Hero. Everything is working fine and this gadget is by far the better mobile+PDA i've used.
OK, now the question.
I've paired the device with my bluetooth car handsfree (Toyota Prius) and although everything works fine (I can call and receive calls and both battery and coverage meter display OK) caller id is not working. So when I receive a call, instead of displaying call number or name in handsfree, it gives and error (something like "Unable to display").
Does anybody have the same problem?
This happens both with official 2.73 upgrade and modaco 2.2 (2.73 based).
Thanks in advance.
Just upgraded from Tilt/Jawbone2 (lost the jawbone) to Tilt2/Jawbone Icon.
First Issue: Voice dial seems to work until I get to the notification but then my 'Yes' does not dial.
Second Issue: Incoming call notification is set to BT only but the Icon does caller ID by number and the name announcement is coming through my phone speaker.
Any help would be great.
I have the ICON and I don't have those issues, that's really odd. It must be related to your ROM.
Jawbone Icon
I just ordered an Icon, but haven't received it yet.
I'm using the latest Energy ROM, and it has allowed me to use the Bluetooth handsfree features of my Plantronics 590 Stereo Headset and my old original Jawbone just fine.
I sure hope my Icon will work? I agree that it is probably the ROM software, because the original T-Mobile stock ROM wouldn't allow any handsfree features from either of my Bluetooth devices.
I did some of the stuff on the site here to reduce the RAM usage and that helped the confirmation. It was timing out before the mic was even engaged.
The incoming call is actually weird. It reads the number and then transfers the custom ring and voice name announcement to BT afterwards. I think it may be the Icon firmware. I know the firmware is customizable on the Icon on the new site. I am going to try and change it from the default voice firmware and see if that is the conflict.
Well it is fixed. It wasn't the firmware. The settings available on the Jawbone MyTalk website were though. The Icon has an internal caller ID feature you can turn off there. Conflict gone, distinctive ring goes through to BT right away.
Hi,
I recently started using A2DP compatible Bluetooth Headset(Nokia BH-103) with dell streak. It works perfectly for Music and Calls, but for incoming call alerts, it just plays beeps in BT headset.
Tried applications life "Talktome" and "Blue Control", but did not help.
Whats strange is that SMS ring tone is transferred to BT headset, but only for calls, there is just beeps.
Have been searching for solution since 5 days now, any help will be appreciated.
Also, if there is an app which can say caller name and works on Streak, please help me out with the name.
I am using 218 Stock ROM.
I read somewhere that caller name is not allowed through Bluetooth. Android restriction.
I have the same problem with my MW600.
I have the BlueAnt T1. It speaks caller name and then asks if you want totake the call or ignore. It is all done verbally. You just need to make sure your phonebook (contacts) are uploaded into ear piece.

Caller name definitely goes through BT. "Talktome" was doing this but only for 1 second of length. It was reading only beginning of the name. So, that restriction is definitely not there in android.

I am using A2DP compatible headset, but it does not have contact storage in the headset.
Thanks for the help anyways.
Anyone, please help me out, this problem is driving me crazy !!
I have the same issue with BH-103 and HTC Desire S. Notification sounds are come trough the headset but for calls I'm stuck with the default Nokia tone. So it's maybe a software issue...
Jawbone ERA does allow that, up to 20, if they are in the JB phonebook.
Otherwise, it just gives the number in the headset.
Greetings:
I need a bluetooth headset that can understand and execute Vlingo command such as call, read caller ID if the caller is in my address book, go to, navigate to, find or search etc and receive GPS voice guidance.
Have anyone here use Plantronics Voyager PRO HD, Jawbone Icon or ERA with your Galaxy S2 Vlingo? If so, which one works best and have the clearest incoming and outgoing sound? If not what product and model do you use that you are happy with?
Your input is greatly appreciated.
I use a Jawbone Icon. Its OK, I wouldn't recommend buying it if you are concerned with volume.....it sucks sometimes. It does function with all Vlingo options you mentioned though.
now i m trying villengo
Thank you all for your input.
I search villengo in the Android market but can't find it.
