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.

I upgrded my imate to 2.06wwe.
I also patched my registry key for the handsfree profile to become active.
I paired my Jabra BT250 headset to the imate, which assigned it the handsfree profile.
I even get the handsfree icon, whenever the imate discover the Jabra headset.
So please can anyone tell me, why I see no difference between headset and handsfree profile.
I suppose to have options such as redial directly from the headset, but it just doesn't work.
Do you think something is wrong?
Maybe something in the configuration?

try to use handsfree instead of headset hardware...

hmmm.. let's think... handfree hardware... ???
I am already using handsfree hardware.
Both imate & Jabra support and enabled for handsfree.

Hi amir,
did you say, you used headset??

We are joking right? :wink:
There is no hardware in the world called "handsfree". this is a feature.
The Jabra BT250 headset, support both headset AND handsfree profiles.
Check here. Look under "Supported Bluetooth profiles".
i would say, that headset is a small earpiece with mike in it + bluetooth. however handsfree is a set of separate speaker, mike, it has couple of buttons and it is used mainly in car.
my headset has one button for picking or hanging up phonecalls + volume up/down.
i would say, that every handsfree has two buttons for calls. separate green and red button.
that makes difference for me...
my headset doesn't support handsfree. maybe because it is a headset. not a handsfree.
i don't know about yours...
...so what was the reg hack, you did, to enable handsfree?
do you think, that the problem could be there then?

I'm really not kidding.. )))

excerpt from above link said:
Bluetooth Definition:
Chip technology enabling seamless voice and data connections between a wide range of Bluetooth devices through short-range (typically less than 30 feet) digital two-way radio transmissions. Bluetooth version 1.1 is an open specification for short-range wireless communications of data and voice between both mobile and stationary devices. Bluetooth specifies how cell-phones, WIDs, computers and PDAs interconnect with each other, & with office or home phones that are Bluetooth enabled. Bluetooth is a technology, and not a brand. This makes it possible to mix and match virtually any Bluetooth technology device.
The only concern that arises is to determine if the Bluetooth items use the same "profile" to wirelessly communicate with each other, such as "HFR (hands free)", "HS (headset) ", "DUN (Dial-up Networking)", profiles commonly available in many current production cell-phones. An example of alternate Bluetooth profiles available are "FTP (File Transfer Protocol)", "FP (Fax)", "SAP (SIM)", "LAN (Local Area Network)", "SP (Synchronization)", and many Video & Audio Bluetooth profiles.
Many Bluetooth products only support one profile.
Most current production Bluetooth headsets handle the "headset" profile, but no other profile.
Car kits generally support ONLY the "hands-free" profile, and a few (especially Parrot car kits) support "hands-free", "headset", & "DUN" profiles.
The Motorola Bluetooth USB Data unit uses a "DUN" profile.

Hi,
has anyone yet had success in connecting e.g. a BT GPS receiver and a wireless headset at the same time to the wizard? I'm currently thinking about buying a BT-Headset, but don't want to miss the GPS navigation at the same time...
Thanks, Horst
yeah I've done it a bunch of times.
it works ok with a standard bt ear set but if you try the higher quality stereo set up i had all sorts of problems. The audio would slow down as the data wasnt getting through quick enough, then when it got the data it would play it fast to catch up to where it should be.
Two bluetooth devices
I have had no problems connecting a bluetooth GPS device and a Motorola headset at the same time.
I find the devices are more reliable if the bluetooth is connected first, then the headset.
When receiving a call on the headset the GPS and TomTom continue to work BUT I lose the sound from the TomTom programme - which has never caused any problems.
Cegmawr, have you done this using a BT Stereo Headset like the HT820? or using a standar mono BT headset?
I have an HT820 and when the GPS is on, i loose the Audio, it starts skipping
Make sure devices are Bluetooth 2 not 1.1
I had a Bluetooth 2 GPS and a bluetooth 1.1 hansfree speaker - bioth kept dropping out.
I now have a bluetooth 2.0 GOS and am using a Seimend Bluetooth Car Kit - all works perfectly, as it does with Nokia nd SoneyEric bluetooth headsets... seem s to me that Bluetooth 2 is the key.
Also, TomTom automatically mutes itself if you're in a call, nothing to do with Bluetooth.
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 just bought my first android phone after years with Nokia. Now my question is simple:
With Nokia I just needed to pair my bluetooth car handsfree with the phone, press the green key in the car and I could use the BT handsfree "headset" as input/output for the phone. It also used the phone vocal recognition to start a phone call just naming the contact (using the BT microphone).
With Android the BT headset connects, I can speak through it using the car microphone and speakers, but I must start the calls manually from the phone. Receiving is ok, the green button works.
I tried all kind of BT applications (Vlingo first of all). Is that possible that there is NO option to redirect the audio I/O to the headset?? No to mention that to use the phone vocal recognition I must be ONLINE? What is that?? Is it really that retarded? I don't care about all the beautiful apps. If a phone can't fully serve its purpose, which is… making phone calls? it is just apiece of junk!
Sorry for the rage, but I've found it unbelievable. Any idea/application about how to fix it? I just want to be able to make phone calls without stopping the car (or even worse, to risk to have my driving license suspended)!!
