WM 2005 and Bluetooth Hands Free

[916senna]

Does the WM 2005 bluetooth work properly with handsfree profile or is it like 2003 and only work with head set profile :?:

Thanks

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 :-(((((((

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.

The crux is can you activate your phone through your BT headset to call any number?

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.
Bugger :(

In the devices list, tap and hold the car kit, and select handsfree, see if this helps.

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.

ditto with Merc 2003 E class.

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

[opentoideas]

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 :-)
