HTC Hero and Nokia CK-7W handsfree set

---

Hi @ all,

since a few days i am a proudly HTC Hero owner. Its quite an amazing phone with many features and a steady growing Market.
At the weekend i tried to couple my Hero with my bluetooth handsfree set installed in my car. But what i recognized wasn't so much pleasing: The Hero didn't display the handsfree set in the list of available bluetooth devices.

Before i got the Hero i had a HTC TyTN II aka Kaiser and it worked well with the handsfree set.

Perhaps anybody else have some similar trouble or experience with this and maybe a solution, fortunately. It would be great to keep usage of my handsfree set furthermore.

Thank you and best regards

On handsfree there are some buttons right ? You need to press them in a combination so the handsfree can be detected by your Hero. Just search on the handsfree guide or internet. I cannot help you because I don't have it and don't know the button combination. When you find it go to settings and turn on Bluetooth on your phone. Just search it and connect to it

Hi omokas,

yes, you are right.. but i've done this.
The users guide says you have to press the main button for 1 second. After that you will get a feedback sound and the led gets flashing... so far so good.. everything is fine but the Hero doesn't recognize.

Hopefully there are no different bluetooth protocols or whatever the devices can't communicate.

Have you tried an application from Market ? It may to the job

But if not then your handsfree must be an older version that your Hero can't recognise. Before buying a new one make sure your phone works with other handsfrees.

No, i haven't tried yet. Can you recommend one?
At the moment i'm not able to try an other handsfree. But i've just seen the handsfree is able to store seven pairings... maybe there is the problem.

So i'm going to delete all pairings and give a next try.

Thanks

Yes try that. You could try the application "Bluetooth+Headphones".

Sorry if I am not able to help further but I don't use handsfree because I am 13 and I don't know how to drive.

No Problem... I am appreciate for any Help!

Did you get any results yet? E.g. did the removal of the other pairings work? Or the app from the market?
I'm quite interested in this since I'm still looking into getting the CK-100 build in my car

I am planning on getting that carkit wired up outside of the car, so I can at least give it a try and see if it wants to work. But don't have that much time to give it a try yet, end of next week perhaps...

I have a CK-7W and it works with my Hero (official orange ROM).

It was a bit of a nightmare to get paired in the 1st place, the hero failed to find it but I kept trying and it eventually found it. I think I might have reset the hands free though (pull the power for a few minutes).

The device usually pairs pretty fast, sometimes it takes a min or two but not often.

My only gripes are :
1: some times it doesn't send the audio to the speaker keeping it on phone requiring you to use a menu option to do so.
2: The ring tone isn't the one set on the phone but a generic ringer.
3: Occasionally the phone doesn't disconnect properly when the other end hangs up requiring you to do so manually.

I have a CK-15W car kit

and its fully supported

it even downloads the phonebook very well
