All,
I am considering getting a SE HBH 662 bluetooth headset which has caller id display. Now my question is will this work with my T-Mobile MDA III ( I am using bluetooth build 3900) and will the caller id display on the BT?
Also when pairing the BT to my MDA III I am using the Hands-free/Headset setup - is this correct?
Thanks

I am not sure about the 662. But I recently purchased a SE 660 and the voice quality is not bad for the most part. The 660 does not seem to have noise cancellation feature, therefore driving and talking with the window down is not possible, the listener complains that there is excessive ambient noise.
Only the headset profile seem to work with my pda2k BT 3900. I am told that the pda2k does not (yet) support the handsfree profile. So you will not be able to do voice dial, caller id number does not seem to work all the time, there is no suport for caller id name support either.

Have you guys experienced any of the crackling noise on any other units, and if so have you noticed it on the hbh units you were talking about? Because I can learn to drive with the window up, but this excessive crackling is rediculous.

So just to confirm,
The HBH662 does not allow voice dialing and also the caller id sometimes works but does not display the name of the person calling just the number?
Thanks

I am getting a little worried here.
It is advertised everywhere that the xda IIs has voice dial, which to me reffers to me talking into a bt headset and it calls that contact.
If this is not possible, can fonix ispeak sort it?
The device comes with fonix voicedial software, but it does not work through the headset. I have my MDAIII mounted on the windscreen in the car and manage to use voicedial to make calls with over 90% accuracy and then talk through my jabra bt headset.
Which unit do you have PDA2K or IIs? I haven't seen any postings yet comparing the two devices, O2 may have addressed some BT issues before launching the IIs.
I won't have one (IIs, already have PDA2K) till next week.
getting the 2's next week. new officail date is the 15th nov. so should recieve it on the 16th
So what does it take to make this work? is it impossible. Can we not do something?
it take it that this product is using the mic hardware and not bluetooth mic?

Anyone come acrross this before: (scroll down to Kai’s Bluetooth Headset Patch 2004 )
http://www.pocketpcmag.com/_archives/sep04/bluetooth.asp
could something simular be done on the xda's
Or is this something where only ever going to get to use with bluetooth v2?
read this an help me please

Its good to see progress being made but the main problem still is a hard ware based. The mic and speaker in phone hardware need to be bridged with the ppc... which gets me thinking.....as we can speak into ppc and listen to the caller then once we BT the call it was bridge/switch it.... dont understand why something so simple and a much required feature is missing :?
Hi,
I have installed the trial version of MS command and it seems to be doing the trick... I have a qtek 9090 and I did not see any installed software for voice dialing... Is it only on PDA2K?
Thanks.

MS Command doesn't support bluetooth headsets either.
From the MS blurb: "Bluetooth Headset Support - Voice Command does not support using a Bluetooth headset to initiate a voice command but you can use a Bluetooth headset during the phone conversation."
So its the same as fonix. You have to speak the dialling command into the device, and it only transfers to the bluetooth headset when the device starts dialling out. If you can put up with that, fonix works pretty well.

Well as much as I was looking forward to getting a PDA2K or SX-66, I feel that this is a MAJOR drawback that has me thinking twice. I read that your cannot initiate VOICE calls using a BlueTooth headset no matter what software you are running. Is this accurate?
If so, then why can the Audiovox SMT5600 do it by the way of voice tags?
Thanks,
Frank
Previous ms smartphones and pocket pc phones have not supported the bluetooth handsfree profile which would allow voice dialling. Since the new devices now support it its up to the software developers to implement it in their software. For example, using my SE HBH-200 on my imate PDA2K i can initiate voice dialling on the headset but on the imate there is nothing to interface with. If the Audiovox can do it there is no reason why a more powerful pocket pc cant do it as well
Hi,
Newbie, just purchased an XDA2i with an O2 'blue' headset and I need some help in the voice dial area.
Turns out they are not compatible for one click voice dialing. Installed fonix VoiceDial 2.0 off the O2 installation CD but it will not activate from the Blue Headset Call button. In the XDA settings you can assign hardware buttons from the XDAii to start the voice dial feature but not from the headset pickup / make call button.
Any ideas if this can be resolved or if there is another voice dial software that can be activated to make a call by clicking the O2 blue headset? And/or another headset that works so I don't have to keep getting this thing out of my bag to make a call? - Would have thought this would have been a basic requirment of a phone/pda this size?
Cheers,
R
Same problem with Jabra BT250v
I have the same problem with my XDA IIi and Jabra BT250v headset. O2 Customer services are absolutely no help, they say "there is no headset available at the moment that will function properly with xda IIi". O2 Shops say all headsets will work but you need to buy one and then try", what does one believe and go to get help...........?

These PDA's dont support this functions, irrespective of where you buy it from. orange, voda, o2, t-mobile - they just can't do bluetooth voicedial. Naff but true.
:roll:
Yes, strange but true, it seems the reason is that the xda series are pda's with phone capability, not phone with pda capability so they thought they would leave out that particular feature. Probably something to do with marketing but I cant see the logic of it for the life of me.

I have a O2 mini, and Sony BT Headset. I also have a disability and this 'non-feature' is more than just an 'annoyance' for me.
Calling out I can manage on the pda and the headset turns on automatically - though voice dial would be handy, it's the answering that I have trouble with.
Can you tell me, is the 'bit' that switches a incoming call to a BT headset part of the BT in MSWindows 2003se PPC software or part of the O2 firmware or part of hardware?
What does the answering? Could a utility be written that detects an incoming call and switch answer to a BT headset?

There are two known pocket pc phones that have bluetooth voice dialling; the Motorola MPX and the Eten M500. So its not a limitation of the OS, just short-sightedness of some app developers
Has anyone tried a bluetooth headset with caller id which works with the jasjar/mda pro?
I have Sony Ericsson HBH-662, it works fine on XDA IIi, so it should work on jabra.
There is a discussion for this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=28320
The current conclusion is still, either go with SonyEricsson HBH-662 BT or the Jabra BT-800. But both still have problem displaying the caller ID, both will display the number instead of the contact name.
There is another review about the BT headset topic (very detail):
http://pocketpcdubai.com/i-mate_PPC/jasjar/reviewp4.html
I'm personally waiting until something better comes out unless you can live today with 'number only' caller ID.
Fredy
Unfortunately it's not the fault of the headsets that they only display the number. Both my HBH-660 and BT800 display the caller name with my se P910i.
HTC do not pass the caller name to the headset. None of their phones do. It's a crying shame.
I use HBH-200 that shows incoming callers number - but no nae im afraid tested it a mates xda-exec and it did display caller number-will give it a more intense workout onc iget my exec
it is a shame id love to get a bluetooth device like the HBH-200 that shows the callers name!!!! the 200 only does that with my v800
neva mind
Hi,
I am using Plantronics M55 headset with G3. What I am looking is simple application, that will announce through M55 caller name.
I found many such announcers, but some do not work with bluetooth at all, some insist on announcing always, even if headset is not connected, some announce after big delay (and do not work with BT), etc.
So the question is - is there free/payed application that supports automatic announcing of the caller name through BT, and only if BT headset is connected ?

Hi,
Maybe try Tasker or a similar app to switch on/off the announcer app when your phone connects to your BT headset.
I just switched upgraded from an LG G6 to the P2XL. I had read somewhere (just can't remember where) that Pixel supports Caller ID over BT. I have a set of around the neck earbuds and it would be nice to get notified who is calling me on an incoming call. I tried Enhanced SMS & Caller ID+ but it didn't read me the Caller ID over BT. Can this be done on the Pixels?
Thank you

Works fine on my Plantronics Bluetooth headset
Are you using the same app? Maybe I have something misconfigured.
FWIW: I'm using the Spigen Legato Arc
It depends on your BT headset and if it supports that feature. The Pixel had the profile.
