I have an intercom in my building that is routed to my cell phone. I need to press number to open the door. In the latest builds of 6.5.1, when I receive a call, the option to show the keypad does not appear and no hardware buttons seems to trigger it either .
Is there a setting or registry key somewhere to force the keypad to appear also when receiving calls?
Also, when making call, is there any specific registry keys that control the screen turning on and off during call that I could control? I can understand the problem of having the screen active while the phone is on the hear, but I find it very annoying to have the screen turning off automatically while im answering questions from, i don't know if you remember the time, when the automated voice answering systems were only understanding key tones...
I find it ironic that my smart phone with gps and internet is not able to mimic the same functionality as any land-line phone can. Its like, yeah look at my new phone, its great for everything... except for the 'phone' experience.

Hello. My first posting. I have looked to see if this has already been asked.... After using mute or vibrate function on my XDA 2s unit, and then switching to making a call or trying to receive a call I can't hear the dial tone, or the other person on the other end of the call. I can only make and receive calls once I soft reset the unit. This is becoming a regular occurence. Any ideas would be much apprecaited.

same problem
I also have same problem. my XDA IIs often have a problem with the incoming/outgoing calls which is I can't hear the tone nor the person's on the other end of the call (but the person on the other end of the call could hear my voice). It often (not always) happens without the device had a recent setting change or running program so on one occassion it just handles the calls perfectly and suddenly the problem happens and I also have to soft-reset it to make it back to normal, and it is becoming regular.
This is unfortunately a well known bug that none radio upgrade could solve so far...
Look at : http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=40417
The problem seems to occur only when Bluetooth is off... So the solution is to turn Bt On (and then off if you wish so) and it's ok without soft reset...
The best way to avoid it is to let Bt ON but to uncheck "Allow other devices to detect me" (forgive me if the english translation is not accurate but my PocketPC is in French) in the Bt parameters to avoid power consumption.
It worked for me so have a try
Folks,
I have a Samsung WEP-500 bluetooth earpiece, which I keep various pockets. The problem is that I must keep catching the button which automatically redials the last number in the phone book. I have tried all things but which every pocket, I still keep catching the redial button. I presume that I could just empty by 'last received' calls from the phone but this is just a little too drastic.
Is there any ideas how to stop this behaviour with a setting or registry key? I have MS Voice Command and cannot do with this. Holding the same button for a longer interval enables me to place a call verbally. It just the single click that bugs me.
Thanks for taking the time to read this and any suggestions welcome. Thanks.

Originaly posted this in the Nike Accessory section, but this device has worked on a couple of my phones so I thought it would be great to post here a well. I decided to write this post after testing for two weeks to make sure my excitement has held up to the initial expectations and to see if any woes present itself. So far I stand by my initial comment; this is the best Windows Mobile accessory I have found to date.
I originally bought this device as a GPS for my car and thought the bluetooth capability would be an added bonus. The handsfree capability of this device is by far the most impressive use of bluetooth I have seen. I have only tested this on the HTC Touch Dual 20 Key (Nike), compatibility and functionality may vary for other devices. So far no real problems; it connects, it works as stated and quite well too.
Highlighted capbilites in order of importance/functionality (to me):
(see screen shots for examples)
Handsfree Bluetooth carkit
Phonebook retrieval with Spell/Search Function
(dynamicaly uses phone address book not programed GPS contacts)
On Screen Dailer/Phone Pad.
Incoming Call Notification (image shows number but also displays name)
Call History (From phone, not GPS)
Phone Status (Signal/Battery)
Loud Speaker
Great Mic w/External Mic hookup
Voice Comand/Dail Compatible
General use description - Use images below for reference:
Device connects within 6-20 seconds after initial GPS bootup(about 20 seconds)
When calls come in there is an easy to use screen with Answer or Ignore option.
To make calls goto the main screen, press phone icon and select either phonebook where you can spell name and it will narrow down, or you can voice dail or use your call records or look up Point of interest and select dail from the results.
Call options let you pull up the dailer, mute the phone or transfer audio back to the phone while you are in a call. You can navigate while in a call, press the red call status button in the map mode to to see the status or end a call quickly.
I have so much more to tell you about but I will leave with this and for anybody to ask questions.
Like everything in the world there are always flaws or downsides. Here are a few (not necisarily flaws but fixes that would have made it better)
I listed voice dail last because the use is great but the audio feedback/voice prompt is quiet and I felt was least usefull in comparison to the other features. (using MS Voice Command 1.6) Voice recognition works great with the Nike but it requres a few key presses to initiate through the on screen buttons.
This GPS can send and receive text messages and read incoming aloud but this feature is not compatible with this phone. Maybe we could fix this another time friends!
Slow Device Bootup (20 secs), but fast paring most times after bootup. I have this device permanetly mounted and the slow boot doesnt bother me ever; its rare when I get a call before I can even pull out of the garage but If I do it will connect within seconds.
Thats all for now but if your interested this device retailed for about 600usd, I got mine on clearance for about 350usd.
Have a good one

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How do you get Voice Command 1.6 to respond? I have a Nuvi 680 and Tilt but nothing happens when I press Voice Dial.
when im at work i use MSVC alot to make calls, its great in that way since i dont have to mess my phone up with dirty hands and stuff "hiker at hertz car rental" but when i use handsfree with the application and i receive a call i can only hear the ringtone for maximum a second, then it stops because the MSVC notification system tells me who is calling, what i can see this function cant be fully dissabled on the phone? anyone that have any tips or similar application but the option to completely dissable incoming calls notification?
Regards /Daniel
In Settings -> Voice Command, highlight phone, and press the options button. There should be an announce incoming option that you can uncheck. Is that what you're looking for?
i found a thread somewhere yesterday, but i dont have all those optiops that where written there either? anyone have a working cab for my X1?
BUMP
as i said, i cant find all the notification options in my version of MSVC, anyone have another cab file that i can try, this problem is rally annoying
Sup All,
forgive me for the easiness of this question but Ive been looking for a while and cant find an answer. Its definitely different on ICS, than other/all android builds. So, is there a way to prevent voice actions from being enabled when you press the button on a blutooth headset? Even a way/app to reprogram the button press shortcut? I was listening to a podcast, pressed the headset button to pause it but I guess I double pressed it or something and it opened the voice actions window, which I wasnt paying attention, mumbled one word and it called an ex. SWEET! I hung up and am pissed this is a "feature", as, Im sorry, the voice actions alone are not that up to par, and on bluetooth, theyre atrocious. Any ideas? I like and use the google search button but Im not very impressed with the dictation of text messages, etc. The voice recognition just does not seem to be up to par, Ive gotten some pretty "are you kidding me?" results when trying to text via voice. But of all things, I dont want to use the whole "call blah blah blah" feature, or any voice "actions" over bluetooth. I want to keep voice search (like only for web searches, etc) but I dont want my phone to interpret what I say and then dial the non-appropriate number. Any apps to reassign the voice actions button or just disable it as a whole? I love the GNex but this ruined my night and Ill die happily if I can have bluetooth in, press the one button and not be worried that its gonna dial someone. Also, Im using a bose BT2, so it doesnt have all the nifty apps like a jawbone or what not, but I like the call quality. Im pretty sure a jawbone has an app that can change the hotkey presses but thats not applicable to me.
