Since I upgraded to Summiter's Test2 and now the multi-installer, I can not switch to phone handsfree. There is a button on the call status page that says "speaker on". It used to be I could press that and it would switch to speaker phone (away from BT). Now pressing that button does nothing.
The reason this is a problem is that it's easy to leave the BT headset in a different location than the phone. If I initiate a call from the phone, it automatically connects to the BT headset.
On recieving calls, I know to press the hard button for "talk" and it will let me use the phone in the traditional mode (even if the BT is connected). BUt when I initiate a call, I don't have any choice like that.
Thoughts? Am I the only one with this problem?

I have searched and cant find any general way to switch a phone call on my BT handsfree back to my Tilt handset. For instance, if I try to leave my car after starting a call on my BT handsfree, I have to end the call and redial it away from the car. I wonder if anyone knows a way to toggle the BT signal back to the phone handset so that it no longer plays through the car system. but do not disconnect the call. Thanks very much!

See this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321115 , post #4, for a small add-in to the phone menu that allows you to toggle bluetooth on and off while in a call. I've seen the website where this comes from, but can't remember or find it right now.
When in a call, goto Menu, there is an option to "Turn Hands-free Off".
Buy a decent carkit with this function. I have a bluetouch carkit and it has a button for private calls. So i can switch between the phone and the carkit.

Thats what I do!
Did you not notice it in the menu during a call?
Thanks very much
I appreciate the help - I am stuck with an internal BT system in my car that is vintage 2001 and has little flexibility - if I install a new unit, I loose teh system integration that was standard on the car.
I have searched and did not find the simple solution you all suggested - I am embarrassed that I missed the "turn-off hands free" option in Menu!! I will try this - hopefully it does not disconnect the call.
Thanks very much and happy holidays!
I have a Tilt and the 510 Voyager headset. I'm wondering if there's a way to do the following two things:
1. When the headset is turned on and connected to the phone is there a way that I can make it so that I can still talk on the phone? It seems like when the headset is turned on that the microphone and sound is muted on the phone, so you have to use the headset.
I want to be able to use either the phone or the headset at the same time.
2. If I walk out of range of the headset while it is turned on, then walk back in range, can I set it so that the headset will automatically reconnect?
1. You can switch from the headset to the phone during a call. It is one of the options on the "call screen". I don't believe you can set it to default, but you can just turn off bluetooth if you want the default headset to be the phone.
2. The headset should automatically reconnect when brought back in range. Try pushing the "pick up" button on the headset. It should automatically re-pair in a second or two.
I've got a cheap headset from dealextreme.com. The pairing should be fairly easy (hold a button until the headset flashes red and blue, and search for bluetooth devices using the phone).
I do so, and Diamond finds the headset. I connect, but Diamond never asks for a passcode.
The result is that the pairing between the headset and Diamond is lost every time I turn of the headset (which makes it practically worthless).
I tried pairing it with my laptop. The laptop ask for a passcode, I enter "0000" as told in the manual. The pairing stays even if I turn the headset off and on again.
Is there a "trick" to be done? I thought I had paired enough bluetooth devices over the years, but this was new to me...
winmobile automaticly tries the "standard" bt-headset passcodes like 1234, 1111 and a few others. if they fail you will be asked to enter one yourself. it's weird that it fails. have you done a complete reset of the headset?
I would, if I only could figure out how to do that...
The manual in "engrish" does not tell me how to, allthough it's listed as a step in the "Failure guide".
My headset pairs as yours does, automatically, as 0000 is the passcode.
If I turn off my headset and turn it back on again, it doesn't appear to pair back but if you make a call or receive one, it pairs straight away then puts the call through.
Have you tried any calls after turning off headset then on again?
My jabra headset resets if you press all buttons at once for a few seconds, but i guess you've already tried that.. same moskus as in the hw.no and smartmobil forums?
Yes, I've tried to make a phonecall after a "reboot". However, it's like Diamond doesn't know that the headset is even turned on.
me too!jabra bt500
I used to have a phone that when BT was paried to a headset, that when a call came in, it popped up a message asking if I wanted to use the headset or handset.
Came in real handy when I could not find my headset and my phone was ringing.
You can just answer the phone, press menu and unselect "Bluetooth".
Hi,
I have a Blue-tooth hands-free set in my car.
Often I need to walk away from my car during a phone call.
It also happens that I am outside the car, a few yards/meters away from it when I make or get a call. when this happens the audio goes to the BT headset, but I can't hear it or be heard because I'm not near it.
So how can I make an ongoing call move from the BT headset back to my phone?
It has to be done from the phone only. No pressing buttons on the headset itself etc. (as I explained, I might be far from the headset and the car may be locked, etc.)
ThanX in advance!
