Does Anyone Have A Solution? When I Get A New Text Message The Bluetooth Doesnt Notify Me
i didnt know it was meant to send out bluetooth alerts when you receive a text?
with other phones i would get a beep of some sort in my ear alerting me that i had a message
For a normal handphone (nokia for example), when the phone is connected to a bluetooth earphone, all sound will be redirected to the earphone. This include sound produces by the menu.
For Windows Mobile, it isn't so. Only the phone calls get redirected. It has something to do with how Microsoft implements the sound mechanism. If I'm not mistaken, the phone calls sound and the normal sound playback mechanism are seperated.
try enabling bluetooth audio gateway
how do i do that?
I've just got a Garmin GPS that acts as a bluetooth handsfree. That works fine - but it also says that it should be able to receive a SMS over bluetooth, and even speak it out.
I don't get any bluetooth text notifications - I assume this is the same thing. I'm still on 2003SE - would an upgrade affect this?

not really working for me, once I push the BT button - it ask for the command but the the BT disconnects ...
Works fine for me on my JX-10.
My Jabra BT8010 works well so far with voice command.
FYI; The default mode on the BT8010 is "music mode" This means if you push the large center BT8010 button into your head, it is the pause/play button for Media Player. Here's what you do.......
You have to press the (mode) button at the tip of the BT8010 once to turn off music mode. *icon will change on LCD screen) Now when you press the large center BT8010 button into your head, you'll then hear the voice command boobeep and it works great!
Turn on BT durring a call?
BT question:
Are we supposed to be able to activate our bluetooth headset durring a phone call already in progress? (you want to switch your headset on, in the midde of phone call) I was able to do this just fine on my iPAQ 6900. I noticed that if I activate bluetooth durring a phone call, the system/phone audio will not transfer to the bt headset unless I hang up the current phone call first. The system icon will show it's connected though! I then have to hang upt and call them back and my headset works as it should. This also happened on my 750 via WM5, but I was hoping the new 750 WM6 would fix this. (just updated)
Is this the same behavior for everyone else or is it somethign to do with my BT8010?
I can transfer calls to my Motorola H700 just fine, but I heard the BT8010 dont work quite right with WM. I was actually interested in getting the BT8010's pretty soon - how well does it work? Is the call transfering during a call problem the only thing you've encountered? I've heard it takes away your ringtone(only rings in the headset - not from the phone) can you turn a2dp on/off with ease?
I can turn on my bluetooth (Aliph Jawbone) during the middle of a call and it will transfer the call to the headset.
I can also use VoiceCommand over the bluetooth headset.

same for me with motorola BT (HS500).
Strange. Mine allows me to say the command ... just tried it and dialed out to my brother.
I figured it out, I need to hit the action button my jabra before the audio is transfered over to the headset. (durring an already active phone call with bt turned on later/in the middle of it) This makes sense, since it allows you to control when the audio switches over in case you're not ready. In the past it was automatic. I remember a few times not having my headset on so it's better this way anyway. Everything works great.
Well VC is halfway working for me so far with my MotoHS850... I can make calls by speaking the name and then it dials fine. But VC is not announcing the Caller via BT, although I have that selected under VC settings.
I am also getting this odd behavior I described in detail here: http://discussion.treocentral.com/showthread.php?t=149924
I cant even get it to work without a BT headset... think it is my accent though.
For me, everything works fine so far using a Jabra BT5020 except for one thing. When I activate VC via the headset I get the prompt over bluetooth but then silence. The prompt then repeats over the handset, and it is only then that I am able to initiate a voice command. If I try to do it at the first prompt over the headset, the command won't make it to the phone. The commands are also not repeating over the headset. Anyone else experiencing this?
Jawbone, HTC/Cingular Tilt Voice Commander not working for me...
I too am having difficulties to get the Jawbone to activate Voice Commander v1.60.4622.0. It will start to open the phone connection but then that's it.
Also MS Voice Command is suppose to do more like open apps.; calendar, contacts, etc... nothing happens.
I know MSVC works, when I hit the activation button I set (which happens to be the Windows Start menu) it then will do the typical VC beep and then allow me to speak my command.
I'm thinking it's more a Jawbone thing. I did have it working on my 8525 but I killed that thing.
BT and VC work fine for me using Jawbone. You need to look at the help file on the Palm relating to the VC proper usage as it did not really work for me until I did some reading. There are very specific words you must use to get it to work i.e. Open Contacts FAILS but Show Contacts succeeds. Then Show "conatct name" will show you the person you are looking for. As far as initiating a call via BT headset, I press the Jawbone side button this gives me a tone then a pause then another tone then you speak your instructions i.e. Call John Smith, there will be a pause while the app looks for John Smith, then it will repeat the name to you and ask if you want to call John Smith at Home, Work, or mobile depending on what you have saved for that particular contact. I have noticed it isn't perfect. If you have a contact with a phonetically difficult name it would be wise to change the contact name to Bob B instead of Bettencourt as at times the VC doesn't understand the name spoken. Overall it works pretty good, much better than my old Razr and there is no setup involved just say the name and go.
For some reason today MS Voice Command stopped announcing things such as messages and incoming phone calls. It wrked fine before, announced everything, but now when i get a call or message (vmail, txt, email) my headset will beep as iff it were about to anounce like it did before but then is just silent (i can hear the speaker active though as iff the bluetooth is active). I have everything checked to announce in the options and nothing has been changed but i am just wondering if anyone can help me solve this prob;em...ive also tried unchecking all options, soft resetting and then rechecking them all to no avail...
sorry guys i ended up finding a solution...my own idiocy lol
just bought a new bluetooth headset (jabra bt530) and now voice command won't announce calls through the headset. the phone rings and the headset also makes a sound to notify of a call, but it won't announce the caller's name. i can perform all other voice command functions from the headset.
everything worked fine with my last headset. and calls are announced when the headset is off so the phone isn't the problem. if it means anything, this headset has the wireless stereo profile.

Did you go into Voice Command Setting and Click Notifications and set it to announce over bluetooth?
You may search for the MSVC Tutorial Thread in The Kaiser Software Section.
I have to be a real newb...what is voice command?Where is it?
Its a program that you have to install unless you have it in your rom already, it allows you to COMPLETELY use you phone with voice commands. It requires no voice training at all, it works with microsoft's dynamic voice recognition.
fixed one problem and got another. using start>connections>bluetooth, i turned off the wireless stereo option and the headset started announcing calls. however, now the headset won't announce text messages. they'll just go through the phone speaker. this is weird.
i guess i could just use bt toggle to direct all audio to the headset but if there is any other way to fix it let me know.
problem solved. deleted the partnership and then paired it agan. but this time i immediately turned off the wireless stereo function. voila. everything comes thru the headset.

diar, how do you initiate MVC from your Jabra bt530. I get all notifications, just can't use it from my bluetooth. I tried holding the button, pressing it twice; nothing.
Help Help A list of MSVC
Does anyone now where in the internet a compleate list of all the voice commands. I have had no luck finding them.
I am trying to get ALL audio to my BlueAnt Interphone unit. Calls work fine on their own, with no extra audio enabled. Audio will come through OK until I either receive and finish a call or use Voice Command, then it goes to the phone speaker. I have tried using BTMusic, BlueMusic and BTAudio and they are all good at putting audio to the headset but only BlueMusic returns the audio after the call, the others drop out after any other activity. Strangely BlueMusic will return the audio to the headset after a call, but it doesnt allow the call audio through to the headset, it can only be heard on the phone speaker. Searching the forum doesnt seem to show this problem, although several are close they dont provide a solution, though they did provide the info regarding the software choices. I have set the Bluetooth settings with Kaiser Tweak.
Currently running the HTC WM6.0.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Cheers
I am having an issue with my N1 and my 2010 Acura TL Bluetooth.
Sometimes it connect just fine, others it connects and then drops and still other times will connect the media portion, but not the phone portion.
Does this sound like a software issue(Bluetooth Stack) or defective hardware on the N1?
My car's Bluetooth is fine as it pairs and stays connected to my older phone and other phones that I have tested.

I'm pretty sure it's software-based. IIRC, Bluetooth is partially broken on Android and hasn't been completely fixed yet.

It's a software issue with Android which will [hopefully] be fixed in soon-to-come Android versions
I have same problem with Nokia's car kit and N1. When I start my car, phone connects to HF and says "connected to phone and media" (or something like that) in BT-menu.
Spotify plays music via A2DP thru car kit without any problems, but sometimes phone connection is partially dropped (incoming voice) without any notification. When call arrives, Spotify stops playing music as it should be and I can answer to phone call, but I can't hear callers voice. However, caller can hear my voice, so only callers voice is muted.
This happens randomly. Sometimes phone audio works and sometimes not.
Is this problem reported to Google?

Can I upgrade bluetooth 2.0 to bluetooth 3.0 one my nexus one ???
Sadly, Google decided to make Android 9 stream every sound a phone can make to a connected BT device, no matter if that device is capable of playing that sound, and no matter if streaming every sound makes sense at all. This leads to not hearing alarms and notifications and it also means you can't hear directional instructions by you navigation app when your phone is paired to your car's radio for phone calls only.
And sadly, Lineage decided not to undo this not-so-clever idea of Google.
I know we had this discussion before, but being not able to hear my navigation app drives me crazy every day I need to use it. My company car is equipped with a BT capable radio, that can handle calls only. But as soon as the radio and my phone are connected, Android/LOS still tries to send every tone and every sound to that radio, resulting in silencing my phone completely.
I tried some apps that can redirect any sound in a way that they appear as a phone call to a connected BT device. But those apps block calls, and while I am talking to some one, there won't be any navigation instructions on the car's speaker either and I have to rely on optical instructions, removing my vision from the happenings on the road. These apps also make the radio useless as a radio: you have to keep it switched to BT input all the time.
How about the other way round? Is there any app that can make Android stop sending a specific audio output to a connected BT device? If it's possible to disguise even music as a phone call, I imagine it should be possible to tell BT to use the phone's speaker for a specific source of sound.
There is a setting in maps whether to send directions via Bluetooth

There's a similar setting in Osmand, which sends directions as a phone call to the BT device. But using this option will interrupt the paring for phone calls, so you can't have both, you have to decide whether to use hand free calling mode or to hear your navigation directions.
BT and its settings was a thousand times more sophisticated in Android 7 / LOS 14, when alarms and notification sounds where played over the phones speaker, while your music or calls was sent to a BT device. Now, in A8/LOS15 and above, all sounds are send to a paired and active BT device. So, if your ear phones are activated, and you put them into your pocket, you won't hear any text notification or any alarm. I can not imagine the poor way of thinking at Google's development department that has lead to this idea.
