Hi:
I've been searching for info how to achieve the following, which I can't get done so far:
I have stereo bluetooth headphones with a mic. These are great for receiving calls, when you don't have the phone easily accessible, like in the car etc.
They have only two buttons, one is a two-way joystick for loudness. The other one is a receive/hangup button using which you can accept incoming calls.
What I'd like to do is to enable it to activate voice dial when I press it, to make a phone call.
So far I've only discovered that if I hold it depressed a long time, then the headset redials the last-dialed number.
In some instances after a call, when I've pressed the button, voice dial has come up and asked for the called id, however I cannot replicate this behavior, and it doesn't do it when the home screen is visible. Only I think after I've dialed from the headset, then hang up. Then at that screen press the button, but it's not stable.
So it seems though, to use the button to activate voice-dial is possible. I'd just like to set it up so that it works.
Anyone know how to?
Try holding one of the buttons
Depending on the BT adapter, you might have to hold down the receive/hangup button till you hear a confirming beep.
its usually a short press for voicedial a little longer press for redial last number. so try just doing short press insead of holding it down
Hi guys,
I have a strange problem with the TYTN II. I put it to vibration using the HTC home ant it is OK, vibrating when somebody calls. Then suddenly, without me changing anything, it starts ringing as if I changed it to "Normal" profile. When I look at the HTC home I see it still has the "Vibrate" profile selected. I have to press on the "Vibrate" again to make it go to vibration again.
This strange thing happens randomly (or at least I cannot find what causes it), sometimes when I have used the phone, and sometimes even when I haven't.
Any ideas what the problem might be?
Thanks.

Have you gone to Settings>Phone and set the Ring type to "vibrate and ring"?
You can also use Settings>Sounds & Notifications>Notifications and set "Phone: Incoming call" to "Vibrate and ring"
Hope this helps
Yes, I have all the settings. I change between the "Vibrate" and "Normal" profiles when I am in meetings (vibrate only) or generally (normal, ring + vibrate). The problem is that when I set the vibrate profile, the phone automatically rings sometimes, with sound, which I don't want in a meeting.
reminders?
This problem has just started to appear on my Kaiser. It seems to show up after a reminder appears. I have turned off all sounds and reminders except calendar reminders but vibrate still gets changed to ringing. I have also used Kaiser Tweak to change the defaults.
I don't what triggered this but it seemed to start when I uninstalled FlexMail 4 and then installed Flexmail 2007 but that may be coincidence.
A real problem in meetings or in a hearing where an official can really get upset over a ringing phone.
I still don't have a solution. I don't use FlexMail (any version) so I don't think this is the problem. It could be the calendar but I have not found any connection yet.
Work around
This is by no means perfect but it will prevent embarassing moments. Try recording a "silent" ring tone and using that for your ringer. Then all you miss are phone calls. They, of course, go to voice mail.
I had a similar issue, however it was in reverse, by once choosing the automatic profile in the HTC home.
Basically the automatic feature remains active after selecting it once, so after the reminder, even if it doesn't have time if your next block of time happens to be "free" it will revert it back to ringing.
Unfortunately I never found a solution and now have a new Kaiser, which I have avoided selecting it since getting the phone.
bluetooth too
Yesterday while on a call using a handsfree bluetooth device, a calendar reminder popped up and my bluetooth connection was dropped simultaneously. The call was not dropped and I was able to turn on the handfree connection again using the menu.
Which has led me to search for these type of problems. I found a thread that addresses a way to turn off push mail notifications. I understand the same "fix" works with calendar notifications.

Here is a thread on notifications.

I am now sure that the problem is connected with the calendar. It appears when I make some changes in an event (not always but in about 90% of the cases). I am synchronizing with Outlook and I think the problem appears when I change an event that was already synchronized. By "changing" I mean even dismissing the alarm when it goes off.
Any ideas what I could do?
When my phone is asleep (on the seat of my car), if I push the call button on my bluetooth headset, I get beeps and hear the prompt to speak the name - but nothing happens after that.
If I then wake my phone (with trackball or powerbutton), the phone immediately dials the number and makes the call.
I am using trackball wake on a custon FRF91 ROM. This seems to happen with a couple different ROMs I've tried.
Anyone else seeing this? Does this happen with stock? Any workarounds?
It would be more "handsfree" if I didn't have to grab the phone and wake it first.
Hello,
Just wanna ask if anyone else got that problem. When I press the headset button (on the bundled headset) it either skips a track or jumps back or stops the track and I can't find a pattern.
Also on double tap I call the last number in call history and the display unlocks (this can't be intended, or is it?), also sometimes it skips a track or does both, there is also no real pattern.
Tried several things to fix that and also tried the headset from my old S2. Headset Button Control doesn't work at all and PowerAMP works but also crashes the phone app everytime I skip a track per double tap.
Thanks in advance for reply
Recently I have not been able to use or see an on-screen keypad when I am using Android auto for phone calls during the call. I can get to the screen that is shown in my picture but there is no place to press a key pad during the call or an option for hanging up the call. Anyone else have this problem where can tell me how to fix it?
I usually initiate phone calls by telling Google to call a certain person.
Update: Well after a quick Google search I found that it was the Samsung car mode app that was interfering. So I uninstalled it and everything is fine. Let's just leave this here in case anyone else has the issue.
