I was wondering if any of you knew of any phone diversion software which automatically diverted your phone to a different (pre-selected) number when your phone is in its cradle synchronising? Then diverts back when taken out of the cradle.

I seem to be having constant issues with keeping the device paired. As far as the PDA2K is concerned it says the device is still linked. However, incoming calls will not ring on it or show the caller id. The device when powered on says the connection fails.
After doing a master reset on the HBH-200 and then repairing the device with the PDA2k I get it to work just once.
Anybody know any tricks here? Otherwise, I am going to return it.
I have updated my PDA2K with the latest 3900 BT software but caller ID 'NAMES' are not displayed on my Sony Ericcson Akono 660 Blue Tooth Headset, only numbers.
I know that names are displayed when it is linked with a Sony Ericcson phone.
Does anybody have any ideas.
I have the Jabra BT800, which has exactly the same problem. When I bought it the chap told me the reason it only shows Numbers instead of names is something to do with the fact that mt QTEK 9090 reports itseld as a PDA instead of a phone. Not quite sure if this makes sense, but it displays names on almost every phone I have tried but not on any PDA phones. I tried it with my friends HP 6315 PDA phone and got exactly the same problem. Hope this helps.
Bluetooth Profiles
I have the Jabra BT800 and the Sony Ericson HBH-200
Both are designed to show the FULL name from the phone. The HBH-200 is even designed to make phone calls by synching up with the phones list of numbers/names. The BT800 can make phone calls (EVEN WITH THE XDAIII), but only from its own internal list of numbers that it catches from the PDA during operation.
The XDAIII is not able to do this since it only supports the headset part of the profile, and not very at that.
The bottom line is that M$ and PDA Phone makers have an awfull lot of catch up work to do before we ever get a system that actually works as well as regular cell phones paired with headsets.

Which of those two headsets would you recommend with the Blue Angel?? I'm looking at the moment and the Caller-Id and select new call from the headset functions look pretty useful.
The Jabra BT800 is not very reliable at all when it comes to the Caller ID. It only sometimes comes up and that is around the 3rd ring anyways.
The HBH-200 is a LOT more reliable at showing the phone number.
As for making calls, only the BT800 has ever made a call. However, it relies on the Caller ID that shows up in its lists. Since that is not very reliable, and does not show the name, I would not classify it as a usefull feature.
All things considered, I would take the BT800. It has much higher sound/mic quality and much longer talk time.
Hi Guys,
I've nabbed a damaged Artemis from work...
Reportedly, this unit was dropped in the bath, and o2 say it's the internal battery charging circuit that's been damaged.
Because of this, the unit wont charge, though it works fine when connected to external power.
What I'd like to do is use this as a tethered GPS device...
1. Hardwire a car charger into the car for power
2. Have the phone automatically turn GPS on
3. Insert a data-contract sim
4. On recieving a specific command via text, transmit it's gps position over the data card or via sms
Basically - use it as a vehicle tracking system.
Does software that'll even remotely do anything like this exist, or maybe one of you programming guru's here could write some sort of script to do this?
Just an idea before I resign and bin this puppy...
Was this device legally "nabbed" or stolen? - Mike
Google for and download Vito FindMe. Its free but requires activation.
Install and specify a secret word that triggers the app to activate gps and send the devices gps location to the sender.
Make sure you set up your QuickGPS to update automatically.
Buy a spare battery and charging stand! lol!
mobile justice
mobile justice is a much better program and is dead easy, even if some sod finds the phone and swaps the SIM Mjustice will tell you the new number allowing you to send a wee txt to it and gain exact GPS location, if you build the MJustice in to the ROM even a hard reset will leave it working, if they reflash it then all methods are no good.
Greetings all,
Just got the new TP2 through Verizon. Love the phone so far but decided to do away with Touch Flow and go back to old Windows interface.
Anyway, I have an XLink BT Gateway box at the house - routes cell phone through house phone landlines. Nice trick.
On my old Moto Q 9c, I could have my BT headset and XLink paired simultaneously. So, if the cell phone rang, I could answer the cell phone, BT headset, or house landline (via XLink).
With the TP2, I found that only one BT device can be active at a time. If the BT headset is turned on first, the XLink just blinks - indicating that it cannot connect to the TP2. If the XLink is activated first, the BT headset will not engage.
Suggestions?
Thanks
I just picked up a my new Note II yesterday, have done nothing to it except install the latest update. This thing is STOCK. My issue is with the Bluetooth connection in my car. I have a 2009 BMW with IDrive which has the Bluetooth integration built in to it. My HD-2, Sensation, GNexus, original Note all connect very nicely to the Bluetooth but my Note II is struggling. I paired it yesterday on the way home from the AT&T store and it worked fine. When prompted to allow the phone book during my initial pairing I checked the box "Don't ask me again" and clicked "Yes", same thing I've done on all my other phones. This morning however it would continue to drop out. It would connect for 15-20 seconds and I would see the little icon that tells me the phone is transferring the contacts then it would simply drop out. 15 -20 seconds later it would recycle and do the same thing again. When I was looking at the contact list on my car's screen it was showing AT&T address book which I do not use (it was just one contact, "something" AT&T) and in fact froze everything AT&T I could through the settings menu . I then deleted the phone from the car's menu and repaired it to the IDrive but this time I said no to allow the phone book. It was not dropping the connection but was constantly trying to obtain the contact data based on the icon on my car's screen. Then all of sudden I received an alert stating an "SOS Call System Failure", my car has a built in SOS function like Onstar....I deleted the phone again and the warning in my IDrive regarding the SOS failure went away.
I searched the BMW forums and found other people with this problem but these were from the '07-'08 time frames and that fix was software to the car. The software in my car is updated and so is the B/T profiles I also found a thread here regarding a similar issue but there was no resolution. Has anyone else had this experience with the Note II? I know enough to get myself in trouble but not enough to figure this out. Is it possible the Bluetooth in the phone only wants to transmit the AT&T address book vs. the Google contacts?? I guess it could be the software in the car but my other Note, whether running stock or CM 9/10 ran flawlessly with regards to the Bluetooth.
Weird, yesterday it's fine and today not so much. Did the last software update have anything in it that affected the B/T?
Any insight would be much appreciated, thanks.
UPDATE-appears my car cannot handle a Bluetooth profile of 4.0. All my previous phones were no higher than 3.0. Hoping BMW will offer a software update at some point but in the mean time if I go with a custom ROM will they probably keep the Bluetooth profile the same as stock or is that something they change??
