What a fantastic site. The pda is so incredibly clever and on the i-mate site I have recently upgraded the rom version which includes a radio upgrade.
Can anyone explain if it will be possible to upgrade the telephone to have the voice activated facility that allows you to speak in to a bluetooth handsfree kit and set up a unique number to get the telephone to dial automatically ?
I know that in Canada and the USA Microsoft have a new ?? [not really new now] product called Voice Command which I can't wait for which will allow you to do all kinds of amazing things with the telephone, the appointments and other parts of the pda which will make it much safer to use on the road.
The only poor part of the upgrade from i-mate [i-mate.com] is I am sure that the Bluetooth Navman 4100 GPS unit and the GPS TomTom3 software are 'hanging' more often which is annoying - any suggestions please ?
Than you for an excellent site.

I was using MS Voice Command on my iMate PPC Phone edition. It wasn't a very happy marriage. My iMate would hang to the point where it needed a hard reset about once every or every other week. After a call to iMate tech support and removing the MS Voice Command as suggested, my iMate is much much more stable. Prior to using MS Voice Command with the iMate, I was using it with a T-Mobile PPC Phone Edition. It worked flawlessly. So based on that and other similar experiences (SimCity2000 worked on the t-mo device but not on the iMate) I can't help but suspect the iMate for not being terribly compatible with several different software titles.
Thanks for your information about the voice command - really sad to hear the i-mate doesn't work with it - I won't buy it !
Kind regards
Vito
Why don't you try Vito Voice Dialer PE ?
Guys what are you talking about !! Can't you see that everyone of you is using different ROM!!! But the hardware is still the same !! HIMALAYA.
Imate,XDA2,T-Mobile MDA2,Qtek2020... has the same hardware!
Microsoft Voice Command works with WM2003. It is good as long as the quantity of contacts you have is limited. In larger quantities, confusion starts! (besides the fact that you have to pronounce the names in a typical american accent)
Vito Voice Dialer has 2 different phone edition versions (one for XDA and one for XDAII). Each number has to be trained, but then you can use nicknames and aliases, and it works.
I am getting a little worried here.
It is advertised everywhere that the xda IIs has voice dial, which to me reffers to me talking into a bt headset and it calls that contact.
If this is not possible, can fonix ispeak sort it?
The device comes with fonix voicedial software, but it does not work through the headset. I have my MDAIII mounted on the windscreen in the car and manage to use voicedial to make calls with over 90% accuracy and then talk through my jabra bt headset.
Which unit do you have PDA2K or IIs? I haven't seen any postings yet comparing the two devices, O2 may have addressed some BT issues before launching the IIs.
I won't have one (IIs, already have PDA2K) till next week.
getting the 2's next week. new officail date is the 15th nov. so should recieve it on the 16th
So what does it take to make this work? is it impossible. Can we not do something?
it take it that this product is using the mic hardware and not bluetooth mic?

Anyone come acrross this before: (scroll down to Kai’s Bluetooth Headset Patch 2004 )
http://www.pocketpcmag.com/_archives/sep04/bluetooth.asp
could something simular be done on the xda's
Or is this something where only ever going to get to use with bluetooth v2?
read this an help me please

Its good to see progress being made but the main problem still is a hard ware based. The mic and speaker in phone hardware need to be bridged with the ppc... which gets me thinking.....as we can speak into ppc and listen to the caller then once we BT the call it was bridge/switch it.... dont understand why something so simple and a much required feature is missing :?
Hi,
I have installed the trial version of MS command and it seems to be doing the trick... I have a qtek 9090 and I did not see any installed software for voice dialing... Is it only on PDA2K?
Thanks.

MS Command doesn't support bluetooth headsets either.
From the MS blurb: "Bluetooth Headset Support - Voice Command does not support using a Bluetooth headset to initiate a voice command but you can use a Bluetooth headset during the phone conversation."
So its the same as fonix. You have to speak the dialling command into the device, and it only transfers to the bluetooth headset when the device starts dialling out. If you can put up with that, fonix works pretty well.

Well as much as I was looking forward to getting a PDA2K or SX-66, I feel that this is a MAJOR drawback that has me thinking twice. I read that your cannot initiate VOICE calls using a BlueTooth headset no matter what software you are running. Is this accurate?
If so, then why can the Audiovox SMT5600 do it by the way of voice tags?
Thanks,
Frank
Previous ms smartphones and pocket pc phones have not supported the bluetooth handsfree profile which would allow voice dialling. Since the new devices now support it its up to the software developers to implement it in their software. For example, using my SE HBH-200 on my imate PDA2K i can initiate voice dialling on the headset but on the imate there is nothing to interface with. If the Audiovox can do it there is no reason why a more powerful pocket pc cant do it as well
I've just bought a Jabra BT800 bluetooth headset in Singapore. I connect the headset with my O2 XDA Mini, but the Caller ID function doesnt work properly.
Jabra BT800 work well if an incoming call that is not in my contacts. It shows the phone number.
But in case of the incoming call is in my contacts, eg: First name="Home", Number="123456789", I only see some unknow characters, yes, it's funny, it's not English or any language of mankind, I dont know exactly what is it? It's not ASCII text for sure.
If I rename from "Home" to "Home12345", it'll shows some unknow characters and "12345".
It's only number can be displayed properly, yes, number only.
But my Jabra BT800 works very well with the SonyE T610 of my friend and my XDA Mini works very well with his HBH-660.
What the hell are going on?
There is problem with my XDA Mini only or all XDA Mini? or BT800?
Somebody has experience about this problem? Pls help me! Any solution?
Thanks in advance!
Jabra BT800 V0020
O2 XDA Mini 1.03.00WWE
I'm having the same problem. You can read my today's new post. The thing is that I was so excited to get the BT800 that I forgot to check full compatibility with the Imate. Actually, I found out when I got it, even before turning it on that 2 main features for which I was getting it will not work: Caller ID and Calls list (redial from BT). The problem is with the phone. You can check on Jabra's site that the 2 devices are compatible, but not fully though. I asked todya if there's and upgrade or application for the phone to make it fully functional. You can follow the replies to my post as well. I'm sad too, I paid 190US$ for it.
I have looked all over the Blue Angel Support forum and I was able to get the latest rom which includes the latest Radio 1.08 (I know there is 1.10 but I do not think it is available for cooking yet). I was wondering where everyone was getting this bluetooth stack from (as well as the BT3500 version) and most importantly if these two stacks support A2PD profile (High quality Headphone profile). I have this older PDA2K Broadcom cab file I got over the the firstloox forum that actually worked with my Loox 720, but I think it is a pretty old version. Do these two broadcomm stack versions include this profile and where can I get them and willI have to hardreset to install them or are they available as cab files?
Also with bluetooth on the PDA2k, is it possible to passthrough all the sound that happens in Windows mobile through the headset e.g. Music, videos, etc or is it only phone sounds that go through the headset? And are there any bluetooth headsets that can redial the last number dialed on my PDA2K using a button on the headset?
Look in WIKI for BT cabs.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Versions
(instructions for both 1.08 and 1.10 written by other forum members)
I use an I-tech headset (not sure if available in the States) this has a redial button (two short clicks)
I have last number dialed set to my answer phone, on Orange I use the Wildfire answer phone which has voice recongnition.
I can therefore dial any number using my blue tooth device.
this is exactly what I want to do. What did you use to set the answer button to last number redial. How exactly do I do this on my pda2k with a headset that has an answer button. Is it done on the headset itself or is it done on the pda2k with a special program or app? If you don't mind could you go into detail about this as this would solve the voice dial over bluetooth problem plaguing these devices as I could always use the voice service of my carrier (CIngular wireless in the US).
read on this forum that someone was having his blue tooth jabra bt800 working fine with imate jasjar (shows the name of the caller not only the number)
and after he updated his jasjar rom version it stopped shoing names !
I changed many radio versions to my jasjar with no hope
tryed my jabra bt with imate jam it showes the caller name
any body have any solution for that please help
thx in advance
----------------------------------------
I don't like my jasjar
Jasjar and BT800
@ actGsm,
Till now there is no supporting software which can be installed in Jasjar to make it show the caller ID "Name".
This solfware is available in I-mate Jam, but not in Jasjar.
I hope that I-mate can develop such softwaer soon, and I don't think it's difficult since it is already there with I-mate Jam.
Regards,
Khaled, what CID software for the JAM are you talking about? I didn't know that any such thing existed for the JAM?
I have been able to use the 'Name' feature on my SE HBH-662 for well over a year with my Jam, but it only works if the name/number exist as a contact on the SIM.
@ khaledelfeki
thanks for replying
by the way I found a new update for bt800 (00.34) my latest update was (00.32)
I know it have nothing to do with caller ID but may be it will not make my BT lose connection with jasjar
BR.
@ Monakh,
If you use the same SE head set on Jasjar it will not show the name of the caller even if the contacts are stored on the SIM, but as you said according to your experience it does work with the Jam, this is becaue there is a software included in the Jam ROM to enable the name to appear on the head set screen instead of the number only.
By the way, this software is also available with Sony Erricson cell phones.
Regards,
Some guy made a custom ROM before Stereo Bluetooth ROM's were released (Jwrightmcps)
This rom has REMOTE SIM ACCESS.
It is claimed (as I didn't have the time to test it out) to show the name on BT800 IF and i repeat IF the name is stored on the SIM.
So if you add names to SIM and THEY call you, the name will show. Doesn't work on contacts stored on the device.
It's a nice ROM. Try contacting him for a link to the D/L.
THanks Jwright.
@ actGsm,
The latest up-date is BT800_0034_US, after three weeks of trying the new up-date I can tell you that there is no recognizable improvement in the performance of the head set.
I kept the BT800 head set a side for the time being pending developing a new patch from I-mate to allow the name of the caller to appear on the screen.
For the time being I'm using Motorola HS820, It's too much lighter, and reliable... does not lose connection to the Jasjar at all.
If I-mate were kind enough to develop the mentioned software, I will take back my Jabra BT800 from my drawer and re-pair it to my Jasjar.
Regards,
@ Jorgee,
Thank you very much for the information, I already contacted with (Jwrightmcps) and he gave me the link to download the ROM which is still under testing, but unfortunately I could not open the link.
He asked me to keep the download link private untill the testing is over, but I can give you his email if someone is interested to have the link you can send him an email.
His email address is : [email protected]
