Folks,
I have a Samsung WEP-500 bluetooth earpiece, which I keep various pockets. The problem is that I must keep catching the button which automatically redials the last number in the phone book. I have tried all things but which every pocket, I still keep catching the redial button. I presume that I could just empty by 'last received' calls from the phone but this is just a little too drastic.
Is there any ideas how to stop this behaviour with a setting or registry key? I have MS Voice Command and cannot do with this. Holding the same button for a longer interval enables me to place a call verbally. It just the single click that bugs me.
Thanks for taking the time to read this and any suggestions welcome. Thanks.

Does anyone else have this problem...?
I've just got an HBH-662 for the Universal and it pairs fine and can make calls, but answering calls it doesn't work properly.
The headset recognises incoming calls and rings okay, but when you press the button to answer the call, it doesn't put the sound through the headset, only through the phone.
Maybe it's a setting I'm missing, but it's a tad annoying!

I'm not sure I can help much, but I have no problems with my HBH-662 and my Jasjar.

I too have no problems with the HBH-662 and answering calls.
Will give it loads of testing later and see if i can get it to act the same as yours
I have been using HBH-662 with JJ for few weeks and in general I have no problem. I just wish that the Caller ID issue (the ability for the JJ to send contact name to the BT headset instead of number only) is resolved very soon.
I've not had any problem answering calls. The only problem I've experienced with this headset is an apparent clash with programs like GSPPocketMagic, MagicButton and HandyMenu. With either of the three apps running, my headset drops the connection after 20-30 seconds and I have to press the button on the headset to pick up the call again, which it drops 20-30 seconds later, etc. The moment I uninstall these apps it works fine again.
How strange. It seems to have sorted itself out!
I paired my old BT330 to compare it, it worked fine, so I removed the Akono and re-paired it and it seems to be working.
Thanks for the comments folks, it's useful even though you didn't get the same probs!
Now the next issue is how to reconcile the fact that SE say this thing provides "Caller ID", which I took to mean the NAME of the person, with the fact that it doesn't do anything of the sort... only the number.
And who really remembers the numbers of their friends these days?!

It does provide CallerID name... but only with certain phones WM phones being among those that don't provide name information. It's my understanding that the problem lies in the bluetooth stack on the phone and not with the headset. I did see a post a short while back that suggested the issue was being worked on and would be resolved in a ROM update, so I have hope... but I'm not holding my breath.

Hehehehehehehe.
Microsoft 'working on' the bluetooth stack...
hehehehehehehehe. Sorry. I just find that really funny. The idea that MS are actually working on anything to do with the BT stack on WM!
I don;t really understand why it takes so long to program a bit of BT to provide something like that (or, say A2DP!). I mean, how hard can it be?
Well I'm not a programmer so I won't moan.

Any more comments if Sony Erickson Akono BT headset HBH662 really clashes with magic button and handy menu?
Hi All
Im wondering if any of you guys can help me.
I regulary use TomTom on my XDA Orbit and also use the speaker phone to talk on the phone as I drive. I have a problem when I receive an incomming call wilst running TomTom. The notification appears on the bottom of the screen telling me the is an incomming call, but Its a bit difficult getting from TomTom to the phone screen to switch on the speakerphone, without either dropping the call or quickly answering the call, then quit tomtom, then activate the speakerphone. I dont want to use the supplied headset and i dont have a bluetooth headset. Can anyone give any tips? Maybe a taskmanager wich cyles through the active programs using one of the buttons on the side of the phone??? Clutching at straws now maybe??
When a call is incomming, press the green answer button, quickly, and then press and hold it again.
Thanks for your reply. I will try this and let you klnow how I get on.
Cheers
Works a treat. I Have now also mapped the VJPhoneShortut ("Speakerphone ON") to the GPS Button on the handset which gets rid of the 3 second hold (not always easy when driving). Thanks again.
Hi,
Is there any hack/option/software to change the softkey(s) when the phone is ringing? ive tried a search but the utils seem to cover the softkeys during idle time.
My actual problem is, the Oribt is docked in the brodit holder running Tomtom, incoming call brings the notification window to the top, with the option to answer or reject - and return to tomtom.
But.. if the phone is 'keylocked' - as tomtom is now on top (after the call is answered) again there seems to be no way (without exiting tomtom) to get back to the today screen to unlock the lock, to then get to the speaker button - All a bit of a hassle when driving!!!
So what im looking for it to change the 'Answer' softkey to Answer on Speaker
Phonealarm will somewhat allow this through profiles, but i'll never remember to change profiles each time im in the car!!
Any Ideas anyone?
Bump.
Any Ideas anyone?
Unfortunately no solution, but as I have the same problem I will risk a small kick
--EDIT--
And a small search in the manual gave me this answer:
During a call, tap Speaker On, or press and
hold TALK until the speakerphone turns on. The
speakerphone icon ( ) appears in the title bar.
Now see if it works during TOMTOM operation
I have an intercom in my building that is routed to my cell phone. I need to press number to open the door. In the latest builds of 6.5.1, when I receive a call, the option to show the keypad does not appear and no hardware buttons seems to trigger it either .
Is there a setting or registry key somewhere to force the keypad to appear also when receiving calls?
Also, when making call, is there any specific registry keys that control the screen turning on and off during call that I could control? I can understand the problem of having the screen active while the phone is on the hear, but I find it very annoying to have the screen turning off automatically while im answering questions from, i don't know if you remember the time, when the automated voice answering systems were only understanding key tones...
I find it ironic that my smart phone with gps and internet is not able to mimic the same functionality as any land-line phone can. Its like, yeah look at my new phone, its great for everything... except for the 'phone' experience.

I love XDA and its community and thanks to every hard working rom cookers. MS should pay you all big time for what your doing.
Greetings!
I have my Desire running MIui GB and it is fantastic.
I prefer using a bluetooth headset rather than talking to the phone directly.
The problem comes when the headset is inside a pocket ,and its buttons are pressed.
On a single button tap i had voice dial popping on the screen.
There were false matches by the voice dialing app and random calls were made.
This was easily disabled, simply by deleting VoiceDialer.apk from the ROM.
The other problem that i haven't found a solution yet, is when the button of the headset is pressed twice.
When that happens, the phone redials the last number, bypassing any lock screen. It is happening quite often actually.
Anyone knows how can i disable that?
Bluetooth headsets are suppose to go on your head, not in your pocket.... seriously.

Does your headset have key lock? Or u could buy an extra pocket for the headset.

Meaple in my places they say that " If you don't have something to say, don't speak". Seriously...

I found a workaround by chance just now. After I installed dialer for JAJAH service that I use I got a dialog asking what program to use after clicking BT button.
As long as i don't select USE BY DEFAULT it stops at that dialog and doesn't dial.
Please all, lets keep it on topic and with respect.
Thanks for your cooperation.
