Hi!
First of all, sorry for my english, I'm from germany.
I'm new here, waiting for my O2 Diamond to be released
Therefore I'm searching for a Bluetooth headset. I don't want to carry the Diamond everytime in my trouser pocket but (if I have it with me) in my bag. I hate ringin phones so I'm searching for a headset that could notify me with vibration on incomming calls. Best would be if the headset has a display that shows me who is calling. Can you suggest me some headsets?
It would be terrific if the headset could notify me on incomming SMS / mail. Is that possible?
Regards
Daniel
Jabra bt8010
is a pretty good head set has caller id, 30 number phonebook, silent,vibrate,ring and ringtone from handset, also stereo headset
hi!
Thanks for your reply, I found the bt8010 myself. But I normaly need no stereo headset. I would prefer the bt800 (if I can get it anywhere).
Do you have the bt8010? Which OS is installed on you phone?
Any experiences about the caller id function? Is it possible that the Headset shows the same IDs as in your phonebook of your mobile?
And can someone give me a hint about the SMS / mail notification?

I believe the BT800 has been discontinued and replaced with the BT8010.
The phonebook/caller ID function is great, but the catch is you have to download the software separately, and manually input the entries into the headset itself, and it can only hold 30 entries.
Anything not in the headset's address book will just display as the number, not the name of the person calling.
You can get the software and such here:

The stereo speaker is detachable, so if you don't want stereo, just don't attach it.
I'm running Windows Mobile 6 on a Moto Q9c, and can't say enough good things about this headset. It has adequate sound quality and noise reduction mic; I've never had someone complain when talking on it.
As for email notification...I doubt it; the headset doesn't alert you when a new text message comes through (though the phone still reacts as normal).
Thanks for your answer Oh SoS

Yes, I think so. But maybe I can get the BT800 somewhere (eBay or so). Probably that woul be cheaper.

Are you sure about that? Is it impossible that the display shows the caller ID that is in the mobiles phonebook? or would that maybe work with some phones?

I heard only good stuff about Jabra so I think it will be one of them.

hihi, me too. But it would really be ingenious if that would work. I plan to have the headset the only thing in my pocket, so I would need the vibration of the headset to notice new text messages. I hate ringing phones.
yeah I have the 800, but its uncomfortable to wear for long periods and the display is not that bright. The 8010 can be worn as a mono headset. The 80l0 was a good start but the 8010 is much better, also can connect to 2 phones, not at the same time.
Hi Harry,
as you have the BT800, can you tell me if it notifies you for incoming SMS/mail?
Whit what mobile-phone do you use the BT800?

I use my headset when I'm driving, and I've noticed since the upgrade that the headset doesn't ring when I get a call. I looked in the Profiles, and there's no Headset Profile. Does anybody know of a way to either enable one or create one?
Thanks.
I notice this ALSO!!! Its driving me nuts!....no pun intended as i use it when i drive as well. Anyone know whats going on?

No offense, but that is the best thing (to me) about WM6... Okay, maybe not the best, but I prefer this method to the WM5. I understand it was nice to have your headset profile set the way you like it for using your headset. However, I use my headset 90% of the time, and the fact that I couldn't easily change the profile with a headset on with WM5 annoyed me.
I wish you could assign a "headset profile" so that the feature isn't gone, just disabled by default... but I like the new method.

No offense taken.
The primary concern that I have with the WM6 way is that I'm required to keep my phone on silent or vibrate while at work. Using it in the car like I do, I keep the phone in a holder on the dash, so I don't feel the vibration when someone calls. In WM5, I could leave it that way, and when I received a call while in headset mode, it rang in my ear. Under WM6, I don't hear a ring, and therefore, I miss calls.
FYI, I had an SDA prior to the Dash, and it had the headset mode as well. Maybe someone will see this and suggest a way to add a profile to this. I'm not educated enough in the WM registry (where I think it would need to be added) to make the attempt.

You know what, after using it some more today, i think it IS better like this. Makes more sense.
My bluetooth rings in my ear on vibrate--- I like it much better then the headset profile and with the voice command it tells me who is calling and from where!!!
Still missing calls while using headset w/ phone on vibrate. Help, please.
I wish they would allow us to create our own profiles. I remember in WM 2003 it allows us to do that.
With reference to this topic of applications:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=323942
can anyone tell me if their Dash/S620 records calls without speaker phone activated (with any of the programs and versions)?
thanx.
I just tested. It records phone calls fine (ie. also non-speakerphone ones).
The only thing is, when you PLAY BACK the file it will only play through speaker.
do you have WM6 or WM5?

Can you also check it with a BT headset - that is, is the other party recorded then too?
OK guys I did all the tests.
I spoke a little too soon....
The problem is, only MY VOICE is recorded. The other party is not. (A little bit can be heard sometimes ; whatever gets from the earpiece to the microphone.)
Tried with BT headset. Same thing. My voice is recorded loud and clear (from the headset's mic) but nothing from the other end!
Playback is ALWAYS through the speakerphone , also with BT HS connected.
I'm disappointed because I was so happy earlier on, automatic call recording was one of my dream features but this solution is not there yet

That's bad news - thanks for testing.
It seems you must stick to, say, the Oxygen if you need flawless call recording but still want to have a WM5 Smartphone in your pocket.
I Think Tornado gives the same opportunity, perhaps it's the WM6 thing..anyway, it seems VITO guys are working on it..nice feature it would be though..
I have the i-mate JASJAM (i.e. Hermes) which has A2DP. I bought the Jabra BT8010 stereo headset with headset profile and stereo profile. When I pair the two, every sound from the phone automatically gets transferred to the headset, which means the phone doesn't ring because the ringtone is also transferred. If I don't have the headset on I don't hear the phone ring.
I spoke to Jabra, they said I have to configure the phone somehow because the headset "just accepts whatever the phone sends".
Any ideas?
hey, same problem here
i have tried a few A2DP headsets(from other manufacturers)and with all of them the ring is streamed to the headset!
can any one help?
Are you kidding me? that's just one of the best things. How else do you know when you have a call when listening music? And why leave the headset paired when you don't use it? if you don't listen to music don't switch on the headset.
I don't always have my headset on my ear, I want the phone to ring. If the headset is disconnected, the phone doesn't always transfer an existing call to the headset if I turn on the headset only after the call has started.
So, I want to know if there is a way not to transfer the call ring (and all other device sound besides the call itself) to the headset...
hi Tsabar
Is the duration of your ringtone set to max?
My ameo rings over BT via my sony BT headphones and then rings half way thru via the phone's loud speaker

yeah, it just keeps ringing in the headset only
I would also like to know how to make the phone ring when the head set is plugged in.
I don't always have the headset in my ears but still want to hear the phone ring. There must be a setting to allow this somewhere.
Any ideas?
exact same problem here
using a htc mozart .. my bt head set picks up all sound, not only music and convo.. so i dont hear if someone calls me unless i wear my headset in my office at all times or turn it off with the need to turn it on (waiting forsync) whenever someone calls me...
thats absolutely stupid, who is the numbwit at Microsoft that got that idea?
actually the sounds (and lack of profiles realy need some work) im using this phone as a 3g business phone including mail, and evrything else..
now im also using the alarm feature but guess what you cannot make it "alarm only" you have to accept all the stupid notification sounds if you want to hear the sound of the alarm.. or like me disable the notifications from t.ex mails to avoi being woken up at night from that.. its so lame.
i can see that a low of features could be refactored on modern dauy phones.. but the win 7 mobile realy disnt do the job (yet).. i would rather wait for office support if i could have profiles..
another realy lousy thing is that you have to buy office 2010 including outlook to sync contacts ..older versions DONT work
Hi.
I have spent months trying replacement VC files and cabs in hope to get consistant Call notifications to various BT ear pieces with no resolution.
Has anyone been able to enable VCs call announcements to reach any BT ear piece.
THX.
Do you mean that your ear piece tells you when a call is coming in? If so I use the Voicecommand cab that's in the add ons for vp36's ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334946&highlight=vp3G.
I also use the little Jabra ear piece: http://www.jabra.com/Sites/Jabra/NA-US/products/Pages/JabraBT8040.aspx
I can initiate Voice Command with it and the ear piece tells me when calls are coming in.
If you are expecting VoiceCommand to tell you the name of who is calling in that you recorded, I don't think it actually does that.
Just read the specs for 1.6 and it looks like it does include what you want. We'll see if we can find a cab for it. If you find it post the link here and I will do the same.
The bottom line is this..You need a headset with the AD2P profile like the one linked above. You also need to install the .cab linked and enable it once installed.
I use the Jabra BT8010 myself..If you don't have a headset with AD2P its not gonna happen so no need to go further.
Now if you have all this like I do then yes notifications with come through the headset. If you want incoming calls announced then goto Start/Settings/Voice Command then highlight phone and click options...check off 'Announce incoming calls' then press ok.
So when I'm driving in my car I can tell if I got a email or txt msg just by the tone I have set for each. If I turn on announce calls then it will say what I have in my contacts.
i need a bt headset that can show or tell me who is calling me.I ride a motorcycle and i need to know who is calling me and to accept or deny the call handsfree.I now have a Jabra bt3030 and the Enhanced sms&call id.I can hear caller id reading sms/mail/notifications BUT not the caller's id.The jabra cant play phone's ringtone,only makes a beep when incoming call.
Anyone knows a bt headset that can do that?
i use android 2.3 phone

I think the jawbone era/icon has that function; not sure though
o0 we have a funny guy here with 11 posts
The Motorola Finiti does also, but it only does saved contacts. It says who is calling and says "say answer or ignore" also it has "stealth mode" that knocks out most wind (up to 45mph) and background noise.
