I've got one right now that works nicely, except my phone doesn't disconnect from it when I leave my car and go into my apartment. If it runs out of battery power, it does not turn on automatically. I plan on buying another that powers on automatically and ripping out or killing the battery so that it only stays on when getting powered on by the car.
I'd like one that:
Turns itself on after losing power
Auto Connects to my phone
Has a built in speaker (instead of using the car's speakers)
I'd prefer it to have suction cups to mount on the windshield, but I can always easily attach it myself.
I'd prefer no voices telling me it's powering on/connecting
I thought I found one that would auto turn on with power as it has a physical switch to power on, but then saw this youtube video and think the voice would get very annoying very quickly. It depends on how loud the voice actually is in person I guess.

I recommend JABRA Speakerphone. Most of them has many feature like auto connect, auto on-off, etc.
Jabra FREEWAY Bluetooth Speakerphone
Jabra DRIVE Bluetooth In-Car Speakerphone
Jabra TOUR Bluetooth In-Car Speakerphone
Hopes help.

I work from home as an Executive Recruiter. I am on the phone literally 10 hours a day non-stop. I tend to pace around while I work so I need a headset that provides me mobility. I also like the sound coming into both ears in stereo as it sounds more natural.
I hate how most BT headsets hook onto your ear or shove an earpiece in your ear. After 10 hours of that your ears can get pretty sore. Last (and most important point) I MUST have a boom mic. My clients don't want me to sound like I am talking on speaker phone or from the bottom of a well. If my voice sounds digitized and robotic, I am not able to connect with the customer because there is no warmth to my voice.
Anyway, all that being said, I saw this:

and it was on sale for $29.99 and has 12 hour talk time. For that price, had to pull the trigger. Hope I won't be disappointed.
P.S. And no, I won't be wearing this walking down the street - lol - for home office use only.

It seems to be a common problem specific to Samsung models. I'm wondering if they have fixed it in their new devices.
I'm on an SGS4G now, and waiting to get the Note 2 when it's launched here in the U.S
Here's the scenario:
I have my phone mounted on my dash in my truck. Listening to podcasts by running out of the 3.5 headphone jack and plugged into the aux. input on my dash stereo. If at this point I have the bluetooth connected, then the audio only comes out of my bluetooth. If I don't have BT connected, then the audio comes out the truck speakers.Which is good. However, when I get an incoming call, I have to
a. Unplug 3.5 from phone
b. power on BT headset
c. press BT power button in toggle bar on phone
d. wait for them to scan and connect
thus missing the phone call.
From what I have found online, Samsung is the only company that has this issue. It seems like with HTC, Lg etc. the phone has an option for the user to change in settings to change to bluetooth on incoming call automatically.
Can anyone confirm if this is an issue with the Note 2?
Thanks~
Disconnect "Media Audio" from the settings for your Bluetooth headset and you can get audio out via the headphone port, and still have calls routed to your BT headset.
Regards,
Dave

So, I love this phone and hate it at the same time.
First off, just at random, the BT, Wi-Fi or GPS will just turn off. Has not happened for a couple days, nothing has really changed.
Now the big issues. These are driving me nuts....
I have a Pyle PLDN74BTi (don't laugh, it was dirt cheap) and it supports Bluetooth audio and tagging and speakerphone from a BT phone. All the features work except the tagging. I cannot get BT to display the audio info or the phone info.
Second, I just bought an iBolt xProDockX. When I dock it, the phone recognizes its docked, but it will not open the doc app upon dock. I look in the default apps, and the dock isn't even listed. I purchased Car Home Ultra and it wont auto open, I even install the dock&drive app from iBolt and it wont auto open upon docking either.
Anyone else having these stupid issues with their phone? I have cleared all the apps, and I have restarted the phone. No Dice.
You posted this in the S3 forum, not the Note 3... I doubt you will get any help here

****! Sorry. I don't know what happened.
As always we welcome new & cool things around the world, while surfing on net i found out this .....seems cool haa!!.....So I thought I should share with you....afterall we are technology lovers.
OVEVO launched their next smart gadget as OVEVO Q8. Lets start the intro.
Well, It's usually illegal to answer a phone call while driving,people would go for an additional bluetooth headset. Ovevo makes the most outyour car charger by applying a button-like magnetic bluetooth headset on it.

You could just leave the Ovevo Q8 in the cigarette lighter,and bluetooth headset charges automatically. Besides, The headset will be automatically turned on whenthe car starts, and turned off when the engine stops.
It offers the operation that couldn't be easier. Press theonly button to answer and hang up by putting it back to the charger.
A sa car charger, it supports all types of electronics, Android, iPhones, tablets,PCs etc. The Built-in intelligent IC detection protects your devices from overcurrent, over voltage, leakage, and short circuit. It automatically chooses a fast and most efficient mode to charge.

Hi, my friend just reviewed it also in video:

My S20+ has had this problem almost as long as I've had my vehicle (with Ford sync 3). For whatever reason, if I take an incoming call on Bluetooth, about 80% of the time, there is no audio - I can't hear them and they can't hear me.
To troubleshoot I have to switch to speaker, then we can both hear each other.
If I'm on Android auto (wired), I have to unplug, then hit speaker.
My wife's Galaxy S21 ultra never does this.
It never happens on outgoing calls.
It seems equally likely to happen whether I'm using the phone for Bluetooth media (podcast app, separate music app both seem equally likely) or not using it for audio at all (i.e. Just listening to the radio)
It seems equally likely to happen whether I'm on Android auto (wired) or just connected to Bluetooth the old school way.
The only commonality is that it's on incoming calls on Bluetooth. I've been unable to identify what factor is different on those rare occasions when it does work
Twice I've tried completely unpairing and starting fresh. That seems to work, temporarily. But eventually it goes back to its old ways, so this is not a solution.
Are there a few developer options I may want to try checking on or off to see if they'll help? I don't want to go messing with that stuff unless it's recommended by someone here. Any other ideas?
