judas Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Well, I got my bluetooth module the other day and so far so not impressed Got it paired with my phone fine (02 XDA Exec), can use voice dialing ok. Problem is is doesn't want to pass the actual call through to the hands-free system - so the once the call connects it's still coming out of my phone! Anyone else had this problem and, more importantly, found a solution? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else had this problem and, more importantly, found a solution? Tbh mate, that sounds like a setting on the phone. For example, my Sony Ericsson K750i has a setting that even on handsfree..... will allow you to take the call on the phone. Might be set to still take in the phone...... have you double checked..... ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoREoD Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 No problem like that on mine. Doesn't help much but thought I'd let you know!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesterfield Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Ive done a little digging, and it appears that the xda exec has its own speakers for hands free calling, however, you can turn this feature off by pressing and holding the talk button. This should send the speaker signal to the device you have it plugged into instead. I cant find anywhere whether you have to do this with every call (which would be a bit strange as it would defeat the object of them trying to sell their own hands free kits with earphones etc) - or whether once you have done it, it turns the speakers off permanently (until you hold the talk button again). Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teddyonholiday Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 The XDA has several software versions and the latest has this speaker phone feature sorted. Try downloading the latest software for the XDA from your provider it has cured several similar faults with in-car kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judas Posted July 12, 2006 Author Share Posted July 12, 2006 Thanks folks - I've been reluctant to install the latest ROM image on the phone as it's supposedly even slower than previous versions. Guess I'll have to bite the bullet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My XDA Exec also has had problems with bluetooth, as teddy said the new version helps, have you dropped it? last problem I had was the bluetooth connection kept dropping half way through conversations, basically the motherboard had cracked, according to O2 technical, this can cause serval problems with the bluetooth settings.

It works (more or less) ok with my Bluetooth headset and certainly doesn't have the same kind of problem where the voice isn't passed through but everything else works. I've had several different MS smartphones since they were first launched (what does this say about my inability to learn from past mistakes ) all of which have had issues of one sort or another - I really should just get an ordinary phone and stop being seduced by promises of convergent technology Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no problems with the Bluetooth (tempting fate now!) and the symbian software works well. It automatically pairs with the BT adapter every time without fail.

judas Posted July 17, 2006 Author Share Posted July 17, 2006 Ok - so we're bimbling along in the car today and my phone rings and the bluetooth kit picks it up and it actually works. Then the phone rings again a bit later and it doesn't pick it up. Next call it does. WTF?!?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quicks Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Guys, sorry to hijack a bit, but I am assuming this is the Nissan bluetooth module that has been delayed? Is it now available then, as it should have been on my 06 when I bought it a couple of months ago, but apparently it was not ready. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
