I'm not saying it won't happen at all ever, but it's not just as simple as a reg hack or a couple files.

Maybe this is HTC's way of agreeing with me that bluetooth headsets should be banned, lol...

We realize this, but my purpose in creating this thread was to get some of our chefs working on it and give them the financial incentive to do so, so that the solution will be available when the HardSPL comes out. I'd do it myself but I don't have the knowledge.

For some of us, not using a headset is not an option. I drive a stick so I'm one of those people, and trying to dig my phone out and get it out of its case to hang it up when you hit someone's voicemail while shifting, steering, and trying not to hit the person in front of you defeats the whole purpose of using a headset.

So set up a donation account on paypal and post a link here. Then keep updating the available balance in the account on this thread. However, I have no problem with the widcomm bluetooth stack except that my bluetooth headset sometimes needs two clicks to hang up and that my car bluetooth takes forever to hang up. Otherwise everything else works fine.

I have a personal paypal account, but I've never set one up to accept donations before. Perhaps you could direct me as to how this can be done?

Works fine for me, but the MS stack is better so I will donate $5 for a working MS BT Stack.

Oh don't get me wrong... I understand all the reasons for using them, lol... it was a joke really.

And I think you're going to get plenty of ROM chefs who agree with putting the MS stack in their kitchens rather than WIDCOMM, but I've also seen a few that have already posted that they view the WIDCOMM to be superior and they won't go back. In any case, I think you'll not have a problem finding ones that do choose to use it.

All bt headsets are gay, everytime i see a person that talks on one while looking straight at me makes me very violent, but i do agree its very usefull in the car or when you need both hands for washing your dog, just please dont wear it while walking down the street. I have a premier business paypal account with excellent feedback of about 8 years, if i can help(i dont have the problem with bt set though) let me know

I have a novel idea, how about waiting until your car is stopped so you can do this safely instead of endangering yourself & everyone on the road around you??

I agree, for the moment that appears to be the only prudent option for some people with this phone. I just think that after all the hype and anticipation, it's just pretty frustrating to be derailed by something as basic as this. The hope in buying a high end phone is that it will be able to do basic things like hang up under what are commonly accepted as normal usage conditions.

There are a lot of smart people around here whose talents could probably be put to use in solving the issue. We're just trying to get some help with that.

Not trying to bait anyone or get myself flamed, it just seems like this particular problem is being discounted by most people, either because they don't have the problem, or because they wouldn't be caught dead wearing a BT headset in the first place.

I gave up on BT headset for any windows phone. I have a Blueant BT speaker in my car that's really of no use along with a Plantronic, and jawbone 1. Luckily the speaker on the TP2 is great so I just leave it on the dash board in speaker mode when on a call. No complaints on the other end compared to when I'm using any type of BT device.

That is a novel idea.

I propose we boycott drive-thru restaurants as well. Maybe even start a petition to ban radios from cars. Way to much stuff that could possibly distract a driver now a days.

At least if we had a working hands-free device for our phones we could use both hands to drive. I've never seen anybody eat McDonalds hands free. Just my $ 0.02
