Use CarPC As BT Voice Gateway

bratnetwork · #1 (**permalink**) 10-27-2009, 10:22 PM

I have a PC computer in my car that I use for many thing and I want to integrate my phone into it by using a Bluetooth voice gateway to play the sound over the speakers in the car and use a mic to talk into. Obviously since this is the Rhodium forum I have a Touch Pro 2 (by Verizon) running OEM ROM. The PC is running XP SP2 with Widcomm bluetooth stack.

Making calls I have no problems. When I'm in range it connects and when I make a call its flawless. The problem is when I get a call. When a call comes in it rings once then answers without me doing anything. And no its not the auto answer feature on a headset (i know that would be the first reply if i didnt say that). The issue is that even though there is a BT link to the PC the voice gateway doesn't connect until in a call. When i make one it connects when i hit send to dial, when i receive a call it connects when it starts to ring and once there is a connection it answers. It would be bad if im driving and someone calls i dont want to talk to or something and it just answers without me knowing.

I tested this theory with my regular BT headset. I had the headset off and I called the phone and once it started ringing i turned on the head set and sure enough it answered.

My question is how do i get it to hold a solid connection all the time like a normal BT headset would? Or make it not answer once a headset is connected?

I tried using the BlueSoleil BT stack also. This one worked ok once everything was connected but every time I came back in range of the PC or turned the PC on I would have to manually connect the voice gateway again.

I had the same issues with my XV6800 (Titan) and never got it to work right either.

Thanks for any help!

Open up the phone app and navigate to Menu>Option... In here somewhere, depending on your ROM, you should see a setting for "Automatic Pickup"... Make sure Headset is unchecked... This should stop the auto-pickup feature that you are experiencing...

Hope this helps...

This was the first thing i tried, and ive checked it again and again. i even tried turning it on and seeing then if it would wait till those number of rings to answer with no luck.

it has to be something to do with that since it think ur activating ur BT device at the time that it ringing that u want to answer it. so either i need to figure out how get it just connect without answering or to connect and stay connected when in range like a normal headset would.

sounds like a carpc forum question, to be honest.

I'm active of a few CarPC site, mostly mp3car.com. I asked there a while ago w/o really any response. A lot of people have working phone through BT and Serial connection to their PCs but no one seems to get it to work properly with WiMo based phones. I just found a thread on there that has some modes to and info on connecting BT phones and editing some files and stuff and I'll test it out maybe later today if i have time when i get home.

But still if there are any more ideas I'm open for suggestions
