ring through bluetooth (Voice Caller ID) - Hero CDMA General

I love my new Sprint Hero, but I have one problem. 90% of the time I have my Plantronics 975 bluetooth in my ear.
Problem is the phone rings it does not pass through to bluetooth. I am a DirecTv installer and up and down ladders, in crawlspaces etc. There are apps in marketplace that change your ringer to read the Caller ID to you. However because this phone only makes my bluetooth beep and not ring with the ringer, I get the callers name read out loud through speaker, not bluetooth. That does not work when with a customer.
Any help???

Making the phone ring while BT headset is connected

I am using the Bluespoon AX with the JasJar. It uses the hands-free profile.
The most annoying thing is the phone does not ring when the headset is in connected mode. It makes the headset ring, but that requires me having it in my ear all the time.
Is there a registry setting or something that will make the phone ring as well?
I'm using a Jabra BT200 and my headset rings as well as the phone when I receive a call, which is effectively what you're looking to do.
Anyone else have theirs do this already?

Nokia Hs-12w Orange SPV M600

I have the SPV M600 and I use the Nokia HS-12W. A2DP works fine and the appropriate wireless stereo and headset profiles are loaded. The problem is when listening to music and a call comes in, the music stops playing and I can accept the call, I can hear the caller but they cant hear me, I've checked to ensure the mute function isnt active on either the phone and the nokia headset but no matter what I do, the caller cant hear me. This happens about 4 out of every 5 calls, its gotten so bad I no longer use the headset for answering calls, just for listening to music. Has anyone seen this before or know why the mic doesnt seem to be transfering audio when I receive a call. Also this sometims happens even when I'm not listening to music and a call is recieved. Do I have a hardware fault wuth the phone or the headset? As i said, it doesnt happen everytime, about 80% of the time.

Bluetooth Handsfree problem: answering from the handset

HI all,
I got a t-mobile Vario II and have a plantronics 655 handsfree. I have searched the forum but found nothing that answers my problem.
I want to be able to answer a call from the phone and when the handsfree is paired the sound to come through the handsfree. I have tried a few handsfree kits but none seem to work and all the calls come through the phone until i pull the handsfree out of my ear hit answer n put it back in. Am i missing something? I want to be able to answer a call from the phone and talk through my handsfree. When i make a phone call however from the phone it works fine and the sound comes through the handsfree like it should.
I read something about a handsfree profile...where is that? i don't have a handsfree profile option on my phone. Is it an add-on. I tried the handsfree with my ericsson phone and when u answer from the phone it asks if i want the audio through the handset or the handsfree..
hellpppppp...its driving me madd lol
I Take it no one knows the answer to this or has created a patch? Does everyone answer there phone from the answer button on the bluetooth handsfree then? ??
What you are trying to do, is contrary to the feature designed into your dialer. When you answer the phone call from the phone instead of the connected headset, you obviously wanted to talk via the phone not the headset so that is where it routes the call. You can get it back to the headset after you answered on your phone by selecting the menu option and selecting "Turn Handsfree On".
similar issue
I have an ATT branded 8525, and a Motorola H550.
I'm using the built in voice dialer, as I really don't feel like shelling out any more money for voice commander, when I'm paying for the spb products I have (pocketplus, mobile shell, and phone suite).
With other phones, I could use the phone (by hand) to dial a number, while wearing the BT headset, and it would automatically put the conversation on the phone.
This doesn't.
Also, when I receive a call, I don't get the ringtones I have selected for specific callers, just a generic beep.

That issue is actually unrelated. The issue that arnie_ahu has is trying to do something differently than the phone design. However, your issue is a real issue. Dialing on the phone and pressing call should send the call to the headset if it is connected properly. The ony conclusion I can think of is that it is not connected properly as a headset.
In my experience, this is Bluetooth device specific. When I use my Jawbone, I can answer on the phone and the conversation will be on the Jawbone. However, if I use a Plantronics 320 and answer on the phone, the conversation will be on the phone.
The reason why I answer using the phone instead of using the Bluetooth headset is out of courtesy to the caller. For some reason, when I answer with a Bluetooth device, the caller hears a very loud sound that is reminiscent of a fog horn. I have experienced this with multiple phones and headsets. I am guessing this is related to the Bluetooth handshake.
edited: spelling correction.
It may be (for me) because I am using mp3 ringtones on a mono earpiece.
From what I have found on line, that won't work with WM5, which sucks, because it worked on my old piece of crap nokia 6230.
Why oh why must this be so hard?
Now I have to try and convert the mp3 ringtones I made from full songs to something the phone will use.

Bluetooth during incoming call ?

Hi,
After a long time i have restarted to use bluetooth headset and i have to travel to work .
Just one question to experts.
During incoming call i hear a ringtone in my bluetooth headset and handset but when i answer the call the conversation works only in the handset. I have to select handsfree mode after i answer the call to talk through the bluetooth headset.
Is there a way to make bluetooth work first, instead of having to transfer the call to the headset ?
Edit :I am using WM6.5 rom and nokia hb 103 bluetooth stereo headset
I thought i found something but i was wrong.
A bump to get some notice

[Q] Is There a talking caller id that works through bluetooth?

I've tried several in the app store, including two that i purchased. None seem capable of speaking the caller id through the bluetooth headset. My phone rings through the BT. I have no problem listening to a phone conversation, or music, or netflix through the BT. Why is it that the sound from a caller id program cannot be played through the BT?
