Hands free oversight

whilst I think the iPhone is amazing in so many ways there are two glaring oversights I think should be addressed ASAP!
1. I have a Bluetooth car kit linked to my iPhone but it cannot be fully hands free as the iPhone does not (as yet) support voice activated dialling. This is necessary for real hands free operation. Any plans in the near future?
2. Linked to this, my car kit has the facility of downloading, via bluetooth, the phone's address book so that it can tell me who is calling and not just their number. The iPhone only offers link to car kit and not data or address transfer using Bluetooth. Again, any plans in the future.
Thanks folks

  • Hands free texting on 2014 Nissan rogue

    Can't get the hands free text assistant to work on car  2014 Nissan rogue. According to Nissan it should work. Did iOS update chane this, and if so, will there be a bug fix?

    ok after testing my theory it doesn't work. After I did some digging I found this on a NICO blog:
    "The text message system that can read and reply to texts does NOT work with iPhones running iOS 7, the latest system. After scratching my head for hours about it I called customer service and was told this; not willing to believe it, I sent an email to Nissan and was told the same thing. Surely there'll be a software update for this, but it's a glaring oversight in the mean time."
    Looks like we are out of luck for right now.

  • How do I make a hands free call with the iphone 4s?

    How do I make a hands free call with the iphone 4s?  I have a bluetooth car device and when I try to talk through it (as I did with my old phone) to call someone it does not work.  so far only hte last person called is redialed.

    That is a carrier-based service. So first you have to make sure your service contract includes that feature.
    It usually also includes Call Hold. So you call the first party, put them on hold, call the second, then reactivate the first. But only if your carrier allows you to.

  • When my iPhone 4S (with ios7) experiences a failed call while connected to my Bluetooth hands free in my car(screen locked) the failed call appears on the locked screen, as it should, then when I unlock the phone it automatically redials the failed call,

    When my iPhone 4S (with ios7) experiences a failed call while connected to my Bluetooth hands free in my car(screen locked) the failed call appears on the locked screen, as it should, the problem arises whenever I unlock the phone, it automatically redials the last failed call, it doesn't do this with missed calls that are on the locked screen, if any. It is really annoying as sometimes the phone doesn't respond to attempts to end the call before it connects to the number. I then have to explain that it was my phone and not me, I look like an idiot, which I don't really need any extra help with!! Does anyone have any ideas? I don't want to stop missed call from showing in the locked screen but it might be associated with the failed calls and therefore be the only resolution

    I have had the same issue which was driving me mad but think I have just found a way around it. In iOS 7 if you swipe up on the lock screen to access quick settings and go into timer then click the home button you get into the phone without calling the person back. Not a great 'fix' but hope it works for you. Come on Apple this isn't good enough, fix this bug otherwise you will lose your customers.

  • Is there a way to disable stereo bluetooth in OS3 but keep Hands Free?

    Hi All,
    I've been a huge fan of my 3G since purchasing it last September and have adored it even more since buying my 2009 Acura TSX. The car and phone seemed built for eachother and have worked seamlessly together since I bought the car in November. Unfortunately, while I also enjoy many of the OS3 upgrades, the OS has made my in-car experience very challenging.
    The TSX has a built-in iPod connector that allows the stereo system to see and control most of the iPod functions (playlists, artists, albums, songs, etc.). The car also supports Hands-free Bluetooth for the phone functions simultaneously. Before the OS3 upgrade, all I had to do was simply plug the iPod connector into the phone, set the stereo to iPod and I was set. Since the OS3 upgrade, it seems that as soon as the phone detects the presence of ANY bluetooth network (presuming my Hands Free), it defaults the audio output to stereo bluetooth rather than the iPod connector. This forces me to have to go into the phone, navigate to the iPod app, select the audio output icon and then select the connector to get the audio to come through the stereo. One day when I own a car stereo that supports stereo bluetooth, I'll be thrilled to know this feature is available, however, presently, I'm dying for the ability to just turn this feature off (like WiFi, except that I need the Hands Free bluetooth capabilities for the phone to remain on). Just tell me how to set the default for audio output to be via the connector as it was before the OS3 upgrade and I'm set.
    Also, before OS3, calls would automatically mute the audio coming from the phone and yet this doesn't seem to happen now - or at least not as seamlessly as it did before. I haven't had a lot of examples of this occurrence to confirm the behavior but it's definitely happened at least once (music keeps playing after the call starts) and I presume it's related.
    Thanks for any help/guidance you can provide. This is my only real complaint with the phone especially since it represents a loss of convenience and functionality for me.

    Hi Chuckee63,
    Thanks for the reply. Like you I eventually stumbled into the slow-down-and-wait solution as well. That has been serving me for about a month now. It's still annoying, though (I'm sure you'll agree) if you stop someplace quickly, leave the phone and get back in the car and have to disconnect and reconnect the phone.
    You're right about the TSX stereo supporting Bluetooth. I mistakenly thought it didn't when I wrote my original post. The Bluetooth option in the car is interesting. It's cool that it "kinda" works, but the next and previous options don't work and I occasionally get interference when listening via that method. I hate the lack of control I have via the stereo bluetooth interface. I also am rather disappointed with how much of an inconvenience got introduced with the iPhone OS3 upgrade. It was just about perfect beforehand.
    Anyhow, thanks for the response. Let's keep eachother informed if we have any other breakthroughs/better work-arounds!

  • Iphone 2.0 update no longer working with Chrysler Uconnect Hands Free

    Hello. I recently downloaded the 2.0 update for my original iphone and it will no longer work with the my Uconnect hands free setup in my 2008 Dodge Ram. I am a Chrysler Dealer Parts Manager and have installed and shown many people how to set these uconnect hands free devices up but I have no connection with the 2.0 update. I pair the phone as a new phone and it will pair but will not show up at all and it says "No Phone". Anybody know a fix for this. Help Apple!!!

    I have a new Dodge Nitro. U Connect and iphone were working great. I had no problems until the 2.0 update. I tried calling apple care but gave up quickly when I realized I was going to be waiting forever with everything else they have going on.
    The weird thing was that I was on a call trying to get some help from a friend of mine and all of a sudden the phone started working with the u connect. Then after leaving and returning to the car it stopped working again. Haven't been able to get it working since. I though maybe you had to be on a call for a while before it would transfer over. That wasn't it.
    I tried turning off wireless too. Again no effect.
    The phone shows that it is paired with the u connect. I've tried unpairing and repairing several times still to no effect. They just aren't working. This is a HUGE problem. I love my iPhone but may have to give it up and switch if they don't come up with a fix in the next month or so.
    Anybody who can help me solve this would definitely move to the top of my Christmas Card List!

  • Does the ipod nano 7th gen work with Belkin Blue tooth In car hands free? Customer support said it did when I bought it, but the box doesn't say it does and I dont want to open it in case I have to return it.

    Does the ipod nano 7th gen work with Belkin Blue tooth In car hands free? Customer support said it did when I bought it, but the box doesn't say it does and I dont want to open it in case I have to return it.

    If the Belkin supports the A2DP (Stereo Bluetooth) profile then it will work.

  • I have a Tritton TRI-BC200 hands free device that my iPhone 5 no longer "sees" on Bluetooth, so, I cannot pair the device. Anyone have a suggestion? Tritton no longer supports the device.

    I have a Tritton TRI-BC200 hands free device that my iPhone 5 no longer "sees" on Bluetooth, so, I cannot pair the device. Anyone have a suggestion? Tritton no longer supports the device.

    I had this problem and what I did was: read the user manual. I was actually using the wrong buttons to put the Tri-BC200 on pairing mode. I also boot my I phone. Everything worked OK. Regards.

  • IPhone 3Gs no longer connects to my Blue Tooth hands free cars

    Within the last week, there appears to be a software update to my iPhone 3Gs. Since that time, my phone can no longer be paired with the hands free blue tooth options in both of my vehicles. The first vehicle is a 2010 Lincoln MKX with Sync and my other vehicle is a 2010 Volvo C30. Have other people experienced this? I have updated the connection between the phone and both vehicles. If I cannot get this fixed it looks like my iPhone is useless as a phone with blue tooth.

    Problem solved!! I finally managed to pair the SE HCB-100 car kit speakerphone with the 3GS. I surfed the SE web site and it mentioned resetting the speakerphone. Tried it on 'one color ID' but it didn't work so I did it on all 'color IDs' and left it on reset mode when it 'accidentally' was picked up by my 3GS while searching!!! Found 'headset' and then recognised it as HCB-100. One happy guy for the holidays!!!

  • HELP !!! hands free paring bb bluetooth with car stereo 2011 kia sorento

    I was able to pair my bb 8530 curve with my kia sorento 2011 car stereo via Bluetooth,  but  once  I leave the car, and come back the connections  always  fail.
    I do have my Bluetooth "discoverable"
    on my option settings I have only check mark "hands free", "audio source" & "A/v source"

    this are the instructioin I used to  fixed it. In Bluetooth Options unchecked all items on the Services list except Handsfree. The then deleted the Kia from the BB and the BB from the Kia. I then paired again, in options on the BB I changed Discoverable to "No" and then on BB in Sorento Device Properties change Encryption to "Disabled". This has worked almost 2 weeks now with no new issues.

  • Bluetooth connection to car hands free

    i have a motorola car hands free kit installed with my old 6230i the connection was automatic but i now have a 5500 sport this needs to be re-installed every time i get into my van does anyone know why or is the sport a H.O.S

    If you try resetting your motorola car kit ( i dont know how) then pair your phone again this should work. also in your phone bluetooth settings see if you can change the motorola kit to automatically authuorise connections. It sound like the kit is still looking for your 6230i which needs to be deleted.

  • Having trouble using my 9720 connecting to car hands free kit

    Hi, i am utterly frustrated with my company blackberry 9720 phone. The trouble i am having is with the car hands free kit, my skoda superb uses the bluetooth premium and cannot use the normal hands free setting like with my Iphone. The problem i am having is firstly connecting, i can only use the bluetooth premuim, which completly changes all the setting on the phone i.e turns the network off on the phone and then a screen pops up saying running SAP mode (must use an ittenna in car?), which in turn stops emails from coming in, i can stupidly write texts messages on my dash board and receive them and read them on my dash board while driving. So when i remove the keys from the ignition the phone does not put the phone back to its normal working settings, it keeps the network switched off i have to go to settings and turn the network on. Thirdly when i turn the car on the phone will not connect automatically it says cannot connect to mobile, but if i switch the phone off and on it automatically connects, but if by the grace of god it does connect an second time the phone crashes and resets and then connects five minutes later after reseting. forthly this is not an phone issue it is definatly software as i have been given an second 9720 and the fault is present on both phones.
    can anyone help

    as I believe it a car bluetooth hands free can only be paired to one device . ie if you wish to pair with another device you would have to reset back to default and search again.... so does the cuve work if you reset the bury and pair again but then your other phone does not work with it ... this is logical as if we drove down a motorway we would pick up loadsa phones.... therefor we can only pair to one device

  • Nokia Lumia 1520 is not connecting to my hands-fre...

    I've now changed my phone (1520, Yellow) to the UK code (059V051) and installed the Cyan update. Everything is working well, except for for one major problem with Bluetooth.
    My hands-free car kit worked seamlessly until I installed the 8.1 Developer Preview. After which the phone would only connect as "Connected Voice" if I removed the configuration from the phone and paired again. I would then need to make a call within about 10 seconds or I'd loose the connection and have to start the whole process over again.
    I basically have exactly the same problem with the Nokia Cyan update, except that on making the call the connection is immediately dropped. So is totally unusable.
    I stress that it worked without a problem for several months prior to the Developer Preview install.

    Microsoft Blue&Me? On which version are you? Blue&Me » Settings » Advanced Options » Image ID, if that menu option shown, your have the 2nd generation of Blue&Me. I guess you use the first generation. Therefore, are you at version 5.6?
