Using headset with the Octane

I'm trying two different headsets to see how well they work with my LG Octane for handsfree usage.  One of the headsets has a button a few inches down from the earbud and one has no such button.
Neither one rings in the ear when a call comes in although the phone announces number, vibrates, and rings (that's the way I have it set).  Do I need to change settings in the phone to hear incoming calls in the earbud, such as Phone Settings, Voice Commands, Prompts, Earpiece -- or does that have nothing to do with incoming calls?
For making calls handsfree, I see no way to do that with the no-button headset.  Am I missing something?  With the other headset (with button), if I press button briefly it dials last call made.  If I press and hold the button it puts me into voice command and I can (hopefully) speak the command/person/etc. that I want to call or do.
What am I missing?  Is there another type of headset I should be looking for?
I believe with my prior phone, the LG VX6100, its Driving Mode made all this work better.

Hello Bernie157a,
I'm happy to hear that you are shopping for an earpiece! Handsfree devices allows us to continue calls while providing our hands the freedom to focus on other tasks such as driving. May I ask what make & model earpieces were you comparing? The capability of an earpieces vary based on manufactures and the model phone that they are designed for. For example, Motorola earpiece works seamlessly with Motorola devices. If you would like to compare our selection of earpieces then I have provided a link below.

The LG Octane has several audio settings that can be adjusted by none of which for the wired earpieces. For troubleshooting purposes, I would recommend turning off the features that announce the phone number when you receive a call then try both earpieces for the ringer. Let me know if this works for you.
Happy earpiece shopping!

  • Using headset with ipod touch and Skype

    Trying to use headset with jack adapter on ipod touch using skype. Audio out is fine but mic doesn't seem to work. Will this work, or will I have to switch to the Apple earbuds with mic?

    I have successfully tested Skype using a $20 pair of GE ear buds with microphone. It used the correct iPod Touch earphone/microphone jack.
    I've also used this with voice recorder software, and so has my wife.

  • I have trouble connecting a Headset with the Speck Candyshell case installed

    I have a iPhone 4 with aCandyShell case. I do not like the headset that comes with the iPhone as it hurts my ears, and while I can plug in that headset with the CandyShell installed I would like to use a different headset... ideally a Sony MDR V300 that I have, but the plug on that is too bulky to plug into the phone with the CandyShell installed.  I would like to know if there are any sort of adapters that would fit the headset receptacle on the iphone  with the Candyshell installed, and let me connect the Sony headset to it.  Also I wonder if the iPhone requires a special connection... I see that the Sony appears to have only two insulator bands around the plug while the Apple one appears to have three.  Thank you.

  • I purchased songs from 2 different computers using itunes with the same apple id. I had 1 iPod I used for these but I just recently got an iPhone and I was wondering why it wasn't letting me put my purchased songs on my iPhone?

    I purchased songs from 2 different computers using itunes with the same apple id. I had 1 iPod I used for these but I just recently got an iPhone and I was wondering why it wasn't letting me put my purchased songs on my iPhone?

    You can transfer iTunes content from an iTunes library on a single computer only.
    Since these songs were purchased with the same iTunes account, you can download the song that is not in your iTunes library on the computer you will be syncing your iPhone with. Or you can download the song or songs direct on your iPhone.

  • Can I purchase an iphone3g and then use it with the apple golf app as a golf gps without having to be on a cell plan or data plan?

    If I purchase an iPhone 3g, can I then use it with the apple golf app without having cell or data service?

    You do not need have cell service for the GPS to work.
    If the iphone is new, then you would have to activate it with a carrier in order for it to work at all.
    If it is used, then you can use it without wireless service:

  • I have purchased a eos 6d. When I use it with the iPhone app the connection dies after about five m

    I have a 6d and when I use it with the iPhone app the camera turns off after about five minutes and the connection is lost. So when I am photographing wild life I keep having to break cover to reactivate the connection. Is this correct or is there a way to keep the connection alive.

    You just need to go into the menu and set the camera's sleep mode to "off" or "never". It sounds as if it's currently set to 5 minutes.
    Letting the camera sit active continuously, i.e. preventing it from going into sleep mode, will drain the battery(ies) a lot faster. I don't have a 6D, nor do I leave them on full time (in fact I set sleep mode to a very short duration, since tapping any button on the camera quickly re-awakens it).... so I really don't know how quickly a battery will drain. But you might be prepared with spares. If battery life is too short for you purposes, you could add a battery grip which will double the battery capacity.

    I use lightroom with the soft proofing feature for my printing. I used to make a copy proof, but all of the sudden something changed, and even if I'm on the copy in the developing mode it prints the original. Also, If i chose a file that was already in light room to print, even though I have the chosen file up in the developing mode, it will instead print the most recent file that I added to lightroom. If found a way to work around these problems, (check make this the copy in the soft proofing, and copy my settings and delete and reload the old files) but it's a slight hassle and it didn't use to do this. Not sure why it changed. Could I have accidentally changed a setting?

  • How to use labview with the handyboard

    Hi,
    how to use labview with the handyboard
    Thx...

    I'm assuming you're talking about this, since you didn't provide a link for those of us who don't know what you're talking about.
    As the other poster said, you didn't say how you want to use LabVIEW with it.  If you want to write LabVIEW programs than run on the microprocessor, then you're out of luck.  If you want LabVIEW to interact with it, then you've got a couple of options, SPI probably being the best, but it also has DI and AI that you could use to communicate with it - the DI's could be used as a parallel interface.

  • Passing values to an internal table and use it with the table painter

    Hi,
    I have seen this topic here before but the answers didn't help me. Maybe I,m doing something wrong.
    The problem is that I defined the following structure on the |Types| tab of the |Global Definitions| section:
    TYPES: BEGIN OF DETAILS,
           EBELP  TYPE EKPO-EBELP,
           BSMNG  TYPE EBAN-BSMNG,
           LFDAT  TYPE RM06P-LFDAT,
    END OF DETAILS.
    Then defined the following definition on the |Global Data| section:
    WA_DETAILS TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF DETAILS WITH HEADER LINE
    The problem is that when I try to assign a value to one of the fields in the program code like this:
    LOOP AT WA_EKPO.
         WA_DETAILS-EBELP = WA_EKPO-EBELP.
         WA_DETAILS-EMATN = WA_EKPO-EMATN.
         MODIFY WA_DETAILS.
    ENDLOOP.
    gives me the following error:
    "WA_DETAILS" is not an internal table -the "OCCURS n" specification is missing.
    Then if I add the "OCCURS 10" to the definition of the Global Data the error "OCCURS 10" is not expected.
    How can I define, assign values and use as a parameter an internal table defined with types for use it with the table painter?

    Hi,
    if it is one record in wa_details. you can directly write as follows..
    REPORT  ZCR_TEST1                               .
    TYPES: BEGIN OF details,
              ebelp TYPE ekpo-ebelp,
              bsmng TYPE eban-bsmng,
              lfdat TYPE rm06p-lfdat,
              ematn TYPE ekpo-ematn,
           END OF details.
    DATA: wa_details TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF details WITH HEADER LINE,
          wa_ekpo    TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF details WITH HEADER LINE.
    wa_details-ebelp = '1'.
    append wa_details.
    wa_ekpo-ebelp = '3'.
    append wa_ekpo.
    LOOP AT wa_ekpo.
      wa_ekpo-ebelp = wa_details-ebelp.
      wa_ekpo-ematn = wa_details-ematn.
      modify wa_ekpo.
    endloop.
    Normally it wont be one record, so u need to put <b>read statement with key</b> in LOOP and ENDLOOP.

  • Can you use IMAP with the ipads mail feature?

    Can you use IMAP with the ipads mail feature?

    Kappy,
    Yes, our domain and email accounts are on a server that does accept IMAP. Also, our mac mini and imacs are all set up for IMAP. Buying an ipad will enable me to work from home during this winter.
    Another ?: do you know if you can use text edit with the iPads mail feature? Reason being we have about 100 generic emails that all we have to do is change a few fields before sending out. Can this be integrated in without having to recreate all these messages?
