I have a couple of qustions :-
Anybody here manage to get the caller name feature to play through the Kit itself rather than just the Phone?
Can you change the way it rings?
How come magic word doesn't work?
And lastly maybe the settings can be changed via Bluetooth conection to PC? |

Hey whats up,
I posted a question , about the performance in general of the car kit and the guys replay with a thread here it is ,
http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=14578&forum=15
If you find something about it posted here , cause i'm interested in the car kit and wanna get any info on it regarding its performance .
About the magic word , I THINK that the phone needs to be searching for it at all times for it to work , don't know exactly how to do it , but i thinks thats how it works , an it will drain your battery pretty quickly.
Try searching here , "bluetooth hands free" cause i know there was a message exlaining about the magic word an how it works with the handsfree, hope it helps ....... |

Sorry! I saw that thread but the title of it is -
"HCB-30 Bluetooth carkit release date"
I read it and it seemed to have been resolved, Thats why i started a new thread!
If anybody wants any further detail on it like call quality etc please post here!
I don't think many people own it though!..... How many people have bought one?
Still cant get magic word working though and it deffinately doesn't work with headsets because of the battery drain! But this is not a problem as both the phone and the car kit are powered when in the car. I don't see many options in the phone menu for it either. I have set the bluetooth mode of operation to "On" Voice answer etc all work!

I use the HCB 30 with my T39. There are several problems I am having
a) when I start my car, the phone does not connect with the HF automatically, I have to push the green button to get the LED signal green.
b) even if I am connected (green LED is on) I still can't use the magic word...
c) when I receive a call, I had not been able to answer or refuse the call using voice commands
d) the caller name is not announced through the HF
e) when I finish the call, the phone disconnects from the HF, even if I had been previously connected (green LED).
Anybody any comments / fixes to these problems???

So which is it guys?
Thread http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=14578&forum=15&start=20 seems generally positive, this one not so much. Am contemplating getting the kit but in 2 minds now. |

caller name anounced thru the HF? Where did you get this info?
Phone disconnect from the HF? do you mean Bluetooth or the phone disconnect when the receiver or you the user hang up the phone? |

I dont know if it should anounce through the hands free but, why cant it? Seems stupid to me!
@Omar I dont have the connection problem that the guy with the T39 has so that is one positive thing going for it! Call quallity is also very good (I have the advanced mute kit also) It's a great kit but i find the voice controll for answering a little hit and miss! Voice dialing works good although you have to press the button on the remote to activate it.
I would just like to change the way it rings and have magic word working!

@Stepan
Are you sure it wired correctly to the ignition sense wire?
Or maybe your Bluetooth is set to "Automatic" and this is causing it not to stay connected? Mine is set to "On" all the time and it works fine!
I will try to change some settings on mine to replicate the problem!
If you've not had your firmware updated on the phone then i would recommend this also! |

annouced here mean we mention the ppl we want to call or the car kit mention the caller name in your phone book when tht person call you??? I was thinking he is talking about the latter....tht might cost more than the price we get now hehehe.
voice dialling and those magic word should be working but sometimes if the bluetooth operation mode on the phone is automatic.....then those function might not work. |

Stepan.
For the phone to announce the name , it should be recorded with your voice in your phone , i mean , same as voice dialing , for example when you use voice dialing you should record the name tag , so when you want to make a call using voice dialing you say the name .
Same is use to announce the name , if the number has a voice tag then you should hear it trough the hands free , but you need to activate it , for example in my t39 you go to, settings, voice control , voice settings, caller name , activate it.
With this you can hear the callers name trough the hf, with the voice tag that you recorded .
BUT YOU NEED TO HAVE A VOICE TAG !!!!!, other wise you'll hear nothing.
You can even tested , for example , save your home number , and ad voice tag for example " Home", so , when you call from home you'll hear your voice saying "HOME" trough the phone with out the carkit,.
Hope it helps ! |

@ J@TC
I Have voice tags activated in my T68 but when it rings it only plays the tag through the phone and thus you can only hear it when stationary with no car radio playing etc! |

For anybody intrested i got this reply back from SE -
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you for contacting Sony Ericsson.
Regarding your enquiry concerning your T68 handset, as requested by find response to question below.
1. I must advise you that current no Bluetooth system that Sony Ericsson have release is compatible with the feature of Magic Word, however we believe that this feature will be include in future model of handset coming soon such as the P800.
2. The voice tag system on this handset was no designed to go through any speaker system, it was designed to supply a simple play back through the handset only.
3. In order to change your handsets ring tones please select settings, sounds and alerts and ring signals.
Please contact us again if we can be of further assistance and visit our website at http://www.sonyericssonmobile.com for more information and support on our products.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Sums it all up really except for the fact that i point 3 is wrong because no matter what ringtone i choose for the phone it will not change the way the HF rings!
Also what i don't get is why point 2 SE says caller name was only designed to come through the phone speaker! But @ J@TC says that it works on his T39?
