i always think about using my bluetooth headset for regular phone lines.. i did find two ways but none of them worked:
1- a pc software that will enable headset profile on pc so i can use my jabra with my pc but this wont solve the program because the software which i found is not stable+ ive never found a modem which would enable using windows sound system to make a "real" phone calls
2- jabra offers an adapter for bluetooth headsets.. this adapter can connect with "any" blutooth headset and converts what it receives to regular 2.5mm jack...
so if i can find any adapter that would change the 2.5mm jack to regular 3.5mm jackS then i can use any bluetooth headset with speakerphone jacks in my modem....
the problem is that i couldnt find such an adapter.. put in mind is that 2.5mm is not ordinary 2.5mm.. it has one line for mono headphones and anothet for mic.. so i need an adapter that would change this to TWO separate jacks one for mic and one for headphones...
if someone heard of such adapter please help me..
i tried to make my own adapter but i couldnt find the right tools in local stores here...
USB-Dongle?
Hi Mephistodan,
won't a Bluetooth USB Dongle with headset profile solve your problem?
Unfortunately I don't have such a Dongle myself, but heard of several people who use these for sound input/output.
If you combine these with your 'softphone', it should do the job.
cheers,

I know that radio shack in the US sells a splitter like that. It was made for multimedia where it requires a seperate plug for mic and speaker. I have one that I picked up a while ago when I was using a headset on my pc for ip phone. I had to have seperate plug for mic and heaset then, this might work for you.
In looking real quick found this...

Hope that helps
i dont belive that radioshack is in europe
but there are plenty of smaller chains which would prob
have the same products

do you know of any software or and modem that enables using windows sound system for making real full duplex phone calls on regular phone line???
Radioshock in the UK is called Tandy, I have no idea why they decided to rename it though, they carry the same product range as the USA's Radioshack
to let you know there is "land line" plones out there that have bluetooth some are just base station type things some are full phones

Hi Mephistodan,
no, sorry didn't have the time for the real important stuff, yet
I'd like to do what you are doing now with Cisco's IP Softphone (I know it's not a regular phone line).
Additionally, I found this @ geek.com:
http://www.geek.com/news/geeknews/2004Jan/bpd20040126023599.htm
Don't know if it is out yet, and what they charge for this gimmick...
OK, one should open up the eyes and READ closely :shock:
These thingy's cost a lot - like you said in your post before....

ive just ordered all the items i want to do what i want..
but the problem that im thinking of is..
how would the bluetooth headset work,, i mean.. there wont be any signal from the phone that there is a phone call or something.. will pressing answer button will do the thing???
im really afraid that there must be a specific profile on the headset or the transmitter.. i dont know..
someone can help??
does anyone know if theres an adapter so i can listen to the music on my hd7 thorugh my car speakers?
i know theres one for the hd2 do you think it will owrk with hd7?
Well, my cars have the typical RCA input jacks. I just bought a 3.5mm to RCA cable, and all sounds great! Found mine at radio shack

what kind of connection are you trying to make? BT, wired....
need more info
I'm trying to get a fm transmitter.
I used a Venturi Mini with my HD2. It also works perfectly with the HD7. Bluetooth from the phone to the Venturi, FM from the Venturi to Car-radio.
The phone sits in a Brodit holder, adapted to have a USB connector, which takes power from the Venturi. The holder also works well for both the HD2 and the HD7.

Google --> Walmart, and then search "Scosche FM Transmitter" grab the $10 one, sounds amazing for $10!!! Used double sided tape and taped it to my phone mount in my car and it works beautifully.
In my car I have a 3.5mm input jack. I have a 3.5 mm to 3.5mm cable that I have used for the last 2 years on my Windows Mobile HTC Touch Cruise device (WM 6.1). Now when I plug the cable in my HTC HD7 the music plays as expected but at the same time the volume on my HTC HD7 goes down from 30 to 0 in just a couple of seconds. Do I need to buy a new cable or some kind of converter or is there something wrong with my device?

That sounds like a hardware issue, I could be wrong tho. Do you have a case on the phone? How are you holding the phone when you plug it in?
I have a Pioneer touchscreen nav in my car (U310BT) and it has a USB input, but it doesn't recognize my HD7 Unless someone finds a solution, I'm stuck using the auxiliary jack. The biggest downside is that a single plug can no longer double as audio/charger.

I have the same issue but it only seems to do it randomly. I normally have the stereo off before plugging it in but I noticed today it happened twice on the same car ride. I have the skin on the phone that T-Mobile sells so i guess it could be the culprit. Have you found out anything further?

The phone cannot be used as a usb storage device (at least not without hacking and then only on the computer it is synced to). So, there is no way currently to usb it to the car stereo.

I just looked this up. It sold out on line but you can find it in stores. (I hate waiting for things in the mail,UPS, etc) Thats not a bad product for the price. I have the Belkin FM transmitter ($50) that plugs in through the A/C and can charge your Ipod/mp3 player, etc using the USB cable that came with your phone, Ipod, etc. I had it for over 3 years. I needed something when I got my car since the radio didnt have a CD player. After I got the FM transmitter my wife bought me a new head unit (radio) during BF two years ago and I installed the radio in my driveway and it came with Ipod/mp3, phone hook up through USB. Now I use the FM transmitter as a phone charger.

I understand it can't be used as a storage device. However, when my car recognizes any other USB-based media players (ipod, iphone, zune, sansa), it should recognize my HD7 as well :[
Mine is a ford myconnection. Works perfect with bluetooth.

I've looking at a few head units to replace my existing stereo. I tried a few units with built in bluetooth at the local big box store.
I set up my phone to play both bluetooth audio and attempted to make a phone call, but the 'helpful' store employee asked me to put my phone away (evidently they're afraid I was amazoning the price). I told the guy I was pairing the bluetooth, but he didn't care. Too bad, because making a phone call would've sealed my sale. I guess I'll amazon it.
I was deciding between a Kenwood & Sony... sorry I didn't get a chance to record the model numbers, but they were ~$175.

Actually, they can, inside their store. It's private property and they can ask you to either turn off your phone or leave. If you refuse to turn it off, they can tell you to leave. If you refuse to leave, you're legally trespassing and they can have you arrested.
In any case, they clearly didn't want your money.

Yeah but they can't physically touch you without getting sued. I have two sales / retail jobs.
I have a Kenwood in my car with BT. It auto connects to my Incredible but only if I have the "phone" option under advanced BT settings set to connect. If I just have media set to connect it wont auto connect. But if you use the hands free BT then you'll be fine. It'll auto connect to both phone and media audio.

Well sure, but where did he say they touched him?
The guy didn't threaten me, he just kind of shrugged and pointed towards the spy camera. I ended up with a Clarion _Z500 (I forget the first letter) for $50 off since it was missing the remote. I didn't need the remote since I sit 2' away. Thankfully everything can be accessed via the panel.
It's nice (though not as good as the one in my acura). Via bluetooth it pauses music, answers calls, accesses my phone book and makes a decent call with the included mic.

Yeah, but the problem with FM transmitters in my experience is that if you drive between counties you usually have to change stations and the sound quality is meh.
It also doesn't work well anywhere that FM radio signals have trouble getting to.

You can use a FM transmitter, but it's not that great in Belgium (overwhelmed FM frequencies).
Or get a car with USB port
Sometimes, radios have an 3.5 AUX input at the back.. I know mine doesn't, and I 'd need to get some expensive equipment for my phone to simulate presence of a CD tray and be able to output through radio.
You can use bluetooth if your car supports it. You wont be able to use MIUI or CM7 then though.
I got a jack in and a usb on radio, but looking for a dock that fits in my din slot (in guess I need to build one myself, does someone know one to begin from?
I have a car with 2din, in the top is my radio, in the lower one I want to place the phone in a "dock" (in landscape)
Connecting the phone is no problem
Or i want to fit the phone in the 2 din and remove the radio, and use the phone as radio, like in the YouTube video
Hope you understand me, my English is not that good

You can't replace headunit just like that, because it is needed to amplify weak headphone level sound output, if nothing else.
Using our phone for that is PitA. Two cables, two connectors and no dock to replace that mess. You'll be better off with iPhone (did I say that?!) or some older HTC which had extUSB connector with USB, sound and mic all in one. Now, with microUSB, forget it : (

Is there a way to have the FM Radio app working without pluging the headset?
As far as I know: No.
The phone has no integrated fm antenna and therefore uses the headphone or any other audio cable cable instead.
I also noticed a difference in signal strength and quality with different kinds of cables / headphones.

Does this possibly mean thicker cables will receive signals better?

I guess it depends more on length, isolation and most of all placement of the cable.

You do not have to use the headphones as the output device, they just need to be plugged in. Try tabbing on the headphone icon in the upper left corner, it should toggle between headphone and speaker output.
