Treo 650

[jroot]

Palm are idiots and you cant use you voice commands to dial with the Treo 650. I heard there was a way to get it to dial your favorites but I couldnt figure it out. It pairs and answers incoming calls fine. Any suggestions? Thanks

[BenDupre]

The dialing is done by the car. Who did you get your phone from? Some carriers (verizon is the worst) criple features of the phone. With the TREO there may be registry hack (is that the right word for a palm device?) to uncriple it. Go find some cellular phone forums and you will likely get help.

Well as a TREO owner and a VErsa SL w/convience package owner I have NO problems using all of the features that the bluetooth has in the car with my phone. Sounds to me either you don't know how to config your Bluetooth or there is a problem with your phone.

So you can voice dial your treo 650 in your versa?? Im not sure I believe you. I am sure I might be missing something. Perhaps instead of stating I must no know what I am doing, why not make a helpful suggestion about how you got the voice dial to work.

[LA02MAX]

the voice dial is through the car, not through the phone. You can program something like 20 or 25 people, and if you want to dial a number, you press the talk button on your steering wheel and say 'call' or 'dial' and when it prompts you, you can either recite an actual phone number, or the name of a pre-programmed person.

The treo 650 hooked up to my friend's versa just fine, but you have to link them with the access code found in the versa's owner's manual. It took us forever to figure that out

[FlightNurse]

Its called a Owners manuel, use it, you would be suprised what you will find in it.

I don't appreciate the rtfm crap. I did read it. As a Treo owner you might know that Palm does not have the ability for their phones to accept voice dial commands from any bluetooth headset. If you purchase their wired one however, it works. Call Palm if you question this. I understand how to tell the phone to call but when I do instead of it dialing it just cuts back into the stereo everytime. If you want to help me try and figure this out great I really appreciate your input. If you just want to give me a smart *** read the manual answer than why even bother to type it.

[BenDupre]

I don't have a treo phone, I have a razr. I had to call the salesman to couple the phone because I couldn't find the code in the manual anywhere.

Don't mind Tony he's just smarter than the rest of us (even though he can't spell) and gets a little impatient.

Once I got the phone paired, everything just worked.

It might be hard for anyone to help you by forum because no one knows what you tried and what did/didn't work.

Did you try saying "dial xxx-xxxx" to the car to make a call? Did you try saying "phonebook" to the car to program it?

Once you get the phone paired, the car is smart enough to walk you through all the commands you can use.

If there is an issue with your treo phone, then you won't find an answer here unless someone has the same problem and figured it out. Like I said before, some phone carriers cripple the phones so you have to buy their accessories/use their services. You didn't mention what carrier you have.

Did you try some phone forums like brighthand? those people using smart phones are usually IT geeks (this term is PC now isn't it? no offense intended) who get to know every little nuance about their devices.

Funny thing is I use my TREO everyday in my car and dial # via the bluetooth. I had NO problems pairring my phone, I just read the manuel and gave the password code when prompted.

So again if you are having problems, then go to the Nissan dealer and see if the can help you. It took me roughly 30 minutes to pair my phone and add about 15 numbers.

Ben, impatient no, but when someone calls me a liar, I have a problem.

So to show again you can PAIR a TREO and use voice command to dial I redid the paring on my phone.

If the person who was having a problem look at page 4-32-33 ALL the directions he needs are right there to get his phone to work. the PIN # is a simple one, its 1234...

I will try and make this as simple for you as I can. I know how to pair the phone and have done so. It answers calls flawlessly. It is absolutely 100% paired. The FACT is with the Palm Treo 650 you cannot initiate calls from a bluetooth headset. If you tell me that you can. then I am truely amazed, and you should share your great knowledge and wisdom with all the other Treo 650 owners, not just on this site, but on the entire internet because I have been to every major cell phone website, called and spoken to palm, and even the makers of voice dialer for Palm. They ALL say it is not possible to initate a call without a wired headset. The API's Palm has for the TREO 650 DO NOT support voice dial from a non-wired bluetooth headset. PERIOD.As far as calling you a liar I never did. Why you insist on answering my query with incorrect information deliverd with an arroganance is beyond me.

Headsets use the Bluetooth Headset Profile (HSP). Automobiles use the Bluetooth Hands-Free Profile (HFP) - two different things.

While it's true a Bluetooth headset cannot wake-up voice command on the Treo, that has nothing to do with the car - it's a different profile.

As FlightNurse mentioned, when using the Hands-Free profile, the car dials the phone - and it doesn't use the phones address book. You have to program the phone numbers into the car.

That's just the way it works - all Bluetooth enabled cars work that way. Although I've heard some may be capable of uploading the contacts from the phone...

Sounds like you got all the answers then. Hope you like trying to dial the phone and drive at the same time.

Tony is it the job stress that makes you so uptight? I found the 1234 code in the manual just where you said it was. I guess it's not the first time (or the last) I benn afflicted with the STUPIDS.

Here is your post in which you called me a Liar... The sentence " Im not sure I believe you." is a polite way in saying I'm calling you a liar.

Now regarding the post about getting the VERSA to dial the TREO phone, you said it couldn't be done...

After reading your post it appears that you were talking about Heads Free set, and I was talking about the Versa...

Tony

[FlightNurse]

Ben, I am not uptight or stressed out flight Nurse, granted in my line of work, I save peoples lives everytime I pick up someone up at a accident. But when someone comes on the board as starts making statements that I don't beleive you, then yes I have a problem...

Tony

[jroot]

Thats great news stoyr thanks for the info. Tony err flight nurse sorry if I offended you. I guess my phone has a problem because it won't let the versa dial it. Maybe its firmware or something. As far as you ben, thanks for all your efforts trying to help. Ben up untill your last post I was very grateful for your help and even followed your advise and checked out cell phone websites. Oh well time to put this one to rest. Take care guys
