Yep, but none of them are email phones apart from the Nokia communicator, which I didn't get on with at all when I tried it in the past, and I'm not sure you can get that model, only its replacement

I have been able to you use my HP IPAQ 6515c with my FL2. This PDA/Phone has a QWERTY keyboard and can sync with outlook of e-mails etc. It didn't work initially but now it connects via bluetooth every time. It will not download the Ipaq's phone book but can make and receive calls only.

I had a right nightmerwe with my SE K800i locking out the PTI system, changed the firmware on the phone as the LR list - still no joy. The car went in for "an upgrade" and two days later LR Tech said that the Vodaphone customised software on my K800i is the problem. Interesting enough my wife's car (Citroen C3) also has the exact same fault when my K800i is used in her car - and her K800i has the same problems in both cars.

One thing that did help improve the reliability of the conenction was turn of 3G and just have the phone on a GSM setting (in both cars) and this advice came from Citroen!!

Now use a Nokia 6300 with no problems, but the wife's Nokia 6288 the voice dial does not work in the LR

Well, still not there with WM6. I've had a bit of a step in the right direction with an official WM6 upgrade rather than the unofficial one I was using before. It is now possible (after a few attempts) to get the phone to pair, even though it says "Pairing Failed" when I first pair it. It does now seem to connect to the car automatically every time I get in, so that's further than I've ever got before.

Where it all falls flat though is placing or receiving a call. When receiving a call, the PTI rings, but when I answer (via the PTI), the call isn't relayed through the PTI, I have to speak and listen on the phone. When making a call, I don't get the ringing tone at all, but when the call is answered it usually isn't relayed through the PTI, I have to use the phone again.

So I can make, receive and terminate calls now through the PTI, only trouble is most of the time I then need to use the phone to speak/listen.

Hey-ho. I will get there eventually!

On the current version of the Landrover listing the Sony Ericcson K750i seems to be listed a compatible and indeed I use one quite successfully. I can't vouch for all functions but the Phone Book and Calls Menu functions work fine. However I have just noted having examined the complete functionality list that there are a number of function which I have never tried that are listed a not available. D3 GS Java Black TDV6 Manual

Just made another step forward, it's sooooooooo tantalisingly close now!

I've found out that if I initiate or accept a call, I can go into the Menu and select "Privacy Call", and then "Privacy". On a properly working phone, this would transfer the call from the PTI to the phone, but as mine's already only going through the phone, it doesn't make any difference. HOWEVER, if I then switch back to "Hands Free", it does what it should and transfers the call from the phone back to the PTI, and it all works like it should.

If I make or receive another call, it will then all work fine without having to go through the privacy/hands free nonsense, but only until the ignition is turned off. Unfortunatelty, it's then back to having to do this again for the first call every time the car is re-started. So it's still impractical, but maybe I'm getting there slowly.

on your second post you said you have used the Hands Free service already, that should have completed everything

also I never had to do the "privacy thing" you mentioned on the menu.

if LR2 can pair with your phone I can't see any reason why your having these problems

let me point out some details, you might have only be missing one of these
1. on bluetooth settings, on MODE tab, make sure you check: a. Turn on Bluetooth and b. Make this device discoverable to ther devices.
2. on DEVICES tab, upon successful pairing a "headpiece with mic" icon that reads "MY CAR" should appear on your Partnership List.
3. Upon clicking "MY CAR", it will ask you to select services to use from this device..and that's when you put a check mark on the "HANDS FREE"
4. on the COM PORTS tab, you should have an "Incoming Port" (COM 1 to 7) dedicated to LR2...you can use any number not being used by other devices like PC, GPS, Inflatable Toy for..
5. and Whala! you should be ok! I HOPE!  Do Not Follow Me...You Can't Go Where I Go!!!

.....up in the tree!!!

I can tick each of those steps, unfortunately. The only difference is it automatically detects and selects the HANDS FREE service so step 3 doesn't apply.

So basically the only thing that stops it working is that everytime it resumes the pairing, although the phone displays the hands-free headset icon on the phone screen, the phone seems to default to privacy mode rather than hands free mode.

Looney_Loey, could you perhaps ask your XDA friend if he knows what changes occur in the phone when it receives a command from the PTI to switch from privacy to hands-free, and vice versa? I'm hoping that if it's something as simple as a registry setting that flips between a 0 and a 1, I can just set it to 1 manually rather than have to go through the rigmarole of phoning somebody, selecting "privacy" and then "hands-free" again.

Cheers!

Has anyone experienced the K750i not coming through the speakers? Everything else works ok, just can't get the conversation to the speakers. My friend has a K750i which works perfect in his vehicle but won't in mine and my K750i conversation wont come through either vehicle. using latest software and handsfree / mute not an issue. Out with the old (2007 SE)
In with the new (2012 Dynamic with everything). Now also gone.

I'm sure you've checked, but are both phones running exactly the same firmware version ?

For SE phones, I've found the davinci team site to be really useful for updates etc. It seems odd that your friends 750 won't work in your car either - are you going through the normal pairing process so that his phone has the correct bluetooth pin entered ?

Sorry if you've tried all this already. Are you both on the same mobile network? (this is a potential straw clutch moment!)

With regards to PDA Cellphones... I'm using a T-Mobile (USA) MDA with Windows Mobile 5
(HTC Wizard Model)

I was able to make it work with my LR2 in minutes after doing the pairing and setting-up the Port to receieve it.

Here's the procedure: (NOTE: May vary with other Phone Models please proceed with caution)

On your PDA
1. go to bluetooth setting
2. make sure it's on and discoverable
3. create a new partnership
4. "My Car" will appear as a new Bluetooth device
5. Select service to use from this device (if prompted)
6. Check the "Hands Free" box and save setting
7. on COM Ports select INCOMING PORT and choose a PORT - (ex. COM7)

(this maybe the problem I see with other phones... when i connect to my GPS receiver
(got Tomtom6 for PDA) I use OUTGOING PORT as my PDA connects TO MY GPS DEVICE for satellite signal right? ...right!

TO ALLOW OTHER DEVICES to CONNECT (like the case of LR2 BT telephone system) you need INCOMING PORT to open-up, IT IS THE OTHER WAY AROUND, YOUR LR2 is the one connecting to your phone.

Hope this would help.
