My Totally Awesome Brother got me a bluetooth headset for my birthday! Now I can walk around and look like I'm talking to myself ( Read more... )

Happy Birthday, lovely!

I don't know if you're a Doctor Who fan, but whenever I see someone with a bluetooth headset, I fear that they'll soon be made a Cyberman. Just be careful, is all I'm sayin'.

Thank you!

I am GOING to be a Doctor Who fan, one day. Once I have the time and attention span to actually sit down and watch some of it...

No worries, though. I refuse to be assimilated!

I may have to have a 'New to Who' Party, wherein I indoctrinate the willing into the awesomeness of the newest incarnations of the Doctor (not that Old School isn't great; this is just a perfect jumping-on point).

And good on you for your refusal! Stay strong.

Ooooo...that sounds like a fabulous idea!

Without actually playing around with anything, I can only tell you what I went through with my phone.

I learned (a month before I upgraded) that I needed to wait for my phone to say "Please say a command" and THEN BEEP before I could say the name I wanted to call. Before that, it never understood who I was trying to call.

Also check how well your headset is working. Call someone (by dialing normally) and see how well they can understand you on it. If the other person is having trouble, your phone will too.

Mine just beeps, and the screen says, "Speak Now!"

It was so much easier when I had a phone that let me set up the voice commands myself, instead of just trying to guess from the spelling.

Headset works wonderfully. That was the first thing I tested. :D

HAPPY BIRTHDAY :)

Hmm, sorry no help on the phone tech issues!

fairyrune April 15 2008, 12:49:42 UTC

Thank you!

Is ok, I have several professional techie-geeks on my friends' page.

Sorry, I teach my phone to voice dial. It's doesn't guess.

and this shackie doesn't use voice dial...

fairyrune April 15 2008, 12:48:50 UTC

Bah! Bah I say!

odogonefishin April 15 2008, 13:51:53 UTC

I'm sorry, did you say "pizza"?
