The razor does not display the battery level on the dash when on the Handsfree screen.

The Acura site shows this phone as being compatable. I have it paired, but it is impossible to make an outgoing call and have anyone understand anything I am saying. It is scratchy and full of echo.

Incoming calls are just fine.

Has anyone who has this phone been able to get it to work with outgoing calls?

For everyone that's having problems with the sound, incoming and outgoing, when they are hooked to the HFL, do you need to manually switch the call like I have to?

My LG 350 has a menu displayed when I'm on a call, and one of the choices is "switch to BT". I have to manually switch for incoming calls, and then I can continue the call through the car speakers.

It's mildly irritating, and my husband says it defeats the whole purpose of "handsfree", because you have to keep the phone handy to switch the calls. However, it's a 2 second process, and then I'm good to go.

Just a thought that you might want to check your phone during a test incoming or outgoing call to see if this is what you need to do.

The lack of signal strength showing on on the car's digital screen doesn't bother me, because I always hook the phone to the car charger anyway.

I'm just happy to have the convenience in the car to talk on the phone without having to use my hands.

Anyone have any information on whether the Samsung d807 from Cingular works? I just got one for my wife and it recognizes the HFL in the car, but for some reason the car gets to the point where I need to give the phone a name and then "be-booops." (That's what we call the car not liking the input)

Checkers

Just a note to report that the Motorola V360 from Fido in Ontario Canada (Toronto), pairs OK with HFL on my new 06 TL. All features except battery levels are compatible as per handsfreelink.com. I can place/receive calls just fine and transfering between HFL and phone is as simple as saying "TRANSFER" on the HFL. The V360 is not the latest of phones out there, but it has more than the features I will ever use and IT WORKS with the HFL.

Initially, I tested the SE Z520a but the HFL-phone system was very unpredictable, even after a successful pairing procedure. Note that the phone arrived with a firmware other than the one posted as "approved" on handsfreelink.com. I investigated in details whether I could downgrade the firmware, but in the end I gave up. (No real assistance from either Fido or SE on this issue. Acura is not to blame - they clearly indicate a compatibility with only a specific firmware version.)

Bottom line: Follow religiously the phone-HFL compatibility table posted in handsfreelink.com and you should have very predictable results.

I have just purchased a Nokia E-61 and am using it on Rogers Wireless. It linked easily once I figured out how to put it in discovery (it is explained well at page 63 of the phone manual). It works well (better than my Moto V551) but neither the battery or signal strength shows on the MID. This was expected.

Does anyone paired an Nokia N80 or n91? Im thinking of which phone will work fine with my 3G TL... Thanks

russ0813

any udates on the treo 650 is the 700 better

orange-man

I don't have first hand knowledge of those two phones but I do have the N73 which works great. Since the N80 is a Series 60 3rd edition phone like the N73 I would have to think that it should work just as well as my N73.

Jrbn2g04AcuraTL

Thank you sir, So on N73 everything works?

orange-man

Not quite everything. No signal strength or battery meter, but it pairs easily, sounds clear, caller id, and everything works really well. I never had a Nokia that had the signal strength or batery meter so I wasn't surprised at this. I am very happy with the way the N73 interfaces with the HFL.

Eyefocus2

Acura's website states that the LG8300 is compatible but call waiting will not work. Do you find this to be the case. Joe

tzakiel

good news. Sony Ericsson k800i now works fully with handsfreelink, after the very latest firmware update R1ED001 (soon to be released, for now on wotanserver)

phonebob

I have the N91 and an 04 TL. The phone is paured and works (no battery or signal). the other problem is that the bluetooth link with HFL keeps on disconnecting and reconnecting even if you are on a call. I called Nokia and they want me to send them the phone to check it out. I'd hold off on N91 for now (still many bugs).

cupidoneill

I have the Sony Ericsson M600i and it works beautiful with my 6MT 04TL

dmarcus48

The d807 works with my car. No signal strength or battery meter but it does work. I had that be-booops after reflashing another phone. Do a phone setup, list, delete the phone if listed. try another name for it. try turning the car or and off.

Try this link to check Acura tested phones and compatibility with HFL

http://www.handsfreelink.com/find/index.htm

I personally have Verizon Samsung a950, this is a terrible phone to use with
HFL it does not display signal or battery and the steering wheel hang up or call
end button does not work, it also diconnects when there is a call waiting which is very inconvenient.
Anyway the Link above is an excellent guide to find compatilble phones based on your service provider.

This link will tell all tested phones with Acura and service providers it is the best list for finding compatible phones

ReD-BaRoN

You've got no Nokia's listed here.

coykiam

if you go to the very first page of this thread there are nokias there...and that link also has a couple nokias.

JoganJani

This link does not seems to be very correct. Lists T-Mobile T809 does not work, however, I've been using it with no problems whatsoever with the TL HFL. Only thing does not work is Battery and Signal meter.

See their test results;

Anyone got a new Sony phone to work.
The W810i would not a few months ago for me, so I sold it.
But I'm hearing that SE might have fixed the BT issue with a FW upgrade.
There are a few new SE phones out there including the W810i. Can someone report back about the W810i or any new SE phone.
Thanks

tzakiel

As I posted back a bit.... I jsut updated my SE k800i with the very latest firmware (not yet on SEUS update service) and it now works 100% with HFL.

robedm

I don't know why the T-809 is listed as not compatilbe, I think you lucked out with your phone working. I have a Verizon Samsung SCH-950 and all I can do is call and answer,
the call end doesn't work and if I get a call waiting it diconnects completely.
It might be possible you have a new or upgraded version of that phone, I know with mine
VZ relaesed like 2or 3 more 950's after I bought it.

Just curious; Where you able to pair the a930 with the TL at all?
I ordered a a990 because the chart shows it as being completely compatible,
still waiting on it but I will let everyone know how that works. Anyway I tried out my mom's a930 since I was at her house talking about the a990 and damn expensive it was, then she busts out her 930 talking about how great her phone is.
Just for Sh*ts and giggles I tried to connect it (in hopes of saving a few bucks if it worked) but I could not get it pair. The phone found the HFL once but the HFL timed out three times and I gave up. I don't think the a930 sux, I think it's completely worthless, for anyone
shopping VZ stay away from it.
I'm am curious to know what your experience was so anyone with info. regarding either the a930 or a990 please reply.

coykiam

yay! I was hopeing the k800i will work with the car. I guess im off to get it next month, been waiting for it.

oh btw rets, you might wanna update the list, I have Moto A630 and it has signal display on the MID of the car.

***UPDATE***
If you have or want to have a Sony W810i or K790a, there is a new firmware update on Sonys web site that will fix the bluetooth issues with these phones and the HFL. You will need to update the FW from the SEUS to get the W810 or K790a to work correctly with the HFL. The USB cable that came with the phone is all you need to get the phone updated. You can also call Sony Support number and they will walk you thru the free update, as these phones have US support now.
Good luck.

I Got the Samsung A-990 From VZW
Aweome phone, every feature works and it takes amazing photos.

MC_Hotdog

If anyone got the A1200 to pair up, please provide some info. My 06 TL's HFL couldn't even detect my A1200!!

eaRL

I remember having trouble pairing the 780. I had to put the car and the phone in bluetooth search at the same time.

AmayaG

I still have the original color phone...Sony Ericsson T68i, pairs with my TL just fine; with call waiting, caller id, signal strength and battery strength!

No complaints from me, even though my friends keep insisting I get a new phone (I think it's about 4 or 5 years old now?) and when I got my SIM card updated yesterday, the guy who worked at Cingular called my phone "classic"...

PsychFish

Nokia 6270 pairs just fine. no signal strenght or battery life indicator.

ExpensiveWino32

I just signed up with Cingular and I was able to pair up the Sony Ericsson Z525a with the TL's HFL.
It initially paired up with no problems, but I couldn't hear anything through the speakers in the TL. So I tried it the next morning and everything worked perfectly (I did the intial setup late at night)...you see everything on the HID (battery meter, signal strength, etc).
So far so good......

pimpin-tl

Moto V3M Razr works perfect with the TL.

ExpensiveWino32

I ran into problems with the SonyEricsoon Z525a.
I couldn't get any sound through the speakers.
Based on the feedback of other users in this forum, I returned it and get a Motorola Razr.
The Razr paired up fine and worked with some test calls. BUT overall I prefer the functionality/usability of the SonyEricsson....I hope they correct the problem soon!

bothfly

They did.
You would just have to update the Z520a's software via SE website.

ExpensiveWino32

Did they update the Z520a or the Z525a?? or both?

ExpensiveWino32

not good news......

Sorry if this has been asked/answered before-I did a search and it was hard to tell.
Does anyone know if the Motorola SLVR L2 pairs with the hands free link? I am specifically asking about the L2, not the L6/L7. I just ordered it off ebay for my new TL, then realized everyone is talking about the L7. Thanks!
