HFL is just plain sucks!

Geez!...I just can't get this thing to work. I think something's wrong with it. I'll be driving and all of a sudden it says "Incoming Call" with no caller-id. But guess what, no one is calling me.

I have that problem with my phone(Samsung A900). I may be that your phone is not completly compatible with the HandsFreeLink.

Saying that the "HFL sucks" without telling us the phone and firmware you are using serves no purpose other than to rant and ramble.

I suspect your phone is not compatible, and not that HFL sucks. My phone is listed as being compatible, and it works great.

That's the exact same phone I have. I guess it's not compatible with HFL. I'll have to do some research.

Yeah you're right. I was just really pissed. I have an 06 TL non-navi and as stated in previous post, a Samsung A900. I've also noticed that you cannot hang up after calling someone from the steering wheel. You actually have to hang up from the phone itself.

It has got to be the phone my friend. Believe me, I have 4 cellphones and only one seems to be compatible and works on a consistent basis.

Yea... the A900 has had issues since it came out. It would be nice if ALL bluetooth cell phones would work with ALL devices, but that is far from the case. Each vendor what to do things differently.

handsfreelink.com has always show the A900 as incompatible with HFL. I see they've moved it back to the "testing" section because they are probably testing it again with the latest version of firmware on the phone. I tracked that original A900 thread and Samsung was releasing firmware to make it better and better each time. It started out really bad.
