Bookmark topic
I am also having problems with this combo, could anyone tell me if the voice dial function works with the k750i as a am finding the tone you speak after is so quite i can only hear it if the car is staionary, but the tone to tell me there are not matching tags is fine. Also when i use the carkit with my nokia 6230 the ringtone and keytones are transfered to the carkit speaker but with the K750i they are not, is this normal?? please help!!!!!

I'm guessing here as I don't own a K750i, do the ringtones and keytones need to be enabled in the CAR or HANDSFREE profiles?
You may have problems with voicedial due to the K750i and other recent SE 262k/65k screen phones not having a constant BT connection but an 'only when needed' connection. Hassle SE over this, perhaps they can come up with a software countermeasure.
It'll probably have a negative effect on battery life though!

My voice dialling does work, but I know what you mean about it being difficult to know when to speak. I usually look at the phone to see what's going on. As for the ringtones, I thought the HCB-300 has its own. My phone rings in the normal way with its ringtone through the phone speaker, and another different tone comes through my speakers at the same time. It is a bit weird but I can live with that if I can get a constant connection.
I updated the firmware again a few days ago to R1L002, before Sony Ericsson sent the note about another upgrade coming soon. So far I haven't had any disconnections but I don't use it often enough to say it is definitely ok now. I hope to see an upgrade that specifically mentions improvements to the BT now a problem seems to have been acknowledged.
Meanwhile my wife's old Nokia 6210 continues to work exactly as it should do with the HCB-300! She has a profile setup for ordinary use which carries her name so it shows on the screen. The accessories menu shows the handsfree uses the general profile. The ringtone set in the general profile is heard from the phone and from the car-kit so I don't understand what's going on with my K750 above as it is not possible to have different ringtones on different profiles.

I also have the HCB-300 and have similar problems with my k750i. It worked fine with my previous phone, a T610.
Every so often, lets say 30% of the calls, the mic and speaker drop out during a call. The caller cannot hear me and vice versa.
If you transfer the call to the phone (using the phone menus) then you can continue the call. You can even transfer the call back to the HCB-300 and it works for a few minutes again.
I also upgraded to the latest firmware, and I suspect its slightly better, but the problem is defiantly there. No doubt its a compatibility problem with the phone.
FYI all other functions work, i.e voice dial etc. Just this one problem.

Hi everyone...
ive just brought a k750i and a hcb 300 but for some reason the people on the other end of the call cannot hear...
they all complain that its really quiet and very distant, when the mic is right above my head...
is it the way ive set up the bluetooth???
whenever i enter the car it automatically accepts the pairing etc...
please help!!!

I'm also having trouble with this pairing, I have a K750i with R1L002 and an HCB-300.
Basically it seems that when I voice dial, if it doesn't match anything the phone will crash - it goes to a white screen then black. I have to switch off, switch on again and try and get the two to pair up again.
This has been happening since I got the K750 and have been updating the software hoping this will go away.
The HCB-300 used to work perfectly with my T630, so it doesn't seem like there's a fault with that.
Anybody got any ideas what I could try? Any settings I might have wrong? If it matches then it works fine - the problem only occurs (it seems) if it can't match the name.

@Wingee
Sounds like a software issue to me. Make SE aware of it so that a countermeasure can be included in the next software release.
@paddle
I doubt there's anything wrong with the carkit mic.
It sounds like your carkit is not connected to your phone - the quiet, distant sounds the caller hears are being picked up by the mic in the phone.

I think it's the K750i that's having problem
on pairing to any bluetooth device with bugs
reported on the firmwares.
Hopefully they will do another firmware update
with a bugfree on a bluetooth issue.

Help
I have had a HCB-30 fitted in my car for a few years now. It operated ok with my T39m and brilliantly with my T630. I then moved to a K700i, which was intermittent at best.
I am now use a K700i for work calls and a K750i for personal stuff. But the HCB-30 behaves erratically.
So I am ready to ditch the HCB-30 but what do I get: -
HCB-300 looks ideal on paper, but I read lots of reliability and compatibility issues.
HCB-700 Not on sale yet and I am very worried about buying bleeding edge SE kit.
Parrot CK-3100 Looks ok, but I am worried about having to load a special version of software for the K750i will this stop the K700i working correctly?
My K700i is on R2AN001 and my K750i (O2 version) R1L002.
Any help/experience would be gratefully received before I shell out £200+ on having a new kit fitted.

Welcome to esato!
I have a K700i with R2AE033 which works with HCB-300, no problems at all.
Before giving the HCB-30 the heave-ho, why not see if there is a software upgrade for it? Your nearest SE authorised service centre should be able to help you out.
