Caller party announcement and Auto Answering

Linx — Thu, 08 May 2014 11:39:28 GMT

I connect my Z1 to my Sena SMH-10 BT (Helmet comms on motorcycle) but have the following issue since moving away from BlackBerry which would be nice if Sony addressed it as it has been some very basic functions on a lot of devices for a very long time.

On Blackberry and some other devices, incoming caller parties' names were announced, so when on the bike, my headset would tell me over the speaker who is calling, not available on the Z1.

On Samsung devices under Call - Call Accessories - Auto Answering you can enable or disable auto answer, must be an Android available function which is not available on Sony's version of Android. When I connect my Z1 to the Sena BT Headset and both Phone and Media is enable on the paired device, the Sony would cut my music and auto answer an incoming call without notification and I have no idea which number/person and they immediately start speaking to me without me having the option to ignore the call. So Phone option os disabled under my paired devices to avoid that problem but now my Sena BT Headset is nothing more than a glorified music streaming device.

Any chances that Sony would address issues like these when reported on the forum or do these issues fall on deaf ears and only forum users responding with possible workaround e.g. 3rd party apps???

Thanks
