Suggest New Smart Phone For 15K (Bought Nokia Lumia 620. More: Pg.60)

[appus]

If your system do not have an USB, then one option is -> buy an AUX Cable.
-ves : You can not talk over the phone if you get the call.

As i had written in some other thread, the best option is buy a stereo bluetooth like Sony MW600.
As you can see there is a call /play/next/pause button, you can just connect it to your car audio aux port thru an aux cable.

Just pair your phone with bluetooth. You are done.
+ves: You can play music directly from phone.
You can take the phone call by pressing the call button. you can hear the sound through car speakers.
You can get turn by turn navigation on your cars headphones.
-ves: You cant hear navigation/phone calls if you want to play music from cd (you need to change back to aux)

I am using this and i can say this is the cheapest setup . I use the same stereo headset for daily use.

Thanks,

Gurrala, siply get an aux cable worth of 75rs. You can get in any of the obile stores or even the car accessory shops.

Hope this helps. Or did you already solve it

RK, simply buy an Aux cable available in all accessory shops or even electronics stores/shops as well.It should work with your handset.

@ Gurrala,
It is almost 2K. Aux cable you need in any case. I bought the device for my daily use. I keep my handset on my bag and never bother to pick unless i need to dial it. When i drive, i use it as a 'bluetooth enabled car' :)

You need to buy aux cable in any case. that wouldnt go waste :).

Frankly speaking, connecting phone to your car audio is kind of waste :D (sorry for hurting others feelings). You need to remove the phone from cable when ever you get a call. It is not a best solution. If you are thinking of that, why dont you connect your ipod/mp3 player thru an aux cable than your phone ? An mp3 player these days costs only 500-1000RS !

OR,
Your phone should be exclusively used for listening songs and not the actual 'calling purpose'. Why you want to make a 14K phone as a music player when you can get a music player for 1K

(Hoping that you do not have an usb port in your car).

Appus,

I agree with you for most, but do you know carrying a phone,music player,digi camera is bit difficult for me. Ok it is not for music purpose, but I used to charge my phone thru' USB cable earlier and which used to be very handy to do the same with music player usb one side listening to the FM and other side my phone used get charged. So my purpose was that. Now comes to Bluetooth, I did a mistake while choosing the car audio(HU), I have not chosen the Bluetooth integrated one instead I chose the Bluetooth ready and realised later that it needs some other Bluetooth attachment to take the calls thru it. So any way I need one such attachment in my car and if it does more jobs like charging my phone and playing music will be great. suggest me something keeping this in mind. I think the one you have shown me in pic and you are using in your car at present will suit me too.

First, thank you Raja for the reputation :)

RK,
Sorry for the delay in replying.

I would like to know whether you have an USB port on your HeadUnit ?
If yes, can you charge your phone by connecting to it?

I carry my Digital Camera (both pocket and DSLR) when we go for a trip. I feel kind of embarrassed while taking photos thru phone. (It's purely personal choice).

As per my limited knowledge, both MW600 and Lumia 620 got the same kind of charging point (Micro USB).

I do not have a USB port on my audio system (Dzire VDI). I have bought a device from ebay (belkin usb charger)
I connect my usb cable of my phone to this and charge my phone on the go.
(There is two model in ebay . One fake and one original. Original got the mat finish with powdered touch. )

If you want to use the bluetooth only in car, you can check the price for that accessory. If it is worth the price and do not protrude outside, i will suggest to go for that. It may look neat than a cable connected to aux port.

If that is above 3K and you want to use bluetooth for your day to day use other than car driving, i suggest something like a stereo bluetooth device.

You can buy a car holder for your Lumia 620 and use it for navigation. You get turn by turn navigation on speaker with music playing together. Music volume gets lowered automatically when you get alert from navigation software (In android, it says so. Hope the same in windows 8 too).

Do not buy cheap car mounts/holders as it may not work well (it may damage your phone by falling from windshield).

My final suggestion : Do not jump in to buying anything as someone suggested (eg:me). Take your time. Go to some store. See it. Try the navigation and music same time playing on speaker /headphone. Do not buy anything unless you are fully convinced. Please. It is your money. (Hard earned?)

Regards,
appus

Appus, some nice piece of information mate you shared pretty valuable for many.

 

[Gurrala74]

Appus thank you for the information. That MW 600 looks very good, but as you said if I play CD, it cannot take calls/Navigation. Is there any such product which should work as

1.Bluetooth interface with my phone and music system and should be able to take calls stopping the others(music,navigation)

My music system is having a USB slot and is called bluetooth ready(not bluetooth integrated)

Friends share your suggestions please

 

[appus]

Thanks Edios and Vijay.
@RK
I think you need to go for the accessory mentioned by your bluetooth ready HU. Can we have the model number/make of the same? We can google it and find out whether that takes care of everything like you wish to play.

If that doesn't support cd/usb audio and bluetooth at the same time (unless you press the CD/USB mode), then that would not be doing any good

Please share the model and make of your HU

 

[Gurrala74]

It is JVC make HU model no. KD-R426. Look forward to receive your suggestions and also keep in mind my new adventurous Win 8 phone in mind please

Finally it came down to my super simple (however stupid ) suggestion , indeed was a bulletproof suggestion and in a way nature's revenge given the length of this epic thread! (am sure all the members reading this are getting a weird sense of joy, what say guys ?)

Cant agree more with the saying "Smart Phones comes with smart problems"

 

[Gurrala74]

@IR

I tried in all my ways and this was supposed to happen according to the nature's revenge(TAI members revenge) but I am enjoying it as I am doing such job after long time. One thing is funny all my colleagues at office and my family members are looking at me that what this fellow is doing like mobile in one hand and a printed contacts paper with pen in other hand. All the credit goes to you IR for this.

 

[vijay]

hahahaha awesome man rightly said with smarter handsets smarter issues crops up.Enjoy your handset and keep updating with ur experience with it.
BTW nice pictures of your ride from this lumia you clicked.
