is there a phone dialer available for XP? the reason i want one is because i have a bluetooth Headset at the moment, but no speakers (sound card went in for repairs), so i'm using those as my source of music. i own a HBH-65, and pairing goes fine, but it takes a while, because it is pretty confusing to get it paried up. my desktop has a bluetooth adapter, that's why i can use the headset as speakers (and microphone when needed).
the reason i want a phone dialer is so that i don't have to keep on pairing the headset with my phone, and unpair it with my desktop, and also it would be pretty cool.
i know it might sound a little bit messed up, but if you need clarification, just tell me, and i'll try to clear it up.
thanks.
p.s.: do you guys have an IRC channel?
o yea, not to mention, i want the call to go through my QTEK 2020 if it's possible

Hey guys. I have an XDA II and the Motorola Bluetooth headset. I gave up trying to use the headset before the updated XDA II ROM as it was very temperamental to say the least. Now I have updated the ROM its much better but I still have problems. If I am dialling out and put the headset on first then its fine, transfers to the headset etc. If I am wearing the headset and then take a call its fine, transfers to headset etc. But if I am not wearing the headset, say it’s in its case and the arm is closed then I get a call, I open the arm and stick the headset on and answer a call and nothing. Wont transfer to headset and I need to use the phone. Not good when driving! Is this still a XDA II problem? Have I set it up wrong or is the headset not working right? Bascially I need to have the arm open on the headset at all times for it to work like it should (like it did on my T68i) and its very annoying? Any ideas?
This is the headset http://www.motorola.com/mdirect/software/ss_html_docs/bluetooth/bluetooth_headset_info.pdf
Thanks in advance
Have you installed bluetooth tools? Unbond your headset then rebond after installing bluetooth tools.
What the best place to get the bluetooth tools from? Sorry if this has already been asked. And are they free??
Thanks
Yeah I did try bluetooth tools but it did not seem to make any difference maybe its just my headset, it was like one of the first Bluetooth headsets out :? I dunno...
You can get Bluetooth tools from...http://www.angeltowns.com/town/bluetooth/
And it seems to be free
Thanks for that.
However, I could not find the settings button, Just a display on the screen. What are the 1 & 2 buttons for??
:?
Yeah the only changes you see are when adding new devices like headsets etc as far as I know. I thought the same as you, went through all the options looking for it hehe. Those two things on the screen are something to do with selecting different settings for bluetooth to conserve battery like always on or auto off. I am not too sure as I removed it when it did not fix my problem!
Yeah, I removed it too. It caused me all sorts of problems with connecting my bluetooth jabra bt200!
Sorry if you have already read this but I am still having a problem!!
I got the new Bluetake iphone mini stereo headphones for christmas and was hoping to use them with my MDA Pro (running the new O2 ROM).
I have them paired as a "Hands Free" device...
I know that I can't use the stereo features until the new A2DP patch come out (hopefully soon!), however what I want to be able to do is use voice command to initiate calls etc. However when I press the call/power or Play/Pause button all I hear is a beep from the headset and nothing hapens on the PDA...
However I can use the button to answer and hangup a call (as long as I answered it with the handset...) If I initiate the call on the MDA then I can't hangup with the headset...
Am I doing something wrong or does it sound like something is faulty??
Any advice?
Thanks
Andy.
I actually had an oportunity to try out the voice levels and sound is awful! I also tried to connect it to my SE T610 and it refused and it did the same when I tried to connect it to my Toshiba M200 tablet PC as in both cases it never asked for the passkey...
I am begining to think that they must be faulty??
But becuase I have never had a BT headset before so I'm not sure if I am doing something stupid!
Andy
I have managed to try a SE BT headset with my MDA Pro and it did work and activate voice command. So it would seem that the headset is faulty. Does anyone have any ideas before I send it back?
Andy
Please!! Is there anyone here who can comment on whether they think these are broken or if I am just incompetent!
If they are broken then I need to send them back really soon...
FWIW, my Jabra BT330 and the SE HBH-662 just need a single quick click to activate the voice dial, but these Plantronics Pulsar 590A things I just got (which are fandabidosi by the way!) need a prolonged press to do the same.
Have you tried keeping your finger on the button for a while?
Ferg.

Just looked at the instructions for the bluetake i-phone (bt450rx),
(got them myself for xmas)
and it does not say that you can connect to the phone for voice control,
however you should be able to hang up from the headset.
i have got the k-jam (wizard) and can dial from the k-jam and hangup from the headset.
voice control may not be available because the new bluetooth stereo headset's are ready for AVRCP (Audio Video Remote Control Profile).
the older bluetake headset bt420rx can be used for voice control but do not have AVRCP function.
I hope i am wrong, but it may be the answer you have not been looking for.
Hmm... That sounds bad...
I only have a few days left to return it and don't know whether to get a replacement or to go for a different headset?
i like the idea of being able to play/pause/f-foward/rewind via the headset(when bt v2 upgrade is available), because music playback is more important to me than voice dial.
of course if you can send it back, then perhaps just wait until bt v2 is available, and then buy a headset for the uses you require it for.(wish there was an emotion with cross eyes) LOL
I know what you mean but I would still be able to use voice command!!
Does anyone else have the 450Rx and a universal and could test it for me?
if you do prove me wrong (and i hope you do) please let me know.
answering this problem further,
the bluetake i-phono mini headset cannot be used for voice command,
however the motorola ht820 can be used for voice control.
Had similar issues with my headset (not the same type). In the end, I had enable secure mode on the universal, pair the devices, select serial port and then immediately initiate the voice dial, otherwise it didn't work.
Gareth
I decided to play it safe and returned it back to Expansys for a refund. When someone else gets a set of stereo headphones and A2DP is out... and crucially they can confirm it works! Then I'll buy a new one!
Cheers
Andy
one good thing with motorola ht820 is that they can be used with a detatchable cable, so whilst i'm using them bluetooth for the phone side, i can still hear good quality music.
also i know from trying them with my wife's qtek s110 that you can control windows media player as well.
you may have already tried this, but just in case you haven't,
install and run the three files for either "bt off", "bt on", or "bt toggle",
this will switch all audio to the bt headset or away,
of course quality is not good, but at least no cables.
ps. if the headset is switch off and you put bt on, you will get an on screen error message.

Do they come with this cable as standard?
EDIT: Did a search, and they do.... might just buy them now and sell my Sony EX-71's.... would they we at least the same in terms of sound quality? It's the thing people talk about least with these devices!
So lemme see if I got this right.... even before I get A2DP installed on my Exec, I can listen to perfect music using the cable, and also use the hphones as a bluetooth headset as well? Will the music still pause etc when a call comes in?
Just bought a pair of HT820's on Ebay there.... £38, not too bad. Should get about £25-30 for two pairs of existing headphones, so well please.
Has anyone been able to make these headphones work with the wizard?
I have searched forums but cannot find a solution.
Hp do not have any drivers to install onto wm5 operating system.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
you don't need drivers. Just use search to find the cab update en use them.
I've just received mine: they work perfectly!
just bought a set, Help
:?: Hello, I just bought a set of these off ebay, have t-mobile mda vario flashed with the cingular rom. I am reading your posts, but cannot figure out what you are talking about with the cab update. my device finds the hp headphones just fine, but there is no usage choices listed,how do I get these things to work? is there an install file I can download? Please help.
HasC,
I've got the Logitech one and they are the same as HP.
Power of the headphones and keep pressing the power button until the led flashes red.
Then you can connect it to the wizzard with the usual 0000 pin.
Did it with mine and it works.
Cheers,
Drifter
thanks for reply, but pairing not the problem
Hello, they paired just fine with the wizard, but how do I tell the wizard to play the audio through the headphones and not the internal speaker?
Drifter, you the man!!!
Mine is working beautifully now, your instruction to wait for red light to flash solved the problem.
Thanx
totally confused now???
Hello again, They are paired, but there is nothing listed in "Services to use from this device" List, is there some software or driver I need to install? is there some menu choice I need to select somewere. Please help.
jappetto,
I am also using the cingular ROM, all I did to make them work was to follow Drifter's example on pairing them. Once they were paired it just worked straight off any audio player that I used, eg Mort player or windows media player, WM allows me to forward tracks as well.
I really dont know why you are having trouble, try removing all bluetooth paired devices from your phone and pair the headphones first. This may help
Still confused
"cab update en" sounds like software I need to download. am I using the wrong rom?
tried deleting all and pairing headphones first.
sees them but there is no services listed to use. how do you tell media player to play through headphones? does it happen automatically when you turn yours on? or is there a button or command I am missing?
read all about the A2DP update in the Tornado forum as well as the A2DP threads here before you start to use your headsets. You will need A2DP to make these awsome HP headphones work to their fullest abilities.
Japetto,
I am using this ROM:
ftp://xda:[email protected]_RUU_WIZARD_217_AKU2_WWE_CF2_A2DP.exe
It has A2DP settings configured already.
When you pair the headphones with this ROM installed, make sure your volume is not on silent on phone (should adjust automatically) when using headphones. If you are using WM player and cannot hear sound through headphones, press round connect button between the volume and track forward/reverse buttons ( the same one used to pair the headphones). this should establish a link with the headphones and start working.
No other software/drivers are needed to make them work.
Hope this helps.
ive got the normal tmobile uk rom...would it work??
what its the quality of sound from the headphones...when compared to the headphones given with the MDA Vario
also could someone direct me to a link where i can buy them from
Thanks
I'll Try it
thank you HasC
SBouri,
No, you need to change ROM so that it is A2DP compliant, at present t-mobile have no ROMS for this, mine was originally T-mobile ROM.
The quality of the headphones are fantastic, they are better than vario supplied ones because they are wireless and I have had the phone upstairs and was able to listen from kitchen downstairs, occasionally there was some interference, but close range, worked seamlessly for me.
HasC, fair enough mate..ermm i'd rather not upgrade my rom as i dont want to take any risks which will turn it into a brick
i am a techi but the phone doesnt give problems as other people post about..so id rather just keep the current t mobile rom
thanks for the reply though

You don't ned to upgrade your rom to get your stock Tmobile MDA to work with BT stereo headsets!
Just install the A2DP hack.cab found in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=48535&highlight=a2dp and your stereo headset should show all options for Handsfree, Headset and Wireless Stereo.
I have not upgraded my rom, as I agree with SBour, I *can* do it but it's not worth it to me just yet....
I am using the stock Tmobile Rom, the A2DP hack and I-Tech Clip s35 stereo headset. The sound is lound and crystal clear.
Jaidnoire, nice one mate, will give it a go and ill order the headphones asap...i found a site through kelkoo for £48...is that cheap compared to any other sites you may know of?
Can anyone tell me what the battery life is on the Motorola HT820? As i manily want to listen to MP3s of my Vario
The HT820 manual claims 14 hours for music listening or 17 hours talk time.
Ok, this is going to sound really daft and I know alot of you are going to say, "Whats this guy raving on about??", lol
Ok, here goes.
My wizard is on a phone holder in my lorry, usede for Tomtom.
I have a works mobile, with a bluetooth headset. (Also works).
The headset can only be paired to one phone at a time and although I dont get many calls on either phone it would be nice to work out a way to use one headset on both phones.
So now the question, does anyone know of a way I can basically forward the audio, over BT to the wizard from the works phone, and then have the wizard output that audio, again over BT, to the headset?
I'm not botherd aboout the button control as I can use the phone for answering and hanging up.
I have a set of bluetooth earphones that are capable of both audio and hands-free, but I only want to use them for audio. This is easy, as you just untick the hands-free option when you pair them with the phone.
However, when I turn the earphones on the phone pops up a message saying "the device is trying to connect to use a hands-free headset or car kit with your phone". I then have the option to accept or reject this pairing. This happens every time I turn the earphones on, so it's getting quite annoying (especially since I turned off the hands-free option when I originally paired!)
I simply want to stop this message popping up, so I need to know if there's a way of making the phone automatically reject the request for the earphones to act as a hands-free kit.
I've been all through the bluetooth settings and didn't find anything, but I'll ask the question on here in the hope that someone else has some ideas.
Thanks
Hey john, can't help you on this one m8.
Just needed to comment on how strange it seems you asking the forum questions instead of everyone asking you, and you sorting out our problems.
Good look on your quest
Heh - cheers mate. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
Can't really help you but I can tell you what I have seen ...
I have a rocketfish BT headset ....
once it is paired and I authorize the connection, I can shut off either or and it does not ask me for the other, it will connect to the headset if I hit a "media" button on the headset though ...
I wonder if the device you are using is "Asking" to reconnect even though it is already paired ...
just my .02

It only asks me to accept or reject the hands-free connection - the audio connection just connects. I believe it is the earphones that are trying to connect as a headset, so I just need a way to tell the phone to automatically refuse that connection, just like it automatically accepts the audio one.
This is after I've turned off the earphones, and then turned them back on again, like the first time I've used them in a day. It's not during regular use.
Grrrr
I think this may have more to do with your particular headphones than the HD2. Meaning your headphones just don't quite match up with the HD2's wonky bluetooth implementation. I use a cheap bluetooth stereo receiver from DealExtreme. I don't know the model, but it shows up as BCK-08. It can pair as stereo audio or handsfree. I have it set to do both, and I never get a pop up like that. Can you do that, or do you specifically want to disable hands free?
PS. This title was funny. When I saw it on the main HD2 page it said Bluetooth - stop asking... I was sure that it was going to say stop asking how to control other media players, besides Sense, with a bluetooth headset. This still isn't possible right?
