Switching Between Multiple BT Headset Devices??

I have an i-Mate (v1.52.00WWE) and two (2) BlueTooth headset devices:
Parrot CK v3.11 - Car Kit
M3000 by Plantronics - Ear Piece
Both are bonded, but I guess I can only ever set one as my default at any time (obviously you can't have the call ringing in two places at once - but that would solve the problem!).
Is there a way of switching between them simply?, or having them 'auto select' the correct default profile?, or having them both active at once? I currently have to rediscover them to switch.
Would this be made easier if the i-Mate had both Headset and Handsfree (?) profiles? Is this available?
Hope its not such a silly question :lol:
Thanks in advance,
Ian

I have BT carkit, and BT handsfree,
and I have the same problem.
With my Nokia 6600, it works great,
there's no "default profile",
both works.

Even more confused now
Thanks for the reply - I'm even more confused.

What I ment to say that with the 6600 it works great, :lol:
unlink the i-mate pocket pc. :roll:

I have just purchased the xdaII and found this problem too...
Have you found out any more info on this?
The only thing i can do at the moment is rename the bluetooth device and it then prompts me to set as default...

Thanks for the tip
No I have not found out more.
I tried the widcomm drivers, but found headset was all screwed up.
Thanks for the tip on rename. I have been deleting and recreating.

Now we only need a application on the Today that can rename the two BT devices and back.
Maybey a reg.key-file we can 'click' ??

One more of the shortcommings of XDAII in anything related to the BT sofware.
I read about a new ROM version comming out soon, that is supposed to fix the those BT problems, Has anyone more info on that?
:?:

I just rx'd my Plantronics M3000 headset. It bonds to my XDA2 but I cannot for the life of me, answer or make a call with the headset.
1. When searching for a Bluetooth device, it finds the M3000 by Plantronics
2. I highlight it & tap next
3. I enter the bond code
4. I give it a name & tap finish.
Then it asks me, "This Bluetooth device supports headset profile, would you like to set it as your bluetooth headset?"
I answered Yes but I can't do the calling. Should this be answered No?
I originate a call on the XDA2, when it connects, I press and release the headset TALK button, hear a tone in the earpiece but the call never switches to the headset.
I have the green 3 sec blinking green light so unit is on. XDA2 has the blue indicator blinking.
Any feedback would be helpful since you do have the Plantronics,
Regards

Hi cshields1!
I don't have a Plantronics, but two SE HBH 30 and HBH 35 that work "somehow" with my XDAII.
First I would reccomend you to upgrade your ROM, since the Bluetooth radio stack of version 1.06.01 seem to have improved a bit over the previous ones (just in case you haven't yet)
Second, no matter what you do, actually you would NOT be able to initiate a call from your headset, you just can answer an incoming call and end a call, that is with the poor BT support in the XDAII.
Third, I'm not sure what you do, but please check:
- once your headset is bonded, turn your BT setting back to ON (BT icon on the bottom right of the Today screen)
- be sure your phone is NOT in flight mode
- Check that your "BT headset mode" in Today Screen is enabled
Tell me if this works.
:wink:

Bluetooth Headset

I have a bluetooth headset working fine for calls, however have 2 questions. Has anyone gotten the headset working for things other than calls, such as media player? Also I have a problem with answering the phone with bluetooth turned off, if I turn it on while on the call and give it a minute to sync with headset and then try to transfer the call to the headset it won't work. But if I hang up and call right back the bluetooth will work.

I have the same problem but regrettably no answer: ( :? :? :?

bleuthooth headset
hello i have the bt g2 it s only 12 gramms and its works fine with my mda 2

You can listen media player with your headset ????
Without specific manipulation??? Not possible
:shock: :shock:

Hi every1!
Actually, until someone (HTC, Micro$oft, or anyone else) comes out with a new Bluetooth stack that support the full Handsfree profile, (something any BT equipped mobile phone already does) there is NO other use of headphones.
Even the more simple functions are not implemented.
I think this is the worst part of the Himalayas right now. A wonderfull piece of hardware, but very poor phone functions.... to say the least.

This is the BT Handsfree that Im using now. So far so good. No connection failure.

Handsfree?
Hi nelsonlye!
Sorry to say, but, This is not a headset?
Could you be more specific on the brand and model and the "handsfree" functions it supports?
Does it allow Voice Dial or any other voice input?
It looks like a conventional headset, so if no other functions are implemented, it IS a headset, NOT a handsfree device.
Furthermore, until HTC or Microsoft release a new Bluetooth stack, looks like no new functions will be available. And it seems it will take forever!
Regards.

Bluetooth Tools & Nokia Handsfree Advice?

I'm aware of the various BT issues with the XDA II, and therefore installed BT Tools thinking it may allow me to use my handfree kit. Unfortunately I'm experiencing problems and not sure if this is me doing something wrong or there is a problem with the software. Basically the XDA II does not route either incoming or outgoing calls via the handfrees unit. I have do the following:-
1. Installed the latest BT Tools.
2. Created a bond with the Nokia Handfree kit, when prompted for the BT profile (the BT Tools icon screen) I select headset only.
3. Enable BT on the XDA II
When I make or receive a call is there any button or menu I should be selecting to enable the handsfree unit?

From the Today screen, make sure bluetooth headset mode is enabled.

And if Bluetooth Headset Mode does not appear on the today screen:
Start -> Settings -> Today -> Items and make sure Profile is checked. That will put the headset mode switch on the Today screen.

Thanks for the suggestions, I must admit I had missed the headset profile on the Today screen.
Even with the device paired, BT enabled & the Headset enable neither incoming or outgoing calls are routed through the handsfree unit.
Any other suugestions welcomed...

With the new bluetooth tools you need to transfer the call to the headset...
I find the best way when dialing is to have the phone ready to dial, then i hit the answer button on the headset causing the phone to dial & transfer sound to the headset @ the same time.
When answering the call the headset should ring and you press the answer button on the headset to recieve the call.

When you say press the headset button are you referring to the headset icon on the XDA or the Nokia handsfree button?
If its the Nokia button , I'll try this tomorrow, if not, then the icon does not ring and when receiving a call it is covered by the incoming call window.
Many thanks...

the nokia headset button

Yep thats what I thought, I think I can confidently say there is a compatability issue with using the current version of BT Tools with the new Nokia CK-7W handsfree kit.
I've read the user manual for the handfree kit and that refers to switching/transferring the call between the BT devices using the button. The unit clicks as if there's something happening, but no call is heard, the unit works perfectly with a BT phone connected both Nokia & Motorola.

I would try uninstalling pocket BT tools - for using a headset it is of no additional value anyway. I do not have it installed and have never had any problems making or receiving calls with my SE HBH-30 headset.

Try using the earlier version of bluetooth tools, make sure you uninstall the version you have and also unbond/remove bluetooth pairings, rebond after successful install.

Pocket Bluetooth Tools is perfect! This is what I'm looking for, except I can't figure out how to listen to music thru my bluetooth headset.
Thanks for the great tool though, now I can make calls with my headset.

The BIG advantage is battery life and not having to re-enable the headset profile each time you switch on the phone! With both PBT and/or Profile not displayed, I also get more Today real estate to play with.
With BT on all the time, I'm lucky to get four hours usage out of my Xda II, with PBT turning it off after five minutes the time can go up to almost seven. Sure, there is a short lag between call coming in and the headset (HBH-65) ringing but I can live with that and it even works well with Pocket Zen Phone. I also like the last number redial facility it adds to my headset. PBT rocks!

I found one problem with this program. My device won't automatically turn off after installing this tool. The backlight turns off, but not the device after certain minutes set. Who do I report the problem too.

i have got this problem to carnt get the xda i to connect to my car blue tooth hands free kit it finds the kit but nothing gome on guy get ya thinking heads on n help :idea: to revolve this problem

Hi everyone,
well, I got the same problem :x with my XDA2, also called Qtek 2020, and Nokia carkit 112. It just does'nt work, even with BT tools. But I wonder how you get the icon screen while connecting to your Nokia carkit...cause mine is going straight back to the "Bluetooth connected devices" screen. I only got the icon screen, enabling the profile selection, while connecting to my Nokia 6310i phone.
Let's hope that HTC is gonna come up with Handsfree profile soon...
Regards to all, special ones to our OZ friends!! Mates, I really enjoyed living in Sydney, even if Italy is quite convenient as well.

How to make bluetooth turn off automatically?

The idia is to use bluetooth headset (in my case HBH-600) with SE T630 and my Compact.
T630 pairs with headset only during incoming or outgoing call, in stand-by mode my headset is absolutly free to connect to my Compact.
And since my Compact connected to handsfree it's not letting it go. Even when my device is turned off headset remains connected to it. On the one hand it's good, but in order to make headset work with two devices I should get rid of that feature.
I've seen a thread where people (with feature mentioned above) said that our devices don't think that answering a call is "using" the device and turn off. So other party of conversation couldn't hear anything.
Do you have any ideas how to break bluetooth connection with headset after call?
Thanks in advance.

Perhaps Pocket Bluetooth Tools will help you, it can auto-off the BT on the device after the call is complete and re-enable it when a call comes in.
Be aware, however, that some people find it can cause more problems than it solves - I however love it on my Xda II.

Thanks for tip.
I've tried that a long time ago, but found it of no use for me at that moment.
I remember that there is "settings" for it, but now I can't find it.
And another question. On that site it is said that program supports bluetooth handsfree and headset profile, and what about voice dialing?

you also can use Pocket Zen Phone.. schedule your profile to set the bluetooth off at certain time.

A2DP and Handsfree question

I have successfully made my ANYCOM stereo Bluetooth headphones ( http://tuxtops.com/node/464 ) to work wtih my HTC Wizard using the "wireless stereo" instructions that were posted the other day on this forum.
When you set it as "wireless stereo", is it supposed to also switch to handsfree functionality automatically? You see, over here this doesn't happen. The music stops when I get an incoming call, but I don't get the person's voice through my headset. The headset does not switch to handsfree mode.
Is this normal? Or something else is wrong?
I connected to my headset by clicking "set as a wireless stereo". If I also click "set as a handsfree", I don't get any music you see. So, why my headphones don't automatically change mode to handsfree on an incomming call? Anyone else with this problem?

i have the same problem but it doesn't bother me.
but if there is a fix then this would be cool and easier.

A2DP support for HTC Wizard can be obtained by using this hack/tweak: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=275506#275506
didn't try it myself, but has been reported to work on HTC Wizard and other Windows Mobile 5 devices.

Any solution so far?? I will receive my Anycom BSH-100 within the next days...

I don't think there is a solution apart from praying for a new ROM.

it might be a problem with the headset and rom
did you try repairing it?
because i know everything works fine for me using itech stereo
when a call comes in, it switches no problem
