Bluetooth headset as earphones - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General

Does anyone know how in WM5 I can make my Plantronics M2500 bluetooth headset, which shows up in bluetooth xection as "headset" work like an external speaker? In pocket2003 on my h6315 I was able to tell it to have all sound, or just phone sound go to my bluetooth, and I rather enjoyed listening to music while working. But I cannot find even half the options in the bluetooth section as in 2003.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
p.s. loving my MDA.

I found this out by accident. If you are running Microsoft Voice Command, evidently it does not shut down the link to the headset. I have found that if I start playing something (i.e., in Windows Media Player) and then activate Voice Command, and then just let Voice Command time out, the sound will switch to the bluetooth headset.
And Voice Command allows you to control the Media Player, as well!

headset as ear phones
I tried playing my media player then activationg voice command. Sorry didn't work for me. after the voice command timed out, it reverted to the mda speaker. Any thoughts?

There is a utility for this. It comprises 3 programs.
One turns on blutooth as the speaker, one turns it off, and the third toggles it.
I found this somewhere in the forum but can't remember where so I've attached it here.
Copy the programs to your wizard and run them as needed.

do a search for VJVolubilis. That will do what you are looking for also. I stream radio to the headset while at work pretending to be busy!

MP3 via BlueTooth

I need to listen to MP3s throught the bluetooth headset.
I don't need a good sound quality - it's just for speech.
I just want to play that MP3 continuously (again and again) so I'd be able to put on paper as much as possible.
So is there a way to play a MP3 (or any other sound format) using the BT headset?
i think it require a bluetooth profile which the xda2 dont currently support
I use a SouthWing BT headset, bought on Ebay.co.uk for around £35.
It supports both the BT handsfree and headset profile, which the XDA2 supports too.
I can listen to MP3's or use it to take or make calls. You should be able to use any BT headset that supports the headset profile, most only support the handsfree mode.
MP3s through Bluetooth
I have a Plantronics M3000 headset when I bonded it with my XDA II I selected the option for the headset profile from BT Tools. When I switch on the headset mode from the Today Screen I get a bleep on the headset but no audio is transferred to the headset it still comes out of the speaker. Do I need to tweak any other settings?
Im guessing that the Plantronics is not fully compatable with the headset profile.
Thanks for any help.

OK. Where can I get the required BT profile? Does the Widcomm driver have it?
It normally works on my PC - I can listen to all sounds form PC throught the BT dongle and BT headset. So it's just a question of driver. Where can I get it for my XDA2?

Can u provide more details please? I couldn't find your mentioned headset from Ebay.co.uk
This ie the companies web site - http://www.south-wing.com/
When I was setting up the pairing on my XDAII it recognised the earpiece as having the headset protocol and asked if i wanted to connect using the headset profile or the handsfree profile, I chose the headset one. It still works perfectly as a handsfree earpiece but also allows me to listen to anything played with the windows media player, which i use for MP3's.
It also works with a PC using a bluetooth dongle, I use it as a handsfree phone for my home phone.
how does it handle music ?
i mean does it play one channel of the stereo
or does it play joind mono ?
to me listening to music with 1 ear is pretty useless
can you please also elaborate which rom version ? pocket BT tools installed or not? which BT stack?
the headset and handsfree profile are supported by MOST BT headsets
my jabra 250 suppprts both profiles, but I am never able to channel windows media output through the BT headset ((
so any info would be very insghtful

Hi captin,
I had a look on the website. It didn't mention that the handsfree can support xda2. Also, there's no info at all that it can be used to listen mp3.
Can u show us more how you do it?
Thanks

I think you must be the only person on the planet that has mp3 working through bluetooth without any patches/hacks/etc, can you please elaborate more because it doesnt work for anybody else.
I am using a Plantronics M1000 (M1500) with iMate 1.52.00WWE.
With Pocket Bluetooth Tools I can use it for Phone calls but not MP3.
Annoyances are -
1. I can't initiate dialling from teh Headset unless I dial from the phone and then hangup (even if BT permanently on).
2. If I leave BT permanently on the Headset battery goes flat very quickly in standby.
3. If a Call comes in on Call Waiting, the call transfers to the phone and I can't get it back to the Headset

Bluetooth/XDA 11 Integration
Hi Guys,
Just thought I would let you know that New Answer Ltd have done bespoke integration work into Bluetooth headsets. For the application that you are talking about, it is possible to develop an app to run MP audio apps to any bluetooth headset. get intouch with [email protected]
Dan
Yesterday, I tried w/ Kai's Bluetooth Headset patch
I've found that it doesn't work with XDAII.
So, I'm still waiting for the new patch.
Besides, does anyone know what Tobias, Pocket Tools developer, is doing?
I've sent emails to him serveral timee But there is no reply. His website also stop progressing as well.
Headset Profile
So, the XDA 2 does not have the profile that allows MP3's to be played through a headset. But does anyone know a profile that allows voice dialing from the headset? South-Wing has voice dialing from the headset but captin is the only person i know who has it working on the XDA 2. Anyone got any suggestions?

Unfortunately, it's not as simple as just a profile. Since a third party voice dialing software has to be manually added to the XDA II (its not built in), the headset would have no way of knowing which application to "activate" when the headset button was pressed. The only way I see this happening is, if someone can hack the bluetooth stack to detect a headset button press, then route the command to a voice dial software installed on the XDA II. Ideally, the dll would have an interface that would allow you to select the application you want executed when the bluetooth headset button is pressed.
Rumor has it that the iPaq 6300 won't have voice activated dialing either - and it will have the best bluetooth software stack around, the Widcomm stack. If it won't support it, I wouldn't have much hope for the XDA II unless some hacker decides to give it a try. But it sounds like a lot of work.
Reply from South Wing
I sent a email to South Wing about compatibility with the XDA 2 and i got this reply
The XDA II does not support the Bluetooth hands-free profile which is used by the NeoVoice USB headset and gives access to the various hands-free mode features of the device.
However, it supports the headset profile also supported by the NeoVoice USB. This means you can make and receive calls perfectly and use functions of the headset like voice dialing.
Overall, without the hands-free mode capability, the features you would miss on are only the following ones: rejecting a call, transferring a call to the phone, last number redialing and disconnecting from the phone.
The headset is available online from expansys.com (type NeoVoice in the search box) where you may acquire the USB cable and car charger for little more.
There you have it from the horses mouth, hope this is some help

Hmmm. Interesting. But I still don't see how voice dialing can be supported through the headset. Again, the XDA II has no built in voice dialing software, so there's nothing to standardize on. Therefore, your only option is a third party dialing app. So, if you were to install something like Microsoft's Voice Dial, the headset would have no way of knowing that it needs to call the Microsoft Voice Dial EXE when you press the headset button. Other bluetooth phones that do support voice dial can use headsets that, when you press the headset button, can call standard API's that initiate the voice dialing capability on the phone. The XDA II does not have this standard API set.
Anyway, I'm still more interested in pushing standard sound like MP3's and audio books through the BT headset. But the voice dialing stuff is interesting nonetheless.

BT Headset issue. Please help.

Hi. I have a Spring ppc-6700 running wm5 with the latest rom.
My problem is that I cannot use the BT headset to talk on Skype or to listen to music from the computer. I do not know how to switch to the headset. It's paired and i see the headset icon on the screen. Before the latest rom i used to press the action button on the headset and it would switch to it. Now when i press the button i get this annoying voice dialing feature.
OT: When i use skype it only works in speakerphone mode. Any way i can get skype to work through the earpiece so emulate talking on the phone?
Thanks.
This is normal behavior.
Skype does not support the phone functions on Pocket PC and so your (mono) Bluetooth headset does not get its sound. The same happens for ANY application that is not part of the "phone" functionality of the Pocket PC. The mono Bluetooth headsets ONLY work with applications that recognize the "HSP or HFP Bluetooth profiles".
>Any way i can get skype to work through the earpiece
There are two ways to do that:
1. Email Skype and tell them to get their sh*t together and provide a phone-friendly version of Skype that supports HSP/HFP.
2. Buy a *stereo* Bluetooth headset. This will work both for music and general pocketPC sound (in A2DP/AVRCP mode) and in HFP/HSP mode (for phone calls). With a stereo Bluetooth headset you can hear the Skype sound on your headphones, but you will still need to talk using the PocketPC's microphone (until Skype supports the HSP/HFP profile that is). For normal phone calls, you will be able to use the headphones and microphones of the BT headset directly.
It all boils down to applications support the HSP/HFP BT profile.
i've used the bluetooth headset with skype before but after this update with the stupid voice dialer app, i just can't get it to work at all. I want to get rid of voice dialer app. and have sound being routed to the headset as before.
I tried BTAudioToggle.exe with no success. Absolutely nothing happens.
FIXED.
I went to
HK_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\VOICECOMMAND\Path
And cleared the path. This way when i press the bluetooth button on the headset it just activates the headset profile but doesn't launch the stupid voice dialer which shuts off the headset profile.

Play music through bluetooth headset?

Is it possible to play music through a bluetooth headset? Not a stereo headset, just a normal, mono headset.
If so, does it automatically pause the music when you get a call?
yes you can using the bt audio software on http://www.htcwizardweb.net/system/files?file=btaudio.zip
download it unzip it and copy the folder to your storage card or your pda and enable or disable it at your convinience. hope i was helpfull
I tried that BT Audio app with the 750, and it doesn't work. I also tried every media player I could find...still nothing.
Has anyone had success with this theory working? I need it in a BAD way.
Here is a .cab file that does what you want it to do.
First activate your Bluetooth unit. Then stream your music or whatever. Then turn on the software. It works quite well.
Enjoy !!!
What I do for my 8125 is activate the BT toggling program and then Mortplayer. I tie the two programs together using MortScript and then activate a playlist through voice command by creating a shortcut into the Programs file.

BEAUTIFUL THING
Bluetooth Audio
I've downloaded the bluetooth audio to my Samsung Blackjack II and installed it. I have tried several combinations of steps to get the music to play through my headset but I cant get it to work. Do you have any suggestions for me? Is there a specific bluetooth headset I need to get? Or did I just mess something up?
Hey thanks alot for this cab because I've been looking for this cab all over and finally you had the solution to my problem.....
I just installed that cab file and while it seems to function correctly by sending music to the earpiece on the phone, it does not send it to the BT device. The BT device acknowledges when the program is turned on and when it is turned off, but no sound is coming out.
I'm using a Blackjack2 and an Isymphony BT headset/speaker which is not stereo.
I just want to be able to hear my phone on my BT headset/speaker.
Is there some setting I'm missing? Does this program not work? Why for some and not others? Where can I find documentation? Who made that program?
Well, I dont know why you blackjack people are here(this being the Wizard forum and all!), but what I used to use on my Excalibur is the little shareware program called:BTAUDIO(link at bottom of post)
Its shareware in the fact that it only works for 30 minutes at a time, but it does indeed send ALL audio that the phone emits to your bluetooth headset.
Instructions:
1-Install BTAUDIO .cab to your phone
2-Activate your bluetooth headset, and put it in "find" mode
3-Goto your phones comm manager and turn Blueooth on
4-Now pair your headset with your phone
5-Start BTAUDIO
6-Follow the instructions on the screen and BAM, you are done!
I hope that helps!
DOWNLOAD LINK FOR BTAUDIO=
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9MLLW0MC
Thanks for the reply.
I gave this program a try and it didn't seem to work either. I'm guessing it's a BlackJack problem. That download appeared to be pretty much the same thing as the other link to the "BTaudio" program by Triangle but is limited to 30 minutes, like you said. The first link was not limited to 30 minutes. (so you might want to check that one out)
As for why the Blackjack guys are coming here I'm guessing it's the same reason I found this place. A Google search.
The Blackjack forums don't seem to have any solution other than... "go spend another $75 on a new set of headphones"
Myself, I want to use a BT mono speaker for listening to mono recordings and don't really want a stereo headset.
Thanks for all your help!
THANX for the CAB file
REaly thank you for the cab file works gr8.......................................
Thanks...
This one is very nice. I can't speak for others, but here is what I've learned in a short time....
My personalized ring tones are now coming through the BT, along with the called annoucement. Sorta disorienting, but I like it. I bet if I disable call annoucements, this will fix it. I'll look around..... Thanks for this tweak....
I love it!
thanks

Hands-Free as "wired headset" on TyTN

Using the Voice Command over Bluetooth registry hack I am able to have the BT headset kick in and work with Voice Command perfectly well. I can even change the registry setting to have it run something else, like te Media Player, and hear music over my head set (It's a Jabra XJ10 btw). Problem is, the headset stays connected for only about 15 seconds, before switching off and the TyTN using it's main speaker again. Has anyone figured out how to keep the connection on by any chance?
It shows that playing music over a non BT Stereo headset is possible. But it stops automatically after 15 seconds as voicecommand restarts. I think there is some way to rework this so we can listen to music with the BT headset.

The 15 second thing applies even when te button is made to run media player, or some other software, not just voicecommand. I am hoping there is some registry fix that can be changed to fix this. Either that, or some hardware registry fix that would allow me to change the already-detected handsfree profile of my headset into a BT Stereo profile. If anyone has a BT stereo headset and access to registry settings for it, please post them here so I can try messing with it. Thanks.
I did see a program some where on here that allowed you to click a check box and it put all audio through the BT headset. Search around, I'll see if I can find it again.

Listen to the music with Jabra BT3010

Hello, I have bought a Jabra BT3010. If I used it for a call, it is great. But if I want to use it for listening to the music, I can't. A was tring set it as Wireless stereo, but this funcion is "gray". Is there any way to use it for listening to the music?
PS: I'm sorry, if this problem was discuss somewhere here, but I did not find anything...
I think, I have found what I need. It si BlueTooth Audio v1.0. I have just download it and it works great, but I don't try, what happed if someone call me.
you mean you want to listen to your music playing through your bluetooth right?
I belive what you need is this just install it to your device
Windows
Start Menu
Programs
I can't upload it here
E-mail me if you need it thou.
Ok, I have tried BlueTooth Audio v1.0 and also I made script (with MortScript), that I mapped on left softkey. So allways I want to listen the music, I run Audio Manager and than run the script. That script turn off my screen, run BlueTooth Audio v1.0 and then lock the keyboard, so I can continue listening on Bluetooth handset. If some call me, I can answer like normal, but after the call I have to lunch the script again.
Are anyone know about any similliar program?
Should have gotten the Jabra BT 8040 -- it supports the stereo profile and works great on the Kaiser without additional software (WM6.1 or newer)
