how do I get BT headset to work with tomtom/media player

I've just installed the latestst T-Mob US 2.26 rom...
Is there any tweaks etc that will allow tomtom directions to come through the BT headset rather than speaker phone... it would also be good for listening to music etc via the bt headset...
any ideas anyone?
thanks

hi Mike,
thanks for the link - gave both methods a try - didnt work
cheers anyway

This program is what you need. I've only tried it with Windows Media Player, but it should work well with others.

Where's the program?
Hey. Sorry I'm probably being reeeally stupid here but I can't seem to find a link or anything from Blue streak to his program. Sounds like a great piece of kit but dunno how to get it :shock:
Thanks

Hi, i'm trying to get my bluetooth headset to work with audio also but I can't seem to know how to install these 3 exe files. Could you please show me where and how to install these applications? Thanks.

Guys, VJVolubilis might be able to do this.
Use the AGON and bluetooth features.

No need for install...
just copy the exe to your phone

thanks guys. The files work great.

Bluetooth Mono Headset + Redirect sound to it (cab)

Hi!
I've been reading a lot of these forums about activating A2DP with a mono-bluetooth headsets, and found (in different places) some different ways, (change a couple of registry settings and with some pocket pc/headset one had to change a file called BTAGExt.dll)
I have made a CAB file for these hacks and also included the file "BTAGExt_new.dll" I call it _new because I change the registry to locate this new file instead of the old, that way one doesn't have to overwrite the dll file and can, if problems occur, change in the registry instead. The file is needed for some (me included) that are having trouble with music playing in the headset for about 10seconds.
Anyway, i have made a self-installing cab file for this, so that other people may use it easily, without need of hacking the registry, one does not need to use btaudioon and similar program to make this work,
EDIT: AS many people pointed out, here are the instructions to USE this , sorry for that:

It is nice to see my little hack being used
BE AWARE:
*VoiceCommand DOESN'T WORK!! (since my cab disables it in favour of all-sound in headset)
*I take NO RESPONSIBILITY if this crashes your phone or anything else, USE IT AT OWN RISK!
* It only changes this things:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2DP\Settings]
"UseJointStereo"=dword:00000000
"BitPool"=dword:0000003a
"MaxSupportedBitPool"=dword:00000050
"MinSupportedBitPool"=dword:0000000e
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Builtin\BtA2dpSnd]
"Priority256"=dword:0000003c
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\VoiceCommand]
"LaunchApEnable"=dWord:1
"VoiceCmdDuration"=dWord:15180
And copies this file: BTAGExt_new.dll to \Windows (or whatever windows dir you have)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway]
"BTAGExtModule"=string:"BTAGExt_new.dll"
Then do a soft-reset and voila, the sound should work.!

This worked great with my X01HT and Motorola HS850.

I used this too with my Sony HBH-60 bluetooth mono headset and it worked perfectly for me too .
Much better for listening to podcasts while in bed!
(no more strangling myself with earphone wires! )

I am not sure, but I belive that if you uninstall it it should go "back" to normal.
otherwise, the "normal" would be
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2DP\Settings]
"UseJointStereo"=dword:00000001
"BitPool"=dword:0000003a (this setting just changes the soundquality)
"MaxSupportedBitPool"=dword:00000050 (this too delete if not wanted)
"MinSupportedBitPool"=dword:0000000e (and this, delete if not wanted)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Builtin\BtA2dpSnd]
"Priority256"=dword:0000003c (delete if not wanted, better quality)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\VoiceCommand]
"LaunchApEnable"=dWord:1 (KEEP!)
"VoiceCmdDuration"=dWord:15180 (change to 30seconds or whatever, dword:30)
And copies this file: BTAGExt_new.dll to \Windows (or whatever windows dir you have) (delete this file!)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway]
"BTAGExtModule"=string:"BTAGExt_new.dll" (change to BTAGExt.dll)

Thank you very much.
I use the audio to bluetooth feature with skype as it would otherwise send the sound to the loudspeaker, which, in a public place is not really convenient.
Now, with the code to "on" the sound and the code to"off" it, maybe there would be a simple way to create an app which would toggle from one state to the other? would you know how to do that ? alternatively, is there some kind of scripting tool for the ppc that I could use ?
thanks in advance,
papex

thank you

Interestingly, this makes A2DP to transfer everytig in mono on my other MS BT stack-based devices, as has also been pointed out in my related article - are you sure this is the original value?

I believe that it is, at least on my device, but I may be wrong, it was long since I did my cab file. so not 100% sure no,
I was as curios as you, could it be that it uses mono to save bandwith? and thereby increase the range of the bluetooth?
but hey, I am no expert, I roughly took reghacks from around this forum and put together a cab file, I tried to make the cab to produce the best sound availible to a monoheadset, and nothing more, nothing less.
as it were a couple of weeks ago I since I did this i don't really remember every detail of it, but I believe most of this is stated in the hermes_wiki

I have not installed this yet and have a question. If I'm listening to my Slingbox through my Nokia 900 headset and get a phonecall, will it automatically switch to the phone call or do I have to stop Slingbox? Thanks

it should switch to the phonecall (mine does anyway) however!! Be aware that the sound will be outputted to speaker when the call ends!

Mic on bluetooth headset
I wanna know if I installed this file to use something like Skype, can I not only hear the sound from my Bluetooth headset but also speak through the headset too?

How do I get back to normal?
Hoping someone could help me out. I tried installing the file above. The installation process went well, but immediately following the soft reset, I noticed that my phone screens and response to menu picks was considerably slower. My phone locks up all of the time, and I am unable to toggle the bluetooth on and off. I tried to uninstall the application, but I get a message at the end saying that it was unable to completely remove the program. Wondering if anyone could help me to get to the registry and change the settings back to normal. HELP!!!!

thanks

Thank you for the cab/hacks. None of the other alternatives worked on my 8525. Now if someone could incorporate this into someway to switch between modes, that would be great. Right now, I install and uninstall the cab several times a day! I get nervous that the registry will get corrupt from all of the install/uninstalls.
Thank you very much!

Hi!
thanks for all the appreciation about my cab! I am happy to see that others are using it and are happy about it
I also noticed that some people has problems with it,
dhenry88: Try and install it again, otherwise, try and revert the setting yourself, I posted the "original" settings a some time ago in this thread, so go get a reg-editor and hack it
because that is all the cab-file does, changes registry (and copies a file to /windows/system32
however, this file is not important for the os itself (because I change the registry to find the changed file, not changing the file and overwriting the original.
but sorry to hear that it had such bad performance on your phone, it shouldn't do anything like that, but hey, every phone is different.

Indeed this is a great little program and I'm very thankful for it. Like lantern, I think it would be great if someone could figure out a way to switch modes easily as I'm unable to initiate a voice call through my Bluetooth headset with this program installed. I too have to install/uninstall the cab many times each day. I’m certainly not complaining, just expressing a wish.

BT Headset Audio Steaming Help required

I'm not sure if I'm being a bit dumb here but I need some help. I've managed to get my Jabra 250v working with voice comands on my SPV M700 and all is fine.
What I'd now like to do is to re-direct the audio from TomTom to the headset but NOT lose the option of having voice command and voice speed dialing for the phone side of things. I've just read the article in the link below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=281977
Could somone please explaing to me if I can do what I want to do as I can't really make head nor tail of it in the article and I'm not that techy really.
Is it possible?
Is the answer in the info in the link I read and I missed it?
Could some one please spell it out in a step by step process for me (all idiot proof if possible)?
Thanks in advance

JUST SORTED IT! Using the files from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=289720&highlight=bt+audio+stream
Only problem is, as the article suggest it disables the voice commands!! I can live with this as I only want to stean the TOMTOM voice when using the satnav while walking or on my bike. What I had in mind was a a couple of icons, one to make the registry changes for the BT Audio streaming and the other icon to toggle back (ie change the registry back to voice comand via the BT headset). Can anyone tell me if this is possible? can it be written on a PC and then copied to the Trinity so that it runs? Will reg files run the same on a PDA and they do on a PC?
Thanks in advance

Wireless Stereo Switch (or other solution)

Once my Bluetooth Headset is connected to my Prophet, all my notification sounds come through my Bluetooth Headset instead of the phone speaker.
The sound for normal incoming call works as it should though (through the speaker).
The only way i've found how to solve this problem, is to uncheck the "Wireless Stereo" option under:
Settings > Connections > Bluetooth > i.Tech Clip R35 > Partnership Settings
And then when I want to listen to music through the Windows Media Player, I have to do the opposit.
So, my two questions...
1. Is there a way to map notification sounds to always use the phone's speaker? (or)
2. Is there a small shortcut / Today-plugin that can switch "Wireless Stereo" on/off in one click?
Cheers!
Eric

Yes there is, i use a software called BTAudioToggle, you can place a shortcur to a launchbar in the today plugin, it works fine for me...

Thanks Hybrid, unfortunatly this was a bit wrong...
It seems that this program routed the sounds to the Bluetooth Headset if I wouldn't have "Wireless Stereo".
Hence; it had its functionality when I turned off "Wireless Stereo".
The solution was in the right direction though, but not really right...
BIG note though: It messed up the sound on my normal "Wireless Stereo" mode. So the sound now has a distortion as well.

Ehm but i remember there a software which did the same like btaudio with stereo headsets, but this one costs money. You just have to google, cause i dont remember the name

I found one called BlueMusic: http://www.teksoftbluemusic.com
Could that be the one you're refering to?
BlueMusic unfortunatly got about 99 functions that are more or less useless, packaged in a big memory overhead with nice graphics.
I just wanted the simple on/off switch...

ADD:
I'm running WM6, that's probably why most of BlueMusic's feature are superfluous.

My father got an Aus P535; when he uses the bluetooth headset, an icon is displayed on top, near "start": by clicking that icon, it is possible to redirect or not notification sounds to the headset... I didn't try that on the prophet, but I hope this can help you. bye

@overone: Hang in there...I'm trying to create a solution for one-click wireless stereo on/off..Will let you know as soon as I'm done...

Guys, been trying out a few things on mine AMEO qith BT8010's, it would appear that two reg entries are modified when turning on/off wireless audio.
I have attahced two reg export files bton.txt for audio on and btoff.txt for audio off.
if you look at lines 23 and 61 these are the values the executable will need to toggle. I dont have enough knowledge to code it up but if you know how to by all means give it a try.

I just ment that I don't know how to help you, since I don't write/read that lingo/api's...

I found an open .NET class in C# that could query the Bluetooth interface.
Unfortunatly, it only seem to have a "getService" and not a "setService".

I am very interested in this solution for the hermes. I linked this thread to the hermes forum.

A2DP Bluetooth Problem

Hello
I have my p3600 now for three weeks it's perfect but when i use my motorola 820 stereo headset (trough bluetooth ) A high tone is on the backgrond .
I have HTweakc and tried all four types and the high tone wont go away

I personally find that a2dp is best after I've deleted all a2dp settings in the registry, then soft reset.

Thank's bbobeckyj
But where can I vind this registry I don't know wat to look for.

The new dopod rom (the updated one) seems to have fixed my A2DP issues

I my experience trying different roms on both the trinity and the wizard, deleting the whole A2DP folder has produced the best results. I assume that the headset also is a big performance difference for everyone. I think that once you delete that folder, the settings automatically self regulate to the best/optimum.

Hi m8, are u sure you mean the WHOLE of the A2DP folder? Surely it's just the "Settings" sub-folder, as the parent seems to contain device specific data for the headset(s) you have paired?
Even so, I totally agree with the principal... delete all from the "Settings" sub-folder and the A2DP is DEFINITELY giving the optimal quality stereo! (Remember to let the two devices skip etc. a tiny bit when u first kick off a song/media file as they have to be allowed to auto-negotiate the optimal connectivity settings between PDA and Headset... but once that is done, it's pure joy all the way!!)

Yep. It is the whole A2DP folder. After I pair a headset afterwards, if I look into the registry again, the A2DP folder has been created, with only the settings folder in that. Which confirms that the ppc and headset can create their own optimal settings.
ie
HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2DP\Settings

before i had set the quality to highest and joint stereo. i prefer quality above stereo.
its not stereo, but most of the time i only use one earphone. so i dont mind if it's not stereo sound.

I'm curious, what was your prroblem before? did it skip/pause often? I record all my music with the lowest possible bitrate, so quality is not so much an issue to me. maybe the sound is poor because that is the best your hardware can properly support(?)
either way, can you not you not use the tweak prog to use mono?

Alright
I have deleted the settings folder the high tone looks to be les but I am stil working on it.
I can stil not understand it what went wrong ,I had the Imate jam with The A2dp patch from HTC it was perfect ,you would think that they make it better the next time but it's les .

it had a high pitch in it, high bitrate and stereo at the same time gives sound problems.
so, or a lower bitrate, or no stereo was for me the solution.
meanwhile, i switched to INDIGO WM6. haven't tried BT stereo headset.
but thats another subject. see trinity mobile 6 sub-forum...

heyz i cant find this registry! i'm a noob here. how exactly do i find this registry to delete? lets say from my pda, i go file explorer, then wat?
i'm having the sound loss problem by the way

you need a registry editor on your pda, use google to find one, i used the shareware version of SKtools, if you use the find option it works fine.(shareware was only up to show six lines in registry)
hope it helps.

alright, now its worse. once the sound stops, it DOESNT COME BACK ON!!!!!
