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.

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!
Hello all
I have bought a sony ericsson hbh ds970 headset and succefully paired it with my Wizard. Everything just peachy so far, sound is great and it plays the sound from MortPlayer and TCMP without problems. But. (there is always a but...)
When I recivie a call when listning to music the phone automatically paused the music and I can take the call with the sound in my headset. Great. But when i´m finished with the call and want to continue listning to music I get silence.
The headset is still paired, but I dont hear anything. I´ve tried to close and restart mortplayer, but that doesnt help. Also tried the BTaudioToggle app which toggles BT on and off but still nothing. The only solution is to softreset. And thats not an option i the long run...
Another thing I dont see any songs or information on the bluethooth headset display, but maybee thats asking to much. Or? Same with callers, I see the number but not the name of the caller.
Thanks and keep them answers flowing

Which BT hack are you using?
I think it's either the BT hack or the headset. With the BT hack linked from my related article ( http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=1307&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 ) the WMP (haven't tested with other players in this respect) music playing resumes at once and automatically with my 590A on my Wizard.
Thanks for your reply.
Downloaded the a2dp_hack.cab file and the WizardA2dphackimport.reg. Dont know how to run the .reg file in the Wizard so I enterd the values manually. I was running some old a2dp file I found somewhere.
Did a test with mortplayer, which I use, fired up played some music thru the BT headset, pressed call button and started a call. The music stoped and I heard the phone. Hung up and returned to MortPlayer, but there was no music. Could see that the song continued to play but there was no sound. I tried to pause and play agian, but that didnt work. Exited Mortplayer and started it again. That worked, sound in BT stereo headset again.

BTW can I get the phone to ring althou I have the headset connected? now it only rings in the headset.
thanks

Hi folks
I've got my self a pair of HP Bluetooth headphones (very nice btw!) but every time I want to use them, I have to turn on bluetooth, go into bluetooth devices, press and hold the bluetooth headphones and select "set as wireless stereo".
My question is, is there anyway of getting my phone to automatically pair with my bluetooth headphones? Rather than having to go into the bluetooth settings everytime?
Or even put a shortcut on the today page would be easier enough?
Thanks
I was having the same question, but people sais that it is not a good idea to keep your device recoverable from other devices all the time from security point of view. So, i refused from this idea

I found out that if you create a shortcut (.lnk) with notepad and put this in it:
23#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,23,1
You can get right to the bluetooth devices screen. I haven't seen how to pair something automatically though. hopefully one of the bluetooth guru's here can figure that out.
Thanks Jizzay1
Start -> link -> Tap+hold -> connected
Alot better than comms manager -> bluetooth settings -> devices -> tap+hold -> connected
Maybe someone will find a way to press a link and connect straight away, but this way I can live with in the mean time
Obviously different to bluetooth headsets. I use a Nokia HDW-3 and it connects everytime, my bluetooth is not set to discoverable either
I'm not sure why you guys have to re-pair your headsets. I never have. If bluetooth and the headset are on then I can make calls through it.

I'm having this problem with my STEREO BT headset, and it sounds like mixmasterollie is too, but it seems like the people that don't have this problem are using normal mono headsets. Please correct me if i'm wrong.
I'll have a mono headset to test tomorrow to see if my 8125 will pair with it automatically.
As iunderstood for the phone calls my STEREO headset is pairing automatically, but not for music

I just tried my friend's over the ear plantronics 510 mono headset and it pairs automatically once i turned on bluetooth on my phone and on the headset. My 8125 doesn't say anything on the screen once it's been paired, but it works.
Sounds like i just have to live with manually pairing my IOGEAR stereo headset.
Try playing with the "action" button on the headset. On mine, the volume up button has a dot on it. I turn on the BT, turn on the headset, wait a couple seconds and hit the volume up button twice. It automatically goes into wireless stereo when I do that. Boy, was I happy when I discovered that!
No such luck I'm afraid, my HP BT Headphones don't auto-pair, no matter what buttons I press on the headset
I think wireless stereo and hands free act differently, whereas the hands free ones connect automatically but the headphones only option doesn't.
Shame really!
Hi all,
Im trying to listen to the audio playback using my BT headset,but the music never comes to the BT headset, it starts playing at the speakers although x1 shows A2DP profile.
Bluetooth A2DP headset with X1
I am having a similar problem.
I have an I.Tech Clip Radio that is capable of A2DP. When I was adding the new device, leaving the pin blank, headset was added successfully with both headset and wireless stereo profiles. Then in the Bluetooth setting page, when I try to "Set as wiresless stereo", a message will show trying to add headset into device list, press yes it will request for passcode, and does not accept the correct default passcode "0000" while the "Next" is grey out if I leave the passcode blank. And of course the Windows Media Player is then playing thru the speaker not headset.
Anyone has any idea? Is it an incompatible issue or I was doing it wrong?

I've had the same problem with my Jabra SP700, I'll toy with it tomorrow and see if I can find something.
I have a similar problem, bought a bluetooth headset at DX. It is connecting to the phone,
but as soon as I start a call it disconnectes by its own.
I have no idea whats wrong, somebody who can help me?
I think/hope I found the solution:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471181
I have been reading many threads on getting the "stereo audio" connection to auto connect fot BT Stereo headsets. It seems that when you pair it the first time, both "Hands Free" and "Stereo Audio" are working. When you disconect your headset and reconnect it again, only "Hands Free" connects.
I have tried A2DP toggle and A2DPSwitch, but they dont seem to work on the HD2. A2DP toggle did work when I had my old Samsung Omnia i900, so I can assume that its something to do with the HTC Phone Bluetooth stack
Each time I want to use the BT Stereo headset, I need to go to settings/menu/all settings/Bluetooth/590Plantronics and expand + and select "Stereo Audio". They then connect.
What I would like to do is until there is a fix for this, to reduce the number of taps, is create a shortcut to the Bluetooth Control Panel that shows the 590Plantronics device.
Is this possible?
Thanks Chris
Just make a shortcut to Windows\BTManager.exe and add it as a quicklink.
hi,
i have a jabra 3030 and a motorola s705 and both are reconnecting (handsfree and stereo audio) properly, when i turn them of and on again. when i go out of range (eg. forgot the mobile in teh car), when i come back the handsfree connects direct, and the setereo audio after i press the play button once. maybe this works for you also.
regards mad
I installed AutoA2DP on my phone and ever since, whenever I turn on my headset, it always connects as both stereo bluetooth and headset. I haven't tried it on an HD2 but you should definitely try it out.
I found the .cab of AutoA2DP awhile ago but forgot where I found the download link. In any case, I have attached it for your convenience.

Hi kilrah, thanks for your advice! That cuts out a few blinkin clix now and will do as a work around till this fiasco is solved, lol
I also noticed something very bizzare, and it is confirming my suspicions that HTC is in cahootz with MS or Widcomm or both, lol.
I tried using auto a2dp as suggested by GurWu, leaving the a2dp.ini file as wmplayer.exe. I then deleted the Plantronics from the system, re-paired them and what should spring to life after turning on the cans? You guessed it..WMP all paired up with HF and Stereo Audio. Turned off the headsets, turned them back on again and sure enough, WMP launches and plays thru the headsets.
All good, except I wont use WMP as it STILL doesnt have an EQ (Not getting in to why one needs an EQ or not here, lol)
No problems, I thought, Ill just set the a2dp.ini to pocketplayer.exe (my preferred player) turned on the headsets and.......nothing....no pocket player came to life.
Doing a manual launch of PP revealed that the headsets were only paired as HF, so back to my original problem.
Renamed a2dp.ini back to wmplayer.exe and it all works as it should....mmmmmm...does this wreak of a MS/HTC/Widcomm ploy? LoL
PS @ mad: When you said press the play button, were you referring to the play button on the software of your chosen media player or a hardware button as I dont have a play button on my HD2
PPS: Got a reply bacl from a2dp toggle author, says that it only supports M$ BT stack :-(
Cheers Chris
