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!

i hate the process to connect with my bluetooth headset
Comm Manager -> Settings ->
Bluetoth Settings -> Devices ->
klick -> set as wireless stereo
gives any app to do this with one klick or one button ???
What headset are you using? I have Logitech wireless stereo headset. I connect it like this:
1. Turn headset on.
2. Press button on the headset once.
3. Headset says "beep" and bluetooth audio is connected
What the button?
I have four on my Sonorix :roll:
Only three on Logitech and two of them are volume controls so it's easy
This also doesn't seem to work on my i-Phono Minis, does anyone have a small app that switches this or knows of the API call needed to get the wireless headset to kick on?
Thanks,
Jon.
It's an A2DP issue. Some headphones connect, others do not.
The HP FA303/Logitech headset is one that works. The Moto HT820 is another but has an annoying high frequency distortion. I believe the Jabra BT620 also works correctly but I haven't personally verified this.
My I-Tech S35 BT Headphone adapter
I have to go thru the same process to get a2dp wireless stereo working.
Comm Manager -> Settings ->
Bluetoth Settings -> Devices ->
klick -> set as wireless stereo
I have tried shortcuts using vijays excellent app, but end up getting the wireless headset audio instead of full blown stereo.. there must be a better solution to this..

I´m using the I-Tech Blueband
and i think i had see a BT-stark to connect with one button but i don´t find it..
This issue is very likely one of the reasons why A2DP was never officially released.
i think Buzz have write a little tool to do this but it´s hard to find it on the big forum...

That doesn't make much sense - the reason why they didn't release technology was because it took too many steps to turn on? You wouldn't remove a room from a house just because the contractor put the switch in an inconvient location...
no... the reason it wasn't ever officially released was because of inconsistent device support. Some headphones connect just fine (HP, Logitech, moto) and others don't. Some headsets sound just fine (HP, Logitech) and other's don't (Moto HT820).
Hey guys. I had a moto ht820 (or whatever) and they connected automatically when they were turned on, but crashed frequently when getting calls. Now I have BT620s (jabra) and they work nice However I do have to go and connect them (sux).
So I am posting in hopes that VJ will see this and write a quick connect for the STEREO BT headset like he wrote the other one for Hands Free.

I'm experience the same problem i have a2dp on my device (mda vario) but everytime i'll have to go to bluetooth, device's, select the headset and set as wireless stereo. isn't there a way to do this automatic?
Becouse it's really bugging me. i have the jabra 620
I have been using for awhile the Moto HS850 and have been able to initiate calls (via voice command), answer calls, etc.
Not too long ago, I went and purchased a H700 (for the noise reduction). For the life of me, I couldn't get the initiate call via VC to work, and it works perfectly with the HS850!
Does anyone have any idea why I would not be able to get the H to work?
Hey guys,
is now a solution out there to connect with one button
the jabra bt620 ??

My Moto works very well and connect automatic...

Hi,
Just a quick question. My Moto HT 820 also works both playing music and working as head set. Unfortunately it's mono .
For the tests I've set the wizard to connect to Moto only as wireless stereo but
it keeps playing mono
Is that my issue or general ?
I run MX6r3
cheers
I had a |Plantronics bluetooth headset which connected as soon as it was turned on. I now have an iTech S35 Bluetooth stereo headset. This won't automatically connect. I have to go through all the menus to select as wireless stereo and handsfree - a total of 9 taps!
Not sure if this is the fault of my device or the headset.
Anyone know how to get them to connect automatically?
happens to me too although i have different make of headsets... dunno the cause either what i do is delete the partnerships and reestablish them. I do this everytime I get the iffy behavior. so it's no big deal.
I have the same problem with my jabra BT620s headset. It connects it self as a Bluetooth handsfree and can use voice dialing, but It doesn't connect automatically as a wireless headset. I have to go to Wireless Manager and set it there...
Any way to make it automatically... or at least with a use of a simple click?
hmmm... known issue on the BT620s, however the fact that the iTech clip is also affected is new to me. Quite frankly, I'd never asked.
There are several headsets that don't have the issue, but its about 50/50.
I've been having a similar problem with Lubix NC1s (btw, had the problem on my MDA too).
Until I know a permanent fix, I've used iLauncher to place a Bluetooth icon on the System Tray, so at least I can get to the device profile in 2 clicks.

How did you get to the shortcut - I couldnt find which programme / file to select?

This is using iLauncher from SBSH:
Under Settings>Shortcuts you can select "* Shell Tray Tab *" as your tab, then "Add" Bluetooth from "Cpl Applets".
One click opens Bluetooth Settings, then click on Devices.
Ah Ha! Done it, Thank you.
I often wondered how you got shortcuts on the bottom tray!
thanks
With the iTech you have to press the MFB buttton (the flashy one) once it is turned on to connect it. Bloody stupid I know. I don't turn it on to watch the light flash, I turn it on to connect it to my device.
Hi-I tried this with a trinity and itech and a single press of the button just activates voice dial then disconnects. Any ideas?
Sorry just re-read, I have an R35, thought you did too. You could try the Bluetooth audio routing program from below, there's a program & a separate today screen plugin version:

Not sure if it'll work or what the quality may be like but its worth a stab.
instructions with Bluetooth X5
For those that have a Tytn and Blueant X5 (with the latest firmware)
- turn on bluetooth on tytn and the X5
- quick-press volume up and down buttons -> Done (you might have to have your bluetooth in discoverable mode -> not sure)
BTW - Blueant X5 are fantastic - I have had it for over a year; and now about 5 of my work colleagues bought them too.

I have an iTech S38 and it works the same with the MFB button. If it does not work for you (ie when you press it you just get voice command) then I think it's a rom issue, not the headset itself. Ie, the bluetooth stack is not recognising the request to connect from the headset.
Try A2DPToggle

Can also be made to work with one button press using mortscript.
Surur
i just got a pair of philips SHB6100 bluetooth stereo headphones/handsfree, and i'm seeing a strange issue.
The first time i pair the headphones with my Mogul they work great throught the standard WMP. If i walk away from the headphones (with my phone) so that they get seperated, i cannot get them to work again once they come back in range without removing the bluetooth device, and re-pairing the two devices. When the two devices come back in range, i can initiate voice activation from the headphones, but no audio from WMP is sent, reopening WMP and soft resets don't fix the issue.
Has anyone seen similar problems?
I'm using all stock drivers / rom.
i have the same problem .
The way i found around this is to go to Bluetooth manager .Press on the name of your head phone on the list .And sellect set as wireless stereo.
and they pair up again.
Thanks ace29ace

Yep, the same thing here with my Sony HWSBTA2W Bluetooth Transciever. Oddly though, my Moto S9 headphones work without having to do this, all I have to do is do something on the headphones like change volume and they instantly pair up again.
I paired the head set both as a wireless stereo and as hand free and it works good except 1 thing:
while I press the button on the headset to make a voice call with voice tag (which works perfectly for me with others simple headsets) ,I can't hear the beep telling me to say the tag and also i can't hear the confirmation of the tag I said.
The system IS working and the phone dials what I said,but i can't confirm while the pda is not in front of me
If I disable the "wireless stereo", I can hear the beep and the confirmation.
Does anyone know someting ?
Besides this the sound of the headset is amazing
Voicecall
Yes, I experienced the same thing with my WE-COM (cheap ) stereo bluetooth headset. If i want to make the headset activate the voicecall i have to first turn off the wireless stereo in the bluetooth connection screen. So, i leave the wireless stereo turned off most of the time. Only when i want to sit back and enjoy wireless stereo music or watch a movie using bluetooth, i turn on the wireless stereo.
I wish it can be automatic but i can't find any other ways other than manually turning the wireless stereo off and on acording to my needs.
Since my bluetooth is inexpensive, I am happy that both the wireless function and the phone function works. The shop person who sold me the bluetooth didn't know how to get the phone function of the headset to work with my u1000 at first. I had to fiddle with the pairing and setting up for quite a while at his shop. Suddenly it hit me that the pda was confused about the headset having 2 different functions and it doesn't know how to automatically switch between the 2 functions by itself. So i just have to use the bluetooth setup screen to command the pda to respond to just one of the function at a time. And it worked! So i bought the headset. And the shop was happy to make his sale.
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
