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.

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=

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

Stereo Bluetooth Headset Issue with Qtek 9000(HTC Universal)

Hello everybody,
I just would like to hear some (technical) comments regarding making stereo bluetooth headset usage more convenient with a device like the HTC Universal.
My current situation is as follows:
The stereo bluetooth headset that I am using is http://www.itechdynamic.com/en/products_spec.asp?cid=2&pid=02040
The inconvenient problem I am encountering is the cumbersome method of going into "wireless-stereo/hands-free/headset" mode immediately after switching ON my headset.
The pairing between the device and the headset was not an issue, however one would think that once paired - there would be no need to go into the "Partnership Settings" again, and again, and again, etc...
So assuming that the Universal device has Bluetooth ALWAYS active, I switch ON my headset and the only think that works is the Multi-Function-Button on the headset that triggers the voice dialer / voice commander. Once the phone dialer is running I conveniently go into hands-free mode. This is fine and all, but quite useless when I am not using the phone dialer.
I mean, after switching ON the headset, and then I start to play an audio file - the headset should be the point of audio output, not Universal's speakers. This does not happen after switching ON the headset. To make this happen, I must do the follwing:
1. Switch ON the headset
2. On the Universal Device, go to Comm Manager and select the Settings tab
3. Choose Bluetooth Settings...
4. Select the Devices tab
5. Select the defined Partnership between the headset and the Universal device, in my case this selection is "i.Tech Clip S"
6. Under the "Select services to use from this device" we have:
a.) Hands Free
b.) Wireless Stereo
c.) Headset
All three are selected but in reality are not working (not yet anyway..)
7. Clicking the REFRESH button causes the services selected in point 6 above to change. Clicking the REFRESH button causes the Hands Free and Wireless Stereo services to be de-selected while the Headset service to remain selected.
8. Select the Hands Free and Wireless Stereo services and click on the Save button.
9. Now all is well!
So, the problem obviously is in point 6 where what the Universal device says is not actually what is reflected in reality.
But in order to work around the problem, I must do points 7 and 8. Since I wish to make an app that does the things mentioned in points 7 and 8 - I need to know what the REFRESH button actually does.
All I know so far is that the REFRESH button does not just elicit values from the registry. It does something that results in the registry values being written. This is where I would really appreciate your comments.

qtek 9000 MS voice commander 1.6 handsfree voiceenable !
It doesn't work , but now http://www.jetwaremobile.com/index.htm I have this ?!!!
But the voice down in my pocket PC. I want that Handsfree is only "ON", not "OF" after click?...

Auto Connect Stereo Headset

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:
http://www.trianglepowers.com/ppc6700/
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.

HD2 wireless bluetooth stereo phones

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.
D.W

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

Bluetooth headset usage? + Bottom hard keys behavior during calls?

Hi all,
Does anybody has tested the HD mini with a Bluetooth headset? More precisely, does the screen keep locked during and after a call answered through a Bluetooth device?
(This is not the case with my current HD2 and locking the hard keys prevents to answer calls from a bluetooth headset... this is not good at all. As the HD mini has different keys for End Call and for Power On/Off, its behavior may be different.)
Another one : aren't the bottom hard keys (which seems to be capacitive, as the screen digitizer, but are they?) too sensitive? Do they tend to end a call when speaking, the phone being held against the cheek?
Have a nice day!

I dunno about the bluetooth stuff as I dont have a headset.
With regards to the buttons, the device has a proximity sensor which turns off the screen and buttons when it's close to your face.

Thank you very much, that's a good point.

I have had my mini for 4 days now, first ever HTC and got to say very impressed. I was on a long run in the car yesterday and used the Bluetooth a few times, I have a Bluetooth headset in the car for streaming music and obviously hands free phone calls.
Il start with the music side; using the standard HTC music player I found that when being played the music would cut out (maybe once or twice) after first setting it up but then be seamless from that point. I have noticed though that when going back to use the Mini (car stationary of course) the music would begin to cut out again. I don’t know if this is the music player or the connection but this has just left me to resort to setting up a playlist then using the car headset to change tracks.
As for the phone, if you have it plugged into the cigarette lighter (very useful for charging without the phone being away from your side) it wont go into standby mode, although the first call i received I used the Mini’s answer button to answer which appeared to cut off the Bluetooth and answer the call as normal, not the best situation to be in when you are driving. The 2nd phone call i got i used the car headset answer button which kept the Bluetooth running.
The only other big issue is that every time I get into the car I have to manually setup the connection from my phone to the car headset, I don’t know if this is meant to be like this or I have missed a setting any advice in this area would be useful
Cheers

Thank you, Q22ube, for you input.
My usage of a bluetooth headset is quite different since, most of the time, I use the phone with a motorcycle helmet headset (Cardo Scala Rider G4) so the phone is in a pocket or in a bag, running on its own battery, and I have no physical access to the device while riding . For now, I am using a HTC HD2 (which is a very nice device but a little too big to use it one hand) and music streaming through Bluetooth A2DP is quite good. I also had to setup a playlist since, by default, the HTC Sence music player will use nearly all music tracks available on the device, including some system sound .

I don't known how works your headset (or car embedded Bluetooth system) but, most of the times you have to pair the audio device with the phone:
set the audio device in pairing mode (according to its user's manual);
go to the Bluetooth control panel of the phone;
from here, search for a new headset (e.g. click "add new headset");
when found, select the audio device and then follow the pairing procedure displayed on the phone screen;
usually, you have to enter a pairing code which should be found in the headset (or car) users's manual (most of the times it is 0000) or only click "OK".
Usually, this pairing procedure must be done only once. After that, provided Bluetooth is already turned on on the phone, you only have to switch on your headset (your car embedded audio system) and it will automatically connect to the phone. If the audio system is already on when you enter your car with your phone, you may have to switch it off and on again to start the bluetooth connection.
It is possible that your audio car system is always searching for known phones and then, the previous paragraph may not apply but I have no experience with such systems (only with some plain headsets).
One last point: please, do not leave Bluetooth in discoverable mode on your phone all the time and double check your Bluetooth security settings... Nobody should discover your phone if you don't want that and no unknown (malicious) device should be able to connect to it.
Cheers

Hi Q22ube and darthrider,
I've had my mini for one day only and found that the bluetooth device partnering is not "for life"
In my nokia formerly, I only needed to pair my gps with the phone once and that would be it! They never needed to be paired each and every time I wanted to use the two together like the mini does now.
I don't think that is normal ... Can you share with me your experiences? I use the GPS a great deal and is the main reason why I bought this phone (because it's the last wm phone and garmin's software only runs on wm and symbian) so it's irritating to have to go through so many steps every time I come back to the car.

Found the solution
Hello again,
After another good many hours of fiddling with the phone I discovered that the Bluetooth button that you find in the "Wireless Controls" tab under "Settings" brings you to "Comm Manager" which is actually a BTWizard.exe
What it should have been is "BTManager.exe" which you can find in Windows directory. This is the exe. file that allows you to launch and find paired devices automatically without needing to constantly repair.
I created a .lnk file in the Windows/Programs/ directory to BTManager.exe, put it into one of my quicklaunch panels and now I can switch on my BT, open the port and go straight into my Garmin programme without needing to repair my BT receiver.
Paired for life!

yes working fine
Dear Friend

I did not notice the paring problem you described since I opened the Bluetooth Manager from "Sense Settings Tab > Menu > More > Bluetooth". This opens the true Bluetooth Manager and not the Bluetooth Wizard. Happily, you have found another solution.
I think that the Comm Manager should launch the Bluetooth Manager instead of the Bluetooth Wizard.
Regards
