i am a skype heavy user. To get rid of the original earphone, can we use a separate standalone speaker? will bluetooth speaker work?
I use skype with a bluetooth headset.
I have to enable "stereo headset" in the bluetooth settings though. The bug with this is, it routes all sounds to the headset. So when I'm done using skype I have to go back and uncheck the "stereo headset" option again if I want alarms and such to route to the speakers on the device.
Inconvenient, yes. Still workable? For sure.
Not sure about the bluetooth speaker only thing though. It might be up to the bluetooth device and it's options. I guess the only way to know for sure is to research different bluetooth speakers and ask the manufacturer how it would work with PDA phones (in this case the Athena).

This allows you to switch your audio gateway to BT on/off/toggle.

I have successfully made my ANYCOM stereo Bluetooth headphones ( http://tuxtops.com/node/464 ) to work wtih my HTC Wizard using the "wireless stereo" instructions that were posted the other day on this forum.
When you set it as "wireless stereo", is it supposed to also switch to handsfree functionality automatically? You see, over here this doesn't happen. The music stops when I get an incoming call, but I don't get the person's voice through my headset. The headset does not switch to handsfree mode.
Is this normal? Or something else is wrong?
I connected to my headset by clicking "set as a wireless stereo". If I also click "set as a handsfree", I don't get any music you see. So, why my headphones don't automatically change mode to handsfree on an incomming call? Anyone else with this problem?
i have the same problem but it doesn't bother me.
but if there is a fix then this would be cool and easier.
A2DP support for HTC Wizard can be obtained by using this hack/tweak: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=275506#275506
didn't try it myself, but has been reported to work on HTC Wizard and other Windows Mobile 5 devices.
CIAO!

Any solution so far?? I will receive my Anycom BSH-100 within the next days...
I don't think there is a solution apart from praying for a new ROM.
it might be a problem with the headset and rom
did you try repairing it?
because i know everything works fine for me using itech stereo
when a call comes in, it switches no problem
Hope someone can help me with my problem (Nothing found on XDA search).
I have a BT620s headset and it works great, both for stereo music and as a handsfree set.
The problem is, if I disconnect the bluetooth or answer a call I always loose the Wireless stereo. Under the BT devices is it still shows as selected but I always have to do a refresh reselect "wireless stereo" and save it again to get it working each time.
Is there something I can do to make it stick ie: registry setting?
Thanks
confirmed
Hi to All,
i have exactly the same problem. Actually, in my case even an alarm or a reminder switches the A2DP to mono and i am not able to go back to stereo without a soft reset....
Anyone have an idea?
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 just bought a headset for my Atom Exec and I can't work it all out, I want to listen to music from the memory card so I have set the bluetooth to Hands Free, Wireless Stereo and headset, all three are ticked. All is working fine but the only problem I have is when the phone rings you can only here it through the stereo headphones which makes sence but I can see this causing problems if I put the headphones down, I will miss calls as I want hear the phone ringing. Is there a way to make the phone ring also threw the speaker on the phone as well while using the headphones?
Unfortunately I don't think so. If you turn the Stereo Headset profile on all sound is routed to the headset. If someone knows how it would be great.
What you can do instead is set the phone to vibra + ring mode so that if you don't have the headset on, at least the phone will still shake.
hi Seal,
which bluetooth headset did you get? i'm asking because i just got the atom (not exec) and can't get the BT to work as a wireless headset - it only works when making calls.
also, you mentioned 'wireless stereo' checkbox, i don't see this option in the atom but it could be an exec feature.
thanks.
Hi, I bought the Plantronics, I use them every day and love them, it is such a great thing to not have wires hanging around.

"I has an Atom", and I also have a mono, ordinary Bluetooth headset (Planex BT-03HS).
Seal: try turning off the Wireless Stereo profile, then getting this program called BlueMusic by Teksoft - it has an option you can uncheck that will allow the ringtone to come through its original source instead, while still routing music through your BT.
Yes, the program can do this even in unlimited trial mode - however, it only puts your music back on the BT band after a call in full-mode. I have no idea if this will work on stereo headphones like yours, but it's worth a shot.
Slamming_Sammy: With BlueMusic I can pipe stuff from TCPMP to bluetooth headset - which supports only handsfree - just fine, whilst still not missing a call. BlueMusic emulates the A2DP protocol so your phone doesn't have to. There's actually a free binary out there called BTAudio (which Bluemusic is based on), but its less stable than Bluemusic when it comes to disconnects and receiving calls.
Oh, and by the way, the Atom does support Wireless Stereo (A2DP). However, you can ONLY see it if your bluetooth headset has the profile as well (mine doesn't by the way). AFAIK only stereo headsets have this; even the newest BT2.0 mono headsets don't.
thanks a lot Ultimate. I was just about to try btaudio which by the way, works great, so I won't try bluemusic yet. so you're saying if my BT headphone is A2DP capable then I wouldn't need to run btaudio to route audio to my headset?
thanks.
Yes, that's what I'm saying.
Bluetooth stereo headsets are expensive, tho, AND the Atom is known to have dodgy A2DP support (except with BT2.0 devices), so you might want to hold out on the purchase.
I have a Sprint 6900 Touch running the stock version of WM6.1. If I enable the Bluetooth audio gateway using acbToggleBT, to listen to music, the volume is low. Its also low when I enable Voice Command through the Bluetooth headset. If my wired stereo headset is plugged into the bottom of the phone and I enable the Bluetooth audio gateway using acbToggleBT then it sounds great. I have tried several things to figure out what is going on and have come to one possible solution.
I need an application that would force my phone into the headset profile. If I enable the Bluetooth gateway without a headset plugged in I believe the phone is in the hands-free profile and not the headset profile. I know I can do this manually by plug-in in the headset connector but can this be done via a program? I would like to have a program launch the headset profile then launch the Bluetooth audio gateway.
