Bluetooth Audio Gateway, next attempt

The btagsvc.dll on the Universal does exist, but it is empty (same with the HID dll). So that may be the reason why Audio Gateway is not working (getting the system sound forwarded to the BT headset).
Now, a friend showed me an interesting trick. Run a music file or any other program that outputs sound (like a navigation instruction from TomTom) and then press the Speed Voice Dial button.
Interesting, isn't it? So maybe all we need to do is prevent SpeedVoiceDial from exiting again?

Hey!!!!
A2DP is already there...just do a search :lol:

If you're talking about the M$ stack on the Universal, then you'll have to elucidate a bit more than that - unless you mean:
"The A2DP profile is introduced in AKU 2.0 of Windows Mobile".
But then isn't that scheduled for first quarter 2006. Even then, surely it's down to HTC to make it available for the badging suppliers, o2, T-mobile, etc., to decide IF and WHEN to issue the update.

I tried the LaunchAPEnable = 0 registry hack but it won't stick. My Jabra 110 headset would only receive the audio for a few seconds and then it would all fall back into the Xda Exec. I'll try another headset just to be sure but I'd have to agree - this seems far from being solved.
EDIT: indeed it works with another headset (Solteras Halo). Is the Jabra too agressive in it's power saving quest?

nice to see its doing you head in master :lol: :lol: the jabra bt250 is the same as is my logtech and motorola bluespoon 3-4 secs via voice dial and nothing

I've been using a bluetooth headset (Jabra BT-800) to listen to audio books just fine on the JarJar Universal. There are two ways (so far) to get it to work. One, if you install Microsoft Voice Command and use the registry hack found in this forum to make it the default via the Voice Dial button, run it, then let it cancel on its own, the BT audio connection stays intact for running regular audio through it.
The second (and free) way is to use a utility found in the I730 forum in pdaphonehome.com called BTAudioToggle. Written for the I730, it works on the Universal too. I imagine it will work on all the flavors of the Universal. Connecting your BT headset, followed by running this BT app will also activate the BT audio connection. Its pretty rock solid though its mono, not A2DP

Nice application but it only works for Universal for a few seconds. Then it returns to the device with the voice dial application activated.....
So, it seems that I have to disable the voice dial application. Anyone knows how????
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,

I tried the BTAudioToggle on the Xda Exec, and it doesn't seem to do anything .
@chris_khho: try a different headset. As I wrote the Solteras Halo was working fine with the registry hack but the Jabra 110 would only work for a few seconds. I'll need to check what profiles each of them suports.

RE
Hi!
BTAudioTogggle works on my QTEK 9000 for a few seconds when Voice Speed Dial is activated. Once Voice Speed Dial ends the music transfer stops
:roll:

Mine works fine and I've played my audio books for more than an hour and it never dropped. I'm not sure why it doesn't work for you guys. Maybe the reason the BTAudio hack works is because the MS Voice Command setup is installed and the BTAudio hack just makes use of it.
You know, now that I think of it, I have an I730 too and before the BTAudio hack came out, I was already using MS Voice Command to activate audio over BT. I think there's a (good) bug in Voice Command where VC does not release the audio stream if you activate it, then don't give it any commands. The BTAudio hack just made it easier to activate.

OK I see.
I tried this:
hklm\software\oem\voicecommand and set the value of "launchapenable" from 1 to 0
And it works with my i-tech clip s and jabra 258 (not sure the model no.), and WMP but it doesnt revert to BT headset after finished call....
Yes it is "mono" but its good though....just wait for AD2P..... Many people are working on it I think.....
Great People Great Work!!!!
Cheers,

Any more info on what each update fixes.
Of particular interest is the bluetooth patch????

tomtom voices over bluetooth

Hi
Ive just bought a MINI -s and love it, but is it possible to hear the tomtom voices over my bluetooth car kit (Nokia ck7w) as it turns off the radio and would be very neat?
I read the FAq and it mentions media player over bluetooth. but dont like the idea of changing regisrty all the time. (could a little VB app be written?)
I understand people want stereo etc to headphones (hence new standard i read about) but i just want mono "turn left" basic sounds.
It seams feasable, because when using it the other day a call came and i heard tomtom while call was on.
Cheers all

Skype and Bluetooth headsets

I have a Vario II with Skype installed.
I realise that Skype recommends that you use the supplied headset when using the product for calling (rather than the speakerphone) but I was wondering if I can use my Bluetooth headset instead of the wired headset?
Bluetooth works fine with ordinary phone calls so I sort of expected it to work with Skype (doesn't the phone just see a Bluetooth headset as a standard headset once a partnership has been established?) - but it doesn't appear to work.
Am I missing something or does Skype for Pocket PC not support Bluetooth? And, if not, why not?

Skype probably doesn't use BT Headset profile. They probably should. But look at how long it took MS to make Voice Command work with BT and on our phones it didn't even work. I bet A2DP stereo headsets would work since it is an audio sending profile and not related to calls but you wouldn't be able to use the MIC except for the one on the phone. This might be enough functionality someone could try if they haven't already. However, there is the utility that someone wrote for the Samsung SCH-i730 that redirect all audio to the BT headset. There is no reason it shouldn't work on any PPC that uses the Microsoft BT stack. So try it out and see if it works.
http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/391448-post1.html
You need to create shortcuts to the toggle executable to make it easy to use.

There is a reg entry that will allow you to patch all sound to a BT headset.
HKLM\Software\OEM\VoiceCommand
LaunchAPEnable should be 0 instead of 1. Once done the headset hardware button will be remapped to connect to the device instead of launching voice command.
You will still be able to press the button to answer calls, it just won't initiate voice dial for new calls.
I would suggest one of those small freeware that allow to remap the hardware button (my button right softw key's been remapped to display a full program menu, that includes the voice command). I'm using a program called New Menu for Windows Mobile 5.
Hope this will help,
Sam

To toggle Audio to A2DP you might want to see:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1485391#post1485391
It's an easy way of switching audio to the headset and back to the device. This is for A2DP only.

hey guys,i was hoping for a different thing..is it possible to change the sound from the loudspeaker to the small speaker?? like using a real phone instead of using earphones..i dont have any earphones or bt headsets for the moment so i was hoping that someone can help me out here..its annoying if ur using skype while other people can hear the person you are talking to..
p/s:i've search everywhere including this forum,but still no solution..

No. Apparently it's a flaw in WM: it doesn't give apps access to the phone speaker.

that's a shame..hope microsoft will consider this for their future product

Bluetooth Mono Headset + Redirect sound to it

Hi,
I been trying the BtAudioNav to redirect sound to my bluetooth hands-free but it doesn't work on my Trinity.
Anyone has try it with success?

Most mono-headsets do not support the A2DP profile.... so it is to be expected that this doesn't work for music and stuff...
However, i had it working once on my old Fujitsu Loox 600...can't remember how i did that though, but it has a different BT stack anyway...
Or do you just mean the phone-calls being redirected does not work ? Please try to be a bit more specific

Phone-calls works but for example redirect sound from GPS soft to headset not!!. With BtAudioNav should works but with my Trinity not.

Not all phones are capable of directing all audio to the mono bluetooth headset using the handsfree/headset audio gateway profile. Many of them are designed to ONLY stream voice calls. I'm not sure if this is due to the hardware or software (possibly a combination?), but some phones are capable of streaming/redirecting all audio entirely (as well as mic input) to the mono headset. I guess the Trinity doesn't. I've only heard of a few phones that actually work with that BT audio utility you're using, and they seem to be mostly older models, but that's just a guess. Anyway, perhaps there's a way to redirect all audio through the stereo bluetooth profile instead?

1. Copy the folder BTAudio and its contents to \Program Files
2. Using a registry editor amend the following entries from:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\VoiceCommand
Path = \Program Files\BTAudio\BTAudioOn.Exe
VoiceCmdDuration = 86400 (DEC) = 24 hours
3. Softreset

What does the above tool do exactly?

I have an Axim X50v which works just great with Skype and my mono Flamingo BT headset. Now I have an HTC P3600 and Skype won't work through the headset.
Bloody technology seems to go backwards :-(

Perfect audio re-direction with Jasjar & Jabra BT250v
that was very neat & BRILLIANT !!!
got my Jabra BT250v without knowing these issues. on discovering that my jasjar was not capable of audio re-direction to Jabra.....I was shattered. ROM upgrades r scary to say the least.
after a day of frantic search & many failed softwares, this one did the trick. 'qyach'.....many thanks for this.
now my Jasjar & Jabra work perfectly with TCPMP & Skype. Voice command continues to work from the Jasjar mic.
I couldn't ask for more.
THANK U ONCE AGAIN !!!

Tried VJVolubilis, Bluemusic and BTAudio (with both of the 2 registry hacks referred to in this thread). None of them worked on my Trinity. Would very much appreciate someone shed more light on this issue.

Hi,
I got the Motorola T305 to connect to my TyTN and the audio gateway routed to the T305. Everything sounds great but I get this annoying beep once every 5 seconds. Does anybody know how to get rid of it?
Thanks,

JUST SORTED IT on my TRINITY all workin fine
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). As far as I can see (once BTaudioOn.exe is copied to my Trinity) the only difference between turning my Jabra BT250v into an audio streaming headset and a phone headset are the two registry changes; and then change them back to give me a Phone headset again.
Can anyone tell me if this is possible to use a .REG file?
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

New app?
Can anyone make an app in which you can configure which feature you want?
1) Change to Voice Dail
2) Change to Voice Command
3) Change to a redirection program like BTAudio.
and got to set the delaytime too

Destination Gotland Bluetooth Mono Sound.cab
I installed this, no registry changes, etc. and it works great. you toggle between unit speaker and the headset by hitting the button on the BT headset. It is great for Skype.
The Cab is in the Zip. I think I picked it up off the tutorial here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=281977

Battery Problem
OK, the solution I posted does work well. However it just killed my battery life. I think that whenever the BT is paired, even in the regular mode (not streaming to the mono BT) it uses the full amount of battery as if it was streaming to it. I think the battery life was even reduced without a paired headset as long as BT was not disabled.
I guess I am still looking for a better solution too.

Redirecting TRINITY sound to handsfree

After reading very long threads about this issue, many changes in the registry and some full pda restores, I haven´t found the way to redirect all the sounds to the handsfree in my TRINITY.
Has anyone managed to make BTAudio or any other program work with a Trinity?

I think that as long as the handsfree headset you use supports the A2DP profile then all audio is redirected to it without the need for any registry hack. At least that's my experience with my SonyEricsson stereo BT headset.

2 Types of Redirect
One is with A2DP where the bt device is compliance to it. I do not have one but I believe it will work fine.
Another way which I am using is via the Handsfree Voice Command channel. When a voice command software(Such as Cyberon Voice Speed Dial) is installed and when the recognition is triggered(usually by a button on headset), all audio is redirected to the the headset.
So the trick is to keep this redirection longer.
This is can achieved by changing two registry settings.
- Change the duration to something longer, like FFFF.
- Invalidate the voice command software execution.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\VoiceCommand]
"VoiceCmdDuration"=dword:FFFF
"Path"="\WINDOWS\invalid_sddialer.exe"
With that, I have lost Voice command via my headset but I hardly do VC at all, and if needed, I had associated one of the button on my dopod to launch VC but I need to speak into the phone instead.
Not sure if this is the best way but it's the only way I know of untill I figure out other.
FYI, I'm currently using Dopod D810 with lvsw ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299771) and a Motorolla H700.

Hello,
I agree with this.
I had not been able to get the Trinity to redirect audio to a sony HBH-IV835 heandfree device.
Since I've change for a Sony DR-BT20NX headset with AD2P profile it's working like a charm. No more registry hack or software needed.
Then registry hack only concern improvement of audio quality (bitpool and so on).
Sadly i'm not able to use real stereo (replace the use of joint stereo) because it's generationg a slight annoying hiss sound.

Is this still the status, also with WM6?
I can't believe it's not possible to redirect some kind of way like I've been reading in the Tornado treads.

Yeah, I'm also can't redirect all sound to my headset (Plantronics Pulsar P590) by one click or by launch some program. Every time I need launch BT Settings, open Devices tab, tap'n hold on "590Plantronics", and select "Set as hands-free" or "Set as Wireless audio".
Can't find other ways to do it - no registry hacks, no other...

Does this help maybe?

I did not test it yet...

No, it doesn;t work too... All discussed programs (BTARouter, BTAudioNav, BTAudioToggle) are just redirect phone calls to the my headset. No audio output at all (headset icon doesn't appear).

I just tried it. Didn't work. I could hear it activating the speaker on the headset as I launched the app (soft hiss) but it didn't re-direct any audio. Voice calls only through the headset (which is the same as without the app installed). I guess it really only works for smartphones.
The registry hack worked for me but I need voice command so it's not really a permanent fix for me.
I'd be quite happy to buy a new headset too but I don't want something bulky or with wires everywhere like all the stereo ones on the market. The single ear clip on ones are just so quick and easy to use...

Hi
I have the p3600 and a sony mex-bt 2500 and i can redirect all audio to the carcit but i have to connect with the audio (A2DP)conection and not the headset conection so you'r divice has to have the A2DP profile to work.

Get headset that supports A2DP profile and it works fine. I have Plantronics Voyager 855 stereo, and it works flawlessly in mono or stereo mode with modifying any registry hacks. Music sounds awesome too with this headset, just like my bose earbud phones.
