For all of you guys that have the standard InnoDock with the 3.5mm audio-out jack on it (*NOT* the InnoDock Jr.):
I understand that as long as you have external speakers connected to it this can be used as a superior alternative to the Tilt / Tytn II / Kaiser built-in speakerphone because it has a microphone built into the cradle. I want to know for sure before I buy it.
True?
If so, how does it compare to the phone's standard speakerphone option? (Same, better, worse? How so?)
& lastly, if you have a bluetooth headset paired up to it, receive an incoming call, & then accept the incoming call from the bluetooth headset, will the call go straight to the bluetooth headset with no hiccups or complications?

I am not entirely sure if this is possible but I want to make my bluetooth headset my headphone as well (instead of plugging in the wired handsfree which I got with my unit). The purpose? mostly to use SKYPE for LD calls - skype does not seem to have an option to send to BT headset. (I also want to listen to music on my BT handsfree but that it another issue - less important)
Any ideas?
You cannot listen sound over BT. Only phone calls can be routed to headset.
this isnt actually true, i managed to get all sound to run over my BT headset on my alpine the other day and was able to listen to mp3s over my jabra 250v but as of yet i cant work out how i did it, thats how i stumbled accross this thread
Hello,
I have Mini and Destinator 3 and BT GPS, I want to purchase a handsfree speaker in the car.
1. Is it possible to use a bluetooth speaker in the car and use the same speaker for the voice command directions from Destinator via bluetooth to the same bluetooth speaker ?
or is it possible to:
2. To have a 12v cigarette plug in speaker including Microphone that has a 2.5mm or 3.5 mm connector so that any audio coming from the 02 mini either a call or destinator voice command comes through the speaker.
Can anyone help ?
Thanks

Hi voicedialin,
The first case won't work, because there is (by now) no bluetooth profile available for the magician, which would allow that (BT Audio). Could be done by changing/hacking the bluetooth stack.
The second case will work, as the magician will direct both the Destinators wav output as well as the callers voice whilest a telefone call to the output connector. The only thing, which might be a problem ist the audio connector of the magician, which is a 4 pin 2,5mm connector which is normally used for stereo audio out, mic in and signaling functions (pic up call/end call). Usually such connectors aren't sold seperatly.

Greetings,
I'm using a Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970 stereo Bluetooth headset with my TyTN and so far I have only one gripe - when the headset is connected, the ring tone somes through the handset only, not the phone itself, which means that I'll miss any incoming calls if I don't have the earbuds inserted.
Also, the ring tone sometimes does not start until about 20 seconds after the display has started to announce the incoming call.
I tend to have the earbuds hanging from my neck if I'm not listening to music, and the ring tone is not loud enough to be heard that way.
I suspect this may be by design, because it's assumed that a stereo Bluetooth headset is always in/on the ears when connected to the phone, but I want to use the 970 as my only headset even when I'm not about to listen to music.
Is there any way to get a ring tone from both headset and phone?

?
Anyone figure this one out yet? I have the same problem...
same here, anyone find a solution please post, I think I can change it from the registry I will check it.
Can I ask you folks a question relating to the use of the headset Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970 with the HTC Hermes...do you get all the functionality ie caller ID, the ability to accept and reject the call, compatible with mediaplayer etc.
I have a concern that with the headset not being a HTC product, perhaps some of the Sony functionality may not work with the handset.
Thx
From my experience the ringtones will not come to the speaker if you use the headset as wireless stereo. I only use the headset as handsfree, which makes the ringtones go through the phone.
I used the DS970 for two week with my O2 Trion,feature like Caller Display is No any problem,But when using media player sometime it may out of control, like cann't accept call and control volume or stop.
And the sound quality is acceptable,but it will stop few second after 1 or minutes, I have change the regedit.
May I know is there any way to fix it?
Still no solution?
Anyone come up with a solution to this problem? It really bugs me not to get a ringtone from the unit itself, just thru headset... Works just fine with my old mono handsfree, would be great to have it in the stereo heaseat to...
i have the same problem
hello i have the same problem
the ring sound is only on my headset i have tested with 1.13.097fr and now 1.13.234fr if anybody have the ring on the phone with a headset stereo a2dp cang give us is configuration rom and other soft for the bluetooth.
thank and sorry for my english
juste a little frenchy
There seams as if there's no solution in sight, I got the exact same problem, also with HBH-DS970 and with Jetware Mobile's "Hands-free extension" installed.
I'm still running WM5, anyone who have tried WM6?

Same "design feature" here with my HBH-DS970 and HTC S710 WM6 Smartphone, so it's not ROM, device or OS version specific. I would suggest this is by design.
I'm pretty sure this is by design since thats how it works on my BT8010. Its stereo so it seems to make sense all sounds go through headset although it would be nice if it was an option. The BT8010 has a button on the headset to take it out of music mode so then they will go through the phone but I guess that doesn't help any of you out much.
Another option would be to just uncheck wireless stereo in the pairing and just check it back when you want to do wirelss stereo.
Whilst we all wait to see if the HTC ROM with AKU 3.?? materializes, and if it does, whether the Bluetooth stack is improved, I would appreciate some help on a work around to improve in car hands free performance.
I have recently acquired an HTC Y-cable and a Martin Fields audio plug adapter, and I can now plug my TyTN into the Aux input in my car's sterio system and hear phone calls over my car sterio. However, as you would expect when I envoke my Bluetooth hands free device the sound is diverted away from my sterio and back to the Bluetooth device.
I thought to search for a Bluetooth Mic only but have not located one trawling on the net so far.
Is there a known registry hack that will stop the Bluetooth device from redirecting the sound to it, but still permit the mic to work? That way at least I could hear the other party with clarity even if my voice is not clearer. At least that would solve half the problem of the unsatisfactory Bluetooth performance for those that could use it.
Thanks.
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.
