Been looking around for a resolution to my issue and still can't seem to find any.
Here's the deal, I have a Motorola H710 BT mono headset. I just recently upgraded my rom to the latest "Official" 3.56. and prior to the upgrade I was using bad sector's IDtransfer app with the audiogateway app to be able to listen to the incoming ringtones through the headset and I would use the audiogateway app to be able to listen to music through the headset as needed, then shut if off when I didn't.
The problem arose after the update and when trying to install these same two apps. I would get into a rolling reboot after the soft reset and had to hard reset to fix it.
I'm currently using Destination Gotlands BT app and although it seems to let me hear my ringtones and music through I guess an "always on" audio gateway, it comes at the expense of not having voice speed dial as by pressing down on the earpiece buttin is what turns on the app and opens the gateway, where as before it was what turned on voice speed dial.
Another issue is that when I put the phone in "sleep" mode by pushing the power button, the gateway seems to close and the music no longer is heard through the BT headset. It also does this when i'm not even using the BT headset but the phone's speakers. Is this normal? It seems to cut in and out sometimes. I'm pretty sure that it use to play music with the screen turned off prior to the update. Is there a registry tweak or something that will allow this?
So in brief, what i'm looking for is an app/reg tweak that will allow me to
1. Hear my incoming call ringtones through my BT headset automatically.
2. Still use voice speed dial.
3. Listen to music through my BT headset when I want to and be able to shut it off.
4. Not close the audio gateway with my bt headset when I turn off the screen on my phone.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. And again, this is for WM6.1.
Thanks!
bump. Anyone?
Opposite Problem
I just reflashed my phone the other day.
As I was going and reconfiguring everything I noticed that my bluetooth connection was active even when I put my phone to sleep.
I remember changing some settings last time I configured my phone to turn off bluetooth and not allow data connections when the phone was asleep to conserve battery.
I thought I used an application like "AdvancedConfig" or "KaiserTweak" to change the WM6 settings but I am not seeing those settings in those applications this second time around.
I'm running Dutty's Dual Touch for the Kaiser. I'm sure there are settings to set on the WM6 OS registry that can turn on or off the bluetooth sleep functions.
Do any of you know an application that can change the bluetooth / data connections hack or the registry changes that need to be made to accomplish this?
I think I may have found it.
Go to Settings -> Phone -> "Data" Tab. See if you're "Disable data Connections" setting is checked and try unchecking it.
This may affect bluethooth. I have my macbook connected to my phone showing signal strength and batter. When I unchecked that box and put my phone to sleep the connection was lost.
Let me know if that fixed it.

Don't have that "data" option/tab in my phone settings. Only "Services" and "More". And under services there is no data option either.

Hey you guys…
I’ve got a question…
Is there an app whcich will toggle Bluetooth on when you enter the telephone function of the wizard?(ei. Press the green button) and that toggles Bluetooth on when there is an incoming call?
Then again turns blutooth off when you end the call and telephone app. :?:
Tomtom also toggles Bluetooth on when you launch the app, and it would be nice that you don’t have to manually toggle Bluetooth on when you get an ioncomming call in your car, or when you want to make a call in your car.
This way you can save battery life, because Bluetooth isn’t permanently on, and it turns on when you need it…
Is there such an app, or is this impossible….
Anybody? :?:
Maybe phonealarm can do it. It can definatly switch different profiles like home, car etc. and within the profile you can launch programs, turn on/off bluetooth/hifi

[edit] I should add that WM5 support is still in beta at the moment [/edit]
Okay, but I don't think that you cange a profile when you enter a car, because I just put the phone on a charger, and use a Jabra headset, so no professional carkit.
It would be nice if there's an app that switches bluetooth dependent on another app, not on a profile...
But I'll look into phonealarm...
Thanks, anybody else got an idea?

One reason I didn't keep phone alarm is because it didn't quite do what I was looking for. It was closer than everything else I've found, but seemed to slow my whole experience with my phone down.
Maybe someone like vijay555 might make something that'll do that.
I have got into the habbit of useing my BT headset when getting into the car and turning it off when I get out. I plug my phone into the car to keep it topped up, so using extra power isn't a problem.
Hi all,
Searched under 'bluetooth' with no obvious joy.
When I turn on bluetooth I have to manually make sure that the device is discoverable every time if I want to receive via bluetooth. Is it posible to make the device 'discoverable' automatically when I simply turn bluetooth on?
Thanks.
Matt
Well I'm surprised at you all! lol.
Sorry guys, been away (pc problems!! still ongoing but at least now I can connect to www) so not been watching the site.
Anyone any ideas on this?
Matt
I think you have to tick "receive incoming beams" under connections

All I did was go into bluetooth settings, make discoverable, and everytime I power on my BT Headset, it automatically connects.

Is beam receive switched off? This has been a very common problem with WM5 users before I've published the fix to it.

It should connect every time you power it up - even without your PDA being discoverable.
Hello!
Unfortunatley ihave the same issue when i'm connecting using Stereo BT Nokia BH-501. The problem is that each time after the BT is switched off and then switched on i need to go to Bluetooth settings and make an update for it and save. Only ofter these steps it reconnects to Hermes (HTC TyTN) and starting to play sounds and music through BT
Is it possible to make it fully reconnect automatically after it is switched on and how?
Thanks!
VJVolubilis can force you into discoverable mode from a shortcut, so you can drop that into your startup folder, but it's not advisable to keep yourself discoverable unless required.

Hey VJ
I just tried that... I made a shortcut with the -bluediscoveron paramenter and removed the -status parameter. I dropped it in my Windows\Startup folder.
It doesn't seem to be working, When I turn on my BT, Dicoverable Mode is still OFF. However after, I enable my BT and then click on the shortcut with -bludiscoveron parameter, it works.
Is there anyway to have Discoverable Mode on even after I turn off my BT and then on again?
So i once paired my phone with my car stereo handsfree, but since it was a $100 stereo, the handsfree didn't work correctly. So i don't want to use it anymore. But the stupid stereo have no way to turn off bluetooth.
I tried deleting the stereo from paired devices, and set my phone bluetooth to "hidden" - but that stupid stereo still finds me, and a message about "bla bla wants to connect" pops up everytime i get into my car.
I also tried disconneting power from my stereo, and use the reset switch on it, which reset all settings on it - but IT STILL FINDS MY PHONE!
Anyone have any suggestions on what to do? At the end of the day, i have like 10 notifications on my phone i have to go through and click "No" on...
On the Wizard did you ...?
1) Push the Comm mgr tab
2) Click on settings
3) BlueTooth Settings
4) Mode: UN-check the box "Make this device discoverable to other devices"
5) click OK.
If you didn't do that, try it.
Then go to B/T settings again and pick devices, and remove the device giving you trouble.
That SHOULD do it.
as mentioned i have already made it undiscoverable for other devices. But it still tries to connect to me...
I just got off the phone with HTC *support*. I listen to music on my phone a LOT. I have a BT8040 headset for when I am on the road, and on every other PPC I have had the BT stereo audio service runs at the start of the phone. I just hit play and poof, I have music.
Not so with the Imagio. According to HTC, the ROM is configured so that the hands free profile starts, but the stereo audio profile doesn't. You manually need to drill down through Start-->Settings-->All Settings, tap the bluetooth icon, hit the second tab, and tap Stereo Audio to start it up.
This just plain SUCKS.
When the PPC first starts, right before it loads TF3D, for a brief second I see the icon indicating the Stereo Audio profile has started, then it switches quickly back to the hands free profile icon.
Now then, using Memmaid, I see that the BTAGSVC (Bluetooth Audio Gateway) is there and set to automatic, and I also see that the dll referenced is on the Windows directory (btagsvc.dll). However, when trying to start the service it tells me that the system cannot find the file specified. I am sure it is something that HTC has placed to prevent it.
A search for "btagsvc" brings up hklm\services\BTAGSVC and a few hklm\software\microsoft\bluetooth\services entires that are numbered with big long stings that my old hands can't type due to the cold.
Here are my questions:
When I tap "Stereo Audio" in the location above, what does it do? Start an EXE and execute a command line? Can a shortcut be made to that command line or whatever and put in startup? Can the service be added to startup by getting around how ever HTC has prevented it from starting? A registry edit?
Can we find what HTC has done to prevent it from starting and running?
Any help is appreciated, I have hit the limit of my knowlege.
Quicker Drilldown
If you tap the top bar, it gives you a menu page with a bluetooth selection that takes you to where you connect to your device. It's not great, but quicker than going through start->settings, etc.
I noticed the same thing. But it's not consistent for all BT devices thankfully... my Motorola T505 connects perfectly.
I too have noticed that the BT does not work as seemlessly as it should. I leave BT on all the time and when I turn on my motorola HD headset it connects fairly quickly and works fine. If I do a soft reset, then I need to re-establish the connection.
Has anyone had issues with not being able to turn on the blue tooth service on the device? I currently am having that problem. Worked in the beginning but somewhere between then and now... it no longer will turn on... and reports that it can not be. I have looked high and low to try to figure out how BT has been disabled on this device and can find no references at all.
Is it possible to have the HD2 automatically pickup incoming calls when connected to BT? (either car or headset).
Any help appreciated
Don't know if it's possible to have WM6.5 phones auto pick up incoming calls.
Anyway I found an empty branch HKCU\ControlPanel\AutoPickUp in the registry.
Go to the Settings tab, Menu, All Settings, Personal, Phone and scroll to the "More" tab.
There's a setting in there for automatically answering when a headset it connected.
I don't know if this works with a BT headset, but I think it does.
Hope it helps
Edit:
After a bit of googling, it looks like this doesn't work, but I don't have a BT headset with me to try it. Give it a go anyway.
Another edit:
It looks like this piece of software will allow you to do what you want (amongst MANY other things!)

Ah! The setting was well hidden. Thanks! gonna give it a try
edit: tested and works okay
