Hello guys,
I bought a Anycom Bluetooth headset, the BSH-100 Stereo Bluetooth Headset to be spesific.
Now this isnt the greatest headset, but it does the trick quite nicely.
There are some problems though.
First of all since it is a handsfree and a stereoheadset, it has functions for both talking and listening to music. Herein lies the problem.
I mostly use it to listen to music, and it should be able to play and pause the music player on my HTC Diamond. It seems like it wants to be handsfree more than a headset though. Pressing the play/pause button on the handsfree will connect it to the phone and repeat the last call made..
Is there any way I can make it connect as a music headset and only pause/play?
As it is now, I have to connect it manually, define it as a music headset and then press play in the music player.
Hope this works, good luck!
Go to START > SETTINGS > CONNECTIONS > BLUETOOTH > Tap on your headset name > Check both Wireless stereo and Headset if one box is not checked > OR uncheck Headset and check Wireless stereo, if it helps...

I have an iTech S35 bluetooth headset for taking calls and listeneing to music but everytime I connect it to my Tytn by BT, I always have to go into the settings of the BT connection on the Tytn to 'set as wireless stereo'. I have to do this every time or I can't listen to music - is this right or have I missed a setting along the way?
I don't have the s35 but with my sony ds I just set it up once, if I want to activate it I just press the play button on the bluetooth headset and it goes into wireless stereo, try pressing the power /play button on the s35 to see if it switches, you should only set it once, there are some clips that had issues though, but I don't think the s35 was one of them.
Hey Sean,
I've got the same issue!!! The manual does say after switching the S35 on you shoulf press the MFB to initiate the connection but this doesn't happen!.
I'll try the headset with some other phone like the N70 tomorrow and see what happens there as the headset is in work - no it's not! It's here!!! Let me try and post another reply...

Just tried with my PC and have the same issue. Need to tell my PC to connect to the headphone profile after switching on the S35.
EDIT:
Just stole mt friends Noaki 6680 and installed the I-Tech MSI player on it. But you need to configure which BT device the player uses so what i think is happening is that when you play music (can only be with the MSI player for stereo) the software connects to the S35 first like doing 'set as wireless stereo' on the TyTN then plays the music...
Nightmare, might have to upgrade to an R35 or somethigh with a remote as I think the remote command from the clip to the TyTN initiates the BT connection for audio also.

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 have a lexus with BT (factory bluetooth), I was wondering if its possible to play music from my 8125 through the car's speakers via bt (i installed the a2dp CAB but wen i go to select the handsfree as stereo headset, its grey-ed out and cant select it??)
any ideas?

You paired them right?
--M
yup, all paired, i useit normally for calls and everything, but i wanted to c if i could play music and use the cars speaker system as "bluetooth headset" and play my music =D
I don't have a BT stereo headset, so I dunno if I'm talking out of my ass here, but I wonder if this would work. Its what I use to listen to podcasts on my BT handsfree.
hmm, strange, wen i turn on the app, no sound comes from the car, turn it off and the sound is normal from speakers of the phone =S
need playing around with?
it may be possible that the built in BT in the lexus might not support it!

The Lexus doesn't use A2DP (because it's NOT a stereo headset) but the standard headset mode.

Hi,
I realise this is slightly off topic, but this forum has been extremely helpfull to me before and i bought my bluetooth headset for my Kaiser.
I would like to use my Headset (Sony HBH DS980) to listen to music and use skype. i linked it to my Notebook and had no problems with that, but i dont know how to convince the notebook to play the audio on the headset.
if i check the properties of my headset in the bluetooth settings, i cant see any services, the headset is listed as an "audio device" though.
many thanks in advance,
t
Go to ; Start , Settings , Control panel , Sound and Audio devices, go to the tab : Audio and select @ Sound Playback ; Default device your bluetooth hands-free audio and if it is a headset also @ Sound Recording default device ; Bluetooth Hands-free Audio.
Hope this helps you.
Does anyone know if it is possible to use your headset output to play MP3 and still have my bluetooth connected to answer calls on a Touch Pro2 (T-Mobile)
I think you might be able to do that. I haven't tried this but here is what you need to do:
When you connect your bluetooth headset (i'm assuming you you have a stereo headset) to the phone select properties and disconnect "Stereo Audio" and only leave Handsfree active. This should allow all your media to either play through the speaker or wired headphone.

i used a Plantronics Discovery 975, worked perfectly for me.... i got sprint
I have tryed it.. but I will Try again
I went to the Bluetooth settings and did turn off the Stereo setting, but it started to play in Mono in my Bluetooth, Then I Disconnected and reconnected the headset output jack for my MP3's and it played trough the headset output....made a call to my Phone and picked up and when I hung up it went back to playing MONO in my Bluetooth headset and had to Disconnected and reconnected the headset output jack to get MP3’s to play trough headset output
I have a Planitronics Voyager 855 Bluetooth headset
I just cannot find a setting that keep allowing it to play Mono
I am running DeepShinning v.4 on my Touch Pro 2 t-mobile
It is a setting's issue, under advanced settings the audio hands free related settings needs to be unchecked

you are right, and also that type of bluetooth you have... HTC and Plantronics advices that the Discovery 975 is not compatible with the Touch Pro 2 but it worked perfectly for me and the sound was great, both talking and playing music.
