Reducing pocketpc bluetooth profile - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Is there a way to reduce the bluetooth profiles on a PocketPC ?
My problem is a little bit complex but i'll try to explain.
I have the following bluetooth setup for communicating on a (motor)bike
- IMC Camos BTS 300 Bluetooth headset/intercom
- PMR Alan midland 445 with bluetooth
- PocketPC with Windows mobile 6
the headset has 2 bluetooth channels
1st ch, for connection with a navigation device, mp3 player or PMR
2nd ch, for direct communication with other camos headset, passenger or 2nd rider
on the 1st bluetooth channel, you can connect 2 bluetooth devices
but when you connect 2 devices with a headset/handsfree profile, like a PMR (for bike2bike communication) and a PocketPC (for navigation) the camos keeps switching between the 2 devices, it can't decide which one to use for the voice output.. The manufacturer says it works with a PMR and TomTom for example. So if i could reduce the pocketpc bluetooth profiles to something like a2dp only, everything should work nicely. Can this be done?

Bluetooth Profiles

Can anyone tell me the list of the bluetooth profiles supported by our XDA II, i'm start getting frustrated
it has a bluetooth voice profile (for phone call only) and you can connect to a bluetooth handset (for data use)...i dont believe currently you can transfer objects via bluetooth
Probably, they'll add more Bluetooth profiles with ROM upgrades.
I wonder: is it difficult to code Bluetooth profiles?
Can someone take a profile from another mobile or PDA and
port it to the XDA II/MDAII/QTEK ?
So, from an iPAQ for example.
Personally, I would be _very_ interested in a Bluetooth profile for GPS receivers.

Bluetooth A2DP Profile / Advanced Audio Distribution Profile

Hi all!
Somebody knows if there is any chance that we will get to see an A2DP Profile on the XDA2 anytime soon? This would be soo cool and the possibilities are endless!! Its so frustring having a device that "could do it all" but then its still not possible.....:?
There are a lot of interesting devices coming to the marktet now (BT Stereo Headsets, BT-Audio Transceivers and Receivers to connect to HIFI Equipment)
check it out:

and a cheap one (sold here in Switzerland)

I just wonder why there is nobody or even a company like Widcomm developing these missing profiles (like PAN Profile, BT-Network access etc..) for the XDA. I would definitly be willing to pay if you could buy them on Handango or so.... :wink:
Cheers
Has anyone know A2DP on either PDA or Smartphone?
It's compatible with MDA Compact (XDAIImini) ?
RE
I tried the A2DP profile on my WM2003SE O2 XDA II with Widcomm bluetooth stack and the sound through my iPHONO bluetooth headphone was crappy. Many times there were interruptions like split second cut off and then the music would resume.
I used GSPlayer and faced some problems like the volume slider does not function, does not automatically jump to next track upon completion of the current sound track etc
BTW, you'll need to enable the Headset and the High Quality Audio profiles for the iPHONO headphone in order for it to work.
Also, Widcomm bt stack does not support headset profile

Bluetooth connections?

How can I increase the amount of Bluetooth connections? To enable me to use my bluetooth handsfree and TOMTOM at the same time?
Not quite sure. But as far as we know, the bluetooth hardware built-in can support only one connection at a time.
Several devices can be paired and work at the same time as long as they are not of the same function, meaning 2 bt headsets cannot be used simultaneously but a bt gps receiver and a bt headset is ok.
You need a Virtual Com port/GPS splitter.

Bluetooth - connect Stereo Audio + Hands-free together(?)

I have the following problem when connecting the HD2 with bluetooth to my car stereo:
The car stereo is capable of BT-phone (Hands-free) as well as BT-audio (Stereo Audio) connection. The connections are made automatically (connections are set and authorized) indicated with two different symbols indicating each connection.
The following occurs:
A. When connecting the HD2 for the FIRST time to this stereo, both BT-phone and BT-audio do connect automatically. This can be monitored by the two symbols on the car stereo, and also in the bluetooth connection monitor on HD2.. both Stereo Audio and Hands-free are connected, indicated by the green arrows.
B. When connecting the HD2 again (so anytime but first time), ONLY BT-phone does connect automatically!
The BT-audio connection I can connect when I need to, but this can be done only manually in the bluetooth settings on the HD2 by ticking the Stereo Audio entry.
In case B it makes no change if I check or uncheck the "Connect seperately to Bluetooth hands-free and stereo audio services" checkbox in the connection properties on the HD2. Makes no difference.
Also, a normal stereo bluetooth headset connects both BT-phone and BT-audio at all times,
So for the car I would like to also have Stereo Audio connect automatically too (like Hands-free). For the HD2 I have tried several ROMs and several soft/hard resets to make sure it is a problem which always occurs..
Why does the car stereo only connect both services the first time the connection is made, and afterwards only the phone handsfree service?

using fiscon mobile.
at the same time i have quality issues (no bass or low sampling rate). but i guess this is a fiscon problem? it was the same with my previous i-phone.
Audio quality is fine here. Is the connection issue a Windows Mobile bug?

on a fiscon? are you using a fiscon as well?
I don't know if this is helpful, however I have an IO Play system in my car and it connects automatically everytime for both handsfree and audio streaming.
Works fine for me with my Lidl (!) Silvercrest car stereo. But for me the HD2 has to be playing audio/music for the Bluetooth streaming to work.
FYI - my car stereo is an Eclipse 3200
Have the same issue with A2DP Bluetooth headphones/handsfree.
While the device recognised it as Bluetooth stereo and handsfree and on a first connection both connections are active in device profile, on any other connections only handsfree connects authomatically. And I need to mannually connect stereo in Bluetooth manager :/
Same here :S
Every time i connect my Nokia BT Headphones " Hands free" connects automatically and "Stereo audio" not
I also have exactly the same problem. only BT-Phone connects, not BT-Audio.
I have a Sony headunit. Seen as I guess we all have different headunits in our cars, it must be an issue with the HD2 not the stereo.

I have a Sony car stereo.
Same here except in my case I have a cheapy Tevion (Aldi) headunit. This is a real pain in the neck if you stop and turn off the engine of the car because then I have to reconnect BT Audio again
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this also happens with A2DP stereo headsets with combined audio+HF.. Don't know why though..
Had this problem with my HTC Diamond, and now with my HD2.. Search for "A2DP Toggle"..
It defintiely happens with some A2DP headsets - I have a Sony headset and it happens on that. You have to manually connect A2DP profile each time.
We need an A2DP toggle for the HD2 Widcomm stack ...

I have a Sony headset which connects both BT Audio and BT Phone together, and a Sony Car stereo which connects only BT Phone.
I have the exact same issue with my JVC car head unit, should be able to connect to use as hands-free and stream music, but neither will retain a connection. I can't connect and pair the devices with the '000' (or whatever I choose) BT pairing code. My previous mobile worked perfectly and auto-connected as it should every time.
I submitted it as a support request on HTC (UK) site, here is my response:
Thank you for your enquiry.
The Bluetooth accessory you have mentioned may not be fully compatible with the HTC handset so may have limited features to be used with the device. For example you maybe able to pair it but other faults may occur. Please keep an eye on our website for any future updates such as Bluetooth patches and ROM upgrades. We cannot confirm if and when these may or may not become available.
As a test, you maybe able to delete all Bluetooth partnerships/devices from your handset and start the pairing process again.
Is it working now?
As an alternative solution please see compatible and recommended Bluetooth accessories in the Buy section of our website below:
(Link to 'HD2 Bluetooth Accessories' page of their website)
Please let us know how you get on and we will assist you further if and when required as a matter of urgency.
Best regards,
Mat

Not the response I wanted, and when I have followed up on this reply I got the same copy/pasted text response! Upon following up on that reply I think they gave up on me as I haven't got a reply this time!
Basically, they want me to go out and spend another couple of hundred £ on more equipment to achieve my hands-free (without an earpiece) requirement, even though I already have the equipment but can't make it connect!!

HTC is getting better and better at standard responses. However there are also helpful and knowledgeable people on the other side of the communication line.
Approved bluetooth says nothing, as if they will try to test every bluetooth device in the world, even sold prior to the birth of the HD2... right.
However the problem is perhaps more WinMo related and not only HD2. But I have only the HD2 to test with..
AND WHILE WRITING... I see that also sony stereo headset is connected as BT Phone... guess we need a small tool to connect bluetooth easily.
I think its a combination of the software in the Bluetooth device and the host. My Sony headset would also require manual A2DP connection with my previous phone - an Eten. As others have posted here other Sony headsets will pair with the HD2 automatically for A2DP.

I can also confirm this "bug". Can't get my A2DP device (BCK-08) to connect (itself) as BT Stereo. Everytime reconnects automatically in HF mode. That really sucks.

[Q] two BT channel. Do it exist?

Hi,
on my Sony Z1 (I think the same of Z2) with 4.4.4 android. I want to connect two devices:
- one headset
- one BT car device
Is it possible? I mean: can I connect the headset and then (when I enter on my car) connect with the BT car device? I think I could do that just using two different BT channel
Am I in the right way or not?
And, if yes, how can I choose a particular channel to connect with a particular gadget?
TIA
Renato
Go to quick settings and use the "Throw" utility to select which device to connect to.
This assumes you have already paired with different devices
I just connected SONY BT headset (official PS3 headset) and SONY A/V receiver (Throw option) and both appear connected.
Music and sound effects from games go to A/V receiver and voice from phone calls are heard on headset.
Working as intended.
