Hi *.
Default output order for Touch HD is: external speaker, 3.5mm jack, bluetooth headset. So when I connect bluetooth headset while listening mp3s, jack output or external speaker will be turned off. But that's not what I want. Is there any way to have mp3s [or any other non-call audio] played throught jack, but incoming call throught blue headset? I really need this.

In the settings for the Bluetooth headset, there should be two check boxes ... one for "Wireless stereo" and another for "Handsfree".
I am guessing you have both ticked when you only wnat the Handsfree ticked, perhaps? Would that work?

Okay thanks. Though I tried to use stereo headphones I had from my old MP3 player, and for some reason they're not working.
It works as a standard 3.5mm headphone jack, if you are using handsfree. there are another two additional connectors that connect the mic, but works fine with normal headphones, are you sure that the headphones work, is the volume turned up! I know it sounds patronising, but the volume can get accidently turned down.
Is there any way to stream phone calls using the wireless stereo profile? Whenever a call comes in I have to used the speaker on the handset instead of just using the actual bluetooth speakers that I have music streaming to. So what I would like to do is have is have audio from my phone call stream to the speakers will using the speaker phone. Possible??
ok, let me understand this...
you have BT stereo headset, correct?
Which ones?
I use the Moto S9 stereo headset and when a call comes in, the music stops, and I get BT audio over the headset just as if it was a normal BT mono headset

No I have a insignia bluetooth adapter for ipod dock. I have my ipod hooked up in my car and it streams audio from my phone but when a call comes in it switches back to the phone's speaker. I want it to continue stream all audio even if it has to mute the music to let the audio for the call come through. I want to here the person calling me streaming through my car speakers.

probably because the BT adapter doesn't have the "Handsfree" profile, it most likely only has "Wireless Stereo" profile. On your phone, go into settings > connections > bluetooth and find the device on the lilst, click-n-hold the device name to bring up the menu, select edit. What profiles are listed?

there's you problem...
BT has several profiles, Handsfree, Wireless Stereo, PAN, File Sharing, etc...
Each device must be able to handle the different types of profiles to do the specific task. The problem is, the manufactuirer of the device only puts in the profiles that are needed for that type of device. So in your case, it was never designed to be used in that manner, hence they never bulit in the "Handsfree" profile.
My S9 Bluetooth stereo headset was designed to be able to produce stereo audio AND be able to recieve calls, therefore it has both "Wireless Stereo" and "Handsfree" profiles.
The Insignia NS-BTHDP stereo bluetooth headset has music and phone calls in stereo and its cheaper than the s9.

I read both threads and the wiki....got nothing from it. Am I missing something? The only thing that shows up in my bluetooth menu is the wireless stereo profile. I'm trying to get both music and phone calls to stream while using the microphone on the phone. If I'm mising some please let me know
Me too
I've a Motorola Q and a "Stereo Headset" device that allows me to listen to media audio, dialing and tones on my car stereo. However, I cannot get the audio of a phone call to go through this device.
I also would like to choose what microphone and what speaker is being used when on a call, especially for the hour-long teleconferences I participate in at least twice a week during rush hour traffic.
I have a feeling that this can't be done (because I looked into it with my XDA Exec a few years ago), but....
Is there any way that I can play mp3s via the extUSB into a car stereo (via an AUX in) and yet answer calls via the same stereo's integrated bluetooth via the headset profile?
The stereo would normally drop the AUX in sound for a bluetooth call, but clearly the extUSB would normally handle calls if a audio output device is plugged into it. With my Exec, I seem to remember that the hardwired audio output would be the default, and so the bluetooth would never engage.
If there is a hardware solution, I would be very keen to know! Even better if the extUSB also charged my Vario IV in a passive holder.

What about playing music through the blue tooth of your car stereo? Tricking the car into thinking its actually engaged in a call so it plays music. Might have to be something done on the phone side to transmit the music as a call and then when you receive a call the music stops and you can answer the call and when the call ends music resumes? Just a thought i dont know if it is possible at all. But you bring up a really good idea.

Thanks for the thought, but the stereo doesn't accept bluetooth streams - it simply just has the ability to act as a hands free device.
Any more thoughts anyone? (Although someone has just posted about a device that looks intriguing with AUX and power in)
It's definitely doable. Thats what I've done with my non BT Pioneer deck. Check out my post here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3278241#post3278241.

Thank you too for the feedback, but I can't see a bluetooth device in your chain. Perhaps I wasn't clear in the original post, but in the end I suppose the question is can calls be handled over bluetooth when there is any audio outpu device plugged into the extUSB?
Sorry. My bad. You are right, I did misread your post.

the answer is yes. that is what i do daily.
i listen to music through quality wired headphones, and when a call comes in i use my bt headset WITHOUT unplugging the headphones from extUSB.
all you need to do is answer the call using the answer button on your bt headset and not your phone.
in some phones, if you will press the send key on the phone and not the bt headset, the call will transfer to the phone instead of the bt headset.
hope i was able to help.

Thank you.
Do you think it matters that you're using headphones rather than a headset? I'm just wondering, since you refer to headphones, if the lack of speaker in your wired device means the call will hand over to the BT device - this will allow me to work out what I need to buy.
hmm i think since your aux input wont really have a mic attached it should hand over the call to the bluetooth headset from what the other person is saying.
Hi, I don't know if this will apply to your stereo setup but I thought I would let you know my setup anyway.
I use the HTC multifunction audio cable http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=171925 which lets me charge my phone via a car charger and use the 3.5mm audio output to the stereos aux input at the same time - all of which are in center armrest compartment.
I use bluetooth connection to the factory installed bluetooth prep (BMW 3-Series). When a call comes in the TP pauses the audio and the BT phone then takes over. When the call ends the TP un-pauses the audio
I just installed a Blaupunkt MP57 on Sunday and did exactly what you're describing. Phone connected via aux playing music, answer or make calls via bluetooth on the stereo and the music pauses then restarts when the call is ended.

Both can send all outgoing audio from your WM device via BT headset channel instead of A2DP. It's not advanced audio but it will let you play audio over the headset BT channel. Sound can be tweaked using SRS WOW HD.
ExtUSB is just a port which will enable playing MP3 tracks on for example USB drive? Why not put your connection in USB mode then?
I'm not sure if this will help you, but I bought a Motorola Bluetooth Car Kit. I don't have the "phone" feature built into my car Stereo, so I used the external amplified speaker and mic for "phone" functions. The Car Kit has an Aux Out, with I feed into my car stereo. When I get into the car, the Bluetooth initiates two separate "connections". One for the "phone" and one for the "MP3 Player". You can have either one or both. The music plays through the car stereo (via the Aux Input) and phone calls play the the external Car Kit Speaker. It is like having two independent bluetooth "channels". When I have Voice Commander enabled, it communicates through the "phone" channel, i.e., the Car Kit mic and external speaker. That is also where my incoming email is announced through. My Garmin GPS "speaks" through the Aux out and the Car Stereo though. I'm not sure how these routes are selected. Personally, I would prefer that the GPS also communicated through the "phone" channel, that way if I am listening to the Radio, or Sirius, or a CD (not on AUX-IN), I would still here the GPS voice guidance. I'm not sure if that can be changed or not.
Hope this helps.
I do this all the time. USB to 3.5mm stereo to Pioneer head unit and calls come in over the BT
Thanks all for the input.
Just bought a Brando adaptor:
http://www.inkino.co.uk/zen/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=126&products_id=1502
Tested it and Copilot and Music run from the Aux out. Bluetooth hand over perfectly. As an aside, I find WMP is a better MP3 player, simply because I can reduce the volume in the software, but leave Copilot to use the system volume at a slightly higher level so the voice doesn't get lost (the HTC player doesn't seem to have the same capability).
Could have bought the HTC branded device from the same place, but the main lead from the Ext USB is slightly longer and more inflexible so wouldn't easily fit under my car holder.
BTW, since I live close to the shop (plus I love instant gratification as opposed to mail order), I visited the Inkino shop in London. I must say that the staff were very knowledgeable and helpful and the shop has a huge range of HTC accessories (including a branded battery and extended battery for my Universal, which I am planning to resurrect). Not sure about the prices vs ebay, but for the bricks and mortar approach in the UK, where it is difficult to find anything HTC - 1st class!
Is there any way to get the speaker phone active when 3.5mm audio jack is connected? I use an FMtransmitter connected to the 3.5mm to get the sound out in my car speakers, works fine with music and tomtom sound... but when i get a phone call i would like to answer with speaker phone preferable with the sound still from my car speakers, but with the phone mic activated.
It seams like the phone mic is deactivated when 3.5mm is connected.

I don't know the answer to that specific question, but...
I have a very similar set up to you (though the 3.5mm jack runs directly to my car stereo), using PocketMusic and TomTom.
The in-built mic is active in this case - If I get an incoming call, or make an outgoing call, the audio out is routed through my car stereo (i.e. I hear the other person over the car speakers). The mic still picks up my voice and I can have a conversion. I'm using a regular 3.5mm->double RCA lead (i.e. there is no mic present on the audio jack).
I'm getting ready to mount my N7 in the dash of my 97 4Runner where the double din goes. This will block the internal microphone(s).
I will have the 3.5mm jack hooked up to an amplifier for sound.
Is there a bluetooth microphone available to use for voice input and the likes? Id like to somehow sync my phone to the tablet and make phone calls using this mic as well.
I know I could use a bluetooth headset, but I want the audio to go through the 3.5mm jack to my car speakers. Is it possible to make use of just the mic on a BT headset and disable the audio portion?
Anyone?

Maybe you could use a headphone splitter and use a mic like this http://www.amazon.com/External-Bluetooth-Microphone-W01171805-W01176815/dp/B006IL7BCA
