Audio over bluetooth

I have skype installed on my qtek 9000, and wanted to be able to use it from my bluetooth headset (Jabra 250). I started skype from the qtek screen, and of course could not get the bluetooth audio to stay on for more than a few seconds. The cyberon voice dialer keeps starting up, and as soon as it is through waiting for sound, it shuts down and so does the bluetooth headset audio. I happened to create a voice tag to start skype, and made a 100% repeatable discovery. If I start skype from the headset, I have continuous audio. Even if I shut skype down in memory, running programs, the audio continues in the jabra. If I start skype from the qtek screen, this does not happen. Once I have the continuous audio connection, a simple press of the headset button reverts all to normal. Hopefully there will be some information here to allow a hack of the audio gateway problem.

i just tried to reproduce this on my mda pro with jabra 800...it worked..actually it is my feeling it worked ecactly every other time.but this is ok too, if one knows it you can tell by the noise in the headset if its connected or not..amazing...what a useful information...great! thanks for posting...interesting no one else jumped on it yet...the question now is how to get an incoming call into the headset...

So you're saying you can listen to audio over the headset or something?

vj: thats exctly right...isn't that amazing? the moment you get the headset connected through bringing up skype with the voice tag, the headset stays connected until you disconnect it again by pressing the appropriate button on the headset..even if then you switch apps it stays on..you hear every system sound etc in the headset.obviously the sound is a noisy phone headset sound and sure has nothing to do with a2dp..but you hear...actually i just tried to do the trick with assigning a voice tag to media player...didn't work...but skype can initiate it and keeps it up...cool...

AndyME: give me a few mins and I'll show you a better trick... coming soon

you know what: i expected something like this from you when i saw that apparently you got nterested...lol...the good thing about this trick is: you do not have to restart the device to get into this mode..although i stll have not figured 100% out how to make it happen for sure...it kind of works sometimes and sometimes not...now i am curious to see what you are coming up with....lol...

Ok Andy, finally finished the webpage.

You basically want to try the -agon option. It should, I hope, transfer audio straight over to your headset. I hope.

BT Headset issue. Please help.

Hi. I have a Spring ppc-6700 running wm5 with the latest rom.
My problem is that I cannot use the BT headset to talk on Skype or to listen to music from the computer. I do not know how to switch to the headset. It's paired and i see the headset icon on the screen. Before the latest rom i used to press the action button on the headset and it would switch to it. Now when i press the button i get this annoying voice dialing feature.
OT: When i use skype it only works in speakerphone mode. Any way i can get skype to work through the earpiece so emulate talking on the phone?
Thanks.

This is normal behavior.
Skype does not support the phone functions on Pocket PC and so your (mono) Bluetooth headset does not get its sound. The same happens for ANY application that is not part of the "phone" functionality of the Pocket PC. The mono Bluetooth headsets ONLY work with applications that recognize the "HSP or HFP Bluetooth profiles".
>Any way i can get skype to work through the earpiece
There are two ways to do that:
1. Email Skype and tell them to get their sh*t together and provide a phone-friendly version of Skype that supports HSP/HFP.
2. Buy a *stereo* Bluetooth headset. This will work both for music and general pocketPC sound (in A2DP/AVRCP mode) and in HFP/HSP mode (for phone calls). With a stereo Bluetooth headset you can hear the Skype sound on your headphones, but you will still need to talk using the PocketPC's microphone (until Skype supports the HSP/HFP profile that is). For normal phone calls, you will be able to use the headphones and microphones of the BT headset directly.
It all boils down to applications support the HSP/HFP BT profile.

i've used the bluetooth headset with skype before but after this update with the stupid voice dialer app, i just can't get it to work at all. I want to get rid of voice dialer app. and have sound being routed to the headset as before.

I tried BTAudioToggle.exe with no success. Absolutely nothing happens.

FIXED.
I went to
HK_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\VOICECOMMAND\Path
And cleared the path. This way when i press the bluetooth button on the headset it just activates the headset profile but doesn't launch the stupid voice dialer which shuts off the headset profile.

Hands-Free as "wired headset" on TyTN

Using the Voice Command over Bluetooth registry hack I am able to have the BT headset kick in and work with Voice Command perfectly well. I can even change the registry setting to have it run something else, like te Media Player, and hear music over my head set (It's a Jabra XJ10 btw). Problem is, the headset stays connected for only about 15 seconds, before switching off and the TyTN using it's main speaker again. Has anyone figured out how to keep the connection on by any chance?

It shows that playing music over a non BT Stereo headset is possible. But it stops automatically after 15 seconds as voicecommand restarts. I think there is some way to rework this so we can listen to music with the BT headset.

The 15 second thing applies even when te button is made to run media player, or some other software, not just voicecommand. I am hoping there is some registry fix that can be changed to fix this. Either that, or some hardware registry fix that would allow me to change the already-detected handsfree profile of my headset into a BT Stereo profile. If anyone has a BT stereo headset and access to registry settings for it, please post them here so I can try messing with it. Thanks.

I did see a program some where on here that allowed you to click a check box and it put all audio through the BT headset. Search around, I'll see if I can find it again.

BT Audio loosing settings

Hope someone can help me with my problem (Nothing found on XDA search).
I have a BT620s headset and it works great, both for stereo music and as a handsfree set.
The problem is, if I disconnect the bluetooth or answer a call I always loose the Wireless stereo. Under the BT devices is it still shows as selected but I always have to do a refresh reselect "wireless stereo" and save it again to get it working each time.
Is there something I can do to make it stick ie: registry setting?
Thanks

confirmed
Hi to All,
i have exactly the same problem. Actually, in my case even an alarm or a reminder switches the A2DP to mono and i am not able to go back to stereo without a soft reset....

Anyone have an idea?

Handfree to Headset swicher?

Currently I'm using Jabra 8010 stereo headset. I really like it, but it has an annoying problem. Whenever the headset is on, it routed ALL the audio into the headset including the phone ring. I missed some call because of this. The only way to solve is the uncheck the Wireless-headset option in the Bluetooth setting. But it's a pain in the *ss to do ComMan > Bluetooth setting > uncheck wireless headset > Finish whenever I wanna to listen to music. And when I don't want to listen to music I have to reverse all those steps. Does anyone know of a program to switch or turn ON/OFF wireless-headset when you're on Today screen? help me please and thank you in advance.

Found a great product and it is free! It puts a plugin where you cant run handsfree and stereo functions at the same time! I'm just loving it, now I can use voice command over my car stereo....

I use this for handsfree with my car stereo
