Hi!
I've been reading a lot of these forums about activating A2DP with a mono-bluetooth headsets, and found (in different places) some different ways, (change a couple of registry settings and with some pocket pc/headset one had to change a file called BTAGExt.dll)
I have made a CAB file for these hacks and also included the file "BTAGExt_new.dll" I call it _new because I change the registry to locate this new file instead of the old, that way one doesn't have to overwrite the dll file and can, if problems occur, change in the registry instead. The file is needed for some (me included) that are having trouble with music playing in the headset for about 10seconds.
Anyway, i have made a self-installing cab file for this, so that other people may use it easily, without need of hacking the registry, one does not need to use btaudioon and similar program to make this work,
EDIT: AS many people pointed out, here are the instructions to USE this , sorry for that:

It is nice to see my little hack being used
BE AWARE:
*VoiceCommand DOESN'T WORK!! (since my cab disables it in favour of all-sound in headset)
*I take NO RESPONSIBILITY if this crashes your phone or anything else, USE IT AT OWN RISK!
* It only changes this things:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2DP\Settings]
"UseJointStereo"=dword:00000000
"BitPool"=dword:0000003a
"MaxSupportedBitPool"=dword:00000050
"MinSupportedBitPool"=dword:0000000e
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Builtin\BtA2dpSnd]
"Priority256"=dword:0000003c
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\VoiceCommand]
"LaunchApEnable"=dWord:1
"VoiceCmdDuration"=dWord:15180
And copies this file: BTAGExt_new.dll to \Windows (or whatever windows dir you have)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway]
"BTAGExtModule"=string:"BTAGExt_new.dll"
Then do a soft-reset and voila, the sound should work.!
This worked great with my X01HT and Motorola HS850.
I used this too with my Sony HBH-60 bluetooth mono headset and it worked perfectly for me too .
Much better for listening to podcasts while in bed!
(no more strangling myself with earphone wires! )

I am not sure, but I belive that if you uninstall it it should go "back" to normal.
otherwise, the "normal" would be
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2DP\Settings]
"UseJointStereo"=dword:00000001
"BitPool"=dword:0000003a (this setting just changes the soundquality)
"MaxSupportedBitPool"=dword:00000050 (this too delete if not wanted)
"MinSupportedBitPool"=dword:0000000e (and this, delete if not wanted)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Builtin\BtA2dpSnd]
"Priority256"=dword:0000003c (delete if not wanted, better quality)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\VoiceCommand]
"LaunchApEnable"=dWord:1 (KEEP!)
"VoiceCmdDuration"=dWord:15180 (change to 30seconds or whatever, dword:30)
And copies this file: BTAGExt_new.dll to \Windows (or whatever windows dir you have) (delete this file!)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway]
"BTAGExtModule"=string:"BTAGExt_new.dll" (change to BTAGExt.dll)

Thank you very much.
I use the audio to bluetooth feature with skype as it would otherwise send the sound to the loudspeaker, which, in a public place is not really convenient.
Now, with the code to "on" the sound and the code to"off" it, maybe there would be a simple way to create an app which would toggle from one state to the other? would you know how to do that ? alternatively, is there some kind of scripting tool for the ppc that I could use ?
thanks in advance,
papex
perfect it s work good for me with tytn and HS850
thank you

Interestingly, this makes A2DP to transfer everytig in mono on my other MS BT stack-based devices, as has also been pointed out in my related article - are you sure this is the original value?

I believe that it is, at least on my device, but I may be wrong, it was long since I did my cab file. so not 100% sure no,
I was as curios as you, could it be that it uses mono to save bandwith? and thereby increase the range of the bluetooth?
but hey, I am no expert, I roughly took reghacks from around this forum and put together a cab file, I tried to make the cab to produce the best sound availible to a monoheadset, and nothing more, nothing less.
as it were a couple of weeks ago I since I did this i don't really remember every detail of it, but I believe most of this is stated in the hermes_wiki
I have not installed this yet and have a question. If I'm listening to my Slingbox through my Nokia 900 headset and get a phonecall, will it automatically switch to the phone call or do I have to stop Slingbox? Thanks

Mic on bluetooth headset
I wanna know if I installed this file to use something like Skype, can I not only hear the sound from my Bluetooth headset but also speak through the headset too?
How do I get back to normal?
Hoping someone could help me out. I tried installing the file above. The installation process went well, but immediately following the soft reset, I noticed that my phone screens and response to menu picks was considerably slower. My phone locks up all of the time, and I am unable to toggle the bluetooth on and off. I tried to uninstall the application, but I get a message at the end saying that it was unable to completely remove the program. Wondering if anyone could help me to get to the registry and change the settings back to normal. HELP!!!!

thanks
Thank you for the cab/hacks. None of the other alternatives worked on my 8525. Now if someone could incorporate this into someway to switch between modes, that would be great. Right now, I install and uninstall the cab several times a day! I get nervous that the registry will get corrupt from all of the install/uninstalls.
Thank you very much!
Hi!
thanks for all the appreciation about my cab! I am happy to see that others are using it and are happy about it
I also noticed that some people has problems with it,
dhenry88: Try and install it again, otherwise, try and revert the setting yourself, I posted the "original" settings a some time ago in this thread, so go get a reg-editor and hack it
because that is all the cab-file does, changes registry (and copies a file to /windows/system32
however, this file is not important for the os itself (because I change the registry to find the changed file, not changing the file and overwriting the original.
but sorry to hear that it had such bad performance on your phone, it shouldn't do anything like that, but hey, every phone is different.

Indeed this is a great little program and I'm very thankful for it. Like lantern, I think it would be great if someone could figure out a way to switch modes easily as I'm unable to initiate a voice call through my Bluetooth headset with this program installed. I too have to install/uninstall the cab many times each day. I’m certainly not complaining, just expressing a wish.
Once my Bluetooth Headset is connected to my Prophet, all my notification sounds come through my Bluetooth Headset instead of the phone speaker.
The sound for normal incoming call works as it should though (through the speaker).
The only way i've found how to solve this problem, is to uncheck the "Wireless Stereo" option under:
Settings > Connections > Bluetooth > i.Tech Clip R35 > Partnership Settings
And then when I want to listen to music through the Windows Media Player, I have to do the opposit.
So, my two questions...
1. Is there a way to map notification sounds to always use the phone's speaker? (or)
2. Is there a small shortcut / Today-plugin that can switch "Wireless Stereo" on/off in one click?
Cheers!
Eric
Yes there is, i use a software called BTAudioToggle, you can place a shortcur to a launchbar in the today plugin, it works fine for me...

Thanks Hybrid, unfortunatly this was a bit wrong...
It seems that this program routed the sounds to the Bluetooth Headset if I wouldn't have "Wireless Stereo".
Hence; it had its functionality when I turned off "Wireless Stereo".
The solution was in the right direction though, but not really right...
BIG note though: It messed up the sound on my normal "Wireless Stereo" mode. So the sound now has a distortion as well.
Ehm but i remember there a software which did the same like btaudio with stereo headsets, but this one costs money. You just have to google, cause i dont remember the name

I found one called BlueMusic: http://www.teksoftbluemusic.com
Could that be the one you're refering to?
BlueMusic unfortunatly got about 99 functions that are more or less useless, packaged in a big memory overhead with nice graphics.
I just wanted the simple on/off switch...
ADD:
I'm running WM6, that's probably why most of BlueMusic's feature are superfluous.
My father got an Aus P535; when he uses the bluetooth headset, an icon is displayed on top, near "start": by clicking that icon, it is possible to redirect or not notification sounds to the headset... I didn't try that on the prophet, but I hope this can help you. bye
@overone: Hang in there...I'm trying to create a solution for one-click wireless stereo on/off..Will let you know as soon as I'm done...
Guys, been trying out a few things on mine AMEO qith BT8010's, it would appear that two reg entries are modified when turning on/off wireless audio.
I have attahced two reg export files bton.txt for audio on and btoff.txt for audio off.
if you look at lines 23 and 61 these are the values the executable will need to toggle. I dont have enough knowledge to code it up but if you know how to by all means give it a try.

any news ??
I've gotten brave enough to start playing around with my 8525, and have found some great info on the site so far. I just flashed to HyperCore Pro 3.60 rom, and am really enjoying it.
There's one thing i'm wondering if there's a solution to. I would like to have the PTT button mapped to turn on/off bluetooth. There's not an option to do this in the button management settings. Would it be possible to map the button to do this? I tried doing a search for it, but found nothing. I think it would be a great option.

There are many many options...
What I found worked for me was using this program A2DPToggle 1.0.RC-2, read the thread on how to create the shortcut. (http://teksoftco.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1626) and it will give you direction on how to map the plugin to a button. (The program is free!) And works great with my car stereo's bluetooth.
Here is the link for the software download: http://www.teksoftco.com/index.php?section=freeware
Go the Wiki, there's a link to a cab here that changes the PTT to bring up speed dial, all you have to do then is open the Button Management program and set Button 5 to Bluetooth. Did it to mine just today earlier at work, works great!!!

I tried this, but in the drop-down menu, there is no option for bluetooth. I also tried to the A2DP, but again no option for it in the dropdown menu in the button management program. Thanks for the A2DP, seems pretty cool.
Ahh, its cause I added something from VJVolubilis called a Blue Toggle...google it and you'll prob find it. (I most likely got it off the Wiki too)
Only had this phone for a few days, been busy...
VJVolubilis worked like a charm. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a lot. Pretty cool that you can actually listen to music over the BT too. Cool stuff!
If you push the button on the microphone which comes with the X1, it answers a call. If you push it twice it seems to call the last person you called.
Is there a way to use this button to invoke the Voice Command monitor?
Thanks
I found it easier just to re-direct the Soft Buttons!!
Left for Voice Command, Right for Comm Manager
Stuart
Yep, that's exactly what I have. Best set-up by far.
But when in the car, it would be easier to use the mic button, so I'd like to double up on Voice Command access.
So.. no-one else has managed this either?

Beside the "push once', and "double push", a "push & hold" action will call this exe such as Voice commander in my example.

Do you read? Of course it does if you are talking about the button in the pic
If you "hold" the button, yr X1 will call the exe program specified in this registry. X1 stock rom does not comes w/ any VC program and you have to install one yrself. Of course, if you put in other program like Core player, it will be start if you hold the button.

Firstly, where have I been rude? Secondly, this has nothing to do with searching. I would challenge you to find a single thread on this subject anywhere else on the whole internet, started before this one. If you're going to criticise at least make some of the criticism partially relevant.
Jackleung, thanks for the solution, but in response to your manner, if you post an arbitrary reg key (a key which has no logical connection to the described solution) and which doesn't work if the instructions are followed (due to the wrong syntax), you should expect for that solution to be met with scepticism.
Coming bach to the original topic:
I wrote a script (thanks, Mort!) that enebles the tap&hold (2-3sec) of the Microphone Button to jump to the next track in Mortplayer (if it is running).
Just copy the two files attached to the \Windows\ directory and change the Registry entry as descibed in Post #5 to

There are two different ways for the X1, to remap the soft keys. One is via the button settings in the windows settings, which is a global override which causes the buttons not to behave as softkeys anymore, and the other is via registry setting (have a look into the Wiki here), that maps specific applications to the softkeys while in today view - this way, the softkeys stay available in all other applications. I personally prefer the last approuch, because I don't like fingerprints on my screen.

No, this only works with mortplayer as you need the possibility to change the track via an exe file or at least an exe with a parameter (like in my script)...If you find a way to do this with the media panel (which i doubt you will ) we could have it...otherwise not.

Hey guys,
setting up Microsoft Voice Command here at the moment.
Working great, if I press and hold the sendkey for a few secs.
But now I want to map the Play/Pause/Accept Call-Button on headset with voicecmd.exe .
I already tried AEButton Plus, but no luck actually =/
It would be so great, if I not even had to put out my phone to dial a contact or something.
Does anyone tried this already and can give me a hint?
Thanks in advance.

Well i dont know about MSVC but the play/pause - Answer key on my wired headset works fine to initiate calls with Cyberon voice commander with no special setting up. If you are referring to bluetooth headsets then as is stated in severasl threads on here they do not work correctly.
Thanks, but in my case I need exactly as I described it above. MSVC over wired original Headset.
Nobody EVER tried that? But it would be so nice and comfortable ..
I haven't really had a detailed look, but have a look at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=476412
It was designed for the Touch HD, and a cursory glance suggests the Leo doesn't use the sddialer.exe app, but the same philosophy should apply. I'll try to update my apps for Leo, and no doubt the concept has already been improved elsewhere, but it should at least give you a pointer!
V
This worked for me - partially. Simply swopped the redial.exe with yours and added a shortcut on Voicecommand..
It works everytime, when the device is unlocked. When I put it to standby, it doesnt work immediately. But if I wait a few minutes, it works .. often. But not every time Dont know, whats the reason for this.
But its definitely a pointer, how it should work in future .. Thanks for that.
I'll try and look into it in more detail soon. I've only had the Leo for a day or so, and am still rom hacking, but will do some coding soon.
Should be easy enough to find the other executable it launches and replace that too.

Looking forward to your release Thanks in advance.
