Using Bluetooth headset and headphone socket - HD2 General

Sorry if this has been asked before, but i had a look and couldn't find what i'm after.
Basically, my HD2 connects automatically to my car's bluetooth handsfree kit. My handsfree kit doesn't support A2DP so I still need to use the headphone socket to listen to music from the phone through the stereo. However, if the phone has paired with the car, the headphone socket doesn't work and the stereo thinks I'm getting a call when i try and play music.
Is there any way I can enable music through the headphone socket while the phone is paired to the handsfree kit?
Thanks!

anyone? it's really annoying!

This may not be the answer your looking for but have you tried cutting out the middle man i.e. the BT handsfree kit. Just use your phone and it'll patch a call thru the headphones and cancel the music.
Saves removing the headphones each time you get a call.

In BT manager, when you select your car device, what services do you have? If there's a stereo one, untick it.

Nope, just the headset profile. I've also tried turning on/off the option to send system sounds over bluetooth, but no joy. It just seems that as soon as it connects to the car, the headphone socket is disabled.....

OK, so I think the problem was either the tape adapter I was trying to use was playing up or during my messing about with settings I changed something.... either way it appears to be ok with headphones so should be fine with a line in

Using wired headset and bluetooth handsfree

May sound like a strange request but i want to use an fm transmitter so i can listen to stuff through my car stereo but also want to be able to use my bluetooth car kit, question is if i plug in the headset and adaptor which i plan to make will this then be seen as a handsfree kit and stop the bluetooth kit working
Anyone know before i buy the bits
Thanks
Chris
Just tried it out, bluetooth car kit works for all telephone calls and all music and device sounds come through the headphones, when the phone rings the music mutes and the call comes through the car kit, very clever until you hang up the call, then the music does not come back through the head phones, you have to unplug them and plug them back in again, very strange

Bluetooth headset problem

I just bought a headset for my Atom Exec and I can't work it all out, I want to listen to music from the memory card so I have set the bluetooth to Hands Free, Wireless Stereo and headset, all three are ticked. All is working fine but the only problem I have is when the phone rings you can only here it through the stereo headphones which makes sence but I can see this causing problems if I put the headphones down, I will miss calls as I want hear the phone ringing. Is there a way to make the phone ring also threw the speaker on the phone as well while using the headphones?
Unfortunately I don't think so. If you turn the Stereo Headset profile on all sound is routed to the headset. If someone knows how it would be great.
What you can do instead is set the phone to vibra + ring mode so that if you don't have the headset on, at least the phone will still shake.
hi Seal,
which bluetooth headset did you get? i'm asking because i just got the atom (not exec) and can't get the BT to work as a wireless headset - it only works when making calls.
also, you mentioned 'wireless stereo' checkbox, i don't see this option in the atom but it could be an exec feature.
thanks.
Hi, I bought the Plantronics, I use them every day and love them, it is such a great thing to not have wires hanging around.

"I has an Atom", and I also have a mono, ordinary Bluetooth headset (Planex BT-03HS).
Seal: try turning off the Wireless Stereo profile, then getting this program called BlueMusic by Teksoft - it has an option you can uncheck that will allow the ringtone to come through its original source instead, while still routing music through your BT.
Yes, the program can do this even in unlimited trial mode - however, it only puts your music back on the BT band after a call in full-mode. I have no idea if this will work on stereo headphones like yours, but it's worth a shot.
Slamming_Sammy: With BlueMusic I can pipe stuff from TCPMP to bluetooth headset - which supports only handsfree - just fine, whilst still not missing a call. BlueMusic emulates the A2DP protocol so your phone doesn't have to. There's actually a free binary out there called BTAudio (which Bluemusic is based on), but its less stable than Bluemusic when it comes to disconnects and receiving calls.
Oh, and by the way, the Atom does support Wireless Stereo (A2DP). However, you can ONLY see it if your bluetooth headset has the profile as well (mine doesn't by the way). AFAIK only stereo headsets have this; even the newest BT2.0 mono headsets don't.
thanks a lot Ultimate. I was just about to try btaudio which by the way, works great, so I won't try bluemusic yet. so you're saying if my BT headphone is A2DP capable then I wouldn't need to run btaudio to route audio to my headset?
thanks.
Yes, that's what I'm saying.
Bluetooth stereo headsets are expensive, tho, AND the Atom is known to have dodgy A2DP support (except with BT2.0 devices), so you might want to hold out on the purchase.

audio on phone n headset application

I would want/need an application w/c has a profile capability that will allow audios(call, microphone, mp3) to be redirected to both the wired earphone and at the same time spearphone or the phone itself, while the wired earphone is still plugged in. The audio needs to come out or the sound should come out on both the wired earphone and phone or speakerphone. I need this while driving and my wife needs to hear the message from the party being called or called upon. Or if I'm listening to a good music on my wired headset only, but later on would like to share it to everybody while driving again. I need to be able to toggle it easily. I've seen phoneweaver and phonealarm but these two does not fit the need describe above. If there is none existing, can somebody create this very simple app for my need? I'm willing to donate if ever. Btw, my unit is an O2 Xda Atom and I got this idea from the build in FM radio build in application that has this button w/c allows audio on both wired headset and phone. It does not work on calls and turning the radio always on drains the battery. And the wired headset acts as the antenna. Thanks in advance.

Bluetooth Audio over car kit

Not sure if this is the correct place to post this
I have just upgraded from a kaiser to the HD2. I have a Bury take and talk car kit installed so have replace the Kaiser cradle with the Universal Bluetooth cradle. The phone pairs ok, the volume is low over the car speakers but this was the same for the kaiser and I have found that bury sell an amplifier to boost the volume. So far so good.
My question now is is there any way for routing music and gps instructions over the bluetooth connection. Registry hack, app or whatever. I cant see that it cant be done. I have read bits on other threads / forums about routing to Bluetooth headsets, and im thinking this is similar.
Anyone got any good ideas? I havent installed or messed with much yet so am willing to try stuff and hard reset if required
If the carkit doubles as a bluetooth headset and no more, it will only support the protocol which enables you to place calls with the carkit, and route the audio and mic for the call over bluetooth. If you want an audio connection, be sure your carkit allows for an A2DP connection - then you will get music and possibly also voice streams via bluetooth out of your car speakers.

Bluetooth & Earphones??

Is there anyway to connect a handsfree kit to the phone via bluetooth (for my car) but still play the music etc through the earphone plug (again to go to the aux on the car as it doesnt support bluetooth side just the phone)
I have tried but everytime it connects bluetooth it cuts off the earphone!
go into your BT settings on your phone, for that car kit. There might be an option for BT headphone as well as hands free.
Turn off the headphone option.
