I'm looking for a way to progamatically set a bluetooth headset to use the wireless stereo profile using the .Net Compact Framework. I have contacted Peter Foot over at 32feet.net and he has added it to his wishlist for OpenNetCF. But in the meantime if anyone can help with this I would be appreciated.
I'm using the Toronado A2DP hack for my Apache and it works fairly well but everytime I turn on my headset, I have to go to the bluetooth settings and manually set it to use the wireless stereo profile. This is becoming quite dangerous while driving because it's not possible to do with the navigation keys (you must perform a press and hold).
On a completely different side note, if anyone knows how to perform a "press and hold" with the navigation keys, at least I may reduce my chances of wrecking my car.
Thanks - Mark.
The same thing happens with Jabra BT620s... I need to do the whole procedure which is quite long...
If anyone could make a simple click solution that would be great...!
A quick question: doesn't long pressing the play / pause button work?
No, it doesn't. The Play/Pause button acts like a single tap so it takes you to the edit screen.
I think I errored on my nomenclature. It's 'tap and hold', not 'press and hold', sorry.
Now, I'm a .Net developer so I need a managed code api to make this work for me, but if there are any CE Bluetooth wizards out there who could build a simple app where we enter and save the device name and you then set the device to use the wireless stereo profile, that would work too. I know there are lots of people who would love to be able to single click (or auto start) their bt stereo headsets. With this in mind, I actually have two different headsets that I switch back and forth so this app would need to handle multiple headsets (maybe just multiple instances of the app?).

No it doesn't. All we need to do is to simulate the action "Set As Wireless Stereo" through a program... Then with a simple click to set our headset as wireless stereo. I know it seems quite simple in my mind, but it isn't I guess...
SkierHiker I hope you can make it my friend...
I am having the same problem earlier but I had assigned a button to do the hold-tap and it had solved my problem since.
All you need to do is to go to the SETTINGS->BUTTONS and assign a button to "<CONTEXT MENU>" (I had assigned my START button to it).
Another way is to use a macro program called "SKSCHEMA" in which it would record the location where you need to do hold-tap and normal taps and then play back as a macro. A drawback is that the playback may not be accurate because it's based on time playback (tap here, wait for 3 seconds, tap there)There may be cases in which you are running some apps at the background thus causing your pocket pc to lag a bit.
I have the same issue with an i-tech s35 headset.
The setting of a button for context menu is a good idea but to be able to create a shortcut or better still have the headset default to wireless stereo would be great.
Hope someone can come up with something.
BT620s autoconnecting in wireless stereo!
I have applied the upgrade for the BT620s here http://www.jabra.com/JabraCMS/na/EN/Misc/Software620s and now the headset autoconnects and set itself as wireless stereo!
For anyone else with this problem try Mortscript. In the following thread there is a script which will perform the necessary mouse clicks automatically when your headset connects.

Thanks you so much!!!
It solved my problem....
didnt wanna create a new thread for this as its kinda connected to the BT320s.
Im wanting to buy a BT320s for my TyTN (ive applied all the various reg hacks to improve A2DP) is there a way i can test out my TyTN using my PC as the speakers???
Was hoping just trying to transmit A2DP to the pc would work?!
hi fellow 3g owners,
I wanted to ask if any of you has found away around 2 annoyances i have.
First. When i listen to music through my bluetooth headset and i need to use the internet the music stops playing when the 3g connection starts. i use the htc audio manager to play music. Is there any way around this?
Second. Is there an easier way to connect your bluetooth headset. i use the comm manager to turn on bluetooth, then go to bluetooth settings and long tap on the device to turn on the option "set wireless headset". especially that last bit annoys me cuz i like to use my fingers and its very difficult to long tap on the bluetoothdevice seen as it is so small.
with kind regards
I want to use my TD2 with my bluetooth handsfree set, but it starts the mediaplayer, everytime a connection was established. Is there a way to prevent windows mobile to start the mediaplayer in this szenario?
Tube
I have the same issue, but its when pairing with my car stereo (Bluetooth handfree), but it also start streaming music through the line1 connection to my car stereo !!!
Funny I always wanted to do this, but could not, so went the integrated Ipod route, now I can I don't bloody want it.
Anyway, so far no solution
Same story to me. Also issue's bluetooth. when i want to controll my phone with bluetooth, it starts mediaplayer automaticly.
Hello, does anyone have a solution for this problem? my girlfriend has the same problem.
Have you tried disabling the "wireless stereo" (A2DP) service? Go to Comms manager-Bluetooth-Advanced, then tap and hold on the offending item till the menu comes up, choose "edit", then uncheck "Wireless stereo", leaving just the handsfree profile checked.
I'm assuming you're not interested in the stereo music function, of course!
Already tried that, if you do that you lose BT to the car.
Odd as there are three connections:
- Hands free;
- Wireless stereo;
- Serial port.
Trying any combination aside from handsfree & wireless stereo on, results in losing BT via the car stereo

Have you tried pairing it again from scratch rather than modifying the existing profile? If you delete the car stereo from the list, and then re-pair them using the windows pairing dialogue (rather than the TF3D one) I think you get the chance to specify right from the start which profiles you want to use before you connect,if I remember right.
You might even need to delete the TD2's registration info in your car stereo, if possible, either through the menu of the stereo, or by registering another basic phone before trying the TD2 again. This would work if your car stereo can only store the details of one bluetooth device at a time.
As a last resort you could try disabling A2DP on the TD2 through the registry.
Bluetooth has come a long way, I remember when it was complete crap, now it usually goes smoothly, but every now and then the crap side shows up again and causes massive frustration. I've got a Parrot Party speaker, which when there's a break of more than 15 seconds or so in the music from the TD2, the connection lapses. It still looks like it's connected, on both units, but it's not. You have to turn the speaker off, close the music player app, then re-link both for it to work again. I'm sorry it's off-topic, just venting about the "crap side" of Bluetooth.

Thanks, i've tried every which way so far, but the problem remains, I found the only workaround is to remove any today or touchflo music tabs, at least that stops my TD2 steaming and drawing battery. Instead it opens windows media player, but i've purposely left that empty so at least nothing is being played (i.e. drawing power)
Bluetooth has come a long way, thats so funny you say that, I always wanted to be able to do this, but now my ipod is integrated into my car i don't.
Has anyone figured this out yet? Windows Media Player starts when connecting to the bluetooth factory fitted car kit when I don't want it to !
Is there a reg hack to stop Windows Media Player starting when the pairing takes place on the car's ignition?
Thanks!

Hi all,
Does anybody has tested the HD mini with a Bluetooth headset? More precisely, does the screen keep locked during and after a call answered through a Bluetooth device?
(This is not the case with my current HD2 and locking the hard keys prevents to answer calls from a bluetooth headset... this is not good at all. As the HD mini has different keys for End Call and for Power On/Off, its behavior may be different.)
Another one : aren't the bottom hard keys (which seems to be capacitive, as the screen digitizer, but are they?) too sensitive? Do they tend to end a call when speaking, the phone being held against the cheek?
Have a nice day!
I dunno about the bluetooth stuff as I dont have a headset.
With regards to the buttons, the device has a proximity sensor which turns off the screen and buttons when it's close to your face.

Thank you very much, that's a good point.
I have had my mini for 4 days now, first ever HTC and got to say very impressed. I was on a long run in the car yesterday and used the Bluetooth a few times, I have a Bluetooth headset in the car for streaming music and obviously hands free phone calls.
Il start with the music side; using the standard HTC music player I found that when being played the music would cut out (maybe once or twice) after first setting it up but then be seamless from that point. I have noticed though that when going back to use the Mini (car stationary of course) the music would begin to cut out again. I don’t know if this is the music player or the connection but this has just left me to resort to setting up a playlist then using the car headset to change tracks.
As for the phone, if you have it plugged into the cigarette lighter (very useful for charging without the phone being away from your side) it wont go into standby mode, although the first call i received I used the Mini’s answer button to answer which appeared to cut off the Bluetooth and answer the call as normal, not the best situation to be in when you are driving. The 2nd phone call i got i used the car headset answer button which kept the Bluetooth running.
The only other big issue is that every time I get into the car I have to manually setup the connection from my phone to the car headset, I don’t know if this is meant to be like this or I have missed a setting any advice in this area would be useful
Cheers
Thank you, Q22ube, for you input.
My usage of a bluetooth headset is quite different since, most of the time, I use the phone with a motorcycle helmet headset (Cardo Scala Rider G4) so the phone is in a pocket or in a bag, running on its own battery, and I have no physical access to the device while riding . For now, I am using a HTC HD2 (which is a very nice device but a little too big to use it one hand) and music streaming through Bluetooth A2DP is quite good. I also had to setup a playlist since, by default, the HTC Sence music player will use nearly all music tracks available on the device, including some system sound .

I don't known how works your headset (or car embedded Bluetooth system) but, most of the times you have to pair the audio device with the phone:
set the audio device in pairing mode (according to its user's manual);
go to the Bluetooth control panel of the phone;
from here, search for a new headset (e.g. click "add new headset");
when found, select the audio device and then follow the pairing procedure displayed on the phone screen;
usually, you have to enter a pairing code which should be found in the headset (or car) users's manual (most of the times it is 0000) or only click "OK".
Usually, this pairing procedure must be done only once. After that, provided Bluetooth is already turned on on the phone, you only have to switch on your headset (your car embedded audio system) and it will automatically connect to the phone. If the audio system is already on when you enter your car with your phone, you may have to switch it off and on again to start the bluetooth connection.
It is possible that your audio car system is always searching for known phones and then, the previous paragraph may not apply but I have no experience with such systems (only with some plain headsets).
One last point: please, do not leave Bluetooth in discoverable mode on your phone all the time and double check your Bluetooth security settings... Nobody should discover your phone if you don't want that and no unknown (malicious) device should be able to connect to it.
Cheers
Hi Q22ube and darthrider,
I've had my mini for one day only and found that the bluetooth device partnering is not "for life"
In my nokia formerly, I only needed to pair my gps with the phone once and that would be it! They never needed to be paired each and every time I wanted to use the two together like the mini does now.
I don't think that is normal ... Can you share with me your experiences? I use the GPS a great deal and is the main reason why I bought this phone (because it's the last wm phone and garmin's software only runs on wm and symbian) so it's irritating to have to go through so many steps every time I come back to the car.
Found the solution
Hello again,
After another good many hours of fiddling with the phone I discovered that the Bluetooth button that you find in the "Wireless Controls" tab under "Settings" brings you to "Comm Manager" which is actually a BTWizard.exe
What it should have been is "BTManager.exe" which you can find in Windows directory. This is the exe. file that allows you to launch and find paired devices automatically without needing to constantly repair.
I created a .lnk file in the Windows/Programs/ directory to BTManager.exe, put it into one of my quicklaunch panels and now I can switch on my BT, open the port and go straight into my Garmin programme without needing to repair my BT receiver.
Paired for life!
yes working fine

I did not notice the paring problem you described since I opened the Bluetooth Manager from "Sense Settings Tab > Menu > More > Bluetooth". This opens the true Bluetooth Manager and not the Bluetooth Wizard. Happily, you have found another solution.
I think that the Comm Manager should launch the Bluetooth Manager instead of the Bluetooth Wizard.

Hi guys!
So, the Xperia support A2DP just fine, also in combination with my car stereo (a Pioneer Avic D3BT set). However, I find that when I start playing audio (doesn't matter if this is music or satnav guidance) before I start the car (and hence the stereo set), not only will the audio not be re-routed to the stereo, but the phone also fails to connect with the A2DP part. Phone audio (headset profile) is connected OK, though.
Is this normal behaviour/has anyone seen the same behaviour?
Oh, and if anyone has a way of transferring contact to the phonebook of the car, I'd be delighted to hear about it. For me, it will immediately disconnect if I even attempt to transfer a phonebook item.
Hey Stampot. I have a Pioneer BROWSE system(BTB200) and I have the same problem. I find if I activate the phone bt after the car is on, A2DP connects fine. But if I do it the other way around,I only get phone audio. To fix I either have to disable/enable the phone bt or (the faster way) toggle the a2dp option. I'm hoping a de/firmware upgrades fixes the prob.

Its works better when u start the car first and that should not be a problem, shouldn't????
Its the same with every Bluetooth Headset. U can do it with the other way, but u must choose the Audioconnection in the Bluetoothsettings manually.
