Atom's Bluetooth Functionalities

I have upgraded my ROM to the latest official one, but still I can't make my ITech's PowBOX bluetooth HeadSet to work as Wireless Stereo. It only works as Hands Free. I tried my HeadSet on Nokia and did works as headset flawlessly. I also cannot activate my voice speed dial via bluetooth on my Atom. The bluetooth button just activate redialling last called number. Is there anything I need to configure to make this work? Please help. Thank you.

Anyone, please?

I use the iTech S35 and STEREO works like a charm with the Atom. I get stereo mp3 and movies. The handsfree works too although the voice dial doesn't cos the long press to activate the voice dial uses the button to turn the iTech on and off so u will end up turning the iTech off.
not heard of the iTech powBOX so dun know how it compares but I assume it should work too.

i think it used to work in older ROM version... could it be the new ROM?

I use Samsung Bluetooth SBH100 as a stereo headset with Atom (latest ROM) - got no problems. Headset's remote control buttons for audio player works too. Short press of Phone button make a redial. 4 sec press should activate voice dail (on 'supported devices'), but make nothing (common problem).

can the SBH100 play radio?

Don't think so as Atom requires the ear piece to be plugin as antenna...

I am using Bluetake Iphono BT stereo headset on Atom. It can listen to the music and act as handsfree for calls seperately but couldn't do both at the same time, the headset will switch off whenever there is incoming call while playing music, i guess there's some problem on switching btw.
Anyone got the same problem??

can't listen to music but can make calls
Hi,
I'm kind of new here, as I just bought a used atom from that e*** auction site. it works great, except i can't get my bluetooth headset to work as a headphone while listening to podcast, mp3's, etc. using my BT headset to make calls works fine. I have both a Jabra BT130 and BT350 and both have this problem. is it the headset? if so, is there a list somewhere that lists what BT headset is compatible? i really need it to work as I cannot stand using wired headsets since by the time i untangle those wires, I'm out of time already...
thanks a lot!

It's the New Rom..(i think)

the problem comes with the new rom i think.. i had a bluetooth headset that worked perfectly before i uograded to the new Roms released by O2 itself.. i emailed them about the problem but they insist that nothing is wrong with the ROMs they made...

Possible to send all audio over bluetooth?

I've spent days searching and trying all sorts of tweaks but I can't get anything to work. Can anyone PLEASE help!
I use Tomtom 7 and I've always sent the voice instructions to the bluetooth speaker in my bike helmet (just a handsfree paired item). I've previously done this on HTC devices with BTAudio and a one line registry tweak. Can anyone offer a solution to send all the audio to a bluetooth handsfree on the HD2?
I really hope someone can help, I've got the HD2 setup just right except for this last remaining item.
Many thanks,

i have the same problem...
@noony i think u have already enabled in bt setting the option "manage system audio in handsfree device" if u didnt...try that
for me doesnt work maybe its a headphone problem i see a sort of "fhhh" when any sound is played on phone but still come out from the speeker
another issue... every time i start a call with bt the volume is at the lower level..internal and headphone too! and the last is very strange because with my artemis didnt do

Yes I've tried the "manage system audio in handsfree device" option. I can get some background noise on the headsets (I'm trying with a Scala Rider and Motorola 700 & 850) but I never manage to get any sound.
Can anyone please offer a solution? It's a big disappointment for me if this isn't possible. Any suggestions welcome, many thanks.

My Observations
I pared it with my BMW and for the life of me cant ger any audio (music) over bluetooth ( the phone works fine) I then tried it on a $20 bluetooth earpiece I ocassionally use for the phone and guess what I can play music over it fine.
I tried and tried again in the car but could not get it to work.
I think some bluetooth devices will not work. Is there a different specifiaation for bluetooth ir BT1 and BT2 ??
I havent checked into this yet.....

It gives me some hope that you've got it to work with one bluetooth device. Can you please let me know exactly what you did to get the $20 bluetooth earpiece to work?
Thanks,

yeah that was my idea but without a stereo bt device i cant try to myself...i ordered to vodafone one with some of my tons of points...3 weeks and no answer!

I had the same issue and on my old phone, the HTC Touch HD, I used the following program to my satisfaction:
BTAudio
On my HTC HD2 however this doesn't seem to work anymore. :-(

it does the same thing of the inbuild bt option on hd2 its just a "quick link" to place on the bar
anyone of u have any problem with bt device volume? before i have an Artemis and 3 different device i used the device volume was every time the one i choose...now every time a new call starts phone volume its right but device volume jump to minimum level and every time i have to press + button like as i'm playing videopoker to dont miss fist seconds of a conversation

Works fine with Jabra 3030, all audio over it, music, system sounds and calls.

Maybe it's only working for bluetooth devices that are setup as stereo. Can anyone please offer a solution here?

I've installed a 6.5 rom (dutty v7 - thank you) on my HD and after a sprite restore (level 2) bluetooth audio divert works fine. Although I notived that the bluetooth options remained the old settings (possibly due to my backup restore) and the divert was done using the BTAudio. Sorry to keep asking but if anyone can shed light on this.
Is it possible to tweak the HD2 so that audio can be sent to any bluetooth headset/handsfree or is there some hardware limitation that stops this from being done?
I've tried every app and tweak that I can think of! Please can anyone help, even iof it's to let me know why this can't be done.
Thanks,

its what we all are trying to do......now i think its only a bt device problem...if it support bt2.1 and a2dp with edr seems to work all good....
i solved in car with headphone in the box...but bluetooth should be much and much better without any cable that always have to remove nodes (its the right word? sorry if not hehe)

I'm connecting to my HD2 using Jabra Stone, an A2DP headset. When I selected the stereo headset profile on the HD2, it redirected all system sounds to the headset: reminders, SMS alert, soundtrack for videos, audio player....except phone ring. I used BT Audio over a non-A2DP headset before with Diamond2, but the ausio is very poor, and the connection drops very often. Since I changed to A2DP headsets, the Diamond2 and HD2 supports it out of the box - no hack needed.
So look for A2DP headsets if you want to redirect audio.

Thank you to everyone that has helped with replies. I've now got my answer. If the bluetooth device supports A2DP then it works! (just won't work with mono etc)
I've now tested my HD2 with over a dozen bluetooth devices ALL A2DP enabled headsets regardless of if they are cheap or expensive!
Thanks again for everyone taking the time to help.

I have an LG HBM-220 bluetooth and cannot put audio to in, only phone calls!
How can i manage to do it?

I blame it on the stupid Widcomm Bluetooth stack... If the HD2 used the better MS stack, BT would play nice with with more of our periphirals and apps
I can't use MSVC properly with BT either....

the solution is to go to the bluetooth settings, select your device and connect the stereo audio connection.

Way back, Microsoft decreed that ONLY the phone app could use a mono BlueTooth headset, although any audio could be redirected to a stereo A2DP headset.
In order to get around this you need to fudge the sytem with something like BTAudio or TekSoft's BlueAudio.
The latter worked on my XDA Orbits (1 and 2) but does not work on my Touch HD with Dutty's R6 ROM (WM 6.5) possibly because BlueAudio requires the Microsoft BlueTooth stack and I suspect Dutty's ROM has the Widcomm stack. But I could be wrong about that.
BTAudio sort of works on my Touch HD, but outgoing audio is speeded up like I've been breathing Helium.
So no current solution to yet another idiotic gotcha from Microsoft.

Hmmm. When I conect via gprs to youtube aps I can hear the voice in my mono headset (jabra 2020) but via wifi and computer as modem voice is only in phone speaker. So maybe we should look gprs or youtube aps reg tweek.

Guys
i have a nokia HB-100 headset and i'm experiencing all kinds of strange behavours
sometimes system sounds including music ...etc get directed to the headset and some other time it just directs calls no matter how hard i try thru soft resets or unchecking then checking the "play system sounds ..." option!
very strange, any insights about this? is there a tweak to go with or is it a known WM defect?

Re: Can not Listen "music" thro Bluetooth..but can make/receive call
Are you using a custom ROM if so could be that A2DP is missing from the ROM this is a problem with a lot of custom.

I had the same problem as you this morning. I managed to discover the reason. The headset was not set to connect to the media player on the phone. Just go to BT options and hold click on the headset button. Simply check the option to be connected to media.

Bro I dont get it much what are you saying ? ... However i have tried using Nokia Bluetooth stereo headset BH-214, Nokia BH-503 Bluetooth Stereo & such as from Sony. but its just not working .. But my friend He use nokia Nokia 5610 XpressMusic. He can listen music very well though above headsets ..

It have just Call , Pause, next, back and On/off button ... what should i do ? By the way Thanks A Lot bro for quick reply ..

If you go to the Bluetooth options of the phone, where you can see your paired headset, touch long on the headset and select options. There it might be possible to enable something like a media profile besides the phone profile.

OKay got it bro u means when i connect headset though my mobile then there in BT Option i can see my paired device something like your mobile is connected to Bluethooth..
Ex. Nokia Bluetooth stereo headset BH-214 suppose it shows there in BT Option then i press on Nokia Bluetooth stereo headset BH-214 and it will start pairing and later it will be paired to that device so i long press on Nokia Bluetooth stereo headset BH-214 ? and i can see option or something like that is it ? then i 'll try that Thanks but bro i don't think so because if i do that then pair will be disconnected i think but i will try that Thanks A Lot...

ok, so elmicha better explained what it was i wanted to say. I forgot to mention all of what I was saying was to be done in the options menu on the phone. When going into the Bluetooth options in the phone's settings, you should see the Scan for device option. If you have not already paired the headset with the phone, scan for it and pair. After getting it paired, long touch the headset line in the list below the "Scan for device" button. A menu should appear. Choose Options and make sure the Phone and Media profiles are both selected. The Media profile was not selected in my case and the music would not play through the headset.

Please Help Guys ...

Guys any one Had this Problem ? Please Help Me Out I'll Be Very Thankful

i've had what appears to be the same problem since i bought the hero last september - streaming to car stereo as opposed to headset. previous 4 phones worked with the stereo as they should
with the stock rom it would only connect to stereo using a phone profile (no media option available). it's definitely a compatibility issue with the particular stereo as the hero streams to a bluetooth home theatre thingy that i have without fault.
solution: villainRom 6.2 - i tried a legend in the car and it worked fine on the stock rom. so i assumed if i rooted and flashed a 2.1 rom, it would do the job.. . .wrong, after a couple of painstaking months of messing about with multiple 2.1 roms that didn't work properly, 2 days ago i said i'd give villain another try as they have a new version available. now a2dp on my hero works properly - just a shame the phone is now a bit slow
give it a try

Thanks Bro.. i 'll try it

Use Jawbone Bluetooth to listen to music???

I was wondering if there was a way to make my EVO play music through my Jawbone Bluetooth headset? I like to listen to Pandora Radio and it would be nice to get it to play though my headset!
Thanks!

I have no problem listening to Slacker radio through my Jawbone Icon. I installed the Jawbone A2DP upgrade.

I have the icon as well but cant figure it out! Do I need to install something on the EVO?

Nevermind, I got it working after going to the Jawbone site and doing the update... Works pretty good and has great sound!

evo doesn't work with icon
I have an evo and a new jawbone icon with updated A2DP installed, but can't get it to play music over the icon unless I'm engaged in a phone conversation. How can I get it to play? I have re-booted and re-paired it many times. I found another post complaining of the same thing. Did you actually get it to play over the icon from an evo? email me with instructions. Jawbone tech support was not able to help because they had not tested it on an evo.

I don't have the icon myself, but if applying the A2DP update makes it the same as any other A2DP headset, you might want to go to settings > wireless & networks > bluetooth settings, then go down to bluetooth devices and hold down the entry for the icon, then select options. If its like any other A2DP headset there should be checkboxes for Phone as well as audio, as phone calls and A2DP are different streams and updating the icon to include A2DP after you've already paired may not have refreshed the available services that are seen by the phone.

Yes, I am using the Icon and Evo to listen to Pandora. Make sure to delete your current paired Icon. When it repairs it shoud show it as a actual headphone headset symbol on the phone instead of the ear piece only. Once connected it should automatically play through the Icon. If not I would retry updating the A2DP, perhaps it didnt work...

Thanks for Jawbone A2DP Info
I'm still using Hero but linger on EVO forum, happy I did for the jawbone update!

how do you switch between the music coming out of the bluetooth and the speaker with the Bluetooth connected?

You can't... You have to turn off bluetooth before the speakers will work.

Great suggestion... thank you. I un-paired the icon, then re-installed the A2DP software, re-paired it, and it worked! It must not have properly installed the first time. Thanks for you help!

Thanks for the suggestion. I re-installed the A2DP software and then it worked.

streaming music over BT and A2DP

i seem to get handsfree phone only when i connect the omnia 7 to my FMT300 BT handsfree car kit. I cannot stream music !
the FMT300 works fine with my BB Torch and HTC Desire
is this to normal?

Handsfree Device is the only Bluetooth profile supported by WP7 currently.

thx for your reply, and what a big disappointment.
so why do they post it in the specs if it doesnt work ?

Done! I turned on Bluetooth and my headpones appeared instantly (as "headset"). Connected fine. I can play music through my Bluetooth headphones - tried using a marketplace sample as I don't store music on my phone.

@CreepinJesus,
thx for giving this a try, this made me give it a go at my older Parrot PMK5800 kit and guess what, the Omnia 7 was happy to pair and play music with this kit.
"can't have it all" i guess, but at least it proves a2dp over bt could work
cheers

Perhaps it only allows music playack over headphone devices and not hands-free kits? I don't have a hands-free thing to test it with.

I've been able to play music through A2DP to my Sony Ericcson MW600 headset no problem. A2DP is definitely supported by Windows Phone 7.
There is however, an issue with video. Video sound still comes out of the phone speaker, and is not sent over Bluetooth. It's an issue with WP7, not the phone and hopefully will be fixed in an update.

I can stream music over my Motorola T505 car speakerphone just fine

Enclosed the reply from the supplier (Technaxx):
"The music stereo streaming depends on the mobile phone functions.
Check if your mobile phone can be connected with the transmitter over the A2DP protocol.
(Some phones need to be connected with 2 separate BT profiles: BT Headset and A2DP)"
no clue what this all means.
As far as I can see the Omnia does not allow for any settings, right?
it just connects and one hopes it works
this apposed to my BB Torch where i can set different kinds of connections, the Omnia has no settings at all.

A2DP is the profile it needs to use for music. I think your headset is connecting only with the headset profile, so it cann't play music.
I'm not sure if you can set profiles... If you can, somehow, you need to set your headset to use A2DP, then you will be able to play music through it.

Thx for your reply.
The thing is the "headset" is an FM carkit and A2DP works fine when i connect any of my other phones (Palm Pre, Palm Plus, BB Torch and HTC Desire). In all these cases i get both handsfree phone and music streaming. No special settings needed. These phones also all allow me to change the type of connection from within the phone afterwards.
None of that when i connect the Omnia 7. Al i get is handsfree phone calls (a handsfree connected confirmation window pops up). No other connections ...
So i really think it is an Omnia 7 "absence of settings" compatibility problem. There are no settings available in the phone.
I am using my BB Torch at the moment also because market is not available in the Netherlands ...... not much fun with this phone

dont know what happened but i gave it another try today and now it seems to be working.
unbelievable ...
the thing is you still do not get to see the profiles that have been set but it works ..
thanks everybody for the support ...
