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.

Bluetooth audio, but not to a headset...

Hi all,
I use a THB carkit integrated into my stereo. It uses usb connector to power the pda but bluetooth to trick the pda into thinking a headset is in use so calls are handled by the carkit. Aside the problem of bluetooth intermittantly turning off, is there a way to forward all audio (especially tomtom) to the "headset" carkit?
I've searched the forum and there is plenty of info on bluetooth headsets and how the button on them can be used to start audio via bluetooth, but the carkit doesn't use any buttons. I would be happy enough if there is an app to run whenever I want audio over bluetooth, anything really to sort this out.
Cheers all.

Anybody have any suggestions pleeease?

well sounds like your in a tight spot. I believe that all the audio programs use the button to initiate the audio transfer. Perhaps if you look at the reg edits for these programs you might be able to toggle it with some other input from the phone.....

There is a free program called BTAudio that you could try

tried that program but it relies on pressing the voicedial button on a headset which I don't have.

Using more than one BT headset doesn't work

I've got a BT stereo headset (HTC S100) and also BT in my car (Ford). I'm not trying to use them simultaneously (no point), I just want the headset to work properly when I'm using that and then when I get in my car I want the Tytn to connect to my car BT and to work properly with that. At the moment if I want to use my headset I have to go into BT settings and untick "Handsfree" for the car BT device and soft-reset, then I have to do some tinkering on the headset and make a phonecall before it will kick in and behave. Then when I want to use it in my car I have to DELETE the headset from my BT devices (unticking the boxes is not enough), check the "Handsfree" option under the Ford BT device and then soft-reset before it will work.
Why the hell can't the phone just use the headset properly when that's on and connected and then when I'm in the car use the Ford BT properly? Why does having two devices configured interfere with eachother when they're not actually being used simultaneously?!! It's ridiculous, I reckon it's the MS BT stack, what a load of $hite!
Any ideas what I can do? I've tried the JETware handsfree extension, has made no difference.

GPS sounds gone from speaker when using A2DP bluetooth headset

Hi all,
I have a HTC Touch HD and I am using both Destinator and NDriver navigation programs.
Recently, I purchased a bluetooth headset (HTC BH M300) which supports A2DP.
Now, in top bar icons, I have another icon displayed, indicating the ability to stream music. I have a problem though…
All my device sounds (except of the incoming calls of course) are now streamed to the headset. When I use the navigation programs, the voice with directions come trhough the headset and not the speaker (like when I was using a non A2DP headset).
This is annoying because I don’t like having to wear the headset at all times while driving. I need to hear to the driving directions through the speaker and talk with the headset when in a call.
Is there a way to solve this?

Go to start/settings/connection/bluetooth and on your a2dp bluetooth headset uncheck set as wireless stereo , to remain only set as headset device

Making my phone a bluetooth server

I am using Motorolla XT910 and I prefer to use the wired headset when I am driving over bluetooth headset. I sometimes have another mobile with me (nokia or blackberry), which is my company phone and it has bluetooth.
Now can i make my phone as a bluetooth server or receiver so that I can receive my signal from the other phone and talk via my wired headset??
Basically i dont like to use a multi-device bluetooth headset device, so I am trying to find an alternative.
