I have HTC Diamond with WM6.5 and a bluetooth headset with remote control. I want to exchange prev/next buttons function. (i used WMPlayer) Please help me
I looked once for something like this. I actually wanted to change it so when I pressed one of my handfree buttons it did something totally different. Never found anything that could do it. I suspect that it would be rather complicated to do. You'd probably have to re-write the BT driver.

does anyone knows if it is possible to transfer an ongoing call from the handset to the bluetooth headset ?
thanks
this depends on the headset itself ... for ex, on my BlueTrek G2 if I pressed its on/off button for 2 sec the call will be transfered to the headset.
Sure, just press the "answer" button on your headset. You have to have BT headset enabled on the XDA, of course. I think you might have to have it enabled before the call starts, not sure.
Thank you Carlos, it worked I have an HBH-200 (sony-ericsson)
and thank you Biso007
Great
by the way do you knwo any soft that allows me to use my PC keyboard to write SMS and being able to send-them through the Qtec installed on its dock ?
thanks
I believe there is but I can't remember where ... I use MS remote control s/w to have the XDA display on the PC screen ... now you can use the mouse and keyboard normally ... unless you mean to send programable SMSs
being able to use the mouse and keyboard to write on my Qtec an SMS is enough, you said MS remote control , I can't find it. do you have a link where I can check on this product ?
many thanks
If you haven't already, everyone should look through pocketpc.com for useful software for the PPC. That's where you'll find the remote control software. I use Pocket Controller Pro, which is not free, but has a lot of nice features. Well worth it.
many thanks Carlo. I'll have a look.
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?!
I have a Vario II with Skype installed.
I realise that Skype recommends that you use the supplied headset when using the product for calling (rather than the speakerphone) but I was wondering if I can use my Bluetooth headset instead of the wired headset?
Bluetooth works fine with ordinary phone calls so I sort of expected it to work with Skype (doesn't the phone just see a Bluetooth headset as a standard headset once a partnership has been established?) - but it doesn't appear to work.
Am I missing something or does Skype for Pocket PC not support Bluetooth? And, if not, why not?
Skype probably doesn't use BT Headset profile. They probably should. But look at how long it took MS to make Voice Command work with BT and on our phones it didn't even work. I bet A2DP stereo headsets would work since it is an audio sending profile and not related to calls but you wouldn't be able to use the MIC except for the one on the phone. This might be enough functionality someone could try if they haven't already. However, there is the utility that someone wrote for the Samsung SCH-i730 that redirect all audio to the BT headset. There is no reason it shouldn't work on any PPC that uses the Microsoft BT stack. So try it out and see if it works.

You need to create shortcuts to the toggle executable to make it easy to use.
There is a reg entry that will allow you to patch all sound to a BT headset.
HKLM\Software\OEM\VoiceCommand
LaunchAPEnable should be 0 instead of 1. Once done the headset hardware button will be remapped to connect to the device instead of launching voice command.
You will still be able to press the button to answer calls, it just won't initiate voice dial for new calls.
I would suggest one of those small freeware that allow to remap the hardware button (my button right softw key's been remapped to display a full program menu, that includes the voice command). I'm using a program called New Menu for Windows Mobile 5.
Hope this will help,
Sam
Can anyone share if they have any other methods to use BT with skype?

sorry for the bump... but if this can somehow work it would be a godsend... any ideas oh wise ones?
read my previous post.
To toggle Audio to A2DP you might want to see:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1485391#post1485391
It's an easy way of switching audio to the headset and back to the device. This is for A2DP only.
hey guys,i was hoping for a different thing..is it possible to change the sound from the loudspeaker to the small speaker?? like using a real phone instead of using earphones..i dont have any earphones or bt headsets for the moment so i was hoping that someone can help me out here..its annoying if ur using skype while other people can hear the person you are talking to..
p/s:i've search everywhere including this forum,but still no solution..
No. Apparently it's a flaw in WM: it doesn't give apps access to the phone speaker.
that's a shame..hope microsoft will consider this for their future product

Try www.Fring.com it has the Skype, MSN, ICQ in there they're all work with the bluetooth. (check the setting after the installation to allow bluetooth 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.
Hi,
I am planning to get the Sony DS980 to pair with the Kaiser.
I understand that there are some issues with the volume on some BT headsets paired with the Kaiser. Is this an issue with the Sony DS980?
Secondly, someone on cingular or howard forums suggested that the volume improved when they changed their phone's band from Auto to GSM (under phone settings), suggesting that there might be some interference from the 3G stack. Anyone else noticed this?
thanks very much, MN
I picked up, just yesterday, a DS-970. Volume is fine, but I use phoneAlarm to control my profiles and it has an option to boost the volume.

I'm using DS-970 and volume is just fine without using any sound volume boosting software. I think it even louder than on my previous Hermes.
I use DS980 with my Kaiser (HTC TyTN II) with no problem whatsoever. It seems to pair better with Kaiser than Hermes.
It is able to read incoming call as well as call history from Kaiser without the need to install the Jetware HF extension (which is required for Hermes).
Voice dialing with the build in cyberon software also works great.
Regarding the volume, it is as loud as it is supposed to be. In fact, when set to max, it is too loud for me. I need to reduce the headset volume to make it comfortable.
All devices paired to this Headset will have their BT names shown on the LCD. Thus you can easily check how many devices have been paired with it. Moreover, you can easily switch the connection to the device of your choice. You don't have this feature in the DS970 model.
anyone able to make the DS980 phonebook feature work with Kaiser?
I bought one of these yesterday and sound quality is really good, it can control the HTC music plugin great but you do not get the the song/track name info on the display.
I installed the Jetware software to see what this added and the time from my Kaiser is now displayed on the DS980 display but still cannot access the phonebook
HA! I can't believe my eyes but after like 3 weeks having DS980s' i'we been trying to get the phonebook working with my elf having no succes. And now, i switch my Touch on after a trip through public transport and lol - theres a dialog window asking, if i want to allow access to my phonebook contacts, i press yes, pull out my handsfree and there's complete alfabetical list with all contacts in my phone. And i have no f*ckin idea, how the hell it did itself i tried like everything before and it starts working on it's own OMG anyway, i'm happy
