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.

InnoDock owners: "speakerphone" question...

For all of you guys that have the standard InnoDock with the 3.5mm audio-out jack on it (*NOT* the InnoDock Jr.):
I understand that as long as you have external speakers connected to it this can be used as a superior alternative to the Tilt / Tytn II / Kaiser built-in speakerphone because it has a microphone built into the cradle. I want to know for sure before I buy it.
True?
If so, how does it compare to the phone's standard speakerphone option? (Same, better, worse? How so?)
& lastly, if you have a bluetooth headset paired up to it, receive an incoming call, & then accept the incoming call from the bluetooth headset, will the call go straight to the bluetooth headset with no hiccups or complications?

[Q] A2DP Bluetooth headset microphone

I have connected an A2DP platronics bluetooth headset to my WM6.5 device. I then set the Stereo profile.
All the sound played is routed to the headsets speaker fine.
My tests confirmed that the microphone works fine in phone calls made with the device. However, the microphone is not seen as a Windows microphone.
So using sound recorder and other voice applications are not using the headsets microphone but are use the handsets one.
Can this issue be resolved?

[Q] ar Bluetooth and S Voice

So, I received my new S4, and paired it with my car Bluetooth. I found the setting in locations to tell the phone when I am connected to this Bluetooth, I am in the car. Great! When it connects to the Bluetooth, it initialises S voice, so it can be controlled with voice. That is when the problem begins....To use the voice feature, the phone needs to hear my voice, but because it is connected to the car Bluetooth, the phone mic is off, waiting for input from the car mic. But you cannot access the car mic unless a call is being made! Any ideas anyone??? Please?:crying:

S4 and Audi MMI 2G bluetooth

Hello.
I have bought my new Galaxy S4 and I have some problems using it in my car.
My car is Audi A4 equipped with MMI 2G, vocal commands and bluetooth hands free.
If I connect my phone with my car, all is ok (calling and receiving calls, phonebook transfer and I can still use my car's vocal commands.
I am not able to use S-Voice Drive.
If I start car mode on the phone, s-drive automatically fire up when bluetooth connected but it still use my phone mic and speaker.
How can I solve? Someone has the same car/system?
My system does not support A2DP....
Thank you.
Chris

Are you sure your expectations are right? I have S4 and MMI 3G and S-Voice doesn't transfer to the car speakers. It didn't occur to me that it might/should, all I expected was hands-free function for phone calls and the ability to dial from the car's MMI interface system.
The Bluetooth profile in the pairing settings on the phone is "call audio" only. There is no "media audio" so I'm guessing the only function supported is to handle the phone audio.
Have you seen something suggesting that audio output other than calls should transfer via bluetooth to the car speakers?

No, nothing, but I would like to have it to the car speakers and mic.
I tried a different bluetooth mono router software but no luck.
I hope someone has solved this with some kind of thirdy party software...

I'm not a techie, but I am guessing that the functionality is limited by the bluetooth profiles supported by the paired devices. If Audi have loaded only the call audio in the MMI software then that is all the car can do.
It looks like you can get after-market A2DP hardware installations (this is a MMI 3G solution, for example). That might enable audio streaming from your phone via Bluetooth, but whether S-Voice would stream also I'm not sure. If I'm honest, I doubt it is possible.

I am experiencing same issue and weird thing is that if I connect IPhone 4S and run Google Navigation I hear navigation instructions in car's speakers but with Galaxy S4 I can't get it to work for navigation instructions.
