I found this file a couple of days ago in another forum under xda-developers.com. I can't remember exactly which one so I'm posting the file here for anyone that needs it because I can't find the link I downloaded it from.
There are three files in the btaudio.zip archive. BTAudioOff.exe, BTAudioOn.exe and BTAudioToggle.exe. If I read correctly BTAudioToggle.exe works as a stand alone file. Just save it anywhere, create a shortcut or map a button to it and you're done. It'll basically toggle the BTAudio on or off. Pretty simple. The other two files are self explanatory, one turns on the feature and one turns it off. I tested it today while watching a movie on my XDA. Works pretty nicely and I've found no bugs yet.
This works perfectly with my Jawbone. Yes, it will probably drain the battery on the headset but I only use it in temporary circumstances.
Hope this is useful to someone else.
the hp ipaq 6965 which i had before the x7500 had this feature built in, i'm wondering if windows mobile 6 will have it as well,
also, i tried this program and once you tap the answer button on your headset the audio goes back to the phone
Thanks for the heads up. I'll know to toggle it back on or turn it down.
it doesn't work when there is a call ..I mean it auto switch off and then no sound from BT..this app has been around for an year but practically no use..
Another tool
Hi,
you can use btIO for the same. It's a tray app so there is no need of shortcuts for on/off/toggle.

Perfect for my needs - just received a set of Sony DR-BT30Q Stereo headphones from ebay and they work perfectly with this.
Doesn't stereo headsets (A2DP) work without the bluetooth audio gateway? At least mine do...

Hi c0rnholio. Nice application, thanks.
I only have one problem though, whilst I can activate audio2bt successfully and I can hear music via my ordinary BT earpiece, it also automatically invokes my voice calling software thus switching the audio2bt immediately off.
Any ideas how to overcome this?

Well, if you don't use the built-in voicespeeddial then it's pretty easy.
Just set: HKLM\software\oem\voicecommand\launchappenable to 0
MS-VoiceCommand will still work after this reg-change.
If you do use the built-in app then I have no idea.

Thanks for that cOrnholio. I'll apply the reg change and get me a copy of MS Voice Command (everyone says its crap anyway, so it's time to upgrade ). Thanks again.

Looks awesome! Thanks.
I tried. Looks good.
What is AudioGWCC ON/OFF?
The problem is with the scenario: I switched audio to headset, listen to music, incoming call, I pick up, music paused (Mort player), I hung up, music starts again, but it switched back to the device.
Any idea?

AudioGWCC is the Switch for the Audio Gateway Control Channel. I've put it in because of some headsets required to explicitly establish the control channel first (from what I've seen). The behaviour you described is normal. The device closes the control channel after a call is finished. I don't know if there is a way to deactivate or to circumvent it.

oh men, this is really one of the most important tools what you can download and install it on the Ameo.
I couldn't say how much do I have to tell you : thank you.
BTIO together with WifiIO are the perfect combination to manage complete BT and also WiFi from today screen.
And it's freeware too. absolut perfect.
Gentlemen,
I am sorry to bother with the same topic, looks like all are happy with BtIO and similar utilites...
I have a problem that drives me crazy...
I am listen to audio books (using Mortplayer) a lot, the problem with incoming calls:
1. Switch audio to headset, sound plays in headset. Perfect.
2. Incoming call:
.........Device is switching sound to a loudspeaker
.........I hear 0.5 sec of loud sound comming from a device
.........Audio playback is paused
.........Ringtone plays from loudspeaker
3. I pick up the call using headset button
.........Audio switched back to headset
.........I can hear some ringtone sound for 0.5 sec
.........Phone conversation
4. I hung up using Phone button or headset button or another party hung ups
.........Audio playback resumed
.........Audio switched to loudspeaker
5. I have to act quickly to switch audio back to headset by pressing button. This is very annoying
I tried utilities:
acbToggleBT-0.8.cab
BTAudio_PPC.ARMV4.CAB
btaudiocf1.cab
btaudiotoday.cab
btIO-0.5.CAB
bluemusic 2.0.[desktop].exe
BlueMusic looks the best, still it can't detect the scenario (5)...
Looks like I am missing something... This problem looks a very basic for me and I believe should be already solved...
Please help!
Also, I don't see a practical value of utilities above... I can svitch Audio to BT and back just by clicking the button on a headset. (I desabled the Voice comander)
Regards,
Dimitriy
I haven't found a program fix that will resolve the issue yet. I love the utility and use it knowing what to expect. Doesn't make it useless, just isn't 100% perfect for some users. For me it works perfectly. I'd rather it have one bug than it not work at all. Maybe one day they will update the program but for now it's great for my use. I just take an extra moment to pause manually what I was listening to when a call comes in or while i'm on the call so this doesn't happen to me. Especially if I'm at a client site.

I see your point. Can you explaine what exactly problem it is solving for you?
I can switch audo to BT and back by just clicking Send button on the headset. So what is the use of the utility?
hello poor guy me is the same i have tested all audio to bluetooth software and nothing work i have try the reshack on this site to put stereo to mono and nothing work i am disapointed the only solution i have is buy a stereo one because on the samsung i320 you have an option to use that kind of hardware.
if any person have a solution it was great
(sorry for my english)
With my headset (www.jawbone.com) if i click the button it activates audio to bt temporarily. It'll activate MS Voice Command then turn off. there are registry hacks that allow this to work differently but I prefer a utility to control it through. I havent been able to get audio to bt like many other users. I can watch movies, listen to my Corelayer, audiobooks, voicemail though email, etc in private. My device, HTC Advantage/x7500 can't do this by default. Maybe your headset allows these featured while mine doesn't. My headset is not meant to be used as an always on audio device so I need these utilities.

Well, I am using the LG HBM-700, it has a numerical keypad and OLED display, so it is very handy with X7500 - I can keep X7500 in a bag while using it as a phone.

I tested several BT hansets and all alows to switch audio to BT and back with the Snd button. You need to disable Voice Commander:
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\VoiceCommand\LaunchAPEnable" set to 0
What I can't blieve, that so basic problem is not solved. People on XDA using WM devices for years... Using BT for music and phone functions is a basics...
Any ideas?
I found a thread where someone else asked this question but it was a few months ago and they didn't really get a good answer. I just bought a Motorola bluetooth speaker phone because it was on a wicked sale from newegg and I was hoping it would be a better car solution than the little battery operated speaker I picked up. While the bluetooth device seems to work well for calls it doesn't route the turn-by-turn audio from google navigation through it. It also doesn't seem to trigger the google voice search/dial/command app you get when you long press the search button. Is there a fix for any of these problems? Probably my own dumb fault for not researching it first.
Thanks.
I think I have the same speaker you do. Is it the T505? I never tried Google navigation because 1.5 is more stable than 2.1 for me so I switched back. However I have tried Sprint Navigation and it does turn by turn perfectly.
It works over BT but it goes through the A2DP (stereo) profile, not the HSP (headset). From your description of voice search, I'd guess if doesn't support HFP (handsfree). Search Wikipedia for "bluetooth profiles" for more info. Best thing I ever did was to get a bluetooth enabled stereo receiver for my car -- works flawlessly for both streaming audio and handsfree.
Its the Motorola T215. According to the manual it supports handsfree and headset profiles. When I pair it with the phone it appears to use the headset profile. I guess its not a huge issue since the phone still does a pretty good job of picking up voice commands on its own if I long press the search button. And I can hear the navigation cues alright thru the phone speaker. Thought maybe one of the clever coders on this board might come up with an app or a mod to make this work.
I have searched and searched and I am actually currently waiting two new Jabra Extreme2 headsets from Jabra.... but I don't have a lot of faith that the problem will be solved.
The scenario is simple.. Calling and listening to music is fine. The issue is on incoming calls, and only MOST of the time.
If the headset is on and connected (bluetooth) the ringtone will start to stutter and the announcement in the headset will be "call from " and a number instead of the actual name in the contact list. At this point the phone will be frozen. The call will roll to voicemail. The only way to shut the headphone up from repeating the number continuously is to turn it off. Once the headset is off, you can usually get to the pulldown and turn off bluetooth. It will take awhile (minute or two) to release, but it will. At this point you can turn on the headset and turn on bluetooth again and make a call without issue. Maybe even receive a call... but about 8 out of 10 calls will result in the above.
My wife and I each have an Epic 4g and a Jabra Extreme2 headset. The issue is the same on both phones. We have older Jabra BT530 headsets that other than sounding like crap. (old bluetooth tech) work great, no issues.
I'm not convinced the issue is the headset. I mean really, there is no "software" for the headset. It's just a bluetooth connection, so why is the phone freezing? I tried different ringtones as I thought that might be the issue, but it isn't.
Does anyone have any thoughts or insight, or any idea if it could actually be the headset causing the phone to freeze.
Also, does anyone know how to disable the PBAB as that seems to be related but without being able to disable it, I can't confirm.
Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated. Anyone using the Extreme2 ?
Well, I have a Moto Finiti Bluetooth and I am not having any of the issues you mentioned so far. Thankfully its connecting better than earlier ROM releases on my Epic

so guys we go the google now working for our a500, but what we really need is to able to start and use google now from bluetooth headset so far ive managed to ause a bluetooth app to start google now when i press the button on the headset, but it still only listens from the tabs microphone,.
the beep and answer both get sent to the bluetooth headset i beleive from the "audio from phone ' music from phone" settings, but i cannot get it to listen from headset,.
it is abit strange because if you use the headset on a phone with s-voice you can activate and speak throught the headset mic as default? how we apply the s-voice settings to google now?
ive sent a message to civato as he's shown some interest in google now for flex-relix really hoping the a500 demi-god can help out with this lol:fingers-crossed:
im assuming from the 84 views since i went to work, are showing just how many people want this feature, lets make it happen. wish i knew more developing myself but i nearly got a brain tumor just setting up eclipse lol
When I have my bluetooth headset on and my phone rings I would like to have a options box come up giving me the choice of which to answer the call with, bluetooth headset or handset. When I get a call it automatically goes to headset if I have it on. I have been using a Iphone and this is the default. If there an app or fix I can use for this.
The phone also seems to jump back to the headset even though I am on the handset, any ideas?
This topic was in an earlier forum but there wasn't any resolution.

The call might go to bt headset, but you have always the option before answering the call to change from call options among phone speaker, bt headset and handset.

This doesn't seem to be the way my phone is working. When I have my bluetooth headset on but answer with my handset it doesn't give me an option, it just always goes to headset. After I press the green answer button I have to press the icon at the bottom to choose handset every time.
I am having this issue with my Plantronics and Sennheiser headsets.
This isn't an issue with a bluetooth device I have my home phones hooked up to, goes to my handset when I answer with my handset.

Could anyone point me towards a way of flashing an older bluetooth radio to my phone, if thats even possible.
