Motorola HT820 & Kaiser

Now that i have this beautiful headset, there is only one problem:
everytime i want to listen to music i have to erase the bluetooth profile, put the headset in pairing mode and enter 0000...
it takes time!
(well...just some seconds...but it's boring!!!)
is there a way to do an auto-pairing?

I have that one too - very happy with it so far, impressive battery life!
As for your issue, the pairing procedure has to be done once and the headset should be recognized automatically every time you turn it on, provided BT is on of course. Perhaps you're holding the headset button too long forcing it in pairing mode?

The problem I have is different.
I can pair them easily. Just on bluetooth on both sides and they work. Using Core Player and Windows Media Player was flawless.
But still I can't seem to be able to make/receive calls on my headphones.
I have both profiles selected in the bluetooth settings.
I tried disabling the stereo profile, and it still doesn't work with making/receiving calls.

I think I found the solution to my own problem.
I found out that during the pairing process with the TyTNII, I musn't enter the passcode the first time. Only when it asks for the second time for passcode, I have to enter 0000. I think the first one was to set a password so that the device you are pairing will have to enter the password set on the TyTNII so that the device can see the TYTYII. However in this case, the headset is not able to enter any password.
It now works flawlessly stereo profile and headset profile simultaneously.

Bluetooth issues..

Been looking around for a resolution to my issue and still can't seem to find any.
Here's the deal, I have a Motorola H710 BT mono headset. I just recently upgraded my rom to the latest "Official" 3.56. and prior to the upgrade I was using bad sector's IDtransfer app with the audiogateway app to be able to listen to the incoming ringtones through the headset and I would use the audiogateway app to be able to listen to music through the headset as needed, then shut if off when I didn't.
The problem arose after the update and when trying to install these same two apps. I would get into a rolling reboot after the soft reset and had to hard reset to fix it.
I'm currently using Destination Gotlands BT app and although it seems to let me hear my ringtones and music through I guess an "always on" audio gateway, it comes at the expense of not having voice speed dial as by pressing down on the earpiece buttin is what turns on the app and opens the gateway, where as before it was what turned on voice speed dial.
Another issue is that when I put the phone in "sleep" mode by pushing the power button, the gateway seems to close and the music no longer is heard through the BT headset. It also does this when i'm not even using the BT headset but the phone's speakers. Is this normal? It seems to cut in and out sometimes. I'm pretty sure that it use to play music with the screen turned off prior to the update. Is there a registry tweak or something that will allow this?
So in brief, what i'm looking for is an app/reg tweak that will allow me to
1. Hear my incoming call ringtones through my BT headset automatically.
2. Still use voice speed dial.
3. Listen to music through my BT headset when I want to and be able to shut it off.
4. Not close the audio gateway with my bt headset when I turn off the screen on my phone.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. And again, this is for WM6.1.
Thanks!

bump. Anyone?

Opposite Problem
I just reflashed my phone the other day.
As I was going and reconfiguring everything I noticed that my bluetooth connection was active even when I put my phone to sleep.
I remember changing some settings last time I configured my phone to turn off bluetooth and not allow data connections when the phone was asleep to conserve battery.
I thought I used an application like "AdvancedConfig" or "KaiserTweak" to change the WM6 settings but I am not seeing those settings in those applications this second time around.
I'm running Dutty's Dual Touch for the Kaiser. I'm sure there are settings to set on the WM6 OS registry that can turn on or off the bluetooth sleep functions.
Do any of you know an application that can change the bluetooth / data connections hack or the registry changes that need to be made to accomplish this?

I think I may have found it.
Go to Settings -> Phone -> "Data" Tab. See if you're "Disable data Connections" setting is checked and try unchecking it.
This may affect bluethooth. I have my macbook connected to my phone showing signal strength and batter. When I unchecked that box and put my phone to sleep the connection was lost.
Let me know if that fixed it.

Don't have that "data" option/tab in my phone settings. Only "Services" and "More". And under services there is no data option either.

Bluetooth headset usage? + Bottom hard keys behavior during calls?

Hi all,
Does anybody has tested the HD mini with a Bluetooth headset? More precisely, does the screen keep locked during and after a call answered through a Bluetooth device?
(This is not the case with my current HD2 and locking the hard keys prevents to answer calls from a bluetooth headset... this is not good at all. As the HD mini has different keys for End Call and for Power On/Off, its behavior may be different.)
Another one : aren't the bottom hard keys (which seems to be capacitive, as the screen digitizer, but are they?) too sensitive? Do they tend to end a call when speaking, the phone being held against the cheek?
Have a nice day!

I dunno about the bluetooth stuff as I dont have a headset.
With regards to the buttons, the device has a proximity sensor which turns off the screen and buttons when it's close to your face.

Thank you very much, that's a good point.

I have had my mini for 4 days now, first ever HTC and got to say very impressed. I was on a long run in the car yesterday and used the Bluetooth a few times, I have a Bluetooth headset in the car for streaming music and obviously hands free phone calls.
Il start with the music side; using the standard HTC music player I found that when being played the music would cut out (maybe once or twice) after first setting it up but then be seamless from that point. I have noticed though that when going back to use the Mini (car stationary of course) the music would begin to cut out again. I don’t know if this is the music player or the connection but this has just left me to resort to setting up a playlist then using the car headset to change tracks.
As for the phone, if you have it plugged into the cigarette lighter (very useful for charging without the phone being away from your side) it wont go into standby mode, although the first call i received I used the Mini’s answer button to answer which appeared to cut off the Bluetooth and answer the call as normal, not the best situation to be in when you are driving. The 2nd phone call i got i used the car headset answer button which kept the Bluetooth running.
The only other big issue is that every time I get into the car I have to manually setup the connection from my phone to the car headset, I don’t know if this is meant to be like this or I have missed a setting any advice in this area would be useful
Cheers

Thank you, Q22ube, for you input.
My usage of a bluetooth headset is quite different since, most of the time, I use the phone with a motorcycle helmet headset (Cardo Scala Rider G4) so the phone is in a pocket or in a bag, running on its own battery, and I have no physical access to the device while riding . For now, I am using a HTC HD2 (which is a very nice device but a little too big to use it one hand) and music streaming through Bluetooth A2DP is quite good. I also had to setup a playlist since, by default, the HTC Sence music player will use nearly all music tracks available on the device, including some system sound .

I don't known how works your headset (or car embedded Bluetooth system) but, most of the times you have to pair the audio device with the phone:
set the audio device in pairing mode (according to its user's manual);
go to the Bluetooth control panel of the phone;
from here, search for a new headset (e.g. click "add new headset");
when found, select the audio device and then follow the pairing procedure displayed on the phone screen;
usually, you have to enter a pairing code which should be found in the headset (or car) users's manual (most of the times it is 0000) or only click "OK".
Usually, this pairing procedure must be done only once. After that, provided Bluetooth is already turned on on the phone, you only have to switch on your headset (your car embedded audio system) and it will automatically connect to the phone. If the audio system is already on when you enter your car with your phone, you may have to switch it off and on again to start the bluetooth connection.
It is possible that your audio car system is always searching for known phones and then, the previous paragraph may not apply but I have no experience with such systems (only with some plain headsets).
One last point: please, do not leave Bluetooth in discoverable mode on your phone all the time and double check your Bluetooth security settings... Nobody should discover your phone if you don't want that and no unknown (malicious) device should be able to connect to it.
Cheers

Hi Q22ube and darthrider,
I've had my mini for one day only and found that the bluetooth device partnering is not "for life"
In my nokia formerly, I only needed to pair my gps with the phone once and that would be it! They never needed to be paired each and every time I wanted to use the two together like the mini does now.
I don't think that is normal ... Can you share with me your experiences? I use the GPS a great deal and is the main reason why I bought this phone (because it's the last wm phone and garmin's software only runs on wm and symbian) so it's irritating to have to go through so many steps every time I come back to the car.

Found the solution
Hello again,
After another good many hours of fiddling with the phone I discovered that the Bluetooth button that you find in the "Wireless Controls" tab under "Settings" brings you to "Comm Manager" which is actually a BTWizard.exe
What it should have been is "BTManager.exe" which you can find in Windows directory. This is the exe. file that allows you to launch and find paired devices automatically without needing to constantly repair.
I created a .lnk file in the Windows/Programs/ directory to BTManager.exe, put it into one of my quicklaunch panels and now I can switch on my BT, open the port and go straight into my Garmin programme without needing to repair my BT receiver.
Paired for life!

yes working fine
Dear Friend

I did not notice the paring problem you described since I opened the Bluetooth Manager from "Sense Settings Tab > Menu > More > Bluetooth". This opens the true Bluetooth Manager and not the Bluetooth Wizard. Happily, you have found another solution.
I think that the Comm Manager should launch the Bluetooth Manager instead of the Bluetooth Wizard.

Anyone else having issues with Bluetooth not connecting to headsets?

I am finding that sometimes my DI will not connect to a headset it is already paired with even if the device. For example, my home phone has Bluetooth built into it so that my calling my cell phone makes my home phone ring. However I generally have to manually go into Settings -> Wireless & Network -> Bluetooth settings and then manually connect to that device.
Sometimes that doesn't even work and even when I click "Scan for devices" nothing happens. I have to power off my phone and then power it back on for it to work.
It is a big pain because I will be in my car and put on my Bluetooth headset and it won't work automatically. Not fun to have to restart the phone just to get Bluetooth to work.
Any thoughts?

I've used BT headsets since the Moto V710 came to VZW.
Some phones are better than others at connecting, and the Incredible seems slightly better than the Moto Droid - or maybe about the same.
Examples (and I use a few different headsets):
I answer the phone normally and decide to switch to a headset. I power on my headset and stick it on my ear. After a few seconds I hear the "connecting" noises thru the headset and the audio switches over from phone to the headset automatically.
This is what happens most of the time. Now sometimes I do this process but nothing happens. So I then press (usually long-press, depending on the particular headset) the button on the headset to "make" it connect. Sometimes, though not very often, even this doesn't work (after trying several times) - in that case I power off the headset (not the phone!) and power it back on again and repeat.
If I turn on the headset before making a call, I have close to 100% success rate for my headset connecting normally.
This is about par for the course as far as Bluetooth goes. Some phones are better than others - and the top of the line dumb phones I've used seemed to connect a little more consistently than the various smartphones I've used.
As to your issues, if your home phone BT thing doesn't have a button to help "force" the connection, then maybe just try powering off/on BT on your phone instead of powering the phone off.

Yes i have the same problems. Not unique to the Incredible though. Just about every smartphone I've had does the same BS.
The iPhone is the only phone that worked greater than 90% of the time. Wish the Incredible was better.

Thanks for your input guys.
Coming from experiences as a long time Windows Mobile user, I never had any problems with this. I think with Windows Mobile it automatically connected to whatever Bluetooth device it had already been paired with something like 98% of the time. With this phone it is honestly 50% at the best.
I want to clarify here though that it is not just it being flakey. There is definitely something that happens with the software on the phone. How I know this is that when I have this happen and it is not connecting to any Bluetooth devices, I will go into Settings and when I press the scan for devices button, nothing at all happens. Normally it would appear to be searching.
Something is definitely happening (or not happening) and I haven't narrowed it down to figure out what it is.

I use BT headset in my truck all the time. I turn on BT before I get into the truck and turn on the headset after I am in the truck. Takes a few moments to connect.
Works every time. Only real issue is lack of hands free dialing, but if I know I will be calling someone while driving, I pre-dial the number and can with a long press on the headset redial after I am driving.
Answer the phone is not an issue.

I have the same problem.
Xlink BT gateway at home, Moto H790 headset for use in the car.
My other phones auto connect (or I get a prompt on the phone asking if I want to connect based on BT Security settings on the phone).
My HTC Incredible will sometimes auto connect, but if I disconnect the H790, it doesn't auto connect to the Xlink. If I got into Settings on the INC, and select the Xlink to connect to, the INC will tell me it failed. Same if I try to reconnect the H790.
I have to power the INC off/on.
This is unlike my other phones and Blackberries. (NOTE: I didn't try my droid with the Xlink, but it seemed to connect/disconnect/reconnect fine with my H790, unlike my INC which doesn't).

Yep, KidJoe, that does sound exactly the same. Glad to see I am not crazy. If you find a solution, post it to this thread please. I'll do the same.

Same problem here.....The MyTouch I had was 100% reliable when picking up the BT when in and out of range. I think I want a MyTouch with a 4.25 inch screen.

Bluetooth volume issue

Why the volume always reset when i connect my bluetooth devices to phone? For example i connect my phone to car audio via bluetooth and its on min loudnes. I need to increase volume every time i connect my phone to car audio.

Yeah this been pissing me off lately and cant find a setting either. My fix is to make a call asap and hang up before it goes out. Then volume restores
