Hi guys,
I'd like to use my laptops speakers and microphone as a 'bluetooth headset / handsfree device' so I can talk without having the phone in my hand.
Is this possible to do ?
I am using the Soliel 2.3 bluetooth stack with a Broadcom USB BT dongle which does appear to show 'bluetooth headset' as a service but my Wizard only shows 'serial port' as being an available service.
I'm currently using the NBD 8.0 rom..
Any suggestions appreciated!
does nobody know, or is this just not possible ?
I do think it's possible...
Hey,
i am using Jaguar's 3.1 and when i set up all my BT connections i saw the following in my list of connections to my PC: Serial,dial up net and headset. just for kicks cause i've been down about my rom project not turning out so good i messed with it and it works...somewhat. i say that because it was kinda choppy but that might have been 'cause i had both phones in the same room.
After i flash to a certain WM 6 rom, i do not have any event sounds,(for example, when i tap on start there is no "click sound". However other sounds are working... How do i enable the sound? Thx

now having another problem....
when i insert my usb handsfree.... it is not detected
help ..... (did a search but mostly is about bluetooth headset)
could it be my headset is faulty?
Guys.... how do check if my headset setttings are turned on?
Thx in advance
Checking your headset
One of the easiest ways to test your bluetooth headset is to see if another device (e.g., phone, laptop, PDA, etc.) can detect your headset. If not, then your headset is bad. If they can detect it, then we can turn back toward your phone andd see what's up.
I hope this helps!
is a USB headset
Searched around can find anything that lets you send sound via bluetooth to my phone, my headphone jack on my pc suddenly stopped working this is the only other way i can think of getting it to work.
if your pda show audiogateway as a available bluetooth profile when you add it to your pc as a bluetooth device you can do it if not your bluetooth stack dont support it
o right well mine doesn't damn, thought there might be some program to make it appear as an audio gateway.
I've spent days searching and trying all sorts of tweaks but I can't get anything to work. Can anyone PLEASE help!
I use Tomtom 7 and I've always sent the voice instructions to the bluetooth speaker in my bike helmet (just a handsfree paired item). I've previously done this on HTC devices with BTAudio and a one line registry tweak. Can anyone offer a solution to send all the audio to a bluetooth handsfree on the HD2?
I really hope someone can help, I've got the HD2 setup just right except for this last remaining item.
Many thanks,
i have the same problem...
@noony i think u have already enabled in bt setting the option "manage system audio in handsfree device" if u didnt...try that
for me doesnt work maybe its a headphone problem i see a sort of "fhhh" when any sound is played on phone but still come out from the speeker
another issue... every time i start a call with bt the volume is at the lower level..internal and headphone too! and the last is very strange because with my artemis didnt do

Yes I've tried the "manage system audio in handsfree device" option. I can get some background noise on the headsets (I'm trying with a Scala Rider and Motorola 700 & 850) but I never manage to get any sound.
Can anyone please offer a solution? It's a big disappointment for me if this isn't possible. Any suggestions welcome, many thanks.
My Observations
I pared it with my BMW and for the life of me cant ger any audio (music) over bluetooth ( the phone works fine) I then tried it on a $20 bluetooth earpiece I ocassionally use for the phone and guess what I can play music over it fine.
I tried and tried again in the car but could not get it to work.
I think some bluetooth devices will not work. Is there a different specifiaation for bluetooth ir BT1 and BT2 ??
I havent checked into this yet.....

It gives me some hope that you've got it to work with one bluetooth device. Can you please let me know exactly what you did to get the $20 bluetooth earpiece to work?
Thanks,
yeah that was my idea but without a stereo bt device i cant try to myself...i ordered to vodafone one with some of my tons of points...3 weeks and no answer!
I had the same issue and on my old phone, the HTC Touch HD, I used the following program to my satisfaction:
BTAudio
On my HTC HD2 however this doesn't seem to work anymore. :-(
it does the same thing of the inbuild bt option on hd2 its just a "quick link" to place on the bar
anyone of u have any problem with bt device volume? before i have an Artemis and 3 different device i used the device volume was every time the one i choose...now every time a new call starts phone volume its right but device volume jump to minimum level and every time i have to press + button like as i'm playing videopoker to dont miss fist seconds of a conversation
Works fine with Jabra 3030, all audio over it, music, system sounds and calls.
Maybe it's only working for bluetooth devices that are setup as stereo. Can anyone please offer a solution here?
I've installed a 6.5 rom (dutty v7 - thank you) on my HD and after a sprite restore (level 2) bluetooth audio divert works fine. Although I notived that the bluetooth options remained the old settings (possibly due to my backup restore) and the divert was done using the BTAudio. Sorry to keep asking but if anyone can shed light on this.
Is it possible to tweak the HD2 so that audio can be sent to any bluetooth headset/handsfree or is there some hardware limitation that stops this from being done?
I've tried every app and tweak that I can think of! Please can anyone help, even iof it's to let me know why this can't be done.
Thanks,
its what we all are trying to do......now i think its only a bt device problem...if it support bt2.1 and a2dp with edr seems to work all good....
i solved in car with headphone in the box...but bluetooth should be much and much better without any cable that always have to remove nodes (its the right word? sorry if not hehe)
I'm connecting to my HD2 using Jabra Stone, an A2DP headset. When I selected the stereo headset profile on the HD2, it redirected all system sounds to the headset: reminders, SMS alert, soundtrack for videos, audio player....except phone ring. I used BT Audio over a non-A2DP headset before with Diamond2, but the ausio is very poor, and the connection drops very often. Since I changed to A2DP headsets, the Diamond2 and HD2 supports it out of the box - no hack needed.
So look for A2DP headsets if you want to redirect audio.
Thank you to everyone that has helped with replies. I've now got my answer. If the bluetooth device supports A2DP then it works! (just won't work with mono etc)
I've now tested my HD2 with over a dozen bluetooth devices ALL A2DP enabled headsets regardless of if they are cheap or expensive!
Thanks again for everyone taking the time to help.
I have an LG HBM-220 bluetooth and cannot put audio to in, only phone calls!
How can i manage to do it?
I blame it on the stupid Widcomm Bluetooth stack... If the HD2 used the better MS stack, BT would play nice with with more of our periphirals and apps
I can't use MSVC properly with BT either....
the solution is to go to the bluetooth settings, select your device and connect the stereo audio connection.
Way back, Microsoft decreed that ONLY the phone app could use a mono BlueTooth headset, although any audio could be redirected to a stereo A2DP headset.
In order to get around this you need to fudge the sytem with something like BTAudio or TekSoft's BlueAudio.
The latter worked on my XDA Orbits (1 and 2) but does not work on my Touch HD with Dutty's R6 ROM (WM 6.5) possibly because BlueAudio requires the Microsoft BlueTooth stack and I suspect Dutty's ROM has the Widcomm stack. But I could be wrong about that.
BTAudio sort of works on my Touch HD, but outgoing audio is speeded up like I've been breathing Helium.
So no current solution to yet another idiotic gotcha from Microsoft.

Hmmm. When I conect via gprs to youtube aps I can hear the voice in my mono headset (jabra 2020) but via wifi and computer as modem voice is only in phone speaker. So maybe we should look gprs or youtube aps reg tweek.
Guys
i have a nokia HB-100 headset and i'm experiencing all kinds of strange behavours
sometimes system sounds including music ...etc get directed to the headset and some other time it just directs calls no matter how hard i try thru soft resets or unchecking then checking the "play system sounds ..." option!
very strange, any insights about this? is there a tweak to go with or is it a known WM defect?
Hello,
i'm currently testing a Polycom Voyager Pro UC v2 BT Headset (can be paired with PC and Phone) ...
but i have strange Problems with the Soundoutput... i searched google about that and found many things relating to Phone 7 and A2DP...
it looks like Phone 7 sometimes playes the hole audio trough the headset, even the ringtones... so the phone just vibrates...
also sometimes when the bt Headset is connected the phone reads out loud an incoming SMS message... but sometimes just on headset... and if i don't wear it and i'm not wearing it the hole time i did't hear it and so on....
so my idea is that maybe something can be hacked in the registry to enable/disable/change such features....
i know this from wm6.5 dev that there were plenty of options and also i had there problems too with wrong or no audio routing...
maybe someone can test a bit or can say my what i have to change to get rid of this anoying "features"
thx
Steve
well, first off wrong thread.
Second im not aware of this problem, but in settings>> speech there is an option for that.
Also using a2dp there should be some bad quality if using stock registry settings. here are the new registry values
