Multiple BT headsets-How to auto-connect - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development

Hi all,
I own multiple bluetooth headsets and a car unit. How do I make it so after turning one headset off the phone automatically connects to the next paired headset in range?
Also, does anyone know how to make the phone show on the home screen or task bar when a headset is connected?
Thanks!

Any takers?

All working!

Yes if you build yourself a ROM with the next release of my kitchen BT works period! Task bar icon and all!
Wifi works!
Phone works!
It all works like a charm because it is the only WM6 that was made specifically for the Wizard, not some butchered crossbreed.

Sounds great! When can I expect to see a download for this?
Thanks!

Ver7
I will have version 7.0.0 Uploaded by noon pacific time.

Bluetooth switcher

Hi to everyone.
Did somebody installed an application to switch automatically switch bluetooth on/off when making/receiving calls??!
I tried DKToday and PocketBluetoothTools, but they don't work properly.

Thanks.

Do a search for "SwitchIT" on this forum. It should address your requirements.
cheers,

Yep, SwitchIt by Buzz_lightyear does all you want, certainly when you combine it with the SwitchItcontraol app by BGK. search for SwitchIt+ Buzz_Lightyear and you cannot miss it
No, SwitchIt doesn't switch bluetooth automatically when you make/receive call. It is a bluetooth toggle...
Hi tiberalex,
try the new DKToday 1.79, this version works fine on my MDA Compact.
phonealarm
this is the best, and it is still working on WM2005
PPCProfiles-Pro v2.00c
can configure to
silent
vibrate
bluetooth
normal
is all up to your idea
try it, you will love it

It doesn't work as he asked for. It doesn't switch BT on/off automatically on incoming/outgoing calls.
thats true, indeed. :/

The software does a fair bit but unfortunately PPCProfiles-Pro wont switch on/off bluetooth when you initate a call or receive one.
Looks like bttools will though.
I have noticed on my imate2 running wm2003se and pocket bttools that my phone will turn on bluetooth when I make a call and off after 60seconds based on my configuration. I only noticed it the other day and havent played with it much as yet. I have a suspicion that bttools can be configured to do what you want.

From the above link you can get the software and there is a guide that lets you know more about it also.

I tried PocketBluetoothTools...it works but after using bluetooth headset it is impossible to talk by the standard microphone. I've just sended an email to the author but no answer!!!

Here is a extract from the bttools web site help page.
The icon on the left activates or deactivates Bluetooth. The clock symbol switches automatic power off for Bluetooth on or off. When activated (white backround as in the picture) then Bluetooth will be switch off after 60sec of inactivity.
The two battery icons on the right side let you switch between two profiles for auto power off of the PDA and the back light. For example you may switch to the second mode and adjust the settings to "always on" and "never switch back light off". Thereby you can switch the PDA with one simple to "always on" when you are in your car and want to use GPS navigation.

Nice Program that is small and working!
Use miniBT
i mapped the REcord button to use this program, works like a charm.
switches on/off

[found!] Stereo headset (re)connection app requested !

Solution found: use battery status. In its last builds it has an option to enable A2DP directly by pressing BT tray icon
---------------------------------------------------
Hi mates,
Does everybody has the same problem with BT profiles ?
It goes well from stereo (listening music) to headset (calling) profile, when a call is incoming. But when the call is ended, or if you disabled bluetooth meanwhile (or turned off the headset), you must go to BT options, devices, then tap 'n hold the headset and set it as wireless stereo. Quite a long operation for a simple task, I had in mind that someone could write a cmd-line app which would do this ?
I had once a rom/a2dp patch/reg values combination that worked well with calls ending -> music goes on. But thus it didn't automatically connect the headset (as wireless stereo) on first start. Maybe this is by design, to avoid cutting off the sound coming out from the pda each time you activate BT, but it's annoying to me
So..... Am I the only one ?
Niko
ps: Vijay's VJVolubilis almost do this, but only for headset profile AFAIK
No, the 'not-returning a2dp club' is full of people... you can be the mr. president if you want...
I had the same problem. I returned my BT stereo headset because of the same problems. I'm done with A2DP.
FYI, I asked a few authors to check if they can do something about this.
So you may follow the development of those apps if you're interested in a one-click A2DP Stereo connection : AEBPlus, Battery Status and VJVolubilis.
I'll try to post again when something new is coming.
Ah... have any of you guys tried the later A2DP patches?
And why not just use the bluetooth button to reconnect wireless stereo?
I don't have any hardware button, nor any icon (except the one from battery status) associated to bluetooth. Would you please detail what you were talking about ? If it's an icon, could you try to extract the corresponding exe ?
I tried many A2DP patches, not sure if they are the latests or not, but none provided automatic stereo reconnection, at least when I just turned my headset (or bluetooth) on. Since I do that often....
I mean the button on your bluetooth headset. Click it once to connect; sometimes it needs another click to activate wireless stereo. I know not every headset supports this, but an A2DP headset should.
You might have to set wireless stereo once from the device, but after that, the headset should activate using its button the next time.
Resume problem should be fixed with the AKU3+ A2DP patches. Again, YMMV.
Note: Sorry for the double-post... site's really slow.

It doesn't have one..... it automatically connect, but in headset mode (phone), not stereo
I'll try to test with another one in a shop.

Sorry but.... YMMV ? ^^
Didn't try AKU3.x yet, have you hear good reports from prophet users ? I haven't at that time..
I'll give it a try (or WM6) when my device will be back from warranty
See comment #26. Certainly not conclusive based on one report. I've never encountered the problem, so....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=284344&page=3
It doesn't have a button? How does it answer phone calls then? Or the button pops up the phone app on the first press instead of just connecting?
The main button can answer calls, or end a current call.
Its second ability is to turn on/off the headset
I have AVRCP buttons for next/prev music operation, and one of them can dial the last number when pressed for a long time.
I guess I can also reject a call, can't remember how, but the connection thing is supposed to be automatic (Already tried to press buttons to check if it would (re)connect...)
Since it's kind of noname headset (CallStell), I won't even try to request help from them ^^
hum, that's it
ps: What does YMMV stands for ?
I'll give a try to that new patch. Interesting thread btw ! Can't read it completely by now, can I try that patch if I'm still on AKU2.x rom ?
Hmmm... my guess is that the power button or the call answer button should (re-) connect the headset once you have done it once manually ("set as wireless stereo"). Or maybe not.
There are two versions on that thread - one is from AKU 3.3, the other is from WM6. Not much difference between the two, but they are both better than the older Tornado patch in terms of compatibility, IMHO. Either can be used for any version of Prophet AKU 2.0 and up.
Oh, YMMV - your mileage may vary.
please explain more about installation.
where can i get ruu file for prophet?
meykou, just go through this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=284344
Makes a lot more sense if you read it from the beginning. Hard to explain otherwise.

I once tried many A2DP patches/few rom versions and player combinations.
I got different results, few were very poor, most of 'em was pretty nice.
But it always missed at least 1 thing ^^
Either the sound quality, the resume-after-call or the sound-drop **** ^^
But I'm not sure anymore if I managed to get rid of the latter at least once.. but it was not that bad, one sound drop every 2 songs, for 1 or 2s., or so... still anoying, but usable.
Oh, and what I first wanted to say, I tried to reconnect via the main button, but no results. I should try with another headset, btw. What's yours ? And would you advise me to buy it ?

Oh, ok
I downloaded both of them, and will give a new try to every combination I can figure out as soon as I have more time.
Thanks for your answers btw. I'll keep posting if a software solution is found.
And I'm quite sure that meykou only wants a working-one-click-install WM6 rom
Well, good luck. I'm using the i.Tech R35, BTW.
A2DP + Prophet + Music resume
Wow! It works.
It took time for me to realise that it resumes music after a little pouse.
I need to push button only once to cancel the phone call.

Handsfree devices with WM6

Hey group I was just wondering how your devices (running WM6) worked with different hands free devices. I myself use two different items.
#1) Scosche Bluelife Bluetooth Wireless Car Kit
I like the device itself but I have problems with my MDA not automatically pairing with it when I turn the car on. I have to maually select it as the Handsfree option within the bluetooth menu on the phone.
#2) Jabra BT620s
Again great device for voice calls, however music seems a little slow during playback and the phone doesn't automatically pair up with it when in range.
That's what I use. What do you guys use and how do they work with WM6?
oh yeah, and just to be clear, the devices do pair initially, just not automatically like they did with WM5.

My Plantronics Bluetooth has the same problem, well similar, it stays paired up, but if an incomming call comes in, the headset doesnt recognize it untill I hit the button once for it to notice, then gotta hold it down for 2 seconds till it beeps then it answers the phone, and have to do same to make outgoing calls. I dunno what model I hav because I cant find it no where and cant find package for it, but its very similar to the Explorer 320...just looks different.
Platronics Explorer 320 works just fine with Faria WM6

does it reconnect by itseld when you use it or do you have to manually reasign it?

Reconnects by itself. Turn on bluetooth on my phone, turn on the 320 and it connects automatically.
My bad fellaz, I got the Plantronics 220 Bluetooth, and the issue I posted above is what I'm having with it.

Hi all!
Most of the time I´m satisfied but I can´t get it to work flawless. Sometimes it just drops the connection to the phone in the middle of a conversation.
The most annoying thing is the skipping, mostly when I´m streaming webradio.
Anyone else using this headset and if so, are you having the same problems?
//G
Plantronics Discovery 340 works exactly like it did in WM5... perfectly...
Using WM6 Most Beautiful Edition I think (flashed so many roms that night hard to rem. which i settled for lol)

BT GPS does not work / function

Installed Helmi Himalaya ROM but now I can not get my BT GPS to work. If I discover I find the device, but there is a questionmark for the BT GPS text.
I have TomTom 6 installed but it will not see / connect with the GPS
Someone experience, because this is 70% of the use of my device??
some people report that they have to turn off beam
in connections to free a comport that some gps's require
not sure if goes for bluetooth devices too
Found it, the BT stops working when combining 2 BT devices. A headset and a GPS do not funtion together.
I'll have to look for a solution, but in the meantime I can "switch" betweeen them. Anyone a suggestion??

They do.
You have to connect GPS first though.

[Q] unlimited bluetooth identifiable

Hi everyone,
i wanted to know if there is any tip or solution to make my htc legend bluetooth identifiable permanently. I would like my stereo car connect automaticaly by bluetooth with my phone but it do not works automatically if the phone bluetooth is not identifiable... i would like to tick "identifiable" definitively and not for 120 seconds. any solutions? thanks very much
Once paired your head unit should do it as soon as you come into range? I know my cheap chines crap does!
unfortunatly not. but, as soon as I quote the identifiable case in the bluetooth option, my stereo car connect immediatly with my phone. that's why i wondering if there is any solution to hack the phone with adb shell or something like that witch force the bluetooth to be discovered all the time... how about your opinion?
