Is it possible to have my phone automatically pair up and start using it as the audio device when I turn bluetooth on? I have the new AT&T Tilt and bought a Motorola DC800 bluetooth receiver for my car. I'm new to this whole pda phone thing - and as of right now - I have to go into the settings of the bluetooth menu and click/hold on the DC800 and say "Set as Wireless Stereo"... since I get in and out of the car a lot - I'm looking for a way to avoid having to do these extra clicks...
Any registry tricks or programs that will auto connect for me?
Look for A2DP Toggle. It should solve your problem... not that it would automatically pair, but give you a much easier way to accomplish the above than what you are doing at the moment.

I have just brought an add on for my car head unit to enable bluetooth handsfree operation. It has the options for displaying text messages and some other features but they are all greyed out and only normal phone calls can be done.
Also the phone display turns on when you receive a call and so if its in your pocket you can press the screen by mistake.
Has anyone else used features like text alerts or with windows mobile devices or know any way to get these extra features working with car hands free kits.
I cant find anything much on the net so hope someone can help!
Bluetooth Profiles
The only thing I can think of is that a Bluetooth profile that supports the functionality you require is not enabled.
Check Profiles under Bluetooth settings and try enabling some of the unchecked profiles.

Hi all,
I am trying to use the factory bluetooth integration in my car, and from everything I've read, it requires SAP (or rSAP?) to work properly. I've never had trouble pairing to the bluetooth module, but the car still insists there is no phone.
After messing with it yesterday and installing SAPSettings, I can hear the speaker of the phone in the car's audio, but no microphone, and it still says "insert phone" in the car's phone menu as apposed to downloading the phone book and letting me dial on the screen.
The phone lists the SAP profile among many others, but if I go into the settings of the car's bluetooth connection, it only lets me choose "Hands Free", with an on/off checkbox. It seems like thats what it sensed was available from the car, and offers nothing else, but I'd like to force SAP instead.

Thanks!
I'm going to put the official windows mobile 6.1 on it to see if it makes a difference.
bluetooth is a long list of various profiles
problem is that devices only need to implement 1 or 2 to call themselves
bluetooth devices and no if the maker of the bluetooth stack in both ends
didn't implement a profile you can't force it
I have this problem trying to get my HD to connect to my landrover freelander 2 hse. I can get it to connect to the phone, but cant get the call to play thru cars speakers.
Dont bother with winmo 6.1 or official rom, just doesnt work at then (cant connect).
Only way i can get it to work is with winmo 6.5 (manila 2.5) (profiles must have newer or more stable settings). Only thing i have to do then is to make a call (normally voicemail) turn privacy on, then off again and voila it plays thru speakers.
Downside is i have to do this everytime i start the engine.........
Now that probably doesnt help you much but you will probably find from your car manufacturer that you device is not supported with you cars handsfree bluetooth kit.
the only one fully compatible with the freelander 2 is................. an phone
Hi ppl,
I'm having issues with bluetooth on mytouch4g phone.
To connect it to hands free set I have to every time turn off and then turn on bluetooth on my phone.
Anyone have similar issue?
Is there a setting somewhere to set default device?
Thanks
Do you mean "Hands free mode" or do you mean pairing a stereo BT headset?
With the stock OS -- "Hands free mode" can be set by either 1) starting the Car Dock application, or 2) Using the BT headset phone button or the Genius button to enable speech commands, and saying "Hands Free On" once the phone is ready.
With the stock OS -- pairing of the phone occurs automatically whether the phone or headset is powered up first. Pairing of media (for stereo headsets) will only occur automatically with any degree of regularity -- from experimentation and observation by others, reported on forums like this -- if the phone's BT is powered up =after= the headset. One can manually disable and enable media connectivity after long pressing on the device in the BT settings window, and that will establish the media connection -- but it is probably easier to have a BT power toggle on your home page somewhere.
If neither of these answers the question you were asking, please rephrase it. And of course, for a custom ROM (non-stock OS), ask in the appropriate ROM's thread in the development subforum.
I mean bluetooth at car. I'm able to pair my phone with car and connect with no issues.
If I get into the car with my phone and bt on - it will not establish connection. I have to turn off bt on the phone and turn it back on. Then it will establish connection. It works fine with my old Fuze.

I finally talked my wife into an Android phone when it was time to upgrade from her outdated flip phone. She hasn't gotten completly used to it and only uses the basic phone/internet/app funcitons at the moment. For her birthday I am getting her a car stereo that has bluetooth built in. I want to set up a bluetooth task/widget that will:
Turn on bluetooth
check for car connection
if present:
turn on vlingo,
give menu of media apps to chose from.
turn up bluetooth/media volume
if not present turn off bluetooth:
If disconnected from car bluetooth for more than 5 min (walk away from car).
Turn off all the above.
Is this possible? I know it is a lot to ask, but I really want to make this easy for her for her birthday so she will actually use it
I am new to Tasker so I may ask follow up questions.
Thanks in advance,
shadow.
I never really bothered to thing about this until recently, but I personally have three ways I use bluetooth.
1) My car, when I get in my car I want my phone to connect to bluetooth
2) My headphones, when I turn on my headphones I want my phone to connect to bluetooth
3) My home stereo, I only want this connection to happen when I initiate it
Is there anyway to manage bluetooth connections per device like this in Android? As it stands my only thought is to have my home Tasker profile disable bluetooth, but that's a hacky workaround and I'm hoping something better exists (also something that doesn't require tasker so I can make it work on my wife's phone too).
Trigger app should do the trick. You can create profiles for each BT connection.
