Switching between two BT headsets instantly? - General Topics

I have two mono BT headsets:
A portable motorola HS820 BT earpiece
A BT carkit speaker
I want to be able to switch between the two, so when i enter my car i would just need to press a button to toggle between the two headsets.
Is there any app to help me do this?

Did you solve the problem?

no, i didn't find a solution.
the workaruond is to turn off the portable headset before i turn the other one on.

just a thought, tasker app might help you there. I haven't tried it, but it's possible you could set up a widget to toggle between the two.

All audio through bluetooth?

I am coming from using a Motorola Q9H. When paired with my bluetooth headset (Plantronics Voyager 520), the Q9H would deliver all audio (phone calls, notifcation sounds, Skyfrie, Youtube, etc) through the bluetooth headset. The Fuze doesn't seem to do this. Is there a way to force this functionality, though? I have Advanced Config installed, if that helps any.
Please search the forum. This has been covered many times.
Hint look in Setting/Personal look in there for your answer!

I can't get all sounds through my voyager 520 either. I can do it with my Cardo S-2 stereo bluetooth headphones though, it seems like the Raphael doesn't support that out of the box for non-A2DP profile devices. Sound quality for anything but phone conversations suck through a regular headset anyway. You should really invest in some stereo bluetooth headphones, it's worth it!
Well, the only reason I want to do it is for the odd Youtube video on the bus and such. Quality isn't a concern since I don't listen to music from my phone.
I recently got a set of bluetooth stereo headphones, but before I did, this worked fine for me.

Thank you. I'm going to try that after work.
One thing, if I leave the toggle on, and then disconnect the BT, will it then play the sounds through the speakerphone as usual and then back through the BT as soon as I connect the BT again?
I know the sounds went through the speaker after turning off the BT headset. I think I had to run the toggle app twice to get the sounds to go through the BT headset again (once to disable the old orphaned BT pairing, once to enable it with the new one). I'm not sure about that, though, and can't try it conveniently, as I just flashed a new ROM and didn't bother installing the toggle app since I didn't need it with the new stereo headphones.
Thanks. I'll give it a try and see what happens.

It is free and it works.
Didn't work for me in trying to route TomTom speaker instructions through bluetooth to the car. :-(

Dunno what to say. My initial motivation for trying it out was to route amAze GPS navigation instructions through my bluetooth headset, and it worked fine for that. Worked for TCPMP video sound, too. I don't know why TomTom would be different.

Maybe it's headset/handsfree profile difference?

Using BT headset as "Audio Gateway"

I used an HP iPAQ 6955 (WM5) for nearly 2 years prior to my newly acquired Touch Pro. It had the ability to use my BT headset as an "Audio Gateway" which is EXTREMELY convenient when using a GPS NAV application as you get the directions in your ear, rather than through the phone's speaker.
I can't seem to find anywhere on the Touch Pro to enable this "feature"? My BT headset works great for calls, but I cannot get any other audio sent to the headset.
Ideas?

Go and look for BTAudio.cab. It's what you're looking for.

one bund the a2dp able headset to the pda

I am having the same trouble. I'm trying to stream internet radio from my Fuze to my car through the bluetooth. I can send/receive calls and everything is great but can't play music. When paired the option for Stereo Headset is grayed out and it only works as a regular earpiece. I have tried the Blue Music and BT audio with no luck. Neither one worked.
Any other ideas?

Have you done it (using BTAudio) the right way? You have to connect your BT headset FIRST and THEN start the BTAudio application and switch it to on. Don't forget to switch it to off afterwards.

Thanks for the info. I'll try it later today.

Your car's bluetooth system may not support streaming audio. Mine does not, even though it pairs in stereo with my fuze.

I read the manual and it says that it does support streaming music if the phone supports it. So I assume there is something needed in the phone. I looked in the Advanced Config Tool 3.3 and under the Bluetooth category there are two services listed for Audio Gateway and that is disabled by default. Is that something that could be the problem?
Works great!

Finally got around to installing the BTAudio earlier this week, and it works great. I now get the GPS directions in my Bluetooth headset, as well as other audio alerts, like new e-mail and SMS alerts.
Only gripe is that after answering a phone call, you have to stop and start the BTAudio app again. Guess it's the price of getting what I want?

It might be. Enable it and see what happens.

[Q] How to pair with Bluetooth headset in phone mode?

I just got a Bluetooth headphone/headset (with mic) to use with my GT7+ (GT-P6210 wi-fi only) and my semi-smart phone. The headset (Motorola MOTOROKR S305) has three different pairing modes: music only, phone only, and both.
When I pair it with my little phone, it automatically pairs as both. It works fine as a phone headset (mic and earphones), and it works fine as a stereo headphone with the phone's music player.
When I pair it with my GT7+, it automatically pairs as music-only. There is no microphone function. With Bluetooth off, I can make calls using the GT7+ built-in mic and speaker and the GrooVe IP app. No problems. But with the Bluetooth headset paired, I just don't get the mic function. I can hear the phone audio in the earpieces, but the mic is dead.
Is there any workaround? Is there a way to get the GT7+ to identify itself as a phone-capable as well as music-capable device for the purpose of Bluetooth pairing? (That's what I think must be missing.)
TIA.
I can't speak for that particular headset but I successfully use a jabra (phone headset only) and GV with my tab plus. However, before I had a A100 tab and I had similar mic problems with the same jabra headset...so the whole compatibilty thing seems to be hit or miss.
I assume you checked settings to confirm there are no options to adjust mic? Also, you might see what happens if you pair and use GV right after boot.

I did check settings and I didn't find anything relevant. I also tried pairing while GrooVe IP was running and logged into GV. I'll try that again right after boot. Thanks.

Using BT headset microphone

Is there any way to get my BT headset to permanently act as the microphone for the tablet? I've been searching for apps, but couldn't turn out anything in particular. It's a rooted one, and "use for phone sound" is checked in BT settings for the headset.
Any ideas? You'd think someone else would have a similar problem - or is it just a problem with the headset's capabilities?
My sennheisers work fine...
