I've noticed these similar (and likely related) bugs in a lot of places and have been living with them for six months, but I have never seen a fix. Surely there are others with this issue that might be able to fix it.
Issue #1: When you connect a Bluetooth stereo headset to a Windows Mobile device, using the Wireless Stereo AND Hands Free profiles, the wireless stereo feature works fine, but when attempting to answer a call, hands free fails. The hands free icon shows on the Phone screen, no audio is heard, and after a few seconds the headset shuts off and the icon goes away.
Issue #2: When you connect a Bluetooth stereo headset to a Windows Mobile device using the Wireless Stereo profile and are watching video in Windows Media Player, if a call comes in, the program device.exe crashes and Windows Media Player will often need to be restarted. Device.exe will often crash at other times as well.
I have seen numerous reports of this problem, and near universal reports of it on the Dell BH200 Bluetooth Stereo Headphones. It seems to require A2DP, and be very common among HTC devices. I have had the same problem on the AT&T Tilt (Kaiser) and AT&T Fuze (Touch Pro/Rafael) under Windows Mobile 6. I can confirm the headset works as it is supposed to on Palm OS (Palm Centro) in headset mode, and that it was also able to work as a headset on the T-Mobile MDA (Wizard) running Windows Mobile 5 (which does not support A2DP).
In all cases, I am talking about devices using stock ROMs.
If you have seen the problem, please list the device, OS, and bluetooth device used. If you have a bluetooth stereo headset that does not exhibit the issue on devices that are known to have this problem, list that as well, so owners of devices with this issue can consider alternative headsets.
If you have any technical knowledge of what causes the issue, please share it. If you have heard of any workarounds, please share it.
Thank you all.
I have the Samsung i-640 running WM6 and have the same issue with The Dell BH200 not doin Hands free mode and the whole shut down of device happens too ..very Frustrating .
I tried using the Nokia BH 100 which does only Mono [Hands Free] and i get $hit loads of static noise but the Device doesnt Shutdown.
Heya, I have the AT&T Fuze and I also own the BH200. I have the same exact issue you have (issue #1). I have no idea why it does this but I've been trying to get support from dell for the longest time with no luck.
I think the problem lies in the MS BT stack. It does an automatic pin guessing thing which might cause the bh200 to not work properly. I have tested the fuze on the BT2020 (by Jabra) and it works perfectly. I just recently bought the moto s9 (still waiting for it to arrive) but I would prefer to use the dell bh200 if possible.
Check my sig for the information you're looking for.
Dell sends you to PC support when you try to get support on the device, since it's usually sold as an accessory with computers, but they refuse to offer actual support on the actual device, as though they knew nothing about it or how it works. I asked them if it was a rebranded version of another company's headset, and they wouldn't say.
I tried to get help from dell already, and they're as much help with it as telemarketers...
Similar problem
Maybe this is a stereo headset bug...
Maybe this is designed behavior, but it is typical of why people HAVE to hack the crap out of WM to be happy with it:
I have a ATT Tilt.
Behavior same under WM6 and WM6.1
I have a Jabra BT610s (stereo headphone with A2DP, AVRCP, handsfree, & wireless stereo profiles).
If the Tilt is paired with both wireless stereo & hands-free, then even if Win Media is running or playing, the hands-free profile is selected when powering on the headphones. Then, the stupid ATT Bluetooth settings are so buried that it requires about 30 secs of sylus picking, poking, and prodding to get it set to wireless stereo.
Is there a way to set the Tilt to default to wireless stereo, is there a helper app for quick-switching this?
Also, there are not infrequent dropouts in audio over bluetooth, even with the phone setting on the desk 24" away from the headphones as I type this.
All the remote control features DO work with this setup, but unfortunately there's no remote control function for profile switching.
Thanks,
I am using a stock ROM and I don't have the above problems. I am using a motorolla hb820 headset. I also use an LG Style i headset, and no problems either. I use Core Player and it plays fine even after a call. I only use WMP to play music and my X7510 haven't froze yet while playing music when a call comes in.
Hi
I am using Lg KE590 but I am not using the device so I have not gone through the problem. Is it for all the handset ?

I have several configurations with problems to report below:
1) HTC P3600i (WM6 stock ROM) + Dell BH200 => issue #1 (never try issue #2)
2) HTC P3600i (WM6 stock ROM) + Dopod HS01 clip-on BT stereo headset => All functions work fine, no problem switching between profiles
3) Dopod S300 (WM5 stock ROM) + Dell BH200 => stereo music & phone call works but music switch back to the phone after end of a call
4) Dopod S300 (WM5 stock ROM) + Dopod HS01 clip-on BT stereo headset => All functions work fine, no problem switching between profiles
5) Nokia 5610 Xpress Music + Dell BH200 => All functions work fine, no problem switching between profiles
6) Nokia 5610 Xpress Music + Dopod HS01 clip-on BT stereo headset => All functions work fine, no problem switching between profiles
Summary: I tend to believe that the problem is specific to Dell BH200 and some of HTC's or WM OS combination as Dell BH200 works fine with Nokia phones and Dopod BT headphones always work with any phones we have.
Reporting in, Im using Motorola S305 Stereo BT. No above issues whatsoever with 2 devices HTC Kaiser and Touch Pro. Both with stock or cooked ROM. I have a strong feeling its related to hardware prob on Dell BH200.
I have a touch pro that refuse to play nice with my AVIC-D3 head unit...I must pick either headset profile or wireless stereo profile, but not both. I remember coming across a solution called a2dptoggle. It let you switch between the 2 easily (in wm agenda page), but try it out to see if that's a solution or not.
Issue #1 using HTC Touch Pro and Dell BH200
Because of that issue i can't use the hands free function at all.
Only way i can use my headset is:
If i uncheck Hands free from partnership settings, then an incoming call mutes headset, i take out the phone have my conversation manually, after hangup the music plays on.

Listen to your Pocket PC on your traditional mono Bluetooth headset and/or use its built-in microphone for PDA-based recording!
(I’ve been constantly receiving questions about all these questions on various Pocket PC boards and newsgroups; now that I’m tired of answering the same question at least five times a day, I’ve decided to dedicate a complete write-up to it.)
I’ve published several articles on A2DP and AVRCP (please see the Bluetooth category in the Smartphone & Pocket PC Magazine Expert Blog), which is a great way to listen to music wirelessly in (almost) Hi-Fi quality and stereo.
The “traditional” headset mode, on the other hand, may be much more useful for much more Pocket PC users because
There are much more cheap, “traditional”, mono Bluetooth headsets than expensive and bulky A2DP stereo headphones. They are available in all phone shops everywhere and are used by, it seems, everywhere. An example of them is the X3 micro, of which Jack Cook has just published an excellent review
To listen to, say, GPS navigation, the (not very good, phone-grade) quality of these headsets may be sufficient
Furthermore, they offer two serious (!) advantages over the A2DP mode, because of which you may want to go for the traditional headset mode instead of the high-quality A2DP mode even if you have a full-blown A2DP stereo headphone:
when you actively connect a headset device to your PDA, you will not only use the PDA-to-headset sound routing, but also the opposite direction. That is, if you, for example, want to use your PDA to record your speech (and that of your environment), and the slightly degraded (recording) sound recording quality (which won’t really be an issue when you only plan to record speech) isn’t an issue, you may want to opt for using your headset to record your speech as opposed to your PDA, which, then, can even be in your pocket or even in your suitcase.
the CPU usage of the “plain” PDA-to- headset unit will be about an order of magnitude less than that of A2DP. For example, on the non-overclocked HTC Wizard, device.exe consumes between 28 and 35% with A2DP, depending on the quality. With simple non-Hi-Fi / non-stereo sound routing, device.exe doesn’t consume anything at all, compared to the default (sound isn’t routed) case. That is, when battery life and / or responsiveness is of paramount importance and the heavy sound quality degradation / lack of stereo, you may want to prefer the low-quality, mono but non-battery-consuming headset mode to high-quality, but heavily battery-consuming mode, which also makes your Pocket PC much less responsive.
Being able to constantly (!) route the sound of your PDA to your mono headset, first, depends on the maker of your built-in Bluetooth stack. In here, Widcomm / Broadcom users (Widcomm is used in most PDA’s with operating systems prior to WM5 except for the Phone Edition models of HTC; as far as WM5 models are concerned, all Acers, HP iPAQs have sticked with this stack; the majority of Fujitsu-Siemens Pocket PC’s (except for the T8x0) and all Dell Axims (which were all Widcomm-based in the pre-WM5 times) have switched to the Microsoft BT stack), as usual, have a lead because they don’t need additional hacks / third-party applications, as opposed to the Microsoft stack.
Widcomm / Broadcom BT stack
The newer Widcomm / Broadcom BT stack versions (starting with BT stack 1.5 built into most Widcomm-based WM2003SE devices; this is also true with 1.6 and the latest 1.7, which is used in current Widcomm-based WM5 Pocket PC’s) all natively support routing the sound to your mono headset (and, of course, vice versa) as can be seen in this and this screenshots. That is, in these devices, just go to Bluetooth Manager / New, switch the headset to discoverable mode and select Hands-free / Headset setup. After creating a shortcut to the connection, just double-click it to connect (or, press the button on your headset / switch it on; then, they may automatically connect. Note that, with some headsets (for example, the Plantronics Pulsar 590A and the Dell Axim x51v with the Widcomm BT hack, the "hacked" (see below) HP iPAQ 2210 or the WM5-upgraded iPAQ hx4700), after connection, you'll need to press the headset button once more, when you hear a ringing sound. It's only then that the sound routing will be started.)
Older Widcomm versions (up to 1.4 built into most pre-WM2003SE Pocket PC’s; for example, the HP iPAQ 2210), however, don’t offer Hands-free / Headset setup in the Bluetooth Manager, in the New / Connect! list as can be seen in the following screenshots: 1 2. There, all you will need to do is
changing HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ Widcomm\BtConfig\ Services\0005\ Enabled from 0 to 1 in the Registry as can also be seen in here. After this, a new item, Connect a headset, will be added to the above New / Connect! list as can be seen in here.
changing HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ Drivers\ BuiltIn\ WaveDev\ Dll to btceif.dll. Make sure you export (or, at least, remember) the original name of this if it's different from wavedev.dll - you'll need it when you want to switch back to the built-in speaker.
Note that this tutorial also elaborates on these two steps (it, however, adds no relevant information so you don't have to read it) and I've also uploaded two registry import files to make the switch much easier. Here's the registry import file to enable sound routing and here's the one to disable it. Also note that you must reset your device after applying the registry changes as, unlike the BT stack-only hacks, which "only" make it necessary to restart the BT stack itself, the second, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ Drivers\ BuiltIn\ WaveDev\ Dll hack, will only be used after a reset because it's a system-wide hack.
After this hack, you can go on as usual: after selecting Connect a headset, the device will find the headset, you just enter the PIN (0000 or, in very few cases, 1234) and, by clicking Finish here, let the system create the shortcut for you.
Note that, despite being able to connect to the headset now, these "hacked" pre-WM2003SE devices are not guaranteed to flawlessly work with the headsets. For example, some HP WM2003 Pocket PC models are known not to be able to use them at all; for example, the HP iPAQ 4150. Unfortunately, in these cases, installing the well-known HP 1.6 BT update (see my A2DP articles on what it is) doesn’t help either: as opposed to the registry hack (which doesn’t help with this BT stack version any more) it won’t list “Connect to headset” (or, as it's called in never, 1.5+ Widcomm versions, Hands-free / Headset setup) any more in New (1 2 3) and, when you directly discover the services of a headset and select the (only) “Headset” profile they offer, connection attempts will always fail.
Microsoft BT stack
The situation is in no way so easy as with the Widcomm BT stack as it’s only with phone calls (if the device contains a phone at all) that it will actively use the headset, nothing else (for example, music, GPS instructions etc).
Therefore, you’ll need to use third-party applications to re-route the sound.
There are several solutions to this problem:
BTAudio 810 (also see this and this thread). Works great on the Wizard (with the 2.26 Molski ROM) but not on the Axim x51v (none of the audio re-routing solutions worked on it; therefore, you may end up having to install the Widcomm BT stack on it, which also offers flawless sound redirection to mono, non-A2DP headsets).
Installation: The ZIP file contains three files; just copy them anywhere on your Pocket PC (simply BTAudioToggle.exe may be enough) and, when you want to toggle the sound target, just execute BTAudioToggle.exe (or, alternatively, when you want to start/stop the sound routing, execute BTAudioOn.exe/BTAudioOff.exe, respectively.)
TP.com Btaudio (also see this) didn’t offer anything of importance in the case of the x51v either: with my AKU2.3 A12 ROM, the PDA still wouldn’t discover the Hands-free profile of my headset (only the wireless stereo, but it, in our case, has no use at all). It didn't work on my Wizard either. You may have better luck though; also make sure you read the linked thread (and also look around for other, related threads at XDA-Developers.)
Installation: The downloadable ZIP file contains a CAB file; just install it on your PDA.
Bluetooth sound: (also see this): while it’s reported to work great on the HTC TyTN (Hermes), it has no effect on the Dell Axim x51v / HTC Wizard at all (and is also reported not to work on the HTC Universal either). After installing it, BTAudio 810 stopped working; fortunately, the uninstall worked OK and, then, BTAudio 810 started to work again.
Installation: The downloadable ZIP file contains a CAB file; just install it on your PDA.
Teksoft's BlueMusic: (also see this): you may want to give this title a try too. It doesn’t work on my HTC Wizard (only if you previously enable sound re-routing with BTAudio 810; then, it’ll be able to switch it off and on but this functionality can also be used with the “original” BTAudio 810 and, therefore, there is not much point in installing (and, for that matter, paying for) BlueMusic in addition to the free and smaller BTAudio 810) and Axim x51v, but others have reported success with other models.
Installation: Install the software following the tutorial in install.en.txt in the downloadable ZIP file.
BTAudioNav by infamous PPC hacker, co-author of the Dell Axim x50/x51 Widcomm BT stack hack beemer: this hack allows for redirecting the sound of a particular (for example, GPS) application only. It also makes sure it reconnects to the headset after a phone call, unlike (some of?) the alternatives. It's available here; if you don't want to register yourself in the forum to be able to download the file, you can also get it from here (I've mirrored it there). Please see either the above (Spanish) thread or beemer's comments here for more information on the usage.
Verdict
If you have the Microsoft BT stack, check out BTAudio 810 first - or beemer's BTAudioNav. It’s the smallest and cleanest, free solution, which seems to be working just great. If you have the Widcomm BT stack, just use the built-in headset redirection capabilities (with the necessary hacking with earlier BT stacks if needed).

Results of BTAudio 810 on Blackjack
Prior to using BTAudio 810 on my Blackjack, I found that I could listen to WMP using a wired headset (though the volume was very low), but it would not send WMP audio to my Jabra BT350. Regular phone operation with the Jabra worked fine.
When I tried the BTAudio 810, I could hear a slight hiss in my Jabra, as if something was happening, but alas no WMP audio was coming through. Notably, WMP audio was no longer coming through the device speaker. I switched to the Notes app and recorded a note through the Jabra - that worked.
I looked around for reasons why BTAudio wouldn't work on the Blackjack, and didn't find much. There was a xda dev thread that hypothesized that Samsung had done something with the audio gateway portion of the MS BT stack.
I'm still hoping for a solution to get audio to my Jabra.
what works???
There has to be someone out there who has found something that works. i am getting desperate. i have tried every program out there and nothing works. i have the same problem. i here a hiss but nothing works. is there a hack that can rewrite the BT stack or something!!!!

Blackjack Mono Bluetooth
Still nothing related to piping the audio through a standard Bluetooth headset on the Samsung i607 Blackjack? I'm simply shocked that the stack is implemented in such a proprietary way. I just can't seen using a full Stereo Bluetooth Headset at work or anywhere else for that matter. If anyone has any info on whether or not Samsung is planning to fix this issue (and when), please post... I'm definitely willing to wait for a fix, or even a Bluetooth earbud that supports A2DP. Thanks!

BT AudioNav
For the record, I used BTAudioNav for a couple of days, using it to invoke TomTom v6. The audio connection worked flawlessly, but it seemed to cause TomTom to lag badly. It consistently gave instructions 200-800 metres later than it should (distance was speed dependent). I was warned of a radar camera after I had passed it ... not fun eh?
I dropped it and went on with my search for the ideal. Just installed the Mortscript solution provided several posts higher so we'll see how things work when I drive home tonight
<update>Didn't work. TomTom failed to come through the headset. Perhaps I was doing something wrong so I'll re-read everything tonite.</update>
<ashamed>Me again ... Ignore the last load of rubbish </ashamed>
I installed to non-default places so its no wonder I naffed up! The Mortscript/Vijay solution is giving me sound, and resets itself after I've switched to voice command with the phone button, and after I've received a phonecall. Tom Tom will have to wait 'till I go home this p.m. but right now I have to say ... YAAAHOOOOOO !!

Motorola H350 also works fine.
Compatability
Scala 700 works fine
Nokia hs-12w is also working fine.
With my SonyEricsson k800i I can use HID and control the P3600.
Plantronics 590A - perfect. It even switches from TV source to phone when somebody is calling. Previous/next track works. Redial works. All features fully work with Trinity. EXCELLENT
One strange thing though: I was listening to music on Trinity and paused it from the headset. After one minute Trinity went to sleep, screen went off. I pressed resume on headset and the music started again with screen remaining COMPLETELY OFF. However, a few seconds later the music stopped just when I was beginning to think I discovered a way to keep music playing with screen light off .
Next few tries whenever I press resume on headset screen starts and music resumes normally.
Successfully tested with a samsung WEP185 !

JABRA BT-320s Stereo Headphone.
I bought this 2 days ago and I struggled to connect it with the Trinity. Here are the problems I came up against.
1. Mono (not stereo) sound using Media Player (WMP). Found this registry hack in other threads ---> Set HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Bluetooth/A2DP/Settings/[UseJointStereo = 0] (was 1 decimal).
2. WMP stalls briefly from time to time. From the same thread:
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Bluetooth/A2DP/Settings/[BitPool = 45] (was 30decimal).
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Bluetooth/A2DP/Settings/[MaxSupportedBitPool = 45] (was 30 decimal).
3. When handsfree to phone, the bt320s would drop out while the caller was connected. I tried a hard reset of Trinity in case there was a conflict with other software. This didn't help. I then found an undocumented way to reset the bt320s and that fixed it. It is now working well for listening to music, handling calls or using the Voice Speed Dial . To reset the bt320s:
a. Turn off the bt320s.
b. Connect and disconnect the bt320s to its charger 3 times leaving it on the charger for 3-5 seconds each time.
c. Delete the bt320s partnership on the PDA
d. Pair the bt320s to the PDA again.
Big thanks to all others on this forum and other forums for their help.

Unfortunately these features are not supported.
I THINK that the A2DP profile doesn't cover sending music file metadata at all (I am not sure)
Thanks for your help, but i am curious about this functionality. Does anyone know if these headset show the song playing when used with a sony mobile?

And with mortplayer, with coreplayer in a future revision and with 40th iplay.
By the way, I have a DS970 too, and when I receives an incoming call I can see the caller ID but then the handsfree hangs up. Do someone has the same problem? I have this problem when I'm listening music and when I'm only connected waiting a call.
G'Day ,
Just purchased the BlueAnt Micro X3 Bluetooth Headset for my Dopod D810. So far very nice, works extremely well, great range and no static. Only very slight echo. I will be sending Blueant an email to see if they have a solution or fix.
Here is a link:
http://www.blueant.com.au/X3_micro_Bluetooth_Headset.htm
The unit itself is very small, but comfortable a lot nicer than my previous Nokia 202 which produced a lot of static.

hey guy,
I'm having problems getting this thing to work properly, i've searched and searched and can't seem to find anyone else with this problem:
Device pairs fine and seems to function perfectly as a handsfree, however, using media player the audio comes out of the phone even as the 'click' sound effects are coming out the headset! Can't seem to get any audio from media player or core player to come out the headset, the 'htc streaming media player' uses the headset but you can't open files etc using that.
I've tried with WM5 and WM6, same results.
Anyone faced this problem before?
Hi
I've just purchased this headset last week and am thoroughly impressed by it so far. There's not much info on it out there but theres a few characteristics I've found out about this headset; i wonder if you can help me confirm them.
- It seems like when you take the headset off your head it automatically turns off? at first I thought mine was faulty but this behaviour was quite consistent and I figured it was just a power saving feature.
- seems like it likes to turn by itself if idle quite fast.
- need to manually set the device as hands free for it to actually work as a hands free
- unable to use the mic when connecting to pc. I wanted to use it for my sip client on the pc but alas the microphone function doesn't register? What should I be doing to make this work?
In regards to your problem; I'll outline the steps I take to use mine.
1. turn on headset
2. turn on trinity bluetooth from comm manager
3. go to bluetooth settings from settings
4. touch and hold down the nokia bh501 item until the drop down menu appears ,then select "set as wireless audio" or similar
--> you should hear a sound, if you can hear this then it will work, if theres nothing
--> alternatively, select hands free if you want to use it as hands free!
5. open your favorite mp3's and it should work fine.
Does this work for you? Btw im using Mun's TE wm6 rom. What rom are u using?
Eureka!
Your post made me realise I had only tried the headset with AAC files and not MP3 and guess what? The headset only works with MP3 files! Although this is probably a limitation of the trinity.
I can also confirm it doesn't work with nerodigital video files.
I'm using the GPS enabled WM5 Ship ROM.
I'll do some more tests on different media files, it would be a real shame if we're limited to only MP3s...
EDIT: Wow the sound quality is amazing and the bass is fantastic!
I haven't tried playing AAC files because I haven't got any...I specifically converted all my formats so I could use GS player. I'm pretty sure the headset can play WMA as well..I haven't really tested...
The next thing I notice is this constant high pitch ringing or hissing sound...It's very uncomfortable.
I've seen reports of this all over the forum in regards to the Triity, let's hope there is a fix available soon.
wma file work.
i have wm6 and a motorola ht820 and it works great. the only thing is that the perfomance of the trinity decrease while i'm using the bluetooth-headset.

hey guy,
I'm having problems getting this thing to work properly, i've searched and searched and can't seem to find anyone else with this problem:
Device pairs fine and seems to function perfectly as a handsfree, however, using media player the audio comes out of the phone even as the 'click' sound effects are coming out the headset! Can't seem to get any audio from media player or core player to come out the headset, the 'htc streaming media player' uses the headset but you can't open files etc using that.
I've tried with WM5 and WM6, same results.
Anyone faced this problem before?

My touch pro seems to have real bluetooth issues with my JVC KD-NX5000 stereo system. My kaiser worked flawlessly with it but with the touch pro it wont pair at times and when it does it wont let me use any of the many functions that the stereo offers (voice dialing, downloaded phonebook, etc) I assume this is a problem with the ms bluetooth stack and was wondering how tough of a job it would be to switch to a broadcomm stack or if anyone has thought about making a custom rom with the broadcomm stack. Just curious if Im the only one with issues with wm 6.1 and bluetooth.
i have the same problem with my diamnd anbd jvc car audio
Slightly OT rant:-
I had the opposite problem with pioneer + broadcom...
Pioneer only looks for handsets which identify themselves as phone or smartphone, and my device identified itself as a pda.
I actually told pioneer about the problem, and rather than forwarding on to the developers, I got a stock reply:-
"This phone is not on our compatibility list" (so we don't care)
So I went and got an MS based phone (you can change it to smartphone with a regedit).
Never buying pioneer again...

Similiar issue with my opel carkit.
Tried to make the broadcom stack working, but got a memory error when opening its blue tooth manager.
After uninstalling, bluetooth didn't work at all anymore, needed to perform a hard reset.
Has anyone successfully installed the broadcom BT stack on the touchpro/raphael?
I found that my Touch Pro would pair and then drop out when connecting to my Kenwood DDX5032 car stereo bluetooth adaptor. I couldn't dial from the Kenwood kit, couldn't use A2DP (wouldn't even connect), and really couldn't use any Headset Profile functions at all.
I persisted with pairing and unpairing in different ways (you can initiate the pairing from the Kenwood itself rather than the phone), but nothing really worked.
Then trinode's post about changing a registry setting sent me down that track and now everything is working fine
I found the relevant setting from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=290871, which is [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\sys\COD], and then changed the HTC TP default value of '5898764' (decimal), to the value from my old Dopod838Pro, which was '5374228' (in decimal).
I didn't even need to repair the Kewood to the HTC TP - it just worked straight away, as if it said "Oh, sorry, did you want me to work? I thought you wanted me to be in 'stupid' mode! My bad - everything will work now."
So all good, and thanks to trinode for pointing me in the right direction.
Codenix.
After hard-resetting my Touch Pro to fix another separate issue, now this problem has come back and this time changing the COD value hasn't fixed it. It would appear my previous post may have attributed my success to the wrong thing
The search for the answer continues!
I found a firmware update for my Kenwood's bluetooth adaptor which fixed the problem. I don't know why it ever worked at all before this update, but there you go!
I'll create a separate thread to share this with others in case anyone else out there has a Kenwood bluetooth kit and a Touch Pro or a Diamond.
Thanks.

@ Trinode
Pioneer sent my unit back, but never told me that my phone was not supported. Where did you flag the smartphone in the registry? Did it fix the BT connection/unti reboot issue? I had a AVIC F500BT (sold it) now have a AVIC X910BT same issue as the 500 had.
@ Trinode. I found the hack , tried it, but it still doesn't resolve my issue. Are there any other mods out there for the BT Stack prob?
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.
Car: MB E-Class
Phone: Sprint HTC Touch
OS: WM 6.5
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
