All audio through bluetooth? - Touch Pro, Fuze General

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?

Get yourself an A2dp headset. Pair it to your device and you're done.

I have a BlueTrek G2 bluetooth-headset. I think I must install first a special driver (widcomm??) to hear music through this type of device.

No, you should not have to do this. A2DP works really well out of the box, I've paired it to 3 different A2DP devices issues. Do you have MS VoiceCommand installed? I have had conflicts with MS VoiceCommand and A2DP where after using VC no sound comes out from A2DP, but I haven't had the time to play around and figure what prompts the issue as it doesn't happen consistently.
EDIT: It wasn't MS VoiceCommand that was causing my issues. It was having the phone on vibrate. That stops sound from coming over A2DP, as does pressing the volume down button (duh, stupid me).
I just paired it, and it worked (Jabra BT620s.) Make sure you check the correct box for what feature to use when pairing.
does it work at samsung wep210 any setting need to change?
Hmmm... I can not make it work with my car stereo (Pioneer DEH-P75BT).
Anyone succeded in making it work with Pioneer car stereo DEH series?
P75BT just sits there and waits for connection, even if it is already connected and functional as handsfree device...

Handsfree and A2DP are two different things. The Bluetooth Handsfree profile is intended for making phone calls (speak). That's your old school lousy quality mono headset. The A2DP profile on the other hand has decent quality stereo streaming but is only supported by newer devices.
Are you sure your Pioneer supports the 'real' A2DP? And if it supports both, Handsfree and A2DP, make sure you select the right service when connecting.
Hmmm... here's quote from device's brochure:
Make calls and stream music via your Bluetooth CD Tuner - the DEH-P75BT supports both handsfree and audio profiles from your mobile phone.
But, good question is does music streaming support real A2DP... Wireless stereo might not be A2DP compatible...

Bluetooth headset.

What bluetooth headsets will work with the touch diamond?
other question: why should there be any headsets not working?
i have a really cheap but nice looking samsung headset, no problem to get paired with the diamond. should work with any other headset, too!?
My existing is just a cheap iTouch bluetooth headset and it works perfectly.
I don't think Diamond has any problem to work with other brands.
I have an old Motorola Bluetooth headset (4 Years) and it will not pair with my Diamond. Looks like its time to upgrade to a Jawbone!! hehehe
i have the jabra bt3030
its a stereo bluetooth headset working on A2DP
works great and looks awesome!!
So can I listen to music through any bluetooth headset (that has headsets to play music)?
My Plantronics P590 works like a charm

Say something about the sound, it is better (or/and louder) then original HS or same quality?
Here you go!

Theres a app called btAudio (keep a google-eye open for newer versions) that does exactly this, it will send ALL sound to the headset, despite of what windows had in mind for the sound (as in if it was gonna use headset or build-in speaker)
Tho, it sometimes chokes when you dont shut down the app before you disable the bluetooth headset or phones bluetooth function, but i guess that kinda makes sense (its even sayd in the program to not do that, but im a sucker for trying such things hehe)
And another thing, this happend for me too (taken from comments on some site, linked below)
The program runs well however if you try to make a phone call with the blue tooth ear piece while the program is active the program is not available after the call is completed.
I had to reset my phone to enable the program again. - source of comment
Guess thats related to windows not being to happy theres multiple apps using the headset, lets hope for a next version which auto-disables when calling and re-enables when u hang up.
I'm waiting for this one (Jabra BT530, due end August according to Play.com)...
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/16778.htm
Got the manual that Jabra put up on their support site for a day or two before taking it off. Manual says it also supports A2DP and can stream music.
And what about battery life? Could somebody using bluetooth stereos write how long the Diamond can last, and what is the overall impact on battery life while listening to music?
I use this headset, its got very good sound and is also nice and comfortable, since i have my tragus peirced i cant wear "normal" headphones!
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-DRBT20...6?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1216998998&sr=8-6
It also works on my pc and my PS3 as a wireless headset/mic!
I have proper enclosed stereo headphones Dell DH-200 with volume control, next and previous track plus play/pause buttons and it all works fine with HTC DT. The only think I am not sure about is which profile it is using, the sound is not as good as when I have it paired with my laptop, which would suggest a low speed profile as opposed to HQ.
You can change the bluetooth profile in Schap's Advanced Config. I've set bitpool to 70, max to 76 and min to 64. Now the sound quality is waaay better.
I can't connect my Jabra 320's (worked with SE W880i) to BT Stereo, it only see's the headphones as a handsfree unit on the HTC
Jawbone. Nothing else comes close (for hands free anyway!). And the new one even matches the Diamond... sort of!
Has anyone suffered the sound periodically dropping out for a second or two, mainly during the first minutes of connection but still persisting now and again several tracks down the playlist?

Help with blue tooth music streaming

Hey All,
I have a Diamond, and a cardo rider Q2 for my motorbike helmet. They pair up nicely for phone calls, but I cannot get music to stream to the helmet.
All other functions work fine. If I press a button on the phone the sound of the button comes through.
The annoying thing is that my friend has a N95 and it works just fine, so I know the headset is capable.
Is there some setting that I need to change? Or a download to fix this?
Any help would be appreciated. And please take it easy on me as I am not very capable with technology.
Thanks In advance
Adam
Adam,
Double click on the icon of the paired headphones on the bluetooth screen and make sure that Wireless Stereo is ticked.
The system is using two profiles- one for phone calls (headphones) and the other for music (Wireless Stereo). Yout helmet BT earphones should be able to switch in between as long as they are enabled.
CD
Hey CD, thanks, I tried that, but..
When I do that it only gives me the option of "hands free".
If I plug in my wired HTC head phones while maintaining the blue tooth connection to my helmet and play music the music comes through the wired headset, but when I try to voice activate an outgoing phone call the music changes from the wired headset to the bluetooth headset temporarily.
I have the same problem (posted on another thread) Jabra 320's I use to cycle to work, worked OK with my SE W880i. But like you the TD only registers 'hands free', I have checked the profile in BT and it only shows hands free, there is no BT Stereo box to tick/untick. I have tried installing/uninstalling and using a third party BT program (recommend in a previous thread) and have just upgraded to the new official Rom all to no avail.
I think the TD likes some stereo headset's but sees some others as just a mono handsfree unit.

I have the same Jabra 320's... finally got them working as Wireless stereo pressing the main button again and again during pairing... I didn't know it was going to work - It was out of frustration!!!
I tried several times with my 320's (deleted, re-installed, tried different ways/software) all to no avail.
There is a software upgrade for the 320's on the Jabra site but you need a special usb connector to flash the unit.
In the end I picked up the newer BT3030 cheaply on e-bay and they were recognised straight away as Handsfree and stereo BT streaming.
Both the 320's and 3030's have the A2DP profile, so not sure why the don't see the 320's correctly?
So happily cycling to work again with the BT3030 and listening to BT stereo.
In order for you to do what you want your headset must support A2DP Bluetooth profile (and even if it does it may not work!). That is the profile needed to send stereo music from the HTC. Most handsfree units do not do that - they just support headset and handset Bluetooth profiles.
There is a utility available called BTMusic that can be downloaded free from here. This will allow music to be sent using the headset or handset Bluetooth profiles, and it worked with my Parrot car kit, so it may work for you. The problem is that it is mono only and the quality of the sound is not brilliant - after all these profiles were never designed for that.
So the alternative is to find a new headset that supports both handsfree and A2DP profiles and works with both.
umm yea... i went through EVERY SINGLE thread this thing has. none of the programs work for me period.

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?

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.

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?

Bluetooth with headphone jack connected problem

Here is my problem, I connect my phone to my car radio using a speaker cord connected to the headphone jack of the phone which works great. Problem is when I try to then make a call using my Q2 bluetooth headset. I can make the call, but it reverts back to the car speakers and not through the bluetooth device and the microphone on the bluetooth doesn't work either. It uses the samsung microphone.
Is this a setting issue, or do I need to unplug the speaker cord from the headphone jack every time I try to make a call?
Just found another similar thread. Still no answers?

I too would like to know if there is a way to make it work. so far the only thing that works is unplugging the cable to talk on bluetooth. which is kinda defeats the purpose of hands free. I am rooted and still can't find a solution. if you find any hack please post it here!
one other way is to buy a BT receiver that has audio and phone, but i kinda want to keep my integrated one.

Found it today. I was reviewing a post and poster (cant remember who!) mentioned he had a defective headset and used SoundAbout from the playstore to fix it. That got me curious, so I opened the app description and found that it would help with our problem. I downloaded the free version then the paid version $2.99 and it works. I am so happy you can not imagine. care the settings that worked for me:
Headset Plug in/out, checked.
Headset microphone, checked.
Notification Audio, checked.
Media audio, wired headphones
Bluetooth behavior, Bluetooth disconnected, checked
Bluetooth Auto Enable, checked
Phone call audio, Wired Headphones (but keeps reverting back to "Let Phone Decide" for some reason!)
I will email the developer and see if he has a solution and post back, but this is not a show stopper by any means.
Buy the paid version and enjoy the SG3 the way it should have worked out of the box.
