always use the phone's built-in mic

Is there any reg hack or other solution to use the phone's built-in mic even when headphones are connected?

yes, i am looking into this too atm, i have an advantage but when i wanna take a call and dont have the bluetooth activated; it stays on speaker or if i plug in the earpieces; the mic is deactivated

Can you listen to FM radio through bluetooth or main speaker?

Just wondering.
thanks

Through the main speaker you can. A headset should be connected though since it works as an antenna. The FM Radio application does not start with no headset connected. I never tried bluetooth.

Very interesting

Does this mean you can switch output between the headset and the main speaker throught the FM Radio application? If set to the speaker, does that output *all* audio through the main speaker or only the FM Radio output?
If all audio comes out of the main speaker that would mean there ought to be a way to bypass the (otherwise know as hardware-) trigger for the headset.
TIA,

Yes, that's correct.

You mean allowing the FM Radio program to run without the headset? Yes, you can already do that with a registry change (someone mentioned in another thread). But I don't see the point of that, as you get zero signal without the headset.
Apart from the headset, you can also plug in the 3-in-1 adapter or the USB to 3.5mm adapter, and the FM Radio program would run.

Hi,
No, that is not what I mean. What I would like to know is if you turn on the radio and set it to output to the main speaker do all other WM sounds (notifications, ringtone or even an MP3 playing with a mediaplayer) also come through the main speaker, even though the headset is plugged in.
It would proof that there must be a way to output sound to the main speaker when a wired headset is connected. A thing that is normaly (or on non FM Radio equiped phones) not possible.
Please give it a try and let me know. And if you have the time, give me a total registry dump of a situation where the headset is selected as output and a complete dump with the main speaker selected. That would make my day
Thanks,
Cheers,
Cacti

And of course, your suspicion is correct. I tried it and could confirm that WM sounds still went through headset. I tried setting the alarm. When the alarm went off, the sound (all the sound, FM Radio + alarm tone) switched to headset automatically. And when I dismiss the notification, it switched back to speaker. And the media player cannot run together with the FM radio. Once I starts the media player, the FM Radio closes.

Hi,
This isn't the answer I was hoping for, but thanks anyway. I gues it means the FM Radio has it's own audio handling. Bummer!

its weak they still havent done this yet chinese rip off phones have dvb-t radio via bt

Problems with bluetooth interface for car audio

Hello, first of all please excuse my English, I am from Germany and I try to ask for some help here.
I bought this nice little toy named Topaz a few weeks ago. Yesterday I added a bluetooth interface from Blaupunkt for my car audio "Blaupunkt Milano MP34".
Its just an extension for the missing bt ability of the radio. For handsfree and A2DP profiles.
After connecting, it works great and with the external mike I can manage phone calls via car laoudspeakers.
A2DP also works, but here is the problem: there is no auto-connection of A2DP like the handfree-profile autoconnects the car unit and the Topaz after ignition.
Every time I have to connect it manually:
- after an ended phone call
- after starting the engine even when the interface is connected
This is very very annoying, inconvenient and tedious, after a phone call the manual connection while the car is running is even dangerous.
My question: Is there any software or a plugin to make an automatic connection for the A2DP profile when the ignition gets on??
Thank you very much in advance....
greetings from Cologne, Germany, yours Wolfgang

I have exactly the same issue, see my post here for improving the a2dp quality. I haven't managed to fix the re-connection issue but as a work around I have installed this app and have maped it to one of the hardware buttons. So now i just have to hold the button and the a2dp connection fires up!! Hope it works ok for you.
Would be interested to know if anyone else has had the a2dp re-connection issue and if they've fixed it. It only happens in the car as described by porzerwolle, my bluetooth headset re-connects every time!

thank you very much, for the tool and the information. It seems to be impossible to auto-reconnect the device with a BT radio or BT interface.
I'm using "A2DPSwitch" for a while and it works perfect. I set it on button1 "hold long" and I can switch between device and BT interface with a one-button-push now.
In matter of fact, my Plantronics BT headset 590E (it is very, very good!!) autoconnects Handsfree within seconds, and connects A2DP immediately when I push the play/pause button. In the Windows Media Player, the Blaupunkt interface supports AVCRP!! I can use NextTitle, TitleBefore, Play/pause, Fast Forward & Fast Rewind!!!
Sound quality of Plantronics is perfect, like wired unit, but quality of BT transmission between Blaupunkt and Diamond² is inacceaptable caused by extreme static noise - worse than an FM Transmitter.....
Wanted to use the S2P for this, but the sound quality via BT is poor and lousy....
In the moment, I use Pocket Player 3.6, not so comfortable as S2P, but it works..... there I have a ten-band EQ and the possibility to control Master Volume
I will try this registry settings, but when there is no improvement, I will decide to buy the BRODIT active car charger with a 3-in-1 adapter and manage the sound output via AUX-IN by the Blaupunkt radio input.

Let us know how you get on with the registry settings. I too have a Blaupunkt head unit, an OEM one mind, but noticed a huge difference after modifying the registry.
G

do you have a Blaupunkt "headset" or an interface for the car radio??
Never seen a headset manufactured by Blaupunkt.....
I will tell you if there is any improvement after changing the registry. Will do this on the next weekend bc I'm very busy in the moment.

I have this adaptor connected to my blaupunkt head unit in the car.

Just to inform that it works perfectly on my side with my Audi A4 B8 and the audi built in bluetooth system... lucky me
I haven't add any third party software on my D2

mmm, it doesn't connect to my BMW X3 built in bluetooth, my former device (Polaris - cruise) did it seamlessy
Any fix known to improve compatibility?
Thx

now I changed the registry settings for BT stacks as told in the thread. Before i installed HD tweak and changed the settings for BT audio, the value for SampleRate were preinstalled by HD Tweak for 48000! I erased the two values and the Plantronics seems to be louder and more brilliant....
will test the changes on Blaupunkt interface tomorrow because today my car is not available.....but I think the reason for the hiss may be the low BT input signal on BT in the radio.
will tell you if there is any improvement. Thanks a lot in advance!
Greetz from Cologne, Wolfgang

now there is a little improvement in audio bt quality, less hiss and noise, but still there is some. I can't understand but maybe the bt input signal is too low.
in the moment it is working so I'm a little satisfied with the changes.
Don't know exactly in the moment if to keep in in this state or to switch to aux-in input with hiding the necessary cables and wires inside the car's cockpit.....
maybe will check out several bt car radios at my dealer to know if there are some devices which are able to produce noise- and hissfree bt audio.

today I tried BT connection both for HF and A2DP on a colleague's car with a SONY radio MEX-BT2600.
The difference was amazing! I was impressed by a perfect, noisefree BT audio output, very very loud and a HF phone call in perfect quality.
I think I will decide for another car audio device. Meanwhile, I'm very disappointed by Blaupunkt BT quality.

Out of interest porzerwolle, did the A2DP streaming re-connect ok on the SONY?

no, it didn't, the same as in the Blaupunkt interface: no auto-reconnect.
The Diamond² reconnects A2DP after a softreset, both Blaupunkt and the Sony, but it is not the standard procedure I want to do every time I want a BT connection

Is it possible to use the FM Radio without Headset??

Hi everybody
Is it possible to use the FM Radio without headset on hd2??
change the value in Registry HKLM/System/State/Hardware/Headset value 0 to 1 but i can´t find radioprogramms...
Do you have any idea???

the headset actually is needed because the wire also work as antenna.
So, no headset -> no wire -> no antena.
I don't know if you can change the behaviour with that registry key, but one thing that you can do is short the 3.5mm jack pinouts to simulate the headset.

Otherwise use the wonderful BRadio software.
You will be able to listen to all the radios you want without the headset... directly on the speaker.
Of course it' s streaming, so it means data.

If you short the 3.5mm jack, wouldn't be all sound transferred to "headset"?

I tested the radio app yesterday and I found that the radio can be listen through the speaker, but you still need the headset as an antenna.

Just insert a 3.5mm into the HD2, even if it's only the jack.
You have only to make the hardware to recognize that a jack is inserted
Made this on Diamond. It will work even on HD2.
But remember that the headset cable is used even as antenna, then if you don't use any cable but only a jack you'll have a bad reception

enable audio amplifier on headset plug ?

Hello, i've got a problem with the audio amplifier. I must enable it manually everytime i: Plug the headset / change album / take a call / and.. i think randomly !
There's surely a bug.. but, is a way (by cab or registry change) to enable the amplifier when i plug in the headset?
(or, in minimum, way to fix the random off )
ps: still no tricks to apmlify the sound by get off the db limitation? in registry or...
thank you
