How to find out what Bluetooth device is connected - Touch Cruise General

Hi,
I have an Orbit 2 and some Gear4 BT headphones - these don't connect automatically as a wireless stereo device (other ones I've tried do) - no matter - I've knocked up a MortScript to automate the connection process.
I now have a new Bluetooth car kit, which supports audio streaming to my stereo (Blaupunkt - very nice). It also fails to autoconnect. So now I need to modify my script to deal with 2 devices.
Does anyone know where in the registry I can find out the device ID or name of the currently connected BT handsfree device? (the handsfree portion auto connects for both). Then I can use this info to force the stereo streaming connection for the desired device.
Thanks in advance,

How do I route (phone) audio to computer via BT?

Hi guys,
I have an XDA ATOM and a BT dongle using Bluesoleil.
I've paired them both up and I am able to use the computer as a "Wireless Stereo" - thus rerouting music/sounds to be played via the computer speakers. Now I can play mp3's and other audio from my PDA direct on my computer speakers.
This is great, but not exactly what I hoped for. I was hoping to route the phone audio instead ("Wireless Headset"). That is, routing the audio that I hear when I'm in a phone call. I've configured the Bluesoleil application to have the "Wireless Headset" service enabled, along with all the other services.
The weird thing is, my Atom only shows up "Serial Port" and "Wireless Stereo" when paired with my computer.
Any ideas on how I could get it working?
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
You need to set yr Atom as Handsfree in yr Bluesoliel BT Software....

Hi,
Thanks for replying.
How exactly do I do that? I dont get any options which I can change when I'm pairing up the ATOM with my computer. It pairs up as a "Device name" and then BlueSoleil picks up all the services the ATOM is compatible with, ie. DUN/File Transfer. It doesnt seem like its possible to specify the ATOM to be a handsfree device in BlueSoleil itself.
look for the services after the device discovery..there are options for BT Audio..
I'm able to connect to my computer and use the Audio Gateway (in the headset mode) (computer is being used as the headset)
I can enable the handsfree when in a call. I'm able to see the number of the caller on my computer when the phone rings. I can answer the call from my computer.
Problem is I can't hear a thing.
I have switched the audio mixers between Realtek AC97 Audio (my soundcard), Bluetooth Audio and Bluetooth High Quality Audio and I still can't hear a thing. Is there a way to map my BT dongle's audio gateway output to my soundcard?
BUMP.... anybody?
The BlueSoliel software is notoriously crap, it's why it's used on all the cheap dongles, because they charge so much less for their licenses.
This should work fine with the Widcomm bluetooth stack on your PC, I have done this before as it was nice to use my PC's headset while I was gaming to take calls also.
Haven't tried it in a couple of years though, but it definately worked with Widcomm.
if i were to get a bluetooth dongle i would buy one directly from broadcom
(who makes the widcomm software)
because even if other makers also license the software
broadcom release firmware to match the later versions of widcomm
if other dongle makers dont newer versions of widocmm dont work or dont work very well with the software
Well that's the thing... with Blue Soliel I would expect this kind of a problem, but I have a dongle which uses the Widcomm Stack. I've tried everythign possible and yet no sound. I even tried it with another laptop which was using a Blue Soliel donle... tried doing it both ways... ie accessing sound on both ends... but nothing.
BUMP........

A2DP Problem??

Was wondering how i can set my device to auto-connect with my Pioneer stereo.
This is the initial problem:
I pair my Raphael with my Pioneer car stereo - When I initially pair the BT to my stereo i get hands free and wireless stereo, however after this when my phone connects it only connects to the hands free. IT WILL NOT CONNECT AGAIN UNLESS THE PARTNERSHIP IS DELETED AND RE-ADDED - it will not pair if i click "set as wireless stereo" in the bluetooth settings of the phone, or when I click play on my car stereo.
I want when the phone so that when it comes into range of my stereo that it auto connects to both A2DP and hands free, I also want this to be automatic, ie not using A2DPToggle.
Any help would be appriciated
Thanks in advance,
Kris Bennett
a2dp problem
same problem here... i have to delete the device everytime,refresh, search and reconnect to use the a2dp function. handsfree for calling mobile works fine..
need some help.. may be a little tweak in the bluetooth function..
thanks
Same here most times - although occasionally it works OK... very annoying!
You might check your Pioneer manual. I have a Sony BT CD player and I have to push the number 6 on the head unit to reconnect it everytime I get in my car. I wish it automatically connected but this is quite easy for me. I would have never figured it out if I didn't read the manual.
I have checked the manuals and there is no mention of needing to push anything on the deck. I want my phone to auto connect - i know that this must be possible to do when it connects with my hands free as a2dp Toggle does it, but you have to press a button on the prog that connects it , I want it to be automatic
yeah, ive always had that problem with my pioneer headunit
Same problem for my TP with Jabra Speakerphone. any update?

Goto your Bluetooth settings and enable "Make this device visible to other devices" , should solve your problem. I also have a Pioneer BT headunit in my car, and that corrected it.

Mac A2DP as an input?

Hey, I'm not stranger to A2DP (Bluetooth Stereo) but I was wondering, the Mac supports A2DP output (to my headphones for example) but will it take it as an input?
I mean, when I pair my Pocket PC and my Mac, my phone only picks up Serial Port and Active Sync, but I imagine it's just because the bluetooth device is not showing it as a potential protocol.
Does anyone know of anyway I could achieve some form of A2DP input?
Sam
If our windows mobile device provides the bluetooth headset service you can connect to it as such, it'll show up in the device menu under the bluetooth menu bar icon.

Bluetooth Headset Switching using Today Plugin

Does an application exist that will allow my WM device (Sony X1) to easily switch between mulitple paired headset / bluetooth devices.
I have my device paired with my car bluetooth kit, a A2DP headphones and an in-ear bluetooth handsfree device.
Each time I wish to use one of them I have to into Comms Manager etc ... so a today / homescreen plugin would be most useful
Cheers SB.

Odd Concept- Using a phone as a BT headest for a computer.. With a wired headset.

Yes, that's exactly what I'm looking for. I lost my BT headset I used for online gaming, yet I have a perfectly fine Fuze that works well with my Plantronics headset that I use for my xbox.
Is it possible to use the fuze as a rx/tx passthrough unit for a wired headset?
Basically:
Wired headset > Fuze with Bluetooth turned on > Fuze synched to computer with bluetooth > Chatting with wired headset through the Fuze's bluetooth in online games.
Not odd at all
I would also love thing like this
I think if the bluetooth software on the computer
support audio gateway
and the x1 show up as supporting audio gateway bluetooth profile
when one bound it
then one can pick the x1 as soundcard to be used
in audio settings in control panel in pc windows
and it should work
Well I am using Bluesoleil on my laptop with Bluetooth v1.2 which actually connects well even to my A2DP dongle with full stereo sound even if it is not v2. But when I browse the services of my Raphael, the comp shows only Dial-Up Networking, Object Push and PAN... no Advanced Audio or Headset. Maybe I would need to configure the raphael somehow?

After doing some research, it would definitely have to be added in by way of some third party app. There are only two or three phones out there that support this. Essentially, a deal was made to where phone manufactures wouldn't include the Advanced Audio or Headset profile in their phones.
I don't see why someone couldn't make a program for this though.
I have been looking to do this with other HTCs for more than a year.
So far I can only say it's not possible as it's not supported by the WM BT stack.
