Hi I have a new car stereo which pretends to be a a2dp headset, I use it for making hands free calls but my phone.
I also use my phone as my satnav and want to be able to hear directions but when connected to the stereo if i want to hear them i need to select bluetooth audio, but I also want to be able to listen to my radio/cd/mp3s.
Is there a way to tell my phone to use its speaker for all sound but the phone calls, in which case use the headset(stereo).
If i cant do this normally is there some software out that can do this?
If not is this possible to code myself I have some experience with wm development but nothing with regards to sound, I.e. can I listen for when a call is coming in and change sound modes?
Another option which will work just as well would be to enable both outpiuts at the same time is this possible?

Only when you receive or make a call, the voice then, will be transferred to the buletooth headset. My question is: is it possible to active it at other time other than makeing call? Thus we can use our Voice Dial softwares and listen music from XDA II.
It only can transfer the voice during the phone call to BT headset. I think O2 need to modify the Bluetooth driver to support more function on BT section (like iPAQ PPC, compaq updated the BT Driver to support listen the music on BT Headset).
Hope can heard O2 to modify the BT driver very soon, otherwise my Bt headset for O2 is not very useful !
I think except voice command, there is no missing fuction for using BT headset right now, since the quality of the speaker is horrible for listen music.
I really don't know why everyone asking for listen MP3 with BT Headset with XDA2. Is that people really enjoy listen music with one ear and low qaulity?
The XDA II has the ability to automatically answer a call after a variable number of rings to be set. However, I believe that this option only functions with the headset plug installed and then probably the BT headset won't work. Or does anyone has another idea?
Is it possible to change the register, so you can automatically transfer the call without having the plug in?

Well some people would like to have audio via Bluetooth to be able to hear Tomtom navigator over the speakers ?
Also, the SPEAKER of the XDA might be bad, that doesn't mean the audio out is bad. With a good speaker or headset quality could be al lot better...
If you use the XDA Adaptor Jabra kit for the XDA1 in the earphone socket it works fine, but if you use the headset with the direct bluetooth connection, then it doesn't.
Bluetooth Music ?
I believe that the bandwith of a Bluetooth Audio connection is far to limited to support anything resembling HiFi, not much point in listening to MP3 music that way.
For TomTom, or my Korean Language MP3 tutorial files, it should be fine though.
Luckily, the speaker is far louder than on my IPAQ 5450 going on sale, so I don't really need external speaker for TomTom.

Obvious, your not useing any of the build-in BT functions are you .
You're just getting wired audio out from the XDA/MDA. You could do that with the XDA I also, i didn't buy and XDA II for that !
All I want is a bluetooth headset for both ears that I can use to listen to music and to make calls with. Basically I want a bluetooth version of the headset that came w/ my xda II. Does anyone know of anything like this? If not, does anyone know how I might be able to "modify" a regular headset to be used via bluetooth. I want to be able to listen to music and take calls, but i want to be able to listen to music on both ears, not jus one. I don't even care if it's mono, i just want another speaker for my other ear. Please help if you can at all.
There certainly seems to be a gaping hole in the marketplace.
These people are even selling a design for some bluetooth stereo headphones, but little else comes up on a quick Google!

I want to record my phone conversations when I am using my Bluetooth headset (Because I drive alot).
At the moment it is not possible to record a conversation while using the Bluetooth headset. (I don't want to use a cable headset, because I get in and out the car alot).
The problem that occurs is that when recording with windows mobile it records your own voice, but not the voice on the other side.
I have tried with many other PocketPC's but I can't find anything that works.
Try it yourself if you don't understand whta I mean.
Does anybody have a solution for me?
Thx!
Possibly the problem is that when the headset is enabled the speaker of the phone is disabled.
So if somehow the speaker keeps working even when bluetooth headset is enabled it will record the conversation on the other side.
Hi,
I searched the forum, wiki, etc., but didn't find an answer.
I have an AT&T Fuze with the stock ROM (WM 6.1). I know the Fuze is supposed to support multiple simultaneous bt connections. What I would like to do is connect A2DP to my Pioneer stereo for music playback, and also connect handsfree to my Jawbone 2 headset for phone calls while in the car.
I can successfully connect A2DP to my stereo for music by itself.
I can successfully connect HFP to my Jawbone 2 by itself.
I *have* managed to connect to both at the same time, by staying on an active phone call with my Jawbone, then telling my Fuze to connect to the car stereo. However, no music could be heard (from either Mortplayer or WMP). The phone call stayed up just fine though.
Anyone know if there's a way to get both working at the same time?
(And before you ask, I would just use the hands-free capability of my Pioneer stereo for phone calls too, but I've found my car is too noisy for anyone to hear me with the Pioneer's microphone unless I hold it right in front of my mouth, which defeats the "hands free" goal...)
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Best,
Chris
In your case I do not think that is possible since the concept of being able to juggle 2 devices at the same time requires 1 to relinquish control while the other goes active. It turns off the music so you do not get distracted while talking and reconects the music after the call is over.
It seems to be a software protocol if anything. Yes both can be connected at the same time, but both cannot be "active" as in doing both music playback and voice calls.
I have a bt headset that handles 2 profiles at once and according to the protocol, if a call comes in, it pauses my ipod and then picks up the call and then resets back to normal after the call.. Either you have to mess with the coding itself or someone has to come up with a workaround, but I do not think that is possible.
Thanks for the reply. I had hoped it might be possible for the Fuze to route stereo audio to one BT profile (A2DP), while non-stereo audio (e.g., phone call, system tones, etc.) to the HFP profile, almost as though the profiles acted as addressable "service ports" (ala HTTP, SMTP, etc.).
But, unlike with TCP/IP, I admit to knowing next to nothing about how the BT stack works and how profiles are applied to certain types of data (or, how data is routed to a given BT association based on profile).
Thanks again,
Chris
well the thing is.. the fuze can connect to multiple devices simultaneously, but based on the music and voice call order, it is prohibited from doing both at the same time. so therefore when there is no call, the music plays, but when a call comes it, the music is paused and resumed after the call is done. (obviously the call has higher priority here).
My only suggestion is to leave it as it is since it is done so that you do not get distracted while talking and probably while you're driving.
Multitasking is difficult when you're listening to 2 things, responding to 1, and driving at the same time. The more you multitask the less you are able to devote to your main activity (in your case, driving).
but yeah. if you can find someone who can mess with that and allow for both to be active at the same time, then congrats. Otherwise just think of it as a safety measure.
Except that, when I had both the headset and the stereo connected to the Fuze, the music *didn't* pause. It just didn't output (as though the volume was muted). In fact, in both Mortplayer and WMP, it appeared as though it was playing at ~2X the normal rate (just watching the track playback time counter).
I know what you're talking about re: listen to music, call comes in, music pauses, call ends, music resumes. That's the behavior I get when I use the car stereo for both handsfree and A2DP.
The behavior when connected to two different devices seemed to be different, though, so I hoped that might mean it was in fact possible.
-Chris
yeah I know what you mean, but maybe the fact that it tried to do both tripped it up and so it took the call as a higher priority and focused the data towards the call.
atleast that is what I think.
I have almost the exact same configuration, except I am using a Sony car stereo but have a jawbone. What I have to do every time I get in the car is the following.
1. Let my stereo connect to both hands free and wireless headphone services.
2. Open bluetooth settings
3. Manually connect to my Jawbone.
It works great.
ATT Fuze
Energy Rom 072209
Old jawbone
Sony XPLOD Car Stereo
I'll also add it's pretty neat to be able to push the jawbone to activate MS Voice Commander and choose what music I want to play over my car stereo.

Thanks for the reply. I'll give that a shot. I'm not sure that my Pioneer stereo will automatically connect both handsfree and A2DP. I know it will do handsfree automatically. We'll see...

Hello everyone,
I have a specific problem with a bluetooth device and with my limited knowledge I haven't worked out how to fix it, so I am asking for your help. I will explain it best I can...
I have a third-party bluetooth stereo in my car that has a built in mic for voice calls. However, the microphone is of terrible quality and as it's in the stereo unit it's quite far from me when I'm driving meaning it is almost useless to use for voice calls. Because of this I purchased a seperate good quality bluetooth speaker/mic that fits on to the car's sun visor. The problem I have is when I get in to my car my phone connects to the stereo only and not the small speaker. I want my phone to connect to the stereo via b/t so I can play my music through it, which is great, but not for voice calls. I see in the b/t options on my phone (HTC One) that you can check/uncheck boxes for the type of connections, in this case 'Phone Audio' and 'Media Audio'. If I just have the Media Audio setting checked, the phone fails to connect to the stereo at all, not even for music, so in order for it to automatically connect to the stereo I need the Phone Audio option enabled too, causing it to then not connect to the seperate device, thus diverting all calls through the stereo, which is really inconvenient. There are no options within the stereo that isolates these individual settings.
Are there any apps or methods you can advise me on that will allow my phone to connect to the stereo automatically but with voice disabled? I have looked in to Tasker but I am not skilled enough to work out how to set it up, so if this is the best option can somebody talk me through this please?
I appreciate the help on this, and I hope I've explained it adequately.
Simon
