Hi,
I would love to see a way/program that maxes out the volume when the HD2 gets connected to a bluetooth carkit and switches back to normal when connection is lost/disconnected.
I now often have the problem that the sound on my HD2 is very low when I get an incoming call on the carkit so that I have to get the phone out of my pocket to turn op the volume (other ways the car radio needs to go on 80% (normal 35%/40% with phone sound on max) or more, not nice with 250+ Watt RMS on it when the call stops and the music starts again)
plz. help.

OK i have both the xda2i and the mini s, i have only installed the O2 upgrades from them... i have never hacked or modded the units in any way. if i need to i will need complete idiot guides to do so. this is the thing that i have found on here a lot of posts assume you have some knowledge of hacking or reg editing etc. I have none what so ever.
currently i have tomtom 5 on the xda2i with a wired gps. i have been fine with this and a jabra BT205 for car use.
Press the button on the BT205 and i get the tomtom commands in the ear. I can answer calls and use it fine.
The thing it lacks is the voice dial.
I can also get music on the BT205 from WMP10 although very poor quality and listen tomtom5 at the same time.
I got the Mini s as an 'upgrade' on contract. I have used the BT205 0n it and its good, i can press the button and it brings up the voice dial which also works. The keyboard is good for txt etc.
I cant get the audio from wmp to play through the BT205
I have not transfered the tomtom 5 accross as this means i will need to buy a bluetooth gps and a new cradle for in car. also i like the larger screen on the xda 2i
Now this is what i want to be able to do for use on the motorbike.
I want to be able to listen to music at good quality
I want to be able to hear tomtom5 at the same time
I want to be able to make a call without having to take my helmet and gloves off so voice dial
I want to be able to receive calls again without taking off helmet and gloves
When i end a call i want the screen to go back to tomtom and the audio back to tt5 and wmp
Now bluetooth seems like a good idea. I have no problem if i can get a headset, stripping it and mounting it in the helmet with new buttons fitted so i can press just inside the helmet (i am an electronics engineer)
I had looked at using a wired system from the 2.5mm port on the units. but on my tests so far.
XDA2i
running wmp10 and tomtom 5 (tomtom 5 open on the display)
audio from both wmp10 and tt5 fine
making a call
press the green call button on the headphones and the phone opens press again and i can do last number redial, the audio switches from wmp10 and tt5 to the phone
press the red call end button the audio switches back to wmp10 and tt5. the screen back to tt5
receiving a call
audio switches from wmp10 and tt5 to phone ringing.
press green button and answer the call fine.
Press red button, call ends, screen goes back to tt5 audio to tt5 and wmp10.
On the mini s
I dont have tt5 on there so i cant do a full test. but running wmp i get the music through the earphones
press the talk button and the mini s does nothing, no voice dial, no phone screen no last number redial.
incoming call the audio switches from wmp to the phone ringing (very loud could do with a seperate level setting for headphones being used)
press the talk button and chat.
press talk button ends call and wmp audio comes back.
SO out of the two units the xda2i does the most i want to be able to do apart from the voice dial.
the advantage of using bluetooth is no wires to the helmet and only having to connect mini s or xda 2i for power. if i use a bluetooth gps.
the advantage of using a wired unit is at the moment i get the closest to what i want without much messing, i could also build a small audio mixer so i can use the same earphones and mic with rider to pillion or bike to bike radios.
If i go down the route of wired
is it possible to get a good voice dial program for the xda2i that will run when the green call button on the headphone connector is pressed.
is it possible to get the mini s to do the same as the XDA2i but using the voice dial when i press the talk button on the earphones.
If i goto bluetooth can i get a set up for either device to do my wish list??
Will the use of bluetooth gps effect a bluetooth headset.
I have looked at a lot of posts on here and lots have different elements of my problems but i just find each post seems to link to another and another and another.
I have looked at lots and lots of A2DP headsets and bluetooth devices but short of going and spening a lot of money i dont know if my ideas will work.
Thanks for takin the time to read i hope you can help.
I synced my Plantronics 590 to my P3600, but if I turn bluetooth off and on again on the phone, they won't pair up again (the music plays through the phone's speaker). Suggestions?
Also, the icon at the top of the screen disappears if I turn the phone off and on again, even though the connection works. Why is this?
I see that I'm not very clear.
The wireless stereo does not reconnect.
The handsfree does reconnect.
Why?
I'm having the same problem. What to do??
Wen you turn on your stereo bluetooth headset you must push the same button once again. Wait for 3-5 sec for the reconnecting sound.
Thank you. It works.
I have paired my Sony Ericsson HBH-GV435a bluetooth handsfree to my new Touch Pro. Every time I make a call or respond to a call and hang up the BT connection hangs too and the handsfree disappears from the phone. If I power off and re-power on the BT handsfree the connection reestablishes until the next call comes in and I hang up where the BT connection hangs/disconnects again. My other BT (Jabra 250) works fine with no disconnections. Touch Pro BT settings and Sony BT settings are the default ones.
Any suggestions how to keep the Sony - HTC BT connection alive? Any tweaks?
Not sure if I understand 100% what you mean.
I noticed it with WinMo 6.1, the ROM I'm using right now(see sig) and other Raph ROMs that the BT device icon is OFF but BT itself is on. That's valid for 100% of the cases, the device icon and thus true communication to this device seems the be activated only on demand/when used and it takes less than a sec to do so (IMO great to conserve some battery power).
Let me describe (BT paired to know device):
BT headset on
BT at phone on (BT symbol on top/no headset symbol)
Open dialer, no headset symbol
Dial and a sec later headset symbol appears in dialer
Hang up (BT symbol on screen goes quickly off/on, headset symbol disappears).
The same with the - though nagging - incoming call delay:
Softkey lights blink
Incoming dialer screen pops up without headset symbol
Headset symbol appears and starts to peep ...
Thank you my friend! You solved a big mystery for me...I tested it and you are right, once a call comes in again the SE BT device gets automatically reactivated after a small lag and reconnects with no problems. I was losing the handsfree icon in the dialer and I was getting a "lost BT phone" tone in my handsfree and was misled to believe that the connection is lost. The connection indeed drops but reconnects on demand on next call. Great help! (was about to toss the handsfree to garbage!)
Hi all,
I have HP iPAQ 514 with TomTom 7 installed on it, my goal is to hear all the TT's voice instructions through my bluetooth headset.
I've experimented with several settings as my headset is A2DP enabled, the result is that my phone is not fast enough to run TomTom and encode A2DP at the same time, so in the bluetooth settings of the phone I've unchecked Wireless Stereo and left only Hands Free checked for my headset.
Through standard hands-free profile it works, but with lags, i.e. I hear about 1-2 seconds sound from the phone speaker, then it's switched to my headset. Sometimes, if an instruction is too short, it switches even after playing it, so I don't hear anything. After a few seconds of inactivity, it switches back to "standby" mode.
I've found out I need to keep the connection between phone and headset "alive" to get rid of those lags - e.g. by playing music in the background, then there are no lags as the connection is active. But playing some sound (even playing "silence" just to force permanent connection) means extra load for the processor and the memory, and is very unpleasant. Is there any other way to keep my phone permanently connected with my bluetooth headset, not in just lag causing "on-demand" mode?
Thanks a lot.
So I use bluetooth for both phone and music in my car but my phone pairs to two separate devices. For the phone it pairs to my Audi MMI system and does so correctly every time. For the audio I have it pair with my Blackberry Stereo gateway which is hard wired into my aux input.
The issue I'm having is that if I'm connected in both Headset (Audi) and a2dp (Blackberry gateway) modes, the music will start to skip after a minute or two. It works completely fine for a few minutes, then I believe the phone is going into some sort of sleep state as it'll begin skipping fairly often. If I turn the screen back on, the skipping goes away. The strange part is that if I disconnect the pairing with the phone, the skipping never happens. It's almost as if there is enough juice in awake mode to correctly power both bluetooth connections, but if it's in some form of low power sleep mode, it's not able to handle both connections so the bluetooth audio skips.
I've also found that if I'm paired to both, the call quality over bluetooth is slightly lower with a bit of crackling/garbling, but not nearly as bad as what I get with the audio. I can deal with the phone side of the issue, but I can't listen to music that skips every 5 seconds.
Anyone else have this issue? I wish I could set it so the phone wouldn't sleep when paired to both devices! I don't mind a bit more battery drain while in the car if my phone is actually usable for what I want to do with it.
