I have recently purchase a SONY DR-BT20NX stereo wireless headset that is SUPPOSED to work as a hands free head set too. It's not behaving and wondered the following:
Does anyone run one of these and can advise?
Are there know problems with BT Stereo headsets on the Trinity that require tweeks?
It seems to be OK when playing music but when set as a hands free unit the phone will not ring, it will only sound in the earphones. It will not respond to an INCOMMING call only an outgoing one. NONE of the advance functions work when making or taking a call so I have to use the buttons on the PDA!
When used as a stereo headset it does seem to stop start and pause music ok from the button on the headset, and even skip to the next track. But as mentioned, NO functions work from the button on the BT headset when a using the phone, let alone the advance functions the thing is supposed to offer.
This is the second unit I've tried as I returned the first one to the supplier as I thought it was faulty as it was do too many stupid things.
Thoughts chaps...?
Sorry not much help with your specific model but I can report that the Trinity works well with the SonyEricsson HBH-DS970 both for audio and to manage phone calls. All buttons work properly.
Are you sure your model supports the Handsfree BT profile? I thought all phones and phone accessories were part of the SonyEricsson joint venture portfolio and Sony would not produce phone accessories under its own brand.
Read this, Sony BT20NX worked seamlessly (both A2DP and AVRCP) on Wizard :

I did think the same way you are, until i see it myself on a store shelves... I really don't understand why either...
Anyway both DS970 and BT20NX have necklace design... or you may called it "gene"

I tried this in one of the stores and found that it was NOT working properly with my Trinity (WM6 Rom). It was skipping horribly. Gave up after 5mins of trying. The square design of the center piece makes it looks like it came from the 90s.
Anyway, I tried the http://www.itechdynamic.com/en/products_spec.asp?cid=2&pid=02050 I-Clip Radio and it worked out of the box (Flawlessly). Even the Cyberion Voice commander (for handsfree dialing through wireless bluetooth) works beautifully. Bought it after 10mins of trying, used it for 5 days now ... no regrets! It comes with a 3.5mm audio socket so you can pair it to your favourite Sony EX headphone or the over priced Shure headphone. Sound quality is unbelievable. Try it ...
Just wondering if MIZZO1628 eventually got Trinity working with the Sony DR-BT20NX earphones? I really like the look of these, and am willing to do some reg hacking if necessary - but not if its going to be a dead end...
I also have the Sony BT headphones, and they have always been a problem with every rom (HTC Wizard included) that I have used.
I nearly always must edit the registry to listen to music, and the phone call function only works for outgoing calls.
I should have known better than to buy something with 'Sony' on it, but there was a recommendation elsewhere in this forum.
Hi and sorry for my bad english.
I have a problem with my Htc Touch Cruise and my bluetooth headset Motorola H700.
The headset worked fine with my ex P3600 but with TC have this problem:
when i receive a call, the headset responding correctly but after few seconds the audio disappears despite the bluetooth connection is ok!
If i shut off my headset the call continues regularly on TC, but if i re turn on the headset work correctly for few second and after stop.
The only solution is soft reset or turn off the bluetooth connection with commmanager and restart.
Someone have same problem?
Thanks to all!

No problem with my Samsung WEP200 BT Headset. In my case it work much better than with my old P3600 where people always complain about bad sound when I was in BT.
To be sure that your problem isn't linked to the Polaris, you should test with another headset.
Good luck !

I had similar problems with another HTC phone, same Motorola H700. Seems that the H700 might be the problem. I also use a Jabra without problems.
Sony Ericsson bluetooth headsets work also just fine.

I have the same problem and sometimes I re-apply pairing between the headset and my polaris
same problem with Motorola H700. and olso motorola HS 810
They seem not to be compatible
I have reconnect my old carkit bluetooth Parrot CK3000 Evolution and with my HTC Touch Cruise work very fine!
With my old P3600, the parrot ck3000 evolution don't work fine but have problem with audio and connection, therefore i had unplugged and i had buy the headset Motorlola H700 thed worked well with P3600...
Same problem with Jabra headset
I have also exactly the same problem with a Jabra headset.
I found that the problem only occur when bluetooth is first activated on HTC and then activated on the headset. if I do it in the other way it works fine.
that's also the reason why it works after a soft rest of the HCT or disconnection reconnection of bluetooth on HTC.
Does it only mean that the headset is not compatible or is this a problem on the HTC.

I don't know the bluetooth 2.0 + edr is compatible with motorola headset
perhaps a bluetooth incompatibility
i read on it http://direct.motorola.com/ENS/HKernel/H700_Headset_detail.asp
this : # Bluetooth Class 2 for wireless connection of to 10 meters
(30 feet)
# Compatible with Bluetooth 1.2- or 1.1-enabled mobile
phones, PDAs, PCs, and more that support headset and
hands-free profiles
I had the same problem with the H700. It connected fine the first day, and I used it for about 15 minutes. The next day, it wouldn't stay connected at all. Tried to re-pair, etc..no luck. My Jabra BT-125 works great, as does my LG HBM-730.
HTC patch for bluetooth
I saw on HTC (in the e-club section) that there is a patch for Touch (is it touch only or touch cruis also? I don't know) regarding "bluetooth connection problem".
Unfortunately I cannot download it.
If someone can do it, I'm interested.
Vincent
First of all sorry for my bad english!!
What about the patch for HTC TyTN II? this one seems to be like htc cruise, both of them have the same specifications, may be this patch work on HTC touch cruise
Where I can found the patch ?? I want to try it on my cruise. If don't work I will restore all with a backup file...
you can found it on HTC web in the e-club section. If the patch works properly write it in the forum please!

Same specifications but different motherboard. Don't try it.
Ok......... thank you, I'll wait for another solution
After more and more test, I have found that the problem of the motorola Headset HS850 (and I think H700 etc. etc.) is the boom switch.
If you pair the headset to the Cruise and use it, it works fine (not stop after 3-4 seconds). Works great also bluetooth audio program:
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-bluetooth-audio-v1-0.html
for redirect all audio to the headset.
But... if you switch off the headset with boom close, next time it will not work more than 3 seconds
So, the problem on this motorola is the automatic connection when open the boom.
Sony Ericsson HCB-700
Hi. I seem to be having similar problems. I had 3 phones linked to my HCB 700, and all worked fine. Very occasionally, I would have found that one wouldn't pair up when the ignition was switched on, but with my old Orbit 1, that may have happened once a week. I got a new Orbit 2, and was able to pair it easily. Now, it never fails to start paired, but frequently drops the BT connection. Usually a simple button press links it again, but it will rarely stay linked for more than 30 minutes, and could drop the connection 3 or 4 times in 10minutes. Then it may work for 30 minutes. I tried a reset to default settings, and re -paired the two again, but it doesn't seem to have made any difference. This can happen whether I have used the phone or the handsfree or not.. I'm thinking of getting a Parrot kit now instead - any ideas? Thanks in advance..
Sorry if this has been discussed before, but I couldn't find it by searching.
I very much like WM6.5, however, as many different versions as I've flashed, the common denominator for me is my BT headsets don't behave the same way as with WM6.1. Meaning, they pair fine, but when connected and a call comes in, the ring tone doesn't play thru the HS but thru the phone's speaker. The HS plays a generic tone. If a call is accepted via the HS, the caller can be communicated with via the HS. If a call is accepted via the handset with the HS connected, only the handset can be used for communication.
I've tried using my standard BlueAnt Z9i, Plantronics B110, and Jabra 840. All 3 behave in the same manner. Is there something I'm missing?
Works for Me
This is awesome. I have the BlueAnt Z9i with WM6.1. The way you described the behavior in WM6.5 is EXACTLY what I think it SHOULD do. I never have my headset in my ear unless I'm on the phone, so I hate the fact that it ONLY rings in the headset when I'm not wearing it.
It would be nice if this were configurable through some kind of settings, but I haven't found a way to adjust it. Looks like its time for me to find a nice 6.5 ROM.

I know what you mean as well as I have the same blue ant and the new Q1 and it seems like the auto a2dp is off. There is a software that will porce it on but it kills the BT HS bat.

I could live with part of this feature, the ringing of the handset. But I can't live with the problem of answering on the handset and not being able to use the BT HS.
I've since discovered the wanted behavior is a feature of MSVC. After upgrading to v1.6.19209, I now have all I want with the exception of initiating voice calls from the HS. Pressing the button only opens the audio gateway and doesn't initiate the MSVC prompt. Calls and calendar reminders are announced as wanted.
Has anyone been able to solve this little annoyance?
I had a problem with the handsfree headset delivered with the S200.
2 seems to be available in ebay, but with very long delivery time.
I also tried my son's HTC HD headset, but it doe not seem to work
Has anyone identified a suitable replacement that would support both the headset function and the push to talk handsfree functions ?
Thanks in advance
Hi,

If you have phonex as replacement dailer then you have to disable "lock hardware buttons". Otherwise you can't accept a call when pressing on the headphone button.
I tried the following BT headsets SE HBH-PV715 and Nokia BH-105. And they both have the same sympton when lock hardware buttons is enabled in Phonex.
Hi everyone,
My car has a bluetooth chip inside, but it only works when someone calls me or when I call someone. The BT chip of my car is recognized by my phone as an "headphone device" or something like that.
So I would like to find an app which fakes that the phone is receiving a call or that I'm calling someone so that I can listen to my music using BT.
Obviously, all that app such as call faker don't do the trick because they are just a sort of skin which is absolutely not faking a call the way I mean it.
Do you know that kind of app or any method to do so ?
Thanks,
KennyG9
i know what you mean, but there is no way that could happen sorry . (no app exist to date as far as i know)
you need what is called a a2dp bluetooth car set. that will let you stream music. (i have one)
other than that i'm afraid your out of luck.
but you could try buying the IO Bluetooth car kit (the one i have)
works well!
Oh, that's a shame .
Anyway, I'm going to take a look a bit more about A2DP, but I guess that I will not have enough motivation to buy one (and continue listening to music with my ooooold CD Player \o/ ).
So thanks for your answer Oly,
If someone else can help me in any other way, I stay tuned on this topic, even if it seems to be difficult.
KennyG9
Perhaps this would be possible if someone writes an app which uses the "phone line" not sure how it is called and how I should describe it in english.
But if you make an app which has a sound output you can tell it the type like navigation, music, call...
I am not sure if that does it, but someone could try?
Perhaps I could write a small app which plays one song to the call channel fit test purposes?
I have no headset or anything similar.

Tasker to the rescue! Just tried the following profile in Tasker, and it worked how you want:
New task: Prank
Call my home number (+ auto dial)
Wait 5 seconds
End call
I then create a tasker widget, and point it to this profile. Now when ever I press this widget, it dials my home number for 5 seconds then hangs up.
Tasker ain't free, or easy to get used to, but it's incredibly powerful. I think it has a trial period. Check it out.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA Premium App
Thanks for answer wnp, but I don't really understand in which way it's supposed to help me, because Tasker is really calling someone and really ending the call. Anyway, I tried it and it didn't worked because when Tasker is launching the call, the BT headphone of the car activates (ok), it rings, and end the call (stopping BT headphone in the car) 5 seconds later. It works exactly as if I had really done it with my hand. Or maybe I didn't understood well what you explained ?
Thanks anyway,
KennyG9
I'm looking for this as well!
Try AutomateIt or Llama. AI has a bluetooth trigger option, eg start an app (music) and it will trigger bluetooth and you can set bluetooth to default connect to a specific source.

Ok I downloaded automateit but how would I set this up with my car stereo Bluetooth? As the same with the OP in the 1st post, I don't have a streaming option, but I can make calls, and it is only while i'm on a call i'm able to play and hear other audio sources such as Pandora, mp3, etc on my phone. How can I fake a call, so that I trigger the Bluetooth to activate with this app?
I'm just sayin!
You can use an app called BTmono in the market for this. It can stream all audio from your device to your car reciever. But the streaming is only in mono because your car's bluetooth works like a mono headset.
Sent from my HTC Desire S
Ok I appreciate the help offered but the suggestions is not suitable for the problem. The problem that we're having is that the car audio headset don't have an option to stream audio from a Bluetooth device, but will allow calls thru Bluetooth.....if I have a connected call from my phone to my car audio headset, only then is when I can stream other audio formats from my phone, but once the call is disconnected, then I went be able to. So once again, are there any apps that can fake a call to initiate the Bluetooth as an incoming call so that I can stream audio from my phone??
I'm just sayin!
I also have a Jabra headset and can only stream audio when there is a call. It should be working as same. As I said, BTmono can stream all audio on the connected bluetooth device. Have you tried it first?

Yes I did try btmono, but I didn't see anything within the app that would allow to fake a call. Unless i'm overlooking. Maybe you can instruct how?

[Post found via google]
Sip applications such as sipdroid do change phone state. and SIPDROID is a SOFTWARE-ONLY SOLUTION. we just need a software that would make a dummy call...
I have an app called Call Reminder and when it triggers I know the phone is actually on a call state
I'v personally tried btmono and the other one and both failed for me. [not desire though].
On my windows Mobile phone for this i use an app that routes all audio output to Bluetooth
So I can hear music on my headset
The app is bt audio
Don't know if there is an equal app for Android

BTMono or Fake call
I've been digging the internet for a similar solution and stumbled upon a few pages.
BTmono or any of the myriad of other applications should work from what i read. It simply routes the music audio stream to headset/headphone audio (the one that's used for a call) which is compatible with a mono-bluetooth headset or in your case the non-A2DP car bluetooth. This is essentially what you suggested, by placing a fake call.
playstore - play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bedoig.BTmono
The other more interesting option (i like to avoid having an app if the task can be done simply otherwise) is to call the 2 second pause function from the dialer. There's a thread about this over at this other forum. It describes the 2 second pause as a double star **. However i figured in my Nexus 4 the 2 second pause is simply a comma (,).
forum link - androidforums.com/motorola-droid/16849-audio-other-than-calls-bluetooth-headset.html#post122894
I haven't tried either as I left my mono-bluetooth at work today. Will try both out tomorrow and post my results. Both seem like plausible solutions.
Btmono seems the only one to have worked.

Steam music over Bluetooth for phone only setups
I've solved this problem but you need two phones. Connect a phone to Bluetooth in your car, use another phone to call you, answer the call and on the other phone press hold. You can now stream music on any of the apps on the Bluetooth phone until you hang up the call. I found this out when someone left me on hold for a period of time. Using Tidal high fidelity the sound is amazing in my 2006 Range Rover
