[Q] bluetooth issue - HTC Sensation

calls work with BT device, but neither gMaps or Waze will "speak" thru BT device.
Any ideas?

You need a A2dp type of Bluetooth to have voices other than calls to route via BT.
Alternative is to use a program to simulate a call when a sound is emitted. There are several applications on the market.

There is any BT Heatset that auto-answer incoming calls ?

I want to purchase a BT headset for use under helmet in my motorbike, but I'ts not clear that the autoanswer feature work with BT.
My candidate it's the Jabra 250.
Any experiences ???
Thanks in advance for your replies !!!
There's an automatic pickup after x rings check box in phone settings. That will always work won't it ?
This only works with the wired headset that cames with the phone....
Nobody has a BT headset that autoanswer ?????
Auto answer with bluetooth is part of the handsfree profile (which the XDA does not support), not the headset profile. Sorry

Try Pocket Bluetooth tools.
It automatically activates bluetooth when you make and receive calls.
Just download the attached file.
Enjoy!

How to use BTHTools1100.exe
I installed BTHTools1100.exe, and I found that from my Jabra 258 FS I am able to make last call dialing just by clicking on my headset, which was not possible before. But I lost the pop up window, that used to show when I made the call from my PPC and it automatically got transferred to my Jabra, & would say "Do u want to transfer the call to Phone"!
Is there any eloborate help on BTHTools1100.exe

This will install newest bt stack.
I should also ask which ROM you're using. The newer ROMs seem to be a lot better.
I'd also like anyone who could to tell me which BT stack is included on the newer ROMs, like Nitro or vjgrace.

my ROM is WM6 by vjgrace v3.4
Again I could describe my Nokia BH-101 BT headset with handsfree functionality on WM6 by vjgrace v3.5. It works nice as headset i can hera incoming calls, answer them, call last dialed number. But I CAN NOT make it start voice calling, due to device itself - it does sounds special tone that means that voice dial is started, but my phone does not recognise it. by the way useing celetask - there is special feature - that alows you to redirect all sound to headset and it work. As for me i don't need it (you are to have special BT Headset for listening to music. This headset generates rather bad sound(but not voice).
So again
I can do:
makle calls,
answer calls,
dial last dialed call.
swap and hold calls.
I can not do:
make voice dial
any voice commands
What are the problems:
Everytime I answer the call not by the headset but via the phone it looses the connection with headset, so i need to restart BT service (or headset).
It happens even if I answer by headset but during the call i need to speak via phone then i press right softkey and choose "turn handsfree off" and aain phone looses the headset
In this case I I make new call but in right soft key menu "turn handsfree on" is not active
If it's possible to make phone speak contact's name litterally during incoming call so i could know who is calling me.
IRC, voice dialling with WM phones is a bit of a problem. I seem to recall reading about this somewhere in the XDA-Dev forums.
On my headset, the function that calls for redial is the same for voice dial (wtf? I know.) It always redials.
As for the speaking of the contacts' names, it should be possible... if your phone can speak the contacts' recorded voice names w/o BT.

Using BT headset as "Audio Gateway"

I used an HP iPAQ 6955 (WM5) for nearly 2 years prior to my newly acquired Touch Pro. It had the ability to use my BT headset as an "Audio Gateway" which is EXTREMELY convenient when using a GPS NAV application as you get the directions in your ear, rather than through the phone's speaker.
I can't seem to find anywhere on the Touch Pro to enable this "feature"? My BT headset works great for calls, but I cannot get any other audio sent to the headset.
Ideas?

Go and look for BTAudio.cab. It's what you're looking for.

one bund the a2dp able headset to the pda
and go into bluetooth settings and tab and hold it
and choose wireless stereo headset
and all sounds are transfered to the headset
I am having the same trouble. I'm trying to stream internet radio from my Fuze to my car through the bluetooth. I can send/receive calls and everything is great but can't play music. When paired the option for Stereo Headset is grayed out and it only works as a regular earpiece. I have tried the Blue Music and BT audio with no luck. Neither one worked.
Any other ideas?

Have you done it (using BTAudio) the right way? You have to connect your BT headset FIRST and THEN start the BTAudio application and switch it to on. Don't forget to switch it to off afterwards.

Your car's bluetooth system may not support streaming audio. Mine does not, even though it pairs in stereo with my fuze.

I read the manual and it says that it does support streaming music if the phone supports it. So I assume there is something needed in the phone. I looked in the Advanced Config Tool 3.3 and under the Bluetooth category there are two services listed for Audio Gateway and that is disabled by default. Is that something that could be the problem?
Works great!

Finally got around to installing the BTAudio earlier this week, and it works great. I now get the GPS directions in my Bluetooth headset, as well as other audio alerts, like new e-mail and SMS alerts.
Only gripe is that after answering a phone call, you have to stop and start the BTAudio app again. Guess it's the price of getting what I want?

It might be. Enable it and see what happens.

Skype won't use bluetooth headphone microphone

I find that Skype uses the tablet's microphone even when a bluetooth headset is paired and audio is coming out of the headset speakers. Googling it , this seems to be a longstanding Skype bug. Has anyone found a way to get Skype to use the bluetooth headphone mic?
Thanks
Android needs to enable bluetooth mike system wide, just like in other OS.
There are other apps that can use this, not only skype.
Some of them are web based, like making calls with bobsled.

It's not an Android problem, per se. I use a Motorola stereo bluetooth headset that can be used for phone calls too with my Android phone with no problems on cell phone calls and Sipdroid (for VOIP). I would suspect Skype still has bugs with bluetooth, which is a fairly recent addition to their Android software. OP, the Skype forums might be your best avenue for help. There are numerous users in the Skype forum reporting problems with bluetooth using Skype.

What I am trying to say is that, just like when you plug in the wired headset the sound is rerouted to the headset's earphones (disabling the device's speakers) and the microphone input is rerouted to the headset's mike (disabling the device's mike), the same should occur when the device pairs with a BT headset.
This is what happens when I pair my win xp pc to a BT headset. This way, the audio I/O change is system wide, and can be used by all apps.
Furthermore, additional settings in the device's settings screen could allow the user more control, like simultaneous use of the device's speakers and the BT earphone, (say you want to let a person next to you listen in to your conversation).
P.S. I wonder what the right place is to submit this to Android development...

Google maps voice prompts

Hey all. Whenever I'm in my car my phone is connected to bluetooth so I can receive calls. However, Google Maps voice prompts default to bluetooth. The problem is that if I'm listening to FM then the voice does not come through the speakers (this is an issue with the system in my car). In those cases I want to have the voice prompts come through the phone speaker, but I can't find how to change it from bluetooth. It seems that if my phone is connected to bluetooth then I cannot play prompts through phone speaker. Anyone know how to change this?

I think if you go into the bluetooth setting and press the settings button for your car conenction and uncheck media audio it should stop the maps voice prompts being sent to the car. It will also stop you sending music to the car as well though.

Yeah that works thanks. It's not a very good solution tho. I should be able to have my voice instructions go to my phone speakers regardless of whether I'm streaming music or not. And I shouldn't have to change a setting on my UVO to stop it from going to bluetooth. Thanks tho.
