been busy with work so this is actually my first free time to personalize my xda2. i'm almost done but what's puzzling me is the bluetooth configuration.
i followed the instructions for both the xda2 and jabra headset for bonding. no problems so far but what's puzzling me is how to use the headset now that they're bonded. i tried testing it by pressing on the headset once...but no 2 blips sounded. or by activating the media player, but still no luck.
what am i doing wrong or am i not doing something which i'm supposed to?
thanks for any help you can give

headset profile is only for phone usage. u can't use it for anything else. i have hbh-65 and as long as headset is on and call comes in it goes to bluetooth and rings
alex
hey thanks! and all the while i thought i was doing something wrong. do i leave the bluetooth setting mode to "on"? and when a call comes in, the phone rings and i can hear it immediately through the bt headset? do i need to press any buttons on the headset to activate it or is it automatic (i can answer right away)?
i guess i got used to having the bluetooth adaptor plugged to my old xda that i'm still looking for those 2 blips whenever i depress the bt headset button.
cheers

answered my own question
hey kalex, please disregard my previous post; i guess i just answered my own inquiries about the blue tooth bonding thing by using my landline and calling my mobile. the bt works great between the phone and the headset; when the mobile rang it immediately sounded off in my headset; just needed to press the button once to activate it. thanks a bunch!
cheers mate

hey kalex or whoever can help out; the bluetooth headset works well when the phone rings and i take the call. however; how do you use the bt headset when you want to make an outgoing call?
cheers
robson
man, you really need to read the manual.
As the manual states, the jabra headset supports voice dialing.... only by default the XDA-II does not. You'd need to look at the various voice dial packages and see about getting that to work with the headset.... I dont fancy your chances... on the other hand maybe someone has already done this?
sorry dude; like i said i was a little busy with work so you'll have to pardon my excitement of fooling around with the xda...not to mention skipping the part about the manual
cheers mate

I recently got an xda 2 and am buying a jabra 250. i presume that i'll need some voice software to make this totally hands free. or is this not the case.
any comments welcome :?:
I think the voice dial and headset issue is down to the headset BT profile that the XDA-II has plus the voice dial software supporting it.....
its muddy as hell, maybe someone else has a better idea. If I were you I'd find the voice dial software (there is plenty about) and then ask the authors for their recommendations.
voice software
Hello,
I can only say "me to" - I have HDW-2 Nokia headset but still looking for the voice software. I have tryied MS voice and I can say - forget the Microsoft voice - it is only dialing 7 or 10 digits numbers and trying to recognize the names - as most of my entries have non english names it does not work at all. I would rather have simple dialing digit-by-digit or nokia style recognition of the voice marks.

okay, we had both thursday and friday off as holidays here in thailand; which gave me enough time to finally read the manual cover to cover. and i still have a question; you guys will have to forgive me but i need to clarrify something.
when receiving a call the sound is automatically directed to the bt headset. i can either manually accept the call or use the "answer call after this number of rings" function. no problems there so far.
my question goes back to making a call using the bt headset without the aid of any voice dial apps. when you dial a number and send it; can the bt headset still be used? or is it purely for incoming calls? i read the manual (both for the xda2 and the bt headset) and it doesn't say anything about this.
you'll have to excuse my persistence as i really don't know the answer to this one. neither the manuals nor the devices show the answer. perhaps some friendly chaps from the site can help as well?
cheers

just try it! You have to use that little green button to make the call, but then the call is treansferred to the headset.

ah, after a little more research in the forum based from your response; i finally got the bonding issue nailed to the ground! what i did was delete the bond between the xda2 and the bt; i then rebonded them and now it's working properly. cheers!

How do I transfer a call from bluetooth speakers to the phone with tasker? Cant find any parameter for tat action :/
Why: When in car I want the calls to go through bluetooth handsfree system, but if its a private call and I have company in the car I would like to be able to pick my phone up from the dock and then the call should be transfered to the phone automaticlt even thou the bluetooth still is connected.
How do I do this?
Thanks in advance
/Max
The way I would do it is have a script to turn off bluetooth when there is an incoming call and it is removed from the dock (by the way what do you mean by dock?) and then re-enabling it when the call ends.
Good thought, but its like walking around the problem. Ill try if my car likes me to switch on and off BT or if it will refuse to reconnect.
Dont need a script for it, tasker have defaults to just turn of the BT in this case. But it would be a hell lot easier if I could just re route the sound since there are buttons for it on the darn phone
A dock... the holder with included charger for my mobile in the car.

On htc phones if you answer from the bluetooth the call will take place there but if you will answer from the ohone the call will be directed on the phonespeaker
I also have this problem but in opposite way. I want that when my phone has the autoanswer enabled the call to remain on the bluetooth which is not happenning and when i am riding the motorcycle is difficult to answer from the bluetooth device

Thank you, I tried this but is not working as I wish, because when is answering the conversation is transferred automatically on the phone!
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.

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.

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?

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.

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
I swear there was a thread for this before. My apologies if so, I DID search for it.
Anyway, I used to be able to answer calls on my watch from my phone. Now I only get the option to decline the call. Did anyone find a fix for this? I don't use it much, but I needed it today. It would be nice if all of the functions of this watch worked...
If you are connected BT and a call comes in, you will only be able to answer it of you have phone calls enabled in the BT setting for the watch. Doing so will not let you take calls on a BT headset though as the watch acts as the headset.

Is this new since Tizen 3? I used to be able to take calls on the watch without setting anything up differently (just pair it and done), and my phone would decide the preferred device. Meaning, if I was in my car, my car would ring and I could answer on it. If this is the case now, that's kind of a big step backwards!
This is driving me a little nuts! The watch frequently defaults to be my bluetooth connection when I'm making and receiving a call. It's mainly when I am in my car and I really NEVER want a phone call on my watch. Is there some way to disable phone calls on the watch or change how the phone is connecting to devices (eg in what order it makes a connection)?
In Settings > Bluetooth > Paired devices > Disable option to receive calls, for watch
I think this may be the best solution for it. I appreciate the quick and easy response! Bummer that it doesn't let me pick the default list in order or something.
Do you have LTE watch ? Because I do not really understand your problem.
Mine is BT. When I get into my car, phone connects to Ford Sync system. When incoming call arrives I just pick it up from the Ford sync.
That is what I want to happen! I do not have lte but when I'm in my car (and I would say more likely than not connected to Android auto) when I press the button to answer the call my watch steals it. It also sometimes happens when I'm wearing BT headphones connected to my phone. The way you're describing it is totally logical. If I answer it on the phone with a swipe or I choose that device in BT settings once a call is already answered that's fine. But when I'm pressing the answer button on my steering wheel why is it going to the watch?

This is really odd.
When I pick up call on the phone, still Ford gets the call.
When out of the car and watch connected to phone: when I pick up at phone - call remains at phone.
The only difference is, that I do not connect to Android Auto ( I have to use cable - which I am to lazy to plug ). I use only BT connection to car as ordinary handsfree
I will verify what happens when I connect to Android Auto.
EDIT: Maybe this is a problem of you phone ? I think this is the place when you shoul search for handsfree priority ? I mean it is not "hungry" watch "stealinbg" the connection buy phone feeding him I have Galaxy M51 and no problem of this kind
