Hi bro's wanna thank everyone here for their hard work on getting A2DP to our hermes....
Anyway I wanna ask is there any quick way to switch from A2DP (wireless stereo) and back to mauybe normal "hands-free" ?? this is cause in wireless stereo, the phone does not ring, and lets say i am not using my bt and forgot to unpair, then i dont know its ringing..so do help
Just go to Bluetooth Settings, tap & hold your headset in the list then choose both Set as Wireless Stereo and Set as Handsfree. Voila. The ringtone is then played on the main speakers as well as on the headset. If any music is playing it will be paused and automatically resumed when you hang up.

Hi,
I use my iMate Startrek with a set of a2dp headphones (the iMuffs), and I have to manually tell the phone to connect to the iMuffs using a2dp through the "Set as wireless stereo" option in the settings, can this be done automatically?
Another thing is that if I get a call while listening to music, the microphone on the headset doesnt work very well, and I have to shout for the person to hear me. I think that the mic in the headset is not being used. Has anybody had this problem and solved it?
Does anyone know if there are some registry settings that need to be tweaked to get these problems solved?
Thanks a lot.
I use an itech s38 and doesn't have a problem with the mic.
I do have problems with automatic connections.
after setting up properly, if the headset gets disconnected,
the next time it reconnects by itself is always on the headset profile
and mostly only connects if i make a call
So even when no indicator is shown I would assume that seconds
before ther call is answered the sound would be transfered to the headset
that's not so much of a problem
what really sickens me is that if i wanted to
listen to music via the headset when headset profile is connected
i would have to
1.hit the stick once to go to comm manager
2.hit "2" to turn off BT
3.exit to make sure action is done
4.hit center to go to comm manager again
5.hit "2" turn it on (making sure it doesn'ty connects to headset profile first)
6.hit Settings to go to BT settings (hit one or enter to getto that's two presses)
4.hit menu
5.hit devices
6.hit menu
7.hit set as wireless stereo
8.hit done
9.hit done again
10.hit exit
11.hit start
12.hit windows media
13.mess another big while in windows media playlists
..........
now that's too much ... many places i could use the home button
to exit quickly .. that's not what's frustating
what i need actually is a shortcut to the BT devices page
and a smarter profile to connect to wireless stereo for me
without having to turn off headset profile first
I am using HP Stereo Bluetooth headset with my QTEK 8500. It works fine besides the reconnection. If I turn the headset off in order to reconnect I have to go to the BT settings and set the headset to Stereo Headset again. I beleive your problem ocurs because your headset is also a handsfree headset, which HP is not.
I do beleive this behaviour is by design. Although I do not seen to understand the logic behind it.
Good day.
In my car I have a bluetooth handsfree kit (Sony Ericsson HCB-400) with microphone and conversation through car stereo. It says in the instruction manual for the HCB-400 it supports both handsfree profile and headset profile.
Does this mean I can use the handsfree system to broadcast music over the car speakers through bluetooth?
In that case, how am I able to change the connection profile for the HCB-400 on my phone? Only option I get is "use for phone audio", wich is checked. Didn't do any difference.
Any ideas?
Not sure if it helps, but just pairded the Hero today with my newly purchased Bluetooth Car stereo...
After pairing etc. On starting Bluetooth on Hero, it automatically connects to stero and plays tunes etc. (provided I swtich to the correct Source on the Stereo). If I then try and make a call from the Hero, the Stereo automatically changes mode and works in Phone Mode. On ending the call it goes back to audeo mode.
So in principle, it can be handled seamlessly, but can't say for your own instance.
Easiest option is to just try it and see what happens...

Thank you for the reply!
I understand that you have a car stereo with integrated BT handsfree? In my case, a handsfree kit is mounted on top of the original stereo in my -03 Nissan Micra. Do you have any more options than I do if you long-press the actual BT connection in settings?
Hi,
Yes the stereo itself has bluetooth support...
On the Hero, if I go to bluetooth settings and Long Tap on the actual device connection itself, then I get to a screen that shows both audio and phone profiles with seperate selectable tick boxes.
Both were already ticked...

it has been discussed before but I still can't get it.
I do have sound via bluetooth in my car when answering a call or initiating a new one.
but I can't hear anything from the phone applications like navigation or musicplayer.
how can I change that?
It has nothing to do with the bluetooth kit in my car as a blackberry worked seamlessly with playing music via BT. Even my old HP ipaq 514 also made sound announcements through BT.
Any settings to adjust?
You must change a bluetooth-setting.
- Comm Manager
- Settings (right button)
- 2 Bluetooth
- 1 Bluetooth
- select your BT car-stereo from the list (don't click)
- Menu (right button)
- 4 ... wireless stereo ... (don't know the English name, in Dutch "Als draadloos stereo instellen")
In my experience, each time you reconnect the device, you have to do this again because it automatically resets to the handsfree setting.
thanks! sounds promising.
but it doesn#t work as expected. the phone is either a BT headset or a BT stereo. not booth at once. hmmm not sooo good
Ok but this will only work if the car supports A2DP, correct? Because I have a BMW and when it is connected that option is not there. The BMW bluetooth module supports just headset profile.
But if I use a normal bluetooth headset I can actually get regular audio out of it some times. The car strictly works with phone calls. Perhaps sometimes audio is sent to it but ignored, I mean it can transfer phone numbers (dial in car screen), phone book so of course it should know how to tell if it is in a call or not?
the features you describe are part of the rSAP bluetooth profile, where actually the car is the phone and only borrows its identity from the phone. totally different story.
so if you do a call actually the car holds the connection to the network. Your phone is only involved as kind of remote sim-card reader.
Q : Is it possible to hear (on speaker) ringtones when I use headphones...
From time to time I travel by car (driving) and I use navigation. Because I can't speak without headphones - I'm plugging it into Leo but not using all time in ears. Then I don't hear when somebody calls me.. How to set rings on speaker with pugged headphones ?
settings, menu, all settings, bluetooth, settings (all the gears), advanced, audio, tick the box, play system sounds on remote hands free device, job done
Yeee , OK. But I use standard headphones on wire plugged by mini-jack - not bluetooth
I want to use the bluetooth phone connection in my VW Golf, but not the media audio connection. I untick the Media Audio option under Bluetooth settings -> long press VWPHONE, but it always defaults back to being ticked the next time it connects. This is annoying because the phone routes the sat nav directions (CoPilot and Google Nav) over the Bluetooth audio connection, and sometimes auto starts the last media file on the phone.
Is there a way to force the phone not to default back to being ticked? Or turn off Bluetooth Audio for all connections (I never use this feature)?

I have a VW golf too with bluetooth on my phone and I am using it for playing song and answers my phone. But not for navigation...
I'am not sure of what your question is... Can you clarify?

My issue is that the sat nav verbal instructions are routed over the bluetooth media audio connection. As I'm not using that function on the car stereo it means I don't hear them. If I turn off media audio in bluetooth settings the nav instructions are routed to the phone speaker and so I hear them, and calls are routed to the car stereo. Problem is next time I get into the car the bluetooth media audio defaults to on, so I have to turn it off everytime I get in the car. I'd prefer it to remember the setting, or just turn off bluetooth media audio completely as I don't use it.
Sounds like you have the same issue that I have with a 2010 Seat Ibiza FR. I've noticed that the kit effectively pairs twice with my Atrix, first as a headset then as a media capable device. This approach means that the phone bluetooth setting will never be retained.
I've raised the issue with Seat UK who frankly aren't interested, and have yet to find any way of blocking the 2nd connection from the phone side.
I'd be very interested in any resolution / workaround you can find; this drives me nuts too...
