[Q] [APP Request] Software to use HD2 as Car pc - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi...
I want to use my Hd2 as car pc... Yes you might say, it has a navipanel allready. But its not that what i imagine, however its similar. Navi panel has 6 Buttons, for Calling, go home, start copilot and so on. But no buttons for starting a music player or video player, gmeter ( i love it). So i am searching for an customizable Panel where i can set my 6 Buttons, like in CHT. It would be perfect if the APP connects to my a2dp Radio when it starts...
Is there any app can do this??
Regards

don't know if this is what you're looking for but what did was use wisbar advance desktop. from there i created the following shortcuts on my screen:
1) call home
2) call my wife's cel
3) call my kid's cel (yeah, these days they have phones as well =)
4) gps (papago or navigon)
5) pocket player (music)
6) coreplayer (when my kid is in the car and we go for long drives)
7) bt toggle (activates a2dp)
my phone is bonded to my trusty old r35 headset which is then plugged to my car's sound system. for my wife's car, this is no longer needed as she already has bt built in her car. yeah, i got the older model =) so when i toggle my bt, it connects immediately to the r35 and thus streams all sounds through the speakers.
cheers

Bluetooth remote control for Media player

Hello,
I'm looking for a bluetooth remote control for my TyTN. I don't know if that kind of stuff exists.
When I'm in my car, listening to music with TCPMP (or other audio programs), it's quite hard to clic on next or stop or play on the TyTN touchscreen and driving at the same time
That's why I was thinking of a remote control.
Any help is welcome
Thank you
I just think if the bluetooth can remote control the media player on our phone,it will be a revolution to the ppc.
Or your hope could come true the day the bluetooth producer make it.And we are longing for that day coming.
A few years back I had a Nokia phone and there was a utility that worked with Winamp on a WinXP computer and a plugin for a Symbian phone that allowed me to control WinAMP from my phone. It was cool. I was playing in a band and we had to provide our own break music. I'd light up the laptop between sets and control the play list from my phone from the parking lot outside or even the other side of the room!
I wish there were something similar for WinMo, though I really don't need it these days. It's still cool!

TCPMP, AFAIK, cannot be controlled with the default Bluetooth stack on the TyTN.
When I had the HP HW6515, it used the Broadcom stack, and it would control TCPMP.
I don't know of a pure non-audio Bluetooth AVRCP remote control.
Have you ever heard of creating playlists ,then you wont have to touch the tytn lol

HTC Touch HD + car radio with bluetooth

Hello everybody,
I'am looking for a new car radio with bluetooth for a bmw e46. It must support following features:
1. Bluetooth integrated in radio, no addional box and fit into bmw slot
2. hands-free set
3. Select and play (over radio) audio files from mobile phone SD card
4. Voice dial without prerecorded audio sample (in windows mobile) over car radio
Anybody a suggestion for a car radio that supports all that features ?
I don't know if it will support windows mobile phones, but supports ipod over bluetooth
Wireless connection with compatible devices provides hands-free calls, voice recognition dialing, audio streaming, and SMS message receipt notification. With AA-T100BT Bluetooth® transmitter, you can also stream music from your iPod.

Hi, if you want to keep you embeded radio system, you can add a module as ones devlopped by Parrot or IO.
I have the following system, working perfectly with my Touch HD

I have one of these
http://www.ciao.co.uk/Sony_MEX_BT2600__6846323
works a treat - audio can be played from SD card through manilla or wmp with no problems - you can even skip tracks using the stereo whilst tomtom is on your screen and everything performs great. Audio is paused when a call comes in and resumes when the call ends.
The only drawback for me is there is no visual feedback on the player such as track name or callers name etc... but dont know if this is even possible.
parrot mki9100 or mki 9200
check out these products. plenty of videos on youtube
and getting mine fitted today £177 includes kit, bmw lead (1series) and installation at my house.
great kit does averything you want and more. includes an amp to better the bmw system. has sd/ipod usb connectors plus bluetooth music streaming and obviously the phone kit
my advice connectmycar.co.uk
its a carphonewarehouse company. cheapest around
Motorola T505
I have T505 and its exelent for car, home, picnic etc.
stremeng music and calls to your car stereo(A2DP BT) via the built-in Digital FM transmitter.
And good thinks is location (long battery life 5-6 days) in car -microfon is near.

look for pioneers car-stereo with inbedded bluetooth
I have just installed a pioneer FH-P80BT Double Din and its is the bees knees.
It will do all you ask but i have not quite figured out how to do the Voice activated Dialing yet. Not sure if it will work with MSVC.
It auto downloads your phone book and you can dial from the Stereo itself.
You can also connect a laptop hard drive as the USB supports true 5v line.
Here is a link Clicky
Would be happy to answer any questions

hey nogs,
got the same in my new shape passat
i'd be careful about recommending it for use with portable HDD's though 0 it couldnt give enough juice to power up my WD Passport - but have to agree its a great headunit to pair up with the touch HD.
I use it to charge my device - just remember to use activesync mode just for charging otherwise you can't use your memory card for things like tom tom.

I've got a JVC KD-BT22 + a JVC DAB unit + an external 300GB HD (you could use a USB key instead or it has line in)
The JVC unit starts playing music from my Touch HD as I get into the car although having an external USB hardisk full of around 30gb's of music means I don't really need it.
It also works as a hands free (voice via the speakers, etc) the voice quality isn't brilliant on the unit as it doesn't use an external mic although I've read of some tweaks to make it better.

Ah right.... I have read on the MkiV Golf Forum it gives enough Juice so i was only going from what others have said.... I will be trying myself next week. According to the guys there, it only supports upto 250Gb and needs to be formatted FAT32.
I'll be opting for the 160Gb version myself.
Also... have you managed to activate MSVC via the long press of the Esc--Band button ?
PS- schranzistor - sorry to hijack this thread.
Nogs
ah! I don't think my drive was formatted to FAT32 (probably NTFS) which is why it didn't pick it up- dunno to be honest as I wasnt really that bothered having my HD with all its music on Also I had swapped out my internal 250GB WD drive with my PS3's standard 40Gb drive - maybe why it was supping a bit more juice than a standard WD one....
It was however making the infamous clicking sound you get when a drive doesnt have enough power to it - I might try it again later at some point when I have more than 2Gb of stuff I need access to in my car
I'm sure I tried that MSVC thing with Duttys 1.7 ROM a while back and it didnt work - I've got his 2.1 Xtreme ROM now so will give it another try tommorow morning.
It's a great headunit but I find it a bit plasticy for my liking (my fault for selling my Pioneer reference system I suppose!) - Button presses feel cheap and that front screen attracts dust quicker than my PC at home!

Widget to switch bluetooth devices?

I have a Jabra Clipper audio player to play my MP3's & streaming internet radio to my car stereo via 3.5mm jack. I also have my Moto BT headset that I use.
When I get a call the music is interrupted and I can answer the call with the Jabra Clipper and I can hear the call audio through the car speakers. The problem is my microphone on my phone is too far away on my car dock and people can't hear me.
So after answering the call I would have to go to settings, wireless, bluetooth and disconnect the Jabra and connect my Moto headset before I can take the call.
This is a pain and takes too long, is there a widget to swap paired BT devices? I cannot find anything in the marketplace.
Maybe a Tasker profile? I have Tasker but I haven't gotten any profiles to work yet.
I have a Droid X running Liberty 1.5.
Thanks.
I don't know if this will help, but can you not have both items paired and connected at the same time? My car has bluetooth for my phone for talk only, and I just added a Tunelink device to stream my music by bluetooth in the car. I've noticed when I get in the car that both will be paired, but only the car will be connected. So I have added a bluetooth widget to my homescreen, when I get in the car I will click on the widget that opens up the bluetooth settings and click on the Tunelink to connect it, from then on out both items are connected AND paired and both will work with no problems.
I initially had the HTC settings > Bluetooth shortcut, but then when Widgetsoid added the capability to choose bluetooth settings I changed to that.

Nice! I have a Jabra Clipper too! I say that because I have not seen anyone else with one yet lol.
Ever since I switched to CM7 I have been able to 1-touch enable/disable Bluetooth and Wifi among 10 other optional, additional buttons via the status bar. I hope this bar never goes away in future updates! Anywho you could check that out for managing your bluetooth connection quickly and efficiently.
All I can say in addition to that is clicking on individual bluetooth devices in the menu allows you to disable specifically phone / media audio. You could try disabling one or the other for one of your devices so that they both work independently. I'm not really sure how else to help you because of the unique situation.
Your best bet is to make your setup less complicated, by not using one or the other device, but I saved that one for last because it isn't what you're looking to accomplish.

Prior to the upgrade last week, the widget would only turn bluetooth on or off. With the update last week it added the option to have it open up the bluetooth (or wifi) options. This isn't automatic, you have to choose for it to do this in the options.
I don't know maybe the phone won't automatically connect with two items at once. It's a hassle to connect each time, but after the initial connection everything runs smoothly.
I downloaded Widetoid 2 and loaded it, now I have an BT settings icon on my switcher.
I managed to figure it out without he use of a widget, under my bluetooth settings I selected my Jabra Clipper and unchecked phone audio. Now I can connect my Clipper as media audio and my BT headset at phone audio at the same time. Now when I get a call the audio switches from the Clipper to the BT headset.
Thanks for your help.
An amazing One click - Connect 2 Specific Bluetooth device for A2DP and Phone app:
Bluetooth Pair
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gnssoftworks.bluetoothpair
found it very useful for swapping bluetooth headphones between devices WITHOUT turning off Bluetooth entirely or going into the settings menu.
Example Use Case:
I have one Stereo Bluetooth headset with mic (two profiles - phone and A2DP audio)
I have one Android Phone and one Android Tablet.
Phone Profile is always connected to the Android Phone, but the A2DP audio changes depending on which device you want to listen to music from.
Normally, if you want to listen to audio from the Tablet when your headset's A2DP profile is connected to the phone, you'd have to first go to the settings menu of the phone, and disconnect the A2DP, leaving Phone Profile connected. Then go to the settings menu on your tablet and connect the A2DP only.
Then you'd have to do the opposite if you want to listen to audio from the Phone again.
Takes a long time.
With Bluetooth Pair, you can specifically connect or disconnect to a specific device and specific profile (phone / a2dp) by widgets.
So you won't have to turn off the bluetooth completely on one device just to allow your headset to connect another device. Nor do you need to go into settings anymore.
1.) Just tap on the A2DP device specific widget on the phone to disconnect, the A2DP Profile from the phone
2.) go to the Tablet, and tap on the A2DP device specific widget to connect the A2DP profile of the headset to the Tablet
Two taps!
You saved me From buying a new stereo!

Headphone Connect - One Click Audio is a really simple app that let's you connect / disconnect to your desired bluetooth headset.
You find it in the play store if you search for "Headphone connect - one click audio"
I realize this is an old post, but I recently released an app called ShortTooth: create customized single-click shortcuts to connect to any paired Bluetooth device.
I use it to disconnect from my home stereo when I get into the car (parked close enough to still be paired), and reconnect to my home stereo when I get back.
You could use it to create two shortcuts:
* Toggle Jabra
* Toggle Moto
Or you can create two rows:
* Connect Jabra | Discconnect Jabra
* Connect Moto | Discconnect Moto
It has a free 14-day trial.

Bluetooth remote

I've hunted through the forums and on Google for an answer but I'm drawing blanks!
What I'd like is a remote to control my phone whilst listening to music. More specifically whilst in the car.
I find it quite fiddly to double tap the screen and then skip tracks whilst driving.
Is there a solution?

One solution is to use tasker to disable screen turnoff while connected to your car bluetooth and charging (assuming you have a car charger). Then use something like Unity Music Media Keys (universal control widget that you can supersize, works with pretty much every major music service) for easy skipping.
Or they make aux cables (if you are not using bluetooth) that basically add android remote (volume and skip) functionality and then have a female end (so you can plug into your car normally).

Lollipop 5.1.1 Bluetooth headset control

Sorry if this is not the right category, I have been looking to find one better suited to post this subject but couldn't find one.
As stated above, I'm having issues with controlling music from my Bluetooth headset. I've already done some troubleshooting but am currently at a loss and hope to find some help here.
Let me first describe the problem first:
When I connect my Bluetooth headset (Philips SHB7150) to my Xperia Z3 tablet compact I can not control my music. If I start playing music from the app, it plays fine through the headset but I don't have control. This used to work before, unfortunately I can't pinpoint when the issue started but it's possible it happened after upgrading from Lollipop 5.0.2 to 5.1.1.
Now on to my troubleshooting results:
- When I turn off the BT headset and turn it back on, it connects to the tablet without hassle but I have no music controls.
- When I turn off the tablet and turn it back on, it connects to the BT headset without hassle but I have no music controls.
- When I pair the headset again using NFC, it connects to the tablet and I have music control :good:
- When I turn off BT on the tablet and turn it back on it connects to the BT headset and I have music control :good:
- When I connect the BT headset to the tablet and go into BT settings, open the settings for the BT headset + uncheck 'media' + confirm + check 'media' + confirm and I have music control :good:
- When the tablet connects to BT in my car, it starts playing after the play command from the receiver. :good:
- In these last 4 cases, the solution is only good until next time the BT headset is turned off and connects again. Then there is no music control until I repeat one of those 4 steps.
Things I have tried:
- Use another application to play my music (stock Xperia music app, Google music, Rocket Player, Shuttle+, ... are all experiencing the same issue. So I don't think it is due to the music playing software
- Tried an application (headset button controller) to try and change the button behaviour but it does not receive the command from the headset (no beep)
- Connect my BT headset to another device (Sony Xperia S, MacBook Air) and it works fine (both after pairing and after turning BT headset off and on again)
- Factory reset my tablet using Sony Bridge for Mac -included wipe of internal data-, still the same issue.
- I tried to find some ADB command to reset everything BT, but all I could accomplish was using the command to start BT (due to lack of knowledge on ADB commands)
- I deleted all app data and cache for 'Bluetooth sharing' in application manager + restarted and connected again (no success)
- I re-paired the headset once more but this time without adding it as a smart-lock unlocking device but had no luck controlling music when I connected it again
To conclude:
The headset is working fine with other devices, I can't pinpoint if this is a software/hardware issue because it appears to be only for this BT headset/laptop combination and with all music software AND continues after factory reset...
Other BT devices (=car stereo, I don't have another BT headset to test with) are working fine to control music on my tablet
Restarting BT on the tablet or re-autoring the use of media in BT settings on the tablet permanently resolves the issue until the next time the headset is connected.
So it looks like either something hijacks my device as soon as it connects to the tablet OR the media-authorization gets revoked in the BT settings for that device. Perhaps I'm saying stupid things, but I'm really hoping that you, the more knowledgeable Android developer/enthousiast/... would be able to make more sense and to give me a hand in order to fix this issue.
I currently am dependent on my tablet for playing music during my daily train commutes since my beloved Xperia Z1 Compact is in for warranty repairs
ANY help would be appreciated !
