Connecting Touchpad to Windows 7 via Bluetooth - TouchPad General

I spent some time searching for an answer but couldn't find one.
I am trying to connect my Touchpad with latest build CM9 to my Windows 7 (64Bits) laptop.
I can pair the TP successfully but when Windows starts searching and installing drivers I get the "No driver found"
The reason I want this feature is because I would like to be able to play audio through my laptop without using a cable like I have now (headphones OUT from TP to line input IN on Laptop.
Let me know if I need to manually install the drivers or if there is another workaround.
Thank you in advance,
Zeek

I have always used Wifi to accomplish this... there are tonnes of market apps which will do this. I use VLC Direct the most.

What I am trying to achieved here is to stream the touchpad audio from different apps/sources (Touchpad main audio)
For example I listen to podcasts on BeyondPod, also watch news on multiple news apps, listen to music from different app sources too.
If I could pair the touchpad successfully and transmit the full audio from the TP to my Laptop, it would be the easiest since I wouldn't have to open any additional app or windows player to start streaming but to get in range to connect via bluetooth.

I think TP has not enough driver to stream audio over bluetooth it only can transfer files between pc and TP though i dont have Bluetooth in my pc i havent try it.

okay
got it... i understand... now to go home and get my TP

The Touchpad booted into either Webos or Android can easily stream music via Bluetooth. I have used a Logitech Bluetooth audio receiver and a belkin one to stream music directly to my hi-fi without any problems. Here is a link to the Logitech one which costs £26 the Belkin is £15 .

Good news!
Looks like I got the answer to my own thread...
The touchpad bluetooth drivers coudn't get installed (look at my first screenshot- first post) because I only had installed the standard Microsoft bluetooth drivers.
The way I got the TP successfuly connected via bluetooth was by downloading (in my case) the Dell Wireless 370 bluetooth drivers and installing them to overwrite the MS ones.
After installing the dell drivers I tried to pair the TP with Windows 7 again and got most of the drivers installed (screenshot attached)
In order to play the audio from the TP to your PC after the Bluetooth pairing proccess, just double click on the paired TP on windows and click CONNECT "Music and Audio", that's it!!

auto-connect to bt stereo headset?

hi all
i have a bt headset (HP)
after i paired it with my hermes, the only way to connect to them is going to comm manager-bluetooth settings-devices, click the bt-headset icon and choose "set as wireless stereo". is there a simpler way to do this? (much like the regular headset ised for phone calls, which connects automatically after the first pair)
thanks

after you set up a "pairing" ... when your pda's bluetooth is on, turn on your headset ... and then press the "answer" button, just once and it will sync in a few seconds.
This is how it works on my Motorola stereo headset.
works, thanks!
Gear4 BluePhones
I have the same problem as the topic starter, but I have a different headphone I have the Gear4 BluPhones.
I've tried the same, pressing the answer button after I turn the headphones on but that does not do the trick.
I run Black 4.0 WM6 on my Hermes..
Htc Bh S100
I have the same problem with my HTC BT Headset.
The Wireless Stereo connects automatically, but the Hands Free has to be refreshed each time a new connection is made .
My Nokia HS-12W connects flawlessly.
Therefore it just depends on the hardware design IMHO.

I had the same problem as simonk12. After reading the post from margatenj I thought if hitting answer would trigger a device to setup hands-free, perhaps using one of the music controls would trigger wireless stereo. On my Sony DR-BT30Q headset, if I turn on the headset, it connects straight away as hands-free, if I then hit play on the headset control, it connects as wireless stereo and the icon appears.
Running FuN_KeY_s_ROM_WWE_1.2.0 if that helps.
Jez.
SWEET!!!
I've confirmed this also works with my Sony MEX-BT2500 Bluetooth Car Stereo. I was seeing the same thing happen. My Handsfree was connecting as soon as I started the car, but the A2DP I had to go to the bluetooth settings and re-set the stereo as my Wireless Stereo.
tabashir was right in my case, I had to press the Play/Pause button to invoke the A2DP to reconnect.
Thanks a bunch for this answer, I've been driving myself crazy about this!
I have the Pioneer DEH-P9800BT Bluetooth Head Unit in my car, which supports stereo BT music streaming from any A2DP device.
I also have the HTC TyTN II Mobile which supports the same.
I have paired the two devices, and on the initial pairing successfully played music from the HTC through the Pioneer. When that worked, the BT Audio icon appears in the title bar of the mobile (headphones with a musical note in the middle).
However, after switching off the car and later returning, I have issues:
It is impossible to reconnect the BT stereo music playback, unless I delete the Pioneer device from the list of BT devices within the mobile phone, then pair them again. Nothing else seems to work. Simply, I just want all music to be routed through the Pioneer whenever it is in range of the mobile.
Are you able to solve either problem?
Same problem
My Dopod 838Pro and my Nokia a2dp headset work fine when they are initially paired, but the only way to make them work together after disconnecting either unit, is to delete the pairing and set up the pairing all over again as above.
A further issue for me is that my headphones work fine for outgoing calls, but incoming calls are routed to my handset speaker.
I have had the Nokia BT a2dp headset now for three days and am at a loss after much experimenting with all of the suggessions earlier in this thread.
I am a new memebr and would be so greateful for any advice. Apologies if this is a problem covered elsewhere.
I am about to make you very happy...
The default solution is to go into your Bluetooth settings page on the music device where you see the Pioneer BT Unit, and (on Windows Mobile 6) hold the stylus down ('right-click') then 'Set as Wireless Stereo', when you get in the car. It should now connect back to the stereo. That is a pain though an many screen-taps.
The other solution I found is to download freeware program A2DPToggle, which provides a one-click function for this on the WM6 home screen

Thanks so much!!!
You have made me very happy.
I do not mind all the screen taps, I am just so relieved that my headset finally works, both with music and sending calls.
One further question: My BT headset is now fine for music and ordinary calls but it still will not do activate when I am talking on my SIP application (Fring). Has anyone sorted this one out yet? Thanks again.
Best regards!!

Thanks for finding that! Just installed a brand new Kenwood KDC-BT838U and had this problem. A2DP Toggle was great but there was one feature I wanted that it didnt have. With command line options you could turn a2dp on or off, but there was no toggle option. So I wrote another one, A2DPSwitch. Description here:

BT to laptop
Hello,
i have an issue with the BT connection to laptop using active sync.
when i establish a connection to the laptop first time, all is ok,
but... the HTC HD2 BT not connect automatically to the laptop when i go and back close....then i need to establish connection again. how can i tell the BT to connect automatically to the laptop every time?
thanks.
I have just found out this small app and it seems great for me. Maybe it is too late to ask this favour, could you please do another executable that toggles bluetooth on and a2dp on, and in second press toggles both off?.
Your current executable works great for me, but I have to turn BT on previosly, it would be great if the executable could do both things.
Best regards and thank you very much for this great idea.

Hello all. I have recently bought an HD2, and I have tried this BT trick I prepare for the diamond, but doesn´t work in HD2, Anyone Knows something similar for the HD2, to enable A2DP automatically without having to enter BT config screen?
I have tried enabling BT first in the HD2, then turning on the headset, and pressing play, but it connects with hansd free profile, snif....
Best regards and thank you in advance.
Also on my Desire with Philips SHB6102.
Headset is paired correctly.
This Headset used phone and media profile but i use only media.
When i switch off phone profile in the options of the headset it doesn't auto-connect with media profile only!
Any tip?

decent fm transmitter

Hi guys, is there anywhere a small fm transmitter with mini usb so can be attached and powered directly from TC.Some range of Sony Ericson phones are offering some for their devices.
It would be very nice if we have something like that.
No luck searching the net

To be honest, I don't think there is such a thing as a decent FM transmitter. Why would you want to limit your entire music library to FM quality at best? There are so many better options out there from Stereo Bluetooth A2DP to direct line in options. But if you must go for imo poor sounding FM, maybe the Motorola T505 (it uses an A2dp connection to the phone and an fm connection to the radio and has a built in rechargeable battery).

Here are some others. Parrot and Venturi offer similar solutions. Ego has some high end (non-FM) models.
http://www.a2dp.info/A2DP-Devices/A2DP-Car-Accessories.html
Well, I don't know but I am not realy aiming to get the perfect sound out from my car stereo.I ve got a cheap transmitter which works just fine, but you still have to connect cables and chargers and it is mess in the car.
Of course there are so many better ways to connect via bluetooth,or change your car stereo with a b/t compatable and so on, but I don't want to spend £100-£200 just to listen music in my car.
Regards
Not sure if it's available in the UK yet, but I'm very pleased with my Venturi, http://www.myventuri.com/
Looks cool, A2DP-in, line-in, line-out, FM-out, charges HTC via mini-USB, shows song titles via RDS (depends on media player support) and has a surprisingly good sound quality through FM. Maybe a bit too much bass boost but I like it. The only disadvantages for me are (a) that it powers off instantly when the cig-lighter power drops (and doesn't reconnect automatically but there are WM tools to help with that) and (b) it fakes the Travel Pilot signal so the radio won't change to the 'real' FM TP when broadcasted.
It's maybe not the cheapest option (~100€) but it's something I can definetely recommend.
Yes I ve seen those kits as well, and they are available in UK.I was just thinkig-first you connect via bluetooth and then the device sends it through FM so whats the point?
So having just FM transmitter like this one will be ideal...

Maybe soon in China they will make one

I would like to buy ventury mini, but i have a question about handsfree function: I have a touch cruise (it is not in list at ventury webpages, but i hope it is supported too) and in every HTC phones it has not Phonebook use. So my question is, if I would like make a call, so I stop the music on the phone and press the call button on ventury and ON MY PHONE select contact and call. An incoming call just pick up by ventury mini green phone icon. Is that true? Or it is not possible to use it like handsfree with touch cruise because is not supported Phonebook use.
What is correct. Thank you
Not sure if I understand you 100%. But the Venturi works fine with the Touch Cruise (I have one too).
It does not support the phonebook, but that is no problem - you just make the calls with the phone, not the Venturi. Just use the phone as you normally do (start call / accept call / hang up etc) and the Venturi will act as your "remote microphone" and connection to the car speakers (via radio) if you know what I mean. There is no need to touch any key on the Venturi if you don't want to.
How about this one?
Any opinions?
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/New-FM-Transm...oryZ3728QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Dear all I confirm: Venturi mini and Touch Cruise works just fine. In Italy it is quite difficult to find free FM frequencies, but once you find one the quality is good indeed. And also the microphone works good.

Cruise to CarAudiosystem with BT

Hi!
Got a little question I hope someone here can help me with.
Is there a way to connect the mediaplayer in Cruise to the caraudiosystem with Bluetooth?
I got a NissanQashqai with BT handsfree and it works great in general (there are some complaints in microphonequality though...)
I had hoped it should be possible to play music from the cruise via the BT connection aswell, but sofar no sucess.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Pair it and then use BTAudio (if needed)
You should check the pairing guidelines of your car with a bluetooth enabled device. Follow those steps and you should be able to pair your cruise with the bluetooth of the car. Ofcourse, you'll have to make your device discoverable. Also, If you experience that all audio is not being transferred to your paired device (your car), use a utility like BTAudio on your cruise. Hope this helps.
Music is only supported through car systems with the A2DP profile. You need to check car's manual to make sure it actually supports A2DP. However, the majority of oem systems don't support this and only a few aftermarket systems do. Besides going aftermarket, as reccomended by the above poster, BTAudio can provide a makeshift fix, however the music quality will be poor as it will be at best telephone quality (liken it to listening to music through a phone call).
Aftermarket is truly the best way to go if you want wireless. Here are a few pics of my io Play setup which supports the handsfree and headset profies (HSF/HSP) as well as the stereo music and remote control profiles (A2DP/AVCRP).

12V FM transmitter with USB connection to Cruise
As I have checked around and tried to get a easy solution for connection via BT, I now beleve there are none. The car is simply not fitted with so advanced BT system, too bad. It would be so simple and neat if it worked...
Anyway, lurking around and reading all about FM-transmitters instead, but not really finding a good product here either.
It would be nice with a 12V FM transmitter, fitted with an USB connection, where the crusie will get powersupply and identyfies the FM transmitter as a wired headset.
I bought one model to try it out, http://www.clasohlson.se/Product/Product.aspx?id=16990147
but had no sucess, it charges ok, but it does not see the charger as a headset and sends out the sound. The transmitter needs to see the Cruise as a USB-memorystick, and controls the USB-stick with stop/play/fwd/bwd.
Anyway, tried the WM5 storage 1.73, but it does not seem to work...
Any ideas of a better product or a solution?

[APP] BT Audio Toggle

Before I go any further I want to explicitly express that I only have made this small release to make my own life a little bit more comfortable. I make this remark because I do not want to offend the developer of the basic component of my release in any way.
My release relies completely of the functionality that Vijay555 built into his VJVolubilis release. This great piece of software (that has much more features than I use) can be found here: http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJVolubilis
===========================================================
As I have a Bluetooth carkit with a reasonable sound quality, I wanted to use this carkit to play podcasts over my car speakers. VJvolubilis is very well capable of toggling the BT Audio gateway, so the functionaliuty is available (see link above). But I wanted this functionality to be better accessible when driving.
So I created:
- A Icon resource with a Green and a Red BT icon
- 2 shortcuts that send the agon/agoff parameter to VJVolubilis in order to switch on of off the BT Audio gateway and that make use of the customized BT icons
Having it all (together with the VJVolubilis executable) in a single installer cab gives me just what i wanted. The shortcuts are placed in a Start menu programs group "BT Audio" (please note the custom icons apparently will only be visible in the start menu after a soft reset).
I have put the two shortcuts on my Sense shortcuts (in Sense the custom icons are visible right after intall !), so i can now switch the BT Audio gateway on and off quite easy (ie when driving).
I use this on WM6.5 and Sense 2.1 on my MDA Vario IV / HTC Touch Pro
One more remark on the credits: This release relies hugely on the work that Vijay555 put into VJVolubilis

Absolutely!
I don't know if VJVolubilis still works as well as it should as I haven't looked at it for quite some time, but the code I used should work on all Microsoft Bluetooth stack phones, so absolutely, be my guest

Well VJVolubilis has been working on WM5 and WM6.x for me to toggle the BT Audio Gateway. So you did quite a good job back in 2006!!
I tried this on my tilt2 with EnergyRom and on clicking BT Audio On does nothing. When I turn on bluetooth it's connecting as heatset, but for stereo , it's connecting when I select stereo audio from communication manager/ bluetooth. But with this cab file installed nothing happens. It's really difficult to go to settings every time connecting to audio.
I am not sure if Rhodium has Microsoft stack or not. Does it only work with Microsoft stack?

This app will NOT use the Stereo capabilities of the phone.
It just opens the BT Audio gateway that normally is used for telephone calls via Bluetooth. This way you can use any ordinary BT carkit (or headset) to e.g. listen to podcasts.
The quality is reasonable. Also, after any phone call coming in you will have to re-open the gateway (as the phone app closes it alfter ending the call).

Android Gamepad on windows?

I just bought an ASUS nexus player gamepad. paired it on windows, everything works great, except the analog sticks??, paired it to my GS5 and it works just peachy.
To be more specific. I tried it in x360ce, xpadder, and default driver. All on windows 8.1 x64.
Doesn't show up in x360ce at all
Shows up in xpadder and mapping works great, but both joysticks seem to be some strange axis on windows.
Regular driver is pretty whack on windows to say the least.
Disappointing. I know its meant for the nexus player, but PC support could have been easily implemented on their end. Asus usually does it right. They didn't with this product.
If I can find a way to get the sticks working, I'm going to try to get an xinputwrapper, for full PC support.
UPDATE: pcsx2's lilypad plugin detects the following:
DirectInput controller (no surprise there)
Left stick: up/down axis 8 - left/right axis 9
Right stick: up/down axis 6 - left/right axis 7
cant figure out how to remap those axies, seeing as most of these apps only support a limited number of axes.
Update 2: Only bumping this as i feel it is something important, as this will be an issue with every android gamepad standard complying device.
I was hoping that using the registry, I would be able to remap the axes to those that windows wants to use.
navigating to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\MediaProperties\PrivateProperties\Joystick\OEM\VID_0B05&PID_4500
(Where vid&pid represent your gamepad, and my vid/pid represented my BT as its a wireless android pad of course)
Also trying to understand the registry options for the gamepad axes will lead you to:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff538340(v=vs.85).aspx
Although going through that msdn, it would seem like the axes arent supported. The full list of properties as described in Lilypad is:
Button 0-8
Numeric Keypad
Consumer Control
Hat switches (4)
Accelerator/+/-
Brake/+/-
Axis6+/-
Axis7+/-
Axis8+/-
Axis9+/-
And DirectInput only supports

There must be a way to capture RAW output and convert it to directinput at least and Xinput at best, I wish someone else would chime in that knew more about this.

Update 2: Only bumping this as i feel it is something important, as this will be an issue with every android gamepad standard complying device.
I was hoping that using the registry, I would be able to remap the axes to those that windows wants to use.
navigating to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\MediaProperties\PrivateProperties\Joystick\OEM\VID_0B05&PID_4500
(Where vid&pid represent your gamepad, and my vid/pid represented my BT as its a wireless android pad of course)
Also trying to understand the registry options for the gamepad axes will lead you to:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff538340(v=vs.85).aspx
Although going through that msdn, it would seem like the axes arent supported. The full list of properties as described in Lilypad is:
Button 0-8
Numeric Keypad
Consumer Control
Hat switches (4)
Accelerator/+/-
Brake/+/-
Axis6+/-
Axis7+/-
Axis8+/-
Axis9+/-
And DirectInput only supports

Its strange that your controller isnt recognized by x360ce, afaik if windows sees it x360ce should too. Have you tried with the latest version of x360ce? There is a beta which if it gets your controller detected, youd be a step closer
heres link from the official site http://jocys.com/files/software/x360ce.App.3.0.1.Beta.1.zip
Im in a similar situation , but with a Moga Pro Power controller. In this case the triggers arent detected with dinput. They ofcourse work with lilypad, and they are detected like accelerator/brake. But looking at x360ce device objects page for the controller, they are actually revealed to be Y and Rz axis. But i got stuck at the binary values for the remaps, and im not sure what i need to put there.
You know I was pretty much told by a moderator that this wasn't important, that no developer would want to work on this because its "not important". So I went and returned the damn thing that same day. Still pissed that that guy had the nerve., after I clearly put effort in but oh well. Guess someone else will have to deal with it.
Just to forward the moderators crap message:
Ah, I misunderstood in that case. I'll move it to the Android General section momentarily. Development sections aren't for research but for development related releases (and in some instances, development related discussions, but those are usually about ROMs/kernels/actual code). From experience, though, I can tell you posting on the development forum will just get your thread ignored by uninterested developers and slammed by normal users.
Let me know I'd you have any questions.

Connection Issue - Dual ASUS Gamepads On ASUS Windows 10 PC
I just bought a new desktop (ASUS M32CD) and i installed a GTX 760 and i bought two ASUS Gamepads (ASUS TV500BG) thinking that i would be able to use my computer to play two player games with my friends. The controllers are bluetooth and the computer is bluetooth 4.0.
When i use one controller that one controller works fine. When i try to connect the second controller , it connects for about 10 seconds then disconnect. So my issue is that only one will stay connected. But both are paired.
ISSUE: Both controllers pair, but only one stays connected. Both stay connected for a moment then one disconnects. Before is disconnects its stops being responsive.
TROUBLESHOOTED: I know ASUS has released drivers for windows 10 for the gamepads. I have installed only the 64-bit drivers and uninstalled and reinstalled a few times now. Batteries are fine, i get the same results when i try to connect they opposite controller, the first one to connect stays connected. The other connects briefly then shuts off.
ATTACHED: device manager screenshot, system info screenshot, bluetooth settings screenshot
