I am not entirely sure if this is possible but I want to make my bluetooth headset my headphone as well (instead of plugging in the wired handsfree which I got with my unit). The purpose? mostly to use SKYPE for LD calls - skype does not seem to have an option to send to BT headset. (I also want to listen to music on my BT handsfree but that it another issue - less important)
Any ideas?
You cannot listen sound over BT. Only phone calls can be routed to headset.
this isnt actually true, i managed to get all sound to run over my BT headset on my alpine the other day and was able to listen to mp3s over my jabra 250v but as of yet i cant work out how i did it, thats how i stumbled accross this thread
I just bought a headset for my Atom Exec and I can't work it all out, I want to listen to music from the memory card so I have set the bluetooth to Hands Free, Wireless Stereo and headset, all three are ticked. All is working fine but the only problem I have is when the phone rings you can only here it through the stereo headphones which makes sence but I can see this causing problems if I put the headphones down, I will miss calls as I want hear the phone ringing. Is there a way to make the phone ring also threw the speaker on the phone as well while using the headphones?
Unfortunately I don't think so. If you turn the Stereo Headset profile on all sound is routed to the headset. If someone knows how it would be great.
What you can do instead is set the phone to vibra + ring mode so that if you don't have the headset on, at least the phone will still shake.
hi Seal,
which bluetooth headset did you get? i'm asking because i just got the atom (not exec) and can't get the BT to work as a wireless headset - it only works when making calls.
also, you mentioned 'wireless stereo' checkbox, i don't see this option in the atom but it could be an exec feature.
thanks.
Hi, I bought the Plantronics, I use them every day and love them, it is such a great thing to not have wires hanging around.

"I has an Atom", and I also have a mono, ordinary Bluetooth headset (Planex BT-03HS).
Seal: try turning off the Wireless Stereo profile, then getting this program called BlueMusic by Teksoft - it has an option you can uncheck that will allow the ringtone to come through its original source instead, while still routing music through your BT.
Yes, the program can do this even in unlimited trial mode - however, it only puts your music back on the BT band after a call in full-mode. I have no idea if this will work on stereo headphones like yours, but it's worth a shot.
Slamming_Sammy: With BlueMusic I can pipe stuff from TCPMP to bluetooth headset - which supports only handsfree - just fine, whilst still not missing a call. BlueMusic emulates the A2DP protocol so your phone doesn't have to. There's actually a free binary out there called BTAudio (which Bluemusic is based on), but its less stable than Bluemusic when it comes to disconnects and receiving calls.
Oh, and by the way, the Atom does support Wireless Stereo (A2DP). However, you can ONLY see it if your bluetooth headset has the profile as well (mine doesn't by the way). AFAIK only stereo headsets have this; even the newest BT2.0 mono headsets don't.
thanks a lot Ultimate. I was just about to try btaudio which by the way, works great, so I won't try bluemusic yet. so you're saying if my BT headphone is A2DP capable then I wouldn't need to run btaudio to route audio to my headset?
thanks.
Yes, that's what I'm saying.
Bluetooth stereo headsets are expensive, tho, AND the Atom is known to have dodgy A2DP support (except with BT2.0 devices), so you might want to hold out on the purchase.
I got the HBH-DS200 headset, for music it works all fine.
But when i use it in a call the sound are really crappy. A lot of noice and very low volume.
I have tried my headset with other phones without this issue. does anyone have a solution to have the same clear sound in a phone call as i have when lissen to music.
i found another annoying bug. When a call are finished it shutdowns the bluetooth connection just for a few seconds so my headset disconnects.
Has anyone a working connection with HBH-DS200 headset?
I suspect it's my Tilt's problem coz A2DP drop happens to my DS220 and car kit JVC BT-1
Hi all,
I have a HTC Touch HD and I am using both Destinator and NDriver navigation programs.
Recently, I purchased a bluetooth headset (HTC BH M300) which supports A2DP.
Now, in top bar icons, I have another icon displayed, indicating the ability to stream music. I have a problem though…
All my device sounds (except of the incoming calls of course) are now streamed to the headset. When I use the navigation programs, the voice with directions come trhough the headset and not the speaker (like when I was using a non A2DP headset).
This is annoying because I don’t like having to wear the headset at all times while driving. I need to hear to the driving directions through the speaker and talk with the headset when in a call.
Is there a way to solve this?
Go to start/settings/connection/bluetooth and on your a2dp bluetooth headset uncheck set as wireless stereo , to remain only set as headset device
Hello,
If I use my BT headset, I can hear everything (phonecall, mp3, navigation program) with the headset, but not the fm-radio.
I have tried some bt-mono or other routing apps, but nothing worked. If BT is connected, also the 3,5 mm wired headset has no tone.
Is there a possibility, to hear fm-radio (no internetstreaming) over bluetooth?
FM doesn't work over bluetooth anymore
And I'm having problems with regular bluetooth audio. It stops working after a few hours.
