Does anyone know if its possible to get an icon in the status bar that tells if my bluetooth headset is connected? Right now its impossible to tell if im connected or not, apart from the short notification that pops up for a second saying bluetooth headset connected..
what id really like to see is an icon in the status bar similar to the one that appears when a headphone is plugged in.
I searched market to no avail..
Cheers!
If you look better @ the bleutooth icon u'll see it's changed when u connect your headset

Please help me out I'm incredibly frustrated with this thing. I recently got the PDA2k and installed WM05 on it. It looks very nice and it runs speedy with no problems. My problem is the bluetooth which is huge thing to me. Either my headset (Tekkeon Eztalker Mini) is not compatible which I doubt or I'm making a stupid mistake.
This is what I did step by step: I click on the bluetooth icon and turn on the bluetooth, I then put my headset in pairing mode and the imate is able to recognize it and I enter the Pw and I put Set as handsfree. That's it, I would think I would be done at this point yet nothing happens, the headset doesn't do anything and I know its not Tekkeons fault because I was able to hook it up easily with my HP 6315.
So what's going what am I missing?
Also theres a tab at the bottom called "Com Ports" but I only see under this option "Incoming Port", and the description at the top says there should be another option called "New outgoing port". Does this have anything to do with it?
What Am i doing wrong? It's driving me crazy I can't really use the phone without the headset.
help me out pls
Bluetooth
I know the feeling, i have gone back to 2003 cause of that but now i am back on wm5. The bluetooth issue is not fixed yet, it is not stable, it keeps going off. There is a suspend cab file, but it does not work for me yet, also try pokect zen beta. You might get a longer period of bluetooth
thanks for responding, but the problem is not that it suspends or stops working. It doesn't start working at all even though the imate detects it. It's like it's not connected at all, not that it disconnects. I'm doing something wrong I just don't know what.
The bluetooth piece is not faulty and the unit is practically brand new. whats going on?
I used "Display Switch" binded button (From Wisbar Advance 2) or "Toggle Screen" (From SPB Pocket Plus) to turn off the backlight instead of using power button .
This work around will keep bt connection alive.
Note:
1. If you suspend your BA using psShutXP your bt connection .
2. You have to disable auto turn off device under Start -> Setting -> Power
Note:
1. If you suspend your BA using psShutXP your bt connection will be disconnected.
I'm sorry I'm not sure I'm explaining myself correctly. I understand that if the power goes off I will lose the BT connection but the problem is not KEEPING the connection alive, the problem is MAKING the connection. I follow all the steps , the imate recognized the headset but I'm not able to use it..also shouldn't a headset picture show up at the top of the screen when the bt headset is connected (cuz mine doesnt). what am i doing wrong?
thanks.
still need help please.. if someone can walk me through how to setup a bluetooth connection that would be great cuz I apparently haven't done it right.
The headset icon only shows in Phone app
The headset icon only shows up in the Phone application. It no longer is displayed in the notification area (top row).
If your device is paired up, when you make a call, you will see the headset icon in the top right corner.
You may also need to clear any old pairings that you headset has. I have a Jabra 250 and it happens all the time.
there we go you have solved my problem!. I didnt' have to open up the phone application on my hp 6315 to use the bt. So wait can I listen to music with windows media player through the bt headset or does it only work when making phone calls? I was able to listen to music on the HP 6315, is it different with the Imate or is it the NEW 05 os? Please enlighten me
thank you thank you
also one other thing does this mean that if i want to use the headset with the phone that I have to press the answer button on the imate rather than the headset..cuz that would suck big time.
what about when people call me can i answer with the answer button of the bt headset or no?
It works fine with the headset button for answering or hanging up.

On my old XDA IIs, when a bluetooth headset was connected, a white icon appeared in the title bar next to the signal strength. This doesn't seem to happen on the Orbit.
The only way to tell if the headset is active, is to switch to the phone view, which is quite dull.
Any ideas? Or is there any shareware/hacks to show that the headset is connection from the today screen.
I second this, i like to know the answer!

Thirded!! I'm really missing this feature from my old SE K800i.
Im also looking for this function on my orbit. Hope someone can come up with a solution.
Now this is getting some interest, can anyone shed any light on why it is not possible to connect to GPRS via the G icon, like you used to be able to do on the old XDA's
Is there a way of making this "icon" vissible on my todayscreen - only when the BT headset is connected
Now i need to press the green phone buttom and go to "phone" to see wether my BT headset is connected or not. It would bee great to have a icon on my today screen
Thanx in advance
I recently got a Blueant Q1 and it is suppose to support A2DP so that phone ringing, music and other sounds are suppose to play over the bluetooth instead of using the speaker.
I have paired, reset, updated the firmware and paired again after reset and still can't seem to get it to a2dp. Normal bluetooth profile seems to work fine. I can call and receive calls, but Video player, Audio Player all the stuff that shoudl come over A2DP does not seem to be working. I have firmware 8.2 on the Q1, and 8.19 was suppose to be the one that included A2DP support.
When I go under settings->wireless and network->Bluetooth settings-> Blueant Q1 v8.2 options the only options is Phone(Use for phone audio) and of course it's checked on automatically. Nothing about stereo or other audio.
If I playback anything, or even if it uses Blueants own android app to "speak text messages" it comes over the speaker...
Any ideas? does A2DP need to be enabled in some way?
well, only about 5 minutes more (of the 2 or so hours of messing with this device) to get it working.
The icon next to my bluetooth device was showing a Phone icon in bluetooth settings. I held down and chose disconnect and unpair and after that the device unpaired and the icon changed to a headset icon and said press to pair with this device...I did, and the icon stayed like a pair of headphones and now does its A2dp thing...
So if you have a a2dp device and it shows the phone icon, unpair/disconnect, and hopefully the icon will change to the next....stage.....
Thank you so much! This was driving me crazy!!! Must be a bug, doesnt make sense why you have to disconnect and unpair before it works. Thanks again!
I had the same issue, but finally worked. What I notice now is that the stereo audio quality is not that good, it sounds like lower quality on the treble.
My old Tilt sounded much better. Any ideas? maybe hard reset?

I noticed the icon difference, but couldn't figure it out. Thank you so much for this quick fix!
I have no idea what makes it finally change. It worked on one of my captivates but remains a phone icon on another with the same rom and setup. Super weird bug.

YES!!!!! I've been fracking with my HD2 for hours. I just installed Core Cell's last Android SD rom and I had no functioning A2DP. I tried installing toggles and all sorts of stuff. I was about to reinstall the whole rom. I had searched for solutions but did not see this thread at first. I just tried your solution and I happily have Joe Bonamassa blasting in my right ear. THANK YOU!
