Hi,
so I paired my WM7 with my Windows 7 notebook. What I get is a headphone connection so that I can use my notebook as a headphone for my mobile. Great, so now I can share one headset for my PC and my phone! However there's one glitch... The notebook accepts every call automatically and without any delay... Is there any way to control that? I just would like to have a green and red button to control my calls on my PC...

Using Jawbone for audio with Windows xp laptop
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have a Jb which I use very successfully with my Nokia N75 phone. I want to use it for skype, etc on my windows xp laptop (a Thinkpad). I have tried several times to set it up but when I connect, I get an annoying rapid 8-tone signal about every 5 seconds. I suspect I have to change some audio setting on the laptop but I cant seem to find and fix the problem. Does anyone know how to make this work?
What is beeping your laptop or your headset? What bluetooth stack are you using on your laptop?
Jawbone with Windows PC
Thanks for your interest. The headset is beeping. I am not sure what bluetooth stack I have. I have a linksys usbbt100 bluetooth device plugged into a usb port. I set windows to use bluetooth for audio and microphone instead of the default internal Intel device. it worked perfectly the first time I plugged it in and paired it with the jawbone. then the next day I tried again and something was wrong. I dont recall exactly what I did but I have now messed with all of the windows settings and cant get it to work. I have also deleted and re-paired a couple of times as well as reset the jawbone. I spent two hours on the phone with linksys and they gave up. The computer works fine for a data transfer via bluetooth with my nokia phone which I did with the help of the linksys tech. I spent a half hour on the phone with Aliph, the jawbone maker, and they said it was not their problem.
You're probably screwed
I think you're out of luck getting the Jawbone to work with XP. XP doesn't currently support bluetooth headsets, and Aliph decided to embrace style of substance and save a few pennies per device by not licensing the WIDCOMM drivers for their headset.
I haven't looked at it, but check out the SP3 white paper to see if that might give you the services you need.
I had this *exact* problem and couldnt figure out how to solve it (my first bluetooth headset)
I think that ringing sound means the PC is trying to connect to the headset, and is waiting for you to press the talk button. So, I pressed the talk button and *nothing*. I pressed it again, and again etc... still nothing. It turns out, I wasnt pressing it hard enough. Anyway, it connected after a while and I was happy.
I think some sets might just have a stiff button or something. But I find I dont have to press so hard anymore - maybe it just takes a while to "break in" the button for everyday use...
I recommend the following steps:
- press the reset button on the jawbone
- pair the device
- turn it off using the talk button (try pressing it from different angles with different pressures)
- turn it on
- wait for your bluetooth software to detect it as a headset
- connecting to the headset using the pc
- wait for the 8 ringings
- try pressing the talk button from different angles with different pressures. the ringing should stop and it should start working...
Hope this helps,
James.
Thanks
I will try this sequence and the careful pushing of the talk button tomorrow. I hope it works. Thanks for the valuable coaching.
Hello at all,
I've searched a long time for a solution, but I really couldn't find it.
I have an
- Ameo (same like HTC x7500, with original t-mobile WM6 german) and a
- LG Style-i HBM 700 - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001CZICHA , for calling.
I had bought a couple of weeks ago a wunderful bluetooth bracelet LM 959. http://www.lm-technologies.com/ci/index.php?/products/details/38
Both, the bracelet and the Style-i want and could connect to my Ameo over the same profile (phone profile, hands-free).
I've tried a couple of days, but it doesn't run as I want:
I want that the bracelet will shake when the phone is ringing (that's normal).
And then I will accept the call with my LG Style-i. If the call finish, all should go again in stand by.
If the next call arrive, the bracelet have to shake first, and so on.
But reality is hard and bad:
If I power on the bracelet, and power on the LG iStyle the bracelet go in sleep and the LG Style-i is active connect to my Ameo. No action's could make the bracelet function, only if I power off the LG Style-i. But than I couldn't take a call (not with this brick on my ear)
I think both are using the same profile (hands-free). And only one could go in active, or ?
Is there a way to let both function, and as I want ?
I would be lucky for any suggestions.. any idea ?
I'm afraid I can't answer that with any experience, but I think the bluesoleil driver will allow connections to two devices.
When someone with more experience comes along, does anyone know if it is possible to connect two devices with different profiles.
I wish to connect my car kit (HFP) and an audio streaming connection (A2DP), to a kaiser, and keep them both connected.
ping, I want infor on this to for my ameo before I buy the bracelet!!
new status:
I've seen, that all entries in the registry between the braclet and the LG style-i are different. Not the channel entry : both are channel 0x2.
I've changed the channel from bracelet in the registry:
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Bluetooth/Device/001b3500023b
from 0x2 to 0x1.
Bracelet connect with Ameo furthermore, but situation doesn't changed.
Now I will change the ROM from 6 to 6.1 (from original t-mobile 6 to sogarth 6.1) this weekend.
let me see ...
bad story ... sorry.
I've changed the ROM from original t-mob WM6 to sogarth WM 6.1 ROM but without any changes.
I've no solution to connect the bluetoorh bracelet AND the Bluetooth headset at the same time.
Any other idea's ?
please help ...
Not possible afaik. I personally tried it when I had two Motorola s9s and only one would connect at the same time :S.
Does anyone know if you can connect to *different* profile devices?
I want to connect a HFP device and an AD2P device.

Hello all,
I'm currently using wm6.1 build 20273.1.3.3 cook (FInixNOver v3.6) on my Trinity with iDream BTSH01 + Nokia BH-102.
The BTSH01 can act as either "Hands Free" or/and "Wireless Stereo" (A2DP).
I can select which mode I want to use on that device by using the standard "Bluetooth Settings-->Device" menu.
The BH-102 is only an "Hands Free" device.
I successfully can listen music on the iDream and make/receive calls with the Nokia.
As you may guess, my main use of these combination is on the car! the Trinity is used as my MP3 player, my GPS and my phone with ear bud, while its battery is being charged.
The BH-102 works very smooth alone! just need to power it on, wait 2-3 seconds to ear the beep and start to use it, even while receiving a call (it happens a lot while I'm driving!).
That particular cook has the BT sound volume adjustment working very well!
The BTSH01 is tricky to pair... I always have to start it in "pairing" mode and do a BT search on the Trinity (I have a button on the "Today" for that!) to have it work properly. If I not do this way, the music is shopped in 500ms pieces !!!
I can only launch the music/sound app (Mortplayer and/or GPS app) after pairing it. If not, the sound goes out through the internal speaker.
By having the BTSH01 decoding music, the HTC becomes slower (still ok for the GPS app)!
Now, combining both... I'm using both since a couple of days and I still have no procedure to have both running ok (BTSH01 as "Wireless Stereo" and BH-102 as "Hands Free") at first shot!
Sometimes the BTSH01 start to decode my calls, sometimes the BH-102 is not able to pair ... it's always been asked the PIN code.
But, once both are up, I have no more troubles and can start my trip!
i'm using an r35 itech set as handsfree...although it can be switched to include a2dp. however, i also have a sony ericsson car kit that's set for a2dp or wireless stereo. thus, when i'm in the car my u1000 automatically connects to the ericsson and thus streams the music. any calls that come i can answer through my r35. when i leave the car, the ericsson then disconnects with my u1000 (either through range or when i shut off the ignition). my r35 is continuously bonded and thus any calls are answered through it.
i don't think it's really possible to connect 2 bt devices with hands free profiles at the same time. i tried that with both my r35 and ericsson kit....if the first device bonded is my r35 a message appears on my ameo indicating an error when i try to set hands free. it only accepts wireless stereo.
cheers
I don't think so. In my opinion it's not possible. u can use stereo.
Ive been searching around but cant seem to find any apps that would do this. seems to me like it would be quite simple to do. anyone know o something similar to able to quickly put something together?
Main reason at the moment is that i currently have a long wire diagonaly across my room to connect my laptop to my speakers. I just thorght it would be realy good if i could plug my phone into my speakers and then send music to it via bluetooth. Im sure other people have been in this situation where an audio cable has not quite been long enough.
Might be a bit harder but possibly this could work over wifi too and would be able to work from room to room. I expect this would require a pc client though..
any thorghts?
I would love to have something like this. The phone would behave like a bluetooth speaker or headphone (A2DP). This would be fantastic. I was looking for something like this a year ago, I thought I would find a software which helps me do this, but I was unable to find anything then. Maybe we can find something now.
I could try developing such a software if there is not anything of this sort already available. I would be glad if any experienced developer can provide us some starting points, keywords, etc., which would speed up the initial activities.
Use UPNP media server
the simpler solution is to use unpn media server over wifi networks
like twonkys media server. or xmbc
basically the computer where the files are stored will server the files to any network attached device including HTC through webbrowser.
I have my dish tv /Satellite decoder connected to home pc using vlc and watch the tv on my HTC HD using VLC
for sound files i directly load them over network disk

Bluetooth Audio Receiver
I've got a TV which supports bluetooth headphone. With such a software, I'd be able to use my HTC HD2 as a bluetooth headphone. This should turn the phone into a bluetooth audio reciver, rather than a transmitter.
I've been looking for this software for ages and appreciate any ideas.

yea this would have been good. was halfway through downloading xmbc when i realised it wont work in my case.. im at university and the wireless has some security issues that wont let it connect to my phone
also wireless drains quite a bit more battery than bluetooth and would probably have to plug in the phone each time you do this.
some great links though, now we need some bluetooth ones!!!
Is this what you need?

Let's see if I get that right:
You want to send BT stereo audio from your BT-enabled laptop to your phone, and plug your phone into speakers for audio output. Right?
Might be easier to get a bluetooth receiver for your speakers. There are some for your home audio system (e.g. at amazon).
What I did was get a stereo bluetooth headset receiver. You can use it as a bluetooth headset (in your car, on the bus, wherever) OR you can simply plug it into your speakers. Just be sure to find one with a 3,5mm plug (and not wired-on headphones) so that you can use your own headphones or plug in your speakers. There's a choice of fine receivers from
Nokia (BH-214, BH-500, ...)
SonyEricsson (HBH-DS205, HBH-DS980, ...)
Jabra (BT3030, ...)
or you can try and get a cheap but great one from the itech clip series.

no, I dont think so. thanks for the suggestion though!
we arnt trying to get sound from the phone to a bluetooth speaker but instead turn the phone itself into a speaker whcih can recieve audio from other bluetooth devices.
for example if watching a film on my laptop, i would like to plug my phone into my speakers, connect up the bluetooth, and watch rather than running a cable to the speakers which are a long way away.
Nik, you bet me by one...

to be honest ive actualy already ordered this:
http://shoponspot.com/bluetooth-20-a2dp-avrcp-stereo-music-receiver-and-handsfree-black/
I still would like to see this app developed as i can imagine future situations where this happens and i dont want to have to carry this around everywhere.
also people with bluetooth tvs im sure would prefure not to have to use another device all the time and occasionaly you get bluetooth headset transmitters in public places where this might be useful.
hope it is possible!
ooo wow! im a senior member now!!
well i received my bluetooth headset but unfortunatly it charges through the 3.5mm headphone jack so i am unable to leave it there to just work
Ive also tried plugging in a headphone splitter but it realy dosnt like that!! so that means every time i leave my room i will have to put the reciever on charge and every time i return i will have to turn it on and plug it in.
does anyone know if it would be possible to get the phone to work as a bluetooth audio reciever? seems like something it should be able to do
I'd like to bump this because I've been searching for ages for exactly this. I'd personally like to go one step further and have a client that would support A2DP and the handsfree protocol. The latter I would like to allow me to answer and initiate calls to my work mobile using my HD2 as though it was a bluetooth handsfree kit. Then I could use one phone for all my calls.
I can imagine a wide range of useful applications that other solutions like wifi audio streaming or a dedicated bluetooth audio receiver wouldn't match.
I wish I knew how to write software... Maybe if I ever have a few hundred hours of spare time on my hands I'll learn and write an app to do this.
i also want this.
please anyone help.
This would be great.. i currently have an nvidia shield tv and I can plug my normal wired headphones into the nvidia shield's bluetooth remote. The problem is the remote's battery life only lasts a few days when used like this. I would love to be able to use my mobile phone as a back up for when the nvidia remote battery dies. For some reason the nvidia remote won't charge unless my head phones are unplugged.

HTC TP2 - TMobile
WinMo 6.1 Prof
I was wondering if there was a registry tweek, or some software, something that would allow me to up the volumne of my device. If I plug in the mini usb headset, during phone conversations and watching movies everything is good. If I am not using a headset or using a third party headset during a phone conversation, I have a hard time hearing the person, especially in the car. Movies with third party headset (3 mm plug with mini usb adaptor) are also too low volumne.
Is there any way to pump up the volumne?
Someone had mentioneed increasing the HKEY_Current_User\Controlpanel\SoundCategories\InCall. number. Any thoughts?
....................
What does the cab do? I assume it changes some registry setting. I always like to know what registry settings are getting changed.
THanks for the reply.
I have here 2 pair of multipoint earbuds (jabra 85T and Beoplay Ex).
Both earbuds are paired to a windows laptop and android phone (Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra) and both connected at the same time to earbuds.
When i play music from spotify/youtube on my windows laptop, and press the power button on my phone the music/video stops on the windows laptop. (a real pause).
It seems there is connection-pull or sound-pull that stops the music/video.
I have disabled all sound alerts which are available all on the phone, but still i have the same problem.
Anybody recognize this? maybe know a full solution or can reproduce this to find the problem?
Would be great helpfull!
Thanks!
