I dont even know if you can monitor the power of the headset.
i dare say it would have alot to do with the actual head set as much as the app, as the headset would have to send the data to the phone.
I think i read somewhere about someone doing this on a blackberry tho so maybe
what headset ya got?

constant bluetooth pairing drains batter on Jabra BT800

I just got Jabra BT800 and successfully paired with pda2k. When ever I turn the BT800 and bluetooth on pda2k on I get a little headset icon top.
Is this normal, it seemed to drain battery on BT800.

Every device will get drain the battery if BT is active, same happen with WiFi...because the device (radio) will search continously. But if the drain battery is u're BT device (BT800), maybe I can share with you...I use VThree BT Handsfree...the manual said standby 200 hours...but actually it only 4 days active and normal use...Before this, i use SonyEriscsson Bluetooth type HBH-65, manual said standy 70hours..actualy only 5-6hours.
...sorry for my bad english.

Artemis & Jabra bt620s problems

Hi, I really need some help to solve theese:
After connecting Jabra bt620s (bluetooth stereo headset) to Artemis there are only two profiles under this device: Handsfree and Wireless stereo (i guess the last means A2DP). I can place and receive calls and listen to music in stereo, even turn volume up and down.
1. But other buttons on headset don't work No play/pause, prev/next and rewinding. So what do I need to make them work? Are there any bt stack patches for Artemis like for Prophet, or maybe some special software? AFAIK there has to be special bt profile support to make the trick.
2. How to redirect all sounds to bt headset in stereo? I REALLY want to listen to fm-radio through Jabra 620. But even when bt headset is connected to Artemis radio goes to either connected wired headset or built in speaker Is there any solution?
Thanks in advance!

Re:
1. In order for the controls to work, the device should support the AVRCP bluetooth profile. Not sure though whether the Artemis supports that profile, and in any case this would not mean there would not be other issues.
2. Do you mean that the no sound is received by the Jabra, or that it is being received in mono? If the latter there is a registry change to a 'JointStereo' setting that should do the trick.

1. I guess that AVRCP bt profile is NOT supported on Artemis by default. The question is what can be done to somehow add this profile to Artemis. Applying some patches or something...
2. I mean that no sound is received by the Jabra. Sound goes to either wired headset or built in speaker.
AVRCP IS supported by the Artemis.
You need to make sure the player that you use supports as well. I have tried WMP and PocketMusic, and they both support it. Works great with my Jabra320s.
All my sounds are transfered automatically to my BT headset.. system sounds and my GPS program (MapKing) sounds.
Radio CAN NOT be run unless you have a wired headset inserted, as it acts as an antennae. Even so, I doubt sound will come to your BT headset. It just acts that way.
CHeers.

Indeed it is. It was Mort player's problem. Last release version doesn't support control buttons, but final available beta does!

Is is not ALL sounds, because radio sounds are not going in!

Sure thing I do plug the wired headset in. But sound goes to either built in speaker, or wired headset.

I REALLY hope that there IS the way at least to redirect radio output to bt headset instead of built in speaker. Maybe registry tweak or some special software.
So research on this topic continues!

Mask...I'm using same Jabra 320s as you. I am having a problem however. the music is skipping kind of like a scratched cd. Also the music intermintently speeds up and slows downs. Do you have this problem? Any ideas how to solve this?

Well, I gave it a try, but didn't download Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 yet. On fist try it doesn't do the trick Maybe because of lack of that MS thing. I'll get and try it later.
Thanks for helping anyways!

Whoa.. the speeding up and slowing down is little.. but noticeable. I didn't know anyone else would notice it.. hehe
Yes.. I do have that.. it happens especially after the pause.
I set my BitPool value to "45".. which has very little noise, but hardly skips. The thing is, I feel that if I make sudden moves or go further than 2 metres without a straight line of sight, the music will get cut off
Higher bitPool value will increase quality, and pauses.
How about you? What is your bitPool value?
Set to 45 aswell also do notice a high freqency wail in the background.

Yes it does.. but I'm outdoors and commuting most of the time when using the headset, and thus that level doesnt bother me much. It's a balance I would say.. But could be better..
If you do find a good tweak to increase the bitPool without skipping, do lemme know

I was looking for a way to do this, and this worked first time - thanks
I'm just using a mono headset - but it's fine

Radio without wired headset.

Im trying to get the radio on using a Blue tooth head set, but the phone asks for the wired headset. Has any1 a solution to get it on without using the headset?
There is a registry key 'Headset Connected' = 0 or 1 or something similar, sorry cannot remember what it is - I think its under the HTC keys in HKLM..
It didn't work for me when I tried it without the wired headphones connected and I don't I don't have a bluetooth headset to try it out with...
I don't think you'll get any reception anyway since the wired headset acts as the antenna but good luck all the same
WoW, thanks for a fast reply.
this is your registry key:
### AUDIO BOOST ENABLED ALSO WITHOUT HEADSET, KEEP IT! ###
### remember also to configure it in BoosterAudio program
HKLM\System\State\Hardware\Headset = 1
but without an headset plugged-in you wont find neither a station
bye,
davide
why would you want to access the radio without a headset plugged in? you have no antenna to recieve the signal anyway lol
Hello
I would like to use the radio as followed:
Connect a cable to the usb-connector (to have an antenna)
Listen at the music with a bluetooth headset (to have more freedom)
Is this possible ?
Could I use any usb-cable ?
Perhabs even an solar-or batterie driven charger?
That would be usefull in long bus-travelling, were I could store the diamond in the seat-pocket in front of me, and walk around with the headset on!
Thanks for suggestions

Why don't you put the phone in your pocket and walk around?

Bluetooth Handsfree with a2dp, mute button and good battery life

As the title says, i'm looking for a Bluetooth Handsfree with a2dp, mute button and good battery life. So far, I have found out plantronics voyager pro plus which satisfies this requirement, but its rather big. Are there any other good alternatives ?
Multi Mic for active noise cancellation is a plus
Please suggest...
why not check out the samsung hs3000
ive used it before , it has a nice battery life , great quality sound , 3.5mm for any headphones , music controls , volume controls , 2/3 eq settings , voice prompts ,
i dont know if it has a mute button but id rate it quite highly for a bluetooth headset
Also check out the Sony Ericsson MW600. Does everything I need.
Jabra icon or era will also do the trick. If you want full headset, try motorola S9-HD.

Jabra or Jawbone?
Thanks for the suggestions guys...I should have mentioned it in the first post, i'm not looking for a full headset...just 1 side mono one...that's why plantronics pro plus is on the list..
Also for the other ones, I don't see a dedicated mute button for them..I don't know how voice commands work? Do I have to say mute during the call so its mute the call? something like that or what? Like for example this product?

SmartWatch and a2dp

hi guys
i was looking for the smartwatch, but i have a question
i use a2dp on my car, with a bluetooth stereo, for music
it's a must have for me
now i use an iphone, but i will go with sgs3 as soon as it will be out (preordered)
my question is: if the phone uses the bt to be connected to the watch, will the a2dp still works? or the phone manages only one connetion at time?
thank you
PS: oh , the same question is good for the liveview
Hi,
I have the smartwatch with a HTC Desire and no problem at all to use my bluetooth headset with the watch at the same time.
Well, I never tried to get a call with the watch using the headset but is a smartwatch feature so I guess It will work.
Bye.
