Hello
I am a beginner both with the Kaiser and the A2DP . I have paired my Jabra 8010 BT correct and when I push the menu button I get the voice speed dial page with " no tag selected " so I assume my connection to the Kaiser is okay.
But when I want to use the stereo function for HTC Player or Windows mediaplayer the sound is not switching from the speaker to the headset .
Any idea what settings or steps I need to do to get the sound to the BT headset ?
There is as well no little Headset icon in the tool bar as set in page 176 of the manul .. (see I am reading first !)
Thanks for any help .

Did you pair the Jabra for A2DP? In the Kaiser's BT settings for the device, you should see two services, Hands Free & Wireless Stereo, and both boxes should be checked. If you see only one service, you'll have to re-pair the Jabra; if you see both, but Wireless Stereo isn't checked, check it.
hmm it looks more like a bug or a intended function.
I have both hands free and stereo profile.
When I delete the bluetooth pairing and re-pair it works like it should:
- Headset icon in menu bar
- when media player start the sound is automatic transfered to head set
but now ... when I switch out BT in the coms manager and switch it on again:
- no headset icon appears at all
- no transfer of sound from media player to head set
even the handbook says (page 176) run steps 1-3 of the paring again.
Does this means I need to re-pair mu stereo headset each time I want to have music transfered to the Heatset after switching off BT on the phone ???
That can not be true or ?

confirmed ... looks like before any usage of wireless stereo (after switch off/on BT) I need to go each time into the connection manager, bluetooth settings, left tab on Jabra, select set as stereo ... if this is done the headset Icon appears again in the menu.
I am the only one to whom this looks very complicated to just listen to your podcast ... ?
Why cant the BT profile hold the information that my headset is BT stereo ???

I seem to be having the same problem. Every time I turn on my Bluetooth, and every time I make a phone call, I have to un-check wireless stereo, save, then re-check it in order to listen to music via my Jabra BT8010.
I wish there was a fix for this.
Use A2DP toggle to re-connect from the today screen.

This may have been talked about before but my search didnt come up with anything so i thought i'd ask
i have a sony bluetooth headset and when i make and recieve calls it works fine
when i listen to music it comes out of the speaker on the phone
i guess this is a known 'problem' .. is there a setting somewhere i need to set
thanks in advance guys
To get standard audio thru the headset it has to support Wireless Stereo otherwise it will only work as a voice command/phone unit.
If you have a BT headset such as the Promate PM-2006 (which looks like a small pair of headphones with a mike) when paired to the phone it will show two profiles, 'Hands Free' and 'Wireless Stereo'
To set up audio thru this headset you go to 'Settings' 'Bluetooth' 'Devices', hold the stylus on the paired device you want to use and select 'Set as Wireless Stereo from the small drop down menu.
yeah i have both wireless stereo AND hands free selected .. thats what was confusing
Just to be sure...
You need to select both profiles when you first pair it.
But every time you want to listen to audio through it you need to go and select it for 'Wireless Stereo'. The phone then connects to the headset for that purpose.
Hope that's clear.
cheers .. i'll take a look at that ..
seems a bit crap tho eh??
Same on all windows devices, you have to tell them to play the audio through BT whereas a phone is listening for a headset.
True, a quick connect button would be much more help and I am sure if you search around you can find one.
ive got a paitr of motorola ht820's they just automatically pair up and sort out the myusic and calls when i turn bluetooth on however, they dont play nice when wifi is turned on
First time I have used a bluetooth headset with any device and here is my problem .
Paired the headset to the kaiser everything ok and getting great sound with music and calls , but the problem is if i turn the headset off and back on sound is re routed to the speaker until i go into the bluetooth settings and re select the " set as wireless stereo " option
is there a way to make this connection happen automatically once the headset is turned on ?
Hi;
Didn't find too many threads about the neatness of the Kaiser BT with certain devices. Though my main memory gets still eaten up like ther's no tomorrow I played a little bit today during lunch-time.
1.) External speaker/handsfree set:
I bought a blueant supertooth light since we have several phones in the family That's the most convenient way to have a mobile handsfree and no wires and literally NO installation.
Enable BT at the Kaiser, use BT-Audio (attached) and re-route device speaker output to the bluetooth handsfree speaker.
Voila, the TomTom Lady is talking to you load and clear. Eats up some battery but for that you have a car charger - NEAT!
Should work with popular motorola T305 and others as well.
2.) Car with AUX/iPod input:
Get an A2DP bluettooth kit (I have the i-tech clip R35) get a male/male 3.5 mm jack cable (preferable a little longer that you can use the mic), connect to the car. Not only that you can listen to the music stored on the kaiser through your car stereo ... call comes in, take call and listen through your speakersystem OR listen to regular radio or music, call comes in, press aux at your radio and ... talk.
NEAT - Thought I should share this!
doesn't seem to want to work for me. i get a " failed to enable BT audio" window when i try to use it
Could have a better user interface, I agree.
Do you use an external BT speaker/microphone or do you try to use AUX for your car stereo. If you use the car stereo NOTHING is required as long as you have an A2DP bluetooth set with external earphone jack.
With the car kit these are the steps that worked for me:
Enable BT in CommMgr?
Click BTAudioToggle
Click BTAudioOn
I put shortcuts in my menu one could even write a script or macro...
doesnt work for me
Post your config and what you did/do perhaps I can help
same thing as post #2,unzipped to SD, make shortcut,tried shortcut and direct file and both gave that error message
What speaker/headset do you have?
If it is a headset is it A2DP compatible?
jabra bt5020,dont think it's compatible
Hmmm
Bluetooth compliance: Bluetooth version 2.0 specifications
Supported Bluetooth profiles: Bluetooth headset and hands-free profiles
Try the following:
- Soft reset after you disabled bluetooth (to have a clear starting point)
- Enable bluetooth
- Check if it is connected
- Open settings
- Tap and HOLD on your headset
- Set as handsfree
- Set BTAudio ON (don't use the toggle)
- Open TomTom or whatever gives you some voice commands and check.
If it doesn't work ... well it doens't work with your headset ... sorry
If you REALLY want the function buy an itech or so for ~ 26 bucks
Whenever I turn my Cardo S-2 a2dp stereo bluetooth headphones on, the headset bluetooth profile kicks in, and calls immediately go to the headphones.
Can this be done with the bluetooth stereo headphones profile for listening to music as well? Currently, I have to click on BatteryStatus's bluetooth icon in the systray, click on a2dp, wait for the profile to kick in, and turn the volume from vibrate to full. It's a pain in the ass every time I want to listen to music.
Ideally, if it's not built into the OS, there should be a little systray app that would poll to see if any headphones are within range, then automatically enable a2dp and set the volume for you. When they disconnect, it would go back to your previous volume setting, not just 0 volume like it does now.
I don't know about the Cardo's but when I hook up my Motorola S9 my music is automatcally hooked up as well. When you sinked your Cardo with your phone through the Bluetooth conection settings did you set them up as handsfree and Stereo, or just Handsfree?

Yes, it was set up as stereo (as well as handsfree), but music does not automatically play in the headphones when they are turned on. I have to start a2dp and take it off vibrate in order to play music.
Same problem here. I solved it by installing A2DPToggle, and making a shortcut to turn the music on the headset in the system tray through Traylaunch
I also use A2DPToggle and use the plugin that stays on the Today screen to control when I use it.
But just like this thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=351697 ) you can find all sorts of different options.

I find the following app very good to quickly connect to multiple headsets/speakers
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sflab.bluetooth
ie. @ home i have a D200 creative speaker
instead of going into bluetooth settings.. just click the widget and its connected!
Cons: sometimes the widget does not respond.. but give it some time.
Updated Version of above:
One click - Connect 2 Specific Bluetooth device for A2DP and Phone app:
Bluetooth Pair
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gnssoftworks.bluetoothpair
found it very useful for swapping bluetooth headphones between devices WITHOUT turning off Bluetooth entirely or going into the settings menu.
Example Use Case:
I have one Stereo Bluetooth headset with mic (two profiles - phone and A2DP audio)
I have one Android Phone and one Android Tablet.
Phone Profile is always connected to the Android Phone, but the A2DP audio changes depending on which device you want to listen to music from.
Normally, if you want to listen to audio from the Tablet when your headset's A2DP profile is connected to the phone, you'd have to first go to the settings menu of the phone, and disconnect the A2DP, leaving Phone Profile connected. Then go to the settings menu on your tablet and connect the A2DP only.
Then you'd have to do the opposite if you want to listen to audio from the Phone again.
Takes a long time.
With Bluetooth Pair, you can specifically connect or disconnect to a specific device and specific profile (phone / a2dp) by widgets.
So you won't have to turn off the bluetooth completely on one device just to allow your headset to connect another device. Nor do you need to go into settings anymore.
1.) Just tap on the A2DP device specific widget on the phone to disconnect, the A2DP Profile from the phone
2.) go to the Tablet, and tap on the A2DP device specific widget to connect the A2DP profile of the headset to the Tablet
Two taps!
