Hi all, I have a Bluetooth Car Stereo (A2DP) and to connect it is rather laborious with WM6 as you have to get into the Settings>Connections>Bluetooth screen, right-click the device, and 'Set as Wireless Stereo' every time!
I have not found a way to create a shortcut icon that will directly load the Bluetooth page. Can anyone help show me how? I assume it is a rundll command but am not sure how to do it.
Visit http://www.teksoftco.com section Freeware and download A2DPToggle
works a treat , only thing i had to do was re pair my headset for it to work .
Great thanks!

I have posted This thread to assist anyone like me, who is not a programming whiz. Got to Install this mainly through trial and error and I am not an expert in this. So If anyone can make my steps easier please do!
This is a Variation Installation For a thread a while back in October 2005 Author Ncruz and effjay. Ncruz Posted a wm5 cab. This cab does not install directly due to permissions. However I have extracted the files using windows cab manager.
First are the files are required in windows. If it asks about permissions copy to PDA root folder then copy with Resco File Explorer and overwrite. Next are the registry files. You can import them with a registry program such as tre or regedit.
If you want Microsoft Voice commands to be the default program overwrite SSDialer.exe in windows folder with Voicecmd.exe from Program files/Voice command/ otherwise Cyberon Voice is initiated when you press headset.
I will post the cab in its entirity although it will not install, incase someone knows an easier method to get voice commands working Please contibute to this thread. However this method worked for me. Below in the zip are the files Extracted with Win Cab manager in zip format so you can copy zip to your pda then extract them to the correct folders, along with the registry files you need to import to registry.
N.B..sound of Voice commands is through PDA and not headset. Pressing headset connect button opens Cyberon or active voice command depending on what you have
Can not seem to be able to import the reg files....
OKay, got the files to import and the files copied - no go for me. Darn-it.
Installation
did you do a soft reset with the software built with the rom and repair the bluetooth headset
I might have reset without using the software reset....
However, got it working with this cab file that I found on my storage card. I even got MS Voice Command to work when I hit my BT Headset button.
Heck, it did not even change the record button to SSDialer! I would have thought it would but it did not. So, I am happy!
glad its working for you
now how can i do?
download odie3 's cab file and install? that's right?
Then, when device auto turn off, bt still go off as before?

The only way I know how to keep BT on is by plugging in my Device to a power source and doing a soft-reset. As long as I do not turn it off with the power button or have it set to auto-power off while plug in, BT will stay on. I do this everytime I get into my car - since it takes me a hour [sometimes more] to get home, so my BT Headset always works.
Hopefully I explained that correctly for you to understand....
Odie
Your query confirmed. The Wlan manager icon from the today screen goes as a side effect of installing the cab. Wifi still works but the Icon in today is not there. Not a big deal for me, as I have skinned my Pda with Wisbar, which has a wifi icon.

Yes it happened to me as well, but i prefer BT Voice Command Activation than WLAN icon
Thanks for the info
BT activation doesn't work for me...
For some reason the activation through BT headset doesn not work for me.
I'm using WM5 TuMa 1.3 ROM.
The BA_WM5_Voice_Dialer_2.cab doesn't install on my device (permission violation), so I copied the files manually to the Windows folder.
The reg files also don't import to my registry when double-clicking, so I made the changes manually.
It still doesn't work.
Now, when I hit the button of my BT headset (Moto HS-810), the standard dialer is activated (instead of the voice command app) and I hear hissing sounds in the headset.
I tried it both with Cyberon and MS apps. Both don't work.
Did anyone encounter this problem? Anyone solved it?
Thanks.
anyone knpow how to do this with voice command on 2003se?
Just upgraded to TuMa 1.3 and have found a MUCH more simple way of doing it.
1) Install Microsoft Voice Command
2) Download Total Commander (http://www.ghisler.com/ce.htm)
3) Using Total Commander change the read only tickbox for \windows\sddialer.exe so that there is no tick (1 press just greys it out, i needed to press twice) <- browse to \windows in TC and right cick (hold down) on sddialer.exe, and click properties.
4) (you don't need TC for this) Copy %install dir%\voicecmd.exe (where %install dir% is the directory you installed voice command to) to a temporary location and rename it to sddialer.exe.
5) (using TC) 'Right click' on your new sddialer.exe (previoult voicecmd.exe) and select 'cut to clipboard' then navigate to \windows\ and 'right click' and select 'paste from clipboard', when propted overwrite the origional file.
6) press the button on your headset and test it!
the only thing we need now is for some clever person to work out how to route the voicecmd audio through to the headset instead of the load speaker (to my knowledge it uses the microphone on the headset allready (at least it works when i speak quietly from the next room )
it works like a charm
cheers
Do what Midlet says?
If I do what Midlet says- will I still need the 2 files that mohdwadea has posted? Is Midlet's process a complete stand-alone process... or is if preceded by more steps?

Have not investigated midlets way of installing as Mine is working. However i suggest that if you check your registry and see if the reg keys i posted within the zip are there. If his way works fine, if it does not i suggest you import the keys into registry and see if that helps. I also strongly suggest you make a note of the keys and where they are imported too, as if it does not work you can remove them.
It worked
Mohdwadea,
Your method worked! This time I performed a soft-reset after the installation and also re-connected the headset. I did not have to go he registry-entry route because the cab-file installed on my device.
This will help me a lot on the road in business. God bless you.
Just glad its working for you!
voice not sending
MOHDWADEA,
I am using this fix a lot on the road. It works very well... expect for in one situation! I can initiate voice dialing by the record button on my device and it accepts voice dialing commands through the bluetooth headset and teh call goes fine.
However, if I initiate the voice dialing using the button on my blueooth headset (Cardo Scala 500), it initiates the voice dial app just fine, accepts commands and conencts the call.... but the other party cannot get my outgoing voice through my bluetooth headset, rather it gets the voice from the mic on my phone. Also, the incoming sound can be heard in my bletooth headset but ALSO on the phone.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Just sorted BT voice dialing on my TRINITY witha Jabra BT250 all working fine
using the infor here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=281977
I've also mastered using BTAudioOn.exe in the registry in place of the voice dialer to give me Audio Streaming
Only problem is, as the article in the forun suggest it disables the voice commands!! I can live with this as I only want to stean the TOMTOM voice when using the satnav while walking or on my bike.
What I had in mind was a a couple of icons, one to make the registry changes for the BT Audio streaming and the other icon to toggle back (ie change the registry back to voice comand via the BT headset). As far as I can see (once BTaudioOn.exe is copied to my Trinity) the only difference between turning my Jabra BT250v into an audio streaming headset and a phone headset are the two registry changes; and then change them back to give me a Phone headset again.
Can anyone tell me if this is possible to use a .REG file?
Can it be written on a PC and then copied to the Trinity so that it runs?
Will reg files run the same on a PDA and they do on a PC?
Thanks in advance
Try to use SKSchema software, it can put any values in registry depends of any window or process runing on the device. It watch & if you made a rule to put in registry key voicecommand with launcheAppEnable zero as window of TomTom appears u can get a continiusly sound in handsfree if also it put long value in Duration option.
Where do I fond the software please
Also... could you please explain a little better a I don't understand what you have written...sorry!

Guys
I am having real problems getting my GPS to talk to my XDA11i . the two devices appear to talk to each other ( flash furiously) but tom tom doesnt recognise it.
Bluetooth manager confirms there is an active connection.
I believe that the BT profile is not set up correctly.
I can go to BT settings and make a new profile , selecting serial transfer etc and then give the profile a name , BUT , each time I select the profile whilst the access permissions are still as set , when I open the services tab no services are selected ! despite selecting it when the profile was set up ?
Any thoughts here ?
Astro1
Go to BT parameter -> services -> serial port -> options
Write down IN/OUT port number, report the OUT port number to you GPS software.
If pb still exists, try to use "Franson GpsGate" or NMEA as connection within gps software.
Tried that !
Hi NewbiePDA
Been there and tried that , the outgoing port is port 6 and in tom tom 's configuration choices the choice of port 6 is the only oje that seems to get any where ( activity from the LED on the GPS unit ) all other port choices given turn off the GPS.
Ive got a copy of franson gpsgate but got nowhere with it ,
It has to be a simple configuration problem !
I have set up a spp profile in BT settings ( and called it tom tom ) I have ticked the serial connection and then Enable service box then closed down ( hit ok). Upon re opening the profile serial port choice is no longer chosen ? any ideas ?
Best Regards
Astro1
Hi Astro1,
I think that creating spp profile is unnecessary, my procedure is as below:
1) Pair you devices
BT -> BT manager -> tools -> pair device -> add
browse you BT devices then you should see you gps icon appear, click on it, then type you password to pair, usually is 0000
2) back to BT manager, choose "new", choose discover a BT device, again, you should see you gps device, click on it, normally you get spp service, just follow the step by clicking "next"...
If you can't see any services available then turn off you BT gps device, turn off you Xda2i BT, soft reset, then turn on gps, back to step 2)
3) If pb remains, probably it's due to tomtom's bt stack, try rename BtCoreIf.dll BtSdkCE30.dll (in \windows folder) to others name, or delete them.
Hope that helps.
re name or delete
Hi Newbe
I am trying to delete or rename the two files you note , I have seen this on other sites as well .
Like you XDA11i says that the files are in use and read only / archive /hidden or in use etc.
It will not let me touch them !
Any ideas of a file manager or software that will let me work on them ??

download and install gpsdash2 and in the connection settings click on auto config, it will find you gps receaver ad set itself up, this will also give you the correct bt settings, it will show you if everything is working okay. and some cool features.
i had to do this with my jentro bt unit
Hi Skeevee
Ive tried that one too .
GPS gate checks trhe ports and the blue led on the Bluetooth GPS unit flashes furiously ( as if they are talking ) , but GPS gate reports unable to find GPS ???
This is loosing me , it seems to me that the two devices are talking but that there is a comms / set up problem .
TT6 tries to talk to the GPS as well but gets no where ?

Okay so I've gotten pretty spoiled now with the voice command on our phones. The one thing I REALLY wish I could do was turn the bluetooth on and off without having to go through all the work to get to the communications manager..(settings tab,then com manager, then bluetooth on or off... then closing it all down)
Is there something out there that is a direct short cut? I little .exe that will either turn bluetooth on if it was run or off if its run again? If not anyone with some skills want to make this happen? That would allow a quick shortcut in our applications tab AND for those of us who use voice command a quick way to turn bluetooth on and off. All we'd have to say is "Start bluetooth" or something. Best I've been able to do is say "Start bluetooth explorer" and it opens the bluetooth explorer...which yes works but I dont want that damn thing to open up AND I cant turn it off that way either.
If there is something out there similar to this I cant find it so maybe post it in this thread.
Thanks everyone!
BTonoff.exe
This is a little .exe that I found here on xda, so don't give me any credit. I looked and cannot for the life of me remember where I found this, so if whoever created sees this, I apologize for not giving credit.
Just put this unzipped .exe in the windows/start menu/programs folder and it will list as a program. You can then link the PTT button if you have a fuze, or to another quick launch program if that is what you are looking to do. I have mine set as an icon on the program launcher, and just click once and turns on BT, click again and turns it off.
If this is what you are looking for you can change from AP Request to AP Found.
This is a link to a cab file that I use called BT Toggle. The CAB file has "EkerB" in the name so I am guessing that is who the credit needs to go to. However I have been unable to find the original link back to the application announcement.

Installs like any other cab file and has worked flawlessly for me. I have my left softkey set to run it.
Here you go. I think,this exefile is made by BuzzLightyear(thank you). You need to write a pareter to commandline(or shortcut) "bsd" to toggle discoverable/off mode. It can also do some different modes using different parameters(which I don't know now).
You can also use this little app and set it to one of your soft keys. I have it seft to my left soft key and it works flawless.

Seeing as how nobody could help me with the below, how do I capture what process is started/ran when I click on my desired button. Perhaps I can make a custom macro/program that will do what I desire.
-----------------------------------------------
My phone is having issues syncing with my car radio. It only works if I disable and re-enable the gps every time I get in the car. Very annoying.
I discovered that if I just leave BT on, then goto my BT settings(menu->settings->Wireless&Networks->Bluetooth settings->long press my device->options-connect) and connect to my desired device that way it connect much quicker.
This solution is livable, just trying to figure out how to create shortcut icon on desktop of those actions.
Any idea?
Ok, lets try changing the query to see if I can get some help on this.
Use AnyCut from the Market to make direct shortcut.
