Is it possible to use all 3 devices together? Can I keep both the Lg Style I and the vibrating bracelet connected to the x7501 at the same time? Any feedback is appreciated.
There was some mention of this topic in eaglesteve's "Bluetooth Vibrating Bracelet". I didn't find a concrete answer and was wondering if anyone had actually tried the combination. I am currently trying to buy an x7501 on ebay, we know how frustrating that can be. If i can't find an answer by the time my advantage arrives, I may just buy the bracelet and find out for myself.
Why couldn't they have made the Style I vibrate and saved us all the trouble?
hi,
a friend has a stylei and a athena, and has buyed a bvb and says the bvb is not usable in conjunction with a handsfree.
the bvb connect with the athena using the hadsfree profile, and the stylei also.
the atnea, and the phones in general, dont support 2 items connecting using this profile at the same time....

That's too bad. Perhaps a non-headset, vibrating solution will come around eventually. Lg Style I was almost "the solution", almost.
i have a stylei and a sony ericsson mbw150 watch.
this work fine

I have now a Ameo (x7500 - WM6, TMO), the iStyle (HBM-700) and the bracelet (LM-959).
over Bluetooth connection the bracelet will connect as a headset, and the iStyle want also connect as a headset.
If I connect the bracelet (klick headset on in BT-menue) without the iStyle, the bracelet will work fine. But I can't connect the iStyle (is searching for a device).
If I connect iStyle, the bracelet will not work.
I will make further a couple of test's, with different options... will come back later

Let us know if you work something out. I'm doubtful though.
So- I will finish the test's
result:
LG iStyle and Athena will work perfect, if both are connected over Bluetooth
Bracelet and Athena will work perfect, if both are connected over Bluetooth
all three together didn't work.
LG <-> Athena; no activation about Bracelet (no vibration, etc pp)
Bracelet <-> Athena ; LG iStyle show's "no device found"
Reason ? :
both (Bracelet and LG iStyle) connected on Athena over profil "headset". It seems Athena could work only with one headset
maybe Solution ?:
expand (over Registry?) Athena the haedset connections to 2 connections
could anybody help us?
Anyone ever taken the style i apart? I took out the 2 screws, hidden under little covers, and something was still holding in the middle (around the end and send buttons). I thought of taking it apart and ttrying to find a very small vibrating motor. The smallest i've found was 3mm by 11mm. I don'tt know if the battery could support it though. I think there are still some style i's on ebay for 15 dollars, so it might be worth trying. I doubt its very feasible though. Anyone hav comments or suggestions?

I know this is for only XDA devices, & I tried searching but I didnt see anything except for 1 post. http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=11128&highlight=nokia+car+kit
But I thought I might try you guys here.
I have posted on other HP related sites as well for the same problem.
This site was so usefull when I had my Siemens SX56.
The only thing I wanted to know is if anyone knows if there is any add on driver I can add to it to make the hp6315 bond with my nokia bluetooth carkit model # CARK112.
I cant seem to get it to bond?
I did get my Jabra BT200 to bond and work correctly.
This is what nokia says about it?
*Compatible phones must support the Bluetooth 1.1 specification and Handsfree profile.
As far as I know the hp 6315 doesn't support handsfree only headset?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
...have you tried the "explore a BT device" in the BT connection wizard, not the "handsfree/headset" set-up? I paired it together once & it worked fine...I do beleive this "widcomm stack of BT" supports handsfree...
BTW, after I added another headset (my SE HBH-65) it didn't connect again, but BT is funny/finicky doing multi-device connxns...
Nokia Carkit with HP6315??????
Thanks , I will try that I will let you know.
...another tip...even better tyhan the last one that I don't think is necessary if you use this one : when pairing h-set/handsfree device about half way thru the wizard hit the tools button (I think?) & it default-checks, "show only handsfree devices", uncheck that & you should now see the carkit show-up! This of course makes no sense since the carkit is a handsfree device but it seems to work so go with it...
thanks that did the trick!!!!!!
I just yest spent some extended time with CarKit (it in my wife's car) & it wasn't very reliable. After turning the car off & then back on it would not re-establish a pairing. After resetting both iPaq & carkit (turning off & on again, I'd go thru the wizard again & it would re-establish but would duplicate the carkit on the iPaq...
Has your kit been more reliable? (I have the nokia Cark112)
nokia car kit with ipaq
No. mine has been doing the same thing.
...ya, my work around has been to delete the previous carkit pairing & re-establish itself - a new one - obviously not great but workable if you need it...btw, every Nokia phone (even the newest ones) work fine with this kit...so who knows - I may get the Nokia 9500...
The one thing I truly hate about my T-Mo MDA after 6 months is the difficulty using BlueTooth. I had an HP6315 (also T-Mo) which, despite all its other problems (like crashing everyday) had a far more sensible BlueTooth tool.
I don't have an issue with changing the stack--once I'm connected to a device I'm pretty much good, but the connection process is a serious pain in the patoot.
Before the impatient pros tell me "why don't you do a search before you post?" let me say that I have, and nobody I've found addresses this.
It's a really simple thing: every other device I own or have owned that uses B/T peripherals has a "Connect" choice. It doesn't matter if it was my 6315 Ipaq, my laptop computers, a Motorola cell phone or Samsung D-820/T-809 cell phones. All have the ability to force the connection. But the MDA doesn't, as far as I can tell. It either connects automatically, or you (frequently) have to delete the device and initiate a new search for it.
Am I missing something? Is this just the way the MDA is? Is there a piece of software or a registry hack that allows you to force it to connect?
I'm also curious as to why a regular telephone headset won't play back from Windows Media or BetaPlayer. It would very nicely on the 6315 Ipaq and still functioned as a phone. Any ideas? And, the reason I like to do that is I have a long commute and like to listen to Pimsleur language CDs (ripped to MP3) in the car. They work through the wired headset, but I can't stand wired headsets. I can imagine books on CD would also be enjoyable that way.
Thanks!

You can do this. Get BTAudio.
Its not tmobile it the windows bluetooth stack. i have no problems but most people like the widcomm stack because its simple and easy. you should also try a bluetooth stereo headset its good thing to buy if you dont like wired headsets but advise to buy when having extra cash or look for a low price. prices are going down for some reason where i live
I DO have B/T stereo headphones, a pair of Jensens and a pair of IO gear. The latter list for around $150 or more, but a friend bought 2 pair (accidentally) off the 'net for about $35/per. That's what I gave him. The Jensens cost a little more but not much. Both make the HPs look like junk and are far more comfortable.
The problem is in my state it is VERY illegal to wear headphones while you drive. You can wear them on one ear, but not both.
Next, if you use them (not while driving) you are forced to use them as either stereo OR as a mono telephone headset--check the B/T settings.
It never fails to amaze me how if M/S has 5 or 10 choices, they will ALWAYS choose the most difficult to use (and idiosyncratic), the least useful, and the least reliable.

Hey guys, i need some help to figure this one out
I have many BT headsets:
- Moto HT820 (the best)
- Jabra BT8010 (perfect for when you need to look more professional single sided, or both sides when no longer dealing with clients )
- Sony HBH-DS970
They all work great on my Palm Treo (Zero problem), however on the X7510 they all seems to be stuck in the AD2P mode, so when i try to make a phone call, or pick up an incoming call, it doesn't load the headset profile.
If i go into the BT stack, after pairing for all of them, they have both of the Check Boxes selected:
- Stereo
- Headset
It is very annoying having to stop the music manually, and remove the headset to answer the phone in speaker mode.
specially when you are on a bike, and both hands are busy, staying alive in the crazy traffic zipping in and out, trying to avoid being hit by a truck or something, LOL
well since no one cared to help, i just wanted to let anyone know the problem has been fixed already.
How did you fixed it ?
You know, sometimes nobody knows the answer! Some folks might even thank you for telling them what the solution turned out to be. I have a pair of Motorola HT 820's that I normally only use with my desktop but it would be nice to know how to properly pair them for dual use on my X7501 which has only worked that way sporadically.
Thanking you in advance,
Brad Miter
Hey Guys!
Is there a way to tell WM6 to automatically route Audio through A2DP as soon as a paired device supporting the profile is connected?
Clarification:
When using a Hands-Free-Headsetfor telephony you can pair it once, then turn it off, after that it is automatically connected to the phone as soon as you turn it on again.
In contrast to that a Bluetooth Stereo headset is not automatically connected, you have to manually activate it in Bluetooth Settings first before you can listen to music through it.
Especially with my car stereo used as "A2DP Headset" (which loses power every time the ignition is turned off) this can get highly annoying.
Is there a way to tell Windows to automatically "use" A2DP-Peripherals when available?
Try A2DP Toggle: http://www.teksoftco.com/index.php?section=freeware
The Today-plugin migt reconnect automatically, but it has a memory-leak...
To easily manually reconnect, you can create a shortcut to the exe:
\Program Files\Teksoft\A2DPToggle\A2DP.exe
Then you can put that program on your today screen easily.
And if you want a nice icon with that shortcut, you can change the shortcut file to:
53#"\Program Files\Teksoft\A2DPToggle\A2DP.exe" "-a2dp:1"?\Program Files\Teksoft\A2DPToggle\settings.exe,-0

Yep. The WM bluetooth stack sucks. It works better with some stereos though. I tried it out in the store with I believe a Pioneer (with bluetooth 2.0) and it was perfect. Turned it on and a2dp connects. Switch to another input and a2dp disconnects. Switch back to bluetooth audio and it connects. It was flawless. I ended up ordering the kenwood built in bluetooth unit (bluetooth v1.2) and it is terrible. I must manually toggle the bluetooth connection (I use a program that I wrote to do so, kinda similar to the above the above poster posted). Also, sometimes after a call comes in it wont reconnect. Sometimes i must power off then on the headunit a few times. Wasnt this thing supposed to make things easier?! A real shame because I love everyting else about the kenwood head unit. It works better with some ROMs on my phone (this is with a tilt; xperia on the way ).
Yeah, A2DP Toggle works for me as well, It's just dumb that this phone cant just do that itself. My old W880i could! I'm using a Sony DR-BT21G headset

A story to learn before you you buy the head-unit I spent almost an hour at Fry's to try many units w/ my Tilt as well (Sony, Pioneer, Kenwood, JVC ...etc) and ordered online w/ the JVC unit. Excellent sound (compare to other model) but disconnect after phone call issue exist. I believe it's HTC fault since my Eten M600 (MS BT stack) and Asus P525 (Widcomm) doesn't have this issue (but others....). But I got to admitted HTC one do have the best sound quality.
BTW, my JVC BT-1 will auto connect my X1/Tilt when I start my car and I think it serve my purpose.

I have created an application wich runs the commandline setting automaticly, so you never have to do anything again it connects automaticly. You can find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502549
Hi everyone,
I have read through many threads about Bluetooth headset preferences. So I thought maybe it might be interesting to find out what is the most popular bluetooth headset for the Athena x7500 / Dopod u1000.
How many are preferring "LG Style - I?"
How many are preferring "Jabra BT8010?"
How many are preferring "Itech clip?"
Others?
I don't have an athena but a TP and I LOVE my Jabra BT8010
AstainHellbring,
Thanks for your feedback. I think even though you don't have the athena x7500, your feedback will also be helpful as it will give some idea about the jabra bt8010 among pocket pc owners.
I bought the u1000 mainly for the purpose of using the pocket pc features just like the way i used my Dell Axim x51v. For my mobile phone needs I am using a separate sony ericsson k800i, a phone with excellent camera even until now.
And after about a year i am still very happy to use my u1000 for just its pocket pc features. It is very easy to input text using keyboard software like tengo or intellipad compared to my axim because of the large screen.
But because the dopod u1000 also has an inbuilt phone feature, from time to time I try to explore ways to see if there is any possibilities of using it not just for 3g/wifi internet browsing but also for phone communication. Then maybe i can let go of my sony ericsson k800i and use the u1000 as an all - in - one device. I will have to say that i might miss the k800 camera feature which i love so much.
Like many, i find that bluetooth headset might be the key but unfortunately the bluetooth headset is useful more for receiving calls. There is still a struggle to find a bluetooth that can offer reasonably good calling out solutions.
For this i can understand why the Jabra 8010 and the LG style-I appeals to most Athena x7500/u1000 owners.
The Jabra 8010 has a contact list feature and can hold about 20 phone numbers (good enough).
The LG Style - I has the feature that allows the user to dial phone numbers from the bluetooth set itself.
Most of the Other bluetooths can only call back the last number registered.
So it is interesting to know what solutions users of our lovely big pocket pc finally prefer since we have already been using it for quite sometime now.
Also microsoft voice command can allow you to ignore any contact list in the headset and just speak to your phone telling to to call whom ever or dial and tell it numbers or even launch applications with it
I am very tempted to buy the jabra bt8010 or Style-I. Right now the (not popular brand) bluetooth I am using cannot launch the microsoft voice command or the cyberon voice commander by pressing the multi function button (MFB) on the set. I read that many jabra users can do this easily and also because of the quality of microphone, it is easier for the software to understand what you are saying to it.
