I'm looking for some software to configure different profiles.
Situation:
I have a car with a charger and a BT radio system.
I want to disable BT when i'm using the phone roaming, 'normal' profile, but when I go into my car and put it in the charger, it switches to the 'car' profile and swichtes on BT automaticly.
I've seen this with old Nokia's. If you pressed the standby button once you got the option between 'silent', 'normal' and 'vibrate' or something.
Is there something like this ?
Hi viper,
Spb Phone Suite will do this for you.
Actually - with automatic profiles, it has the ability to change as soon as you connect the car kit
Check it out - it is available fully-featured with a trial.
SPB phone suite should work for you but I'm partial to SBSH phoneweaver. Phone suite has call filtering, phone weaver has more options from a profile perspective imo.

I used to use pocket bluetooth tools on my xda2 and found it excellent, especially the ability to turn bluetooth on when receiving a call and off after completion.
Does anyone use this on there alpine / xda 2i and if so does it function correctly?
If not can anybody recommend something that'll turn bluetooth on / off automatically on an incoming call.
Thanks
If memory serves bluetooth tools was for MS stack and does not work on the Alpine, at least it wouldn't on mine. Phonealarm from: http://www.pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.htm purports to control bt through its profiles manager.
Haven't tried that capability yet as my devices' bt requires password on each activation, software fault which I'm about to rectify with the first hard reset of the year (thanks Pug - I'll stick with your radio!)
DKOT today plugin and PocketZenPhone have the feature "bluetooth on call". They dont work on my device but yours, you can try if you want.
I have the Pioneer DEH-P9800BT Bluetooth Head Unit in my car, which supports stereo BT music streaming from any A2DP device.
I also have the HTC TyTN II Mobile which supports the same.
I have paired the two devices, and on the initial pairing successfully played music from the HTC through the Pioneer. When that worked, the BT Audio icon appears in the title bar of the mobile (headphones with a musical note in the middle).
However, after switching off the car and later returning, I have 2 issues:
1) It is impossible to reconnect the BT stereo music playback, unless I delete the Pioneer device from the list of BT devices within the mobile phone, then pair them again. Nothing else seems to work. Simply, I just want all music to be routed through the Pioneer whenever it is in range of the mobile.
2) I have set the mobile phone as "Phone 1" in the Pioneer, and have enabled "Auto Connect", yet it does not auto connect. Every time I get in the car I have to manually scroll to Telephone>Function>Connect Phone>Phone 1. You can imagine what a laborious pain that is compared to my previous 5 year old Nokia Bluetooth Car Kit which just auto-connects whenever my mobile is in range.
Are you able to solve either problem?
Anyone ?
I have a similar issue with a Bluetooth clip (allows my Shure headphone to be used over bluetooth)
I have to go Start/Settings/Connections/Bluetooth, click onthe headset and "Set as Wireless Stereo", whereas my car bluetooth headset will auto-detect and re-connect.
Is this poor hardware or is the A2DP protocol not defined for re-connection standards, so different appliances act differently?
I found A2DP Toggle via Google. Just download that for free and it'll solve the issue!

I've been using A2DP Toggle myself for some time and must say that it is an awesome little utility. One word of caution, however, is that people (myself included) have been finding that the today screen plug-in has a tendency to really drain the battery fast! You can read a bit more on this issue at http://www.teksoftco.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1626&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
To get around the battery drain problem I've removed the plug-in from my today screen and simply generated program shortcuts on my today screen (using Pocket Plus or UltimateLauncher) to execute the utility in command line mode. So you get the benefit of toggling A2DP on/off with a single screen tap without the downside of battery drain from the today screen plug-in.
To turn A2DP ON create a shortcut that runs:
"Program Files\Teksoft\A2DPToggle\a2dp.exe -a2dp: on"
To turn A2DP OFF create a shortcut that runs:
"Program Files\Teksoft\A2DPToggle\a2dp.exe -a2dp: off"
Hi All,
I've done a quick search and cant find anything relating to this. It may seem like an odd request but i like things to be automated
I have a broadit active cradle in my car for charging the kaiser, and a parrot car kit. Ideally what i am trying to achieve is when i dock the phone in the active cradle, an automatic profile kicks in and turns bluetooth on for the while its in the cradle only, and then turns it off once its undocked/disconnected from the car.
At the moment, i cannot get it to pick up when its in the cradle. SPB automatic profile does not change. If i put bluetooth on manually, it will switch over to Car. When i turn the car off, the parrot deactivates and the phone switches back to normal and turns bluetooth off.
Does anyone know of any other automatic profile apps which detect when the phone is on charge only (i.e. no data), or if it is possible in SPB at all?
Thanks
DC
PhoneAlarm is quite good for this I think. I currently have it, and it toggles profiles based on time and appointment categories really well. How I use it:
07:00 switches to 'work' profile vibrate only, bluetooth off
07:30 switches to 'bus' profile, similar to work, but activates WiFi (and internet explorer, you can chose 1 program to be activated per profile if you wish) since the bus I commute on has free Wifi on board)
8:40 back to 'work', auto deactivates WiFi
17:15 back to 'bus'
18:20 back to 'work' as I get a local bus at this time without Wifi
19:00 'Home' profile, all sounds on, and bluetooth
23:00 'night' profile, as per home, but the back light dims
and start again the next morning.
On weekends, it auto switches between day (07:00) and night (23:00)
If I have an appointment scheduled under the meeting category, it sets itself as per the 'work' profile, switches off the phone, auto activates Word. At the appointment end time, it goes back to whatever profile it was in before hand.
There are also settings to auto switch profiles based on activesync, external power (but no activesync), headset connection, appointment category, and geographical location (based on the cellsite ID that your connected to, both entering and leaving). Apart from the appointment category switch, I haven't tried these, but if they work aswell as the time and appointment options, it sounds like the power no activesync option could be exactly what your after? And I bet you will spend hours playing with all the different options to totally tailor profiles to every minute of your day!
Fantastic! That worked really well. The app seems to take 15 seconds to pick up that its on power without activesync, but it works really well!! Excellent app.
There are so many options too!!! That appeals to me
The fact that it actually does the profile switching makes it a killer for me. Several others I tried seemed to forget to do things.
The options, yeah, there seems to be thousands. I'm not even sure what half of them do! I think this is the profile tool to end all profile tools. Oh, and you can navigate the today plugin with your d-pad. Just click on the bluetooth, Wifi, data connection icons to toggle on/off. If the you like options, I think I was correct that you'll be playing with it for hours! Almost a shame your limited to about 7 profiles really...
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.

Hello.
Is there a possibility to alter pebble settings from the phone (Android) ?
In fact I like to switch bluetooth off on the Pebble when I'm in my car because it keeps disconnecting my audio.
Of course I know I have to switch bluetooth back on manually to establish a new connection with my phone
Maybe with tasker or some other software ?
Greetings.
