Hi
My Bluetooth headset (Plantronics) has basically two functions: Headset (with micophone) and just headphone (music etc.)
When I'm using it with my HTC, thus activating Bluetooth, I always have to do the pairing (Start->preferences->connections->BT) and select the headset option 'use as headphone' (or 'use as headset').
Is there no simple way to automatically use it as a default device and skip the selection process?
Thanks for any advice

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.
Hello,
I use my Kaiser to play music through my car stereo's bluetooth adapter (Pioner Avic D3). My 'problem' is that the phone automatically connects to the stereo for hands free telephone operation, but I have to go to Bluetooth settings and set the stereo to 'Set as Wireless Stereo' every time I want to play music or use voice recognition through the bluetooth.
So, does anyone know of an easier way to either force automatic stereo bluetooth (A2DP/AVRCP) connect. If not, how could I make a *.lnk that I could place on the start menu to run a macro that would do this for me? Any other ideas are welcome too!
Thanks
Look into Writing a MortScript that will do this.
Side Note: Officially This doesn't belong in ROM Dev. Moving to General. Thanks!
Search for A2DPSwitch. Little program that will toggle wireless stereo on/off when run. I mapped it to a hardware key (long press windows key) so that I can easily activate my headset.
Start menu is no good as you have to reconnect manually everytime the connection is lost anyway (when you get out of your car with the phone for example).
Ok...wondering if you guys can help...
Phone: XDA Ignito
Car stereo: Sony MEX-BT4700U
(http://www.sony.co.uk/product/ica-bluetooth-car-stereo/mex-bt4700u)
The first time I first linked the two, both the phone and stereo automatically recognised that they could both use 'Handsfree' and 'A2DP' profiles, signified by two sperate symbols on stereo, and the two different BT profile symbols on the Ignito. Both worked perfectly, music streaming and handsfree.
However, the next time I returned to the car...only the 'Handsfree' profile connected automatically.
In the bluetooth settings on the Ignito it knows it can connect both ways, if I uncheck handsfree profile, and leave A2DP checked, it connected prefectly fine by A2DP. (and vice versa).
So my question is...why the hell won't it connect using BOTH profiles automatically, like it did at first connection? Am I going to have to mess around in the bluetooth profile settings every time I want to switch from handsfree to A2DP?!?!?
Thanks guys,
Dave
Noone?
Now it seems to only connect via 'handfree' profile, even when i've unchecked handsfree profile in the bluetooth device settings and ticked the 'stereo' profile.
Hello,
I'm totally new in this area (android). I have a Galaxy s for a week now, and I am generally very impressed by the phone. There are two strange (or even stupid?) things about the phone:
1. I used to have a Nokia 6500 (it is not even symbian 60, it's 40). There is a menu called "enhacement" where you can adjust what calling profile will be activated when a headset, handsfree etc is connected. For example, when I connected the (nokia) phone to the bluetooth car handsfree the phone would recognize that a activate the "car" profile which I had created. The car profile in my case had a specific (quiet) ringtone (that was transmitted to the car's speaker) and had the phone vibration disabled.
Questions: Is there a way to create calling profiles AND that the phone activates a specific profile when connected to the car's bluetooth handsfree?
Is there a way to transmit the phone's ringtone to the car's speakers??
2. The second strange issue is that if I set an alarm and switch the phone off, the alarm will not be activated at alll!! The alarm only works as long as the phone is activated!!!
Thanx in advance
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!
