BT Headset Icon on the Iconbar

Hi All,
I have lost a few cool points here for admitting this but I was actually reading my Tilt manual. I found there is supposed to be a BT Headset icon in the icon bar when a headset is active. Has anyone seen this? My headset is working great and so is my wife's on her Tilt but neither of us have seen this icon. The only time a headset icon appears on our phones is with the headset on of course in phone mode .....
hopefully there is a registry key that we can tweak?

I think the manual is wrong. I've been using PPC Phones since they came out and teh OS has always but the BT headset icon on the phone dialer, near the caller display picture. Now, WIndows Mobile Standard (non-touch screen devices) displays the icon on the top bar.

A2DP Blueooth Car Stereo won't reconnect to mobile

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"

Error: Problem with bluetooth hardware

I'm trying to connect my phone (ATT HTC Tilt) with a stereo bluetooth headset or trying to send files and everytime I scan for new devices it gives me an error stating "PROBLEM WITH BLUETOOTH HARDWARE"
Additionally, the "Turn on Bluetooth" option always turns off automatically....
What is going on? Can anyone help?

Please...
Anyone who experienced this or can give me a hand? Thanks!!

I had this same problem all of a a sudden on my Kaiser. But after doing a hard reset this got resolved.
And now i just flashed Dutty's 6.1 ROM. Its amazing update..
Cheers

Thanks Arun...
Tried the hard reset NO LUCK! Problem persists, and bluetooth keeps turning off. I go back to the wireless manager and check both boxes and they come back off in 30 seconds!!
When searching for devices it says (ERROR: PROBLEM WITH BLUETOOTH HARDWARE)
Not able to beam or receive files at all.
Any help? Thanks so much!!

Same Problem
Running into same problem here. I haven't even updated the ROM from stock yet, although I have done the JumpSPL step (cuz I received the white screen). My Radio is 1.27.14.09.
Any help is appreciated.

I would think that if you have done a hard reset and you don't install anything and you still have a problem then you **** is borked. time to do a warranty exchange.
has your bluetooth ever worked, with the rom that is currently on your phone?

Problem with Bluetooth Hardware!!!!
I am having the same problem. I have the stock AT&T ROM. Here is exactly what is happening:
The bluetooth is not working on my Tilt at all. It has lost connections with devices that it was already paired with (a Motorola Q Global and a headset). All attemps to pair the devices again lead to the following: "Error: Problem with Bluetooth Hardware".
When I go to Bluetooth Settings through the Comm Manager, then Mode and check "Turn on Bluetooth" and "Make this device visible to other devices", it unchecks as soon as I exit the settings menu. The Comm Manager constantly shows the bluetooth being off and when I tap the icon, the phone "thinks" for awhile and then it greys out again.
The only change that I have made from the time that it was working is to install the iphone package, and a today plugin (which I have since uninstalled) found here.
I recently changed my Kaiser Tweak bluetooth settings: I changed the BitPool from 'medium' to 'very high', but my headset was still working after that. The other settings are:
Sample Rate - 48000 (Advised)
Use Joint Stereo - Enabled (Default)
Receive Files - Enabled
Any ideas/suggestions?

Autoconnect A2DP when in range?

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

Bluetooth and A2DP toggle from button?

I'm still having the same problems with bluetooth on the Tilt that I posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=449775&highlight=kenwood+att+tilt
Since I can't seem to find a solution that will totally fix the problem I'm looking for workarounds. Is there a program out there that will toggle on bluetooth and a2dp at the same time from a hardware button? I've tried BTAudio but it won't turn bluetooth on and off. It just connects hands free and a2dp once bluetooth is turned on manually by the user. I've tried A2DP toggle. It will turn on/off bluetooth, a2dp, and execute a command of choice. It even comes with an icon (program) that can be mapped to a button. I was excited about it until I realized that the when you launch the icon, it only turns on a2dp. It doesn't turn on/off bluetooth or launch a command. You can only do that from the today plugin touchscreen buttons. That would be great if I didn't use manila 2d. Manila 2d does not allow the use of other today plugins. It replaces Home altogether. Too bad the makes of A2DP Toggle decided to limit the functionality of their icon program. Anyway, I'm looking for a program that can do it all and be mapped to a hardware button. Thanks in advance!
