Hello. I have an issue and i dont really know if this is possible! I want to have bluetooyh headset connected and be able to hear from the build in speaker. Is there anyway to do this? I have boca rc1 if this helps. Thanks in advance!
What do you want to hear? Music? Phone? Ringtones/Notifications? All should be possible...
For phone just untick the bluetooth while a call is active. For music, if bt headset is used by default, go to bt settings and unselect media option for your headset.

I just got myself a new bluetooth headset (Jabra 8040). This model allow stereo music streaming as well. The problem i face is that once i pair the bluetooth, the ring tone and sms tones goes direct to my headset and does not ring on the pda as it normally would.
My question....is there a software that allows me to decide if i want it for handfree or for listening to music. I know i can do this via the settings in bluetooth but that is just too many steps.
I'm not sure if what i ask above is understandable cos i honestly cannot figure out how else to ask this question. Any pointers would be great. Thanks
When you pair you should get the option for headset and audio streaming.
Just select audio stream and it shouldn't send the phone calls to the headset.
Cheers

That's the thing....when i select audio streaming, both music and ringtone & sms tone goes to the headset. If i select handsfree, then it works like a normal bluetooth handsfree but i don't have the option to use it for audio anymore.
I'm hoping to have a program or something to select or enable audio when i want to listen to music & then disable it and use it for handsfree when i don't want music.
If you go to Settings > Connnections > Bluetooth you should see the profile for the device. Click on it to edit and you will see two options, One for "Wireless Stereo" and one for "Headset". Make sure only the "Wireless Stereo" is checked and then click Save. This should do what you want, but I have never actually tried it myself. If it does not work, it may be the device you are pairing (some seem to work better then others). May someone who has tried this with another model can confirm it works correctly.
The part I am not sure about is where the sounds will go. So in the mode, music should go to the headphones, but what about alarm reminders, or along the same lines, the ringtone. I am not sure. I think there will still be some sounds that go to the phone speaker and I think the BT Audio CAB in the Latest CABS sticky can be used to toggle this, but there is little info about it in the post. If you are interested in using it, you may want to search and see if you can find more info.

Totally correct, adding to this, when you select 'Wireless stereo' It routes all sounds that would normally come out of the main speaker to the headphones (rings and notifications) audio in a call is either internal or external earpiece under 'Hands Free'. It does this so that when just listening to music, you do not miss a call or message!
If you only want music, put the phone into flight mode (nothing at all) or go to sounds and notifications and have all your incoming (calls & messages) set to vibrate only.
Hope this helps also.

How above the performance of Jabra 8040? Any sound skipping?
Thanx for the reply guys. That is what i want. Currently YES i'm able to toggle between using the bluetooth as a handsfree or for music via the settings->edit. I'm just wondering if there is a simple way like via a software which i can just tick and untick to either enable handsfree or music?
The Jabra 8040 is good. I like it and no i don't get any sort of skipping while listening to music. I would recommend this unless of course u are a hardcore music person. I'm not....it's only for once in a while sort of thing.
Hey all,
I have HD7 and listen to music when travelling, everything works fine. But just recently I attempted to watch a film and the sound will not play through the Bluetooth headphones, it transfers the sound to the speakers? Anyone know how to change this at all??

Hi, I noticed the same issue on mine and there seems no way to change it.
I will offer a thought on why i think is happening.
On my other Android phones only the Galaxy S actually did a good job of keeping the audio and video in sync when using Bluetooth A2DP. The protocol has buffering in it so for audio its no problem but video can be tricky.
I think they just set it to not use Bluetooth for video audio to save complaints.
shame.

Hello, do you have the possibility to call a contact with the voice ( voice dialing) by the headset like on the HD1 ( and not on the HD2) ?
Thanks

I don't know whether you can activate the voice dialing using purely the headset, but you can use voice dial through a bluetooth headset. Just connect the headset and then hold down the start button until it asks you to speak. It works no matter which app you're using.
It also works without the headset.
bluetooth headphones
Hi,
To Russ, i previously had a Touch Diamond 2 and used these same headphones and it worked perfectly. I actually believe it has something to do with Zune and the player that they use?, it cant recognise that a headset is attached and therefore reverts to the speakers.
With regards to activating the voice dialing, with my bluetooth headphones which are Sony ericsson ones, it has an answer button, which when pressed with no incoming call it activates the voice dialling just as usual saying the same "Call mum".

Thank you, goood news because the HD2's bluetooth stack wasn't able to hear the voice dialing by the blutooth headset , and it only works only by the HD2's microphone.
Thank you

I am not sure if you are still looking for this, but YES, the voice dialing can be activated using the BT Headset. I have a Voyager Pro Plus and it works just fine.
As per the original thread title, I am having the same problem playing video files audio not getting transmitted via my BT Headset, So I called HTC to ask them what was the problem. They confirmed it is a software issue.
He said, it was a WP7 limitation. May be the future updates might get that feature, but right now it SUX. I am not sure how MS managed to F#$% this up. I am really Pissed. I was waiting for ever for this Headset so that I can watch my movies during my commute with the convenience of a BT Headset, now the whole purpose is lost.
Im running precision 3.0 and I am able to hear my bluetooth calls via the headset but music only comes out the speaker of the phone. Anyone have any ideas? Cant workout and listen to music!!!

I'll take a stab at it. Bluetooth supports certain profiles. If you have a simple "Hands Free" headset, it may or may not produce music. I have Stereo BT headphones that function as a hands free headset (it also has a mic) as well as headphones for music. However I also have a low cost Motorola single ear loop and it only works for phone calls.
I think the type of headset you are looking for supports A2DP.
Or I might be completely wrong.

Is there any app or way to change ALL audio to go out the BT interface.?
Some of my apps speak while I am driving, and (not using a car dock) the audio comes out the speakers. I want to hear it in the Plantronics BT that is connected and works for cell calls.
Thanks
UPDATE: Found this that works: SuperMonoFroyo Free Trial. It worked.
I have a bluetooth headset that I use for calls when I'm driving to comply with the law here in California, but I also have a nice speaker system in my car. Whenever I connect my headset, it forces all audio to come through the headset as well as call audio. I know that I can go into the bluetooth settings for my headset and deselect the setting for media audio, but I would hate to do that every time I get into my car.. I have an NFC tag in my car and use Tasker a bit, does anyone know how to set this as a default setting or automate the setting change when I use my nfc tag?

Are you sure those settings don't persist?
Yep, 100 percent. At least on ARHD they don't. I've tested it quite a bit...
