Question Bluetooth for audiobooks/music ?

Hey All,

I'm coming from the ppc 6700 and am loving the HTC TouchPro so far; however I can't seem to get my bluetooth headset (Motorola HS850) to work for anything outside of phone calls. In the past with my 6700, once I started to listen to music or an audiobook I'd just hit the connect button on the headset and all sound from speaker would be transferred to the bluetooth. Now, if I have Voice Command enabled (which I never installed on the 6700) when I press the connect button, the voice command microphone pops up -- and temporarily I can hear music or my audiobook -- then within a few seconds of the disappearance of the microphone (presumably voice command senses no voice input) I lose sound to my headset. When I disable Voice Command, nothing happens when I try to connect via my headset (or if I hold down connect, it dials the last # I called); however I can easily answer and talk on the phone with it . . . Has anyone had these issues, and if so, is there any fix or work around ?? . . . TIA

I too am have the same problem. I guess I will have to use the wired head set it came with for now until the pros here can tell us to do.
Thanks

Mono headset. Without BTMusic, it will only do phone audio.

That is prob why you would need a program to force the sound to the headset if the headset is mono only, or get a stereo headset and it will rock..

Re: Bluetooth for audiobooks/music ?

I don't have a problem using my bluetooth headset for calls and stereo music/audiobooks.

That is, when I'm trying to use WMP or the Sprint Music Tab.

Your connection settings should have options for your headset for both bluetooth stereo and a normal headset. I click both on, though when I'm done listening - I go back there and click the stereo off. In the past I've found that even the rings would get routed to my headset and I'd miss calls. I only use the standard bluetooth settings, I don't add any programs like the one listed above.

I use the Jabra BT8010 headset, which is both mono and stereo. You can connect a second piece for stereo listening. When I've started listining to a music track, I can press one of the headset buttons to pause music. I can press it twice to go to the next track. When a call comes in, it pauses the music and interrupts.

The only problem I've found is that the AVCRP drivers are locked to WMP and the Sprint Music Tab. So I can't control music with any other programs. Slide to Play works ok by running WMP in the background - but I found it too buggy to use. If Pocket Player found a fix for AVCRP controls - I'd probably buy it.
