How to listen to music with a regular bluetooth headset.

So you have got a bluetooth headset thats not A2DP compliant and you want to listen to music via your headset. If you have the new rom you can simply activate the lock function and hit the button on your bluetooth headset which opens the audio gateway, open windows media and listen to files via ur headset. Or if you dont have the new rom or you simply do wanna go through those few steps, follow these instructions. First if you dont have the newest version of microsofts .net framework u can download that from HERE (note: this has to be installed for the BTToggle program to work), unzip and install the .cab onto your phone (in main memory), then you can the download the program attached to use to open and close the audio gateway. Simply extract the .cab and install. Once installed on your device simply run the toggle program and its opens the gateway to listen to music, toggle the program again and its back to only being used for calls.

Thanks man this works perfectly except for one part. I tried just locking my phone on the new ROM, but the Voice Dial still wanted to take over and was not working properly. The toggle seems to work great, I just haven't dealt with any calls yet.

Nice add!

if you lock it and hit the button on the headset it will open the gateway. You should hear the beep then nothing but a slight hissing in the background, unlock it and listen to music on ur bluetooth headset.

if you follow the directions, it will work perfectly. Thanks by the way! also if you charge your 6700 with the cradle while listening to the music, it will kinda skip.

Ok, I had the same problem. When I hit the headset, the sound comes through but the voice dial takes right over. How can I lock it? Thanks.

on the today screen (with the new rom) hit the device lock option, then hit the button on the headset to activate the gateway, unlock it and now u should be able to listen to music via the headset.

Okay, I go this feature to work just using the lock button. Is the toggle used to jump between music and calls? If I am using the H700 for listening to music and a call comes in, will I be able to switch between the two? Or what process will I have to do to ensure that I can answer the call?
