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.

thx for telling us, I have never tried playing it while it was cradled. actually I don't cradle mine much, but i'll have a look into that.
thx,
mike :)

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.

Thanks for the quick response. I know I can count on you, always. :wav:

not a probelm ;)

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?

nall either way if a call comes in it overrides the music and u can answer the phone.
~mike

That's all that matters. I didn't want to miss a call just becuase I was rocking out to Buckcherry or Hinder.

So, Here's the deal, I've got a Bluetake BT450 headset which is A2DP compliant, but it doesn't work with my PPC6700. It didn't work b4 the rom upgrade, and it doesn't work with it. Are u guys using a diff. BT stack. It doesn't seem like there are any other profiles present for audio other than hands free and headset......If you can let me know......do I need a Diff. BT stack (and where can I get it?), if not, what do I need to do to get the audio gateway profile (or any other profiles for that matter) to work? Thanks for the help!

Yea check out this thread, this is what ur looking for. ;)

I have the SE HBH-610 and want to know if/how I can hear the ringtone through the earpiece. All I hear is a standard noise. It would be nice to hear the ringtone in case I'm not near the phone when it rings..

Your thoughts, comments, totally all-out love and affection?

The only way to do that is toggle to audio gateway open, and when it rings it will play through the headset, but u will hear the hissing when not listenin to music or its ringing. my also affect battery life. ;)

Question; Is a Motorola H700 A2DP compatable?

I'm still confused on exactly what this is or what it does. I've been reading up on it and if it sounts like the BtToggle program I had for my 6700. But can someone please give me the "lamens" version? I'd appreciate it!

yes this is the bluetooth toggle program, that u may have used on ur 6700. not the a2dp fix that's in another thread. as far as that headset I'm not sure. google the specs and see if that headset in a2dp compliant :D

hey i need the new microsoft .net page... first one didnt work ... really new to this type of thin just found ur page last nyt... hope u can help me thanks... had my phone for like 4 months and still dont kno jack about it... :?

ps I will edit first link when I get a chance.

Ok, So what is A2DP? Why the big deal over BTtoggle? Like I said, I searched and got that much, but that's all I understood :(

ok this (bttoggle) allows to use a regular headset and listen to music is mono (cant remember I think maybe 8kb) which is low quality and a2dp allows to listen to ur music is stereo which is a lot higher quality and u actually get that sound like ur listenin to ur ipod or cd player with the highs, meds, and lows actually hearing bass and what not. note that this is I'm laymens terms. :D maybe this helps.

Hmmmm i dont think i have the new rom but my headset(bluetrek x2) has worked with no hacks and extra effort from day one. All i do is press the button on the headset and the audio gate opens/turns on. I guess i am lucky....from what i understand it is the samplling rate that has to get better before BT will sound as good as a wire? as in 8 bit versus the 16 bit we are used to? is this limitation something that bt is likely to overcome ?

you can over come and get a2dp on the phone which offers stereo sound via bluetooth headsets.....but the headset itself has to be a2dp compatible.
~mike

Makes sense but i understand even the best BT stereo(mine is not a stereo headset) quality sound is not killer either. Is it still 8 bit ? I know the a2dp profile makes BT headsets that are stereo sound much better then the mono in both ears you get without it.

I'm not 100% sure what the rate is to be honest but with the a2dp profile sound quality is increased but not on regular headsets tho...

i have a treo 700wx and i installed the toggle...but when i switch over to the audio gateway and push the button on headset nothing happens and the sound still will come out of my speaker....u mentioned of locking your phone but the wx doesnt have device lock on the today screen...is the toggle not compatible to the 700wx? appreciate your help!

This dose not work on the 700w/wx. There is currently no way to listen to music over bluetooth on the these Treos' sorry

what if i had a stereo heaset with treo 700wx.....and can someone tell me how to activate bluetooth dun on the 700wx please

well ur not gonna get a2dp on the treo soooo if u wanna bluetooth dun, check the sticky in the apache forum that says read first and it has a link to howto do that. ;)
~mike

that didnt work for me....it keeps saying there is an error with my modem hardware...ithink its because treo disabled the bluetooth modem through the 700wx ive beenplaying with it and searchin online for about two months now with no luck....only thing that works is pdanet.....major disappointment with wx....im even having trouble hot syncing over bluetooth.............................by the way i somehow disabled cookies through my registry and now cannot access certain websites...do u know how to enable it through the registry...i forgot what i did!!!!!!!

u can reenable cookies in ur pie settings.....menu/options/security/ check the enable cookies box.
~mike

when i try to do that it says its enabled but for some reason it still isnt.......

I have a 700wx and tried to use the bttoggle but for some reason it doesn't work I have the netcf. file but doesn't work does someone know how to work it.

It's not the program it's the 700wx. Not sure why. I have a 6700.

bluetooth stereo headphones
 

ok so I have the HT280 Bluetooth Stereo Headphones by Motorola. I paired them up with my Treo 700wx phone BUT I can't heart any music from my phone in the haedphones. Now I called motorola and they said that the 700wx does not have the software needed to support the a2dp profile. I don't believe them. Anyone out here want to help me prove motorola wrong and hook me up with a way to hear my muisc on this headset?
