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.

Hello
I am a beginner both with the Kaiser and the A2DP . I have paired my Jabra 8010 BT correct and when I push the menu button I get the voice speed dial page with " no tag selected " so I assume my connection to the Kaiser is okay.
But when I want to use the stereo function for HTC Player or Windows mediaplayer the sound is not switching from the speaker to the headset .
Any idea what settings or steps I need to do to get the sound to the BT headset ?
There is as well no little Headset icon in the tool bar as set in page 176 of the manul .. (see I am reading first !)
Thanks for any help .

Did you pair the Jabra for A2DP? In the Kaiser's BT settings for the device, you should see two services, Hands Free & Wireless Stereo, and both boxes should be checked. If you see only one service, you'll have to re-pair the Jabra; if you see both, but Wireless Stereo isn't checked, check it.
hmm it looks more like a bug or a intended function.
I have both hands free and stereo profile.
When I delete the bluetooth pairing and re-pair it works like it should:
- Headset icon in menu bar
- when media player start the sound is automatic transfered to head set
but now ... when I switch out BT in the coms manager and switch it on again:
- no headset icon appears at all
- no transfer of sound from media player to head set
even the handbook says (page 176) run steps 1-3 of the paring again.
Does this means I need to re-pair mu stereo headset each time I want to have music transfered to the Heatset after switching off BT on the phone ???
That can not be true or ?
Freecall
confirmed ... looks like before any usage of wireless stereo (after switch off/on BT) I need to go each time into the connection manager, bluetooth settings, left tab on Jabra, select set as stereo ... if this is done the headset Icon appears again in the menu.
I am the only one to whom this looks very complicated to just listen to your podcast ... ?
Why cant the BT profile hold the information that my headset is BT stereo ???
Freecall
I seem to be having the same problem. Every time I turn on my Bluetooth, and every time I make a phone call, I have to un-check wireless stereo, save, then re-check it in order to listen to music via my Jabra BT8010.
I wish there was a fix for this.
Use A2DP toggle to re-connect from the today screen.
This may have been talked about before but my search didnt come up with anything so i thought i'd ask
i have a sony bluetooth headset and when i make and recieve calls it works fine
when i listen to music it comes out of the speaker on the phone
i guess this is a known 'problem' .. is there a setting somewhere i need to set
thanks in advance guys
To get standard audio thru the headset it has to support Wireless Stereo otherwise it will only work as a voice command/phone unit.
If you have a BT headset such as the Promate PM-2006 (which looks like a small pair of headphones with a mike) when paired to the phone it will show two profiles, 'Hands Free' and 'Wireless Stereo'
To set up audio thru this headset you go to 'Settings' 'Bluetooth' 'Devices', hold the stylus on the paired device you want to use and select 'Set as Wireless Stereo from the small drop down menu.
yeah i have both wireless stereo AND hands free selected .. thats what was confusing
Just to be sure...
You need to select both profiles when you first pair it.
But every time you want to listen to audio through it you need to go and select it for 'Wireless Stereo'. The phone then connects to the headset for that purpose.
Hope that's clear.
cheers .. i'll take a look at that ..
seems a bit crap tho eh??
Same on all windows devices, you have to tell them to play the audio through BT whereas a phone is listening for a headset.
True, a quick connect button would be much more help and I am sure if you search around you can find one.
ive got a paitr of motorola ht820's they just automatically pair up and sort out the myusic and calls when i turn bluetooth on however, they dont play nice when wifi is turned on
Hi all-
I'm still fiddling with and hacking up my new HTC Fuze that I just got this week. One thing that I'm trying to find, but not having the best luck, is if there is any tool that anyone has built that will auto-change the sound and notification settings based on a connection of a BT device. For example, if I have my headset on and connected, it beeps in my ear when the phone rings, so I'd like to have the actual phone itself be silent in my pocket, then when I turn off the headset, the sound and vibration for the standard ringer is re-enabled. Anyone know of anything that does this?
Thanks in advance!
Not sure but I think SPB Phone Suite will do this.
You can setup different profiles and then rules, so if BT headset is enabled the headset profile is enabled, when the headset is disabled it'll drop back to another profile.
It's not free mind.
Hope it helps,
D.
Hi, i have spent some time searching now and since i couldn't find this anywhere i decided to post here, hope someone can help me.
Recently, i bought the official sony playstation 3 bluetooth headset (http://www.us.playstation.com/PS3/Accessories/SCPH-98095) and i have connected it to my xperia x1 through bluetooth (running with itje's touch-it xperience v13.2), the problem is, it only outputs sound for the voice calls, i can't listen to music on it or the normal phone sounds. I know it would be mono sound and not high quality, but i would like to listen to the sound anyway sometimes because its better then leaving it silent.
i have tried in the bluetooth configuration window, clicking in advanced, editing the wireless device profile, thre it was marked hands-free, i clicked refresh and headset appeared, i marked it, then the headset disconnects. when i reconnect it, it auto demarks headset, or it doesnt connect.
I have looked around to see if it was the bluetooth headset problem, but i have not seen anyone else complaining about this or even mentioning it can't play the phone sounds (just some complains about the ps3 sounds not outputing but thats the ps3 fault), and i have also searched to see if it is x1s fault but haven't managed to find an answer as well, so if anyone can plz help i would really appreciate it. Thanks.
thats pretty much because its no BUG.
what u want is a a2dp headset. something tells me that the ps3 headset doesn has this feature. normal headset just route voice calls while a2dp headset route everything.
actually, i didnt use the word bug because i though that might be the case
it has the headset and handsfree profile, not a2dp, but what i wasnt sure if it really needed to have de a2dp profile to output normal sounds, from what i've read it seems it is needed to output stereo high quality sounds, but just sounds with low quality would work for me, thats why im asking, i though the headset profile would be enough for that.
so if i get your message right, unless it has specifically the a2dp profile, there is no other way of making the sound output on the headset, low or high quality?
now i know there might be a way to make it work.
i was listening to some music today using the music player that comes with touchflo 3d, then i pressed the talk button of my bluetooth headset to issue a voice command (with the microsoft voice command program), then the music started playing in my headset while it was waiting for the voice command, once it got the command the music went back to the phone.
Does anyone know any way to make my headset keep playing the sounds, or could at least explain what happens when i press the talk button so i have an idea of where to look to see if find a way?
no one can help me with this? not any tip or a way to select a different output for audio or anything like that?
Also an issue with Audio Gateway
I have tested this issue on two seperate headsets, and so far can get the Xperia to work ONLY as hands free. Seperate phones sperate headsets. The other phone pushed audio thru to the headset whereas the X1 only routes calls.
I also cant find much of this on XDA or anywhere else?
Help?
Regards
i used an ad2p software downloaded from here when i had this issue with my lg ks20. But i havent the gut or im just lazy to try this app on the x1. Maybe u should give that ad2p software a try.
Despite disabling the media audio output every time I connect my BT headset, it turns itself back on when the headset is reconnected. Is there a way to disable this permanently? I want to use the aux out on my stereo for music and the headset for phone, but don't want to keep disabling it every time I turn it on..
Frustrating...
Bump - anyone have any ideas?

There should be third party audio managers that let you pick which output is used for what, I can't think of any names but a little app store scraping should turn something up. That said, I'm sot sure if you can output music and stream a call simultaneously...

I just want it to retain the settings like it did in AOSP. When I set my BT headset to 'Phone Audio' and uncheck 'Media Audio', I want it to keep those settings the next time it connects.
Instead, it turns them both back on again. Which means turning my BT headset on while driving / listening to music results in the audio playing through the BT headset.

AOSP uses a third party audio manager, until it's available as a rom you'll have to find a different third party option. Almost any of them should save your settings...
Any ideas on the app? I've tried bluetooth auto connect as well as trying to set up Tasker profiles. No luck whatsoever.
