Newbie: Skype over phone instead of speaker - HTC Wings

Hello
I just installed Skype for smartphones on my new S730 and the connection works like a charm. However, so far the sound is only played over the phone's loudspeaker. Is there a way to change that, so I can skype using the S730 like a normal phone?
Thanks.
Rob

Currently it's not possible. When calling with Skype, just turn round the phone.

use headphones

I have another question. Is there a way to use Bluetooth handsfree with skype. When i connect my bluetooth handsfree and make call over skype, the sound come from loadspeekers. Works only with wired (headphones) handsfree.

The "issue" is that the API [for sound output] used for VoIP is the same as the Windows Mobile OS (like media player, ringers...) use; not the same the phone uses.

thanks for the answers, guys!
that sucks! any hope this will get resolved sometime soon?
cheers!
rob

Oh, I don't think its solved "soon". Or somewhere in the future. I have had a qtek 2020i and already in those ancient days, I had the problem that it was not possible to use a BT-headset for voip-connections.
For the 730:
Whats about using a stereo-bluetooth headset? Its made only for listening music?!
So, could work for voip/skype too?!?

I suppose that would work, depending on which API VoIP uses to output sound. If it is the same that music uses, then yes, it would work. I'm going to guess it is since wired the stereo headphones work.

BT 4 MP3, one BT headset for 2 phones?

is there a way to listening mp3 from bluetooth headset?
which bt stack is the best?
i was using jabra bt258 and able to connect my old xda2 and xphone into the jabra.. so i could use one bt headset for both phone and connected all the time.
tried with xda2s and xphone2 and nothing like it works.. does anyone try it?
I don't think BT headsets were meant for MP3 playback. It won't work. FYI: i'm using a HP Bluetooth headphones with my IIs.. works fine. Occasional static/cutting depending on where my IIs is, but works for me.
Do a search and you'll find more information on this topic. I'm too lazy to search, otherwise i'd do it for you. :
BT headsets work fine to hear mp3 in PocketPC (non phone edition)
but it doesn´t work in Blue angel (or I can´t manage it)
I don´t know if it works in another phone edition
sorry
has anyone try with 2 handset and using one bluetooth only?
bluetooth headset for MP3s
just bought the XDA IIs, and upgraded the rom via the O2 website. I previously had the 6315, which sucked BUT it had the A2DP audio profile for bluetooth. A previous user described the fact that they own an HP headset and were able to listen to MP3s on the IIs. Previously i was able to do so on the 6315 w/ the jabra BT250. I want this ability on the IIs, how did you do it? Please be specific, and talk as if you're talking to a complete novice (YOU ARE, LOL). Thanking you in advance!
Re: bluetooth headset for MP3s
Any one got a follow-up for the problem?

do a search of XDA forums - i'm pretty sure it's been discussed.
my only concern is how efficient is this all going to be... don't know about headset, but the phone battery WILL crap out after a couple hours of BT usage... unless u have it cradled in a car or something...
I did some research last night but didn't find out the solution
I have a moto hs850 handfree.
how to use it for listening mp3?
It seems I have added 'A2DP audio profile for bluetooth'
but in the profile 'use hands-free for:
here only shows Telephone calls
is it right? I assume it should be have more option for me to choose

TomTom commands over bluetooth car kit?

Hi,
is there a way that TomTom will output the voice commands over my Parrot bluetooth car kit? This would be great as the Diamond speaker quality is really very poor...
Thanks
I am very glad that Diamond doesn't speak through my Parrot (only calls and voice dialing)
My previous Nokia E60 did and it was terrible, always interrupting my in-car stereo
Maybe you have very loud car? or try make TomTom speak louder

Hi..
I don't know if it is spelled the right way.. but vjvlobilis should do the trick.
If it doesn't work for you.. then search here or on google for bluetooth audio gateway.
@tehac: no my car is pretty new and not that loud but the speaker quality on the diamond is really crap.
@Richard: may be I am unable to handle google but nothing found...
I installed BtMusic, this works great with a Parrot CK3100. You could try it!

The previous answers are for using a2dp, but I assume you meant using hf (hands free) profile so it would interrupt the car radio and play the voice direction. This is not possible because of the way TomTom is written, it uses the a2dp profile.
You can listen to music from the phone using the above methods and it will play the voice directions along with the music.
As earlier described, you need support of the A2DP profile in your parrot. I am using a parrot MK6000 and it works like a charm! Also for playing music, streaming music and films (though the last one i hardly use, only see last tour de france news in the traffic jam)
So, does it works, Yes, without problems, Yes, but only with the MK6000 and MK6100

Intresting! So does that mean when any sound is played from the handset, the radio is cut and switched to the handset, then when it finishes it cuts back to the radio?
Sounds great, better than the old ck3000 were you have to switch constant streaming on for it to come through!

Jep, for some programs it works by pressing the play button on the carckit, and if not I go to bluetooth settings and activate bluetooth wireless stereo, then al the things are forwarderd, tomtom, audio, streams etc.
(Tomtom only misses the first 0,5 second of the first sentence, but i resolved this issue by editing the audiofiles from tomtom)

It works exactly as you describe with TT7 and my Ck3100. So without a2dp. Using the tool mentioned, my radio is muted when a voice-direction is played, and the music comes back a few seconds after the command. (Just like with an incoming call)
So in my opinion it also works great with the 3100

@Bureno: I have a CK3000 Evolution. I'll give it a try with the tool mentioned anyway...
Does not seem to work with the CK3000 Evolution. If I switch it to "Enabled" I can hear the commands over the car kit but nothing else, no more radio. If I have it disabled and just set to "Autoconnect A2DP" it does not work.
Any ideas?
Ah so it is just constantley streaming then. It doesnt switch between them?
Yes, that's it...

Try this one posted in a Spanish forum.
ill try to explain how my setup is as best as i can
i have a ppc6700 runing ROm6.1( Kitchen ) and TomTom7 ( with TT6 maps ). I use an external BT ( Holux GPSlim240 ) also use CorePlayer ( for streaming shoutcast ). In the car i have a JVC-BT1 ( bluetooth deck )..
I can play streamed audio form shoutcast and have TomTom talk in the background... Works fantastic !!!!
Only thing is i have to keep the car deck at BT Audio ( its a setting such as CD, Radio, BT phone and BT Audio ) it does not work unless the deck is set to BTAudio..
Anyway i can say it does work with waht i have, cant say for all configurations.. good luck on your venture....
FYI, i just changed over to IGO8 and IT DOES NOT WORK....

@pizcolq: my Spanish is not the best but honestly I do not see what the tool in the thread posted has to do with the problem we are dealing here... perhaps you could translate/explain a part of it? thanks
I saw that basically it is working with Btmusic. The commands are transfered to the car kit, it does just not switch on and off as commands come...
So I guess technically it should be possible, I just need the right app on my diamond which switches the car kit only to on when a command is coming... Can not be that difficult, can it?

Jabra SP 700 bluetooth to FM transmitter

Anyone tried this hands free device? I am interested in its use as a hands free calling device as well as the ability to play mp3's via bluetooth to an fm transmitter...
I am interested to know how it works with the X1

why waste money on bad quality FM transmitter instead of BT? Get a header that support bluetooth (e.g. JVC BT-1, some models from Sony and others). If you header has aux input and you want to do it in a cheaper way, get an Sony DS-205 and connect that to yr header.
jackleung is rigth.
I have the sp 700 and the FM is bad,but if you need a good portable carkit it's ok.
The sound of the internal speaker and the mic is good.
Still one minus, i had to install this http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-zoa2dp.html
to get it to pair rigth.
Only got the systeemsound over bt but after installing the cab everything works great.
No more bt trouble
This could be a alternertive http://www.motorola.com/Consumers/XW-EN/Consumer-Products-and-Services/Mobile+Phone+Accessories/Car-Accessories/Speakerphones/T505-Bluetooth-In-Car-Speakerphone-with-Digital-FM-Transmitter-XW-EN
I don't now about the fm and bt kwality,but as far as i know it suports multipairing and thats a big + if you have more than 1 device

Would there be a way for you to record a sample of the stream through FM transmitter? I'd REALLY appreciate that as i'm looking to buy the SP700 as well. The only thing that's holding me back is your comment.
I really want the FM option and this one was the only one that i could find that had a nice design and good features.

I try ,give me a day or 2 to do this.
soundfiles
First of all ,this is very subjective.
I don't have a kwality recording device. This is recorded with a mp3 player.
It's done in my car(no engine) and it's hard to hear the high tones and the static of the fm transmission.
So don't kill me if you do something and regret it later.
I have recorded speech and music. For reference i have 1 empty soundfile from the recording device so you can hear the static from it.
I stand to what i sayed before ,the sp700 is a great handfree device for calls and navigation,but the fm performances for music is on it's best tolerable but not good enough.
If you don't have 1 and you want it for the music...., i wouldn't buy it,for handfree , great!!!!!!!!!!!, even over fm

Kudos. I actually got mine last week and love them so far. I'm having a problem in that after the first pairing when it automatically connects, music will play through the device, not the SP700s, i have to sometimes repair to get it going or do some weird stuff. I've tried A2DP toggle with no success and it seems like a lot have this issue, find a remedy for this?

Read about it hire:http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-zoa2dp.html
Just installed it (didn't find an icon so i'm guessing it runs in the background). I deleted my connection with the SP700 and i'll check how it works out tomorrow (after the first pair).
Is this only good for WM 5? Does this do anything for WM 6.1 phones which supports A2DP?
I've been using A2DP toggle with success, but if this works with the toggling it sounds great.
Update: loaded it on my Tilt. Works GREAT!! Switches between BT headset & SP700 with any toggling or pairing

@kareem9nba You use ATT. Have you experienced any problems with your Internet connection after installing zoA2dp? It seems that after I use BT and access the Internet, I get a 403 Forbidden error on my screen. I've tried enabling and disabling the hidden proxy, but I can only get access restored with a soft reset. Anyone else experience this problem?
Another minor glitch. I use Resco radio to stream music through the SP700, after a phone call, the radio has to be manually enabled again.
Don't have a data package so i wouldn't be able to try that. I don't use Resco Radio either. When you uninstall it, does your internet work again?

I can't seem to find what is causing the problem. If the problem gets worse, I'm sure a Hard Reset will fix it.
I will say that if I keep the power cord plugged in it works like a antenna and actually will get a better signal. I love how the SP700 works with calls, transmitting and music (when you get it to work). As of now when I want to play music over the SP700 I need to turn off the wireless stereo on the phone and then re-enable it for it to work. Or just re-pair the unit to my phone. A lot of people are say to use zoa2dp to fix this. While it does work and allows music to be played with no re-pairing necessary, the sound quality seems to be greatly reduce. Is anyone having the same issue? Is there a ROM for the Tilt that can fix this bug?

I have a Fuze and the same problem. It sucks. zoa2dp is automatic, but the sound quality is degraded a bit. To maintain the sound quality I have to manually turning off and then on the Wireless Stereo setting. Another option is you can install the a2dptoggle app. It seems to do the same thing but in 1 click.

Put Microsoft Bluetooth Stack back into Touch Pro2?

I'm using a T-Mobile Touch Pro2 which includes the Broadcom Bluetooth stack and Microsoft Voice Command 1.6.2105. The problem is the Bluetooth software is not compatible with Voice Command and I hate it.
Voice Command is unable to announce TTS events via any bluetooth headset despite having the option for that turned on. Also, activating Voice Command via a bluetooth headset button is either very slow, or unstable (doesn't work sometimes).
Has anyone been able to create a Rhodium ROM that uses the normal Microsoft Bluetooth stack, which has been known to actually work with 3rd party programs?
I had this issue and moved to NRG's Genesis 6.5 rom. everything works fine.
I have not seen a 6.1 rom that works tho.
My TMoUS TP2 works perfect with my Motorola S9's when using the MSVC that came on the stock ROM.

Finally someone who has the same problems as I have.
There are also other annoying side effects of this Broadcom stack:
- As we all know the stereo output is nothing compared to for example an IPhone. Therefore I always used WOW SRS as a sound mixer which closed the gap at least to some degree on my Kaiser.
But now with the TP2 and its Broadcom stack as soon as WOW SRS is installed (I know about the different settings and driver versions to get it working, so this is not the cause) the BT stack is only connecting the hands free profile after this and the stereo profile is simply not working any more.
With the old MS stack this was not a problem.
So I'm back to the old crippled stereo output again
- One could imagine using the integrated HTC sound mixer/booster, but here another even more annoying thing comes into play:
The internal sound mixer (and also the FM radio by the way) are not working with BT at all!!!
Both are only working with a cabled headset and I found no way of getting the FM radio sound to the BT headset or using the sound mixer function on BT.
Together with the non working voice command thing this whole BT integration is so dilettantish that I can hardly believe HTC is selling it as a "professional smartphone".
If someone has any workaround for the above things I would highly appreciate it.
And of course if one of the chefs could implement the old MS BT stack in a cooked ROM this would also be a great thing, but I have not seen one so far.
But even if, I can only hope that some HTC people are reading these comments and that HTC is putting some more professionality into this issue and will soon get it together as a working whole and not as this amateurish implemantation it is currently

What Pioneer headunit/Pioneer bluetooth unit are you using?
I have an AVIC-D3 with the Pioneer CD-BTB200 module for bluetooth. I have zero issues making it connect with the CD-BTB200 module. I can make calls, receive calls, play bluetooth stereo, etc. The ONLY issue that I have is that when the phone rings on an incoming call, I only hear the ring through my phone's speaker, not the speakers in my SUV. This was not an issue with the M$ Bluetooth stack, however. Go figure. If I can figure out how to make the phone sounds play through my speakers (yes, I have the send notifications/sounds box checked in the advanced bluetooth properties), everything will work 100%.
I wanted to do this, for my own as well. I think the problem we're facing is... drivers. The phone has a slightly different bt/wifi/radio module, therefore required the broadcom drivers. I'll look into making it work with the MS BT stack though... although I'm not too optimistic.
The worst thing in my opinion is the described fact that the internal FM radio and the equalizer/booster can not be used with any hooked up BT device.
Therefore listening to FM radio with BT headphones is simply not possible.
By the way I think this was also an issue in older models, so I don't think that this is a newly introduced thing with the TP2 and the Broadcom stack.
Does anyone of you guys see a solution for sending the FM radio output to the BT channel?

No, because the cable of the wired headset is used as antenna. even if you manage to fool the radio application to start with the wired headset not connected you won't hear anything but noise.

What Pioneer headunit/Pioneer bluetooth unit are you using?
I have an AVIC-D3 with the Pioneer CD-BTB200 module for bluetooth. I have zero issues making it connect with the CD-BTB200 module. I can make calls, receive calls, play bluetooth stereo, etc. The ONLY issue that I have is that when the phone rings on an incoming call, I only hear the ring through my phone's speaker, not the speakers in my SUV. This was not an issue with the M$ Bluetooth stack, however. Go figure. If I can figure out how to make the phone sounds play through my speakers (yes, I have the send notifications/sounds box checked in the advanced bluetooth properties), everything will work 100%.

I am using a JVC deck and it connects great. Sound quality is a bit better than from my Wing; my only problem is that when I disconnect from the call it takes my TP2 2-3 minutes to show that the call is actually ended, it runs slower than molases like I have 50 programs running and all trying to access the internet and downloading large files. After the 2-3 minutes the phone has returned to normal like nothing was wrong. I am thinking of flashing to one of the good looking 6.5 roms that our wonderful chefs have cooked up for us, but I cant decide which one to try first!

The worst thing in my opinion is the described fact that the internal FM radio and the equalizer/booster can not be used with any hooked up BT device.
Therefore listening to FM radio with BT headphones is simply not possible.
By the way I think this was also an issue in older models, so I don't think that this is a newly introduced thing with the TP2 and the Broadcom stack.
Does anyone of you guys see a solution for sending the FM radio output to the BT channel?

In the stock tmobile tp2 there is a app in the windows folder labeled btfm.exe I started it up but I I was only able to get about 15 seconds of audio play using my h500 motorola headset....no bt headphones to test out.

No, because the cable of the wired headset is used as antenna. even if you manage to fool the radio application to start with the wired headset not connected you won't hear anything but noise.

The point is that I want to be able to use the wireless BT headset with all the audio sources on the device. This would only be logical.
Having to use the wired headset as antenna is of course the other annoying thing in the hardware design of this device (since I think HTC should also have been able to get FM reception with a built in antenna or even the phone frame. Don't know why they have not done this in order to at least allow using the radio in situations where one has got no headset at hand, especially with the TP2, which has got no 3.5mm jack)
But apart from this issue still the only consequent thing would be to be able to use all audio sources with the attached wireless headset. That's what is it for...

Yes, this first seemed to be an option to me also, but on my TP2 if I open the btfm.exe I get absolutely no sound, no matter which speaker setting in the software. Not on the wired headphone, not on the internal speaker and also not on the BT headset, even though it is successfully attached with the stereo profile.
Have tried this with several ROMs, always the same problem: No output at all.
And on some it even won't start (error message Unable to extract skin template)
But since HTC has included this exe in the ROM but has not put a link in the start menu I think they know about this lack of functionality, but have not solved it.
Does anyone know more about btfm.exe and a way to get it working?

I feel your pain. I miss having JetwareMobile to help interface with my car's head unit.

I'm using a T-Mobile Touch Pro2 which includes the Broadcom Bluetooth stack and Microsoft Voice Command 1.6.2105. The problem is the Bluetooth software is not compatible with Voice Command and I hate it.
Voice Command is unable to announce TTS events via any bluetooth headset despite having the option for that turned on. Also, activating Voice Command via a bluetooth headset button is either very slow, or unstable (doesn't work sometimes).
Has anyone been able to create a Rhodium ROM that uses the normal Microsoft Bluetooth stack, which has been known to actually work with 3rd party programs?

Check out this rom

it appears to do what you want.
Yes, and also the latest of NRGZ28's ROMs does have the BT triggered VC:

Seems like realls HTC has managed to get back this functionality into the latest BT stack version, even though there seem to be some bugs still in conjunction with the current V 1.6.21040 as I wrote here:

Hi everyone, I have a similar question related to the Microsoft bluetooth stack. I have an ATT Tilt2 (stock ROM still) and have downloaded the Office 2010 beta programs from the Marketplace. A new feature (at least I think it is new) is the Presentation Companion for PowerPoint which allows you to control a PowerPoint presentation using your phone.
When I try to set up the Presentation Companion, however, it gives me a message about not being able to find any bluetooth devices. The instructions from Microsoft say that you must have the Microsoft bluetooth stack installed on the phone and the computer you want to control to get this functionality. I never get to the point of connecting to my computer so I figure it must be the phone.
Has anyone else had similar issues or tried the Presentation Companion? I tried applying the .CAB update listed earlier in this thread but it did not help.
On a side note, with the stock bluetooth stack I have had no issues connecting to my Pioneer headunit in my car for hands-free and A2DP stereo streaming. I have not tried to use the controls from my radio to control the playback, so I'n not sure if that works. The headunit I'm using is the DEH-710BT.
Thanks!

I have a Pioneer AVIC-D3 and have no issues with playback (or the controls) using the BT stack in the Rhodium. This, of course, was tested with Windows Media Player. I can do forward, reverse, pause, stop, play, etc.

Radio via Bluetooth. HELP

I am the happy owner of a HTC Topaz.
I ride a motorbike, and have recently bought a bluetooth crash helmet with built in speakers / mic which works a treat for answering and making calls and also for listening to TomTom navigation instructions from my HTC Topaz.
However, I have yet found a solution to allow me to listen to the built in radio via bluetooth. Because HTC requires the plug-in headset to act as an antena the radio doesnt work without it.
However when I plug in the headset, i get instant radio reception but then the sound is routed to the plug-in headset , rather thean the bluetooth speakers.
My logic tells me that there must be some way to use the plug in headset as ONLY an antena allowing the sound to be routed by deafault to the bluetooth headset. Surely this is software driven?
I am not a software Guru, but keen to learn and frustreted that there doesnt seem to be a yet obvious solution to this problem.
Any help would be appreciated.

You have to use plug-in headset as antenna.
Then try this:

Sorry if i've messed up with protocol. I thought that i'd have more chance of a solution hitting various forums areas..
Unfortunately you might find it's not possible because the audio routing to the bluetooth encoder inside the phone is probably before the point at which the FM audio is injected. Just speculation,but I believe it may be the case.
If the first one doesn't work, check this:
