I was baruusing the internets and found this app. Apparently this is totally different from the various bt audio toggler programs. This actually toggles the a2dp on and off when you're using A2DP enabled BT Headphones. Has anyone tried using this before?
here's some info about it:
A2DPToggle 1.1.010
This software installs as a today or home plugin and allows the user to switch the audio between Device Speaker and A2DP Stereo Headsets. It also supports Speakerphone mode.
Features:
Instantly switch the audio between A2DP Device and the Windows Mobile Device
Supports both Pocket PCs and Smartphones
Bluetooth and Headsets state indicators
Advanced graphics
Settings panel with configurable options
Speakerphone support

sounds interesting ill check it out
I tried it out and (atleast for me) its not a worthwhile program. I can do the same thing with my headset (Jabra 8010) simply by pressing abutton on the headset. But it does work, so it might be usefull for someone.
Useful for me thanks..
I installed this on my Dash with the latest kavana rom and it refuses to run. I tried to uninstall it, and it won't uninstall either. I'm a super n00b at this BT audio business, and I'm looking to force the audio to my mono BT device like I've seen mentioned on several forums. I've gotten it to work by using MS voice command to bug out while WMP is running, but it reverts back to my speaker if I touch the call button on my headset.
Any help or suggestions?

Hello
My device is XDA IIi (Alpine).
I got a bluetooth stereo with hands-free capabilities device qstarz BH-Q392S and I had my bluetooth stack updated with the needed profiles. I paired the devices and the stereo (high quality) and the hands-free profiles are working correctly. However, I have two buttons in my bluetooth stereo: "Next" and "Previous" that are used to change tracks. They are not working for me.
Is there a special program I have to install in order to make them work?
Did I miss something, or they cannot be used at all on Pocket PCs ?
The stack that you upgraded your device with, did they come with the headphones? I've got a pair of HP headphones and the track buttons don't work (on my magician) because the stack does not support it. If I had an HP device and installed the proper software the buttons would work.
Now it is working
First of all, my bluetooth stack was downloaded from: http://www.pdagold.com/forums/view_topic.asp?t=5012&fi=0
The buttons did not work with the normal windows media player, so I read that TCPMP has a support for buttons. After installing TCPMP I ran it, clicked "Options>Settings>Select Page>Advanced" and I checked the "Widcomm BT Audio button support" box. After restarting TCPMP the buttons worked !!!
I'm so happy!
I'm using a bluetooth 2.0 stereo headset with my HTC Herald. The problem is that when you press the function key on the headset for a second, it automatically calls the last number dialed. Is there a registry setting or something that can disable this feature in order to prevent making accidental calls?
Also, each time the headset connects, it doesn't automatically set as wireless stereo. I have tried the A2DP Toggle today screen plugin. Although it works, I'm still looking for a way to map the function to a hardware key, without taking up space on the today screen. Any help would be appreciated.
Which headset are you using?
I'm using a Clip II Mini. It's the one they sell on eBay that looks like a 2nd gen iPod Shuffle, and has a 3.5mm stereo jack. With my previous BT 1.2 headset, all I had to do was click one of the controls to activate wireless stereo mode.

'cause it only supports HFP and not AD2P (wireless stereo).
It even say on the Jabra BT135 site.
Try using the latest beta of BatteryStatus and the tray icon to manager the bluetooth functions. Solved all my problems. It makes it a 1 click operation. Just toggle A2DP and it automatically turns on Bluetooth and activates the "Stereo Headset" profile for my headset device.
BatterStatus Extended V. 1.05 Beta nightly build
Thread I used to discuss my issue
As for the auto dialing I haven't encountered it since installing and using the
A2DP toggle on BatteryStatus. Only conflicts I encounter are when I use Audio Manager and WMP and forget to close the process on 1 which is my own fault.
Good Luck
First of all, I would like to says big thank to all rom cooker. You all did a very great roms. However, I still have a little problem that annoy me a lot...
I had connected the stero bluetooth headset with Hermes and choose both "Wireless Stero" and "Headset" profiles in bluetooth setting.
Then when there is incomming call, the Hermes will not ring. So I had a lot of miss calls.
However, if I disable the "Wireless Stero" profile in bluetooth setting, the Hermes will ring normally.
I used to use the Prophet before and there is no problem. The Prophet will ring normally although I choose both profiles.
The stero bluetooth headset is the same, iTech Clip Radio.
I had tried on many roms and found the same problem. So I guess that maybe I have to modify the registry setting to enable ringing on "Wireless Stero" profiles. Can somebody help me to solve the problem please???
I have the same issue and assumed that's how it worked since I just got this Jabra BT8040 that supports wireless stereo. It would only ring through my headset when wireless stero was enabled. If there is a way to get the phone to ring also that would be great. Right now I do the same thing as you, disable the wireless stereo until I need to use it.
My guess is this is by design since all sound is routed to stereo headset then so would the ringer. This isn't an issue for me since the Jabra BT8010 I can turn on/off stereo by simply pressing a button on the headset.
Sorry don't know of a solution.
Thinking about it I guess you could use something like mortscript and make a button that turns stereo pairing on/off to make it simpler I dunno.
I have similar issues with the PAYS rom, when listening to music via my BT earpice (Jabra) where you click the answer button on the earpice it then takes the music from the device and plays it through the jabra ONLY for about 5 seconds and then defaults back to the device?
Any suggestions would be appreciated?
I have searched around XDA and haven't found a solution to this yet.
I have a wireless transmitter to play music in my car. When I turn bluetooth on it automatically turns on 'Hands-Free' but doesn't turn on 'Stereo Audio'.
Previously on my Kaiser (with a different car kit) turning on the transmitter set it up automatically.
I have tried AutoA2DP (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530932) but I'm not sure it worked - it certainly hasn't achieved the effect I want (although it does seem to open Media Player when I connect now).
Anyone found a solution on the TP2?
Cheers,
I did have take a quick look at my TP2, because I had no problem with the connection. My car radio (Sony Xplod) gives 2 icons... 1 from the hands-free and the other of my Audio. I've looked in my settings for you, and found one option what must be checked. It's something like: Make a seperate connection for handfree and audio! (I'm guissing to that sentence becuase I have a dutch ROM!)
Hope it helped you!
greetz
EDIT:
Just did take a closer look into my car, and now it also didn't take the extra connection with my sterio audio. This is the solution:
Go to Com Manager
Press Setting
Press Bluetooth
Take the second tab
And tap than Sterio Audio
Now He's saying he's trying to make a connection e voila! Now it's playing music true your car audio!
(This is the way with TF3D2!'

Yes - I've been doing this every time I get in my car - I just wish there was a way of doing it automatically (and then preventing the message 'You can't control audio via this headset' or similar).
Cheers,

Hi,
Same problem in my car. Same car radio working with two (Sony Ericsson) phones I used before. They always connected immediately (both 'Hands-Free' + 'Stereo Audio). Strange that the TP2 is not comfortable with this simple task. Indeed, I think the option "Connect separately to Bluetooth hands-free and stereo audio services" should be unchecked but despite this option, the TP2 is still waiting for the appropriate tap. Going to BT settings and tapping 'Stereo Audio' each and every time is frustrating and uncomfortable.
Added subscription to this topic.
I'm a bit frustrated too with the AD2P auto connect problem.
I have a Sony MEX-BT3700U Car radio.
When I sit in my car, the handsfree function connects automatically with no hassle.
But not the Stereo Audio (A2DP) function. I connect it via the Bluetooth settings. After that it works great.
The problem is I'm always focused to activate AD2P manually first before I drive and forget that I have yet to start the car. So I have to start over. Going to settings > Bluetooth Settings etc. etc. ANNOYING!
So. I tried A2DP Toggle in combination with A2DP Auto Connect. Doesn't work.
Went searching for hours... But nothing. Think it has todo with the different BT Stack compared to other HTC's.
Still hoping for a solution.
@Ramsfan_Jim: which wireless transmitter are you using? I'm thinking of buying one to use w/my TP2. My factory head unit (VW Monsoon) doesn't support bluetooth.

I originally used a Venturi Mini - which had the advantage that it automatically set up handsfree & audio transmission as soon as I turned it on, but unfortunately it broke (repeatedly) with regular use.
I now use this one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Car-MP3-FM-Transmitter-Bluetooth-Handfree-w-2-Remotes_W0QQitemZ250445424484QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_3?hash=item3a4fb5e764&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A12%7C66%3A2%7C39%3A6%7C72%3A1683%7C293%3A7%7C294%3A25 which is much sturdier - and seems to have a stronger signal. However, I have to change the bluetooth settings on the TP2 to enable Stereo Audio each time I connect.
Warning - this is a much bigger device, so dependent on where your cigarette lighter is in the car, it may get in the way. I had to buy an extension lead to move it so I could use the gearstick!
Newsflash.
Found out how to auto connect to my bluetooth car radio with my TP2.
I have a radio channel bar (or whatever it's called in english) from one to six. There's a "pause/play" description small above the number five. I accidentally pressed it and it suddenly connected my phone through AD2P.
So just press play and it gets connected. So no software needed for me.
I don't use a BT car radio but I do have a stereo BT and a regular BT headset. The stereo BT has both Handsfree and A2DP profiles. But since I use the A2DP only, in my Kaiser under BT Services I unchecked the Handsfree profile and now my stereo BT autoconnects every time.
ChriX84: thanx, very interesting information, will try it tonight in my car !
Another interesting info (might be useful in terms of a .cab file preparation...): a "BT Mono" (i.e. not Stereo Audio (A2DP)) with a very low volume signal is obtained (in my car radio at least) when pressing the "Play" button on the media player (Core or WMP) while still having Stereo Audio option switched off under the BT settings.

This worked for me too. Was bugging me to the extent where I wasn't bothering streaming audio any more!
Nice tip
I always burned new mp3 cd's or connected my mp3player/phone through a aux-cable.
Bluetooth Stereo Music is a huge step forward for me. The ease of using one device for everything. Calling, playing music without any cables. Thank god for that invention.

What exactly is a radio channel bar? Do you mean like a media widget or radio widget?
Personally this a2dp bug is a deal breaker for me. I primarily use my device for audio streaming.

The bar with all the channel buttons. 1,2,3,4,5 etc.
Above or under those buttons there are little symbols with play/pause etc.
Hello all,
I have a new HTC Touch Pro 2 (Raphael) and I have spent the last 2 house trying to get the system audio and mic (not phone audio) to route to my bluetooth headset or bluetooth audio in my car hands free and I can't seam to get any working..
This is what I have tried:-
Bluemusic V2
audioroute V1.2.020 (via XDA developers) - this works great allowing system audio to go through the phone speaker but no bluetooth function.
Sound Destination Gotlandh (via XDA developers) - works on old HTC Hermes but not HTC Touch Pro 2. - also needs headset button to set route audio but no button on car handsfree.
BTaudio (via XDA developers) - BTAudioOff.exe BTAudioOn.exe files - this would be great but I get an error when try to run - Failed to enable BT audio.
Surely with this latest phone I can use Skype/an SIP VOIP application/media player with the bluetooth headset - anyone got it working?
Thank you
Which phone do you have? The Raphael isn't the TP2. The TP2 is the Rhodium found here.
Opps,
thanks mindfrost82 - I made a mistake, it is a HTC touch pro 2 - please can a moderator move this to the Rhodium forum?
I have the same desire - I use this regularly and it appears that the WIDCOMM stack is sufficiently different that the existing little program (BTAudioOn/Off and BTAudioToggle) no longer work.
Blargh - anyone have a solution?
THERE IS! Its built in - go to the Bluetooth config screen, go to SETTINGS/Advanced, and in there under "Audio" is an option to route system sounds to the handsfree.
DONE!
Note that it has a side effect - it leaves the connection open forever if there's an audio stream available to it, so be cautious or you can drain the hell out of your battery, plus you won't ring normally (it will ring through to the headset) until you turn it off.
Hahaha - I discovered this today as well by accident!
Well done Genesis3!
I have tried the bluetooth headset with Skype and SJphone VOIP application and the bluetooth headsets speaker and mic work, the only strange thing is for some reason the bluetooths mic sound is speeded up the other end when heard on both Skype, Fring and SJphone, it sounds like I have inhaled a helium baloon!!
As soon as I disable bluetooth headset and speak with the speakerphone, the sound heard the other end is normal again.
Any Ideas anyone?
I have tried many bluetooth audio router software to get this far and I wonder if some registry settings are messed up. (the standard bluetooth connection to a normal phone call is fine)
Same thing here. Cant use skype through my bluetooth. Audio is routed to rer speaker

I just wanted to say Thank You! I've been going around in circles trying different btaudio this btaudio that to find a working solution and was even willing to pay 30 bucks for a program that would do it! Suffice to say, this worked perfectly with mortplayer and the audio stream I wanted to monitor.
Audio thru Bluetooth
Sure this works but isn't there a quick button (hopefully from the taskbar) that can accomplish this without going thru the 6 screens to get this done? Something similiar to Audioroute that would work on a Touch Pro 2 would be ideal..
