Auto Connect Stereo Headset

[SHC]

I had a |Plantronics bluetooth headset which connected as soon as it was turned on. I now have an iTech S35 Bluetooth stereo headset. This won't automatically connect. I have to go through all the menus to select as wireless stereo and handsfree - a total of 9 taps!
Not sure if this is the fault of my device or the headset.
Anyone know how to get them to connect automatically?

happens to me too although i have different make of headsets... dunno the cause either what i do is delete the partnerships and reestablish them. I do this everytime I get the iffy behavior. so it's no big deal.

I have the same problem with my jabra BT620s headset. It connects it self as a Bluetooth handsfree and can use voice dialing, but It doesn't connect automatically as a wireless headset. I have to go to Wireless Manager and set it there...

Any way to make it automatically... or at least with a use of a simple click?

hmmm... known issue on the BT620s, however the fact that the iTech clip is also affected is new to me. Quite frankly, I'd never asked.

There are several headsets that don't have the issue, but its about 50/50.

I've been having a similar problem with Lubix NC1s (btw, had the problem on my MDA too).

Until I know a permanent fix, I've used iLauncher to place a Bluetooth icon on the System Tray, so at least I can get to the device profile in 2 clicks.

How did you get to the shortcut - I couldnt find which programme / file to select?

This is using iLauncher from SBSH:

Under Settings>Shortcuts you can select "* Shell Tray Tab *" as your tab, then "Add" Bluetooth from "Cpl Applets".

One click opens Bluetooth Settings, then click on Devices.

Ah Ha! Done it, Thank you.
I often wondered how you got shortcuts on the bottom tray!
thanks

With the iTech you have to press the MFB buttton (the flashy one) once it is turned on to connect it. Bloody stupid I know. I don't turn it on to watch the light flash, I turn it on to connect it to my device.

Hi-I tried this with a trinity and itech and a single press of the button just activates voice dial then disconnects. Any ideas?

Sorry just re-read, I have an R35, thought you did too. You could try the Bluetooth audio routing program from below, there's a program & a separate today screen plugin version:

Not sure if it'll work or what the quality may be like but its worth a stab.

For those that have a Tytn and Blueant X5 (with the latest firmware)

- turn on bluetooth on tytn and the X5
- quick-press volume up and down buttons -> Done (you might have to have your bluetooth in discoverable mode -> not sure)

BTW - Blueant X5 are fantastic - I have had it for over a year; and now about 5 of my work colleagues bought them too.

I have an iTech S38 and it works the same with the MFB button. If it does not work for you (ie when you press it you just get voice command) then I think it's a rom issue, not the headset itself. Ie, the bluetooth stack is not recognising the request to connect from the headset.

Try A2DPToggle

Can also be made to work with one button press using mortscript.
