Multiple BT devices

[copperwave]

This may sound dumb but I gotta ask. Having just migrated from a Moto v3x I am loving this all-in-one device. However, I keep hitting my head against WM5 / HTC inconsistencies and am looking for some steers in the right
directions...

I have multiple BT devices, from headsets, dongles to in-car handsfree gizmo's. My Moto would tell me which one was currently "active". AFAICT there is no equivalent "standard" indicator with WM5 - am I right? All I can glean is that the BT dialogue tells me what devices have been paired - not which one the audio will be mapped to...? If there is a 3rd party util that does this please let me know.

Off Topic #1: iGo 2006 - sounds like a good replacement / alternative to TT6 but can it be moved off the SD card and onto the micro-drive?

Off Topic #2: Does WM6 support external usb drives better than WM5? I can get usb memory sticks to be seen but can't seem to get my various 2.5" drives recognised. I even repartitioned one to just FAT (which allowed a max 2GB volume) but even this didn't work (and yes I had supplemental power to all devices).

Thanks

Actually, more than one BT device can be active at a time.

there is an reg edit floating around the will tell you what bluetooth devices are connected to the phone on the today screen. i will look for it.

FYI - dont' use the 8gb minidrive anymore than you have to. cause when it breaks its not such an easy fix. i would recommend only using it for movies nothing else put everything else on a 4gb or soon to be 8gb mini sd

hope this helps

Show Wireless Today item


By just adding following keys to the registry will get you a nice 'wireless' today item that show Network name/status, WiFi name/status as well as Bluetooth status. Confirmed to work on AKU2 ROMs
[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Wireless"]
"DLL"="netui.dll"
"Order"=dword:00000000
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
"Type"=dword:00000004

Cool - I like the cell provider & wifi info but.... :)

what I am really after is something that tells me what BT device/s are "active" - as opposed to just that BT is on or off.

Thanks for that reg hack, I had that by default on my Universal and was missing it on the Ameo....
Should it be added to the wiki reg hack section?
