"Device Not Ready" in WMP when call comes in..

[weav2k4]

I get the "Device Not Ready" popup in Media Player when a call comes in and switches over to my BT headset. It is frustrating to constantly have to clear the popup and try to yet again seek to where the hell I was on a podcast when the call came in! Is there a fix for this or is it just a "feature" of WMP and/or WinMo 6.1? I am hoping someone has a magic reg setting to make WMP behave on audio transfers to and from BT.

I have MSVC working fine via my Plantronics Voyager 510 and just want my music or podcast to pause when a call comes in then switch to my BT for the call duration then resume playing via speaker after the call is done.. is this asking too much?

This happens with every ROM I've flashed.. (although I only have flashed Dutty's last 4 releases). So, I am thinking others have it happen and live with it or I am just not tweaking my tilt properly. And, yes, I do a hard reset after every flash.. and everything else works fine.

I've searched but can't find if there is a solution to this. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks..

With no replies on my post.. can anyone just confirm that this happens to them as well? I would think at least some of the xda peeps would have the phone playing a tune or podcast between calls. Does your phone switch audio without the "Device is not ready" error?

Just trying to see if it's only me...

Thanks.

I listen to MP3s (not WMP but Pocket Player or S2P) all the time while my phone is connected to my car's bluetooth handsfree system. I have never once observed a "device not ready" error pop-up when a phone call arrives. The music pauses and the handsfree takes over and starts ringing.

Might want to look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2083364 as it seems that some people are seeing the same problem as you.

Rumball,

Thanks for your post. I guess it might be my bluetooth giving me the problem then. I've been needing a reason to buy a new z9..:D so hopefully it will behave better since it's BT 2.0.

Thanks again for letting me know it works the way I imagined it should!
