How to A2DP Switch for bluetooth stereo headset - SOLVED POST 6

[timmymarsh]

Hi Guys,

Apols if this has been answered before, but i have searched:D

I use Sony bluetooth stereo headset for my music. But to get them to connect every time i have to do lots of clicks : start/settings/connections/bluetooth then right click on the headset and click set as wireless stereo.

This is a major pain in the butt but i lurv the headphones :-)

Is there any way to make a shortcut to the bluetooth section and i can then place this short cut on launcher of HTC home, it would save alot of clicks!!

I have tried to create a shortcut, but the settings/connections/bluetooth is not visible in file explorer, (yes show all files is switched on)

It would be IDEAL if possible to create a small program that i can then install that would do all of the above steps, then i could simply click the program on the laucher and hey presto my head phones connect:D I am not conversant in programming on WM..... yet, so would really appreciate help and willing to donate:D

Try this one

Ha Ha thanks, but that only takes me to the comm manager and only sensibly cuts me one click. Was looking really for something more, but thanks for the reply:D

Hey buddy try this!!! I'm not sure what you are using as an app that will create a button for you but this should do it for you . I think!!!!

I made a shortcut to bluetooth.
To do it create a file called bluetooth.lnk and put the following line of code in it:

23#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,23,1?\Windows\AppButtons\bluetooth.gif

I think it is best to put this shortcut into the programs directory in windows and then you can choose it from the dropdown lists.

But better than that is to use A2DPToggle. Which makes it one press only to enable bluetooth and one press to sync headset or unsync headset on the Today screen. Killer app if you have bluetooth headset.

Fantastic, thanks for the advice, the A2DPToggle is exactly what i need. I had found a way to use battery status as it has a2dp toggle on there, but it uses a tray icon which takes up too much today screen, hence the reason for putting it on launcher tab on HTC home.

I downloaded A2DPToggle and now have a toggle switch on my HTC home launcher tab so the pluggin on the today screen is not needed:D

Here is the link for anyone else : http://www.teksoftco.com/index.php?section=freeware

Also attached is a small cab file which switches a2dp off and on, meaning you dont need to have the plugin on the today screen as it provides a switch that is placed on the start menu and which can be placed on the HTC home launcher, many thanks to JKingGrim the developer!! Works a treat!!

Thanks for the switcha2dp app. This is exactly what I was looking for. Works like a charm with my Vogue running Manilla 2D!

Any chance of getting an icon for it, so it's not just the plain window icon? :D

With mine all I have to do is press the middle button on the Headphones and it automatically makes them the default sound device?

i still hav to turnb bluetooth on though!

Quick and stupid question - how do I actually go about creating a .lnk file on my Touch Diamond?

Thanks

Ed.

Why don't you use Home Screen ++ ?
It has a tray icon for bluetooth settings (on/off,A2DP,pair,settings) :)

[timmymarsh]

lol thanks for the reply, but home screen plus is a pain if your running manila and dont want to use a second today screen, your relying on a home plugin. Also home++ doesnt do the job of the a2dp switch.

The switch is very effective in that you can put a shortcut in the program laucher and its direct and effective... give it a try.:D

I don't know what the issue is, doesn't just pressing the play button on your A2DP headset automatically connect it to your phone?
