Centrafuse Handy How-To (deutsch)
Centrafuse Handy How-To (english)
| What can Centrafuse do with my phone? |
HANDSFREE
Centrafuse controls the handsfree profile on your
phone. Dialing, receiving calls, transfer of audio path, receiving
signal/battery status, etc, etc.
OBJECT
PUSH
Centrafuse
runs an OBEX server and thus can receive vcard and phonebook pushes from
other Bluetooth devices.
|
| How do I pair my phone with Centrafuse? |
To pair your phone properly to Centrafuse, Centrafuse must
be running.
The pairing can be initiated from either the phone, or
from the Centrafuse phone settings.
In either case, a pin code is
requested from the user on both the phone and the Centrafuse side.
Once paired, if 'Auto Connect' is set to true, Centrafuse will
automatically connect with your phone. |
| What are the “playback” and “recording” devices used for in
phone settings? |
The playback device is the soundcard that the Bluetooth
stack will use to play the audio received from the remote party (the
person on the other end of your phone call).
The recording device
is the soundcard AND the line-in which the Bluetooth stack will use
for recording local voice data (from microphone), and sending it to the
remote party. |
| My Bluetooth dongle isn't recognized, what do I do? |
The Bluetooth stack that ships with Centrafuse supports
many usb dongles and chipsets.
However, some chipsets, especially
new ones, will not work with the stack "out of the box". It's just a USB
transport, so most likely, it will still work with your dongle.
Just follow the simple steps in the link below, provided by one of
our users.

| "Bluetooth not found" |
If you're getting this message then it means that
the Bluetooth stack is not installed.
You MUST install the
Bluetooth stack that is provided with Centrafuse in order for the phone
functionality to work.
Since this Bluetooth stack is a custom build
specifically for Centrafuse, you cannot use another Bluetooth stack or
your own version of the BlueSoleil software. |
| "Bluetooth not Initialized" |
This means that the Bluetooth stack has not been or could
not be initialized.
This could be due to an error or due to
some other reason.
As always, reboot, and re-try running
Centrafuse.
If this is still happening, please collect a system
report once the error has appeared again.

| How can I import my vcards into Centrafuse? |
You can copy vcards to the "[mydocuments]\Bluetooth\Inbox"
folder. There will be a file in there already, called
‘phonebook.vcf’. This is the file Centrafuse uses to store its
contacts.
By manually dropping other .vcf files in,
Centrafuse will attempt to parse those vCards and add them to the
‘phonebook.vcf’ file. |
| My remote party hears themselves, or there is a bad echo on
the remote caller's line. |
This is a known issue.
Echo Cancelation / Noise
Reduction (ECNR) is THE major obstacle in the production of hands free
Bluetooth kits.
You may wonder why the car companies are able to
implement this so well. These companies spend thousands and
thousands of man hours perfecting the hands free feature. It's also
worth nothing that they only have to worry about 1 system, 1
Bluetooth chip, 1 audio subsystem, and 1 microphone.
Our Bluetooth
stack vendor is currently working on an even better
solution.

| Nothing is working for me! What do I do? |
Can’t get it to work? Don’t fret. Bluetooth is not the most
user friendly thing around.
Although Bluetooth has come a long way
in 5 years, there still are situations in which things just “don’t seem to
work”.
In some cases, maybe it just doesn’t work with that
particular system, with that particular dongle, those particular audio
drivers, etc.
In most cases, it's just a matter of configuring the
system properly. |
| Pairing is not working for me, what am I doing wrong? |
Remember: If you previously had the phone paired to
Centrafuse you must delete the pairing from BOTH sides: Centrafuse as well
as the phone.
It’s always smart to reboot both the phone and the
Bluetooth dongle (just restart your computer to do this) after removing
pairings and before re-pairing. |
| Centrafuse Bluetooth Tools |
cfbluetoothtools.zip
Right
click on the above file and select 'Save As'. Save this file to some
where that you will remember then extract this zip file to somewhere on
your hard drive. There are two command line utilities included in this
package:
DeviceEnum.exe
Will list the names of
all your sound devices installed on your system as the Bluetooth stack
sees them. This is used for debugging issues related to not being able to
hear handsfree audio, or remote calling parties not being able to hear
you.
BTTest.exe
A simple Bluetooth command line
application. Currently, we use this tool to have users check the remote
services available on their phone.
To list the remote services
installed on a phone:
- Start BTTest.exe from its extracted folder.
- Enter ‘3’ for the Profile Manager.
- Enter ‘5’ for HFP/HSP profile
- Enter ‘1’ for HFP AG service.
- Enter ‘whatever number represents your found phone’.
- The phone’s service list is displayed
- Enter ‘q’ to quit
- Enter ‘r’ a series of times to exit the application.
In
the list of services for your phone, the service name is phone dependent.
What you are looking at is the service class. Centrafuse supports
connecting to a Handsfree Audio Gateway, which i represented by Service
Class ID 0x111F.
If this service class is not listed, then
your phone does not support the handsfree profile.
|
| Centrafuse drops the hands free connection when the other
end picks up. |
If you are experiencing issues with Centrafuse dropping the
hands free connection and reverting back to the phones internal speakers
when placing a call, then turn off Auto Audio Transfer in the Phone
settings.
Having Auto Audio Transfer turned on means that the audio
stream is automatically transferred to the handset upon establishing a
connection with another phone. |
| Does Centrafuse support my phone? Does Centrafuse support
xxxx phone? |
Due to the enormous number of cell phones manufacturered in
the world currently, we have no feasable way to know if each an every one
is compatable with Centrafuse/BlueSoleil.
Your best bet is to check
for Hands Free Profile support (HFP) for the phone and to post on our
forums (http://forums.fluxmedia.net/) to
see if anyone else has had any luck with your particular phone in your
particular region. |
