Connecting a Bluetooth headset or car kit

You can listen to music over an Bluetooth stereo headset, or have hands-free conversations using a compatible Bluetooth headset or car kit. It’s the same procedure to set up stereo audio and hands-free.

For you to listen to music with your headset or car kit, the headset or car kit must support the A2DP Bluetooth profile.

Turn on the headset and put it in “pairing” mode. Refer to the instructions that came with the headset to find out how.

1.Press HOME > MENU, and then tap Settings > Wireless & networks > Bluetooth settings.

2.If Bluetooth is not switched on, tap the Bluetooth check box to switch it on.

3.Tap Scan for devices. Your phone will start to scan for Bluetooth devices within range.

4.When you see the name of your headset displayed in the Bluetooth devices section, tap the name. Your phone then automatically tries to pair with the headset.

5.If automatic pairing fails, enter the passcode supplied with your headset.

The pairing and connection status is displayed below the hands-free headset or car kit name in the Bluetooth devices section. When the Bluetooth headset or car kit is connected to your phone, the Bluetooth connected icon is displayed in the status bar. Depending on the type of headset or car kit you have connected, you can then start using the headset or car kit to listen to music and/or make and receive phone calls.

Reconnecting a headset or car kit

When you have paired a headset with your phone, you should be able to reconnect it automatically by turning on Bluetooth on your phone, and then turning on the headset. However, sometimes you will need to reconnect manually, for example if you have been using your headset with another Bluetooth device.

1.Put the headset in pairing mode.

2.On your phone, press HOME > MENU, and then tap Settings > Wireless & networks > Bluetooth settings.

3.If Bluetooth is not switched on, tap the Bluetooth check box to switch it on.

4.Tap the headset’s name in the Bluetooth devices section.

5.If prompted to enter a passcode, try 0000 or 1234, or consult the headset/car kit documentation to find the passcode.

If you still cannot reconnect to the headset or car kit, follow the instructions in “Unpairing from a Bluetooth device” in this chapter, and then follow the instructions under “Connecting a Bluetooth headset or car kit” above.

Aria specifications

The HTC Aria, released in June 2010, was a compact smartphone that marked HTC's entry into the mid-range Android market. Its sleek design and feature set made it an appealing choice for users looking for a balance between functionality and portability.

One of the standout features of the HTC Aria was its 3.2-inch capacitive touchscreen display, which offered a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels. Though not groundbreaking by today’s standards, the screen provided vibrant colors and reasonable responsiveness for its time, enhancing the overall user experience. The Aria’s design was characterized by its lightweight and compact form, making it easy to hold and operate with one hand.

Under the hood, the Aria was powered by a Qualcomm MSM7227 processor running at 600 MHz, paired with 384 MB of RAM. This setup allowed for smooth navigation through Android 2.1 Eclair, the operating system it initially shipped with. HTC's Sense UI overlay provided a visually appealing and user-friendly interface, adding widgets and customizable home screens that enhanced user interaction.

The device featured a 5-megapixel rear camera capable of capturing decent photos, a notable inclusion for a smartphone at its price point. It lacked a front-facing camera, which was not uncommon at the time, but the rear camera did support features like autofocus and LED flash.

In terms of connectivity, the HTC Aria supported 3G, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 2.1, ensuring users could easily access the internet and connect to other devices. The inclusion of GPS further enriched the user experience, allowing for improved navigation and location-based services.

With a modest internal storage of 512 MB, the Aria also supported microSD cards, enabling users to expand their storage capacity significantly. The device came with a 1200 mAh battery, which provided a reasonable battery life, balancing performance and longevity for daily use.

Overall, the HTC Aria served as a bridge for users entering the smartphone world. Its blend of practical features, a customizable interface, and a compact design made it a solid choice for those seeking a user-friendly Android device without the complexity or expense of high-end smartphones.
