I upgrded my imate to 2.06wwe.
I also patched my registry key for the handsfree profile to become active.
I paired my Jabra BT250 headset to the imate, which assigned it the handsfree profile.
I even get the handsfree icon, whenever the imate discover the Jabra headset.
So please can anyone tell me, why I see no difference between headset and handsfree profile.
I suppose to have options such as redial directly from the headset, but it just doesn't work.
Do you think something is wrong?
Maybe something in the configuration?

try to use handsfree instead of headset hardware...

hmmm.. let's think... handfree hardware... ???
I am already using handsfree hardware.
Both imate & Jabra support and enabled for handsfree.

Hi amir,
did you say, you used headset??

We are joking right? :wink:
There is no hardware in the world called "handsfree". this is a feature.
The Jabra BT250 headset, support both headset AND handsfree profiles.
Check here. Look under "Supported Bluetooth profiles".
i would say, that headset is a small earpiece with mike in it + bluetooth. however handsfree is a set of separate speaker, mike, it has couple of buttons and it is used mainly in car.
my headset has one button for picking or hanging up phonecalls + volume up/down.
i would say, that every handsfree has two buttons for calls. separate green and red button.
that makes difference for me...
my headset doesn't support handsfree. maybe because it is a headset. not a handsfree.
i don't know about yours...
...so what was the reg hack, you did, to enable handsfree?
do you think, that the problem could be there then?
buzz
I'm really not kidding.. )))

Bluetooth Definition:
Chip technology enabling seamless voice and data connections between a wide range of Bluetooth devices through short-range (typically less than 30 feet) digital two-way radio transmissions. Bluetooth version 1.1 is an open specification for short-range wireless communications of data and voice between both mobile and stationary devices. Bluetooth specifies how cell-phones, WIDs, computers and PDAs interconnect with each other, & with office or home phones that are Bluetooth enabled. Bluetooth is a technology, and not a brand. This makes it possible to mix and match virtually any Bluetooth technology device.
The only concern that arises is to determine if the Bluetooth items use the same "profile" to wirelessly communicate with each other, such as "HFR (hands free)", "HS (headset) ", "DUN (Dial-up Networking)", profiles commonly available in many current production cell-phones. An example of alternate Bluetooth profiles available are "FTP (File Transfer Protocol)", "FP (Fax)", "SAP (SIM)", "LAN (Local Area Network)", "SP (Synchronization)", and many Video & Audio Bluetooth profiles.
Many Bluetooth products only support one profile.
Most current production Bluetooth headsets handle the "headset" profile, but no other profile.
Car kits generally support ONLY the "hands-free" profile, and a few (especially Parrot car kits) support "hands-free", "headset", & "DUN" profiles.
The Motorola Bluetooth USB Data unit uses a "DUN" profile.

I've spent many a frustrated hour trying to find a way to use my Bluetake I-Phono bluetooth headphones without that damn dongle and at long last, I've found a solution!
"Simply" install the WM2003SE upgrade by toenailed/xda2jojo (which is pretty bloomin impressive, BTW) and then install the HP iPAQ Bluetooth Stereo Headphones Driver Update.
This adds a "High Quality Audio setup" option to the Broadcom bluetooth implementation within the WM2003SE upgrade. Not quite A2DP but pretty damn close. Fidelity, volume, bass are pretty good, particularly considering its a wireless connection, but there are occasional "pops" and "squeaks" to contend with. The connection is so sensitive that I'm having to maintain line-of-sight between my XDAII and the right-hand (BT connected) side of the headphones. I can move several yards away but only as long as I keep the LOS, otherwise the connection degrades significantly.
It's far from perfect but its not a bad compromise until someone cracks A2DP on the XDA (something which I would happily pay £50 to achieve, if any interested party is listening).
Cheers,
Ged.
Headset Update
I've been playing around with bluetooth headset settings and I can't make it work under either BT stack.
BLUETOOTH HEADSET
Hi there mate I have V3 BTHS I tried using broadcom plus the upgrade but its not working...not sure though if I configure it correctly ...When i checked the connection on the bluetooth MAnager/Active Connection it shows an Icon in the Outgoing Connection and it is connected but i dont hear any sounds on my bt headset. What could be the problem? BTW my BT works on the orig bluetooth progy but only on the calls not in music players and sound notification. Hope you can help me. Thanks
As I understand it, you can use a BT headset for calls or BT headphones for music, but not both. My headphones are supposed to work in headset mode but they don't... for the moment at least.
Sorry I can't help further mate.
I understand "High Quality Audio setup" is A2DP. There is nothing more to achieve.

Okay I have the Bluetake i-PHONO on order. Can someone please tell me if it's possible to use them as stereo headphones and a headset at the same time? When you add the Bluetake to your BT setup as high-quality audio, can you add it at the same time as a BT headset? Does it show up as two icons in the BT manager? The Bluetake is supposed to automatically switch between A2DP and headset/handsfree profile... What I want is to be listening to music using media player over A2DP, then hit the button on the Bluetake and pick up a call. Isn't this the way it's supposed to work?
BLUETOOTH HEADSET
oh ok now it makes sense hehe. thanks PinkySlayer. Iphono is bit expensive though its almost a price of a mini ipod...
Expensive they may be, MTX, but I HATE cables, and what's the point in carrying around an MP3 player when you already have one in the form of an XDA (albeit with a few 1GB SD cards in tow)!? I'm working towards a personal nirvana of "single music source, multiple outputs"; I have an FM transmitter wired up to my GPS enabled car cradle so both my WMA and TomTom audio come out of my car speakers; I have wireless Sennheiser headphones for the house and now and now I have wireless BT headphones for mobile use.
I didn't think that was the case, surur. It certainly isn't in practican terms in that the Bluetake phones work great with their own BT dongle (which truly supports A2DP) but with the "High Quality Audio setup", things arn't so rosy.
That's what the Bluetake phones are designed to do, trhuseby, but I think the only way to achieve that at the moment is to use the BT dongle for music playback and then connect your XDA direct to the phones in headset mode. I believe that the phones would then automatically swap from music playback to headset mode when a call comes in, but you have to use that bloody dongle.
The settings for "High Quality Audio setup" do allow the (de)selection of both audio and headset connections but alas, this does not make it work.
BT HEADPHONE
yeah i hear you Pinkyslayer...I really like to have a bt headphone i'm just looking for a cheaper headphone. i was thinking on buying a HP or Toshiba headphones

Can't see why not.

Hi, finally did you try the Bluetake? Did you found any solution or stereo headphones with headset working for you?
Thanks
Can you, for example, simultaneously have a BT Headset and BT Handsfree with both working properly. Currently the mic. doesn't work on Handsfree (and it should work).
Does it have an improved Windows BT implementation or is it based on Widcomm?
Thanks
Yes, I have just tested it for you. I have paired a BT GPS, a Mr Handsfree Headset and a handsfree carkit. All the devices work fine. Alse all the functionality of my carkit is working.
Thanks,
Does it have a more organised Bluetooth Manager? On the XDA II (WM2003) it is very inadequate. The microphone is turned off in the handsfree profile for example and you can only define one headset amd one handfree device.

hi all
i've read that there is the possibility to listen to ttn5's voice in BT headset while himalaya is paired with gps BT receiver.
I even read that, making this system upgrading, headset's functions are disabled.
is it true?
is there the possibility to listen to ttn5's voice while bt receiver is paired AND mantain headset/handsfree's functions?
I've wm2003 se 2.06 installed
thanks all
it is with this headset and others which use the same tech
http://www.bluetake.com/products/BT420EX.htm
with the dongle
otherwise i've also heard that using the other bluetooth stack to enable A2DP (normal sound over bluetooth) dont want to work with the normal phone headset profile

yes, i've heard it too... well.. i would pair a SonyEricsson HBH-200 'cause it's the only one i can wear under the helmet
thx
What do you recommend for a reasonable BT headset that I can use in the car as a handsfree device and also play music to an acceptable quality (subjective I know)? Ideally stereo.
Also, can you get a BT widget that plus into a hi fi that can receive steroe broadcast over BT from the Hermes?
I'm looking at the Nokia HS-12W for the same purpose (music + handsfree). An alternative could be the SE HBH-970 (or something like that, also a stereo headset with lcd), but I prefer the Nokia as I already have chargers to match and like the radio option. The SE does allow listing to audio from one bluetooth music device, while still allowing for handsfree operation (the Nokia requires both the music and the telephone to be the same device).
There is a software by jetwaremobile that should allow one to even see the caller name on the lcd display of the headset.
For the BT widget, I think you are looking for something like the Nokia AD-42w. It has both line inputs and line outputs, and can stream music to/from a bluetooth device. IIRC, Motorola also has something similar to the Nokia AD-42w, but I'm not sure.
(I'm thinking of getting this as well, to be able to use the Nokia HS-12w as a pair of regular wireless headphones - but I'm not sure about the quality).
There also is the HTC-S100 (bluetooth stereo headset, no lcd display), which you could use. It has a standard 3.5mm jack, so it should be no problem connecting this even to a line input of a hifi system.
I haven't tested any of the above equipment, so I cannot comment on the quality, nor on the compatibility of the hardware.
Jörg
That's great. Thanks for the response. I'll check out the devices you mention
presumably the headset devices have a mic for the call handling? is it in the control/lcd part of the device?
Good day.
In my car I have a bluetooth handsfree kit (Sony Ericsson HCB-400) with microphone and conversation through car stereo. It says in the instruction manual for the HCB-400 it supports both handsfree profile and headset profile.
Does this mean I can use the handsfree system to broadcast music over the car speakers through bluetooth?
In that case, how am I able to change the connection profile for the HCB-400 on my phone? Only option I get is "use for phone audio", wich is checked. Didn't do any difference.
Any ideas?
Not sure if it helps, but just pairded the Hero today with my newly purchased Bluetooth Car stereo...
After pairing etc. On starting Bluetooth on Hero, it automatically connects to stero and plays tunes etc. (provided I swtich to the correct Source on the Stereo). If I then try and make a call from the Hero, the Stereo automatically changes mode and works in Phone Mode. On ending the call it goes back to audeo mode.
So in principle, it can be handled seamlessly, but can't say for your own instance.
Easiest option is to just try it and see what happens...

Zuber:
Thank you for the reply!
I understand that you have a car stereo with integrated BT handsfree? In my case, a handsfree kit is mounted on top of the original stereo in my -03 Nissan Micra. Do you have any more options than I do if you long-press the actual BT connection in settings?
Hi,
Yes the stereo itself has bluetooth support...
On the Hero, if I go to bluetooth settings and Long Tap on the actual device connection itself, then I get to a screen that shows both audio and phone profiles with seperate selectable tick boxes.
Both were already ticked...
