Novice to any type of Forum and not an expert either in electronics, yet looking for some support if I can conenct my i Tech V BT mono earphone for all type of sound output (GPS voice command for example) from my HTC softbank X01HT? The i Tech BT earphone works well for normal telephone calls as a handsfree device. It also worked as a head set (all type of sound directed to it) when paired to a Nokia N73. Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.

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?

I'm really not kidding.. )))

excerpt from above link said:
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.

Hi,
Has anyone tried the OMIZ headphones
http://www.blueunplugged.com/Products/OMIZ_Stereo_Bluetooth_MP3_Headset.aspx
Googling gave me the above solution for bluetooth headphones which can stream music from my XDA mini to the bluetooth headphones.
However I dont have any idea about what to look for when buying bluetooth headphones.
My requirements are
-- Head phones must recieve songs played by Windows media player on my XDA mini.
-- Head phones must have FM radio functionality
-- Head phones must have handsfree features to receive calls and stop music play during the call
Can any one suggest me a product. Can someone also tell the the technology features that I need to look for when buying product with the above requirements.
The head phones I got with my XDA mini are broken already. [/b]
I've tried the Zonet ZUB8100, which is basically the same as the OMIZ. Couldn't get them to pair with the Wizard in A2DP mode; they'd only show up as a handsfree device.
I've used the Zonet with the SX66 (Blue Angel); they were OK as stereo handphones (the Moto HS820 works much better, IMHO). The Zonet is the crappiest handsfree unit I've ever used; the noise cancellation is non-existent and the mic barely functions.
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.

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?
ok we all have our lovely toys and are all connected with cingulars awesome high speed internet. some of us are probly saving mins by using skype calls. well thats what i do any ways. i picked up a plantronics 855 stereo and mono bluetooth headset. in mono mode it also supports a2dp so it seemed like u can use it to do skype calls but turns out that a2dp doesnt turn on the mic, so ur dependent on the mic on the unit instead of the headset. does anyone know how to get a2dp and have the mic on too. skype calls are saving me a fortune but cant always have my ear up to my beautiful phone ((( people tend to stare at u when u got a umpc like device up to your ear)))

Yes, there is a problem with mic in stereo headsets. I have Jabra mono headset and another Jabra stereo one.
If I use my mono Jabra, I can use BT Audio to redirect all audio including mic to the headset. Unfortunatelly this does not work with my stereo Jabra (320s). If I try to use BT Audio while using Jabra 320s, something strange happens and the audio system gets crazy, it usualy does not transmit any audio or gets stucked completly. That is why, if I have my Jabra 320s on, I simply use it as audio in, and the standard mic in X7500 for my VoIP. It works well and prevents against the echo effect. The mic in X7500 is very good, so I can keep it in normall distance of about 50 cm from my face. I use Aget phone for my VoIP, but it works with SJPhone as well.
Edit:
I have made my Jabra 320s (stereo) to provide mic in VoIP. I have unclicked the "Wireless Stereo" option in Bluoetooth settings og the headset. After this BT Audio works well and does not create any problems.
Now the only issue I have is to find some software which could work like BT Audio but from command line. I use Aget phone which can be set to start any software with command line, just before and after the call. This could be easily used to send audio with mic to BL headset just before the call and then return it to standard settings after the call.
Any clues...?
I've been searching here and eleswhere and can't find a answer so I finally decided to ask. If I posted this in the wrong forum I'm sorry, but I have a SGP5 so I figured this would be the place to start.
I have a app that I can run on my SGP5 that controls the functions of a communications radio (Ham Radio) over the Bluetooth serial protocol. What I need is a way to get the audio from the radio to the speakers on the SGP5. I do have a BT A2DP clip-on headset (built in mic & plug in earbuds) on order. From what I understand, the Android system only allows one mic/spk combination (internal, plug-in, bluetooth) to be used at a time. What I need is to route the radio audio into the headset mic, over the paired/connected bluetooth link, to the SGP5, and have it heard out the internal speakers. And the reverse, SGP5 mic to headset speaker. Not finding anyone doing something like this (using for remote mic pickup or as a baby Monitor for example) makes me think that it can't be done.
So my question is: Is this a Software (app) issue, a Firmware (rooting) issue, or is it set in stone in hardware?
Thanks for any answers/suggestions.
George
