My Jabra Halo headset used to work flawlessly with firmwares up to KF1... Same with the wired headset and Skype.
It hasn't been working since, only the headset speakers work fine, however the microphone on the headset does not work anymore.
Can you guys check if you also have this problem or is there anyone, that successfully uses some Bluetooth headset with Skype on i9100?

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.

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 got in on the Samsung WEP470 deal at NewEgg to use with my G Tab. But in testing it, I've noticed that it will pair, no worries, but it won't connect.
My goal is to use it to replace the rubbish internal mic for skype calls when my daughter is traveling.
Any ideas? Does anyone have a BT earpiece that does connect and can work for calling?
Thanks!

I have Motorola S7HD stereo bluetooth headset and it pairs and works great with my G Tab running latest TnT Lite. I use them to listen to pandora, and watch tv/movies from my media server using plugplayer. I haven't tested yet for video conferencing, but it should work for that too. I'm too lazy to convert my Skype friends to oovoo or whatever it is, I'm hoping Skype will just finally add video to Android Skype soon.
Good luck.

Only A2DP Bluetooth
I have a Plantronics Blackbeat 903 which also works perfect for listening (through A2DP), but that's all I've been able to achieve. I mean, I can not make it work as audio input, just output. I guess g tab doesn't have the hands-free (HFP), or headset (HSP) Bluetooth profiles required to do that. So, even though I have Skype installed and I can make calls and listen via bluetooth, the built-in mic is still being used during the call instead of the Bluetooth headeset mic.
I've been googling around and still have found nothing about whether that functionality can be enabled. If you guys find something, let me know.
Anyone have BT headset/microphone combo that works?

I have a Rocketfish RF-MAB2 stereo headset that works for audio output but not microphone input (works ok on my blackberry tour). Just tried Sipdroid and while I could hear fine, audio was definitely going through the microphone on the G-Tablet ("sounds like you are under-water").
Bummer. I would like to be able to hear and talk through this set of headphone/microphone. My Emerson EM227 will pair but not connect. Is this an issue where the proper bluetooth stack isn't present?
G Tablet running VEGAn-TAB.
I need headset with microphone.
I borrowed a few headsets to test them out.
One USB headset worked but it was inconvenient since it was wired.
One Bluetooth headset worked only with the speakers, the microphone just would not work on the G Tab (it worked on the desktop).
Can you recommend a Bluetooth headset that just works with the setup?
I tried several SONY and Motorola BT headsets and all were working fine except when you disconnect BT you have to reboot to get audio routed back to speakers.
(No other remedy worked)

Did the microphone work in all these cases?
Or did you have to do something special to get it to work?
Please provide a few more details

Which Android release, which ROM (Vegan?), which application (sipDroid, sound recorder, etc), and did headset microphone work (as opposed to built-in mike)?
Appreciate your feedback.
Hi,
I have the same issue with the original ROM (3588). It looks like original firmware does not support Bluetooth headsets with microphone it just support Bluetooth headphones without microphone. Can some one help with it? Or any other custom ROM supports Bluetooth microphone?
Thanks in advance.
Hello, I have Jawbone prime BT headset and I tried pairing it with TP CM9 Alpha 2. I was able to pair them properly and I was able to see bluetooth icon on Skype but it seems I cannot use the headset for voice calls. Anyone managed to make this work?
