Wouldn't it be nice, I figured, to use my Prime as a VOIP phone. Wow, it works and for free using Google Voice and Sipdroid.
I'd like to use my Bluetooth headset (Jawbone ICON), but can't figure out how. Is this even possible on a non-cell tablet? It should be!

Yes,it is possible.
I use an Arctic P311 Bluetooth headset for VOIP, music and videos on my Prime. All that was required was to pair the headset and then everything just worked.
I only wish that was the case. My bluetooth headset is paired, but Skype and Sipdroid use the speaker/microphone.
Does anyone else have my problem with this?

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?
I've tried connecting my Plantronics Callisto Pro to my G Tab to use with sipdroid. It pairs but doesn't connects.
I also have a pair of Insignia Bluetooth Headphones that I've got connected but only using a2dp.
Also have bluetooth gps that doesn't connect but does pair. using googoo bluetooth gps app i'm able to use it.
I'm using VEGAn 5.1.
Is anyone else having these kinds of issues?
Mine works perfectly (TNT Lite). I have a set of Nokia BH-905 BT headphones (which is AWESOME by the way) and listen to both music and podcasts over mine without any trouble. I have to say though, I think the sound quality from my Galaxy S is better than from the Gtab.

It appears that several brands of headphones will work. But the issue is using it for both output AND input. I have yet to read anyone getting the input to work. Or, for that matter, getting anything to work that even ALLOWS input.
The quest continues!
im using a sony ps3 headset (the fat one, not the new slim) and i can get it to pair but not connect either
i would love to get this fixed as i use BT for all my music/audiobooks
I have this Plantronics Explorer 240, that I have synced to Streak (2.2.2).
When I am playing games, I cannot hear the audio through the BT headset.
Even the notifications are not heard through the headset.
but, when I am on a call, and I play games, or get a sms>
I get to hear all the audio through the headset!
Is this a bug or what?
Or, is there a way, that I can source all the sounds to my headset (all the time, not just during the call)?
Explorer 240 is not A2DP, right?
thanks,
Sony.
Navigation or music?
Navigation (voice) or music:
can I get any of this on my Plantronics 240?
Please help - I have a trip planned next weekend! and I need either OR (both )
Thanks,
Sony.
All:
Help please!
Kind people of Streakville
You won't get media audio from a BT headset without the A2DP profile. You need a headset that supports this. When you get game audio while in a call it isn't working properly, the audio from your music player or game app should mute when you get a call.

Yes, agree about the A2DP part,
but, I am taking a different clue from this-
The game media if it is playing over my BT Headset - we can do something to get it doing that other times too!
can you (others) confirm what happens in similar case on your non-A2DP BT headsets?
Thanks,
Sony.
There's an app that will do it... called Super BT Mono Froyo I think iswhat its called that will solve your problems.... I didn't use it for long because I soon bought an A2DP headset

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?
Is anyone facing issues getting sound to play from their bluetooth headset when paired with the Asus Transformer Prime? Have you been able to resolve it? I have been able to pair it without a problem but the sound doesn't stream. I'm on TW_9.4.2.15
So far, I've seen a few threads but no answers that have been confirmed. Any thoughts? Also, confirmation that this problem still exists would be helpful, thanks!

I am now on Virtuous Prime, but also had this working previously on stock .15. I have Motorola S9-HD Bluetooth headphones working. I have also gotten music audio to stream to my Plantronics m155, so it does work, but can be a little fiddly.
Process that works for me is as follows (and I know there is no particular reason for any of this, but it is what works so I do it this way).
1. Start Google Music, hit play so music starts, then pause the music.
2. Turn on the headphones and let them pair to Bluetooth.
3. Settings->Bluetooth, go to the headphones and and make sure you have both the Phone Audio and Media audio profiles checked (this is where MOST times the issue is on my TFP)
4. Press play on your headphones.
Again, no rhyme or reason why, but it does work for me this way.
Cheers,
Peter
I have the Samsung HS3500 and HS3000 and both work fine for streaming audio out of the Prime.
In general I just have to turn on the Prime's bluetooth, then turn on the headset I want to use (they look for connections when turned on, so if the tablet's bluetooth isn't already on they won't connect) and it connects after a few seconds and works perfectly.
I don't know if I am just getting lucky with the Prime's bluetooth but I haven't had any problems streaming content from the internet such as Netflix and listening to it with my bluetooth headsets.
If you are looking to just listen to music and video on your Prime you could give the HS300 a try, it isn't expensive:
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Stere...WK5E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1330989035&sr=8-1
However if you want a bluetooth that is easy to use while driving I would suggest the:
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Black..._1_2?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1330989270&sr=1-2
Both can be used to listen through headphones (the 3500 requires you to use the included headphones, or listen through the included adapter). The HS3000 can also be used for calls, since there is a mic next to where the headphone plugs in, however the 3500 is easier to use while driving.
Thanks for the suggestions! pbrauer I tried your workaround, and it didn't work out, but I learned something... I have no media audio profile, only the phone profile. I have been doing more research on the matter and it looks like it could be incompatibility between mono earpiece/headsets and android in general.
My headset is an i.Tech Clip II mini 606 mono headset, and it doesn't appear to have a2dp technology. Looking at what's posted on other android forums unrelated to the Transformer Prime, some have tried software such as BTmono and SuperMonoFroyo to reroute the audio feed. Unfortunately, no dice... I'll keep researching to see if I can find any solution - if I find a solution elsewhere, I'll make sure to post back here so it can help others.
Almightywhacko, I'm going to try and struggle with this for a bit longer since I just got out of university and would prefer to stay away from getting further in debt, at least until I get a job. But once I get a job, and if this issue persists, I might go for one of those, thanks!
I have Transformer TF300T and I have problems with my two stereo bluetooth headsets (Dell and Jabra). Headphones pair with no problems, but then there is no sound. Sometimes reset (turning off/on) helps, I also tried to hard reset the tablet - this helped too, but only temporarily. After some time of listening, sound disappears. And these are my BT headsets that I use all the time with my mobile phone, without any problems.
I have also noticed, that when there is a problem with a Bluetooth headset sound, and I try to display film (using MX Player), film stops for a while every one second. It looks like there is a heavy process in the background, that makes the film perform bad. When I turn off the Bluetooth (or I have a luck, and there IS sound in my BT headset), film is displayed perfectly well.
TF300T has Bluetooth 3.0 on board, my headsets are BT 2.x. Could this be a problem? (o.k., I do know, that BT 3.0 is compatible with 2.x, but still, this is life, and who knows ?)

SO GLAD to hear I'm not the only one with this problem! To date the best answer anyone can give me is: "not all brands of Bluetooth Headsets work on the Transformer Prime"- what???
My Jawbone Icon didn't work & I had it a year before I bought the TP. Somehow I lost the Icon so I bought the newer Jawbone Era, and it doesn't work either. It pairs just fine & I can hear sound but when using Google Voice /Talk, I can't speak into the BT mid and be heard.
Really sucks! My 2 year old Droid 2 phone has no problem with either BT headset. Very frustrating not to know why they don't work??
