I can confirm that Bluetooth Dial-Up Networking (DUN) works after the 2.1 update using PDANet through my Sony VAIO on the Rogers Network.. yes! now I can fully take advantage of my 6GB data plan without wires!
Also, the PhoneBook Access Profile (PBAP) as well as pulling your recent calls list (not sure what profile that uses) works fine with Android 2.1 using my SE HBH-DS980 headset.
However, on an incoming call, the phone doesn't push the CallerID tag to the bluetooth device. The same goes for the MusicID tag when playing music. From my intuition, I don't think these 2 features require a specific bluetooth profile but will rather need to be implemented in the music or dialer applications to function. I'm not sure why SE is leaving this out on the 2.1 update as it is a huge selling feature for their MW600 headset. All SE phones powered by Symbian or part of the Walkman branding all had these features right out of the box, and the X1 running Windows Mobile had it as a 3rd party support (ie. smartwatchm). It would be nice if a developer can add these features for Android since SE won't.
It also doesn't have the Service Discovery Application Profile (SDAP) to be able to provide the list of available bluetooth services to the master device. This was tested using my SE X1a. So to actually find out what services are supported, you'll have to find out the hard way.
Can anyone tell me what other bluetooth profiles are available now?
Summary:
Confirmed Supported Bluetooth Profiles in 2.1 Update:
-Hands-free Profile (HFP)
-Headset Profile (HSP)
-Object Push Profile (OPP)

Ringtone over bluetooth
Hi there. i think this is a problem shared by many users:
i habe a Bluetooth Handfree, in this case, FIAT Blue&ME. When i connect for example a Nokia phone and the phone rings, the ring is transfered to the audio systems of the hands free. With my X10mini i hear only the default RING RING from the hands free :-(
Is there anyway to enable handfree transfer of the ringtone in Adroid?
there are persons that describe the same problem but not for android: for example at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=634494
By the way also SMS messages cannot be transfered to my Hands free Blue&Me. Anyone have idea how to fix this?
I think a new application to solve ringtone transfer to handsfree would help ALOT of users.
Regards and thanks..
OpenWatch is an app that is downloadable from the Market that allows bluetooth devices (like SE MBW-200 Bluetooth watch with lcd screen) to receive call/SMS/alerts/music player controls/etc. It supports a couple of other devices as well.

The "Audio Video Remote Control Profile (AVCRP)" is still at v1.0. We need a minimum of v1.3 to display track information on MW600.. :-(
Does anyone know or can could confirm whether or not the Prime's blueooth supports Serial Port Profile?
I am looking to purchase the a Pioneer AVIC-X940BT
pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/GPS-Navigation/AVIC-X940BT
and it has builit-in wireless app control for Android devices via Bluetooth Serial Port Profile.
---------------
Here is a snippet directly from Pioneer's site.
Android Device Connectivity
Pioneer’s newest in-dash navigation models now support wireless app control via the Bluetooth Serial Port Profile (SPP) for select Android™ devices, enabling audio playback with app display and control through the AVIC touchscreen displays. The following apps are enabled using these new features:
Pandora®internet radio

Both Pandora enabled units display the currently playing album, artist and song text information, display current song album art and the user interface features full control of station selection, track info, and thumbs-up and thumbs-down feedback options through the touchscreen of the AVIC systems.
Aha Radio®
With the free Aha Radio app, Android version available Spring ‘12, users can listen to the latest traffic conditions on their current or planned road, listen to Facebook and Twitter updates, access hundreds of podcasts and other services such as the “Hungry” and “Coffee” stations, which deliver real-time vicinity search results and directions to preferred restaurant categories listed on Yelp. Aha Radio offers more than 100 content and podcast stations that can be conveniently accessed and controlled directly on the display of the Pioneer system.
Thanks,
Hi all,
I do have an unused Xperia X8 which would perfectly fit as an extension for my HiFi.
Now I am searching for a software which makes this possible
The X8 should be plugged to the HiFi using a normal stereo jack and should provide the music to the HiFi.
The music should be stored on a network share or/and on the MicroSD card - and in some rare cases on some cloud service.
To find a player which is supporting these things is not a problem - but I do not want to get up every now and then to change music or to skip to the next track or change my playlist.
We do have other Android devices lying around as well incl. a tablet
So is there a way to control another Android Device which acts as a music player - from another Android device or PC to change music, to skip songs and so on ?!
If you are on PC - that is easy - you get a Web Interface for nearly every piece of software but hey - what about the android eco system - how they play together ?!
no ideas to get my old unused android usable again as audio hub for my hifi ?!
thanks
is there an app available that will show what commands/data your phone is transmitting/receiving over bluetooth (sort of like blueTerm, but with more bluetooth profiles)
it factors into a project I'm working on where I am trying to use an arduino/microcontroller (havent decided which will be better) to translate data from the headunit in my car to my phone using AVRCP (while also streaming to the headunit using A2DP), I would just like to better understand whats being sent so that I can more accurately code the PIC/ARD to convert from the headunits systems to AVRCP
any information will be helpful:good:
I have an 2006 audi a6, apparently it's not possible to stream music via bluetooth without buying expensive hardware but it does function as a handsfree kit. I was wondering if there already exists or someone can create an app which can use the handsfree protocol and use it to stream music instead of just phone calls
