Hello!
[Cenário]
I'm using Tasker + Autovoice + Authomation with micasaverde vera lite to do some home automation (control lights, amp, popcorn hour, etc...).
I know that Autovoice can be used with an external bluetooth headset and i wanna take advantage of this.
I want to have a single microphone in my living rom and speak to it from 2 to 3 meters away.
[Problem]
All my android devices microphones (nexus 7, samsung tab 3 7.0 and even my bq aquaris 5) cannot capture sound with such a distance.
[Question]
Does any one know a bluetooth microphone or device with an integrated microphone that can capture sound with a 3 meters radio?
Thanks

It has a low range... And it is not practical to use an headset at home.
I want a simple microphone that have a long range.

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

Hi, finally did you try the Bluetake? Did you found any solution or stereo headphones with headset working for you?
Thanks
hello, i use an new os xda mini s. i will use it with bluetooth-gps and tom tom navigator 5 in my car. can i also use an bt-headset at the same time to place a phonecall?
greets,
mikka
Sure, I do this all the time with my K-Jam, the external speaker will stop during a phone call. If you use BT toggle to direct gps voice prompts thorough your bt headset the call will still ring through and put the audio from the gps on hold until the call ends. I've hooked up an fm transmitter to the headphone jack and played gps voice prompts through the car stereo and they continue even if a call comes through the bt headset. Hope this answers your question.
Hi
Can anyone confirm that Sat Nav commands are streamed to a blue tooth speaker ?
I would like to use the Sat Nav on my phone but the in-built speaker isn't upto the job. A simple blue tooth speaker would be fine, if it works. . . .or are there any other alternatives.
Any help or recommendations would be most welcome.

Hi
I will test this at work today for you as i have bluetooth speakers there can also check an fm transmitter if you want to go down that route
I use a Venturi mini (http://www.myventuri.com/home.aspx ) and it stream BT sat commands, phone calls and even my .mp3 music to my car radio, separate or even together.....it's excellent, especially as it's powered from cigarette lighter socket
Thanks for this - I do like the look of the Venturi mini, and the usb charging function would be ideal, but I would prefer an independent speaker so that I can still use my cars radio/media player. What it does prove is that I can stream commands using A2DP to a bluetooth device.
I can confirm BT speaker output for two navigation softwares:
IGO8 and ALK Copilot.
Using a Blaupunkt car audio unit named "Hamburg MP68" with A2DP streaming.
Working quite well, the same as my BT stereo headphone, a Plantronics 590E.
If you connect a bluetooth headset/ a2dp device, all sounds should play over bluetooth, so it should work without any problems

Yes, but some devices, such as the Jabra BT3030 go into standby between commands and by the time it has come to life again, and received the audio half of the audio is missing, or you don't get any of it.
Well I'm going to try a Jabra SP700 and see if it works - I'll let you know.
My Jabra SP700 works fine with TomTom & streams music. I'd certainly recommend it.
Recently I purchased Spice M-9010.
I paired it to my Asus Zenfone 6 and installed BT Notirfier app also.
Now I can view notifications in M-9010.
But, It is paired as a bluetooth audio device.
So, I am unable to pair bluetooth headset to my Zenfone.
Then I tried to pair bluetooth headset to M-9010.
That is also seems not possible.
Now the options before me are
If I want notifications in M-9010, I have to use it's speaker and mic.
or use a wired headset.
Actually, I purchased it to overcome the difficulty of handling 6" device for calls.
Now, that became impossible.
Please, guide me to overcome this issue.
I think, if I can pair M-9010 with some other profile than audio, it might be possible.
how to daydream it.

[Q] Android (4.4) Car Radio + Samsung Galaxy Note 4 + BT headset => Microphone issue
Hi all,
I have bought this:
http://www.prezzipazzixte.com/sched...BLUETOOTH-WIFI-3G-GPS-BMW-E90-{b}-E91-{b}-E92
For which the integrated microphone has really bad quality.
I own a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (SGN4) and a Plantronics Explorer 210: http://www.plantronics.com/us/product/explorer-210
When I pair the Android Car Radio to my SGN4, I can clearly hear the other person on the car speaker but that person can not hear me because the integrated microphone of the Android Car Radio has bad quality.
The Android Car Radio does NOT have an external microphone port (it has a USB port though).
So, I would like to know if I can use the SGN4's microphone or the Bluetooth headset's microphone as audio input (disable the Android Car Radio's integrated microphone) and always use the car speakers ?
If yes, how should I configure/pair these 3 devices which has Bluetooth? Do I need to install any app? If yes on which device?
Many thanks in advance
