Just out of curiosity:
Was thinking of getting a bluetooth caller ID clip like the Sony HBH-200 and also another bluetooth headset like maybe a jabra bt500?
Would the Universal be able to connect to both the headsets and work well?
Just out of curiosity, would like to be able to view the caller id number but use a different bluetooth headset to answer the phone.
Sounds like a lot of work, but I figure it's better than getting the BT800 where you have to look at the number and then put the headset on.
Well, if any of you out there has got 2 bluetooth headsets, would you mind trying it out?
Thanks.
I tried it last nite and it did not work as you expected. It was a great idea though. I was using a HBH-662 (Sony ericson) with a caller ID screen, and another BT headset. Only the second BT headset rings, and the HBH-662 did not respond.
I was thinking before the same idea, but I was expecting a watch (like Casio) that can display the Caller Name via BT. If anyone knows such product (watch) exists, I would love to know.
The Casio watch is a really good idea, but have you seen the size of the watch? It's humongous.

Yah....big watches.
However, came across a software that allows you to link to multiple Bluetooth devices (I think that's what it does).
Can somebody try and see if it'll work with 2 bluetooth headsets then?
There is a trial version of the software:

If anybody gets a chance to try it out please post the responses here.
Thanks.
Qtek 9000
UNI_QTEK_13077_176_10900_WWE rom
Headsets:
Motorola HT820
BT800
Paired both headsets to the device.
Both devices rang on receiving a call.
With Jet software, it was able to display caller ID.
Was not able to answer the call from the HT820
Didn't try answering from the BT800
HT820 was not able to Voice Command after Jet software installation
Will test it out some more tonight.
You could just get a nokia HS-12w that way you can see who is calling without removing your earpieces !!!
I'm just being vain.
Would like to use a stereo headset without wires and also have a caller ID unit just to view the caller. Was thinking of something like the Nokia that you mention to clip on my front pocket just to view who's calling.

hi,
in another thread this is being discussed. appearently this is a "feature" not a bug anyway it is not connected to a special bt headset, but to all bt headsets (afaik)
Well...
After extensive testing, I have realized that my dreams of being vain is not possible....at least until somebody starts selling just a bluetooth caller-id display only - like the watch.
Anybody out there know of a bluetooth caller-id diplayer only besides the big ass watch?
Anyway, here's how I tested it.
Bear in mind that this is what I wanted to do.
Since I have a Universal, pulling it out and then twisting the clamshell, takes too long and it's too cumbersome to do.
So I wanted a caller-id display to display the caller-id (name preferably) without opening the clamshell and answer the phone via a bluetooth stereo headset.
Figured I test out the theory that having 2 headsets, 1 with caller-id and one with stereo where I can view the caller-id on one and answer the phone on the other one.
Tried it and true enough as posted above, it doesn't work.
Until there's a new bluetooth caller-id device out there, l8r.
You can check the new product from Cardo Systems. It's more or less the thing you want. On piece with caller ID and the normal headset.

Here is my goal:
*****
Use my Cingular 8125 to listen to Windows Media Player through a stereo bluetooth headset.
*****
I have seen a lot of references to A2DP and many references to cab files, registry hacks etc. Is there one clear definitive way to accomplish this? All the instructions in one place? Would the sound from Windows Media Player be routed to the bluetooth device instead of coming out of the speakers like it does now? The bluetooth device works for phone fuctions but not for Windows Media Player.
Thank you
bluetooth
there are many ways of doing this the easy way is to find the buletooth audio toggle program. the other is to get a stereo headset and one of the new roms that support a2dp i like shogun's one best and flash your phone.
Woo Hoo i have fans, lol... all you really need is a bluetooth stereo headset and a2dp cab to install... then when you sync your stereo headset with the phone it will ask you if you want to use it as a stereo headset..
Thanks. How do I get and install the A2DP cab. Is is just one file involved or is a combination of a cab file, dll files and registry hacks that must be manually copied and applied? I am just looking for the most straight forward way of accomplishing this. I would also please like to get a clear answer on one of my original questions: With the A2DP cab installed and a stereo bluetooth headset, will the output from Windows Media Player automatically go to the headset instead of coming out of the built-in speakers?
here you go, just install this cab for a2dp... the other things you saw where improvement hacks, and those are only needed if you have choppy or skipping issues with your stereo headset, most commonly with the moto HT820
shogunmark, thank you very much! I can't wait to try it!
Absolutely Awesome Shogun!!!!
I just bought my HT820's today to take on a trip. I was pretty unhappy when I couldn't listen to my MP3's using my 8125. Then I checked out Howard's forums, which steered me here. The rest is history!!!!!
The sound quality with my unit is just about as good as with my wired stereo headset! I have yet to take a call, but heck, at least I've got my tunes!
Thanks again Shogun!!
Hey guys....I'm new to all this stuff. When you install the a2dp file, how do you get the windows media player to play through the BT stereo headphones? What steps do you have to go through?
I have the 8125 and have installed the A2DP cab. I deleted my partnership with my H700 bluetooth handfree, but I do not have an option to listen to stereo anything. I am guessing that the H700 does not work as a "stereo headset". Anyone else get this combo to work?!
Works for two seconds only !!
Hey Shotgun/other gurus !
I installed the cab, and viola !!! it worked !!!!
but only for 2 seconds, I have a nokia h200 headset, and a Cingular-8125.
I did the following ->
1) Installed the cab.
2.) Went to settings of the bluetooth, did a "Add device as head set"
3.) Synched up the bluetooth device.
4.) Pressed and held, the bluetooth button.
5.) This popped up, both the "Voice dialer" and the gave me background mp3.
6.) When the pop-up for voice dialing went off, the voice returned to the headset !
Can you please suggest something on this !
Now I know that it works ! seems I'm closer to reaping good songs, any suggestions/links you can give me would be GREAT !!!!
A2DP is for STEREO headsets, people!
Lots of confusion on this thread. AFAIK the H700 is NOT a stereo headset supporting the A2DP standard. Installing the A2DP cab isn't going to do a thing for you! You may as well uninstall it and save the memory.
If you want to pipe sound through your MONO bluetooth headset, use the BTAudio program. One place to find it is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=260666
Also, for the person that talked about the Nokia H200. What the heck is that? I did a Yahoo search and found no such device. In any case, I am assuming it is a mono bluetooth headset, in which case the program referenced above should work.
HTH
how do i go about downloading this zip file to my 8125?
thanks for the help
Hold stylus on the file (right click), select save as,
select a location, click save.
moto HT820 choppy and skipping
I install the cab fail for a2dp, but my moto HT820 stereo bluetooth headset is choppy and skipping. Is there a fix for this problem
Oh Yea
Thanks shogunmark that worked great and my new Bluespoon Spiders work great in every respect.
Using Jabra BT500 with 8125
I have an 8125 and am using a Jabra BT500v headset. I have installed BTaudio and have a shortcut on the today screen, When I hit the toggle icon, everything comes thru headset, for 1 call only. After that it goes back to the phone and I have to hit the toggle again. Any way to keep this on? New to this, but learning alot in this forum.
stereo thru my 8125 cingular phone
thanx! i have downloaded and installed the a2dp cab
i then paired the phone with the ht820 headset.
i now listen to all of my mp3 music in stereo and my bluetooth screen gives me the choice to check handsfree and stereo headset!
and to think i was getting ready to buy a phone that had a2dp built in.
you saved me a ton of money!
Wicked!!
Shogun, absolutely fantastic. iWing headset worked as a BT handsfree on my Wizard, now with new improved A2DP cab I can listen to all the music I have on my SD card.
Thanks.

yes, turn on flight mode.. lol
that almost sounds like a fault of the headset, i havent ever experienced that with my horrible knock off HT820's from ebay, but would be curious to see if other people with the Jabra BT500v have a similiar issue
So I have a 8525, very new to it. I am using sleuths latest WM6 ROM. I paired my plantronics bluetooth handsfree which supports both profiles "handsfree and headset" it paired as handsfree and works for calls as expected. But I have yet to figure out a way to pipe all audio to the headset or pair it as a headset. I can pair it as a headset on a PC, but not the 8525. I remember having this issue with my 2125 and having to get some software to allow this, I assumed with all the stereo bluetooth work and that this was a pocket pc and not a smartphone that this was not an issue any more.
I tried searching but so many posts come up for bluetooth headset or handsfree, not having much luck.
Which headset are you using?
I have the plantronics voyager 510, works fine as the handsfree with the phone and sleauth wm6 rom. Just trying to figure out the way to get the headset side to work so I can listen to audio books and podcasts.
I will keep searching, keywords get me results just going to have to keep sifting.
You need a headset with AD2P profile or your gonna need to get some hack to route all bt audio to a mono headset.
Is there such a hack? I have the Plantronics 520 bt headset which works really well with voice, but won't play any music. I've tried all the various cabs from this forum but none has worked. The "wireless stereo" option in the bt settings when I pair it to my 8525 is grayed out ... does this mean that the headset cannot do music at all? Even though I really like this unit, if that's true, I'll need to return it and find one that does.

I'm pretty sure pocket player supports mono bluetooth headsets. Bad thing is it costs $20. Good thing is you can try it free for 30 days to make sure it does work. Or you can goto amazon and pick up the Jabra BT620 headphones for under $40; they work great for me.
Well I'm pretty new to this stuff and was wondering if there was a bluetooth headset out there that will do what I want it to do and if so, what is the best one. I've got a AT&T Tilt running Duttys WM6.1 release and I also have voice command installed. Is there a BT headset out there that will allow me to listen to audio from music and videos and also act a a voice headset for the phone that will work with MS Voice command? Right now I just have a regular Jabra BT headset that works fine with the phone and voice command, but I would love to be able to have music played through the headst as I'm driving down the road and also have Tom Tom directions come through the ear piece.
Is what I'm asking for possible? If so what headset should I get.
Thanks in advance,
JMan

Hi JMan -- I just got a Tilt and made my first call today, so I'm really new! Seeing that I only occassionally can actually see the text on the phone, I am also looking at MS' Voice Command as a possible solution. While music would be nice, it's not a deal-breaker for me, but everything else you mentioned, is. Any gotchas by going to a different ROM along with Voice Command? Thanks.
Google BTAudio - it'll direct all sound to your headset, VC still works. Only gotcha, (at least with TCPMP) music doesn't stop on an incoming call or if you have notifications for email/txt, etc to your headset.
Is it possible, and how, to configure Nimbuzz (or Android) to use bluetooth headset for audio instead of the phone speaker and mic when using Skype call?

This would be nice but I'm afraid it doesn't work...
solution
I have N1 froyo stock rom and I make calls with nimbuzz through skype account using a bluetooth stereo headset. Any sound will go through your bluetooth stereo headset, I have two of them (car & home). The good thing using it in my car is the voice directions from navigation app goes thought it, speaker sound quality on N1 is horrible.
Now, if you have froyo device you also can install "Super BT Mono Froyo Free" from the market. This app route audio through bluetooth mono headset, but it's a trial version. You have 5 days free trial so you can try it and if it works for you then you can buy it.
Good lock.

Nomo, thanks for the answer. You pointed me in the right direction. Obviously the answer is simple: in order to use mono Bluetooth headset for listening audio other than phone call, on Android, that BT headset needs to support A2DP. One of those acronyms for which I thought "why would I need this weird four-letter thingy" when I bought my Plantronics 975
Now just to wait for aforementioned app to become mature enough…
