Anyone try this yet? Besides TV-out, this is what I need/want the most in my next phone.
Mono Bluetooth (Heatset) works fine, there are a few niggles when connecting some devices, but I am using both Mono and Stereo bluetooth. The only problem I have is the inability of the Bluetooth stack to work with voice control s/w.
As an added bonus you can direct all phone audio to be output over Bluetooth if that helps.

Thanks, Gordon. I use a mono BT piece to listen to podcasts, etc. Strangely, I very rarely use the phone w/BT. Do you use BT Audio?

hi everyone. is it possible to listen to my windows media palyer mp3 and other audio in a bluetooth headset? i bought a BT headset and got it to wotrk on my xda2 for incoming and outgoing calls...but when i listen to my audio in windows mobile, the sound still comes out of the xda2...
i hope you guys have something for this...
thanks.
I have a PPC-6601 with the same issue. The platform apparently does not support "audio on demand" over bluetooth. There may be 3rd party software or a bluetooth stack tweak that fixes this but as of yet I have not found one. If it exists it is probably on this site, but I'm still searching.
Hopefully someone will post a fix.
This also causes voicecommand to not work over the bluetooth, which means that a wired headset is far superior to a bluetooth one on these phones. Hopefully it is not a hardware limitation.
good luck to us.

Its not a limitation... but the device should support AD2P profile... which is not still in there.. will will have to wait for it
Hey guys,
check out PDA2K_BroadcomCorp_BTUpdate.cab on this forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=14329
I believe this adds the AD2P and keyboard profiles to the phone. When I installed it on mine I saw a new profile for bluetooth high quality audio headphones. Unfortunately my bluetooth headset (Logitech mobile freedom) doesn't seem to support AD2P. I was hoping to get low quality audio on demand through the headset, not necessarily high quality audio. My goal is to get microsoft voice command to work over the bluetooth headset speaker and mic.
Let me know if you have any ideas for getting audio on demand over my bluetooth headset, and if you have a good set of bluetooth headphones that support AD2P, the file at the link above should get it working if you have the broadcomm/widcomm bluetooth stack.
Thanks for the link
Thanks for the link, will have to search for the update for PDA2k....
pda2k update
that file should work on any pda using the broadcomm bluetooth stack. it adds the high quality audio profile and keyboard profile.
i am looking for a way to get a headset profile to behave exactly like a wired headset. apparently this is not an option.
is there possibility to use cable headset like BT headset with AVRCP?
BT stereo headset are too big and not cheap.
I would like to control mediaplayer from headset
I do not need A2DP because I need only to listen audiobook, not music, so quality isn't so important.
Mono BT headset (I have jabra130) doesn't work with audio streaming on my Himalaya, and they doesn't support AVRCP profile.
any idea?
AVRCP is a bluetooth profile. If your headset is not bluetooth then it will not have AVRCP.
maybe something similair?

haven't met with any solution so far.. simply these devices haven't anything to control with excpept the radio waves.. it has only jack/etc. with these you cannot control anything.
Some headphones has an additional button which can be used to answer talk. Jack connection has additional place to use it. is it possible to catch pushing this button programmatically?
I'm not sure if it's a software or hardware problem, but Skype on my friend's Desire HD always route the audio to the earpiece rather than the headphone he plugged in. However my Nexus S doesn't have this problem. We are both running CM7 RC1. Does anyone know a solution to this?
Well, it turns out if a headset is used, Skype correctly routes the audio to the headset. However, using an ordinary stereo headphone doesn't work, only the notification audio from Skype goes to the headphone, but not the in-call audio. I wonder if it's an audio driver issue, Nexus S doesn't have this problem at all.
From what i understood, your headset will be used (with stereo) if it supports A2DP.
Else, some apps permit to redirect audio to most BT headsets, but in mono. Super BT Mono, Bluetooth Switcher, Choice Dialer, Bluetooth Audio Widget, and perhaps few others, seem to do it.
Does the Car Dock not work with a Bluetooth Earpieace or Speakerphone?
Of course the Motorola Car Dock works with a bluetooth earpiece and I can only assume it works with a BT speakerphone. I use my Atrix in the car dock with a Motorola H790 BT earpiece every day.
Why would you think otherwise? The car dock would be fairly useless, if it didn't work with BT devices in your car....
Because when I uae it through google navagation no commands go through the bluetooth I don't hear anything at all

While I don't have my car dock just yet, I think your issue may be with your headset. Do you happen to know the brand and model of your headset? If your Bluetooth headset is not "A2DP" compatible then you will not be able to stream music or navigation directions through it.
From Wikipedia:
"Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP)
This profile defines how high quality audio (stereo or mono) can be streamed from one device to another over a Bluetooth connection.[1] For example, music can be streamed from a mobile phone to a wireless headset or car audio or from a laptop/desktop to a wireless headset.
A2DP was initially used in conjunction with an intermediate Bluetooth transceiver that connects to a standard audio output jack, encodes the incoming audio to a Bluetooth-friendly format, and sends the signal wirelessly to Bluetooth headphones that decode and play the audio. Bluetooth headphones, especially the more advanced models, often come with a microphone and support for the Headset (HSP), Hands-Free (HFP) and Audio/Video Remote Control (AVRCP) profiles.
A2DP is designed to transfer a uni-directional 2-channel stereo audio stream, like music from an MP3 player, to a headset or car radio.[2] This profile relies on AVDTP and GAVDP. It includes mandatory support for the low-complexity SBC codec (not to be confused with Bluetooth's voice-signal codecs such as CVSDM), and supports optionally: MPEG-1 , MPEG-2, MPEG-4, AAC, and ATRAC, and is extensible to support manufacturer-defined codecs, such as apt-X. Some Bluetooth stacks enforce the SCMS-T digital rights management (DRM) scheme. In these cases, it is impossible to connect certain A2DP headphones for high quality audio."
I am using it with a bt speakerphone, cruiser II and the navigate commands come through the cruiser or the audio if I have the fm on.
I am sure this is not specific to the SGS3, but I swear this used to work with my S2.
My 2006 VW doesn't have an AUX input so I use one of the FM Transcievers. It works well.
But...I also use a bluetooth headset while driving.
What I want to happen is to be able to answer calls with my bluetooth headset. Right now while the FM thing is plugged into the headphone jack, the callers voice is sent over the headphone jack and on the stereo. It is as if my bluetooth headset is disabled while the headphone jack is used.
Is there any way to use the headphones to listen to music, but use the bluetooth headset for calls?
BTW, I am using PowerAmp.
Have you tried changing the order in which you connect the 2 devices. Try making sure you connect the transmitter before connecting the bluetooth headset. You may also need to edit the properties of the bluetooth headset and disable a2dp to prevent music from going to the headset. If all else fails, there should be a button during a call that you can use to switch between bluetooth, speakerphone, handset. Not ideal while driving, though.
One thing Android needs is a proper mixer control panel...

Actually the Headset button is lit up on the in call screen, as if the bluetooth headset is connected for the call. Unfortunately it is still routing through the headset/handset mic.
