Hello together,
because I want to work with Voice-Dial controlled from a BT-Headset, I try to find a solution for upgrading the BT-stack.
Also would this allow to use BT-Headset for music and video....(Mediaplayer,etc.)
Did anyone have an idea in which way we can integrate a headset-profil??
May be, anyone can post the related files and registry-entries from a other device, that uses Widcomm/Broadcom-Stack.
Thanx
Delfin
Handsfree - would be nice for the BMW Car BT as well
Yes, the handsfree Profile in the MDA III is missing and it hurts badly. I can't make it work with my BMW BT Carkit.
Does anyone know how to integrate Handsfree into the MDA III?
I alos would like to see this get fixed.
Just before this site had technical difficulties and lost several weeks worth of posts, there was a thread on this very topic.
It seem to me that progress was being made, but the current BT Profile only allows for Phone audio, not audio from device.
Even the not so good iPAQ 6315 had audion from device support.
I suppose first that I-Mate should fix the BT Profile all together, which is unstable on my PDA2K.
Just to clear this up....
The PDA2K does have handsfree profile. The profile only supports handsfree for phone.
What everyone is asking about is the ability to transfer audio from device to a bluetooth device (headset etc.). Is this profile called handsfree or something else, have read posts where someone mentioned it was called a different profile name?

...Hmmmm....
In a recent online conversation with a "club i-mate" tech rep- I asked about the so-called "Hands Free" profile they advertise the PDA2K as being compliant with....
ME: "My other bluetooth phone would allow me to simply speak the contacts name via my wireless headset and the phone would dial.....With my PDA2K I have to actually use the phone to dial out.......This is not a 'TRUE Handsfree OPeration'....."
Club i-mate: "True."
ME: "So the PDA2K doesn't really support 'Hands Free' profile as advertised, but rather ONLY 'Headset' profile?"
Club i-mate: "Yes."
I have been VERY pleased with all of my PDA2K EXCEPT for the Bluetooth functions. They totally dropped the ball with the Bluetooth on this device....
Interesting news.
Have you tried with voice software on the PDA2K?
Tomorrow (Saturday night now) I will break out the car kit and headset and see what I can learn. The car kit (nothing special, just Supertooth) allows both headset and handsfree, different button combo to activate.

Yes, I have Microsoft Voice Command on my PDA2K.
However, It requires activation by pressing a button on the PDA2K- and will only accept voice commands directly- via its own microphone- It will not activate/accept speech via a wireless headset, like ALL my previous bluetooth phones....
Again, this is not a true hands free mode- and it is entirely a limitation of the firmware/bluetooth radio stack Carrier Devices is using in the PDA2K at this time....
...for instance, with my SE T610, I could leave my phone in my jacket pocket or briefcase- in the trunk of my car, and still activate/voice dial anyone in my contact list simply by pressing one button on my wireless headset....
...as well, I could accept incoming calls just the same, as a tone would be heard in the headset, and a single press would accept the call. The PDA2K will not allow this. My PDA2K will not automatically find/activate my headset when an incoming call is made- it wont even let me use the headset 'unless' I have an active link to it- but when you keep an active link to ANY bluetooth headset and turn the unit off, it will repeatedly turn itself back on and run the battery nearly dead in a couple hours. I discovered this the hard way.
ABSOLUTELY USELESS bluetooth software in the PDA2K.....
I'm using SE HBH60 headset with Qtek 9090, if i receive a call and bt headset is off, i can just simply turn it on and press the button on the headset and the call is answered...If it's on already, i hear a ring in the headset and can answer the call by just pressing the button in the headset.

"...simply turn it on AND press a button on the headset and call is answered..."
Would you care to exaggerate here?
When I recieve calls, if I do not have an active link to my bluetooth headsets, I cannot answer with them... I must first go inot bluetooth manager and click on headset and click on 'connect'- which can take more than a few seconds each time I do....
I have tried this woth my Motorola, several Bluespoon's and my in-car handsfree system.... None will work unless the connection was made 'live' before the call, and then the PDA2K will not stay shut off, thus draining the battery...........

I think part of problem is the required button press, which isn't required on your other phones.

When you have your bluetooth headset connected and the PDA enters the standby mode (for example, you don't use it for few minutes), if you receive a call does the headset automatically reconnect?
I'm using 9090 with Nokia HDW-3 BT headset, and I'm in trouble when I put my PDA in stand by leaving BT activated and the headset connected. It seems that after few minutes of standby the headset disconnects, but PDA's BT led is still flashing... Maybe is there any power saving feature in PDA's bluetooth stack so when in standby it disconnects the headset?
BMW bt car kit
The Xda IIs works fine with handsfree profile BT devices (such as car kits), I have personally tried it with a BMW built in jobby (X5) & a Nokia ck 7w. It also works fine with BT headsets.
I can only assume that the other providers/networks have made the same mistake that O2 did with the XdaII, i.e. use the Microsoft BT stuff which does NOT support hands-free, only headset profiles.
Perhaps one of the clever folk on here can suggest a way to get the O2 version on your phones?

Also microsoft voice command does not support activation by bluetooth headsets, its not a fault of the imate, just no software to accept the voice dial command from the bluetooth headset
BMW BT with XDAII?
Would you please irblinx be more specific about how have you been able to made ANY kind of call through your XDAII?
My BMW series 5 built in BT hands free simply fails to Connect to the XDAII. I'm carrying a SE T68 just to use my car hands free system. Stupid way of using an 1000+ $ BMW extra.
Any help is wellcome!
:?
some confusion here (at least partly due to O2 giving the new model a confusing name!), the xda II does NOT work with car kits.
Only the new IIs works
Headset profile for PDA2K/9090
Sorry for my poor English
I need "HEADSET profile" for my PDA2K
Now all headset work with headset and hands free, but i nead "force" the headset mode with PDA2K
In headset mode (no hands free) I can use one headset for more devices, like PDA2K, notebbok, cellular phone.
In hands free mode the headset work with a device at time.
Regards
I have been searching for a headset with the following specifications, so far to no avail:
Must Have: Bluetooth 2.0, Multipoint (has to support at least two devices with Bluetooth Headset profile unlike the SonyEricsson HBH-DS970 -- see note below) so that I can pair the headset simultaneously with my Hermes and my laptop and switch back and forth between mobile telephony on the Hermes and Skype or another VoIP app on my PC without having to disconnect the headset and pair it again each time.
Nice to have: Stereo with A2DP, Desktop charging cradle, built-in (digital?) FM radio
I tried the SonyEricsson HBH-DS970 which is billed as a multipoint Bluetooth 2.0 stereo headset, but while it is advertised as supporting pairing with up to 10 devices it will only allow pairing with one device in the Bluetooth Headset profile that supports phone functions with the microphone enabled. All of the other pairings can only be Audio Sink profiles for listening to music. I love the design of the headset with the neckstrap and the earbuds, but since for me listening to music comes second to being able to switch between the Hermes and the PC, I have returned the SE HBH-DS970 in the hope that something else will appear on the market soon. In any case the Hermes stereo Bluetooth still has some kinks in it (eg skips every 40-50 seconds), so I decided that it would not be worth getting a Bluetooth stereo headset until the next maintenance ROM for the Hermes fixed them.
Does anyone think that something like this will become available anytime soon or is there unlikely to be enough demand?
Hi,
i had a question regarding the connectivity of the bluetooth. I am currently holding hp ipaq 6828 and itech clip radio bluetooth headset. I am able to pair the phone and the bluetooth headset. The probelm i faced is i switched on my bluetooth headset and my pda in discoverable mode. I am unable to auto pair it. Is it that i need to install some third party software in order to let it auto pairing or there is no way it can auto pairing like Sony Ericsson. Please advise.
Thanks
John
no idea what you mean by auto pairing, but the HEADSET needs to be in discoverable mode, not the phone. the phones BT just needs to be on. once the headset is in discoverable, (i.e. the light is steady-not always.. just on the ones ive used), try to pair it from the phone.
Good luck.

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.
Dear people,
I have a question I tried to connect my bluetooth headset (sony) but when I was looking in the settings under bluetooth it couldn't find my headset. What did I wrong? My headset was on not connected to any other device.
Would like to make it work!
Was your headset in pairing mode?
Devices won't show up if they're not in pairing mode.
