Hi there,
I've been watching this forum for quite some time now and usualy find al the answers here. But this time I can't...
I recently received my Artemis, and since I'm a Voipbuster user, I would like to use my Artmis as a 'headset' for my PC, connecting via bluetooth, calling over Voip onmy PC, and talking and listening on my Artemis.
Is this possible and how?
Thanks for all the help,

Hi, I think its easy enough to do so. I use to do this with skype but the idea is the same.
First the bluetooth stack that windows has is no good. You gonna need another one with more profiles. I use the WIDCOMM bluetooth stack.
I dont now what hardware u have, mine was branded in device properties "blutonium" and its internal in my laptop, I search their site and downloaded the said drivers (stack). Now maybe urs maybe different... u should find one and the newest version the best. Use google or something...
Anyway, after installation I run the bluetooth configuration utility and after pairing my bluetooth headset with my laptop I shoose to use the profile "hands free audio" with my headset. Afterwards I open skype and in settings where u choose audio (in which the only option before was my sound card) now appeared the option of my wireless headset. After that the sound comes from my headset.
I think that u can choose to use the Artemis as a "hands free audio device" among others when u do the pairing.
The funny thing is that u can do the opposite and when pairing u can choose your PC to be Artemis' hands free audio meaning that... when u play an mp3 or someting on ur Artemis u can hear it through ur PC speakers... from 10 meters distance...
The only requirement is to have a new and feature-rich bluetooth stack.
Good Luck
Hey thanks a lot for the tip!
I'll try it out
Anyone else having bluetooth problems or is this operator error?
I can switch bluetooth on, make my handset visible, pair with other devices and receive files from other handsets, however when I try to send anything, I can't connect to paired devices and bluetooth hangs meaning I have to switch my handset off and on.
I was using bluetooh last night and all was ok
but unlike my last phone c902 the bluetooth is on a timer then turns off visibility
Working fine for me. Paired up my bluetooth headset and will still be working hours later even if I haven't interacted between them.
It's strange, devices show as paired but not connected and I can't make them connect.
Have been able to use BT for file transfer between my Desire and laptop and HD2. Also connected to my Plantronics BT headset. I think you need to have an appropriate BT driver for some devices like BT keyboards.
I too am having minor issues.
The wife's hands free kit (Parrot CK3000 evo) in the car supports voice dialling by sending contacts to it and then recording a tag which is associated with the contact. This way the kit can do the voice dialling for handsets that don't support it.
For some reason the Desire refuses to send contacts to the hands free kit claiming it doesn't support the correct bluetooth profiles. This obviously isn't the case as all the other phones we have tried work perfectly with the CK3000.
Only a minor issue, as in my car which has the CK3300 everything works fine (including syncing the phonebook to the car kit). It's more of a problem for the wife though, as she wants to upgrade to the Desire on Saturday when her contract is up for renewal but at the minute won't be able to voice dial from the car.
Dae.
Strange. I'll try connceting to my laptop later.
I too am having difficulty sending files over bluetooth. I can accept files fine, from any source, yet cannot send from my HTC Desire. First the notification says complete, but 0 files sent. Then going inside it shows it has failed. And then clicking it and retrying shows Unknown file. What's going on??
Tried sending to two mobile phones, and a Windows 7 laptop. Easily works the other way around. Also, sometimes I can't turn my bluetooth off properly, it just crashes the chip while turning off and can't turn it on or off until I reboot. Thought it might be Advanced Task Killer, but tried the same thing immediately after a reboot and still can't send files. Any ideas?
still no closer to solving this, I think it may be going back tomorrow.
I'm also having problems...
I have the Parrot CK3200 LS-COLOR and it connects to the phone ok, or vice versa and then it always falls over when trying to sync the contacts... It shows my facebook profile pic and then it fails.
If I dial a contact through the phone, or receive a call, it comes out fine through the speakers.
So I'm wondering if it's something to do with the way the the desire handles contacts.
Sorry if there's been a resolution to this, I did search first
me to also having the same problems. spent 4 hours on google last night and still no closer.
Weird as it might sound, I had no issues connectiong to car stereo. But when I tried to pair it with friends mobile, SonyEricsson c902 - it crashed!
I was trying to send a picture file I have downloaded using bluetooth.
Also, can anyone tell me how to send a mp3 file I have downloaded off the internet to another mobile using bluetooth?
Thanks
Have you enabled FTP under Bluetooth advanced settings? I have no problem transfering files to and from PC or other mobile phone. Also make sure the device is dicroverable and paired.
I had a similar problem which I wrote to HTC about: I paired and connected the Desire with my bluetooth car head unit and it works fine for phone & audio, but it will not auto connect each time I get in the car and I have to go through the pairing process and enter a code each time. Voice dialling also doesn't work. My previous handset (Touch HD) connected automatically if the bluetooth was on so I don't think it's a problem with the head unit. Someone suggested it might be due to an old bluetooth protocol on the head unit (I'd like to avoid having to replace it if possible).
i managed to send a file to another htc desire today, last time i tried, i admit i didn't enable the ftp service, however I could not send via bluetooth to a nokia n96 but to be fair, my desire probably just didn't want anything to do with it . but on a serious note I cant seem to get it to send to my windows 7 x64 disto.

take that back .. apart from the N96 joke.. reason windows was not accepting was because avast anti virus was blocking it.

Hello all, this is my first post after a long time viewing this great forum.
I was wondering, could the HTC Desire be turned into a wireless audio receiver with A2DP? My stereo bluetooth headset died recently, and I got used to watching movies on the PC while using them as headphones. So I was wondering if it was possible to turn the phone into a receiver in the same manner.
If it's not possible, is it a hardware limitation?
Thanks.

I've tried searching for any input on this subject, but I couldn't find any real info about it.
We know the Desire can transmit stereo over A2DP, and can receive mono when you are talking with a BT device. But does this indicate the ability to receive stereo over A2DP? I hope there is no hardware limitation for that.
If it is possible, I guess an application would act like an A2DP device, so that the BT software on the PC would recognize it as such. I'm really hoping to see such a feature, or at least to know if it's possible.
Hello, i have been using Samsung Omnia, and last week i "updated" to htc Desire and Android...
The question is: i had a very useful Samsung sbh 500 headset with bluetooth... By i have tried all the ways but i cant make it work on my desire... In theory its an a2dp bluetooth headset...should be compatible...i dont know perhaps someone has to write a special driver/module...
Any help would be apreciated
Thanks in advance
nobody ???
Up
what will it not do? pair?
Yes... desire recognises mi pc, but it cant detect the bluetooth headset...cant detect it, so i cant pair... and the headset are on and bluetooth is activated.... Perhaps i need a driver to use them, i dont know....
Any help would be apreciated
Thanks again
Have you tried unpairing/dissociationing the headset from any other previous devices?
Thanks for your help 3722
I think so.. because the other phone is off. I also deleted the samsung sbh headphones from the bluetooth devices on the other phone ( just in case).
Ive tried to pair it a lot of times, and im 10 cm from the phone ( there isnt any interference or obstacle...)... I dont know....
Any ideas ??
I doubt that it's some kind of driver issue, are you sure your desire is discoverable when you are trying to pair it?
Can you pair any other a2dp headset to the phone, if you can't then probably your rom has messed up, you can either do a hard reset or flash another one.
The rom is the original one.. with all the updates till today.. with froyo.
Yes i put the option visible on.
No, i havent tried with other headset as i dont have any other...I think ( not sure), that i other forums that desire or android give some problems with a2dp headsets.. perhaps i need a module or perhaps the code is not mature enough..
Thanks again 3722
i had a problem with my last sony erricson bluetooth headset - i think because i'd paired it to a phone, laptop and another phone it kind of gave up.
it refused completely to be discoverable to anything anymore... maybe its a similar thing?
Hey guys,
Have ever tried to listen to music from ur Desire to Laptop speaker? Or use ur laptop speaker as a speaker phone/mic for Desire?
I have tried and failed many times. Do I need specific driver for that?
Thanks
