[Q] Skype call with Nimbuzz and bluetooth 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…

BT headset, skype, answering calls on the Tab

After reading the searched posts for hours, I thought I'd post and ask for an update.
Is anyone able to use their bluetooth headset to answer skype calls on their tablet by pushing the button on the headset?
If so, can you please state which headset you're using?
thanks

Messing around with a Voyager Pro+ BT headset, the earpiece transmits sound from skype and my music, but as for microphone, skype still tries to use the tablet mic instead of the headset mic. BTmono seems to solve that problem, but it's still not possible to answer calls with the call button on the headset. When I push it, it hangs up on an incoming call and tries to dial my google voice number and asks me which program I want to use, giving me the option of Skype and data calling. If I choose data, it says "not supported". Anyone know of an app that will let me change the headset button configuration to answer an incoming skype call, instead of the current function, which is to dial my google voice number, for whatever reason?

I have the same problem. Skype works great with BT headsets in Windows but the Android version does not even seem to have an options menu where one can select the sound input and output. Skype still works fine using the Tab microphone and speakers but if you want to have a more private conversation, you will have to plug in a wired headset.
I find it hard to believe that Skype would overlook this feature in Android so maybe there is another reason that BT is not supported.

skype works with my bluetooth headset and galaxy tab - likely your headset needs to conform to some spec (v2.1)

That may be it. The headset is a Samsung model WEP490. Any idea how I find out if this unit is compatible?

Which bt headset are you using, animatechnica?
And you're able to answer calls with the headset button?

You've already been asked twice. Please answer. Which specification do you mean?

Call Record problem w/ bluetooth

I have Plantronics Voyager PRO HD bluetooth. I am trying to record calls w/ both myself and other person. When I use the bluetooth I only can record the other person and not myself. I tried many recording call apps, several sound routing apps, and even tried w/ Plantronics Voyager PRO HD smart sensors disabled and enabled. Bluetooth works wonderfully in hearing callers, music, and other audio from Galaxy Note 2. But still can't record my own voice when recording calls.
I understand that Samsung scrambled this up in order to stop us recording calls.
Does anyone found a work around? and if so, give details please.
Thank you.

[Q] bluetooth mic not working

Hello, I just bought a bluetooth headset that supports both headset and a2dp mods.
I can listen to music fine.
And when i receive a call it switches to headset profile fine..
I can hear the call from earphones but..mic does not work.
I downloaded and tested with an application bluetooth mic tester and it was working fine in this application.
So no hardware problems with it.
What i suspect is, this headset doesnt have any pin code to pair devices..
You just discover the device and pair without any pins..
So, can it be a security issue not to enable microphone on calls?
And if so,
is there a way to change this behaviour, modiying a file etc on audio settings??
Thanks?

Media is not recording through Bluetooth Headset Mic

I'm having a issue with Realme X, while using a bluetooth headset its mic is working with call function only, but if you try to record a voice clip though inbuilt recorder app or any other app, handset mic is being used not the bluetooth headset mic. This problem is with all the app even Pubg game too.
