I own a Bluetooth Motorola headset HS810.
I also own:
- a MDA compact
- a MDA III and
- a XDA II
I see that recently someone was able to USE BLUETOOTH NOT ONLY for receiving phone calls, but also for listening to MP3 and other sounds or musics (via Windows Media Player).
My GOAL IS TO USE my BT headset and HAVE THE SAME QUALITY THAT I CURRENTLY HAVE USING STANDARD HEADPHONES.
Now what about quality? I heard about ADSP, a new bluetooth stack which allow much higher sound quality, quasi-stereo quality.
My questions are:
1. can somebody please summarize what is the current development status? Can somebody clarify this subject to unprofessional and amateur users like me who are eager to use BT headsets and listen to MP3 (not only pick up phone calls)?
2. If this new BT stack (widcomm or toshiba or microsoft ?) is already available, then in which units can be implemented? MDA compact? XDA II? MDA III?
3. Supposing this new BT stack already exists and it enables Windows Media (or similar applications) to stream sound for BT heeadsets, THEN can I get “quasi Hi-Fi” sound quality with my current Bluetooth Motorola headset HS810 or shall I need a replacement, a better BT headset a new generation one?
Thanks for your kind suggestions

Wrong post
I'm thinking of upgrading to this phone, one of the main reasons is that my current device, which has galaxy S guts, is not compatible with most bluetooth devices. I like to use an app called blueputdroid that turns my phone into a universal keyboard as well as an ELM bluetooth device that turns my phone into a dyno along with the torque app for my car.
For some reason the way samsung built the bluetooth makes it not work with a lot of these things, I know it's not the apps or 3rd party devices as I use my old G1 now for it, but would much rather just have my main phone be my one device.
Have any of you tested blueputdroid or any bluetooth devices? If not could someone try out blueputdroid with this phone (it's free in the market) any help would be much appreciated thanx!!
Says it has detected unsupported Bluetooth stack.. Install cyanogen Rom, etc.
Thanks, at least this phone is likely to get cyanogenmod support which will fix the problem my SK sure as hell won't
My GS2 works perfect with my ELM adapter. It worked perfect with my Vibrant too. I've never had a single problem with any bluetooth device on either of them.
I've had a lot of bluetooth problems with both my vibrant and now my GS2. Both work reliably with my wife's mini cooper bluetooth but they both have had problems connecting to the garmin nuvi I use for handsfree in my car (and forget about the A2DP on it).
I tried a lot of roms on my vibrant (incl stock) and they did lots of cool stuff but never made the BT connect reliably. Then I came across this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=795691
I made the suggested change to /system/etc/bluetooth/audio.conf and voila! I finally have good BT with my vibrant.
So I got my SG2 last week, rooted it and found that it also had the bad settings in /system/etc/bluetooth/audio.conf. However it also lacked BLN (backlight notification) and few other tweaks I've come to love on my vibrant so I flashed juggernaut 2.6. That fixed all the major foibles with the SG2 but it still won't reliably connect to my garmin.
I opened up the filesystem to find that /system/etc/bluetooth/audio.conf is no longer there! Does anyone know where it went?
Apparently I don't have enough posts to ask in the dev forum where juggernaut was posted http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1322642 so I'm hoping someone will see this plee for help.
thanks
the phone has BT 3.0, but it is backward compatible with BT 2.0 and 1.0 devices
i haven't had any trouble using it with my car deck (streaming audio & phone), my large collection of stereo BT devices, and other BT enabled phones & PCs/Laptops
the remote control feature from the stereo headsets works properly, for fast forward, backward, play, pause, talk, mute, etc
the only thing i have yet need to test BT on is with a BT smart wrist watch
i have a mini cooper, and it supports Iphone docking. it also supports msc drivers, but with newer android phones, MSC isn't really available.
anyway, i just realized there are devices that basically (Bluewave Bluetooth Audio Receiver) that emulate the iphone, but gets it's signal via bluetooth. so i can pair my phone to it, which would in turn relay the audio to my car...and hopefully, my car would think it's an iphone, and all the corresponding features would still work.
has anyone had any experience with these? would i be able to control my phone audio via my car's control? would the headset display song titles?
anyonw know one that support apt-x?
New Bluetooth stack
Android 4.2 introduces a new Bluetooth stack optimized for use with Android devices. The new Bluetooth stack developed in collaboration between Google and Broadcom replaces the stack based on BlueZ and provides improved compatibility and reliability.
Does anyone know what the exact improvements are? I remember in ICS there was an issue with degraded audio quality when you had two bluetooth devices connected (ex: hands free car speaker, and audio streaming device).
My car only has phone support (no A2DP) over bluetooth, so I am looking into buying this in order to stream music. Ideally the phone can know when to send a call to the car and music to the aux plugin.
I have been using the Google Edition ROM (4.4.2) on my M919 and things seem to be working great.
However, on calls, my call receipients notice a huge amount of echo/noise when I use Samsung bluetooth headsets WEP460 and HM 3700.
I tried a regular wired headset (Sennheiser CX275), and things work great! Even my car's built-in bluetooth from circa 2007 (which I believe has noise cancellation) works fine.
Could someone please give me some suggestions on apps to install or settings I could tweak to fix this issue?
Thanks in advance!
