Is there such a thing as a bluetooth speaker? I've got my TomTom S/W loaded and just waiting for my Rikaline BT GPS to arrive in the post. Just thinking it would be good if the audio out from the XDA II could be piped out to a proper speaker, without the use of wires.
So, has anyone heard of a BT Speaker?

Just bought a pair of Bluetrek ST1 Bluetooth Stereo Headphones and paired them up with my Trinity running the Australian WM6 ROM and it works a treat.
Audio quality is good for anything up to about 3 metres and degrades from there. The bass is a little lacking but I'm not sure yet whether this is a bluetooth issue or a headphone issue.
In other great news the remote control functions work completely with both HTC Audio Manager and WMP10 as do the call functions. I am yet to test voice commander compatibility.
All in all a highly recommended buy for a decent but cheap pair (AU$120) of bluetooth stereo headphones. I will report back on battery life and other issues if they crop up.
Is possible hear radio without cordless for example with a Bluethooth headset?
Like other HTC phones with an FM radio, reception is dependent on having the wired headset plugged in as it is the antenna for the radio. Without it plugged in, you won't get any reception.
I suppose, however I have never tried it, that you could stream the radio over A2DP to a bluetooth headset as long as you have the wired headset plugged in as well to act as the antenna. Maybe you could wrap up the headset and keep it in your pocket plugged into the phone - seems like a pretty bulky solution though.
Hope that helped - good luck!
Thank You PSARGENT but I tried already and don´t work. Anyone knows any trick for it?
Also, if psargent's suggestion works, be careful that the headset you plug in must be one with a microphone built in (e.g. the headset that comes with the Touch Cruise) because it is the cable to the mic that is used as the FM aerial so a simple adaptor that just connects the audio outputs to a 3.5mm jack (e.g. the Boxwave adaptor) will not provide an input to the FM aerial.
Edit: I just saw that our posts crossed and that psargent's suggestion doesn't work.

This is the only part of the phone that I don't like. Why can't you use a BT to listen to the radio. Sure, I can see that it needs the wire for antenna purposes, but why can't you have that plugged in and listen via BT?
I install BTAudio, and hoped that that would solve it, but it didn't...
Hi, I recently purchased a converter for my diamond, it's a USB to 3.5mm Headphone jack which I then convert to RCA and use it as in Auxilary in my car and listen to songs through my car speakers. As soon as I start calling I hear the person I am calling through the car speakers but they cannot hear me since the Diamond thinks it is a wired headset hooked up with a microphone. So I wanted to know if it is possible to enable the Phone microphone while hooked up to the headset?
Buy the YC A300 adapter
Buy the Diamond YC A300 accessory. It works. When you plug it in, it mutes nothing. The audio comes from the Diamond speaker and the mic is operational. As soon as you attach your earphones it mutes the built-in speaker, but not the mic. So, it only mutes what is necessary. Just what you need.
the diamond, at least the cdma sprint touch diamond, has a built-in microphone in the same space as the earpiece. i use it all the time when i make calls using my 3.5mm earbuds
Is there a application around which will un-mute the mic though, im guessing its only software mute, not a hardware mute on it.
Maybe it is software but I haven't seen any app that solved this issue
Hi!
i connected my phone to my car speakers via a mini-usb to 3.5mm adapter and i was wondering if i could use the microphone of the phone because this registers it as a headset and is expecting a mic from it.
it would be great to take phone calls through the external speakers.
never heard of it being possible
but then also didn't believe it was possible
to use the normal speaker when a headset
was connected but thats possible on some
phones where the headset is antenna for the fm radio
I use the factory HTC Fuze 3.5mm audio jack dongle that came with the phone, and I am able to use the phone's mic by default while audio-out is interfaced with my car stereo. The audio comes through the car speakers. I have been told by the caller on the other end that it sounds no different than me using a bluetooth headset.
Hi all.
Quick question. Topic kind of says all. But, every other bluetooth phone I've had has worked great with my bluetooth handsfree that came installed in my car (Ford Mondeo 2006 and earlier modem). Last phone I had was an Orange San Fran, and that worked great with android 2.1. Also, with the HTC Touch Pro 2, that worked great too. I know that's a WM phone, not android, but would imagine HTC wouldn't mess up something that bad?!
Anyway, with the z, I can connect perfect to the headset. It works in that when I call, radio/cd volume turns off, but the sound comes through the headset, not the speakers... all other phones work fine with volume through car headset speakers. Also, tried doing a test call to see whether the microphone is taken through the car microphone, or the handset microphone, and appears to be handset microphone. When I put the phone to my mouth to talk, it's much clearer and loader than if I put it down and speak in the car mic. So sounds like nothing is actually transferring to the bluetooth in the car...
Is there anything I cam do to ensure it's working perfecly.
Anyone else have any input of what I can do to get it to work?
Thanks alot
