I believe Jabra 250/258 has the best connection insofar.
G2 seems to be good as well.
I understand Nokia BT does not use generic BT standards, and
Sony Ericsson Headsets are erratic.
Cheers.

Thanks Henry,
has anyone tried upgrading the bluetooth stack? Also in Singapore the XDA2 has a decent BT headset in their recent offer, what make is this?

lots of people have upgraded their bluetooth stack well not really upgraded because ms dont have any upgrades

Don't know I'm not so into the BT business yet (only got a BT gps). There's a BlueSoleil BT stack as well you should be able to find it easily.
Success, M
did a search and could not find this stack.
Have you been here?

Question about the BT Stack of the XDA Stealth

Hey everyone,
I recently purchased an O2 Xda Stealth and a Sony DR-BT20NX BT stereo headset. After spending a lot of time trying every single mp3 player, I've come to the following conclusion: The Bluetooth stack in the Stealth sucks: random crashes, lost connection, constant skipping of music etc.
So I was wondering if there is any way to install a better BT stack. Widcomm maybe, or something else. Is it doable?

ROM supporting Bluetooth Handfree Profile?

I've tried a few ROMs and haven't found one the supports the Bluetooth Handsfree Profile. I have a Nokia Carkit that only does Handsfree (no Headset) profile.
Does anybody know if or which one of those many ROMs flying around here support this Profile? Most threads here are only concerned with A2DP and hardly anybody talks about the Handsfree Profile. But I desperately need this.
Before someone mentions it: I have already tried the Jet BTHF Extension. It works well with my Jabra BT800, but not with my Nokia Carkit.
Thanks in advance,
Chris

Which Nokia carkit do you have ?
I have the same issue with a SONY MEX BT-5000
I have the same issue with a SONY MEX BT-5000, it needs Bluetooth OBEX sony tell me.
AKU 3.3 is supposed to support Bluetooth PAN, what ever that is. Lets hope its works when some one has cooked up a 3.3 for the Prophet.
I have the Nokia CARK CK-1W.
nobody has an idea?
Just thought I'd bump this one back up as I too have an old Nokia CK-1W car kit that I'd like to ba able to use.

MS BT stack + pairring problem with carkit

Hello,
Bt MS stack is apparently not compatible with all BT headset, hands free en car kit devices. I have been trying to pair my pocketphone pda with a pioneer car kit without a successful result, the image of the hands free appears on the BT manager ‘as pioneer BT unit’, but the standard pin code 0000 or 1111 is always rejected.
Pioneer technical service couldn’t help, they say normally it should work with almost all BT headset devices and a compatibility list of the product is not available.
I guess the problem lays on the BT package. Is there a way to solve this issue by creating for example a BT compatibility patch, or changing something in the registry to make it compatible. Widcomm stack is better en compatible than the MS stack according to many users. Does anybody have any clue?
My device is upgraded to WM6 with always the same sad result.
Thanks
Hi, I have a pioneer bluetooth stereo in my car too, Found it a bit difficult to get paired at first, but it eventually worked. Although it would not give me the hands free profile, only the headset profile, which means I have to initiate and anwer the calls from the phone :-(
thinking about looking at the widcomm stack if I can get it running on WM6
For your information, I have tried the widcomm om my device ‘the last version’, but when I click on the bt icon in today screen, the blue led start flashing for a while but stops with “ memory storage error” . There are some bugs which should be corrected or some registry hack to get it work. However, the widcomm is far much better and stable than the MS BT stack ‘this later sucks’.
Apparently, you have a built-in bt unit, I have a pioneer 6800 + BT unit device optional, it worked perfectly with my old qtek 9090 as a hands-free and an BT audio device without any problem.

A2dp motorola S9+windows xp

first off, major props to the xda community, you guys are the best!
now for an interesting problem/project:
It's been a month since I've purchased my Motorola S9 bluetooth headphones http://www.motorola.com/motoinfo/product/details.jsp?globalObjectId=177 and have been amazed by what I can do when combine the S9 with my HTC touch and cyberon's voice dialer which is a voice activation program
I use it to:
listen to stereo music
launch programs
stereo music remote control
speed dial
raise and lower volume
teach iphone users the meaning of envy
just being able to do that with with the a2dp remote and microphone of the s9 makes it feel like it's 2030 where people are wired to computers and technology is transparent and everywhere. The s9 feels like sci fi technology... almost. the s9+htc touch is a great no hassle way of getting the information you want pumped into your ears
so as a tech enthusiast I've asked myself,
why the hell can't my computer do this?? i mean, it's 2008 and I'm still using a keyboard and mouse for everything?
I'm trying to make the S9's work on my mac book pro running windows xp+bootcamp drivers but windows doesn't even support a2dp much less handsfree wireless mic profile
i've an online tutorial by katy hxxp: www.djkaty.com/drupal/vista/bluetootha2dp but installing broadcomm's bluetooth stack gives me an error telling me that there is no bluetooth radio device detected which is total bull as i've been able to send files to my HTC touch via bluetooth. I've also tried installing another bluetooth replacement stack called bluesoleil; with no luck
I've also am about to start trying adding widcomm using this guide (http://www.dev-toast.com/2007/01/05/uncrippling-bluetooth-in-vista-rtm)
but in the guide said a2dp doesn't work with widcomm
anyways how do i make bluetooth a2dp work and my s9's mic to work via bluetooth on pc? is my ultimate question
also, if you could recomend a voice activation program that works as well as cyberon's voice dialer I'm looking for the type of functionality where I can press the voice button issue a command and then good stuff happens I bet lots of other people thought of doing the same thing like this
could you please help?
A step by step guide would be aprechiated
update: I've been able to install widcomm drivers version 5.1 and everything works... except the a2dp UGH!

BlueSoleil, with some external BT dongles, does support A2DP. It's just that the BT dongle itself must support it in hardware.
That is, shop for an external BT dongle if you do need A2DP.

thanx but i'm trying to get my internal laptop's bluetooth to use it I've heard good reports that i'm just using the wrong version of widcomm drivers.... time to reinstall everything...again
besides who wants to carry around a laptop with a dongle flopping around? i'll try to avoid the dongle solution if i can
A2DP and bluetooth stack
Having same issues here. My goal is using BOTH A2dp and Blackberry wireless sync via bluetooth (just a serial port).
I find it impossible as Blackberry will only work with native xp drivers and A2DP is not supported in xp.
Currently i gave up wireless sync and am using A2DP with Bluesoleil, which works fine for me.
Anyone ever tried using A2DP WITHOUT switching to a different bluetooth stack?
