Did a search and couldn't find anything so here goes a simple question: If you have a wired headset that works for the phone. Can you also use it to listen to mp3 or other audio files on the XDA II? Or do u need 2 pieces of equipment to carry around?
:?:
when it's wired it works for both phone and music
but not all wired headsets have mics which work on the xda2
prob because of the wiring differ from phone to phone
thanks I have a wired headset with audio in one ear bud. Then this will work for mp3 files/audio files as well? I will try it right now. Do i need to specify speaker/headphones in the audio system or does it revert to the headset when it is plugged in?
thanks again.
stereo headset but mono sound
Hi there,
I just bought an original O2 XDAIIs headset but realise that I only got mono sound.
I am running WM5 - WWE 2.01a 64 and radio 1.19 on Himalaya.
Is there anything wrong with the software or hardware or do I need a patch for it?
Thanks in advance!

Only when you receive or make a call, the voice then, will be transferred to the buletooth headset. My question is: is it possible to active it at other time other than makeing call? Thus we can use our Voice Dial softwares and listen music from XDA II.
It only can transfer the voice during the phone call to BT headset. I think O2 need to modify the Bluetooth driver to support more function on BT section (like iPAQ PPC, compaq updated the BT Driver to support listen the music on BT Headset).
Hope can heard O2 to modify the BT driver very soon, otherwise my Bt headset for O2 is not very useful !
I think except voice command, there is no missing fuction for using BT headset right now, since the quality of the speaker is horrible for listen music.
I really don't know why everyone asking for listen MP3 with BT Headset with XDA2. Is that people really enjoy listen music with one ear and low qaulity?
The XDA II has the ability to automatically answer a call after a variable number of rings to be set. However, I believe that this option only functions with the headset plug installed and then probably the BT headset won't work. Or does anyone has another idea?
Is it possible to change the register, so you can automatically transfer the call without having the plug in?

Well some people would like to have audio via Bluetooth to be able to hear Tomtom navigator over the speakers ?
Also, the SPEAKER of the XDA might be bad, that doesn't mean the audio out is bad. With a good speaker or headset quality could be al lot better...
If you use the XDA Adaptor Jabra kit for the XDA1 in the earphone socket it works fine, but if you use the headset with the direct bluetooth connection, then it doesn't.
Bluetooth Music ?
I believe that the bandwith of a Bluetooth Audio connection is far to limited to support anything resembling HiFi, not much point in listening to MP3 music that way.
For TomTom, or my Korean Language MP3 tutorial files, it should be fine though.
Luckily, the speaker is far louder than on my IPAQ 5450 going on sale, so I don't really need external speaker for TomTom.

Obvious, your not useing any of the build-in BT functions are you .
You're just getting wired audio out from the XDA/MDA. You could do that with the XDA I also, i didn't buy and XDA II for that !
Hi all.
If I have the FM Transmitter connected to the headphone jack on the phone and try to use a Bluetooth headset to make/recieve calls while driving, will this work?
I am concerned that the phone will try to output the sound to the car stereo and that the voice will be picked up by the phones built-in speaker.
Thanks for any help in advance.
If it's a standard headphone adapter, it should be fine, I was able to use my BT headset with a Himalaya connected to desktop speakers, but it might vary with devices.
Best bet is try if you already have a BT headset to connect a normal pair of headphones to it and see what happens, it certainly won't hurt it, and the fact it's speakers, headphones, or FM transmitter is irrelevant as it's just a jackplug audio output as far as the device is concerned.
I don't have the BT headset yet - Going to buy the two said items together, but hopefully it works on the XDA/K-Jam or whatever too.
Thanks for the help
Hi guys
The T-Mobile MDA Compact III has FM radio.
Does anyone know if the FM radio audio is transmitted by bluetooth? Also the mp3 audio!
If not, I'm looking for a PDA (Windows Mobile) WITH radio that does transmit the radio audio over bluetooth - does such a unit exist?
The reason I want this feature is so I can use my Nolan bluetooth motorbike helmet to listen to the radio!
Cheers
John
I don't know about the phone itself, but I think the helmet would have to be a2dp compliant? I'm not sure the Nolan bluetooth helmets are. I think they only support the handsfree profile.
Was thinking about getting one of those helmets myself. Are they any good?
You can play mp3 audio over the Bluetooth but the radio refuses to play this way, I have tried many combinations/ settings and never got the audio to output via Bluetooth. That said the mp3 audio over Bluetooth is very good quality if a little low in volume - Mike
Googling a bit about this, seem to be a very common problem in android devices, not only our port to mini.
Based on the suggestions and comments found in a thread on community.sprint.com, while listening to an mp3, I partially removed and re-inserted the plug but only till the middle of the jack 3,5'' hole. The audio seem to be stereo. The icon in the status bar shows headphones when it's in mono and a headset when it's stereo, but it's very hard to stay with the headset icon
According to someone in the thread, it's apparently due to "impedance" which in non-tech speak means there is circuitry in the phone that is checking to see if you have a headset or headphones plugged in and it's changing the output based on that.
I get full stereo with my original HTC headphones with phone mic!
The problem only happens on audio-only headphones.
This is related with my previous test plugging only the half of the connector.
Look at the two 3,5'' jack: Probably Android is getting the sound from the two rings closer to the wire.
- The HTC headset have three rings, probably use the iner two for both audio channels and outer one for the mic
- Another standard headphones only take the audio from one channel and sound mono
Could be possible to change the source of the channels to the two outer rings?
Toggleheadset is an aplication to change headphones to headset mode. It should solve the problem, but unfortunately doesn't seem to work with froyo
I donwnloaded from the market (toggleheadset2), installed but swithching it of/off don't change anything

Whit my headset Sennheiser px200 3.5 mm TRS Mini-jack (model for iphone first generation) i have no audio problem. (two rings).

I'm not 100% sure, but installing this widget seem to solve the problem. The switch on/off don't work but I have stereo now
I installed toogle headset and i think doesn't resolve the problem.
Looks like we have stereo in android only when android detect headset with mic. In other case , we have mono.
Tested with:
Sansung original headset with micro: android detect the micro and i have stereo.
HTC original with micro: android detect the micro and i have stereo.
3 headset without micro : I have mono but if i introduce the headset slowly and android thinks i have micro (The icon change) the sound change to stereo.
Regards

RADIO FM Works
To ear FM radio:
Go to WM
Conect your headset ( I tested it with 2 headset with micro: Original HTC and sansung)
Start fm radio in WM
With FM radio on , run haret
Start radio fm in android.
You can heart the FM radio without 5 seconds sound problem.
I think is the same problem as the stereo sound and mayby the fix will be the same.
Regards.
Dear all,
I would like to use my headphones with a bluetooth microphone or headset. I like my earphones and don't want to go through the wireless A2DP BT to listen to music, but in the same time I would like to have the possibility of a hands-free solution. So my question, is it possible to have the sound output on the earphones and the sound input on the mic of a bluetooth headset (like a clip-on on which I don't connect my earphones)
Is there anybody that can fiddle with his device if he has the proper hardware?
Thanks
i think its not possible. if i connect my phone to car, audio-output is only available via bluetooth
