Transfer Sound to Buletooth Headset?

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 !

Hear the mp3 at bluetooth earphone

Hi guys,
anybody can help me to find out using the bluetooth earphone hearing the mp3, i'm using the mini xda , also is it possible to dial phone number using the vito voice using the earphone
thanks

I´m looking for a solution of similar problem too. But there seems to be a problem in Windows Phone Edition. The Bluetooth stack works together only with the radio stack. Means it supports only the Headset or the Handsfree profile.
What we need is the support of an Audio profile. In the case of stereo output there is another problem. Bluetooth is too slow to transfer it properly.
Maybe you will find other hints when looking for other key words in the forum: "navi speech output", "widcom bt stack" or "bth tools"
I´m looking for it because I want to hear the output of Navigon on my bike (that would be mono). The widcom bt stack is under construction and may support the profile in the future. The BTH Tools is an addon to the MS BT stack and solves some problems with Headsets and GPS mice. :?
Another solution would be to fit an bt transmitter in the earphone jack and use an separate receiver with normal earphones. But the harware is really fat, because its usually developed for home entertainment. :shock:

i'm getting these
http://www.bluetake.com/products/BT420EX.htm
they work

Okay, I found them too. But with a price of about $ 200,00 they are to epensive. I won´t divide them into parts to fit them into my helmet.

How do I route (phone) audio to computer via BT?

Hi guys,
I have an XDA ATOM and a BT dongle using Bluesoleil.
I've paired them both up and I am able to use the computer as a "Wireless Stereo" - thus rerouting music/sounds to be played via the computer speakers. Now I can play mp3's and other audio from my PDA direct on my computer speakers.
This is great, but not exactly what I hoped for. I was hoping to route the phone audio instead ("Wireless Headset"). That is, routing the audio that I hear when I'm in a phone call. I've configured the Bluesoleil application to have the "Wireless Headset" service enabled, along with all the other services.
The weird thing is, my Atom only shows up "Serial Port" and "Wireless Stereo" when paired with my computer.
Any ideas on how I could get it working?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You need to set yr Atom as Handsfree in yr Bluesoliel BT Software....

Hi,
Thanks for replying.
How exactly do I do that? I dont get any options which I can change when I'm pairing up the ATOM with my computer. It pairs up as a "Device name" and then BlueSoleil picks up all the services the ATOM is compatible with, ie. DUN/File Transfer. It doesnt seem like its possible to specify the ATOM to be a handsfree device in BlueSoleil itself.

look for the services after the device discovery..there are options for BT Audio..

I'm able to connect to my computer and use the Audio Gateway (in the headset mode) (computer is being used as the headset)
I can enable the handsfree when in a call. I'm able to see the number of the caller on my computer when the phone rings. I can answer the call from my computer.
Problem is I can't hear a thing.
I have switched the audio mixers between Realtek AC97 Audio (my soundcard), Bluetooth Audio and Bluetooth High Quality Audio and I still can't hear a thing. Is there a way to map my BT dongle's audio gateway output to my soundcard?

BUMP.... anybody?

The BlueSoliel software is notoriously crap, it's why it's used on all the cheap dongles, because they charge so much less for their licenses.
This should work fine with the Widcomm bluetooth stack on your PC, I have done this before as it was nice to use my PC's headset while I was gaming to take calls also.
Haven't tried it in a couple of years though, but it definately worked with Widcomm.

if i were to get a bluetooth dongle i would buy one directly from broadcom
(who makes the widcomm software)
because even if other makers also license the software
broadcom release firmware to match the later versions of widcomm
if other dongle makers dont newer versions of widocmm dont work or dont work very well with the software

Well that's the thing... with Blue Soliel I would expect this kind of a problem, but I have a dongle which uses the Widcomm Stack. I've tried everythign possible and yet no sound. I even tried it with another laptop which was using a Blue Soliel donle... tried doing it both ways... ie accessing sound on both ends... but nothing.

BUMP........

Is there a way you connect 2 bluetooth headsets at once?

I was just wondering is there a way you connect 2 bluetooth headsets at once because while i was browsing i came across a program that allows you to listen to all sound that runs through your phone. Which since i gave up bluetooth headsets, i cant verify if it works. But if it does, instead of buying those (big) bluetooth stereo headset or those (wired) stereo bluetooth heaset, I can just use small wireless normal bluetooth headsets.

Honestly, buying a good pair of regular headsets to listen to music or other quailty sound on will cost you MUCH more than buying 1 normal A2DP supporting ones (unless you already have 2 headsets )

i thought this was goint to be a request to share music via 2 stereo BT headsets. Now that would be useful.

By default, you can't connect 2 headsets to your device at the same time.
sharing audio between 2 different headsets would be even harder than running 2 mono ones at the same time.
you're invited to develop this idea a bit further and suggest a development in the Dev&Hack section. hopefully, someone would go for it.

Hi, unfortunately i wouldn't know where to start with this and as i don't have a BT stereo head set, it's not something i would actually find a use for. Don't really use my Trinity for audio, it was easier to just get a large iPod, apologies for bad language , and use that.

i was actually refering to jeff
I wouldn't suggest this to someone who knows almost everything

If only that were true, i just spend far too much time on here.

hi
you can connect to 2 bt headsets but only to differentiate their settings. one would be in handsfree mode while the other in wireless headset mode. but sharing both settings (e.g. handsfree, thus sharing the audio) is not possible. the moment you bond the second bt headset, it severes the first one's connection.
hope that helps

I think he meant sending audio to both at the same time...

I can't believe there isn't any developement on this yet...

HELP!!! Bluetooth and radio.

I am the happy owner of a HTC Topaz.
I ride a motorbike, and have recently bought a bluetooth crash helmet with built in speakers / mic which works a treat for answering and making calls and also for listening to TomTom navigation instructions from my HTC Topaz.
However, I have yet found a solution to allow me to listen to the built in radio via bluetooth. Because HTC requires the plug-in headset to act as an antena the radio doesnt work without it.
However when I plug in the headset, i get instant radio reception but then the sound is routed to the plug-in headset , rather thean the bluetooth speakers.
My logic tells me that there must be some way to use the plug in headset as ONLY an antena allowing the sound to be routed by deafault to the bluetooth headset. Surely this is software driven?
I am not a software Guru, but keen to learn and frustreted that there doesnt seem to be a yet obvious solution to this problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
