is it possible to add BLUETOOTH to a XDA??? - General Topics

Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help me. This may be a silly question.
I just purchased an XDA. Can I add a bluetooth application to the XDA, enabling it to have bluetooth capabilities?
Kind Regards

No, XDA (Wallaby) does not have a SDIO slot. It only has a SD slot, which can only accept SD cards and nothing else. Therefore, it cannot work with a SDIO enabled bluetooth card.
If you look for bluetooth headset for your XDA, you have to get an audio adapter first, then the bluetooth audio adapter. This is because the Wallaby/XDA does not have a standard/common audio pin layout. Most bluetooth audio adapter in the market such as those from jabra will not work with the Wallaby/XDA if plugged directly. In the past, Jabra has a specific adapter to be used with XDA type/PPC device, but it has been discontinued.
I will not recommend this solution either as its very costly to get: audio adapter, bluetooth adapter, and finally bluetooth headset.

Thanks for the quick response.
Are there any alternative methods I could use to enable the XDA to have bluetooth capabilities?
Kind Regards

i've seen dongles which let the device use a bluetooth headset
but it dident add any other bluetooth capeabilities to the device

bluetooth support for XDA II

Hi, does XDA II have built-in Bluetooth support or do I need any other device for connection with PC? I read that XDA II has a bluetooth support only for data in a website.
xdaII support sync with a pc using
bluetooth
usb
IR (i think)
if your pc dont have bluetooth then you can buy a bluetooth usb reciever
if you by only bluetooth data support as in no support for bluetooth headsets then no xda2 support headset aswell
if you mean that the bluetooth support as in profiles is currently limited on the xda2 then yeah but software upgrades will change that
not sure if this answer my question if not
ask again

Blue tooth head set - but not for phone?

Is it possible to use a bluetooth headset for ALL audion not just the phone? I already use Pocket Skype but I want to be able to use my bluetooth headset - since it doesn't consider the Skype to be a phone call - how can I make it use the headset for all sounds produced by the device?
All help and advice appreciated. All good advice and help appreciated more. All useful advice and help... ah, now we're talking!
M
think people have been able to get headsets working for normal audio using the broadcom or vidcomm bluetooth stack insted of the ms one
but it also seems that those bluetooth stacks dont support the headset profile so people cant use their headset for phoning anymore
Interesting catch 22 - phone bluetooth or other sounds bluetooth - but not all sounds bluetooth.
Isn't it silly things like this that make a great device irritating?!(Rhetorical)
yes it's silly
guess it comes down to ms not liking bluetooth which they dident invent themselfs so their stack is kinda thin
not sure what vidcomm and the rests's excuse is
i personaly bougth the bluetake iPhono headset which have a dongle which makes it possible for me to use my headset to work with both
phone and music

If what you say is correct, then there is a bit of a conundrum. The telephone operates via the bluetooth stack - so how does the gps receiver connect? There is apparently a way for the PC element of the device to use bluetooth, so why not audio?
I think using an external Btooth transmitter id a bit OTT. This is a software fix requirement.

Hi, I am thinking to buy the Bletake Bluetooth I-Phono BT420Ex + BT430EX with my Qtek 2020 / Xda II, And I want to know it will work properly... my ROM it´s 2.20CHS.
And if yours answer it´s positive, how?
You connet the audio dongle to the output of the pda and the headset with the pda by BT?
Thanks
yes as bluetooth headset it's supported
and the xda dont have to support the dongle
as far as the xda see it the dongle is just a wired headset
the dongle take care of everything wireless
heck if you want you can connect the dongle to something else
and still have it as bluetooth headset for the xda at the same time
when you get a call the headset disable the audio from the dongle and act as a normal bluetooth headset
Hi,
according to this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=245461#245461 , I assume that you have this bt headphone and you have used it with satisfactory results...
Now, I still have a few doubts :
1) Do you connect the dongle to the pda and use it to listen music?
2) You use the bt manager of the pda as a handsfree?
3) Or do you use the dongle with the pda to both listen to music, and talk on the phone?
4) Or do you never use the dongle at all...?
5) Did you upgrade the bt manager of the pda? If this is true, where can I do it in the forum?
Thanks for all...
1 yes
2 yes
3 only needed when i listen to music
i just use bluetooth tools
and the org ms bluetooth stack
if one have a bluetooth stack which support a2dp
the dongle is not needed at all
Thanks!!
Many thanks for your patient and reply.
Searching at the forum I found this links, may be interests you...

BT USB dongle with Itech R35?

Hi, i'm wondering if i can use my Itech R35 stero headset with any random USB BT dongle.
i plan to use it for my computer.
thanks!
It should work with any of them, but be careful to find one that supports A2DP and AVRCP out of the box. Doggles like from Jabra or I.Tech is probably the safest bet (I'm using the Jabra A320s with the I.Tech R35), instead of D-Link or some other non-BT audio vendor.

Heads up - bluetooth car radio at Lidl, UK

I've just got a bluetooth car radio from Lidl - this one
Its quite cheap but has a lot of functions - bluetooth phone connection with external mike, usb and sd card sockets, aux socket, front ipod (earphone) connector, sub out, remote control.
But surprisingly, it supports A2DP so sound can be sent from the PDA over bluetooth - great for sat-nav and playing mp3's. I'm using BT Audio Router to send all sound to bluetooth.
Its on special offer for this week, so it may sell out quickly.

[RESOLVED] Bluetooth headset dongle that lets you use external microphone?

I'm on a search for a Bluetooth headset/dongle that lets you bypass the built-in microphone and use the mic in a higher end set of headphones. I heard a rumor this might be possible in the Nokia BH-111. Can anyone confirm this? Or know of a similar, small bluetooth adapter that lets you use the external microphone?
edit, n/m I found what I was looking for in this thread:
