HTC has been great enough to provide me with a pre-release ATT FUZE. I have tried many Bluetooth headsets with out much success. The only headset I have been able to get to work is the Jabra BT8010 which is A2DP. Jawbone, Moto H15, H12, and a few others had no sound when answering a call. I have not found a Thread on this so I believe im alone.
Can anyone suggest where to look in the registry or any other solutions to look at?
Also any help on getting voice command to announce over Bluetooth would be great.
Thanks!

Can someone get the software to work on other Pocket PCs?
these are much better
Those are terrible! Check out the ones by Blueant and the ones from Bluetake, loads better. The bluetake ones provide a dongle that allow u to use it on almosy sny device because it provides A2DP (which our widcomm bluetooth stack doesn't) which is cool, because when Broadcom/Widcomm release version 4.0 we'll have A2DP and more and then wont need the dongle.

The purpose of this topic is to encourage developers to develop A2DP for pocket PCs before the Widcomm release and not to promote the HP headphones.
When will Widcomm release version 4.0?
Anybody?
Could you please explain what is A2DP??

Hey. Are you from Kenya?
A2DP is the bluetooth Advanced Audio Distribution Profile.
With it, you can stream CD quality sound from between bluetooth devices rather than the mono-telephone quality-sound you get through the common profiles.
Not from Kenya, but from South Africa, the country not the region.
This seems like a worth while endevour. It would be realy nice if we had the functionality on the XDAII and above...
I would actually just be happy if my BT works with the current profiles.

FI,
Bluetake iPHONO bluetooth headphone does not come with a driver (or CD) because the driver is hard-coded into the dongle/headphone

Yeah. I like thoes headphones but am not interested in carrying the dongle.
I currently leace the house with phone and PDA. I look forward to leaving with PDA and headphones but without the dongle.
Apparently someone on the PocketPCThoughts forum was able to use the HP BT headset drivers with the BlueTake headset. He's using a 4700, but that's still a PPC that doesn't support the headset. Has anyone tried using the HP drivers?

Interesting.
I'd try it if I had the headset.
Yep, I really like the idea of stereo headphones with headset capabilities but the dongle is a deal-breaker for me. I will definitely try something like the bluetake headphones/headset when the A2DP profile is supported directly on the PocketPC.
Go developers, go!

The purpose of this thread is ti inform developers that the A2DP software is out there.
I've had no confirmation from the relevant developers to this effect.
Hey ! Wow !
Ok slightly off-topic, but this could be a really big thing for me. I work with the disabled, providing speech recognition technology for those unable to use a keyboard. We tried out a bluetooth headset solution about a year ago, but the sound quality wasn't good enough for the speech recognition to work well.
Some of these people are unable to use a wired headset for a variety of reasons (limb spasms etc). We eventually went for plantronics wireless headset, but I'd love to see another solution.
My questions are:
1) Will the A2DP profile work in either direction (ie can we get high quality sound from the headset to the PC)
2) Are there any headsets out there that do this ? (I had a look at the Bluetake site, but the dongle only seems to be sending sound out to the headset, not the other way)
3) If there aren't any headsets out there that do this, and I'm beginning to suspect there aren't, would anyone with more knowledge of the subject than me like to hazard a guess if there will be one in the future ?
Sorry, I know this isn't exactly XDA related, but an answer could make someone very happy.
Totallytechie.

If it doesn't, I'm sure the software can be modified to do it.

Is mono sound not good enough for voice recognition?

I got the impression (not sure where) that the difference between normal headset sound and A2DP sound quality was approximately the difference between 8KHz & 16KHz sampling; the better the sound quality, the better the accuracy of speech recognition.

I kind of get the impression it's not a mature technology. It may be that I have to wait for it to mature. Alternatively this may be a niche market, in which case I need to find out who's working in the niche.
Feel like a real noob to ask this, but I bought a bluetooth htc stereo headset, but when I try to use equalizer, it wont start? Is there a "hack" to make it run with a2dp and not only with cabeled headset?
cheers

Maybe you should give SRS WOW HD a try.
You can find it HERE.
Equalizer doesn't seem to really work, but SRS WOW is a great tool!
equalizer is crappy, but it was the only eq I knew of..until now. I will test this, thx man.
Im a musician, and sound is quite important (yeah I know, kaiser is not THE musicplayer) and since I do have a a2dp headset, its nice to be able to adjust sound.
I cant understand why HTC didnt include some eq-setings in audiomanager or ms in wmp....
and why didnt they include a toothbrush, dishwasher, screwdriver and a chainsaw? dam those would have been handy
cheers
I thought SRS didn't work over BT...

Hmmm.... I'm afraid you may be right.
I don't have a bluetooth (stereo,A2DP) headset, so I'm not sure.
I have recently bought an HTC Touch cruise. Is there any way to listen to the radio via bluetooth headset? I hate using the wired headset, it's just too cumbersome. Any help would be appreciated.
no, because the headset is your antenna, too.

Thanks. I used the search function on the forum and found many previous discussions on it.
I tried to use google navigation with my Jawbone bluetooth headset and the voice of the lady that gives you turn by turn directions are coming out of the phone speaker, not through my headset.
is there a setting I'm missing to get it to come through the headset instead of the phone speaker?
I checked in the google navigation and found nothing, nor in the settings > wireless & network > bluetooth...
Thanks in advance.
can anyone help me out with this?
thanks.

oh... well that's not very convenient...
that also explains why music don't go to my headset either... huh.
you know, actually, that's kind of stupid now I think about it.
who the heck at HTC decide on that? I mean, who drives with a stereo bluetooth headset on? it's illegal!
speaker on our phones aren't that loud to begin with. having the turn by turn direction come trough on the headset would have been beneficial...
go figure.
I hope they add an option so this is possible on the update(if we ever get it).
anyway, thank you very much for the info.

stupid if you ask me. who the heck drives around with a stereo headset...
I mean sure, I guess it's fine to work with a handsfree carkit and/or patched through your bluetooth enabled car stereo but if you have your window down while driving, it's still hard to hear.
they need to come up with an option on the phone setting for either stereo or mono bluetooth connectivity.

Well thats not actually true. Make sure your next Bluetooth has Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP). It doesnt have to be stereo, it can be monural, mine is. All of mine are actually. If it has A2DP it it will say it on the box. A lot of jawbones have that feature but i've noticed it buggy with the sensation. When a headset has A2DP, when it connects to the phone it connects as phone audio and media audio. With the sensation for me, on multiple jawbones (jawbone and jambox) it only connects both audio sources when it initially pairs. The next time it connects it only connects as phone audio. I have to unpair the jawbone then pair it again and media audio will work. I've updated the firmware on both of my jawbones and it didn't help. Maybe a fix is comin, who knows. Doesnt look like TmoUS is gonna get one any time soon
OP What model jawbone do you have? If it has A2DP then unpair it and re-pair it, it should work then.

hey, thank you for the info.
that just solved it right there. A2DP...
I own a Jawbone 2. I don't think this unit has A2DP.
I guess it's time to upgrade to a new headset.
hate to give it up though... I really like how it looks, hangs on the ear(fits my ear perfect, can't even tell sometimes I have it on), and sounds.
guess I'm off to shop for either a new Jawbone(if they fit my ear right) or a new brand altogether.
anyway, thanks again.
Plain and simple your bluetooth has to support media playing thru it
Okay I just got my sensation back from HTC for the 3rd time and still having the same problem where I have a bad echo and the background noise that is making this phone useless to me,I can't believe that only a few people have complained of this,do you guys not use your bluetooth,I have tried multiple headsets and even different phones and I knoew it's the phone,another question is how many times do I send it in before I'm offered something else,could rooting the phone clear up this problem?

I use my Motorola S9 HD headset all the time with my sensation. I don't have any problems. What rom are you using?

Have you gone to an actual store to test out the bt? I have used the following bluetooth headsets without an issue:
Plantronics Pulsar 590A
Jabra Pro 9470
Blueant S4
Jabra Icon
Jabra Era
Sony Ericsson MW600
As you can see, various headsets and bluetooth speaker phone units. All work and no echo that callers have indicated to me.
Sorry, you may need a different rom/headset combo. I am running the Coredroid 2.4 with stock kernel. I am not saying that you won't have a problem, but I have to say to go to an actual store and test the bluetooth pairiing there.
