Hi,
I have this dumb question If I have 2 cellphones, can they anyhow be paired via bluetooth so I can use one of them as the "main headset"? I mean we can use bluetooth to pair a phone to a "stereo headset", so why cant I make a phone act as a stereo headset?
It might be useless for somepeople but for people carrying 2 phones, they can leave one lying around and just carry one in which to receive the main calls and also use it as a bluetooth headset for the other phone.
Any ideas if its possible and if so why hasnt it be done already?
Thanks!
can you pair 2 phones so that you are sharing internet from one phone to another over bluetooth?
anyone has any input?

If I understand correctly, it sounds like you want a Bluetooth device that pairs with multiple phones? If so, there are products on the market that do just that.
If not, perhaps you could rephrase the question...

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.
Anyone bought one before for use w/ the Eris? Looking to use this for audio to home stereo or car aux input but also not have to unplug it to use the phone. This way I can use it as hands free in the car. I've found this one for $10.99
http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=41130&cat=3811
and this one for $9.99
http://www.thinksamsungcaptivate.com/samsung-captivate-wired-headsets-10329.html
but it says it's for the Samsung Captivate.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Cool find. Exactly what I have been looking for. I haven't used it or known anyone that has, but I'm probably going to buy it just to try it out. I'll report back with findings unless someone beats me to it.
I personally use a standard line (no mic) keep the phone on my lap and am able to have conversations as if I am wearing a blue tooth headset. Although if this is for your car stereo you do have to take into consideration of the stereo volume cause the conversation can echo back to the person that you are talking to

For some reason that doesn't work for me. I tried it but have to unplug the cord to talk. I can hear them just fine but they can't hear me (no music on either) That's why I started looking for this. I wonder if it's a setting on the phone somewhere...

Assuming that you didnt hit the mute button on the phone, there may be other factors that are giving people on the other end problems hearing you.
a) is your phone rooted? if so, what rom are you using?
Check with the dev who created the rom. Could be possible that you have a older rom version. One of the last updates that VZW pushed out to the eris was for the "sound bug" If you are using a older rom, it could be a possibility that the update was not "cooked" in cause of the date of the ROM. You will see more DEVs stating in their ROM descriptions that is has the recent updates. Using one of thoser ROM may fix that.
b) if your phone is not rooted then is all the updates installed? You can check by doing the following
menu - settings - about phone - system updates
c) depending on where your phone is placed, (ie my lap), seat belts, clothes or some thign else is blocking the phones microphone.
d )slim chance but any chance that the people who can not hear you are only eris users them selves? If yes then see a) and b)
I just use the phone itself as the microphone and the audio routes over the stereo. But of course we don't have laws against talking on the phone here.
Wow, nobody posts in this particular forum. Well, I was just thinking about this type of product today, and seeing it on the forum, I had to buy 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?

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.

Are any of the Bluetooth handsfree car kits any good? I just tried the Motorola Roadster 2 and it is totally crap. Tinny, staticty, basically unable to be heard or understood on the other end.

I've got the GROM-IPD3 in my '04 Volvo S60R. I added the bluetooth addition and use A2DP to stream audio. Alternatively you could use the 3.5mm jack, it has an adapter for it. I also use it to charge the phone. The GROM-USB is more for iphone users, as it will allow you to view the song text on th radio. They claim this doesn't work in Android yet, but will be enabled soon via Bluetooth with our devices since they're AVRCP 1.4+. The bluetooth addition also comes with a microphone so you can place calls over it as well. Works pretty well honestly.

I decided to just keep my simcard on my tab and was wondering if there was any way we can pair our bluetooth phone to the tab to answer calls? I've been just using the speakerphone for now.
Would be nice if we could use a bluetooth phone to answer calls from the tablet.
The only option we have so far is either a bluetooth handsfree device or a pocket talker ( Samsung HM5000 Pen Type Bluetooth 3.0 Headset).
Are you asking about Bluetooth earphones or a Bluetooth - enabled cordless phone? Certainly the earphones will work. If it's a phone you're asking about, and I guess it will depend on whether that phone has unusual requirements.
