This will install newest bt stack.
I should also ask which ROM you're using. The newer ROMs seem to be a lot better.
I'd also like anyone who could to tell me which BT stack is included on the newer ROMs, like Nitro or vjgrace.

my ROM is WM6 by vjgrace v3.4

Again I could describe my Nokia BH-101 BT headset with handsfree functionality on WM6 by vjgrace v3.5. It works nice as headset i can hera incoming calls, answer them, call last dialed number. But I CAN NOT make it start voice calling, due to device itself - it does sounds special tone that means that voice dial is started, but my phone does not recognise it. by the way useing celetask - there is special feature - that alows you to redirect all sound to headset and it work. As for me i don't need it (you are to have special BT Headset for listening to music. This headset generates rather bad sound(but not voice).
So again
I can do:
makle calls,
answer calls,
dial last dialed call.
swap and hold calls.
I can not do:
make voice dial
any voice commands
What are the problems:
Everytime I answer the call not by the headset but via the phone it looses the connection with headset, so i need to restart BT service (or headset).
It happens even if I answer by headset but during the call i need to speak via phone then i press right softkey and choose "turn handsfree off" and aain phone looses the headset
In this case I I make new call but in right soft key menu "turn handsfree on" is not active
If it's possible to make phone speak contact's name litterally during incoming call so i could know who is calling me.

IRC, voice dialling with WM phones is a bit of a problem. I seem to recall reading about this somewhere in the XDA-Dev forums.
On my headset, the function that calls for redial is the same for voice dial (wtf? I know.) It always redials.
As for the speaking of the contacts' names, it should be possible... if your phone can speak the contacts' recorded voice names w/o BT.

w: app to make handset act as bluetooth headset

Does an app exist that will allow me to use my Android handset as a bluetooth headset for another phone? Use case: my hated work Blackberry in my pocket rings, and I'd like my Desire to mute what I'm listening to, alert me that the other phone is ringing and let me use the Desire to pick up the call.

Get a google voice and both phones will ring. You can seperate contacts to recive different voicemails just in case you don't answer in time that way nobody knows the difference. All your work emails will still goto the blackberry. The only difference is you can answer from both phones.

Actually I have a similar request. I have a motorbike and a navigation set on it. To this navigation set I can connect a bluetooth headset.
What I would like is using my HTC Desire as a bluetooth headset, since that is already in my pocket. Then I could just put the phone in my pocket, earpieces in and connect to the navigation system without the need of an additional bluetooth headset.
Any ideas? Is it even possible technically or does the phone need to have some special bluetooth profile for this to work?

+1 for an app like that. Would be awesome to connect my android device to my stereo and use my mac to stream audio to it!

I am very interested in this too as I would like to connect my phone to my pc and make phone act like a bluetooth headset so I can sit back and watch movies at night .

[Q] WP7, what you can control with your headset

Hi,
It's hard for me to even find a title that makes sense for this thread since I'm not a native English speaker. I struggled also on where to post this one, so i hope I did it right.
I've been searching for a better quality headset replacement for my Trophy since the HTC ones not only fall from one of my ears but the sound quality and isolation leaves a lot to be desired. That said, they at least have the functionality of controlling the volume and answer-end a call.
So actually I have 2 questions:
1) The HTC headset allows to answer/end a call plus volume control. Some Samsung focus users reported that they can skip tracks by double or triple pressing the answer button. Now I wonder if these functionalities are Hardware or OS dependant. Is there any documentation on what WP7 is capable of handling?
2) Does anyone know of a higher quality alternative to HTC's headset (wired), with at least the same functionality, but proved to work on HTC WP7 devices? (I've seen recommendations on Android HTCs but I rather not assume they work in WP7 devices, too much money to be wrong )
Thanks in advice

The best thing for you to do, would be to get a set of Bluetooth (A2DP) headphones. These will also include the microphone so you can listen to music, control the music player (skip track, play/pause, etc) and take calls.
With anything else except the HTC headset, I don't think you can do anything but listen to music.
EDIT: Another advantage of Bluetooth headset is universal compatibility- they'll work with just about any phone/computer with bluetooth

i would also recomend an bluehoot headset.
im using the nokia bluethoot stereo headset
http://www.pixmania.com/ch/de/2478328/art/nokia/bluetooth-stereo-headset.html
it works with calling, music scipping, play, pause

I'm using SE MW600 with mango and everything perfect,
able to control music, accept the incoming call, use voicecall, speed dial , display the caller-id and song name.
and the most important..
It's can use you own headphone.

Using the Nokia BH-503 and it works like a charm also.

For reference the headset I use is the Samsung SBH-650, it lets you use your own headphones too which is excellent for me as I wear glasses so the annoying neck-or-headband style that BT headphones normally are doesn't work for me

Thank you all for your replies.
I'm particularly interested in SE MW600 first and the Samsung SBH-650 as an alternative, because they allow you to use whatever headphones you like best. The first seems to have killer features, especially the display. The second seems to be cheaper, which is always good .
EDIT: Actually I've found the SE to be cheaper than the Samsung...

What WP7 device do you got?

Just reporting back that the SE MW600 works like a charm just as Perlnx described.
Thanks for the advice!

Jabra bt headset not working with skype

Hi
I have connected a jabra bt2015 headset to my ics tf101 but no sound comes out of it. I looked into the settings and it said something about 'phone audio' as an available profile. apparently sometimes this says 'media' is an available profile too.
Does anyone know how I can make this bt device available for media? It's only mono as it's an in-ear phone type headsetty thing which I'm guessing might have something to do with it.
I want to use it for skype, which has a little bluetooth icon when I'm in call which supposedly allows me to select my headset for skype chat but it instantly reverts back to speakers as soon as I select it. I'm wondering if the skype application wants a 'media profile' headset and not a phone one?
Anyone else had similar issues?
Thanks.

voice assistant over a headset bluetooth?

Hi,
I've just sold my G3 and the more I read the more I like the idol 3.
But I have one concern I can not solve.
as a motorbike rider I need to be able o initiate calls from the headset on the helmet.
does any one have tested this.
use the headset not just for paying music but also to start the voice assistant and say things like "call dad". "text carla" "play all songs"
The really important part is the calling texting is just for change the command.
can any one try that?
Thank you

Just to be more specific, are your headset for a motorbike helmet? which ones? cardo, btxnet....

No they aren't; one is a taotronics earphone, other is an LG tune pro headset and the other one is a sennheiser headphone. I click a button and just talk with Google Now. I have this app setup to allow Google Now (instead of stock voice calls) to be my voice assistant. The app is called BT Gnow. Is great for handsfree operations specially when I'm running cable drops... With Google Now you get over 100 voice commands and with BT Gnow you can do it with the screen off via Bluetooth.

Using BT Gnow does google's response come back through the bluetooth speakers? When in my car I can say "ok google, call xxxx at home" and it will but I can hear it responding from the phone but the sound doesn't come through the car's audio...once the phone call starts ringing the sound DOES come through the speakers.

Google response is heard via Bluetooth and not the cellphone: So say I have my LG headset paired, I can talk and hear everything from my LG headset using Google now.

One more question.
finally I bought the idol 3 and I'm loving it.
but with the headset when I press the button to activate voice recognition
I've got a grey screen that sais something like "starting" or "inizializing" (sorry my phone is configured in spanish)
