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 !

Bluetooth headset.

What bluetooth headsets will work with the touch diamond?

other question: why should there be any headsets not working?
i have a really cheap but nice looking samsung headset, no problem to get paired with the diamond. should work with any other headset, too!?

My existing is just a cheap iTouch bluetooth headset and it works perfectly.
I don't think Diamond has any problem to work with other brands.

I have an old Motorola Bluetooth headset (4 Years) and it will not pair with my Diamond. Looks like its time to upgrade to a Jawbone!! hehehe

i have the jabra bt3030
its a stereo bluetooth headset working on A2DP
works great and looks awesome!!

So can I listen to music through any bluetooth headset (that has headsets to play music)?

My Plantronics P590 works like a charm

Theres a app called btAudio (keep a google-eye open for newer versions) that does exactly this, it will send ALL sound to the headset, despite of what windows had in mind for the sound (as in if it was gonna use headset or build-in speaker)
Tho, it sometimes chokes when you dont shut down the app before you disable the bluetooth headset or phones bluetooth function, but i guess that kinda makes sense (its even sayd in the program to not do that, but im a sucker for trying such things hehe)
And another thing, this happend for me too (taken from comments on some site, linked below)
The program runs well however if you try to make a phone call with the blue tooth ear piece while the program is active the program is not available after the call is completed.
I had to reset my phone to enable the program again. - source of comment
Guess thats related to windows not being to happy theres multiple apps using the headset, lets hope for a next version which auto-disables when calling and re-enables when u hang up.

I'm waiting for this one (Jabra BT530, due end August according to Play.com)...
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/16778.htm
Got the manual that Jabra put up on their support site for a day or two before taking it off. Manual says it also supports A2DP and can stream music.

And what about battery life? Could somebody using bluetooth stereos write how long the Diamond can last, and what is the overall impact on battery life while listening to music?

I use this headset, its got very good sound and is also nice and comfortable, since i have my tragus peirced i cant wear "normal" headphones!
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-DRBT20...6?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1216998998&sr=8-6
It also works on my pc and my PS3 as a wireless headset/mic!

I have proper enclosed stereo headphones Dell DH-200 with volume control, next and previous track plus play/pause buttons and it all works fine with HTC DT. The only think I am not sure about is which profile it is using, the sound is not as good as when I have it paired with my laptop, which would suggest a low speed profile as opposed to HQ.

You can change the bluetooth profile in Schap's Advanced Config. I've set bitpool to 70, max to 76 and min to 64. Now the sound quality is waaay better.

I can't connect my Jabra 320's (worked with SE W880i) to BT Stereo, it only see's the headphones as a handsfree unit on the HTC

Jawbone. Nothing else comes close (for hands free anyway!). And the new one even matches the Diamond... sort of!

Has anyone suffered the sound periodically dropping out for a second or two, mainly during the first minutes of connection but still persisting now and again several tracks down the playlist?

Sony Ericsson MW600

Just been reading that the MW600 works on the Nexus One, but not sure about the Desire ?
Also, is it possible to get the song info displayed using either the built in media player, or a third party one ?

MW600 works on my desire fine for calls, i have not tried music to be displayed

Thanks. Does the music player work fine with it also (excluding display) ?

Please report if music is stuttering. I prefer to use bluetooth headsets for music, but if the A2DP stuttering issues are not fixed yet, I am staying away from them.

Can anyone confirm that the headset shows the songtitle on the Desire?
thanks

MW600 works fine as a music player and no stutters as such but i only listen for about 40mins each day. Still having a few issues with song information and odd controls using third party player.

Which third party player shows song information ?

@A|ex : "odd controls using third party player"
What do you mean by that ?
Could you do this functions : next/previous song, play/plause, volume with the mw600 ?

I have a (pre-release) MW-600. I can confirm the songtitles are NOT displayed with any of the pre-installed players. Play, pause, next, prev,ffwd frev do work perfectly and the audio quality is very acceptible once u switched the earbuts (not sure if they'll be better in the retail package).
Also what is NOT currently supported is the 'low latency'-mode (A2DP without error correction). Therefore you can notice that audio and video (or games) are not perfectly in sync (a small audio delay is noticeable).
I am sure Android 1.6 in the Xperia X10 will have these issues covered, since MW600 is shipped together with it in some retail packages - hope SE will be kind enough to share these bluetooth profiles in Froyo ... (or HTC will catch up, afterall HD2 supports all of the mentioned above).

I have seen the X10 used with the MW600, and phonebook lookup does not work on it either.

how do you stream music to MW600? I paired my MW600 to Desire, but when I play music there is no sound in the headset...

I can confirm that SonyEricsson MW-600 bluetooth headset works beautifully with HTC Desire. Tried to see how far away I could play music (through Spotify) and it didn't make any hickups at all about 25 meters away!

i'm also having problems with my MW600
the desire will pair to it, although it never asks for the pin ..but wont connect. so i can't transfer phone audio playback to the headset . useless
think maybe i have a faulty unit.
wont connect to my SE W610i, nor my ps3 ..errors out.
hmmmm
got mine from AccessoryJack ...

It should do it by default if its pair to the device, you can tell if its paid as the bluetooth icon on the phone has small triangles next to the bluetooth icon and hte mw600 has a picture of a phone on to say its paired.
if you play music via default music app or other it will stream/ play to the headphones.
it works with spotify, lastfm, mp3s etc fine.
If someone calls you hear the beep, and it auto holds the music.
Do you have the volume turned up on the device? I changed my headphones for better as the default ear pieces were so uncomfy and cheap.

I was thinking when u use a blue-tooth headset will you lose your FM radio functions?
Because the wire of normal earplugs functions as the antenna for the FM radio?
I'd really want to know this because i listen to the FM radio allot so this is a really important thing to me.

I managed to pair it and stream music (I think battery charge wasn't enough when I was trying to pair it for the first time), quality is pretty good for me...
But I found the following BUG: when I have incoming call while listening to music (I use standard Desire music player), I can't hear caller's voice. If I stop music and call back, than it works fine.
Can somebody test it?

i juz got the MW600 today from mobilecityonline, but i got a few problems...
1) how can i pair MW600 with windows 7?? it keep sayin driver not found...
2) when i paired it with ps3, it doesnt stream any music or video sound at all which the ps3 is playing...
3) how can i get song title display on the screen when i pair it with my X1?? i tried using WMP, CorePlayer, and the experience panal... but all doesnt work...
4) i do c a clock once in a while, but the time is wrong, wat is the excatly buttons to display the clock and set the clock??

This works fine for me using hte standard HTC music player, Do you pair the device to your phone as does it display as being paired on phone and device?
you should here the beeps in your headphones when someone is trying to call.
When they do call it sounds as if htey can hear you but you cannnot hear them, are you sure your using the device mic or the phone mic?
It sounds to me your device is not paired correctly or you have connected device to the phone.

What mode are you using to pair it with windows 7, this is not the win7 forum!
2) when i paired it with ps3, it doesnt stream any music or video sound at all which the ps3 is playing...
Again what mode are you using and have you read the manual? Again this is not a ps3 forum
3) how can i get song title display on the screen when i pair it with my X1?? i tried using WMP, CorePlayer, and the experience panal... but all doesnt work...
Install smartWatchM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=362218), why post about the X1 in the HTC desire forum?
4) i do c a clock once in a while, but the time is wrong, wat is the excatly buttons to display the clock and set the clock??
You will find the answer to the time displaying etc on your other device but not in the HTC desire forum.

[Q] A2DP quality

Hi! I'm interested in buying the Desire Z, but I'm not familiar with the sound quality on A2DP headphones on Android. On WM there are settings like bitpool in the registry that can change the quality a lot, but as far as I read, there are no such settings on Android and the quality is really bad.
Is it true or is there a way to change some settings to improve quality? This is really important to me and I don't think I would be buying a phone that can't play my music properly.

My htc hero and car stereo utilizes A2DP perfectly, streaming audio to car speakers. Have not noticed any bad quality, not åk expert though
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App

Thank you for your reply, I'm hoping that I will be able to hear it myself sometime soon and see how it sounds.
Btw, have you had any disconnects and things like that?

I tested my jabra BT320s on a desire I have access to and the A2DP was spot on, it used the handsfree function aswell without issue pausing the music then carrying on after the call etc...
Am impressed, this was with stock tmobile UK firmware aswell.

Only personal experience
I have to say that when compared to Nokia N900 the a2dp sound quality doesn't seem to be as good. The music sounds somehow thinner. To make these comparisons I have used the same media files, same nokia bh-214 handsfree and same sennheiser mx550 headphones.
I hope it is possible to somehow tweak the a2dp sound quality since i think it's all a question of a2dp audio quality settings.
It has the be said though that in contrast to nokias bluetooth implementation the android one does handle switching from music to phone calls and back quite flawlessly.

[Q] Audio to non A2DP headset

Hi,
I'm wondering if there is any way to stream audio music and/or FM radio from Windows Phone 7 (I have the HTC HD7) to a non A2DP Bluetooth headset (I have the Jabra EasyGO).
It seems that I can only make and receive calls with it.
I've searched all over the place (and web) and cannot find a way to do that.
The only way is to get a new Bluetooth headset with A2DP capability?
Is there is a workaround, please let me know.
Thanks.

I don't know of one. As far as I know, the Headset profile is mono-channel only (plus another channel for the mic) anyhow, and probably quite low bandwidth, so it would likely sound awful.

Thanks for your answer GoodDayToDie.
But I don't mind for quality... Actually I'm not interested to listen for audio.
I just want, for example, to hear drive directions when I'm driving using navigation software (Navigon) instead of hearing from the loudspeaker.

Hmm... I thought the phone *would* use Headset profile for driving directions. Weird. I find the WP7 implementation to be so bad that I prefer to keep using a 4-year-old Garmin Nuvi instead, but I could have sworn I tested it and it came over the BT (and my car only has Headset, not A2DP). Maybe poke around in Settings?
Alternatively, if your car has Aux In, you could use a ripping cable (double-ended headphone cord, they're very cheap) and then the phone will play instructions over the cable into the car's stereo. This is also a great way to use the phone's music player, including Zune Pass if you have it, to play music in the car (I do this all the time). It uses less battery than having Bluetooth transmitting constantly would anyhow.
