Right, anyone still interested in A2DP?

HP's bluetoth headphone are out.
They're only compatible with certain HP models.

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?

Hmmm. Not by me, sadly.

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.

Is it possible to pair 2 cellphones and use only one headset?

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...

which and wear did you get it?

I ended up buying the samsung's stock headset. I think the solution would be the samsung official adapter and a 3.5mm headset

If you still would like to have Sennheiser you can get the MM-50 Nokia
They work, answering calls also works in a word it works like a stock headset but the sound is better (imho)

well im looking for something i ca n get at my local best buy. I still have he samsung opens and they are sealed. I just hate using then as they start to hurt my ears

I'm using the MW600 with Sennheiser CX300 headphones.
Works well.

I use my CX300-II without any adapter. With the Hardcore Speedmod kernel I'm able to use the phone's mic to speak.

those dont look like they have a mic, i found 2 at bestbuy Bose MIE2 and Monster's Mobile JAMZ but yes you gotta shell out $149
I think i will have to shell out 20 bucks for this and use my skullcanandy mic'd

How do you manage the wire when you are not using it?
Wrap it around the phone?

SteelSeries Siberia Neckband should work with the Galaxy S standard? or do you need a Iphone converter as wel. I love the sound on those headphones, but I am kindof a bassaddict. Any thoughts on this?

+1 MW600 plus your choice of headphones.

If you would like to opt for headphones from a well-established and pioneer company, then the best option you have is to search for them online as that may help you to compare and get the best features which you are looking suitable to your needs. So, search for the headphones online.

Hi guys... Just thought I'd throw my bit in. If your after a decent bluetooth headset I recommend a set "Arctic Cooling" P311. I have had these for about a month now and they are great.
Mic in earpiece does a good job and sound quality is 4.5 out of 5. Only thing is using bluetooth doesn't allow me to use voodoo sound which would be a plus (need to plug in jack). I have made numerous phone calls with them and the people on the other end have no trouble at all hearing me. Thay also wrap around the back of your head and i have been jogging with them as well. So all round decent headset with all the features you need. God I sound like I'm pitching for them lol....... Anyways they go for about $45 buck and can get straight from their website.

Navigation turn by turn voice to bluetooth?

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

Working Headsets with microphone?.....

Im using some skullcandy aviators and it has a mic on it (I believe) but the bigger issues for me is that the buttons for volume and song control don't work do you guys know of any headsets with mics that work. I just hate having to hold my phone in my hand if im moving around, listening to music, then get a call so that I can talk through the speaker on the phone. Any help would be appreciated.

No,my htc headeset doesn't work right either.

I seen some Android headphones in radioshack the other day but Im wondering if theres some kind of app to give us funtionality?? I doubt it but I can hope I guess

The problem is that the Atrix 2 uses the new OMTP 3.5 mm jack which has the ground and the mic switch compared to a standard 3.5 mm jack. In order to have a functioning mic you would need an OMTP compatible headset or find an adapter.
I have had problems finding either...but finally found one made by nox audio (but can't find a place that actually sells it) and one made by blueant which you can order from their website (it is a spare part for their over ear headphone). I plan to buy one and try it and see if it works.

Ok great im going to look into it too, thanks for your answer

My headset seems to work just fine.
It can pick-up/hang-up phone calls. And when not in a phone call, the "answer" button activates the voice search.
They are JVC...I'll have to look tomorrow to see exactly what model.
