Your best bet is probably using your Bluetooth. We have bought HC-05 bluetooth serial port profile (SPP) for communication over bluetooth (ebay HC-05 and you'll find it). BT is a kind of interesting protocol in that the BT module itself can handle as much or as little as it wants. In our case, it handles handshaking and pairing as well as a few other things but it only has firmware for serial ports. If you want something else like an HID profile you will want to find a different module.
As for doing it without an application, that's rather difficult if not impossible. Why not just write a Service that listens in on SMS broadcasts (no different than writing a simplistic SMS app) and then transmitting it over your Bluetooth connection (which will also be managed by your service).
Edit: I should specify that you don't need an HC-05 module. We were just using it to pair and RECEIVE messages from our phone. In the case of android just use the standard BT interface provided by android.

can i manage the device with bluetooth?

Which device. The phone or the HC-05. Anyway if I recall, yes you can. You'll have to read the data sheet but I THINK you can put AT commands over the BT connection. Dont take my word on that though. As for controlling ur android device from the HC-05, yea. Just listen to the serial port on ur phone app and do whatever depending on the incoming serial stream.

Handle call through PC

Hey guys-
I'm running My Mobiler to output the display, and control my phone (Tilt/Kaiser/TytnII/8925) via my PC (XP sp2).
When I receive a call, My Mobiler allows me to accept/reject/sms etc through my pc (really through my phone dialer but I'm using my keyboard and mouse), but when I want to accept the call, and talk to my caller, I'm having to pickup the phone, and resort to what I'll call 'untethered' phone use (i.e., phone to ear/BT headset).
What I'd like to do (and hopefully where you guys can help me out) is to use some method or software to relay the call through my PC (and use my pc's built in speakers & mic). Bonus if the method leverages something I'm already running (ActiveSync/My Mobiler).
Additional info:
BT is an option, but it's Toshiba stack, which from my researching doesn't' seem to support the Headset profile on PC.
Thanks
well if your pc has bluetooth it should be able to work....i have a usb to bluetooth adapter for my pc and i can get the audio going to it never tired to use a mic or use my pc as a speaker phone but 1 thing for sure the audio from calls go on my pc....if i had a mic i would test it out...also as another option(if your phone has it.) u could just use speaker phone...

What's the make/model of the USB BT you're using?
Mine is:
Toshiba Bluetooth Stack for Windows
Version v5.10.15
When I pair up the profiles displayed on the tilt are:
A2DP: Advanced Audio Distribution Profile
SPP: Serial Port Profile
The profiles in the Toshiba BT manager are:
DUN: Dial-Up Networking Profile
LAP: LAN Access Profile
If I use my BT headphones (Sonorix C3) with MortPlayer, A2DP works, If I try to use the Toshiba USB BT it doesn't work.
I think the one I need is (either)
HSP: Headset Profile
or
HFP: Handsfree Profile
I'm suspecting the toshiba bt stack is to blame, anyone else able to use a toshiba stack and get HSP/HFP working on their PC?
Im currently using My Mobiler to use my VOX due to having removed the broken screen from its shell
whenever i take a call, all i do is put it on speakerphone and it works fine
using the computers speakers and mic would be great fun, but for me its impossible due to the bluetooth dongle i use not having any compatible (free) software that uses audio streaming, but if it did, audio streaming should work with both speakers AND a mic! so it should in theory work.
i think

Speakerphone isn't an option, I'm in an office and the sharing of my conversation with my coworkers via loud speaker wouldn't be appreciated.
I intend to use a headset+mic combo hooked up to my pc, this way I can listen to music off my pc, and handle calls.
flow would be:
[Phone]<--display&control(via My Mobiler)-->[KVM - PC]
[Phone]<--voice*(Need solution here)*-->[MIC & Headset - PC]
Salling Clicker Is on the road to what I'd like to do, although it doesn't have voice support under windows. It's on the road to PPC <> PC convergence.
Any one have any experience with tweaking Salling Clicker to work with voice?

When I paired my MDA Vario III with my notebook (HP TC4200 Tablet PC running a Broadcomm BT stack) I had a "Voice gateway" service available from my phone. This is in addition to DUN and Network Access Point services. Basically when I PC and phone connect my PC acts as a BT speakerphone.
I've not used the setup that often but it seems to work pretty well. When 1st connected a pop up briefly appears to inform me that the "Call Monitor" is active and that's it til a call comes in. At that point a notification gets displayed saying the number or callerID with buttons for "Accept & "Reject". If I take the call, or transfer and active call to the BT headset then my PC picks up the call.
By default my notebook uses its built in loudspeaker and microphone. However I can also pair my PC with a BT headset then route all sounds through it. It's a bit of a faff though as I have to change the active sound device to whatever headset is connected. I also need to connect the PC and eadset 1st if the headset is also paired with the phone, otherwise the real BT headset may take the call instead of the "virtual" one (notebook). I haven't tried this with my BT stereo headset though, only my conventional mono...
Whilst playing during a particularly boring teleconference I also discovered that I can record the calls and pass the sound through a text to speech converter supplied with the PC... the results of the latter are more for entertainment than serious use, althoug I suppose with some training it might be better...
I also use Salling Clicker. The phone events work pretty well, but to date I've yet to take a call using the PC whilst it is running.
Not sure if this helps in your case, but it seems like what you want to do is definitely possible.
Fatman it's like you've taken a page right out of my book. What software are you using for speech to text? This could make for a useful and entertaining audit trail... Sounds like I need to pickup a new BT adapter based on the Broadcomm stack. If anybody has had any luck using the Toshiba stack, please share.

I'm not sure if the program is available as separate software. It's called "Microsoft English Recognizer" and was pre-installed on my notebook. I have no idea how it compares to any other programs. I've only playted around with it very briefly as a way of killing time during a boring teleconference!
However, I can't see why any program couldn't be used as the sound from the phone is available to any software as the BT stream from the phone becomes the default input sound feed.
One thing I will definitely be trying next time is recording the call whilst taking notes using Tablet Enhancements for Outlook. THis basically augments the normal MS Outlook Journal functions so I can take handwritten notes which can be edited, commented, and then later searched. If you record the microphone feed (i.e. the phone call in my case) the notes are then linked into "timeline" of the call so you can see what notes were taken when, and conversely what happened in the call when you took a particular note... should be useful if it works...
Let me know if you need any additional info about BT stack versions and drivers etc but it does sound like you'd need the Broadcomm stack - ISTR reading that the Brioadcomm stacks on some PocketPCs have laways performed better than the MS equivalents, and it appears that the same if true for PCs too... The BT on my notebook is far more reliable, and flexible than that on my work PC which uses an MS BT dongle. However, that may be due to the fact that the BT on my notebook is built in and not USB...
Good luck!

interesting question possibley a stupid one

hello everyone i have question or maybe an idea for a talented dev i was wondering if it is possible to emulate a key fob (for a car alarm) using a windows mobile phone
Not the standard 433MHz transmitter.
But it would be possible to achieve similar with Bluetooth. Then you have to integrate a bluetooth receiver into your car alarm. Using serial communication you would then transmit lock/unlock commands. It would also be possible to auto-pair when in range and unlock the car automatically.

All thing are very "Techi" to me but if it possible then its defiantly proud to be WM user.
Anyway is it working with any other handsets...?
The Chevy Volt is suppossed to have an iPhone and BlackBerry app that will allow that, so yes its definitely possible. But their sollution may rely on 3G connectivity on both ends, I'm not sure.
" But their sollution may rely on 3G connectivity on both ends, I'm not sure."
if that is the case then the car would have to have a sim card too
otherwise you don't get a 3g connection more likely it's wifi based
In theory, you could use one of the phones with a USB port, with an adapter to 433 MHz to read in the pairing, then re-pair with a car.
But directly pair with a standard car-fob arrangement without additional hardware, no.

[REQ] Possible Bluetooth App

Wondering if there's a way to make my Evo behave as a Bluetooth headset so I can connect it to my PS3 when I go online. I always seem to lose my BT headset and would be great if I can use my Evo and broadcast it over its external speaker. I've tried searching in the Market and on the net for an apparently that would allow us to do that. I would imagine since our phone is BT ready, it would be easy to cook up an app to allow this function. Problem is I have zero app developing experience.

i think the playstation's Bluetooth works a bit different then normal? I think this because of the way you need to pair the controller on PC bluetooth dongles. It's not as simple as a regular bluetooth device.

Well, out of the box, if the Evo offered a BT service as a "headset" then it wouldnt be a problem. You can use any bluetooth headset on the PS3 as long as you have the sync pin, ya know.
So it sounds possible, but I'm not a developer either so I don't know for sure.

One click - Connect 2 Specific Bluetooth device for A2DP and Phone app

An amazing One click - Connect 2 Specific Bluetooth device for A2DP and Phone app:
Bluetooth Pair
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gnssoftworks.bluetoothpair
found it very useful for swapping bluetooth headphones between devices WITHOUT turning off Bluetooth entirely or going into the settings menu.
Example Use Case:
I have one Stereo Bluetooth headset with mic (two profiles - phone and A2DP audio)
I have one Android Phone and one Android Tablet.
Phone Profile is always connected to the Android Phone, but the A2DP audio changes depending on which device you want to listen to music from.
Normally, if you want to listen to audio from the Tablet when your headset's A2DP profile is connected to the phone, you'd have to first go to the settings menu of the phone, and disconnect the A2DP, leaving Phone Profile connected. Then go to the settings menu on your tablet and connect the A2DP only.
Then you'd have to do the opposite if you want to listen to audio from the Phone again.
Takes a long time.
With Bluetooth Pair, you can specifically connect or disconnect to a specific device and specific profile (phone / a2dp) by widgets.
So you won't have to turn off the bluetooth completely on one device just to allow your headset to connect another device. Nor do you need to go into settings anymore.
1.) Just tap on the A2DP device specific widget on the phone to disconnect, the A2DP Profile from the phone
2.) go to the Tablet, and tap on the A2DP device specific widget to connect the A2DP profile of the headset to the Tablet
Two taps!
Would you mind sharing a code snippet on how you achieve this? I've been working on a little program that I intend to use around the house and this is the missing piece that I can't figure out. Basically, I have some NFC tags spread around the house and a receiver app that triggers various actions. One of them enables bluetooth on my device (if off), turns on my home audio receiver (over telnet), connects to the receiver's A2DP device (this is the missing piece), and launches a music app.
I've seen examples where this works using an AIDL method, but from what I've gathered this no longer works under Android 4.2. Does your app work on 4.2? Any hints you can provide?
Thanks!
Brian
I'm not the writer of this app.
You could try contacting them via the email listed on Google Play.
BTW, while you're making your app, please dedicate a thread to it on XDA so we can all beta test and buy it later!

Oh, OK. I just assumed this was your app.
After reading the Play Store description more carefully, I don't think this app actually does what I'm trying to do (programmatically establish an A2DP connection). It appears this app enables / disables certain profiles but the actual connection is still handled by the OS.
As far as the app I'm making, I was intending it to just be something for personal use. I'm planning on keeping it very lightweight and tailored specifically to my needs. For it to be used by anyone else they would have to have the same brand of A/V receiver as me (Pioneer) that supports the same telnet commands. Most of the rest of the functionality of the app can be duplicated by using some of the existing NFC apps like NFC Task Launcher. If I ever develop it into something interesting that could be used by a wider audience I probably will post it on XDA for feedback though.

Use Windows PC as handsfree/speakerphone for calls with Android phone

I am referring to attached screenshot which is from a tutorial on Youtube, at https://youtu.be/q2_Q_m7hGxs (at 02:54)
In the tutorial instructions are given for making calls with a mobile phone (presumably Android since the model shown is an HTC EVO) through a PC's microphone and speakers. So in other words, instead of using the phone's own speaker and mic, or a connected headset, all audio goes through the PC.
Note the option "Headset and speakers" in the screenshot.
I have tried to replicate this with my Windows 7 Pro and Xperia Z4 to no avail. No such option is available.
Does anyone here know what the missing part is? Does this functionality depend on the Bluetooth stack installed on the PC? If yes, does anyone know any stack that offers this functionality? If it isn't the bluetooth stack, then what is it?
Thanks.
For posterity, in case anyone else needs this information. I found a solution slightly different from what I first wanted but which may be even better. Details below. But first a word on the original solution I was attempting. Android does not support this. Nevertheless, some Bluetooth stacks on Windows implement this, somehow fooling Android into believing that the connection is to a bluetooth headset, not to a PC. The stack that was mentioned here and there is the one from Widcomm. I tried installing this on my PC but failed.
And here is the solution I settled on eventually. Instead of messing around in Windows, I bought a bluetooth hands-free device designed to be used in cars. Only that I also use it on my desk. And even in the kitchen when I'm busy there. The model I bought is the Jabra Freeway but there are others. Works like a charm. Why it's better than what I wanted: because I can use it everywhere, including in my car where I also listen to podcasts and YouTube talks on the thing. And also because it allows me to conference parties on Skype (on my existing PC setup) with parties that call me on my phone, the traditional way.
I've combined this with a software called Just Remote Phone to control my phone from Windows. Perfect! (www.justremotephone.com)
