Hi all,
I really tried to find a thread relating to this but couldn't. I have a Sharp Aquos Crystal GSM version with Android 4.4.2. I want to connect my phone to laptop using Bluetooth or Wi-Fi and then make calls via laptop using my laptop's speaker and mic. I know there is an app called Airdroid but it doesn't use PC's speaker and mic which makes me wonder why does it even exist.
An old Nokia with Symbian S60V3 was able to do it using Nokia's PC Client.
I am kinda bummed that it is not possible in Android (I tried to search on google as well.)
Sorry if I am posting on wrong forum.
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks!
I can't believe there's no response! Someone oughtta know!

Hi guys,
I'm having a hard time trying to solve this
On my PC, Win7 x64 PRO, I have BlueTooth dongle, and my HTC Sensation connected to it. I can easily transfer files from one device to another, but I would like to use my headset and microphone to talk on them when my Sensation receives call, or place call.
I have very old HP laptop (3 yrs old), and it has BT in it. When I connect Sensation to it, it works flawless. When someone calls me, I get a popup from Windows Media Player, and there I can answer and talk via headset and built in mic on laptop.
What do I need to do here?! I really need this more that file transfer =)
In device propertis of my phone connected to pc I can test and check my mic and speaker settings for using them as bridge for voice calls, but I cant use it.
Thnx.
Nobody?!

Hey!
Not sure if this question has been asked before - a search didn't yield any results. I'm using a 5.1 set (logitech z-5500) for general audio purposes. I've already got a few devices attached to it. I'd love to have a way to connect my phone as well.
does anyone know of a bluetooth device that can pair with a phone, upmix the stereo to 5.1 and then connect through a surround set physically? (SPDIF, optical or 3x3.5mm jack)? If so, please point me in the right direction, I'd love to find this!
If it only outputs stereo, that would be fine too, but prefer 5.1
Thanks!

I have a Blue Snowball mic and JBL Pebble speakers connected to my PC (actually Macbook Air running Win 7) via a USB hub. I use this combination for Skype calls. I also have an Xperia Z4 and would love to be able to use the mic/speaker combo with that as well, for phone calls. Is there any way at all to make this work?

If you want to use something externally for calling, your options are Bluetooth or devices that connect to your headphone jack. USB on android is for charging and data transfer. I don't think audio works over USB on android.

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)
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.
