Hi all,
I have an Imate, 1.72, and I need to get a bluetooth headset. I heard some brands were not very reliable (Daisy, plantronics, Nokia...) and not compatible with the imate. Could anyone please advise a good choice? The main feature I would be looking for is Reliability and good connectivity. Long talking time is not a must. Thanks in advance for those who shall reply.
is not true !
this is not true. just remember alway to turnon the "bluetooth manager" then the bt device will connect your pda steadily.
just try. this is a simple tweak to use bt with o2 pda. :lol:

Hi All,
Long time viewer, first time poster.
Firstly would like to thank many of you for posting awsome information and providing a great deal of help to people like myself who rely on these places to get the infor required to really enjoy our PDA/Phones
Ok now to the problem
I have an XDA 2S with the latest Rom, i use it for business because of the WiFi and its ability to browse websites and support Putty
However since getting it i have had nothing but problems with using Bluetooth on it , i now have 6 different Bluetooth Brands ranging from Nokia, Ericsson, Blueant and Jabra and to date none have provided me with quality Bluetooth voice...... Well nothing like my Nokia or NEC mobile phones.
The issue i have is that voice is constantly breaking up, even when the phone is like 30cm away from the Bluetooth, i have tried everything but one thing!
And this is where i need to probe the wisdom of some of you
1. Is there a way to upgrade the Bluetooth Drivers on the phone? IF there is can some one direct me to either downloads, Litriture for reading or to any websites that talk about it.
2. Is there a way to upgrade the Bluetooth Firmware from version 1.1 to 1.2? The guy i was speaking with from O2 said that he has heard/seen people do it in some cases was successful and in other cases destroyed the phone to the point where a re-load had to be carried out.
Any infromation on this problem that others can share with me would be greatly appreciated, if anyone else is having this same problem please do share your experience with me and if any work arounds let me know
Mobile Spec's:
O2 XDA 2S
Firmware 1.40
Radio version 1.12
Bluetooth Headset = Nokia HS-26W
If i lack any information please let me know.
Thank you in advance
Cheers,
David.

Hi there,
I've been watching this forum for quite some time now and usualy find al the answers here. But this time I can't...
I recently received my Artemis, and since I'm a Voipbuster user, I would like to use my Artmis as a 'headset' for my PC, connecting via bluetooth, calling over Voip onmy PC, and talking and listening on my Artemis.
Is this possible and how?
Thanks for all the help,

Hi, I think its easy enough to do so. I use to do this with skype but the idea is the same.
First the bluetooth stack that windows has is no good. You gonna need another one with more profiles. I use the WIDCOMM bluetooth stack.
I dont now what hardware u have, mine was branded in device properties "blutonium" and its internal in my laptop, I search their site and downloaded the said drivers (stack). Now maybe urs maybe different... u should find one and the newest version the best. Use google or something...
Anyway, after installation I run the bluetooth configuration utility and after pairing my bluetooth headset with my laptop I shoose to use the profile "hands free audio" with my headset. Afterwards I open skype and in settings where u choose audio (in which the only option before was my sound card) now appeared the option of my wireless headset. After that the sound comes from my headset.
I think that u can choose to use the Artemis as a "hands free audio device" among others when u do the pairing.
The funny thing is that u can do the opposite and when pairing u can choose your PC to be Artemis' hands free audio meaning that... when u play an mp3 or someting on ur Artemis u can hear it through ur PC speakers... from 10 meters distance...
The only requirement is to have a new and feature-rich bluetooth stack.
Good Luck
Hey thanks a lot for the tip!
I'll try it out
I use the Bluetooth connection between the HTC and the Parrot and it works just fine in my car…. As far as the phone hand-free functions are concerned.
When I installed TomTom (ver. 6) on the HTC I assumed that the voice of the navigator would also come out through the car speakers connected to the Parrot.
This is not happening! The phone conversations are going through the Parrot and INDEPENDENTLY the TomTom voice comes out of the HTC!
This creates quite a mess when I am driving (while TomTom navigates) and I get a phone call: TomTom keeps on talking over the phone conversation and most of the HTC screen is covered by the “incoming phone call” notification!
Moreover the ringtone of the HTC does not seem to work when connected to the Parrot and only a very feeble chime is there to signal an incoming call.
Does anyone have a solution to fix this inconvenient situation?
Thanks in advance for the insight!
I've got the same setup as you and have the TomTom voices coming out of the phone which has been the same with my previous phones such as the SPV C550 and he HTC wizard. I think it's down to the bluetooth stack implementation on the Windows Mobile phone. My mobile mutes TomTom when I am in a call and I get a flashing mute icon shown on the TomTom screen.
One thing to try is the Jetware bluetooth extension http://www.jetwaremobile.com/ which is designed to improve compatability with the Parrot systems. It will certainly help you get the correct ringtones through the speakers, though I'm not sure if it will help with TomTom voices.

Hi All,
I've got a Dopod C730, I'm loving the device except for some problems I'm having with bluetooth devices. I've recently bought a Jabra BT320s Stereo bluetooth headset and a iBT-GPS bluetooth GPS receiver.
I can pair these devices with my phone, but on the Jabra I can't see the stereo profile and I can't see how to set up the com-port for the GPS, I'd particularly like to use it with Google Maps
Anny help would be appreciated

That'll teach me not to search. This was just what I was looking for
Now I just need to workout what's happening with my headset.
Anyone else got a Jabra BT320s?
I do -- it works well with my T-Mobile Dash, but it's got completely different innards than a Cavalier.

Hi,
I have the following problem:
I am using XDA Orbit 2 and a car-radio Maqma MQ-106BT. This radio offers Bluetooth-connection to my XDA. It supports the BT-headset (A2DP) and the handsfree profiles.
After pairing the car-radio is shown with both active profiles in the settings-screen of the XDA.
I want the car-radio to play the radio program and to give the TomTom-voice using the car-speakers. The system works very well for the phonefunktion. But if I start TomTom the radio sound stops and only the voice of TomTom is to be heard but nothing between the TomTom comments. It seems, as if TomTom uses the BT-headset Profile and thus the radio is always waiting for sound from the XDA.
Are there XDA-settings which would help me or is there a possibility to force TomTom to use the handsfree profile, thus only muting the radio if there are comments from the navigation?
I hope here are some experts who are able to help me!
Best regards from Luebeck
Micha
Hi,
I can't believe it: Not even one answer?
Is it really such a special task? I have thought that here in this forum there are only XDA-specialists???
Please, if there is someone who has an idea, please help!!!
Regards
Micha
Bump, I have a similar question in the Athena forum. Best guess I have is to mess with the registry to force the tomtom commands to not go through A2DP, but through HCP (phone signal) - that way priority is assured, but you may have to physically hang up the signal to get back to radio. At least the signal would start automatically....
As far as i know to allow the radio to be played in between tomtom voice commands you would need a fixed wired connection and also a car radio system that allows line in input to be switched on and off. The problem isnt the PDA the problem is the radio system in the car.

i have the same issue with the tytn2, i cant get my tomtom sound over my radio.
I'd appreciate it if anyone could help!
fwiw, I am still searching the forum for a solution. I have found some old bluetooth posts, that may hold the key:

in particular, message #2 of thread, concerning BTAudioNav hack:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1046077&postcount=2
Some of this info is dated, so I haven't tried anything yet, and as the posts indicate, it takes 2 to tango. The WM6 device may be doing everything right, but the equipment you are pairing to may not be able to be configured correctly....
Update, BTAudioNav is not working, I assume that it is for PocketPC and I am running WM6
?!? Tomtom commands
[email protected]
I have the same problem.
Phone: HTC tytn2
Bury Wired Handfree
Perfect Sound Quality for Calls but: No system Sound, no TomTom Sound.
Yesterday i drive on the Highway, Tomtom was on and a call was incoming but the tytn2 was rebooting by him self .... AND NOW IT WORKS !
I hear all tomtom commands! I don't no why but it works!!!
Update, it seems that tomtom goes over the a2dp signal and not the handsfree profile.
If it was handsfree profile, it would cut into the car stereo music. A2dp doesn't have priority though with most car stereos.
Had I known this, I wouldn't of purchased tomtom....
