i just got off the phone with a support tech at iogear and was informed that any stereo headset requiring a2dp must support avrcp for switchability between calls and music.
in other words, my understanding is that AVRCP allows simultaneous use of HSP & A2DP profiles on stereo headsets.
my 1st response is can anyone verify this to be true?
next logical step if this is true...
do any stacks support this profile on the phones?
if the answers are yes and no respectively, can we create a project to work this out?
would love to hear input.
here's an afterthought, could this also be the missing link to get voice command working smoothly with stereo bt headsets?
present setup is with plantronics 590 and info in signature

Addtional HS & A2DP Info
On home pc recently updated widcomm stack to 5.1.0.1100 and although tempermental, streaming stereo and HS funtions working with engage button on headset. volume but no skip buttons.
although this isn't directly related to PPC it might oofer someone insight into how to make simultaneous profiles work on BA
hope this helps anyone.

I have the Anycom stereo headset and a Blue Angel with Bluetooth build 3900.
I just followed the instructions in this thread to get the high quality audio profile, then did the hack described in the fourth post of this thread to make the buttons on the headset work for Windows Media Player 10 (don't do this if you have WMP 9).
I can now:
connect A2DP and HSP profiles simultaneously, with perfect switching when a call comes in (music stops, then resumes after call)
control some functions with the headset buttons: answer a call, pause/resume the music and skip to next/previous track.
I can't: control voice command through the headset... unfortunately. Don't know if this is possible.
I hope this clarifies a couple of things. Good luck!

I upgrded my imate to 2.06wwe.
I also patched my registry key for the handsfree profile to become active.
I paired my Jabra BT250 headset to the imate, which assigned it the handsfree profile.
I even get the handsfree icon, whenever the imate discover the Jabra headset.
So please can anyone tell me, why I see no difference between headset and handsfree profile.
I suppose to have options such as redial directly from the headset, but it just doesn't work.
Do you think something is wrong?
Maybe something in the configuration?

try to use handsfree instead of headset hardware...

hmmm.. let's think... handfree hardware... ???
I am already using handsfree hardware.
Both imate & Jabra support and enabled for handsfree.

Hi amir,
did you say, you used headset??

We are joking right? :wink:
There is no hardware in the world called "handsfree". this is a feature.
The Jabra BT250 headset, support both headset AND handsfree profiles.
Check here. Look under "Supported Bluetooth profiles".
i would say, that headset is a small earpiece with mike in it + bluetooth. however handsfree is a set of separate speaker, mike, it has couple of buttons and it is used mainly in car.
my headset has one button for picking or hanging up phonecalls + volume up/down.
i would say, that every handsfree has two buttons for calls. separate green and red button.
that makes difference for me...
my headset doesn't support handsfree. maybe because it is a headset. not a handsfree.
i don't know about yours...
...so what was the reg hack, you did, to enable handsfree?
do you think, that the problem could be there then?
buzz
I'm really not kidding.. )))

Bluetooth Definition:
Chip technology enabling seamless voice and data connections between a wide range of Bluetooth devices through short-range (typically less than 30 feet) digital two-way radio transmissions. Bluetooth version 1.1 is an open specification for short-range wireless communications of data and voice between both mobile and stationary devices. Bluetooth specifies how cell-phones, WIDs, computers and PDAs interconnect with each other, & with office or home phones that are Bluetooth enabled. Bluetooth is a technology, and not a brand. This makes it possible to mix and match virtually any Bluetooth technology device.
The only concern that arises is to determine if the Bluetooth items use the same "profile" to wirelessly communicate with each other, such as "HFR (hands free)", "HS (headset) ", "DUN (Dial-up Networking)", profiles commonly available in many current production cell-phones. An example of alternate Bluetooth profiles available are "FTP (File Transfer Protocol)", "FP (Fax)", "SAP (SIM)", "LAN (Local Area Network)", "SP (Synchronization)", and many Video & Audio Bluetooth profiles.
Many Bluetooth products only support one profile.
Most current production Bluetooth headsets handle the "headset" profile, but no other profile.
Car kits generally support ONLY the "hands-free" profile, and a few (especially Parrot car kits) support "hands-free", "headset", & "DUN" profiles.
The Motorola Bluetooth USB Data unit uses a "DUN" profile.

I've spent many a frustrated hour trying to find a way to use my Bluetake I-Phono bluetooth headphones without that damn dongle and at long last, I've found a solution!
"Simply" install the WM2003SE upgrade by toenailed/xda2jojo (which is pretty bloomin impressive, BTW) and then install the HP iPAQ Bluetooth Stereo Headphones Driver Update.
This adds a "High Quality Audio setup" option to the Broadcom bluetooth implementation within the WM2003SE upgrade. Not quite A2DP but pretty damn close. Fidelity, volume, bass are pretty good, particularly considering its a wireless connection, but there are occasional "pops" and "squeaks" to contend with. The connection is so sensitive that I'm having to maintain line-of-sight between my XDAII and the right-hand (BT connected) side of the headphones. I can move several yards away but only as long as I keep the LOS, otherwise the connection degrades significantly.
It's far from perfect but its not a bad compromise until someone cracks A2DP on the XDA (something which I would happily pay £50 to achieve, if any interested party is listening).
Cheers,
Ged.
Headset Update
I've been playing around with bluetooth headset settings and I can't make it work under either BT stack.
BLUETOOTH HEADSET
Hi there mate I have V3 BTHS I tried using broadcom plus the upgrade but its not working...not sure though if I configure it correctly ...When i checked the connection on the bluetooth MAnager/Active Connection it shows an Icon in the Outgoing Connection and it is connected but i dont hear any sounds on my bt headset. What could be the problem? BTW my BT works on the orig bluetooth progy but only on the calls not in music players and sound notification. Hope you can help me. Thanks
As I understand it, you can use a BT headset for calls or BT headphones for music, but not both. My headphones are supposed to work in headset mode but they don't... for the moment at least.
Sorry I can't help further mate.
I understand "High Quality Audio setup" is A2DP. There is nothing more to achieve.

Okay I have the Bluetake i-PHONO on order. Can someone please tell me if it's possible to use them as stereo headphones and a headset at the same time? When you add the Bluetake to your BT setup as high-quality audio, can you add it at the same time as a BT headset? Does it show up as two icons in the BT manager? The Bluetake is supposed to automatically switch between A2DP and headset/handsfree profile... What I want is to be listening to music using media player over A2DP, then hit the button on the Bluetake and pick up a call. Isn't this the way it's supposed to work?
BLUETOOTH HEADSET
oh ok now it makes sense hehe. thanks PinkySlayer. Iphono is bit expensive though its almost a price of a mini ipod...
Expensive they may be, MTX, but I HATE cables, and what's the point in carrying around an MP3 player when you already have one in the form of an XDA (albeit with a few 1GB SD cards in tow)!? I'm working towards a personal nirvana of "single music source, multiple outputs"; I have an FM transmitter wired up to my GPS enabled car cradle so both my WMA and TomTom audio come out of my car speakers; I have wireless Sennheiser headphones for the house and now and now I have wireless BT headphones for mobile use.
I didn't think that was the case, surur. It certainly isn't in practican terms in that the Bluetake phones work great with their own BT dongle (which truly supports A2DP) but with the "High Quality Audio setup", things arn't so rosy.
That's what the Bluetake phones are designed to do, trhuseby, but I think the only way to achieve that at the moment is to use the BT dongle for music playback and then connect your XDA direct to the phones in headset mode. I believe that the phones would then automatically swap from music playback to headset mode when a call comes in, but you have to use that bloody dongle.
The settings for "High Quality Audio setup" do allow the (de)selection of both audio and headset connections but alas, this does not make it work.
BT HEADPHONE
yeah i hear you Pinkyslayer...I really like to have a bt headphone i'm just looking for a cheaper headphone. i was thinking on buying a HP or Toshiba headphones

Can't see why not.

How do I get all audio on my Verizon Touch Pro to play through my bluetooth earpiece?
With my Motorola Q, I connected the bluetooth device, it changed to a Headset profile and all audio (tcpmp, windows media, etc) played through the bluetooth device.
When I connect the same bluetooth earpice to my Touch Pro, the only time it activates is if I hit voice command or once a call is connected.
I also have bluetooth stereo headphones with that stereo profile and those do get audio from Windows Media player.
How do I get audio from TCPMP/Windows Media to play through the Hands Free profile that the bluetooth earpieces I have use?
Anyone able to help with this? I'm disappointed that I can't listen to audio through a bluetooth headset with the hands-free profile.
There has to be a simple fix.
Tap and hold the name of the headset and tap 'Set as Wireless Stereo.'
That option is grayed out for my mono headsets.
Any other ideas?

that is because your headset is not a2dp. what you did before was just have the crappy audio go across your headset without true a2dp so the sound was pretty bad. i have jabra bt8010 and sometimes i have to refresh the option on my headset to set wireless stereo. if i don't, the audio is piss poor because i'm just piggy backing ontop of the voice command audio stream.

Yes, I understand that.
But, my question is how can I get audio to come through my mono bluetooth headset when it's connected? On my Motorola Q, ALL audio routed through the headset when it was connected. On the TP, only if I start voice command or make a call does audio get sent to the headset.
I use the headset to listen to podcasts, so that's what I'm looking for.
I did find a program that would route all audio through the headset, but I do have to run it each time I connect the headset. I suppose that will suffice though.
Hello,
I bought a Jabra BT3030 lookalike, expecting to use it to control the Blackstone, which will have wired headphones connected directly to the 3.5 jack (best sound quality, convenience of a remote, and I expect long battery life).
However I cannot get the sound to come through the headset if the remote works. It looks like if a stereo headset is connected, all sound will be sent to it (if I connect the headset to the BT receiver, it works fine).
I tried switcha2dp but if I switch off AD2P, the remote stops working.
I hoped to use only the AVRCP profile when pairing, but that is not an option (I only have "handsfree" or "wireless stereo", "handsfree" does not work for music/remote).
Can anyone offer any advice? I'd like to disable AD2P while keeping AVRCP but I can't seem to find a way...
Thanks,
Did you ever find a solution to this? I am in the exact same situation
I've been searching here and eleswhere and can't find a answer so I finally decided to ask. If I posted this in the wrong forum I'm sorry, but I have a SGP5 so I figured this would be the place to start.
I have a app that I can run on my SGP5 that controls the functions of a communications radio (Ham Radio) over the Bluetooth serial protocol. What I need is a way to get the audio from the radio to the speakers on the SGP5. I do have a BT A2DP clip-on headset (built in mic & plug in earbuds) on order. From what I understand, the Android system only allows one mic/spk combination (internal, plug-in, bluetooth) to be used at a time. What I need is to route the radio audio into the headset mic, over the paired/connected bluetooth link, to the SGP5, and have it heard out the internal speakers. And the reverse, SGP5 mic to headset speaker. Not finding anyone doing something like this (using for remote mic pickup or as a baby Monitor for example) makes me think that it can't be done.
So my question is: Is this a Software (app) issue, a Firmware (rooting) issue, or is it set in stone in hardware?
Thanks for any answers/suggestions.
George
