[Q] Bind desktop USB Headset to connected Android device as local headset - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everybody,
I'm searching for following solution. During office day my Android (SG2) is bound to USB and so connected to workstation for the whole day. I'm also using a headset bound to workstation also connected by USB for VoIP and Music (of coz).
Question: To avoid a second headset (for the phone), is there a solution, which could bind the workstation connected headset virtually to the attached Android device as local headset. So whenever a call comes in on the phone, I would use the desktop headset for the call?
Thank you
Dejan

Moving to Q&A

I purchased an ASUS USB-BT21 that allows me to do this on my Windows 7 PC. It uses the Broadcom 2046 chip (use to be WIDCOMM I believe) and the software that comes with it (or download from their site) allows me to pair it with my SGS and answer calls on my PC.
I think any Bluetooth 2.1+EDR adapter should allow you to do this, but I dont know that for sure.

I use the Plantronics Voyager Pro UC2 headset because it pairs with my computer and phone simultaneously. It's also capable of some interesting "presence" stuff when it connects to either device and if you're on the phone or not.

Hello all,
thank you for the input, it seems more fisible to enable BT on PC as merging any USB to BT gateway over PC to Android.

[Q] Android phone as bluetooth gateway.

Hi guys,
After hours of web searches, forum trawling and experimentation, I have yet to find an answer to my question.
GOAL: To connect an old, Android bassed phone handset to an analogue amplifier and use it as a bluetooth passthrough gateway.
I have an old Sony Ericson X10 at my disposal which I would like to connect (via a 3.5mm jack to RCA) as a permanent fixture to my outdoor analogue amplifier and speaker setup. Ultimately, this phone would act as a bluetooth gateway to which other bluetooth source devices could connect and stream music stored on said source devices via this gateway to my audio setup.
The control and volume, as well as the media storage would be taken care of by the source devices and audio passed via bluetooth to the audio setup.
I have tried many apps available and have found none to do this basic task. If there is one available, or similar, I would love to hear about it!
Regards,
Jordan.

[Q] Android as "WIRED" speaker

Hey, been searching a lot for this kind of an App, but din find any help.
So here it is, I had been trying to revive my old PC, was able to use my fone as a WiFi receiver, and now i want to use it as a WIRED speaker.
There are Apps that allow this using Bluetooth and Wirelessly, but I was looking for something that allows through USB connection, as in my device is recognized as an Audio Output device.

[Q] Unable to transfer files to phone from PC via bluetooth.

I bought a bluetooth dongle on Amazon (ORICO BTA 403, CSR8510 A10 chipset) and installed it on my Windows 7 x64 computer.
The dongle installs fine and works perfectly with all my older phones but not with my Xperia S running Android 4.1.2.
Basically, if I install the automatic windows driver, and pair with the phone, windows complains about no drivers for the device, and I can't do anything with it.
If I install the supplied software (CSR Harmony wireless software stack) I can pair and the Xperia S is installed properly, the various audio services work (I can stream music to PC using BT), but I still can't send or receive files, either from PC to Phone or from Phone to PC.
The connection times out after a second and gives me a connectivity error. It's like the phone refuses to connect to the PC, both when transferring and receiving.
I don't know if the phone is the problem, it seems to not work only when doing file transfers with PC, if I try to transfer files to other phones or to my mac (which has built in BT) it works fine.
Is there any way to fix this issue? Any way to troubleshoot this issue to tell if the problem comes from the phone or the dongle?
Searching with google I can't find any solution, I just get lost into a sea of bluetooth problems which have nothing to do with what I'm experiencing.
By the way, using Airdroid instead of BT is not a fix.

your problem is bare and I think you can try these two solutions out:
1- Restart your phone and check whether your problem has solved or not. 2- Restart your windows and also turn off your Antivirus and firewall and try again.

1.Its not a phone its Headphones. 2.Restart made no difference plus Antivirus/firewall not the cause, seems to be a driver problem when installing from windows update! Ta all the same.
The problem is ****ty drivers from the manufacturer. I installed Bluesoleil and it worked perfectly. Another solution is to use the Windows stack by manually installing drivers from the MS Windows Mobile Suite (or whatever it's called, I don't remember) but that only supports file transfer.

Question Bluetooth and PC connection issues

Bluetooth issue
My Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G does not connect automatically to my paired devices like car (most important), speaker, pc, headset. I always have to connect manually, entering the Bluetooth menu and select the device and connect it.
It has the latest global rom.
Tried to sent the issue to Xiaomi, added logs, but no response from them. Searched Internet, no solution.
Anyone has a solution?
Laptop no connection
I found a solution here to connect to laptop/pc with a USB-A port and it works but...
My Asus laptop doesn't have a USB-A port only 2 USB-C ports and I cannot connect the phone here. Updated all drivers etc. but no connection.
This is frustrating since I want to transfer music this way.
Any solution would be great.
Thx for the support
