Hi Guys. I have a question for you...
I'm using a VoIP softphone on my laptop (corporate, but similar to skype). I have a bluetooth laptop, and would like to use my mini S as the mic & speaker for this function.
I use a Belkin BT USB device, and it lets me connect the Mini S as an 'audio gateway' (which should do this exact task)
It connects, then disconnects immediatley.
Anyone any experiences?
Thanks, Jamassey.
never try this before. but i suggest the BT service manager(such as bluesoleil) should simulate an audio device and then you should go to the control pannel to setup a sound-device mapping.

This may sound weird, but does anyone know how to use the imate/xdaII as a bluetooth headset?
I am using pc to phone software and want to be able to wander round the room/house with my imate talking via bluetooth to the PC and to the pc-to-phone software on the PC.
I have a Sony Ericsson HBH-65 bluetooth headset but the battery life is TERRIBLE on it - talking for 30 mins on that will probably render the battery dead!
Looking forward to your comments!
this is not the answer to your querry but something related. when i bond my xda to my pc via bluetooth; to complete the pairing the xda asks you if you want to use the pc as a headset. out of kicks i pressed "ok" and when my phone rang the speaker of my laptop was the one which sounded. the bond between my xda and my o2 headset was gone. had to rebond the laptop and headset again...bottomline is that you can use the laptop as your "headset"...so from there maybe you can work something on the other way around?
cheers
Interesting!! The PC can be recognised by the phone as being a headset. Thanks for the response anyway - perhaps someone can make use of this.
In the bluetooth toolset that I have installed on my PC I can search for all devices that can be used as a headset - the HBH-65 appears in the search, but my XDAII doesn't.
Wondering whether someone has managed to tweak this to work.

i haven't tried plugging in a mike on my laptop; which means that if it does work you can actually use your pc as a loudspeaker for conference calls.
regarding: In the bluetooth toolset that I have installed on my PC I can search for all devices that can be used as a headset - the HBH-65 appears in the search, but my XDAII doesn't. - now that's a little strange. i use a bluetooth dongle and when i search for devices my xda comes up and not the headset...
i don't think you can use your regular bt headsets for laptop / pc use; read it in one of the topics here somewhere.

hi,
i thought about these bt-adapters that are used to connect a notebook or pda to connect to a stereo.
isn't it possible to use the magician as a bt-audio adapter with that you can play your desktop sound on the stereo (eventually via a 2,5 to 2,5 klink adapter) via bt?
i looked already a little bit around but didn't find a possibility to connect the notebook to the pda and stream the sound to the pda.
any ideas?
greetings,

I asked this question like a year ago and also didn't receive any answers.
Should be possible though with the a2dp supporting bt stack,
nevertheless I couldn't get it to work.
I dont know about BT, but it works with a phono cable, ive caned an 800watt sound system with my magician
jupp i used it already like this with mortplayer, but the question is if there is a way to use the pda as a bt-soundcard like a headset.
You could connect it using Bluesoleil -> PAN and
then just open a playlist on the "server".
afaik you can't use it as bluetooth headset because it just doesn't
have the proper bt profile.
Hi Everybody!
Looking around for a soulution to BT PAN with Toshiba BT Stack on my Dell I played a while with the USB connection.
I'm using TomTom with BT GPS quite often the same time I'm online, so I tried to disable BT on PPC, Internet Sharing with USB, IP assigned, online - then reactivated BT and it works great both together - even phone calls meanwhile connected via UMTS to the internet.
So, using the build in function in WinXP and set up alternative options for your IP/DNS/etc works even (takes 3 - 5 seconds more to obtain IP) fine.
So no need any more to deactivate BT on the PCC before using internet.

Alex
Hi guys,
I'd like to use my laptops speakers and microphone as a 'bluetooth headset / handsfree device' so I can talk without having the phone in my hand.
Is this possible to do ?
I am using the Soliel 2.3 bluetooth stack with a Broadcom USB BT dongle which does appear to show 'bluetooth headset' as a service but my Wizard only shows 'serial port' as being an available service.
I'm currently using the NBD 8.0 rom..
Any suggestions appreciated!
does nobody know, or is this just not possible ?
I do think it's possible...
Hey,
i am using Jaguar's 3.1 and when i set up all my BT connections i saw the following in my list of connections to my PC: Serial,dial up net and headset. just for kicks cause i've been down about my rom project not turning out so good i messed with it and it works...somewhat. i say that because it was kinda choppy but that might have been 'cause i had both phones in the same room.
Hi,
I've recently upgraded to a vista laptop which has much better bluetooth ability. My computer shows my phone as having 'Voice Gateway' capability. Also, in Skype etc, one of the audio devices is a bluetooth headset. I tried connected to my phone with the voice gateway, and it connected, resulting in Skype switching over to the bluetooth headset. However, I get no sound in/out of my phone. My guess is it needs some kind of software running on the phone, is anyone able to point me in the right direction?
Essentially I want to be able to use my phone as a bluetooth headset for skype, and from the computer end, it looks like it can do that...
Thanks
