HI,
I think this is a very common question and must have been asked before. i did a search but was unable to find a direct topic related to this problem.
I want to use my magician as a headset for PC. I have successfully connected magician to my pc activesync over bluetooth. Now i want to use my magician as a headset device for voice conferencing in Msn or yahoo messengers.
Any way of acheving this?
Thanks
I don't think this is possible. The bluetooth profile is missing and I don't think that any PDA can do this. Get yourself a bluetooth headset and use it together with your PDA and PC.

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.
regarding: The PC can be recognised by the phone as being a headset.
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.
cheers
Is there any software that can allow me to answer my calls from my PC whenever my unit is in ActiveSync? I'd like to use my PC microphone and speakers in answering calls.
i dont know but since activesync is made for normal pda's and not spc for phone pda's i'm not too sure that they incorprated it in activesyncs functions
of cause since that the pda can get access to the network using activesync then i suppose that people could make a program which had a socket the pda connected to that and transfered the sounds as data and such
but somebody need to make such a program and i've yet to see a high demand for it
and as with soo much other things in this world without a demand chances of somebody makes it are less
Certainly would be a very useful program if written.
well maybe there is a demand / market for such a program then
dident know since my xda2 is only in the cradle when it's sync'ing or charging
Bluetooth is your answer i think...
My MDA saw a BT headset service on my BT dongle on the PC...
Didn't try it tough...
If you happen to have it worked, please do inform me. I don't wana buy that BT device for my PC if im not sure it would work as a headset for my XDA2. Thanks so much.
Interesting question! Isn't there a way of getting the XDA to be a virtual modem for the PC? There's that prog called XModem on the OEM - so there must be a simple way of doing this. If it were treated as an external modem, you could use any traditional PC phone answering software, I suppose.
I can gurantee it.. buy a tdk bluetooth usb adapter(or any other adapter WITH widcomm blutooth stack) this will enable your computer to act as a headset ,the widcomm software has the audio gateway protocol which will enable the pc to act as a headset..

Yup ! Works just fine. Coupling the handling of the mobile calls with the handling of the SMSs with Jeyo, the config while in the office is rather good. You can really forget about the mobile device.
Excellent. Thanks again for the tip.

when you bond your phone to PC (xp sp2) it gives the option of headset profile.

I don't think that Microsoft bluetooth stack supports Audio Gateway Profile nor does it support Headset or Handsfree...
that means that you CAN'T use your pc as a headset
and you CAN'T use a bluetooth headset with your pc..
I even encountered some difficulties with installing widcomm software after installing sp2..

I think you are right : YOU can't do it
I restate here that I have done it and it works fine. Both bluetooth headset on the PC and PC as headset for the Pocket PC. And I don't have SP2.

I cant get you
I was replying to the guy who said that with sp2 you can do what I said about widcomm(he said that with sp2 you can make your computer work as a headset)
what I'm trying to say that Microsoft bluetooth stack (which will be obligatory installed with sp2) does not support Headset or Handsfree profile
but widcomm does..
And I can do it ofcourse :evil:
okay, point taken I misunderstood you. Sorry about that.
Do I have to install Widcomm Bluetooth stack on my XDA II to have this work? I have Bluetooth Dongle on my PC with SP2.
no no... don't install widcomm on your xda because then it will NOT work..
you just have to have widcomm on your pc
do you know if i can use the WIDCOMM drivers with my USB BT dongle (Linksys DBT 120)? if so, where can i find the WIDCOMM drivers?

are you sure it's Linksys DBT 120??
or d-link DBT 120??
if the latter is true then you already have widcomm drivers with your adapter driver cd..
Simple:
why isnt it possible to use the same thing through the usb cradle ?
Why does it _NEEDS_ to be a bluetooth connection?

Dear All,
I have been for the past 3 weeks trying to know if it's possible to write an
application that would send/receive the phone audio conversation to a pc if
the device is places on the cradel?
What i want to do is to use my pc's mic and speaker as a headset. I was
thinking that this can be done, since a friend of mine has bluetooth on his
laptop, i paired my phone with his laptop via bluetooth, and one of the
services provided was Audio Gateway, and used his laptop's mic and speakers
as a bluetooth headset.
I wonder how this is implemented since i want to do something like that over
the Cradel connection. or any other media as a matter of fact
Your help is really appreciated

You've got the answer in your post. Simply get a bluetooth adapter that preferably has widcomm drivers (I know they work like this). Set it up as an audio gateway and pair with it, hopefully you should now be able to use it as a headset.
Is there any pc program to emulate the functions of a bluetooth headset like answer the call or reject it, display the caller number?
hi all thanks for your replies:
fruitloaf - i think u didnt get my question. I want to emulate that, i want to write an application on the PPC Phone that when i answer i can capture the audio convo (mic/speaker) and transfere it to the PC maybe via the pass through when the device is on the cradel.
jacusi1980 - i will write an application on the PC that will handel the answering, dialing, rejecting etc. Which also i would like to know how can i control the answering rejecting etc remotely.
Thanks
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,
lindsche
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.
Hello all, I am trying to find a way to transfer voice call to PC so I can use PC speakers and mic to answer the phone. Anyone know what I can do? Thanks in advance.
I could do it through Bluetooth. Pair both the Device and your PC and connet to Audio Gateway service.
Once you get a call you should be able to answer it from the PC itself
Hi pprakash
Do you know if I need anythig program to do that?? I try to register my Atom thru BT but I couldn't locate Audio Gateway serv. Many Thanks.
Hi. I figured it out already. It is BT problem with XP Serv 2. All solved now so I can integrated auto answer with PC on top of home automation. Thanks again for your advice.
