Can anyone tell me if the XDA II can be upgraded regarding the version of Bluetooth ie. spec states ver 1.1 can this be upgraded to ver 1.2 which allows for the use of stereo bluetooth headsets etc.
Thanks
Mike Simmonds
i think bluetooth revision and profiles supported are 2 different things
you may want to look into bluetooth stacks insted of revisions because i think thats hardware related
I guess from this then, my original question should now be,"Can I use/upgrade my XDA II with bluetooth stereo headset (rated bluetooth v1.2)"
Thanks for the reply

AFAIK, Bluetooth v1.2 is backward compatible with v1.1. Besides the same basic technical stuff, the 1.2 adds Advance Frequency Hopping so it can connect better in a crowded wireless radio area and faster connection between Bluetooth devices... And the v1.2 compatible Bluetooth devices can still connect until 100 metres.
So basically yes, you can use a device/headset rated Bluetooth v1.2 with your XDA.
I once tested a v1.2 Bluetooth headset from Billionton to connect with an XDA II Mini, I can still communicate with the Mini and me are roughly 80 metres apart, although the sound quality was horrendous, it's mostly because of the headset itself, not the connection fault.
Just to be sure, try pairing it first if you want to buy a v1.2 Bluetooth headset with your XDA.
Can I assume also, that I would be able to stream stereo audio via the XDA II to the stereo bluetooth headset, & would a headset mic also function?
Thanks for your reply

As far as I understand, both Himalaya and Blue Angel are equipped with Bluetooth version 1.1.
I've done some research on this, since I wanted to connect stereo headsets to my MDA III just like you apparently. The 1.2 standard is downwards compatible and apparently it will work to connect a 1.2 "stereo" headset to your device. BUT you will not be able to enjoy stereo.
Headset and device can connect, but since your device uses 1.1, it won't be able to broadcast stereo.
(I haven't tried all this, but it's what I found out during extensive research).
Apparently, Bluetooth 1.2 requires a new chip. So unfortunately it isn't that easy to upgrade from 1.1 to 1.2.
the ms bluetooth stack and also the vidcomm i believe dont support A2DP
which is required to get stereo audio to a headset
you can use this though

hey guys,
still dont have much of definate answer on the BT question. what version is it? 1.1, 1.2, 2.0
Derek
v1.2
Anyone knows if there is an oficial confirmation that it will support 2.0 standard with future ROM updates?
i hear that BT 1.2 supports stereo high quality sound. has anyone tried to use bluetooth 1.2 earphones on the kjam yet? how do they sound?
The current version of WM5 on the k-Jam doesn't support stereo Bluetooth audio natively - here's hoping that will change sometime soon..
So no oficial confirmation on the BT revision that the wizard supports!!
Many pepole will be angry with all the rumors about it!
Including me!
Currently using a Jabra BT250 (bluetooth 1.1) on the Jasjar. Seems to work ok, but noticed some static with it. I've read a lot of positive reviews for the Plantronics Voyager 510 that supports bluetooth 1.2.
Does the MS Bluetooth stack on the Jasjar/Universal support 1.2. I thought on the Imate site it only listed being 1.1 compliant.
I am wondering if a headset that supports 1.2 would be better.
thanks.
Anyone able to confirm the MS BT stack on the Universal supports BT 1.2? Anyone, anyone?
It has 1.2, but the M$ stack sux.. I'm getting static on my Bluespoon 5G too *if* I let my O2 Exec go out of sight, as long as I have straight line of sight between the 5G and the Exec, the sound quality is good, no static

Similar issue
I have a a Pioneer AVH-P9800DVD with a CD-BTB100 Bluetooth adapter. It does BT audio just fine but I can not get a phone connection. I have the latest ROM update on the phone and there are no updated for the bluetooth adapter in my truck.
It's finally released ! I've been waiting for months (well, from 2004 ! ) to have a wireless bluetooth with Radio but not a big earpiece so that I can use it on my bike under my helmet.
They say it should be compatible as below:
"The Nokia Wireless Stereo Headset HS-12W supports the Bluetooth 1.2 specification with Handsfree 1.0 (HFP) and Headset 1.1 (HSP) profiles for phone calls, A2DP 1.0, AVRCP 1.0, GAVDP 1.0 for stereo audio and music features. "
any idea ? test with XDA? WM5 serie ?
