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

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

Are there any single BT earphones out there that support the A2DP protocol for streaming audio/video?

Yes!

hi
I want to hear tomtom instructions over BT. ive got the AKU 2 update done, but when i try and enable wireless stereo my bluetooth headset or car handsfree has the wireless stereo option greyed out.
Im not after good music quality, just tomtom saying turn left etc.

1, use the A2DP hack. See for example http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=1307&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 (the "Adding A2DP (and AVRCP) support to the HTC Wizard" section)
2, if mono phone headset "quality" is sufficient, give a try to either BTAudio ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=280353 ) or BlueMusic (see my articles).
I have the 8525. I am in the market for a stereo headphone.
what is the diffrence between the A2DP BT headset vs. "no A2DP"?
Is the 8525 A2DP compliance?
A2DP is a Bluetooth profile providing support for wireless stereo. A BT headset that doesn't support A2DP is usable as a regular handsfree device for phone calls. You need A2DP for music.
Having said that, the current firmware level provided by all vendors is based on AKU2.3, which doesn't support A2DP very well, although some people manage to make it work with registry hacks and the like.
We're all waiting for HTC to release the new big update (AKU3.x) to the Hermes/TyTN which contains an improved BT stack.
It looks like BCHS is an add-on for the MS stack , but why doesn't it work? It has posissibilities to redirect sound to a headset and to select that all audio has to that device.
I tried BCHS107.ARMV4_mod.cab and bchs_for_pocket_pc_ozone.armv4.cab, the last one gives me a white screen after restarting.
Anyway .. if widcomm stack doesn't work, why not trying this one? Or am I too simple ??
I'm looking for something that I can still use Voice Dail and that it's possible to switch all audio (= for example WMP) to my Jabra headset.
I know all the keys to make Voice Dail work (works no standard in mUn 2.0 SE = WM6). I know it's possible to hack and stream all audio to my headset, but this switching isn't that userfriendly ...
Can someone plz help me to get this work done?
indigo
any update on this issue please? tried indigo lite, bt stack still useless...
A2DP
Hoi
The p3600 allready has the A2DP profile on it with Bluetooth 1.2 or2.0 you can send audio to A stereo headset ---only stereo headset---- and than all sound wil go to the headset.
