I saw the posts about getting the Widcomm bluetooth stack on an XDA II (I loved how well it worked on an iPaq 5555) and one of the features the Widcomm stack normally offered on the 5555 was the "audio gateway" - the ability to use a bluetooth headset for regular audio throughput. Bluetooth headsets without a built in DSP don't work well for music, but they are great for spoken word stuff, like books.
My question is, does the audio gateway work with the XDA II and the Widcomm stack? I believe that Tobias is planning on adding it in his excellent Pocket Bluetooth Tools, but its been a while and I don't know if he was still planning on releasing the support. One poster somewhere else mentioned in passing that the bluetooth headset "wasn't supported" with the Widcomm stack, but I don't know if he meant the bluetooth headset for phone use or the audio gateway (or if that was even true or not).
Any ideas anyone?
Hi all!
Somebody knows if there is any chance that we will get to see an A2DP Profile on the XDA2 anytime soon? This would be soo cool and the possibilities are endless!! Its so frustring having a device that "could do it all" but then its still not possible.....:?
There are a lot of interesting devices coming to the marktet now (BT Stereo Headsets, BT-Audio Transceivers and Receivers to connect to HIFI Equipment)
check it out:

and a cheap one (sold here in Switzerland)

I just wonder why there is nobody or even a company like Widcomm developing these missing profiles (like PAN Profile, BT-Network access etc..) for the XDA. I would definitly be willing to pay if you could buy them on Handango or so.... :wink:
Cheers
Has anyone know A2DP on either PDA or Smartphone?
It's compatible with MDA Compact (XDAIImini) ?
RE
I tried the A2DP profile on my WM2003SE O2 XDA II with Widcomm bluetooth stack and the sound through my iPHONO bluetooth headphone was crappy. Many times there were interruptions like split second cut off and then the music would resume.
I used GSPlayer and faced some problems like the volume slider does not function, does not automatically jump to next track upon completion of the current sound track etc
BTW, you'll need to enable the Headset and the High Quality Audio profiles for the iPHONO headphone in order for it to work.
Also, Widcomm bt stack does not support headset profile
Dear All,
I've been searching to find a solution to this for 2 weeks now, there are some posts i have read whole forum almost, nothing seems to work.
I think it has nothing to do with what kind of bluetooth headset you have, there should be a program which should transfer audio from sound card of the Mda to the integrated phone inside this device.
Could someone describe how can we achieve this? It is very convenient to listen to audiobooks (if you think why would someone need mono listening)
I'm also willing to pay for this help.
Greetings,
Devrim

my config: MDA (Dutch) wMobileSE 2.06 4.21.1088 with Jabra BT250
i tried to install widcomm, but it doesn't work.
Unfortunately we were the recipients of a beautiful piece of hardware that was released with a "non standard" bluetooth implementation. I have read peoples claims that this is possible, but, I am yet to experience a working solution.

Hi!
Widcomm does not support bluetooth headset at the moment although the headset can be paired with your PPC ie. no sound recieved from your headset.
One way out is to listen MP3 from your PC/laptop which is possible through your headset, however, you'll have to get thre right dongle.
As for listening MP3 from my O2 XDA II through my iPHONO bluetooth headphone I had Widcomm + the High Quality Audio Profile installed. The sound was crappy with occasional split second interruption to the sound playback.
So much so for the current bluetooth technology for listening to MP3 playback on my O2 XDA II
how did you install widcomm and deactivated ms stack?
plus, iphono thingie has no microphone, hence i'll have to have two bluetooth headsets... not convenient...
thanks,
RE
Well, if you make a search for Widcomm there're many threads on this subject.
Read all of them and you'll be able to find your answers
Even the new Broadcom stack Build 3500 for XDA IIs does not support the mp3 playback on BT headsets.
The unofficial upgrade which adds hi quality BT headset profile, I still doubt it can do it coz the Audio Gateway preference is not listed. Damn

I had install the Widcomm BT stack, it is not working. There was no sound in the bt earpiece (mine is HBH-65) although it was paired with xdaII. The worst is it mess up the function for normal phone talking. I can listern the voice from caller but they cannot listern to my voice during phone call.
the xdaII can't get back to normal until a hard reset. Would you please tell me how to get the earpiece work ?
Hi,
the unofficial upgrade is working, I just got a pair of HP headphones, it's awesome. Just be sure your headphones support A2DP, regular headsets won't do it.
Treo
Nice one Mp3's over blue tooth. Any chance of a simple walk through on how to do it and the files needed?
cheers

this iphone have a mic
and support music using the dongle and phone using the normal headset profile which even ms bluetooth stack support
try search for this little software call BTAudio to turn on/off the audio from mp3 to your headset
I am a bit confused on what these HP headphones can or cannot do. When I look on the HP page, they are touted as the bluetooth headphones for iPAQs. There is no mention of them bing standard bluetooth headphones that can be used with any bluetooth A2DP capable device. I had assumed they were some proprietary profile that HP did on top of BT.
On the other hand, I found the same HP FA303 mentioned all over the place in these forums as being able to work on A2DP with Wizard and simlar devices.
What is the deal here? Are the HP FA303 standard BT headphones? If they are, and they can work with both iPAQs and all other BT devices, then I wonder how they work with iPAQ 4150. I have been looking all over the place for an update to the iPAQ 4150 that would make it A2DP capable. All the forums claim that such a patch is non-existant.
I suppose the bottom line question is - if I get HP FA303, will I be able to use it with my iPAQ 4150, with my TMO MDA (with A2DP patch) and with my PC with BT USB stick.
Thanks a lot
They're the real McCoy with full AVRCP support when used with WMP on a A2DP enabled wizard. Awsome fidelity and volume too. They pair well and are easy to use. The FA303s are the same exact headset as the Logitech MP3 bluetooth and iPOD headsets btw. I absolutely love mine.
Don't install the included software on your Wizard, its not needed but to make it work with your iPAQ, you'll need to install it. The software actually adds the A2DP stack + AVRCP to supported iPAQ devices. I suspect that once that software is installed, your iPAQ will be able to pair and use any BT stereo headset.
Can you use these headphones as a handsfree as well, or are they only for listening to music?
They're only for listening to music unfortunately...
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).
