I'm looking for a way to be able to talk on my phone through my PC, using my wired headset. I'm assuming the best way to do this would be to get my computer to work as a bluetooth headset somehow... or are there any programs that do this type of thing?

I seem to recall accidentally doing this when pairing my wizzard to my notebook. if I recall correctly, just bond and select audio services on for the phone from the 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
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
Can it be done?
I would like to be able to use my laptop or in fact ANY computer with bluetooth as a headset for the TyTN. Reason?
Well, while I work with my laptop I use a headset, when the phone rings I have to remove the PC headset and put on the phone headset, or pick the phone up, Ideally I would like to be able to use the one PC headset to do both.
As a secondary use a friend of mine has a Universal and a car computer, the car computer (a Dell P4 system with touchscreen etc) is connected to his car audio system, and he would also like to be able to control the phone etc from the Dell.
I personally am not really looking for PC based control of the phone, just the ability to use the one headset (wired) for both purposes via the bluetooth on the laptop.
Copious amounts of googling seem to return no information on this, but I am hoping that one or more of you on here have managed to achieve what I am trying to do.
Thanks
i remember trying that quite a while ago with my previous phone, and I found that although it cannot be done with the standard Microsoft Bluetooth stack in Windows, the WIDCOMM drivers for Windows have built in support for that feature. Although it does lack noise cancellation (im sure there is some software that will do it for you) and it does get a lot of feedback if you try and use it as a booming speakerphone. Hope this helps
Thanks, now all I have to do is find a working widcomm stack for at least one of the bluetooth adapters I have heh,
btw - advice, do NOT install bluesoleil in vista, I tried and it even corrupted the BSOD heh, that made for an interesting recovery, safe mode, remove driver AND driver files from PC.
i want to know this also. i've searched for about three days and still no luck. i have an azio bluetooth dongle and i upgraded to the latest toshiba stack that supported handsfree/headset profile. i still cant get it to work. i figure if it was working when i pair my phone to the pc under the list of services it would say headset under activesync.
if anybody knows how to get this done please post it. i will create a tutorial for it because i know many people want to do this.
Hi all,
I've been trying to figure out a way of using my computers speakers/headset as the headset for my phone.
Basically I work in a shared office and tend to listen to music all day with a closed cup headset and find it quite annoying to take off my headset to receive a call.
I've managed to get my music played form my trinity via A2DP (bluesoleil's audio sink service) to my computers headset, but calls are still left on my device
Is it possible that my computer can act as a headset too? can this be done via USB cable rather then Bluetooth?
Any ideas/pointers would be great!

Looking at my computer bluetooth configuration (WinNT with Widcomm BT stack) I can see that in the list of local services supported by the BT stack there is also the "Headset" profile. Enabling that service and pairing your phone to make it use such service should be what you are looking for but honestly I have never tried myself.
PS: You have a different BT stack so first thing you should do is check if you have "headset" profile in the list of local services... if it is not there then I guess you are out of luck.

Yer, it doesn't look like i have one, might have to try a different bluetooth stack. Shame, bluesoleil looks like a nice simple solution
Thanks for your help
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
