Hi guys...
have u seen this?
http://www.bluetake.com/products/BT420EX.htm
And now the question
Can u please have a look for me at the compatibility page... does that means anything for the XDAII?
Of course I mean as far as working as phone is concerned... of course the stereo audio would play.
Do any of u have or have tried the headphones? Do they work with the XDA in phone mode? Could they work?
If you don't know I would play guinea pig and order now!
Thanks,
Chris
from what the page says then it looks like will not be connecting to the xda2 using bluetooth but you just plugin the at minijack and the xda see it as a normal headset
and then the little box sendt the info to the headset
but of cause this would require you to use a minijack 3.5m to 2.5m converter
and you would not be able to use it for phone calls
Thank you... but why?
Dear Rudegar,
can I ask you why?
I do understand I would need the minijac converter and I would not be able to use the wired bottom for phone calls, but I tough I could still use the headset connected via BT for the phone call just as I did with my SE HBH-35 (before I lost it...).
Why you think I would not be able to use via BT? If I use BT tools?
Thanks!
Chris
it all comes down to how they made the device really
as i see it the headset connects to the box which connect to the minijack
maybe you can connect the headset directly to the bluetooth and not use the box
but the headset dont seem to have a mic
and the microsoft bluetooth stack dont support streaming audio over bluetooth from what i understand
as i see it then it dont matter if the headset is using bluetooth at all it could use any protocol to talk with the box
not sure about this but i do recall reading somewhere that the headset in the article does NOT work with the xda2. not sure if it's through this forum or another article. now if another chap could find that article somewhere...
a mate of mine living in hong kong tried using this headset with his xda and the bluetooth didn't work...unless of course he was doing something wrong so don't peg it on me
given that the bluetooth headset does not work with the xda2's bluetooth; the reason the converter may be needed is because the dongle might have a built-in 3.5mm jack. the xdas use 2.5mm jacks; thus needing the 3.5-2.5 mm converter. once you have the converter then basically you have the dongle piggy-backing on the xda...reminds me of the time i used a jabra bt with my xda1; the headset had an adaptor for non-bluetooth phones...downside was that you had the jabra dongle piggy-backing. the same could apply for the bluetake headset. you would need the dongle to be connected to the xda in order for the bluetooth to function.
i also recall reading that the bluetooth of the xda2 does not support wmp...
cheers

If you are looking for a Bluetooth headset for non Bluetooth device, this could be the solution!!!
Thank you, let me expain better!
Thanks to u all for all the replies to my question.
Let me be a little more spefic. There are 2 parts to how this headset works:
1) As a stereo headset connected via BT to the company's little box that connect to any 3.5 stereo jack (no matter what they are for... stereo, ipod, or XDAII bottom plug with an adapter).
For this use I have no dubt it would work since the 3.5 jack is same for everybody
2) As a headset (it supports both Headset and Hands-Free profiles) to pair with the XDA II as I would do with my SE HBH-35 for use as a phone only.
Would this bit work?
Thank you!
Chris
Rudegar:
"as i see it the headset connects to the box which connect to the minijack"
Correct for function 1
"maybe you can connect the headset directly to the bluetooth and not use the box"
My understanding is that u do this and through this connection u can use the headset only as a phone oyu need to ALSO connect to the box to also get stereo sound
"but the headset dont seem to have a mic"
It does
"and the microsoft bluetooth stack dont support streaming audio over bluetooth from what i understand"
It doesn't matter. I hope I would get audio streaming from the bottom 2.5 to 3.5 jack to little-box to BT to headset
AND
the phone function connecting the headset in (Headset or Hands-Free profile) to the XDAII. The only think I care about the stack is that it pairs with the headset in phoneheadset mode.
"as i see it then it dont matter if the headset is using bluetooth at all it could use any protocol to talk with the box"
Correct, but I still need the headset to be BT compatible with the XDAII to use function 2
Robson: thank you, I wrote the maker asking if there are any known issue with the XDAII
but lets say i'm riding a bike listening to music using the box
and the phone rings would the device automaticly drop the connection to the box and use the bluetooth bond to my xda2 to let me answer the phone ?
have anybody tried to connect a 2.5m headset the one that comes with the device and then bound a headset and see if the 2.5m headset interfear with the bluetooth when it rings ?
"but lets say i'm riding a bike listening to music using the box
and the phone rings would the device automaticly drop the connection to the box and use the bluetooth bond to my xda2 to let me answer the phone?"
I understand that by device you mean the headphones. I am not sure if it drops the connection or not, but u here the ring and when u answer it stops the music
I have attached the manual I found on the website
would be pretty cool to see a test of it with xda2 and maybe an ipaq so one could see if it would be even cooler if you were using the non ms bluetooth stack
I bought it!
I bought it!
I will let u all know if it works once arrives... I will have one week to test it or send it back.
I don't know if it would work much better with an Ipaq... as far as I know you can't get stereo audio out through BT from an Ipaq either...
i believe that the ipaq's bluetooth stack should support it but i'm not 100%
some guy in this forum did manage to get audio from his pc to his bluetooth headset but the quality was pretty poor
http://www.expansys.dk/product.asp?code=114076
the imate and xda2 and such are listed on the compatible list of this headset
but just how compatible we'll see when you or somebody else get hold of one and try it out
F**k what I said, it don't means s**t now...
Hi guys... got it yesterday... returning it today...
Qucik summary:
1) It worked fairly well as stereo headphone with the included box
2) It paired with the XDAII, but the audio was very ppr with a lot of eco and the botton to answer or close the call did not work with the original BT (1.52) nor with BT Tools.
Sorry guys....
wonder if it would have worked better with the WidCom stack
Did you try contacting their tech support at all? Usually companies with a new product like that are willing to work with users.
Yes I did
Yes, I did contact them:

Subject: Compatibility with XDAII
To: [email protected]
Hi!
Can I use the i-PHONO BT420 EX Hi-Fi Sports Headphone Kit with an XDAII/iMate/QTek2020/OrangeM1000? (They are different names for the same pda/phone produced by HTC).
Are there any known issues?
Let me expain better myself:
1) I know and I am aware I cannot get stereo audio out of the PDA through BT from any application unless I connect the stereo jack to an adapter that get me to a 3.5 jack to connect to the BT transmitter box
2) What I would like to know is if I could pair and use the headphones with the BT of the the XDAII just for the phone part (as I would do with any other BT headset), so getting the mic and speaker to work
Thanks,
Chris
I go no answer... in the mean time I managed to buy, receive and send it back.
Hi cchris
Here you have one working Bluetooth stereo headset.
I have bought it for 1 1/2 month ago and works great with the Xda II
Here is the link.
http://www.sonorix.com/~tven/eng/product/product_bap.php
It work as a bluetooth headset with a 128M mp3 player.
If you listen to music and if you receve a call the the mp3 goes down and you can answer the call.
You receve a USB Dongel witch you can connect to the PC and listen to stereo music t ex.
Regards
Josef
Sounds Great but...
Thank you JoseF!
It sounds great!
I believe u mean the BT Headset on the link given (the BT Stereo Headset is reported as not yet available)
If I understand u correctly, by saying it works great with the XDAII you mean that it pairs. Can I ask a few questions:
-does it has a botton to push to answer/close phone calls, and does it works with the XDAII?
-is there a way to also get the stereo sound from the XDA? I don't care if I need to use dongles or third part audio to BT things... but can I do it?
I just bought a 1GB SD card, I don't want to carry a separate device for MP3, I would like to do everything from the XDA, also get the audio from the movies I play with the thing!
Thank you!
Chris
P.S.: By the way where did u bought it/where do u think I can get the best price for it?
Hi Chris,
does it has a botton to push to answer/close phone calls, and does it works with the XDAII?
Yes it has a botton to push to answer.
-is there a way to also get the stereo sound from the XDA? I don't care if I need to use dongles or third part audio to BT things... but can I do it?
No,not at the moment, It will be possibel in the future.If sameone can make the widcomm stack to work (h6315).
I dont know if the device is available at the moment.I have a friend that bought one in Januari,It was just 64M storage.
I bought mine in Juli , They have change the storage to 128M.
If you are intrested contact khcoi . Take a look at FAQ at http://www.sonorix.com/~tven/bbs/rboard.php?id=e_qa

Hi there,
I just bought a Bluetooth Nokia HS-3W headset to use with my imate himalaya!
I succeded in pairing and using it but people talking to me say that there is a lot of noise and expecially a lot of echo, so that they cannot almost understand a word!
I obviously tryed the headset with another phone (a nokia 6310) and it worked like a charm.... then I tryed to use it with another qtek 2020 (yes qtek branded, from Vodafone Italy) and again it worked perfectly!!!
Both my imate and the qtek I used for the test has Rom 1.72, so I would expect they hase the same bluetooth stack! Am I wrong?
I'm not using any kind ot bttools...
Is there any chance to have it working properly, or shall I buy a different BT headset?
Thx in advance
i had the same problem, you have 2 options
1. slide out the rubber part from the plastic part on the speaker side
2. or what i did is i cut off the rubber part you press on the earphone directly, so in other words you click on the button directly & this will allow your the speaker voice not to bounce off the rubber side when his voice leaks
hi guys, i know all of you want more bt stack rather than ms bt stack. now i found new bluetooth stock for dopod 818(o2 mini).
this is support your o2 mini support stereo bluetooth headset, but make should your bt headset supports. and there is also file transfer stock......and other thing, but stereo bluetooth function need to be improving.
attention: backup you system first.
i learn a lot in this forum, so i want to share this stock for all of you. this stock is i find from somewhere, so i can not fix any bug. anyway just enjoy....

HAHA, I KNOW. BUT YOU CAN TRY, PLEASE FIND ATTACHED PHOTO. THIS DRIVER COME FROM ONE BLUETOOTH HANDSET.
Could this be? Can anyone verify?
Handsfree versus headset
Hi,
I tried and first thing, everything work now as fine as before so a first good point.
Second one problem : my Bluespoon AX is only recognize as a Hands-free and you can only set "Audio redirection" for Headset.
Perhaps some registry work ?
I will continue to investigate
very nice patch indeed..
installed it on my JAM... an it runs OK...
some extinsive testing is required however... I'll let you know later
Thank you kevinyang6688
If this works, you'll be the best
Works here aswell!
it even seems to support bluetooth printing???

just downloaded.. will give it a try.

INstalled it but I have no clue how to make it work. Been to the BT settings and everything is there but I have no clue to as it does not detect my my Jabra BT250V.
Will this work in actually turning my Jabra into an audio headset or is it only as phone headset?
Does this help at all with the Nokia car kit echo issue?
Cheers
i'm using O2 mini. After installed... Nothing shown in the "Default headset" drop-down-list-box of the Audio tab
Anyone having similar issue?

Man, you seriously kick a$$! This cab adds A2DP, FTP (successfully sent a series of 3 files to my Magician :shock: :wink: ), Audio Gateway (was able to use my laptop as a BT handsfree ), BT Printing Profile... AWESOME!!! Takes MS BT stack to a whole new level :shock:
But you could already send files with activesync over bluetooth without this stack (do i suppose ftp service is the same thing). Btw can you acces the files located on your computer from your mini now??? (if yes plz tell me how)
As far as I am concerned, it works but doesn t change anything with my bluetooth headset and voice command, i always don t hear any voice command sound in my bt headset, but then I hear the phone conversation directly in the headset...so nothing has changed.
Would have loved so much to hear and launch voice commands directly from the headset's mic.
But thx anyway! that s a really good thing for us anyway =)
It does work with I-tech S35 Stereo BT Headset
As per subject really...
Just tested this on my 1.12.00 T-Mobile Rom and indeed all audio is indeed being re-directed to my headset. Only 'drawback' is that I can't get it to work with PocketMind Pocket Music- the sound it just muted.
But it works perfectly well with Windows Media Player. Slight hitch with WMP is that I am unable to change the volume on the software or indeed the JAM system volume directly- a minor fault for me since I have a volume control my headset Also the music seems to cut out for a second or so every 7-8 seconds.
Music pauses and restarts when an incoming phone call is received.
A massive thanks goes out kevinyang6688. Cheers mate, I have been wanting this for ages! Thanks again!
Has anyone been able to make these headphones work with the wizard?
I have searched forums but cannot find a solution.
Hp do not have any drivers to install onto wm5 operating system.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
you don't need drivers. Just use search to find the cab update en use them.
I've just received mine: they work perfectly!
just bought a set, Help
:?: Hello, I just bought a set of these off ebay, have t-mobile mda vario flashed with the cingular rom. I am reading your posts, but cannot figure out what you are talking about with the cab update. my device finds the hp headphones just fine, but there is no usage choices listed,how do I get these things to work? is there an install file I can download? Please help.
HasC,
I've got the Logitech one and they are the same as HP.
Power of the headphones and keep pressing the power button until the led flashes red.
Then you can connect it to the wizzard with the usual 0000 pin.
Did it with mine and it works.
Cheers,
Drifter
thanks for reply, but pairing not the problem
Hello, they paired just fine with the wizard, but how do I tell the wizard to play the audio through the headphones and not the internal speaker?
Drifter, you the man!!!
Mine is working beautifully now, your instruction to wait for red light to flash solved the problem.
Thanx
totally confused now???
Hello again, They are paired, but there is nothing listed in "Services to use from this device" List, is there some software or driver I need to install? is there some menu choice I need to select somewere. Please help.
jappetto,
I am also using the cingular ROM, all I did to make them work was to follow Drifter's example on pairing them. Once they were paired it just worked straight off any audio player that I used, eg Mort player or windows media player, WM allows me to forward tracks as well.
I really dont know why you are having trouble, try removing all bluetooth paired devices from your phone and pair the headphones first. This may help
Still confused
"cab update en" sounds like software I need to download. am I using the wrong rom?
tried deleting all and pairing headphones first.
sees them but there is no services listed to use. how do you tell media player to play through headphones? does it happen automatically when you turn yours on? or is there a button or command I am missing?
read all about the A2DP update in the Tornado forum as well as the A2DP threads here before you start to use your headsets. You will need A2DP to make these awsome HP headphones work to their fullest abilities.
Japetto,
I am using this ROM:
ftp://xda:[email protected]_RUU_WIZARD_217_AKU2_WWE_CF2_A2DP.exe
It has A2DP settings configured already.
When you pair the headphones with this ROM installed, make sure your volume is not on silent on phone (should adjust automatically) when using headphones. If you are using WM player and cannot hear sound through headphones, press round connect button between the volume and track forward/reverse buttons ( the same one used to pair the headphones). this should establish a link with the headphones and start working.
No other software/drivers are needed to make them work.
Hope this helps.
ive got the normal tmobile uk rom...would it work??
what its the quality of sound from the headphones...when compared to the headphones given with the MDA Vario
also could someone direct me to a link where i can buy them from
Thanks
I'll Try it
thank you HasC
SBouri,
No, you need to change ROM so that it is A2DP compliant, at present t-mobile have no ROMS for this, mine was originally T-mobile ROM.
The quality of the headphones are fantastic, they are better than vario supplied ones because they are wireless and I have had the phone upstairs and was able to listen from kitchen downstairs, occasionally there was some interference, but close range, worked seamlessly for me.
HasC, fair enough mate..ermm i'd rather not upgrade my rom as i dont want to take any risks which will turn it into a brick
i am a techi but the phone doesnt give problems as other people post about..so id rather just keep the current t mobile rom
thanks for the reply though

You don't ned to upgrade your rom to get your stock Tmobile MDA to work with BT stereo headsets!
Just install the A2DP hack.cab found in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=48535&highlight=a2dp and your stereo headset should show all options for Handsfree, Headset and Wireless Stereo.
I have not upgraded my rom, as I agree with SBour, I *can* do it but it's not worth it to me just yet....
I am using the stock Tmobile Rom, the A2DP hack and I-Tech Clip s35 stereo headset. The sound is lound and crystal clear.
Jaidnoire, nice one mate, will give it a go and ill order the headphones asap...i found a site through kelkoo for £48...is that cheap compared to any other sites you may know of?
Can anyone tell me what the battery life is on the Motorola HT820? As i manily want to listen to MP3s of my Vario
The HT820 manual claims 14 hours for music listening or 17 hours talk time.
i jus recently bought a motorola Hs850 bt headset and was wondering the following questions:
1. how do u adjust the bt headset overall volume with registry tweaks or whatever?
2. how do u listen to music through this headset?
3. i dont quite understand ad2p or whatever. i know it allows stereo bt headset compatibility but ioono specifically what it is?
oh and btw i have the 2.24 rom for tmobile that xcillon posted i think.
I have the same questions i am currently using Faria AKU3.3 and with my HS850 the Stereo option is greyed out
