It seems that the BT headset function is disabled in the T-Mo Tab so even if you use Skype you cannot use BT which is very annoying for a device of this size
I have tried to pair a few of them and they are all not visible when BT scanning to pair
Is there a way to patch that with some of the EU tab files?
Thanks
Eric
Note: it is possible to pair stereo headsets but they will not work with skype or a VOIP app
My plantronics voyager pro+ works great with my tab. There is actually a thread already with tab owners talking about what all bluetooths work and which ones dont. My tab is a tmo tab.

Thanks JTC442
Your plantronics voyager pro+ is supporting A2DP and all (or most of) the A2DP headsets are connecting to the Galaxy Tab
Have you been able to use this headset for a VOIP call?
Eric
No, only using actual phone. No mic with voip.

That is why I am looking for a file patch in this thread to get access to these features
It is interesting to inventory the handsets that works but at the end of the day,
None works in headset mode and most of them work in headphone mode
I would bet that the EU FW has BT headsets working just fine

yeah my bt headsets were working fine with the EU firmware , i have the plantroics 975 and jabra stone, also the Motorola MOTOROKR S9-HD worked great.. only thing i did notice i was having some issues reconnecting to the my bt headsets sometimes either a bad flash or something to do with the wifi ad-hoc mod, when i get my tab again i will try with the new euro firmware and see if i have the same issues, the Motorola MOTOROKR S9-HD did work on the US firmware just fine as well as my jabra stone but did not detect my plantronics 975
I have a feeling bluetooth headsets have been blocked on u.s. Tablets to prevent phone use. I have tried 2, both work fine on othet devices, but are not found in my GT's settings-bluetooth-scan menu... However I downloaded the google bluetooth app, and it does see the headset, even though its not the proper device type for that app.

Works fine on Euro Tab, but not with Skype because Skype does not even try to use the phone BT profile.

Can you be a bit more specific? What Google Bluetooth app??
Its called "bluetooth talk" by google market inc on applanet. Not in the normal market, not sure why or if its really a google thing now. But "bluetooth chat" in the market sees my headset just fine also.
Sent from my SGH-T849 using Tapatalk
Not fond of Applanet, I rather pay for shareware when I need it and support the developers. What does this Bluetooth Talk does? Does it help in anyway?
E
The apps wont pair with the device but will show that the device is actually viewable to the tab. Just search "bluetooth chat" in market. Hit search and it will discover the headset. You still cant pair, but it shows there is no problem with the bluetooth protocol stack, but the pairing program settings compromised.

Ok, I have the T-Mobile Tab, I have Skype and Google Voice working via 3G and Wifi but here is the issue...
I have tried 4 different wireless bluetooth headsets and they all react the same... They connect and pair with no issues BUT...
When you place a call the other callers voice is routed, as it should be, to the BT headset, however, my voice is not routed through the BT microphone and it uses the Tab's built in mic...
This is pretty unacceptable as you can imagine and pretty much defeats the purpose of a BT headset...
Any ideas, thoughts, or help on how to get the Tab to route voice via the BT headset as opposed to it's built in mic would be MUCH appreciated!!!!
Thanks in advance!
This was kind of discussed in another thread. Current thinking is that they modified the profile to not support a mic on the BT headset.
Until someone creates a patch, update or a custom rom, there probably won't be a solution.
This is the price we pay for getting the new toys right away. Once the dev's start rolling out the mods, I am sure it will be corrected.

Whilst this may be true for US Tabs, FWIW bluetooth headset profiles do not work with Skype on Euro Tabs either.
I've been trying it out this afternoon, and whilst my headset (well, wristset to be totally accurate) works fine for regular cellular calls, when I try to use Skype I only get audio out.
If I check the options for the connected device in the bluetooth settings, I have both Media and Phone profiles checked. If I uncheck Media, I no longer even get audio out with Skype (though regular phone calls still work ok on the headset), which shows that Skype is not using the Phone profile at all.
So, I suggest you look at the options for your bluetooth device to see if it even has the option for Phone. If it does, it seems that the headset profile is still there and it is actually Skype which is not using it.

Dave
If you read some of the comments here, it seems that Skype for Android doesn't support bluetooth anyway.

Dave
Thanks for the info man. I'll check it out on my Sprint GT.
Wonder if it's possible to put the Samsung Galaxy S BT on the Tab?
It is because the sound of these apps is being routed via the A2DP profile and not Headset provide is you are hearing the sound via the BT headset but the mic used is the Tab's

Since my headset didn't work with Skype at all with the Phone profile awhen I switched of the Media (A2DP) profile, I doubt a non-A2DP headset will help.
The problem is Skype doesn't use the phone profile.

I dont think its limited to skype either. I tried two other programs last night, neither one had working mic.

Why? Still won't work because the problem is with Skype on Android - it does not use the phone BT profile.

No BT Headset Profile in any of the US Galaxy Tabs
The reason that none of can use their Bluetooth headsets with a program like Skype (or better yet, Line2, which I am a beta tester for) is that the Amrican carriers ripped out the ability to use BT Headset profile. Now some headset (such as te Jabra Stone) uses Audio profile, so it will work with the GalaxyTab, but we definitely need someone to break that an hack in a great fix so that we can get Line2, install it on the Tab, then us Bluetooth Headsets to do our communcating. This because the best (and cheapest) phone/data device in the world at that point. Is anyone working on that?

I have a jawbone icon bluetooth headset and am trying to pair it to the tab but it won't find the device... Anyone have luck pairing a jawbone headset?
I have no problem pairing it with my nexus one...
i have no problem with the Jawbone Icon Hero with the TAB. Works well. Make sure the TAB BT is visible and that the JawBone is in Pairing mode (power on + holding the call/end button)

That is the exact headset that I have, and I have tried it again and making sure BT is visible but no luck I tried pairing my tab to my car's radio and that works fine, but I know my headset works fine since I can connect it to my Nexus one..
Im guessing US Tmo version is somehow different.. Anyone in the US have any luck at pairing a bt headset?
ok here's the case, when using a U.S. MODEL TAB since the phone features were removed they also removed the Headset profile since that profile would only be part of the phone features. So the only profile would be the Head phones profile for media thats why some headsets are detected just because they have that profile, such as my jabra stone does media streaming so its detected but my plantronics 975 doesn't.
So the way around it is to flash the euro rom since the euro tab does have the headset profile and i tested it and it works great. Unless someone can hack the bluetooth module in the u.s. roms the only alternative at the momment is to flash the euro rom.

Hello.
I have just bought a Dell Streak in Dubai. It was android 2.1 and I was able to immediately update it to 2.2. It works beautifully, is fast and does everything I throw at it and more.
Problem:
Bluetooth audio simply does not work. I have tried pairing it with my car kit, a nokia headset, a jabra headset and a generic bluetooth headset. It pairs fine with the headsets and phone calls seem to go to the headset but there is no audio in the headset. The person on the other side also cannot hear anything. And after i press the bluetooth button during the call to bring the call back to the phone, the headset(or car kit) seems "locked" and only gets free when I switch off bluetooth on the streak.
Bluetooth file transfer works fine and I have tested it with a samsung galaxy s. But it doesnt work for phone calls. It is a major problem as it is difficult to use the device without the bluetooth on a regular basis and especially in the car.
I would appreciate any help in this matter as I love the device but as I spend considerable amount of my time driving, it is getting very annoying.
I had originally posted this on the Dell support forum and I was recommended to post it in the XDA forum.
Thanks
Babar Malik
I use my dell streak with my motorola s10 bt headset and my car bt handsfree system and have no issues at all.
Maybe try un-pairing all devices and repairing them and testing then one at a time and see is that helps. Askari when a device is connected go to settings, wireless, bluetooth and see if you can tap and hold on the connected bt item and see if you can adjust its settings.

Thanks for the assist but i tried unpairing and pairing but it did not work. Not too many options in the menus to change so I am pretty much stuck here.
As I have updated to android 2.2 from 2.1 which came with the phone, would a factory reset send the system back to 2.1 and then i can check whether bluetooth works or not? I mean, I cant think of anything else to do.
Is it possible that something i have downloaded or installed on the sd card is causing audio conflict with the bluetooth audio?
Thanks
Edit:
What is a good bluetooth earpiece (not headset, sorry about that) to use for phone calling. I want to use the tab as a cell phone.
I use the BlueAnt T1. About $80 at Bestbuy. Excellent headset except that the T-mobile Tab isn't set up with voice dialing.The BlueAnt headset has voice dialing capabilities but the tab doesn't...as far as I can tell anyway.
Other than that the BlueAnt does everything that I need.
Bugman do a search for voice dial, or bluetooth dial.
There is a thread with an .apk that makes the tab work on BT voice dial

I'm using the Motorola SD9-HD. This is a stereo headset that works well for music, as well as phone calls. Bought it online for around $45. I've used it with my Sprint SGT to make Skype calls and listen to Slacker online radio.
It will accept voice commands for dialing out on my Moto Droid but I don't think the Tab is set up for it.
I think that you guys misunderstood me.

I need it small enough to put it in my pants pocket.

Oops! I think there are any number to choose from, although I never had much luck with Bluetooth headsets for longer than a few months. Not really sure why. For reliability I've pretty much standardized on cheap, corded headsets for everyday use.
I think the last BT headset I had was a Jawbone because it was supposed to use DARPA technology to cancel out background noise. After a couple of months it quit pairing, but I never determined if it was the headset, the phone or just a ghost in the machine.

Dear Friends
I was planning to buy a BT Headset with caller ID functionality.
I started searching for a suitable one for galaxy tab.
But I coulnd't find any reported BT Headset, to be working with GTAB, I mean no one reported that they see callers Contact Info on the display of BT headset as saved in Phonebook of the GTAB.
So I searched for possible reasons and faced with term PBAP (Phone Book Access Protocol).
I saw some of GTAB spec sheets reporting that, GTAB has PBAP support.
So what is could be the reason for this inability?
Is there way to make it work properly?
Is there any BT headset that works with GTAB flawlessly with caller ID display capability?
thanks in advance
My car has BT voice kit, and it works ok with phone book and caller id, so i think yes, gtab supports PBAP.

I have Nokia 7W or something car kit, it doesn't have display so I can't say if it is receivin this info or not.
I really need a BT headset with caller ID working on its display with GTAB.
Jawbone Era is not sold in my country, and it seem really expensive to me, at least at the srotes that I looked.
Any other suggestions will be highly appreciated.

This came up while searching on Google.
However reality is different when shopping around. Seems decent and reasonably priced headsets with caller display are hard to find even here in Hong Kong...
I've found some BT Headsets with caller ID display starting from 23-25USD's.
But I'm looking for a headset which works with Galaxy Tab.
Most of these headsets are just able to show the "number" of caller.
But if possible I'm looking for a BT headset that can show the "name of caller" read from GTABS contacts database.
Any other suggestions?

Hi!
I´m also interested in this matter: I´m expecting a Samsung P6800 7.7 tab, and I plan to use a BT headset with caller ID.
Hi. I've got Jabra Extreme2 and it does have PBAP feature. It don't have display, but says the caller id (voice synth). It works fine with GT (P1000).
