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

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.
I am having trouble getting my HTC Mogul to connect with car stereo by bluetooth for hands free talking. The stereo I have (http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/v3/pg/product/details/0,,2076_310069882_291159553,00.html ) allows bluetooth enabled phones to connect to it and use handsfree over the car speakers. I had it successfully working with every other phone i've owned however i can't seem to get my mogul to pair with it. Any suggestions? I've tried enabling the bluetooth on stereo to "discoverable" and had my phone attempt to connect but it won't work. I've also made my phone "discoverable" and tried to have the stereo initiate the connection and still no luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
I have Motorola S9 stereo bluetooth for my kaiser and was wondering if I get a bluetooth USB dongle/adapter for my PC whether I will be able to use it as stereo headset or will it just be a mono headset.
Did anyone try that? Is that what the difference is between bluetooth 1.2 and 2.0?
Hi there. I just bought Motorola S9-HD bluetooth headset. I paired my HD2 without any problem but when I am listening music the Audio Booster is not accessible. It writes: Audio Booster only works when a headset is plugged into the device. It means, that the it doesn't work with bluetooth? Any idea? thanks.
Exactly right, does not work with bluetooth, only wired headsets.
