Hi,
I am a little desperate to make a "normal" call with my Nexus 7 3g ^^, finally i want to try a sip solution, i have trying the 15 best sip client of the play store and all are working but i can't answer with my bluetooth Headset (Plantronics M55), the Headset work if i call and if i answer with the Nexus 7 but if i try to answer with the bluetooth Heaadset i have two behaviors : nothing or a new call to the last number
I have find only one who work to answer vith the Headset : SipDroid but i have another problem with it : the quality is very poor ... but only with this client sip ^^
Thanks in advance, Florian
I also forgot to ask if people (with another headset) come to answer a call to sip and if so with what pair of headset and client sip?
I would also like an answer to this as I am thinking of getting a nexus 7 3g, but I want to know how I might make internet calls with it. I think I read that headphones with mics don't work because the headphone jack doesn't support it.
Have you tried a bluetooth headphones?

I'm using SipDroid in an XPERIA P with bluetooth car kit, and it's working for incoming and outgoing calls (bluetooth it's still experimental in sipdroid), one way to improve quality is try to change codecs: speex codec has low bandwidth and acceptable quality for me.
I didn't try it yet but have seen on the forums that it should be possible to mod android native SIP client to allow calls over 3G, and that way bluetooth should behave like any other call...
I want to try sipdroid, but can't seem to register with my sip provider with it. Pretty much the only app that gives me registration issues.
Zoiper just added bluetooth support. I tried it with an earpiece and stereo bluetooth headset and it works fine.
I mentioned this last week in the apps section.

I have a Vario II with Skype installed.
I realise that Skype recommends that you use the supplied headset when using the product for calling (rather than the speakerphone) but I was wondering if I can use my Bluetooth headset instead of the wired headset?
Bluetooth works fine with ordinary phone calls so I sort of expected it to work with Skype (doesn't the phone just see a Bluetooth headset as a standard headset once a partnership has been established?) - but it doesn't appear to work.
Am I missing something or does Skype for Pocket PC not support Bluetooth? And, if not, why not?
Skype probably doesn't use BT Headset profile. They probably should. But look at how long it took MS to make Voice Command work with BT and on our phones it didn't even work. I bet A2DP stereo headsets would work since it is an audio sending profile and not related to calls but you wouldn't be able to use the MIC except for the one on the phone. This might be enough functionality someone could try if they haven't already. However, there is the utility that someone wrote for the Samsung SCH-i730 that redirect all audio to the BT headset. There is no reason it shouldn't work on any PPC that uses the Microsoft BT stack. So try it out and see if it works.

You need to create shortcuts to the toggle executable to make it easy to use.
There is a reg entry that will allow you to patch all sound to a BT headset.
HKLM\Software\OEM\VoiceCommand
LaunchAPEnable should be 0 instead of 1. Once done the headset hardware button will be remapped to connect to the device instead of launching voice command.
You will still be able to press the button to answer calls, it just won't initiate voice dial for new calls.
I would suggest one of those small freeware that allow to remap the hardware button (my button right softw key's been remapped to display a full program menu, that includes the voice command). I'm using a program called New Menu for Windows Mobile 5.
Hope this will help,
Sam
Can anyone share if they have any other methods to use BT with skype?

sorry for the bump... but if this can somehow work it would be a godsend... any ideas oh wise ones?
read my previous post.
To toggle Audio to A2DP you might want to see:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1485391#post1485391
It's an easy way of switching audio to the headset and back to the device. This is for A2DP only.
hey guys,i was hoping for a different thing..is it possible to change the sound from the loudspeaker to the small speaker?? like using a real phone instead of using earphones..i dont have any earphones or bt headsets for the moment so i was hoping that someone can help me out here..its annoying if ur using skype while other people can hear the person you are talking to..
p/s:i've search everywhere including this forum,but still no solution..
No. Apparently it's a flaw in WM: it doesn't give apps access to the phone speaker.
that's a shame..hope microsoft will consider this for their future product
Bluetooth does work with Skype

Try www.Fring.com it has the Skype, MSN, ICQ in there they're all work with the bluetooth. (check the setting after the installation to allow bluetooth headset)
Hello folks!
I know this is a pretty App-specific question, but has anyone managed to get Skype working on the universal with a bluetooth-headset?
Since Skype is not really an "incoming/outgoing phone call" the headset is not activated and I can only get audio through the built-in speaker/mic or a wired headset. (both of which is annoying)
Any ideas on how to trick Skype into using Bluetooth-Handsfree for IO?
Not sure why, but I have been told Skype works with bt-headsets on other devices flawlessly. Is there anything special about the Universal that could apply here?
I already asked this in the official skype-forums, but only got the usual "mobile devices are not officially supported"-answers....
There is a program you can use that will redirect all audio output to BT - I have made Skype and BT work this way. I can't remember what its called so do a search.
The program is "blueMusic"
Thanks for the reply, will try that.
Does this software only redirect output or does it also activate the BT-headset's microphone for recording?
I had luck using Helmi's Widcomm bluetooth stack. Search for it in the Universal forums. It's pretty sweet and treats your handsfree profile device like an Audio gateway.

It should do both, but, not 100% sure about the latter part
do this change and a soft reset so any time you want can tranfer l'audio to your bluetooth headset , il works with skype and any other application.
hklm\software\oem\voicecommand and set the value of "launchapenable" from 1 to 0
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.
Regards,
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.
Sent from my SGH-T849 using XDA App
BT works just fine within Skype when using it on my MacBook Pro and my iMac.... The only issues I am having is on the Tab...
I wonder if it would be possible to flash or install the euro BT .apk?

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?

Interesting. I am going to pick up a Jabra Stone and see if it works with Skype on the Tab.

And these headphones have a mic built into them? And that mic worked for your Skype calls?
It is crazy to wonder if a bluetooth headset might make possible telephone calls through Skype? If not, is it a matter of software or hardware limitation. I can get my BT headset to pair, but haven't yet tried to set up Skype (I'm Skype illiterate). Is the foundation for processing digital voice to deliver to the Skype app in the Android OS for Nook. Might it be only necessary to change some flags to enable it?
Just wonderin'
I was thinking of doing the same thing. But I read somewhere that the BT on the NC has a really short distance, of around 1-2 feet. I hope it works

Has development for BT ceased? Would be very interested to have audio/VOIP piped through the device to a headset.
Hi ... i am also investigating here ..
i paired my mono bluetooth Samsung Headset ... but i can't get any sound out of it ... i tried BTmono ... now i get some strange "wind"-Sounds...8)
My idea is to use the headset as Speaker and MICRO ...
Connecting to my fritzbox over fritz.box app works ... and i get a virtual SIP Phone ... but the next step does not work ... use headset as phone ... 8(
Dear all,
I post here since I wanted to get some idea on how the internet calling feature is working for you using a bluetooth headphone.
I have quite some experience with VoIP. Ran it on my SIP Phone since years, on softphones on my laptop, and now on Android with a GalaxyTab and SipDroid / native VoIP app.
I recently added to my GalaxyTab a Jabra Stone 2 bluetooth headset, it hooks up fine, so I moved from SipDroid on Froyo 2.2 to the Native VoIP client included in Overcome 3.1.0 / Gingerbread 2.3.3 because I was keen on the integrated bluetooth features (answer with the bluetooth button).
But I discovered the VoIP function using bluetooth is working properly only over 3G, strangely over WiFi I can't understand anything from the other end (the same with the incoming and the outgoing calls), it's like an intermittent / discontinuous sound, but strangely, everything is fine after 30-34 seconds, sound quality great, just like from the 1st second of an Internet call over 3G.
I repeat, it happens only when the WiFi is ON, if WiFi is OFF and I use 3G, everything work properly.
In these conditions the internet calling feature is not satisfactory.
I tried 3rd party software again (Cipsimple, Sipdroid, ecc) and even there the same bad call quality when WiFi is turned ON and I use a bluetooth headset.
I also tried a Blueant Q2 bluetooth headset, same problem.
Maybe somebody can give me some feedback.
If I can not find a solution, I need to sell and change OS, which I do not really want.
Thanks in advance, take care and enjoy your time here.

BT x WIFI
Ohhh it's bad I know.
I looked around a lot about this. Seems like there's not much we can do, due to the fact that the same antena is being used for WIFI and BT at the same time (at least thats what it says for my Tab).
I use BTmono a lot, to watch movies while doing other stuff. BTmono redirects sound to an old Motorola H500 I have here... and guess what.. Can't watch Youtube while using the BT headset! Sometimes wifi gets so bad that I get connection errors simply by reading emails.
The more sound you got going through BT, the worse WIFI will get.
If anyone finds any tips... I will be watching.
BTW: I've tested Wifi every way possible... no security/encryption and in each and every channel and speed. Nothing helps. I have 2 mono headsets, old Motorola and new Jawbone. Things are worse with Jawbone, which is actaully much better for talking on the phone.
I think it's something fixable...
why after 30 seconds you start to ear the other end perfectly?
can you confirm that?
thanks for your feedback,
Paula
