Bluetooth audio playback

---

Hi all
Just got the I-mate and a bluetooth headset. It works fine as far as phone calls are concerned. But I cannot playback audio (MP3's..etc) through it! Any clue?

Another thing is that the foldable keyboard for the XDA doesn't work with it! Is there a new driver?

The Pin Assignment from MDA and MDA II ist a little bit
different. Perhaps thats the reason....

CU

I believe that the bluetooth headset profile only supports voice calls. It's not able to listen to other audio.

although this may be possible with a software upgrade as the ipaq 5550 works perfectly for audio output through a bluetooth headset

yeah, i read that too..there are two patches available for the Ipaq: A free patch, the installation of which did not go through, and a commercial one that I purchased, and this disabled all audio output from the XDA-II!

I am sure there is a solution, just hope we woun't have to wait for long.

As for sound quality, I've read that it is a bit poor, but I still wouldn't mind!

Waiting for a genius

Any solution to this problem yet? I really want to play audio (in that case audio books from audible) via bluetooth.

I've got the jabra 200 BT earset. It has a small cradle for use with phones with no BT support. Now that has what seems to be the same speaker jack as the earphone with the XDA II. So if you have a jabra just pair the headset with the cradle and plug the cradle into your phone. Not perfect but would be interesting to see if it works.

Please note I've not tried this.

mmm.. sounds logic, i think it would work. I heard there will be a new ROM edition with audio playback over bluetooth. No idea as to when, though
