BT25 Stylish Necklace Headset ... Can I get it to work?

---

Answer: NO

Ok I've done everything 10 times over, got it to bond, but there's no way the XDAII is sending a call over to it either bonded as a headset or as hands free. Have successfully bonded the PC and a Rikaline GPS using Towas Patch .... so what am I doing wrong ... or am I to wait to the next version of the patch that will include Headset handling (the blanked out pic)?

Anyone else got the BT25 working - the box says it works with the XDAII .... I feel a bit stupid sitting here with a headset on that doesn't work!

Are you enabling "bluetooth headset mode" on the main Today screen, it is easily overlooked.

Yes done that one to bits. Even did I hard reset last night to see if basic Mobile 2003 (with nothing added or taken away) would do it. It didn't so I did a restore.

I suppose the headset could be faulty, but bearing in mind the problems that are most of us are having in one form or another with BT, I guess it probably aint! It also does bond as either a headset or a handsfree (I was reading on here there is a difference). I'm puzzled, coz it should be working!!!

Did you try to bond the headset without towas patch, also when the xda2 finds the headset does it announce that the device supports headset profile? The only other thing I can think of is to check that bluetooth is on rather than in discover mode. The bluetooth stack ont eh xda2 sucks big time, but it wont be long before they release the solution so hopefully we should be able to use it as it as designed to be used, I could never understand the logic of releasing hardware capable of so much then using brain damaged software to cripple it.

Ok - swapped out the set at my supplier today and still no change. It bonds and asks for the BT access code which I enter correctly and it appears in the BT bonded list with the GPS and PC. It still doesn't pass over calls, even if I try a manual intervention by pressing on of the keys on the headset as instructed. I've ticked the headset and tried headset mode bonding and handsfree bonding. I've also tried bonding from the discoverable mode in the on mode.

I've also tried a complete hard reset last night and then bonded with the same result.

Think I've exhausted this one and am going to wait for the 02 Rom upgrade (or is that really a Microsoft one)?!

Stop -press ... it just seems to have started working in headsetmode ... not handsfree .... I am trying to work out why ..... this has been 3 days of trying!!! Maybe the original headset really was the problem
