Do I really have Handsfree profile on 2.06 or what?

[amir77a]

I upgrded my imate to 2.06wwe.

I also patched my registry key for the handsfree profile to become active.

I paired my Jabra BT250 headset to the imate, which assigned it the handsfree profile.

I even get the handsfree icon, whenever the imate discover the Jabra headset.

So please can anyone tell me, why I see no difference between headset and handsfree profile.
I suppose to have options such as redial directly from the headset, but it just doesn't work.

Do you think something is wrong?
Maybe something in the configuration?

hmmm.. let's think... handfree hardware... ???

I am already using handsfree hardware.
Both imate & Jabra support and enabled for handsfree.

We are joking right? :wink:

There is no hardware in the world called "handsfree". this is a feature.

The Jabra BT250 headset, support both headset AND handsfree profiles.

Check here. Look under "Supported Bluetooth profiles".

i would say, that headset is a small earpiece with mike in it + bluetooth. however handsfree is a set of separate speaker, mike, it has couple of buttons and it is used mainly in car.

my headset has one button for picking or hanging up phonecalls + volume up/down.

i would say, that every handsfree has two buttons for calls. separate green and red button.
that makes difference for me...

my headset doesn't support handsfree. maybe because it is a headset. not a handsfree.

i don't know about yours...

...so what was the reg hack, you did, to enable handsfree?

do you think, that the problem could be there then?

I'm really not kidding.. )))

Bluetooth Definition:
Chip technology enabling seamless voice and data connections between a wide range of Bluetooth devices through short-range (typically less than 30 feet) digital two-way radio transmissions. Bluetooth version 1.1 is an open specification for short-range wireless communications of data and voice between both mobile and stationary devices. Bluetooth specifies how cell-phones, WIDs, computers and PDAs interconnect with each other, & with office or home phones that are Bluetooth enabled. Bluetooth is a technology, and not a brand. This makes it possible to mix and match virtually any Bluetooth technology device.
The only concern that arises is to determine if the Bluetooth items use the same "profile" to wirelessly communicate with each other, such as "HFR (hands free)", "HS (headset) ", "DUN (Dial-up Networking)", profiles commonly available in many current production cell-phones. An example of alternate Bluetooth profiles available are "FTP (File Transfer Protocol)", "FP (Fax)", "SAP (SIM)", "LAN (Local Area Network)", "SP (Synchronization)", and many Video & Audio Bluetooth profiles.

Many Bluetooth products only support one profile.
Most current production Bluetooth headsets handle the "headset" profile, but no other profile.
Car kits generally support ONLY the "hands-free" profile, and a few (especially Parrot car kits) support "hands-free", "headset", & "DUN" profiles.
The Motorola Bluetooth USB Data unit uses a "DUN" profile.
