Will bluetooth headset be supported by OS2008 for n800

[casparmin]

OS2007 cannot use bluetooth headsets defaultly.

how about OS2008? We still need install other applications to make it work?

I want to buy a nokia bluetooth headset, such as BH200 or BH800 or BH300

If you look in the forums here, there's a hack to enable bluetooth audio already available, but not useful since it consumes alot of CPU.

It's said that 2008 will support it. Trying to enable bluetooth for VoIP was one of the first things i did (i have Bluespoon, it's very nice but no noise cancellation).

Works for me - N810 and Kyocera BT Stereo, no mods needed.
I just plugged in the micro/miniSD card from my RAZR, paired the Kyo's, listened to my 2GB music collection.

I thought that A2DP was not natively supported in OS 2008. I installed OS 2008 on N800, paired Motorola HS9 (BT stereo), and that did not work at all with Media Player.

Is this true??

Did you try gtalk or gizmo calling did the bluetooth headset stream the calls also??

thanks for your advice. you say "there's a hack to enable bluetooth audio already available", is it "A2DP"?

but, I think common nokia bluetooth headsets don't support A2DP? and , I has installed a2dp in my n800, but cannot work with BH200.

I'm not familiar with audio device and software. Sorry. Is there any method to let n800 support HSP or HFP?

[smammon]

I paired my Motorolla BT headphones to my 810 with no problem. Streamed music and all system sounds (including key clicks) just fine - however it was mono only. Have not tested my other two headsets for voip calls yet. but I bet they will work.

Yes, I saw that n810 has supported headset profile (HSP)

[munky261]

mine pairs and works perfectly with my JVC head unit in my car.

[sachin007]

but are you guys getting stereo audio or mono??

[L0cutus]

my nokia hs-11w doesn't work, i'm able to pair and connect, but no audio
at all on my headset...

i.Tech BlueBAND - supports HFP and HSP according to Bluetooth Device Details on N800

According to box specs:
Bluetooth spec 1.2 class 2; supports headset, handsfree and A2DP



I can connect to the N800.
Volume control icon succesfully turns into bluetooth headset icon.
Bluetooth icon turns blue indicating connection.
No audio at all in headset.
I can control the volume setting remotely (bluetooth) through the headset volume buttons.





Haven't done any more experimentation short of connecting through the standard menus.

Would be nice to have a thread dedicated to working/non-working bluetooth headsets?

Headsets like BH-200 IFAIK are not yet supported.
Some code it has been already written, check here https://stage.maemo.org/svn/maemo/projects/connectivity/bluez-utils/tags/bluez-utils-3.22-0osso1/audio/
and also in the new Os2008 /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf you can see that there are options for headet, pcm/hci (that is routing SCO data - which you want for Headset profile - the mono, non delayed mode that transfers data to a normal headset)

A2DP i believe uses rfcomm? so that's why is working.

But i'm pretty sure we will have Skype+headset soon in os2008 ;)

[blakboy98]

My Motorola HT820 and 320 Plantronics can pair and control volume but no sound on os2008 on n800. Has anyone gotten sound on os2008 on n800 working? If so, how.

Do you means bluez has been ported to OS2007 and let n800 support HSP? where can I get it?

[jhoff80]

So, now bluetooth headsets work in the new n800 OS2008 beta, but is anyone else having major issues with static?

I have a Cardo Scala-700, and it sounds like crap on the n800. It works much better with my Treo 755p, which is saying quite a bit considering Palm's bluetooth issues.

[shacky4]

I paired up my Jabra headset no problem. But I am getting some weird clicking static and the sound is mono. Not really useful for listening to music.

The same headset sounds great when paired with my Treo.

Hi, I need to know what sort of BT headset to buy for N800 (after OS2008 upgrade) to enable me to use voip and listen to music, thanks.

From what I've read, it sounds like anything that properly supports HSP (HeadSet Profile) should work, but I think I'd wait a bit and see which are working *well* :)

[EIPI]

My Jabra BT8010 is finally working in HSP mode on OS2008. I also seem to have a clicking sound while its connected. The mono sound in HSP mode is alright. Funny though - I could not hear anything through the headset until I reflashed yesterday. I could pair it, and the N800 internal speakers would cutout when it was paired, but no sound in the headset. I reflashed using the Windows updater and all is well now. Odd though, since I flashed the N800 with the same .bin file off my Linux box initially, and the headset was not working until I reflashed it using Windows.

[doppers]

It's been announced that 2008 is supposed to have HSP profile support so Nokia better get it right for the first time if this product is supposed to appeal to End Users and not just developers.

[R-R]

I just received a BlueAnt V12 and it pairs fine with the N800/OS2008beta.
Though, i wish i could have HFP support to use the caller ID display on the headset.
I don't have any experience with BT headsets as this is the first i even touched but i noticed it played any OS sounds so i disabled the screen "clicking" noise and after a while, if the n800 is silent, the output is cut until a new sound is received.
(to save battery i guess, i don't know if this is from the OS or the headset)
