Bluetooth stereo audio on N800?
 

Is it possible to apply bluetooth stereo audio profile (AD2P) to recent hardware? It would be nice to be able to listen music without wires but if that mean new hardware then it will be in next tablets.

Re: Bluetooth stereo audio on N800?
 

Long answer:

Try searching for "A2DP".
Also check the roadmap referenced in the "Maemo Roadmap" thread from a few days ago.

Short answer:

No, the software isn't available (the hardware may be OK though).

Yes there's mention on the "roadmap" about bt-headset support but that doesn't mean stereo audio, probably support mono headset to use it at internet calls. I hope that stereo support will be there if the hardware already can handle it.
I'm getting bored with the pressure dead zone on right side of the screen, it's awful to scroll pages with slider. I have to put more and more pressure to get that slider even move a little bit. Maybe these screens are not so good quality as it looks...

Re: Bluetooth stereo audio on N800?
 

The pressure dead zone is an issue outstanding awaiting official response from Nokia. My guess is they'll deny all knowledge of the fault and ask for the "phone" to be sent in for inspection. Once we know how Nokia intend to deal with the faulty pressure zones I'll be sending two in for repair (that's a 100% failure rate for me).

Further discussion of the pressure deadzone fault should continue in the original thread. :)

A2DP: everyone that wants stereo bluetooth audio go to https://maemo.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=667 and vote to get the feature implemented! Vote for bug https://maemo.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=474 too.

:o Thanks for advice, I'll do that. I hope Nokia will fix that screen problem quickly, it won't look good if so many tablet have this kind of failure. Hmm, 100 % failure rate, Millhouse I wish you good luck with those tablets!

I would really like to support the A2DP feature but I'm not sure how to use bugzilla to vote.
Those Motorola Bluetooth S9 headphones sure do look great!http://www.motorola.com/motoinfo/pro...alObjectId=177

Go to https://maemo.org/bugzilla/ and create an account, login with your new account then view the aforementioned bugs and click on the "Vote for this bug" link in the top third of the bug report.

In theory, the more votes each bug receives the more likely it is that Nokia will take notice and fix the bug or implement the enhancement. That's the theory, anyway. :cool:

Sony Ericsson HBH DS-970 BT headphones are nice as well with excellent stereo audio and microphone and call handling. Very happy with them on my SE W950i Walkman phone, wish I could use them with my N800 though!

The DS-970 can in theory be paired concurrently with mutiple BT devices, so I would hope in future that it might be possible to pair the headset with a mobile phone for standard mobile phone call management yet also pair with the N800 for VoIP and Media Player audio - any mobile phone calls would temporarily interrupt the N800 audio, with the N800 audio resuming when the call is completed...

Well one can dream - just having basic audio would be a start. :)

Re: Bluetooth stereo audio on N800?
 

I might add that these bugs are both marked as being specific to IT2006 and the 770. From what I understand the bluetooth chipsets are completely different for the 770 and the n800 as the n800 is BT 2.0 and the 770 is BT 1.2. Thus A2DP is possible on the n800 but not the 770. If no-one cares I'm going to update the bugs to refer to the n800/IT2007.

Um, I'd like it fixed on the 770. Yes, I can dream. :) Why not make a new bug for os2007/n800 and just mention that in a comment on the two aforementioned bugs?

Re: Bluetooth stereo audio on N800?
 

Larry - I think new bugs for OS 2007 would be a better option. Remember there are votes on the existing bugs and the people who voted did so for 770/OS 2006, not OS 2007.

You could also look upon OS 2006 as the current lowest common denominator and that any enhancement applied to OS 2006/770 should also be applied to later versions of the OS/device (unless specified otherwise), however the opposite isn't necessarily true. For example would Nokia add A2DP to 770 without also adding it to N800 - no, unlikely. Would Nokia add A2DP to N800 without adding it to 770 - yes, quite possibly.

Re: Bluetooth stereo audio on N800?
 

The two statements are somewhat contradictory. The latter being true, it ensues that it is best for everyone, whatever they currently own and use, to vote "en masse" for the 770 bugs :-)

Re: Bluetooth stereo audio on N800?
 

I'm always bewildered when I see postings about "voting" on a bug.. I haven't seen any 'vote' button in bugzilla, and I also fail to understand why a bug has to be voted on in the first place.. feature requests maybe, but bugs are either accepted or rejected, not voted on generally.

Re: Bluetooth stereo audio on N800?
 

In the case of enhancement requests, registering the enhancement against the lowest common denominator device may very well be the best course of action to ensure the enhancement is implemented for all possible devices.

Alternatively, we raise enhancements against specific devices and then suffer the complaints of users when the same enhancement isn't implemented across the board.

It's not a button, it's a hypertext link located immediately above the "Additional Comments" text input field. Voting for a bug is a mechanism that allows users to provide feedback without spamming the bug with "me too" comments.
