bluetooth headset profile problem opp and pbap - maemo.org

jt777 | # 1 | 2011-02-07, 19:36 | Report

Hi there. I just recently purchased a new headset. It is supposed to announce the callers name when a phone call comes in, but it is not working properly. It says that your phone must support pbap (phone book access profile) or opp (object push profile). I am using the blueant T1 headset. I contacted Nokia's tech support and it's a joke. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I can't speak for the N900 but that profile is extremely rare to find in phones. You'll be lucky if you can take advantage of that on any platform.

This headset works perfectly on my brothers iphone and on an old windows mobile 6.1 spriint mogul phone that I have. What gives?

I have a bluetooth icon which supports the same thing, unfortunately the N900 does not (unless I'm mistaken). All I got was the number announced in my ear, never the name.

I am 100% sure that N900 supports opp.

Just go the directory where you downloaded 2 .deb files and run(as root)

Code:

dpkg -i libopenobex2_1.5_armel.deb
dpkg -i obexd2_0.35-0maemo1_armel.deb

PS. You can use TAB so you don't have to write manually file's name. Just write first 2-3 letters and press TAB(ctrl+i).

Sorry, but I am new to this stuff. The two files are located in
Nokia n900/Documents folder. Not sure what you mean by run(as root).

help! Thanks.

Have you installed rootsh? It enables you to get root access on your N900, if you haven't then install it from the App Manager first. Then in the Terminal type

Code:

sudo gainroot
dpkg -i MyDocs/.documents/libopenobex2_1.5_armel.deb
dpkg -i MyDocs/.documents/obexd2_0.35-0maemo1_armel.deb
