Mauricio,

Thank you for your reply.

Which Windows CE devices can record audio from Bluetooth headsets?

Sincerely,

I know some old iPAQ could use a headset for SOUND OUT, with some registry
changes. The newer hx4700 and rx3715 support this without any changes.

I'm not aware of any that support SOUND IN...

The rx3715 does not natively support either the headset nor the A2DP (stereo
headphone) profile. Both my Dell X30 and X50 have a handsfree/headset
profile natively. It supports both in and out. That is you can record from
the headset and you can use Skype from the headset.

How did you obtain that configuration, other than assigning
the headset to the Pocket PC?

E.g.: Did you need to edit the registry with a registry editor?

Was there a control panel that was supposed to be used for
the configuration to do the same thing?

Did you have to do anything else to record and use Skype?

Sincerely,
James

Neither the hx4700 supports the A2DP (unless you install an extra software)

In the BT manager you have a BT handsfree/headset profile. You put your
headset in discoverable mode and select new, headset, in the manager. You
got through the usual steps, discover, enter PIN, etc, and you get a new BT
manager shortcut for the headset. At that point, whenever you connect to
that headset, any audio in or out of the PPC is routed to the headset.

I can do the same thing with a 2215, but it takes a registry hack to expose
the headset profile in the manager in the first place. A 4155 doesn't work
as it seems some BT stuff is missing. I don't know about other HP models
first hand.

Nothing has an A2DP profile at this point, until you load the driver that
comes with the HP stereo headphones. That is only output though, as they
don't have a mic. That driver only loads on HP devices, rx3715, 2215, 4155
etc. There was another driver floating around the net (non-HP) that did add
the a2DP profile to other PPCs. I got it to work on an X30, but not on an
X50. Others had different results. It's an underground solution at this
point anyway, and doesn't address the mic issue in any case.

re
"At that point, whenever you connect to

I'm using an Orange SPV M2000 (same as the O2 XDA II I think). When
partnered using the handsfree profile (the only profile that appears in
my bluetooth manager) all phone in/out is routed to the headset
(Jabra250) but no other audio. So for instance the MS Voice Control
doesn;t take input from the BT headset (when put into voice dialling
mode - which incidently isn;t enabled on the SPV but is on the XDA !).

Anyone found a workaround for this?
