Using a Bluetooth Headset with SP2????

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.bluetooth (More info?)

Well Been there and failed to get SP2 to work with the headset profiles,
eventually I used a second PC with the BT Dongle running Win2000 and the
Widcomm software. Until MS fix the BT support for headsets I'm guessing
we're stuck.

Basically I'd suggest using the Widcomm software and stick with Win XP SP1
untill MS sort it out.

Does Microsoft Bluetooth support any "common" Bluetooth profiles?

As far as I know they started with the HID (Mouse, keyboard) profiles
and a few other which NO KNOWN Bluetooth devices support. Maybe this has
changed with SP2?

The SP2 stack supports LAP (client), and other profiles now:

Headset is not in the list though. My suggestion is to stick to the proven
widcomm software when upgrading to SP2.
