i always think about using my bluetooth headset for regular phone lines.. i did find two ways but none of them worked:
1- a pc software that will enable headset profile on pc so i can use my jabra with my pc but this wont solve the program because the software which i found is not stable+ ive never found a modem which would enable using windows sound system to make a "real" phone calls
2- jabra offers an adapter for bluetooth headsets.. this adapter can connect with "any" blutooth headset and converts what it receives to regular 2.5mm jack...
so if i can find any adapter that would change the 2.5mm jack to regular 3.5mm jackS then i can use any bluetooth headset with speakerphone jacks in my modem....
the problem is that i couldnt find such an adapter.. put in mind is that 2.5mm is not ordinary 2.5mm.. it has one line for mono headphones and anothet for mic.. so i need an adapter that would change this to TWO separate jacks one for mic and one for headphones...
if someone heard of such adapter please help me..
i tried to make my own adapter but i couldnt find the right tools in local stores here...
USB-Dongle?
Hi Mephistodan,
won't a Bluetooth USB Dongle with headset profile solve your problem?
Unfortunately I don't have such a Dongle myself, but heard of several people who use these for sound input/output.
If you combine these with your 'softphone', it should do the job.
cheers,

I know that radio shack in the US sells a splitter like that. It was made for multimedia where it requires a seperate plug for mic and speaker. I have one that I picked up a while ago when I was using a headset on my pc for ip phone. I had to have seperate plug for mic and heaset then, this might work for you.
In looking real quick found this...

Hope that helps
i dont belive that radioshack is in europe
but there are plenty of smaller chains which would prob
have the same products

do you know of any software or and modem that enables using windows sound system for making real full duplex phone calls on regular phone line???
Radioshock in the UK is called Tandy, I have no idea why they decided to rename it though, they carry the same product range as the USA's Radioshack
to let you know there is "land line" plones out there that have bluetooth some are just base station type things some are full phones
try googleing

Hi Mephistodan,
no, sorry didn't have the time for the real important stuff, yet
I'd like to do what you are doing now with Cisco's IP Softphone (I know it's not a regular phone line).
Additionally, I found this @ geek.com:
http://www.geek.com/news/geeknews/2004Jan/bpd20040126023599.htm
Don't know if it is out yet, and what they charge for this gimmick...
OK, one should open up the eyes and READ closely :shock:
These thingy's cost a lot - like you said in your post before....
cheers

ive just ordered all the items i want to do what i want..
but the problem that im thinking of is..
how would the bluetooth headset work,, i mean.. there wont be any signal from the phone that there is a phone call or something.. will pressing answer button will do the thing???
im really afraid that there must be a specific profile on the headset or the transmitter.. i dont know..
someone can help??
haha so i was messing with the radio today and i got it working with no wire. SORTA. So i plugged in the adapter in to the usb port and then stuck my stylus into the 3.5mm jack it fits and it make the radio work. try it. I'm going to try to find some thing to fit into the 2.5 mm jack and see if it works? Ill let u guys know
Lol, reserved
HAHA , it works
wow this worked remarkably well lol and to my suprise you don't have to jam it in there and it fits quite nicely.
it works
nice work and nice find..... yes it works fine
Just be careful not to short anything out, could be bad news!
haha this is tite
Why stylus?
What do you mean by "adapter", konefatp? I assume one of these.
I got me one straight after I got the TP and the radio works just by plugging it in, no need to use the stylus. So I don't see your point.

I think he meant the "stock" multi adapter.
I also use a generic adapter from China and the radio works without any headphones.
It would be awesome if someone could just crack the radio app and get rid of the verification.

Or you guys can be smart about it and flip to the "Headset" dword key to 1 in the registry(hklm\system\state)... so it thinks a wired headset is plugged in, even though it isnt

It would be nice if someone could make a button to toggle that reg key.
Alternatively you can also try the xFM radio player I wrote, it doesn't check earphone and support more features such as read radio text, listen to police station by selecting Japan band etc.
Sorry for that poor interface and you have to use system build-in volume control because it is still under research.
Initially I was going to write a powerful beautiful FM radio player for my Raphael but all users hope me to research TMC for navigation system.
Click FM Radio in my signature to get that FM player..

It doesn't work for me if it doesn't detect the earphones
I can get RSSI 47 but it will still not play until I plug in some earphones.
RDS works perfect without the earphones but not the sound.

If toggling that reg setting does work, then you could create an app that sets it, launches the radio app and waits for the radio app to finish, and then switches it back again - pretty straightforward. However, is anybody getting any signal without the headphones plugged in? I don't seem to get anything.
Cheers,
Steve.
The stylus in the 3.5mm jack socket trick is genius now it looks as though I have some really special aerial. I love it, Brilliant

Because the USB connection is for mounting your SD on your computer, nothing to do with audio.
So you want to use the speaker in your G1? Really don't understand that to be honest...
sorry. its connected via bluetooth, so i want my music playing from the computer through the phones speaker, so that the music follows me from room to room, and use the itunes remote to control music, is this possible??
I use Gmote to do what your saying but instead of connect thru BT I connect thru thru the wifi connection in my house.
yea thats what i'll be doing but i want the music from my computer coming out of the loudspeaker of the phone not the computer speakers.

its amazing! just what i was looking for! i was using orb on my ipod touch, but this is very impressive!
could do with a search function tho!
Yessir, if I remember right they added the feature to play videos from your computer to your phone if they were in the right format. I haven't used the app for awhile I just might go home and play with it again.
do you have to be in the range of your wireless router for this to work? I assume so...

You can do it over 3g too but you would have to set it up for external IP address in settings. Pretty easy if I can remember that right. It was really cool at friends party a while ago when I got my phone out and browsed thru my PC at home to find a song a listen to it. 3 iPhone users starred in disbelief....

What are you trying to do? I think I understand, but why? Even using it in speakerphone mode would suck...I am just confused as to the functionality of it is all, but it could probably be done...
Well I dont want buy bluetooth headset you know how you use it as speakerphone to talk to people, can you it as mic
Hmmm...I dunno. I don't have a PS3 to try. I was just curious about why, but that makes sense.

Pretty sure if you did get it to work that the background noise would irritate anyone on PSnetwork trying to listen to you. That being said the PS3 only recognizes certain bluetooth profiles (mainly the HID profile) which the hero does not have. In short, there's no way that I know of to do it. Many have tried to get it to connect so they can use it as a keyboard or remote, but no one has been able to do so yet.

You need an audio external in... I had one installed at a car audio shop

I've looking at a few head units to replace my existing stereo. I tried a few units with built in bluetooth at the local big box store.
I set up my phone to play both bluetooth audio and attempted to make a phone call, but the 'helpful' store employee asked me to put my phone away (evidently they're afraid I was amazoning the price). I told the guy I was pairing the bluetooth, but he didn't care. Too bad, because making a phone call would've sealed my sale. I guess I'll amazon it.
I was deciding between a Kenwood & Sony... sorry I didn't get a chance to record the model numbers, but they were ~$175.
They can't exactly forbit you from using your phone you know...that's not legal methinks

Actually, they can, inside their store. It's private property and they can ask you to either turn off your phone or leave. If you refuse to turn it off, they can tell you to leave. If you refuse to leave, you're legally trespassing and they can have you arrested.
In any case, they clearly didn't want your money.

Yeah but they can't physically touch you without getting sued. I have two sales / retail jobs.
I have a Kenwood in my car with BT. It auto connects to my Incredible but only if I have the "phone" option under advanced BT settings set to connect. If I just have media set to connect it wont auto connect. But if you use the hands free BT then you'll be fine. It'll auto connect to both phone and media audio.

Well sure, but where did he say they touched him?
The guy didn't threaten me, he just kind of shrugged and pointed towards the spy camera. I ended up with a Clarion _Z500 (I forget the first letter) for $50 off since it was missing the remote. I didn't need the remote since I sit 2' away. Thankfully everything can be accessed via the panel.
It's nice (though not as good as the one in my acura). Via bluetooth it pauses music, answers calls, accesses my phone book and makes a decent call with the included mic.

Thats good. If you use. PowerAmp as your music player you can start music and skip songs with BT controls. And IMO its the best music player out, period.

I second the PowerAmp notion, it is THE best. I highly recommend buying full version to help support the dev.

Yeah, but the problem with FM transmitters in my experience is that if you drive between counties you usually have to change stations and the sound quality is meh.
It also doesn't work well anywhere that FM radio signals have trouble getting to.
