Connect mic on mobile using bluetooth to nook - Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey,
Just curious is there and app, hack, or whatever to use the mic on your mobile phone as a mic for your nook. To connect using bluetooth?
My bluetooth on the nook works great between it and my phone. I am using nighly build 54 of CM7 with Dalagin's OC kernel.

In a slight hijack, where do I start using bluetooth? Can I:
Tap a contact and dial it on my phone?
Pop up an incoming call notification on my NC?
I know that (at least some of) this will depend on the profiles on my phone, but if my phone+NC == Android phone, I'm very interested.

To my knowledge, bluetooth microphones are still not working. That means using your phone as the mic would probably not work as well.
As for the notifications, an interesting idea. I think that they would have to be an application on the phone to reinterpret how your phone handles incoming calls. I don't know too much of the specifics so cannot give any useful information on this...
Regarding selecting a contact and having it call on your phone, I think that you could potentially rig a google voice account to do that for you. I know that you can use the webUI for google voice to make a call and connect your mobile to whatever number you want to call, so I think it is feasible to mimic that functionality using the NC's contact lists (which should be your google contacts anyway). Hope that helps.

I'm running 7.0.2 stable and I have had no luck getting a bt headset to work. It pairs just fine but has been completly un-usable. I'm using csipsimple for a phone app (Have tried others as well) but everytime I recieve a call or try to go off-hook to place one the app crashes with the headset paired. Otherwise it works fine, it registers with my pbx just fine and will notify me of vm I have.
I have a asterisk pbx setup at my home and have setup my HTC Eris (hero) running cm7 just fine with the same config (App+headset)
But the nook not so much.. I belive the mic function of the bt pair isn't working properly yet.

I'm usign GrooveIP (Market) for my VOIP app. It ties in w/ GoogleVoice and I can make and receive calls no problem. However, I cannot have my paired BT headset work with the app. No audio to or from the headset.
Has BT development been put on hold right now? I would like to get this going, but I am not a high level programmer. I will offer what assistance I can.

Did you get a wired headset to work? I got groove to call and I could hear clearly on my end,but they got nothing on the other end. Then when I hangups, groove crashes out.

It's a known issue w/ GrooveIP. I've sent log files over to the devs of GrooveIP, and they are very responsive and I believe genuinely interested in getting their app to work w/ the NC.
With that said, I think the majority of the problem resides in establishing two-way voice communication between the headset and the NC. What it involves to fix that, I am not sure yet, but I am digging into it further on my free time. Again, I am NO programmer (I wish I had the aptitude to get past prime reads), but I will do what I can.

any further progress on this, gents?

Voip Wizard

Bought a wizard on ebay, nice refurb with all new accessories and battery for a good price...the only reason I bought it was for voip, if it scratched my right nut I could care less, all the other features are 2nd to voip for me.
It worked best with wm5 and sjphone, wm6 and it's voip capabilities are no better than any other 3rd party app I have tried.
Even with a plugged in headset there is echo, it's not a config problem it's as simple as audio feeding back from from input to output, and vice versa. I know alot about voip and setting it up, I provide hosted asterisk servers to business and do all the configs myself.
Is there a htc product that does voip properly through the ear piece?
And is blue tooth at least usable, as I understand it you need to load some audio drivers to get the best out of it?
Any advice from someone who has had success would be appreciated, I understand that fixing the ear piece problem is likely far off.
Thanks
no voice when using voip
Hi, i am new to voip (as i only recently moved from my home country), i am using it on my pc and got it configured on HTC P3600 (TRINITY). i am using VOIPRAIDER to call, my calls go smoothly and receivers can hear me but i hear nothing not even thru speaker, no outgoing ring, no voice. secondly i installed sj phone etc on PDA but don't know how to use. can someone tell me. thanks

SIP Client for Vibrant?

I've been trying to find a SIP client for the Vibrant that works well. Everything I tried has had bad audio quality. Typically the outgoing voice is reported as distorted. The incoming is somewhat better, but tends to have breakups.
I've tried a lot of clients. sipdroid, fring, etc.
Does anyone have this really working well?
I am very interested in this as well. I can't seem to get SipDroid to connect to my Cisco Call Manager. Anyone with advice would be appreciated!
Thanks,
fF
fring works OK.
SIPDroid works great for me, another excellent one is the 3CXPhone for Android.

Are you using any special options (codecs, mic settings) to get good quality on your outgoing voice on SIPdroid. The incoming seems fine to me, but the outgoing is distorted with some breakup on the other side.
Probably depends on the system you are connecting to. I am connecting to a 3CX phone system.
I have been dealing with the same issues lately. However, SipDroid and 3CX seems to connect well. Now I need a recommendation on the actual SIP provider and configuration if these. I definantly want to use these on 3G.
Peace

I use sipgate as my provider with sipdroid..the quality isnt too bad the person on the other end sounds somewhat low/and they often tell me ..they can kinda hear an echo.
I always have people complaining about the echo. I can hear them quite fine though.
By using SipDroid, I can sort of cut down the volume of the echo itself but it's still annoying because I have to speak VERY slow for the other party to hear me.
Peace

Can you make the internal speaker (the one right next to your ear) work with Sipdroid, 3CX?
On my vibrant, they always use the external speakers for voice.
with 3CXPhone just head the toggle button for it. Should work fine.

How do you do that? Even when I select Earpiece, I still hear the sound from the external speaker.

[Q] Are there any SIP programs for the Snap?

There are programs for windows mobile but I can't find any for windows smartphone 6.5 . I'm also looking for stock quotes software... one that can use stocks from non US markets.
I managed to get incoming VoIP/SIP working with a native app but it was a bit messed up. Basically I installed this package: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=596682
and followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299950
I can't get outgoing to work, but incoming works.
Wow you got it working? Which device do you have? I tried with the HTC Maple (called Mobilicity Snap here) and could never get the audio to come through the earpiece.
Anyway, the two programs I've tried that DO work are AGEphone and fring.
On the Mobilicity HTC Snap I got it working, yes. The question was not about using the earpiece, it was about using the native VoIP client. In fact, I did manage to get the VoIP calls through the earpiece but it has a very bad negative effect: the ringer also goes through the earpiece after a few seconds, thus making the ring on incoming calls very quiet. In my opinion, it is much better to use the headset for VoIP calls as it provides excellent quality, no echo and no problems with the ringer.
The problem with outgoing calls is in the way WinMo's VoIP places the calls. They work with Voxalot but not PBXes. I am assuming everybody can just use Voxalot as a middleman between the HTC Snap and the voip provider if there are any problems with outgoing calls.
That's funny, as I could never get it working with the headset. Outgoing calls worked, but only over the speakerphone, while incoming calls had no audio at all. The mic didn't even work; I could press the keypad and get a DTMF tone, but that was it.
Could you tell me exactly which steps you took to get the audio to come out of the earpiece? I kind of gave up and am using fring, but it would be interesting to see how you did it.

Sorry, apparently I was wrong, even with the earpiece hack (I tried both of them) the most you can achieve is to get the ringer to go through the earpiece but once the call connects it goes back to the speaker.
The only solution is to use the headset. I tried for outgoing only and I am able to dial, send DTMF and speak, so the mic works well.
With the native client on the HTC Snap VoIP works only with headset. Overall, I have been using WinMo for about a week and I can say that I hate it more than any other OS I have used. I wish we could get Android to boot but seems like the CPU on the Snap is messing up the effort.
Fring is also garbage on WinMo. It often fails to connect and when it does connect the call quality (over WiFi) is much worse compared to Fring on S60 or iOS. It eats the battery like a monster, something that doesn't happen on S60. There is no way to change/silence the ringtone with Fring on WinMo and if a call comes over the GSM line while you are on a call with Fring your Fring call goes through the speaker, very embarrassing.
I got my Snap for 100$ from Mobilicity and I think the hardware is worth it, but Microsoft should be paying me for being stuck with their useless OS.

native SIP client with Bluetooth

Dear all,
I post here since I wanted to get some idea on how the internet calling feature is working for you using a bluetooth headphone.
I have quite some experience with VoIP. Ran it on my SIP Phone since years, on softphones on my laptop, and now on Android with a GalaxyTab and SipDroid / native VoIP app.
I recently added to my GalaxyTab a Jabra Stone 2 bluetooth headset, it hooks up fine, so I moved from SipDroid on Froyo 2.2 to the Native VoIP client included in Overcome 3.1.0 / Gingerbread 2.3.3 because I was keen on the integrated bluetooth features (answer with the bluetooth button).
But I discovered the VoIP function using bluetooth is working properly only over 3G, strangely over WiFi I can't understand anything from the other end (the same with the incoming and the outgoing calls), it's like an intermittent / discontinuous sound, but strangely, everything is fine after 30-34 seconds, sound quality great, just like from the 1st second of an Internet call over 3G.
I repeat, it happens only when the WiFi is ON, if WiFi is OFF and I use 3G, everything work properly.
In these conditions the internet calling feature is not satisfactory.
I tried 3rd party software again (Cipsimple, Sipdroid, ecc) and even there the same bad call quality when WiFi is turned ON and I use a bluetooth headset.
I also tried a Blueant Q2 bluetooth headset, same problem.
Maybe somebody can give me some feedback.
If I can not find a solution, I need to sell and change OS, which I do not really want.
Thanks in advance, take care and enjoy your time here.

BT x WIFI
Ohhh it's bad I know.
I looked around a lot about this. Seems like there's not much we can do, due to the fact that the same antena is being used for WIFI and BT at the same time (at least thats what it says for my Tab).
I use BTmono a lot, to watch movies while doing other stuff. BTmono redirects sound to an old Motorola H500 I have here... and guess what.. Can't watch Youtube while using the BT headset! Sometimes wifi gets so bad that I get connection errors simply by reading emails.
The more sound you got going through BT, the worse WIFI will get.
If anyone finds any tips... I will be watching.
BTW: I've tested Wifi every way possible... no security/encryption and in each and every channel and speed. Nothing helps. I have 2 mono headsets, old Motorola and new Jawbone. Things are worse with Jawbone, which is actaully much better for talking on the phone.
I think it's something fixable...
why after 30 seconds you start to ear the other end perfectly?
can you confirm that?
thanks for your feedback,
Paula

[Q] Connecting phone to tablet?

Is it possible to connect an android phone to the tablet through Bluetooth, WiFi or even usb and make and receive calls and sms through the tablet?
tried searching, but all i can find is how to use the phone's internet connection, but cant find any information on how to connect to the cell phone part for calls and sms.
you can use a app called textab ..or sms sync ..
for sms phone calls .. only thing i know of is like google voice or like skype.
Will those work with the iphone as well? I'd love to have texts pushed to my tablet.

There is an app in the market called AirDroid that will allow you to text through your tablet. It will connect to your phone via wifi using a web browser, I am using Skyfire. I am not sure if you can make phone calls, but you can transfer music and photos. Hope this helps.

Airdroid is a very nice and useful app. thanks for that.
unfortunately, no phone function though.
years ago, i had an old "dumb" phone that i connected to the computer with bluetooth and was able to make and receive calls from it.
wonder why it is not available with the so called "smart" phones.
even to just be able to use the tablet as a hands-free device to answer calls would be useful to me. i can do it when the phone is connected to the computer with bluetooth. but when i try to connect the phone to the tablet, nothing happens. it tells me that it is paired but not connected and no other options are available on either the tablet or the phone.
They have a program called tablet talk on the market. You can make and receive txt true the tablet and see incoming phone calls on the tablet from the phone thru Bluetooth or wifi
If your on sprint, you can just integrate your cell number into google voice, with groove ip I can make calls and SMS from gvoice app

It's a very interesting concept. It's something that I would be interested as well.
Tablet Talk and Texttab allow to send and receive SMS when connected to the phone by BT.
Tablet Talk works with most tablets with a Wi-Fi connection but not with the iconia a100/500
For phone calls, there is still another problem with the a500 : it's the low volume of the microphone, anyway...
Google voice plus goove IP... your welcome.
Thanks, but I already have a voip service.
not what i am looking for.
like to have a direct access to the cellphone part from my tablet. or at the very least, use the tablet as a handsfree device.
but i guess it is asking too much and it is not possible or there would have been something on market to do that by now.
oh well...
Use phone with tablet
Hi,
I'm interested in this aswel ...
Primarily the idea is that say I have a Samsung Note, which is a bit big to hold up to your head to make a call, to be able to connect a phone to the Note and make/receive calls using the phone but through the Note. A bit like a bluetooth headset, but using a phone.
Before anyone says it, I have a B'Tooth headset, but I hate them - I don't want to look like a cab driver 8)
Cheers,
Stu
I use TexTab. I love it. It allows me to create new texts, respond to ones that come in, and even displays alerts for incoming calls. I can leave my phone charging in one room of my house while I use my Iconia in another room to text through my phone.
Bluetooth only
Here is the thing. I installed an android tablet in my car, and now i am trying to sync it to my phone in regard to phone calls and sms. I know google voice can do that but i am not planning on putting internet connection on the tablet since it will almost always be in the car. My old TomTom had a bluetooth sync with my phone and could receive phone calls from it .. is there any possible way i can do that and sync my tablet with my phone via bluetooth ???

You posted in very old thread. As an answer to you Bluetooth mic support is not available with the a500 in either direction, so it will not do as you want
MighyText
I use mightytext. Its simple.and does not need to be connected either by bluetooth nor wifi. Works like.. charm. Just download it.on both your android devices. Very simple
