I beg to differ, but if those instructions mean out of the box, then
all commandline things are out of the box as well. Commandline
instructions are very nice, but when you're in a car and try to pair
with the car bluetooth, this is not practical at all. You need a gui
there...
You Qtopia guys seem to have a quite unusual (for a unix hackers) POV
;)
then you try to enter your commands on your FR in your car ... I think
I just as well can put my phone aside, drive to my destination, tell
them to wait half an hour, go back and start typing :-)
Framework already supports BT headsets. The fact GUI is missing shows
the lack of interest from end-users, well, i think it'll change soon.
hmm ... I thought end-users were people actually using the phone, not
unix-hackers ... but I saw the announcement of a bluetooth gui for
Om2008, aboeit for bluez3. Oh wait, that's what qtopia does as well
:-) But since the newer kernels are there: no bluez3, thus no qtopia
bluetooth ... hopefully for Om2009 final that'll change.
Also, the person that wrote that wiki says However, I couldn't get an
actual voice over it, just crackling. If this is no longer true,
somebody should change it.
Somebody should finally try to use this support and report the
findings. Of course, Jan, who wrote the code, tried it and it worked
for him. And BTW please take into account it seems that not all
headsets are compatible with BT chip we use (at least it was the case
some time ago, i guess i need to try again with my not-working headset
and latest bluez and bluetooth-testing kernel branch).
heh, trying to get your non-working headset to work, are you? :-)
