[QtExtended] Bluetooth car handsfree in 4.4.2
Hi list, I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out the last missing pieces of a puzzle :) I'm trying to use my bluetooth car handsfree under QT Extended, and so far made good progress. Using the 2.6 kernel from the android download, the rfcomm bug in the bluetooth driver seems to be solved. With this kernel, I am able to pair, and 100% of the features of the car handsfree do work, e. g. an incoming call is registered and I am able to answer, outgoing calls made through booth Qtopia Dialer and the handset work, etc... But the problem is I get no sound - at no end of the call. So I saw from the Qtopia logs that the state file was missing, and I downloaded one from this [1] page, confirmed to work. Now I get static noise in the headset, which I suppose is a good thing (tm) :), but still no sound. In a call, I've tried to change alsamixer, but to no avail. That leads me to suspect that it's not an alsa problem at all. I instead think that Qtopia is not routing the audio properly. So my question is: How does Qtopia handle audio via bluetooth, is it like described in [1]? Do I need some alsa/bluez tweaking (not state files) here? Has anyone tried this yet? I strongly believe this can work and that I am on the right path. It seems it's just something silly I'm missing :( Cheers, - Benedikt [1] http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Manually_using_Bluetooth#Bluetooth_Headset_on_Freerunner www.relamp.tk This e-mail is digitally signed by a PGP key, to verify it's authenticity.

Angus [1] http://handheldshell.com/bluetooth_pcm [2] http://handheldshell.com/BtHeadset.py Hi Angus! After two hours of fiddling with Python (don't ask) it finally works with [2]! Thank you very much!!! So, your guess was right - Qt Extended doesn't yet route the Audio properly. Just a note for everyone wanting to try this: Modify Angus' script, to comment out the passkey connection if you have already paired with QT Extended. This is for Lorn from the QT team - is there any setting in a config file to tell QT extended which alsa device to use for the bluetooth handset? Does it work that way?
