Windows XP bluetooth headset profile | The Coffeehouse

Hard work never killed anybody, but why take a chance?

Does Windows XP have a headset profile? It seems to support all of the other profiles. Basically what I want to do is pair my cell phone to my computer, where my computer is acting as a headset. Then I want to write a C# that notifies me when there is an incoming call on my cell phone. That way I can turn my ring off when I am in the office.

Nevermind. I figured out a different way to handle it.
I connect over the serial port profile to the phone.

I used the System.IO.Ports.SerialPort in .NET.

It works pretty well. In fact I can dial and do some other stuff from the application.

Can you send some sample code on how to do this? I want to have similiar interaction with my phone (ie Dial, Answer calls, etc). Thanks

That is an excellent idea for an app. Is it something you can eventually share?

Wheres my head at?

Have you tried Float's Mobile Agent?

It's been in development for several years and now does pretty much anything you could want to do with a mobile phone over serial/bluetooth/IR.

Its pretty polished and supports loads of phone models.

I posted the code in the sandbox on July 31st.

I have since made some changes, but this should get you started.

Excellent, thanks! I have the Palm Treo 700w (WinMobile 5.0) so we'll see what I can get working.

I have an unlimited data plan so I have it set to sync with our Exchange server constantly, which eats up a lot of battery. I'd have to set this up to set it to not sync my inbox when I'm sitting next to my computer. Thanks again for the code!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for posting your code, especially the motorola manuals. i was working on a bluetooth prototype grad school project and I was having difficulty figuring out exactly how to instantiate ATX code until I came accross your fantastic example (and functional c# code). I fortunately had a motorola phone at my disposal.

Out of curiosity, how did you discover which manuals you needed and go about acquiring them? Motorola appears to be one of the closest chip developers to being open source since they are so popular and I haven't had the same luck finding the manuals for my LG phone. Any ideas?

Thanks!
