Widcomm pros/cons for A2DP?

DodgeV83 · #1 (**permalink**) 07-26-2007, 01:47 AM

I just got some nice A2DP headphones, and while I've been able to get rid of almost all skipping, the sound quality still has a small "hiss" to it, so I'm considering installing the Widcomm BT stack. I am currently using BJ's 1.2.

What negatives can I expect from the latest Widcomm BT stack for my 6700? I've read you can't use a headset (for phone calls) and the headphones (music) at the same time, is this true? Currently I have 2 separate devices. If I'm listening to music and a call comes in, the music stops, I take off the headphones, put on the headset and answer the phone. Is this not possible with Widcomm?

I can't tell if people are saying you can't use them both *when their headphones support both*, or if you can't use them both even separately.

I have also read that Voice Dialing and BT PAN both don't work anymore...is this still true?

Thanks guys!

well ive never tried using 2 devices simultaneously, but i think that you would be able to do that. the one problem with the widcomm is if youre using a headset for both stereo and phone then the button mapping on the headset changes and you will hear the ringtone come throught but u must hit talk on the phone to answer the call. but im almost certain that if you can connect both devices then you wont have any problems.

That sounds good. Does Bluetooth PAN have any problems with this? I guess I could just try it out myself, but I'd like to know beforehand if there are any tricks I need to use to get PAN working.

Is this only if you are using a multi-use device?
Can you use the regular button on the headset if you are just using a BT headset for the phone and not music?
