IPhone version 2 and stereo bluetooth

the specs say bluetooth 2.0 + edr but nothing about supporting A2DP which stereo
bluetooth headphones require. anyone know if the new iphone supports this?

I don't usually pile on, cuz I like Apple (I really do...).
But this refusal to include A2DP is just inexcusable. It was bad enough forcing me to buy a bunch of various adapters so I can use my own headphones (Apple: are you listening? Those ear buds do not, in fact, fit the ears of every person on the planet), and I'm glad they saw the error of their ways with the next gen, but still no stereo bluetooth? My old phone was a piece of sh*t Motorola Q, but at least I could use my stereo bluetooth headset with it. And the iPhone is supposed to be "the best iPod [you've] ever made?" Apple? All that multimedia power and 3 different radios built-in, including bluetooth, but because you've taken some weird stand on A2DP I'm stuck with a dangling wire, just waiting to get snagged on a piece of equipment sending my $600 iPhone (thanks Apple!) hurling to the gym floor?
I just hope they're not taking some warped principled stand (I have no idea what principle) like they did against the 2-button mouse for practically decades in the face of almost universal disdain (or like they seem to be doing with MMS - yeah I know...e-mail, but it's not the same thing). Yes, you can make the argument that the iPhone cannot do everything - but it's already got bluetooth, and all Apple would need to do is include a simple profile. What the heck does Apple care what headphones I use to listen to music on my iPhone anyway?

  • E65 and stereo bluetooth

    I really like the look of this phone as it is a step up from my 6233 which has been a great phone.
    The big disappointment with the 6233 was the lack of stereo bluetooth support.
    As the E65 support BT 1.2 I assume it supports bluetooth stereo and that I can use the Nokia or other BT stereo headsets.
    Can anyone confirm this is the case? Also, what, if any, pitfalls are there in the E65 BT stereo support?
    TIA

    I'm not sure whether using Nokia bluetooth headset or audio adapter instead of other brands can make it stereo or not.
    you understand it wrong, there are many nokia phones that supports A2DP, however E65 is not one of them...
    these have A2DP or Bluetooth Stereo-> N91 8GB, N95, 5700, E90, 5300, 6300 among others
    if the phone does not have A2DP, there is no way you can have any stereo BT, although there is one device that claims otherwise, but i think i can not put the link here just do some search with MSI bluetooth...

  • IPhone 4 Win7 and the bluetooth driver among them

    Hello,
    I'm trying to connect my new iPhone 4 with my computer (IBM x300 with Win7) via Bluetooth.
    It seems like there is a driver problem. Although both devices can see each other they cannot connect and the message I get is about a driver.
    Where can I download the right driver?

    Bluetooth for tethering is used so your laptop can connect to the internet using your cellular connection without having to wire your iPhone directly to the computer.
    Bluetooth supports several different services and each has it's own profile. Some phones allow files to be sent to a computer through bluetooth but the iPhone does not support this. For the files that you typically store on an iPhone (your iTunes media files) this would be so painfully slow you would be better off just to plug it in. It would be as if you had decided to scrub all your floors and decided that an electric toothbrush would be a good tool because it's electric (ooooo... electric).
    There are some services that I would like to see supported, like having your computer display when you get a call on your cell phone or dialing from your computer, however I'd be even more thrilled if those were enabled over wi-fi.
    Bump has replaced bluetooth transfer from handheld to handheld for me and the latest version allows you to send things you forgot to send after the person you sent them to walks away.
    Sending larger amounts of data will also burn through some battery time so you'll want to plug into something to charge, so might as well be plugging into a faster connection to where you are sending as well.

  • IPhone / iPod (keyboard and mouse bluetooth support)

    I would like apple adopt bluetooth and keyboard support for the update on iOS 8+. I love using it like a little computer where I can use my keyboard and mouse to go through the content.
    Reasons:
    1. Easier to click on small icons on games and software where icons seems to small. example when playing games like the simpsons / family guy game for iOS
    2. Using the mouse to scroll text naturally up and down using the mouse wheel or gesture
    3. Easier to highlight text especially when making new messages via email, sms, chat etc.
    4. When doing tutorials for new people who bought an iPhone / iPad etc. makes it easier to show them what are you clicking.
    5. Makes it easier to multi-task!
    Apple please consider this.

    This is a user to user forum and Apple can't be reached by posting here, sorry.
    You'll have to use the feedback link:

  • Is there a stereo bluetooth headset that can pair with more than one device at a time?

    Is there a stereo bluetooth headset that can pair, i.e. multipoint, with more than one device at a time?
    Are the MacBook and iPhone 4 capable of multipoint bluetooth technoloagy?
    The goal is for my wife to be able to watch her Korean TV soap operas on her MacBook and still receive a call on her iPhone 4 via a stereo bluetooth headset.
    I was looking at the Motorola S10-HD but after further review saw that it only pairs with one device at a time.
    Appreciate any and all input. My Googling has returned no results.

    You can only pair one device at a time to your 8330, or any other phone for that matter.  The "pairings" are saved to the phone, you can use one or the other and you won't have to pair it again.  Once you turn your bluetooth device on and the phone is on, they will find each other again.
    Hope this helps,

  • Stereo Bluetooth (A2DP?) in iPhone 3GS

    I thought I would hear about the support for stereo bluetooth in the newest iPhones. If it was added, I would have expected that it was talked about in the Developer's Conference presentation. But since there was no mention of it, I'm thinking that it is a no go for now in the iPhone 3GS. Can anyone confirm or deny the the inclusion of this feature in the upcoming hardware?

    Mac OS3.0 does supposedly provide stereo Bluetooth via a car kit but it is not clear how to achieve this.
    In my car I have a Mercedes Benz Bluetooth kit that allows hands free via bluetooth but when I play music via the iPod application I do not get to choose between the iPhone speaker and the car speaker. It plays from the iPhone speakers. I tried to 'trick it' by selecting MB during a phone call. This resulted in music being played via the car speakers simultaneously with the phone call. The sound was crappy - perhaps because it was mono only. When I hung up the phone call the music reverted to the iPhone speakers.

  • Is there anyway to connect iphone to other devices via bluetooth.like nokia and other phones

    Is there anyway to connect iphone to other devices via bluetooth.like nokia and other phones

    No
    Bluetooth is supported for stereo headsets/speakers, handsfree telephone devices/headsets, some keyboards, some peer-to-peer apps from the app store, and tethering where provided by the carrier.
    Other than this, it will not connect to any computer/phone/device.

  • Stereo Bluetooth for Iphone

    Do anybody know if Apple is working on coming up with Stereo Bluetooth for Iphone?

    Here is how I am able to listen to audio thru my bluetooth earpiece from my iPhone's iPod content including video. It works with Apple's bluetooth and Motorola's H5 bluetooth. It's only one ear hence mono sound I believe. I don't have a stereo bluetooth headset to listen to to hear otherwise.
    First make sure the bluetooth is paired and active. Touch phone from home screen< then touch voice mail < then in the upper right hand corner touch audio < your bluetooth device should be visible < touch it.
    Now you should be able to listen to your iPod thru your headset. The only drawback is that the audio is also going thru the iPhone speaker too.
    It works on my iPhone running latest update. Good luck.

  • Stereo Bluetooth w/ Snow Leopard and MacBook Air

    I just bought a Plantronics Voyager 855 stereo bluetooth headset to use with my iPhone and I would like to use it with my MacBook Air as well. Is it compatible with the MBA 1.1 and Snow Leopard?

    my jbl bluetooth stereo headphones no longer have stereo sound but now have only mono since upgrade/ download of snow leopard. they sounded really great for months prior to the upgrade to snow leopard. i have a new imac and paired and repaired the device and still only mono sound.
    what gives? sort of a huge disappointment since i listen to a lot of music on youtube and internet radio. seems like a downgrade to me. if i knew this i would have never upgraded to snow leopard.

  • Which is the best stereo bluetooth for iPhone 4 on the lines of Sony Ericsson MW600?

      Can anyone who has had 1st hand experience with stereo bluetooth that they have used.. come forward with their reviews on them..?  I had a Sony Ericsson MW600 which i have now misplaced... overall they do their job pretty well.. you can use the play, forward and rewind buttons.. and yes of course pick up calls to.. it has multipoint allowing you to connect upto 3 devices at once, although you cannot use all the devices at once, you need to change your device from the bluetooth inbult led menu which can get frustrating at times... but its an option nonetheless.. Also it has radio, which your iPhone does not have.. not that i use it anyways but an added feature for radio enthusiast.. They have a great battery Life too and also you can put in your own in ear headphones which i really apprecaite.. The only downside of these bluetooth are that.. they are not as loud as i would like them to be... but opinions can differ in that area...  So thats my reveiw on the Sony Ericsson MW 600.. Now can anyone suggest me something similar to buy? preferebally a bluetooth which can support other in ear headphones and are nice and loud..

    There isn't any - iPhone simply don't work proberly with a bluetooth headset.

  • Stereo Bluetooth and headphone jack at the same time?

    I'm looking forward to the A2DP support in the firmware 3.0 update. I plan to get a motorokr s7hd. I'd like to be able to output audio from my iPhone 3G to my car via the headphone jack. Can I also connect a stereo Bluetooth headset and just use that in the event of a phone call? Will it mute/pause the music when a call happens?

    You can set the iPod app to output audio to your choice of a BT headset, or the jack output (not simultaneously). A BT headset can still get call audio if paired, but working in one channel only - no stereo.
