Recommend BT dongle that supports HSP (hands free-headset) profile?

Can anyone recommend a third-party Bluetooth USB dongle that does support the HSP profile for hands-free headsets?
I recently bought the Kensington USB Bluetooth 2.0 (model# 33348) dongle and it sadly doesn't support HSP profile. I'm ******.

HSP is not supported on the Mac. You are looking for the HS (Headset) Bluetooth profile. You should go for a D-Link DBT-120 Bluetooth USB adapter for this. Do not go for a DBT-122.

Bluetooth connectibility for hands-free headset

With the introduction of iOS 4.3, is it possible to connect a bluetooth headset with either the iPad1 or iPad2?

The following page that list the BT profiles has not been revised. The Users Guide for iOS 4.3/iPad 2 reference that article. However, you can now tether an iPad (w/iOS 4.3) to a iPhone to get an internet connection (if you have the tethering plan for the phone) and that is not discussed in the article.
BT article:

Some users have reported that they have gotten a BT headset to pair with an iPad. Most headsets use the Hands Free Profile which the iPad does not support. You need one with the A2DP profile.

Volume too low on ringer and with hands-free headsets

Both the ringer's volume and the volume within headsets are too low in my new Droid X. When holding it to my ear while talking it is loud enough well below max volume, but hearing people through headsets while driving is often too low with all volumes set to max (on loud freeways, for example). I usually keep my phone's ringer on silent vibrate, but it would be nice to be able to turn it up louder when the phone is sitting on a desk at home. Cell phone ringers can be obnoxiously loud, but there are times when people need to have them turned up.
Because it is an issue in both the ringer speaker and the jack for wired headsets, it seems like there is a good chance of getting a software fix to raise the max volume levels. Reading posts on forums, it seems clear that this problem is widespread in most, if not all, Droid X devises.
If you are having similar problems, please take a moment to call both Verizon and Motorola with a polite report of the issue. I spoke with both today and they said they were aware of the issue, and the tech at Motorola said they were "looking into" a software fix for it. If enough people call and report it, we have a better chance of getting a fix sometime soon.
Verizon's support line is: (800) 922-0204.
Motorola's is: (800) 734-5870 (I chose #6 for "other issues" a couple of times after routing into Droid support to get a live tech)
It can be frustrating to filter through the support systems and report it, especially if they tell you to try obvious things like rebooting the phone and turning the volume up, but it really is the only way to get them to fix this issue. Both techs I spoke with actually looked in their systems right away and acknowledged the issue is being reported by people.
Of course, if anyone has a real solution to this issue, please let us know what it is!

Thanks for the suggestion JKramer. I should have been more clear about having adjusted all volumes up in the settings screen. Assuming all sound options are located within the "Settings --> Sound & Display" screen, then yes, I have tried changing them. I have also tried changing the option to "use incoming call volume for notifications" under the "ringer volume" settings, after reading that someone had success in improving volume that way.
This issue is not a problem all of the time. It is only an issue when there is an elevated level of background noise, such as driving on the freeway, or having music or a movie playing in the room.
The phone is otherwise excellent! I live and commute in areas of very spotty reception (with all cell providers), and this phone will keep calls and not even have voices garble where my past two phones have consistently dropped calls in at least five problem locations. So far, everything else about it seems to work great!
Maybe some of these phones don't have this issue. Or, maybe the people who say they don't encounter the problem are lucky enough to live in relatively quite environments most of the time. In a quiet house or office, it is certainly loud enough. It just needs to have the option for increased volume when in noisy places. The issue is that its "max volume" settings are not as loud as with other phones.
Searching for something like "Droid X volume" will indeed show many people experiencing these same problems on various forums...

4G iPod w/iOS 4.3.3 Now Supports the Bluetooth Hands Free Profile

I was just answering a question and went to the following Apple link:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Supported Bluetooth profiles
With iOS 4.3.3, the 4G iPod now supports the Hands Free Profile (HFP) that many BT headset use.

Those crash maybe is about the new iOS4.3.5 , i also meet the same problem just like you
The whole device became very lag , even worse i can't open some app cause crashed.
What i done is connect to iTunes with my iPod gen4 and iOS4.3.5 in Windows 7 ,and restore it .
First you have to enter the "DFU mode" , shut down your iPod 1st and hold the power button and home button and the same time, and then release the power button after 4 second with holding the home button another 10 second , your device may enter the DFU mode
Second , open your iTunes , select "Restore" .
After i restore my iPod then everything is fine again , try on yours =]

N95 and Toyota Bluetooth hands-free system

On 11th March I purchased a used (55 plate) Toyota Corolla Verso and as part of the deal had the Toyota Bluetooth hands-free system installed.
Everything worked fine with my Sony K600i which has eventually given up the ghost and required replacement.
I opted for the Nokia N95 and after a short wait due to stock availability it was delivered to my home address on Friday 4th May.
My initial "very impressed" thoughts soon changed to disappointment when I tried to pair the N95 with the Toyota hands-free system...
Unlike the Sony, the phone does not automatically detect that the Toyota system is searching for it.. but I can bypass this by manually searching for other devices with the phone whilst the Toyota system is searching.
I'm then asked to input the pass code (default 1234) on the phone... which I do... and the Toyota system announces that the pairing has been successfull... connection in progress... however the phone then flashes a message stating that it is not possible to pair with the Toyota system at which point the Toyota system declares "connection failed".
I've tried numerous times now with Remote Sim on and off, deleting all paired devices and starting from scratch etc etc...
I've been and spoken to the Toyota Dealership and of course they claim that there's nothing wrong with the car kit - it worked with the phone I had when I bought the car and it's not their fault I've changed to a phone which is incompatible.
As far as I can tell, the N95 has Bluetooth 2.0 installed (so did the Sony) and I understand that this *is* backwardly compatible and as such should meet the technical requirements of the Toyota System... however the lady on the service desk at the Toyota Dealership stated that there could be other issues too, but was either not able or not willing to specify what those issues would be. She suggested that the only way they would possibly be able to do anything about it would be only if Customer Relations gave them authorisation to do so and gave me their telephone number (01737 363633).
Having spoken to Toyota Customer Relations, they simply infer that it's my fault for purchasing a phone that is not compatible - but even they declined to provide me with documentary evidence (which they claim to have) proving that it is not compatible. Instead they suggested that the only course of action I would possibly have would be to speak with the dealership.... who have of course already told me that they are not able to do anything without the say so of Toyota Customer Relations.
I get the feeling someone isn't quite telling the truth...
I figure that the only way I'm going to have any recourse with Toyota is to prove beyond doubt that the phone is compatible with the requirements of the Toyota system... according to the Toyota Bluetooth hands-free system owners manual I merely need to ensure that any desired phone supports Bluetooth hands-free profiel 0.96 or 1.0.
I've tried asking O2 - they didn't know the answer and suggested I should call Nokia.
I've called Nokia on the following numbers:
08450 545454
08700 555777
09067 547540 (premium rate £0.75 per minute)
08706 092832
08450 045555
Each without success... note that the 08706 092832 number was answered by an extremely unhelpful, arrogant lady... you can probably sense I'm beginning to get a little irate now...
I've also tried to call Nokia on 08450 045555 given to me both by the Nokia website and the arrogant lady I refer to above...
At the time of writing this post, I've had the phone to my ear ringing away for 1 hour 16 minutes and counting....
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.... (Me catching my breath so as to stay calm)
Can anybody whatsoever with the slightest element of confidence tell me whether the Nokia N95 supports Bluetooth hands-free profile 0.96 or 1.0??
Any advice, assistance, stress and frustration relief would VERY much appreciated.
Regards

Hello again... I thought some of you may like to know that I have made some progress.
After a rediculously long time on hold with Nokia I eventually opted to hang up and call back... frustratingly I did of course get through straight away only to be told that it was actually one of their quieter days and that there was no reason (as far as the guy knew) why I should have been on hold for so long... regardless... the guy was extremely helpful.
I explained my issue in detail and he advised that as far as he knew, because the phone has Bluetooth version 2, it could/would/should be compatible.
Separately I had also emailed Club Nokia with the full details of my issue.
I had also logged an appeal with Toyota Customer Services (Head Office).
Initially Toyota's response was that technology moves so fast, specifically the mobile phone industry, that technology such as car kits etc are often left inferior. As polite as they were, they basically washed their hands of the problem putting the blame squarely at my feet for purchasing a phone that in their opinion was incompatible.
My appeals regarding viewing it as unreasonable that having only bought the car in March of this year and one part of it already being relegated to a fancy dashboard accessory that doesn't really do much apart from ignore my requests to pair with my phone, fell on deaf ears to say the least. Even though I had directed them towards this and at least one other online forum upon which other Toyota owners claimed to have had their Bluetooth system upgraded under warranty.
Then an email reply arrived from Club Nokia. It specifically stated, "this handset [Nokia N95] has a bluetooth version of 2.0 and does support the headset profile"
Of course, this prompted an immediate phone call to Toyota Customer Services again... quoting my reference number (for my earlier conversation(s) with them) and informing them of the information/clarification received from Club Nokia their tone shifted a little and I was told that they would call me back.
A couple of days later I received a phone call from Customer Services informing me that they had authorised my local dealer to upgrade the Bluetooth system under warranty.
Approximately two days later I had a phone call from the Dealer informing me that the part(s) had been ordered.
And as I sit here typing this right now, they're fitting the new system to my car.
Granted I think there's a chance both the guy I spoke to at Nokia and the emailed response from Club Nokia miss the point slightly as they appear to be relying on the fact that the phone has Bluetooth V2.0 and therefore *is* compatible... this may not necessarily be the case - somebody suggested in an earlier post that the phone is only compatible with handsfree profile 1.5...
However, if Nokia are telling me it's compatible I figured I'd quote that to Toyota and see what happened (afterall I'm not telling porkies, I'm simply passing on the info I obtained from the people who *should* know)...
I think this proves a little persistance certainly goes a long way!
(I guess I just need to test the damn thing when I get my car back later today)

IOS and hand-free in-car messages

When will iOS support reading text messages when the phone is ocnnected to a hands-free headset in a car? All urban areas require hands-free phone operation and text messages are a part of everyone's mobil life. This feature is availble on Winodws phones today and I miss it now that I have an iPhone.

Use Siri as razmee suggests, or purchase an in car system that supports the Message Access Protolcol (MAP) Bluetooth profile.
Siri has done this since iOS 5.0. MAP support was added with iOS 6.0.

W530: Bluetooth hands-free audio problem

Hello,
I have a W530 (2438.2HU) and lately I noticed that the Bluetooth Hands-free Audio driver is disabled. The Device Manageer section for this driver states that
"Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52)"
I went to the Lenovo driver download site; but couldn't figure out which driver to download. Could someone, please, tell me exactly which driver I have to download to fix this issue? Thanks in advance.

Hi @felixchip
What do you have connected via Bluetooth? Did you try the troubleshooting steps from the link in the previous thread we were working on? Is that how you got the Bluetooth error? Does the sound work when you plug in a set of headphones? Try installing your IDT High-Definition Audio driver and let me know if you get an error message when installing it.

N73 - Bluetooth hands-free

I have an N73 and cannot get the phone to even recognise that a bluetooth hands-free is near the phone never mind trying to pair them! I have tried with an original Nokia bluetooth hands-free (which I know works) and a new O2 Blue handsfree. The N73 bluetooth recognises my old handset so the bluetooth obviously works. Any ideas?

Hello there stidhambr15,
I was researching the issue you are having and recommend a couple of things. First it might be a good idea to reset the device following iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't quite get the device going again, I recommend restoring the device.
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
Might even be a good idea to turn off the phone, reseat the SIM card, and turn it back on.

3G iphone cannot support video call & bluetooth only can for hand free

Hai... So suprise that the 3G iphone was below expectation. What a disappointment. They cannot even support 3G Video call and worst of all the blue tooth can only be used for hand free.
The software engineer should look at way to develop a more advance software and use.
Problem encounter:
1. We cannot copy and paste our text.
2. Cannot scroll back to the last function we can only press the short cut key to get back to the main page and start all over again.
3. 3G phone that cannot make 3G call
4. Bluetooth function can only use to connect to hand free not able to send photo, music and etc...
5. Cannot forward SMS
Here is some of the pointer. I have not fully explore the hp. totally disappointed and thing there is more. Hopefully more software update will solve this problems.

Hi everyone!
Just a quick update here, but about two days since my original post, I've made a visit to the AT&T store with my dad, even though AT&T has nothing to do with the phone itself. Then the AT&T service employee told us that a hard reset should do the trick. Then before I did a full backup and restoration of my iPhone software, my dad called AT&T with no luck. He also attempted to call Apple, but without success, b/c the phone was out of warranty.
So, as a last resort option, I performed a backup and did a full reset of the iPhone using iTunes to restore the phone back to where it was since the last iOS update, and the last iCloud backup. The result: it was worth the option because the whole phone's WiFi and Bluetooth got malfunctioned sometime few days ago and after that iOS 6.1.3 restoration, I got both the WiFi and the Bluetooth functions working properly!
The next time any iPhone user comes up with this same situation as mine in the earlier post, don't try visiting the AT&T store b/c they won't help with anything with the phones themselves, and backup and restore the whole iPhone as a last resort when every easy solution fails.

Does the ipod nano 7th gen work with Belkin Blue tooth In car hands free? Customer support said it did when I bought it, but the box doesn't say it does and I dont want to open it in case I have to return it.

If the Belkin supports the A2DP (Stereo Bluetooth) profile then it will work.

I am using an I phone 5 in Germany and trying to get text messaging to work through the hands free Bluetooth connection on a Honda CRV. It keeps telling me that text messaging is not a feature of my phone. messages come in on the phone.How to resolve ?

mono 8 bit 8k is 64kbps, yes. 8 bits times 8,000 = 64,000 = 64k bits/sec.
And yes I think that's a typo - there's no such thing as 'Mone' that I've ever heard of...
But you might want to check to find out if this is a mu-law non-linear format, possibly - there are several ways that 8 bit 8k wav files can be encoded, and typically phone systems don't use linear ones. If you have a log-in to Zultys' user-base system they have an FAQ there, I believe - the answer might be in that, and it won't cost $500.
