Using Nokia headphones via bluetooth

Hi,
G'day all,
After looking elsewhere in the forum, I created the .asoundrc in /home and asound.conf in /etc file as below:
pcm.btheadset {
type bluetooth
device 00:0D:3C:A6:CC:55
Below is the line in /etc/rc.conf
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network netfs crond hal cups alsa samba bluetooth fam sshd virtualbox)
The bluetooth applet (sorry I could not cut n paste the screen)
shows the Nokia BH-501 headset and three bars orange, green and blue and says connected.
From the command line:
mplayer -ao alsa:device=btheadset /data/Music/somesong.mp3
plays fine.
edit:I use alsa. Pulse is not installed.
Question is how do I get the sound when I play a song / movie in smplayer or vlc ?
regards

thnx ngoone.
Oh no particular reason for not using pulse. Just things are working fine (without bluetooth for smplayer, vlc etc) so far.
Any pointers to use pulseaudio and bluetooth headsets ?
Well, assuming your pulseaudio is working fine, the 'pointers' are just:-
1. Pair with device using bluez.
2. Move your stream to the bluetooth headset in pavucontrol (you may need to select A2DP in the Configuration if your headset supports it, not all do).

You need to choose the btheadset device. If the app doesn't support that you may need to make it default.
In the preferences of both programs (smplayer and vlc) I could not find <btheadset>
cheers
Then try setting btheadset as default in your .asoundrc. Not all programs support non-commandline (or even CLI) selection of alsa plugins.

E63 updating contents using PC-Suite via Bluetooth...

When updating my E63 contacts, calendar etc. using PC-Suite via Bluetooth, every update asks the phone "Accept connection request from PC?" This doesn't occur when using a cable connection but is a real nuisance when using Bluetooth.
Any way of automatically accepting the connection request?
Thanks,
Norm
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Where this wonderfull place is located? I could not find out yet!
I should say that Nokia is to think more when making manuals on E71 et al/
Thanks ib advance

IPhone is not connecting to my nokia phone via bluetooth

iPhone is not connecting to my nokia phone via bluetooth.How to transfer contacts in my Nokia to iPhone

What upgrades are you talking about? If you already own an iPhone you clearly have enough money to afford one of the most expensive phones on the market - and you clearly have an internet connection, so there is no further cost involved to sync via WiFi or the internet connection you already have, using any of the free services to do just that.
If you insist on syncing via Bluetooth you'll have to pay for an alternative phone anyway - which would cost you more than just using the features your existing iPhone already has.

HT204387 How to share photo from iPad 2 to Nokia mobile via bluetooth

I m using first time ipad2 plz guide me how to share photo via Bluetooth from iPad2 to Nokia mobile e5 n to shiva note book

You can't share photos from the iPad to the phone via Bluetooth. That is not supported on the iPad. Bluetooth on the iPad is primarily for using external keyboards, speakers, earphones and some peer to peer gaming.

Playbook not accepting FILES from my nokia c7 via bluetooth

I got the playbook recently.
I have nokia C7 phone having JPG files and mp3 files. I wanted to transfer files from nokia phone to playbook.
I have done the following -
1. Bluetooth of the both the devices are ON and they are paired successfully.
2. FILE sharing option on playbook is also ON
3. however, when i send any file via bluetooth to playbook, my C7 says unable to connect.
I dont understand this. All the pairing and file sharing options are set correctly.
Please provide a solution ASAP.
I can also do the internet teethering from my c7 successfully, then why it doesnt transfer files via simple bluetooth. What am i missing?

At the present time there is no bluetooth file sharing on the playbook. Use a pc or Mac to put the files on an then transfer them to the playbook. At least you will have a backup of the files.

Using Nokia 6680 with Bluetooth Headset BH-601

Hi all,
I have Bluetooth headset model BH-601 and need to use it with my 6680 mobile.
I was able to pair the headset with the mobile but I couldn't listen to music as stereo, I was able to listen to music on the left speaker of the headset with very low quality as I was listening using normal headphone.
I tried to use the headset with my PC and it worked perfectly.
Is there a way to configure the mobile to use the BH-601 as stereo headset?
Is there a compatible music player.
Thank you,
Hadi

The 6680 does not have the bluetooth profile necessary for listening to music in stereo on a bluetooth headset. As far as I am aware there is no way to get this profile onto the phone.
The only Nokia phones that have this profile is the 8800 and possibly the 7390 which I dont think is even released yet.

Can't pair my beats wireless headphones via bluetooth

My air "sees" the headphones, but can't connect.

Contactizer does not support dialling via Bluetooth for the iPhone (partly because the iPhone does not have this functionality).
See this forum post on their Support pages:

Bluetooth between an iPhone and computer is only for internet tethering - nothing else.

When I connect my headphones via bluetooth to my iPad 4 I lose my internet connection?

I recently upgraded to iOS 7.1 and along with the problem mentioned in the title there are many other, not so major problems but I can put up with them.
So basically before I updated I could do this fine with no problems but ever since it updated my Turtle Beach PX5 has been able to connect to my iPad via Bluetooth but as soon as the connection is established I lose internet connection which is extremely frustrating as I tend to FaceTime while I'm playing on a console.
If I go into the wifi settings no possible access points are shown unless I turn off my bluetooth. Although on one occasion I have been able to connect to both services but the bluetooth was very unstable and after 20 or so seconds it seemed to have disconnected itself.
It's extremely frustrating that I pay money for a quality product (might I add that I've very much enjoyed up to this point) expecting that both these services can run simultaneously when they cannot.
So I wondered if there is a solution to this? Has anyone else had similar problems? And is there any way I can downgrade as the newest update (for me at least) has been a major disappointment.

One thing you should definitely try is keeping your iPhone 4 connected via USB cable in your computer and restarting. This should make the computer recognize that it is connected and as long as you have your iTunes set up to automatically open upon connection with your iPhone you should be all set!

Connection my old Nokia E62 via Bluetooth to Iphone

I would like to connect my old Nokia E62 to the Iphone using the bluetooth to transfer some music and pictures. I do not know my Iphone bluetooth passcode. Is there a factory setting?

Take the LG SIM card and put it in your iPhone. This explains how: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1438

Connecting Nokia 6120c via Bluetooth

I have just purchased a New Toyota Hilux SR5 and I am unable to get my Nokia 6120C to connect to the cars Bluetooth, It will connect but it will immediately disconnect any suggestions

I have a new toyota hilux SR5 and a Nokia E51 and this same problem of bluetooth disconnection is occuring.
Dont have the solution but this could be the cause:
In the E51 users manual under "Pair devices", it says "The passcode for remote SIM access must have 16 digits." HOWEVER, in the hilux the maximum passcode length they allow you to use is 8 digits.
Browsing the net for solutions this seems to be a common problem but no-one has mentioned this point. Guess the next step is to talk to Toyota about somehow increasing the passcode length possible to insert.
Let me know how you go.... or if you have already solved the problem.
Cheers.

Sending contacts to Nokia 6103 via bluetooth

Good morning, everyone!
I'm having some trouble with the bluetooth connection between my MBP (C2D) and my Nokia 6103 telephone. Specifically, I am trying to send the contents of my addressbook from the MBP to the Nokia. However, I'm only able to send one contact at a time and the connection turns off and back on between each contact. I'm presuming (hoping?) that I'm missing something quite obvious.
Can anyone offer some help? (I've posted this same question in the bluetooth area.)
Thanks!
gonzomup

Good Evening!
The obvious thing I think you may be missing is iSync.
http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/isync/
Open the Bluetooth preferences pane, click the Devices tab, then click the 'Setup new device..." button, then follow the instructions.
iSync will handle the synchronisation of Contacts and Calendars between your phone and Mac. Its not necessary to do it manually from Address Book.

Using Keynote Remote via Bluetooth - iPhone 4S + iPad 2

I have used Keynote remote quick happily on my old 3GS. Now I need to use Keynote remote on my iPhone 4S to control a Keynote presentation on my iPad.
WiFi is not an option, so I need to use Bluetooth.
Both devices are up to date and running iOS6
Activating iPad Bluetooth in settings, devices (eg Macbook, Apple keyboard) other than the iPhone appear on the iPad.
Activating Blutooth in settings on the iPhone discovers nothing. It is as if Bluetooth is not activating. The MacBook can't find the iPhone either.
I have rebooted both devices several times.
I have also tried to activate the pairing within Keynote remote - which just says no connection is available and says both devices must have bluetooth turned on.
So.
Am I being stupid here?
Or has Apple screwed up letting their very expensive and overpriced devices communicate with each other?

Hey I was having trouble with this too. I got it to work for me. I have an iPad 2 and an iPhone 5. The fix for me was simple. Turn off WiFi for both your iPad and your iPhone. Turn on Bluetooth for both your iPad and your iPhone. Then KeyNote > Tools > Advanced > Remote. You don't have to do anything just have your Phone Remote app running and the bluetooh enabled when you hit remote on your iPad. They should find each other.
I've had to do this each time I use this function. There should we a way that you can just choose to use Bluetooth.
