Bleutooth headset

[fputters]

Hi, anybody out there who can help me to connect a bleutooth headset with a VGN-S1XP?
Configuration: Windows XP SP2 and Bleuspace NE.
Bleuspace and Windows bleutooth don,t give any Service Discovery. The headset works fine on another computer with USB Bleutooth dungle without SP2.

SP2 and BlueSpace NE probably conflict. Try removing BlueSpace NE and using the features in SP2 instead.

I'm in the same situation. I have a plantronics M3000 and want to use it as a headset with my A197VP.

The Plantronics website says that it will work with devices that support the Headset or Handsfree Bluetooth services. It looks like neither the VAIO or XP support the Headset service.

This is pretty silly with the growing popularity of VOIP!

Is there no update to the BlueSpace NE software to include the Headset service?

Cheers

If there is an update to BlueSpace NE, you will find find it on the VAIO-Link website. Click Here

Yes indeed neither XP SP2 nor Bleuspace can handle the haedsets. Even tried the program which came with a USB bleutooth dungle didn't work either.
E-mailed Sony and hopefully Bleuspace or Microsoft will come with a solution because would be a shame if you buy a vaio with bleutooth and may even have to install a USB bleutooth device to let your headset work.
If somebody else has a solution would be welcome

Thanks

Yep I finally installed SP2 - just to see if it would make any difference, but unfortunately it didn't help the situation!

It's pretty crazy that they haven't thought about headsets yet!

Fputter - keep us up to date if you hear anything back from Sony.

I also want to use a bluetooth handset and a bluetooth mouse on my
S1XP but I am not sure that the experiment will be succeed.
Sony made clear that bluethooth specifications are standarized and every device using bluetooth is supported.But ......we must finished the professional level of programing in C++ to write our own drivers and applications in order to use bluetooth.

Sony we always respect you and we always support you
please pay a little bit of attention to us .......

As far as I know, headsets are using the profiles HandsFree-Unit or Headset-HS.

Sony's Bluespace supports only BIP-ImagePush, BIP-RemCam, DUN-DT, HCRP-Client, Serial-DevA, Serial-DevB, HID-Host, OPP Client, OPP Server, GAP SDAP.

WinXP SP2 only DUN-DT, PAN-AP, PAN-Group, PAN-User, HCRP-Client, Serial-DevA, Serial-DevB, HID-Host, OPP Client, OPP Server, GAP SDAP.

Sorry... no match.

Take care

EXACTLY!!! That's the problem.

We want to know if Sony are going to update Bluespace software to include the headset/handsfree services.

Or if anyone knows of other Bluetooth software that works with headsets!
