Handsfree and A2DP profiles work on QtMoko v26. If the first call is an outgoing call you must first play an audio file (e.g. via QMPlayer). Bluetooth claims not to be available when using handsfree profile but it still works fine (although disconnecting requires suspending the phone). Pairing is required before every use of this headset. |
