8525 Bluetooth Audio Override

.:. Faux Press .:.

Testing a software solution that allows me to use a Bluetooth headset to capture 8525 system audio in's and outs. Successful, but is the audio quality good enough? I think not. Hearing cell phone junk on the track. Boo.

POST NOTE: The software hack worked brilliantly! Now if only the Motorola H500 Bluetooth headset worked half as well as the Plantronics... I've spoken about Motorola headset / 8525 issues before in this space, including its default, unchangeable, annoying "Wagner" ringtone. When this one dies, I shall for sure switch back to a Plantronics device.

Furthermore, when and if the iPhone or a Google phone comes out with a video-taking device, I will switch to them, unless of course I can get a high-end, web-capable Nokia in the U.S., my hands-down first choice in a video cell phone.

Talking about VlogEurope, "35", 8525 audio and video. Get the mp3 HERE.

The Bluetooth headset isn't recognized as an audio device except for phone calls. It should work for video and audio recording as well.

Furthermore, I think it's the Razr V3 that resets the ringtone from my choice to Wagner's Valkyrie tune. Sheesh.

Trying desperately to troubleshoot playing 8525-generated mp4 videos anywhere but on the phone itself. Google has not yet proved my friend in this regard. Even Windows Media Player for Mac won't play the doggone things. Harrumph.

Here are links to all the programs / hardware I've thus far invested in / installed to make this phone work as I wish:

[Vito Audio Notes] - for recording high-quality mp3 or wav files
[85258 IM+ for Skype] - Skype!
[8525 IM+] - handles ALL my IM services
[Missing Sync] - allows me to sync the 8525 to the MacBook - a must-have
Motorola Razr V3 Bluetooth Headset

All these programs have trial periods, thankfully.

POST NOTE: Simply change the file extension from '.mp4' to '.3gp' yo.
