Hi Guys ,

Hi Guys , I have a embedded system with linux fedora 12 os and has Bluetooth 3.0 . The embedded system is used to make BT connection. Everythng works fine

Now , I have been asked by management to give rough estimate of how much time it will take to upgrade it to BT4.0. Since we do not have BT 4.0 chip , I am not sure how to give them the estimate. In my embeded system. I have following packages installed , so I am wondering does these existing package wil support BT4.0, if not , could guys please point me to from where I will get drivers and how to install in fedora 12.

I have obviously disabled my bluetooth as my little Acer will not recognize the USB Kodak wireless bluetooth adapter for my all in one Kodak printer. Where is the bluetooth enabler hiding? I have talked to Kodak several times and they say it is the Acer and the bluetooth has to be enabled but going through the system we cannot find it.

Bluetooth headset: A lot of buzzing and "slow" playback.

Hello, I used to use a Bluetooth headset when communicating with Skype, etc.

This works quite OK with my Sony-Ericsson HBH-600 headset, paired to my Computer running Fedoara 11.

The headset died on me, so I got myself a new one, a Bluetrek Tattoo.

Now, pairing went well and all, but when I activate it, I get a loud buzzing, and playback sounds garbled (you can't understand people talking, music is not recognizable as such, etc) sometimes it appears as if the playback was in slow motion.

Any Ideas why that is?

Also, which headsets would you recommend for PC use, rather than pairing with a cell phone?
