Handsfree and Headset profiles issues

[vsibilla]

I use BlueSoleil in my C# project but I notice different issues using Handsfree or Headset profiles.

If I use Headset profile (BluetoothService.Headset): the connection is reliable, I can only read message and not send it. If I use Handfree profile (BluetoothService.Handsfree): I can send message to dial a number, but after a few seconds the comunication goes down.

What is the better profile to dial number, hang-up and more?

Why is no one answering such an old question?

Probably two reasons

1. The Bluesoleil version of the library is obsolete. There is no support for Windows CE or Windows versions prior to 7
2. The same question gets asked in a variety of ways and the answer is always the same. You shouldn't use a profile directly which is natively supported on the OS as it will cause problems. There is an API in Windows 10 to make hands free calls and in macOS too.

If there is sufficient demand for a cross-platform API to wrap these then that can be added to a future release. There is a limit to how much I can do by myself so I can't make any promises on timeframes.
