Bluetooth Service Profiles

The Bluetooth wireless technology specification is a protocol
that describes how the short-range wireless technology
works, whereas individual profiles describe the services
supported by individual devices like your phone. Profiles
reduce the chance that different devices will not work
together.

Your phone supports the following profile services:

SDAP (Service Discovery Application Profile) - This
mandatory profile is used to find out which profiles are
offered by the Server device.

FTP (File Transfer profile) - Provides access to the file
system on another device. This includes support for
getting folder listings, changing to different folders,
getting files, putting files and deleting files. It uses OBEX
as a transport and is based on GOEP.

GAP (Generic Access Profile) - Provides the basis for all
other profiles.

HFP (Hands Free Profile) - This is commonly used to allow
hands-free car kits to communicate with wireless phones
within a vehicle.

HSP (Headset Profile) - This is the most commonly used
profile, providing support for the popular Bluetooth
headsets to be used with mobile phones. It relies on SCO
for audio and a subset of AT commands from GSM 07.07
for minimal controls including the ability to ring, answer
a call, hang up, and adjust the volume. (Note: This device
does not support the stereo headset profile.)

HID (Human Interface Device Profile - [Bluetooth
keyboard only]) - Provides support for devices such as
mice, joysticks, keyboards, etc.
