I know that it doesn't mention support for XDA, but it is a patch for Windows Mobile 2003, so it may just work. Has anyone tried it?
http://www.handango.com/PlatformPro...92&platformId=2&productType=2&productId=88989
Headset works fine in the XDA II
I miss the point, headset works fine, it's handsfree that we are missing.
I doubt you should attempt to load the patch.
Regards
Michael
WARNING. Don't try it. I lost sound after I loaded that "patch". It doesn't work with XDA II.
Fortunately I wanted to update my ROM to the Dangaard ROM anyway....
This is just for PDA's not having bluetooth headset profiles (Just for listening to music and the likes).
As mentioned, what we need is the handsfree profile to be implemented, How long will it take?
someone is working on it I think....... :wink:
I guess than means I didn't actually understand the bluetooth problem correctly.
Incidentally, I called O2 to find out if there is any news on when the update will be released, and was told 'it should be the end of this month, but don't quote me on that'.

I have installed the patch(es) that 'Horsy' mentioned and my TomTom, BT200 (23B) and activesync all now work, headset capabilities to come! Definitely worth a paypal donation!
the site is very slow, try this

Well I've installed it, and it doesn't seem to have broken anything, but I haven't had a chance to test it properly yet.
Now if only we could get the handsfree problem sorted!

I'm looking for a way to redirect my TomTom voice instructions from my MDA Vario through my Parrat CK3300 BT carkit sounding on my car-speakersystem by using the bluetooth stack. Now Parrot claims this isn't possible due to a phone limitation. I agree and think it's shortage of Microsoft WM5. Now I've looked up some info about Bluetooth Audio Distribution and found the following:
Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP)
AKU 2.0 for Windows Mobile 5.0 (for both, Smartphone and Pocket PC), which is expected to be released early next year (2006), will also includes support for the Bluetooth Advanced Audio Distribution Profile profile which is designed to transfer a stereo audio stream like music from the device to a headset or car radio.
A2DP is already implemented into the Samsung SGH-i300 Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition Smartphone, however this isn't based on Microsoft's A2DP implementation but Samsung added it itself.
(Refer to http://www.theunwired.net/?itemid=2779 for more info concerning this subject.)
So if this article is based on true facts, it means that Microsoft will soon release a patch for all WM5 based devices, which enables them to receive all audio (e.g. TomTom voice instructions) through the bluetooth stack.
Somebody knows more about this subject and if it's true that after having AKU 2.0 installed, you can hear the navigation instructions through your carkit or headset?
Many thanks,
Youri Festen
there is a facility on this forum that will allow you to switch audio to and from the bluetooth, not high quality or stereo but standard quality.
There is ?
Been loking around in the threads for quite a while, but didn't find a replicatable solution...
Here you go
Tried all kind of files, but no go...
All i want is ALL audio over the Carkit (Supertooth2). That is TomTom + Phone.
I don't care if i have to trun of the carkit to return audio to the phone. But i don't want to have to reset or something.
I have a XDA (Himalaya) btw. Still with Rom 1.72 00WWE 15/03/2004 (Ext Rom 1.72.125)

whoa it worked
i know im reaching here, but really wanted to try to stream to the new cingular 2125 (aka hct). downloaded and ran the app with my iphono steroe headphones (luv em), got intresting results.
it worked. ran the app, pushed the button on the headphones, got music. call came in, answered (with auto answer) talked, and on hangup it went back to music. however, if i ran another app on the phone such as voice tag in contacts to initiate a call, it brought in the call, but on hangup went back to the speaker. had to run the toggle on again to get headphones working, not elegant - always want more - but im a happy guy til a2dp comes out for mobile 5. thanks!

Try reading and understanding what you read before posting. See the post of dalamario that is the BTAudio on/off tool !
Is this goingt to be anter shout and wild guesses about what file or tool should "really"work ?
I tried all so called "easy" fixes, hell, i've even got a whole dump of my registry, cut through all the BT + Audio and BT + Headset threads, here and on PDAPhonehome, Howardsforum, and the reduced-to-user-bla-bla on pocketPC-club.nl.
And still zilch.....
Ow, and don't think i'm someone who wants easy answers... Think again, i've been around quite a while on PPC forums and the lot....
What i do want/like is usefull answers ans clues on how this BT and Audio stuff works, beut even after reading some on MSDN i can't find a solution yet....
That's why i jumped in on this thread, i'm not going to reinvent the wheel if some allready has the solution: Tomtom and Phone audio over BT
So i'll stop writing now, and continiu searschin for a solution... There must be one...
Sorry mr high horse, wont bother trying to help next time just in case i might not be right, but then if everyone did that no one would answer anything.
The Wizard can do system Audio over bluetooth.
This has been proved with the easy hack that allows you to activiate voice dial using a BT headset.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=29837
MS Voice Command leaves the Audio Gateway open after initialising, whilst Voice Dialler closes it.
So maybe try installing Voice Command and doing the hack in the above referenced thread, and then see if you can launch Voice command from your car kit. This should leve the gateway open and allow all system sounds to stream to your BT kit until you hit the button again.

Just a little patience. Test version of Qtek 9100 ROM with A2DP already exists. It works with I-Phono bt-stereo, for example. So I think it will be released by March.

Do you think that when it works with I-Phono, it will also offer us the navigation voice instructions through BT-headsets or carkits? Hope so!
Can't test it with car navigator.
if audio streaming is enabled, i would have thought you should be able to hear navigation commands.
i have used the bt audio switch that started this thread to hear tomtom commands through my headset, and it works fine.

It's nice.... I'd really like Tomtom over my carkit... Ohh, the XDA was so much easyer just soldered a Ground and Left/Right channnel into my TomTom/Leadtec connector, and plugged it in to my JVC Front-in line...
I bought the Qtec 2020 because BT seemd so much easyer
I've been waiting for AKU2 ever since it was announced back around Christmas. It finally got released from Imate today and after flashing my KJAM there is still no Stereo Headset profile??? What gives? Anybody know why it's not there, I thought this was supposed to be one of the big features of AKU2 besides push mail?
I read on another forum (I only quickly looked, honest, this is the only forum for me) that the A2DP profile caused the device to slow down too much and they were removing it for that reason. When I read it it was just a rumor but it looks like they were correct.
I dare say after some more tweaking that it will return as the slowdown only occurs when the profile is active.
If you really need it use the Qtek 2.8.x.x rom on the FTP server as it is very stable if not fully optimised.
Well, that sounds like a reasonable explanation. Given that the Wizard is barely 200mhz and A2DP is a CPU hog. But DANG IT, they should have released it and just had a pop up warning or something,"Performance may be impacted during music playback via the Bluetooth headset." Or something at least. I don't mind if the PPC is sluggish while I'm listening to Podcasts! ARGH!
I heard the Qtek ROM was kinda buggy. I'm not sure I want to flash to something that's gonna make my phone unstable all the time. Have you used that ROM?
I am using the Qtek aku2. Its far from buggy.
As far as i can say they could have made it general available.
Using the Qtek ROM as well [just got a pair of stereo BT headsets yesterday] and I don't see any performance issues as well. Maybe it also depends on what you have installed on your device. I probably won't be updating the imate ROM if it doesn't have a2dp. I don't need the push email but I am enjoting the BT music streaming heehee
Try out the Qtek ROM it might be ok for your device.

No offense but you seem to be saying imate should have released it with A2DP bugs, but you don't want to use the qtek beta because it might have bugs. Err make your mind up dude.
I don't think sluggish performance using A2DP is necessarily a bug. Given that the processor is only 200mhz and streaming 128kbps stereo audio over Bluetooth is processor intensive, it's probably just the nature of the beast. It may turn out that Qtek will remove A2DP from their final ROM as well after they get feedback about the beta firmware.
Do you guys know if the Qtek beta ROM fixed the Storage Card disconnecting issue? Because the KJAM AKU2 update has finally resolved this issue for me. I can leave programs open on the storage card and turn the device off and on and the programs don't crash out anymore.
Can you please post a WORKING link to the QTEK9100 AKU2 Test ROM with the working A2DP? The ones I've found are not working. Otherwise, can someone arrange to email it to me?
Has anyone here tried the QTEK9100 AKU2 ROM on an unlocked US Tmobile MDA?
i was also pretty annoyed that A2DP had been left out of this update as i had bought myself a set of stereo bluetooth headphones for xmas in anticipation of the update and now they will continue to sit on a shelf gathering dust.
I thought why not email i-mate - [email protected] - and ask them. To tell you the truth i was not expecting an answer (or at least not for several days) as with my previous experiences.
Well i was pleasantly surprised (amazed even) that i-mate replied to my email within 3 hours. They said:
Thank you for your E-mail. Regarding your query, please note that our engineers are working to integrate the A2DP profile on Windows Mobile 5 devices via ROM upgrades but we do not have yet any information or release date for this update hence, we would suggest that you keep a regular check on the www.clubimate.com for further information about new upgrades, releases and services.

I thought this is cool but wanted confirmation that A2DP would be released as an update for the K-JAM and current devices and not just future / new devices so i asked them to confirm this for me, This time i recieved a reply within minutes:

De Ja Vu... with a different company ey :wink:
Theres been a few recent posts around here and other forums speculating exactly why A2DP did not make it into the recent i-mate update.
Some of these posts have been suggesting that the A2DP 128k audio stream is too resource intesive for the Wizard's 200MHz Ti Omap850 CPU.
So, i thought i would ask one of the Microsoft Mobility guys on his MSDN Blog to see if he could confirm this. Whilst he was not actually able to tell us the reason of the hold up, he has confirmed its not likely to be the CPU: Read his Blog at http://blogs.msdn.com/jasonlan/archive/2006/03/02/542036.aspx
Jason Langridge - Chris - no that's not accurate - I have it running on other devices with similar CPU specifications. re: A2DP - Ultimately it's an i-mate decision what is/isn't included in their releases.

Still dont have a a2dp headset to try it out. However, I removed the patch as I was getting an error about not being able to start audio recording device when I would try to record video with audio. Not sure if was related, but the problem went away after restoring a backup from several days before installing the patch. I will install it again when I get the headset to see if it works.

Nope. I have a K-JAM OC'ed to 247mhz and I also experience skipping from time to time. As much I have read, it's just as much a problem with the headphones as it is an underpowered device.
Some of the other things I have heard is the environment effects on the BT signal. In a busy urban environment, you might experience more skipping due to interference. To be honest, I use my HT's in NYC and I experience skipping, but not so much as to make the HT's unusable. I have not noticed any particular place or area where the HT's skip more than usual.
My "big" thing with the HT's are the size. I really would like to find a less bulky pair that works well with the K-JAM and the A2DP hack. I tried the Anycom's and they were pathetic. They would not work at all with the K-JAM and the controls were useless.
I just bought some from ebay and everything I read makes me wish I didnt! Thankfully they were only £36 but still. They dont look that big on the pics but I have read a lot of people saying they are really bulky and dont work very well with music. The idea of bluetooth headphones are great but I dont think any work with the wizrd good enough. Theres a post on the accesseries forum with a big discusion about this.
Actually, there was a big writeup here somewhere about a batch of HT820s that skipped. You could tell if you had the bad ones by looking at the serial#. They were generally bought on eBay and were from a different oem source. Search around for HT820 here and I believe you can find the thread.

yeah thas right. might be one of the unlucky ones that got a fritzed/crappy headset. i have the ht820s paired to a cingular 8125, and it only skips when i have more than 5 programs open. otherwise it's pristine.
try sending it back to motorola? i dunno, in my experience their cust service was fantastic.
:evil: damn moto, why don't they recall their crappy stuff! Anywho I guess i'll have to hunt around and maybe even call moto...... Thanks for the feedback. 8)
is yours an actual ht820 or an asian knock off from ebay?? I personally have the asian imitation from ebay and with a few reg tweaks i can get it to play without skipping.. however i have heard people report the same skipping problem with the asian imitation's, other people who bought the actual real moto headset said they have no problems at all...
here is the cab i used to improve my skipping problem
The problem is the firmware in the headset. I am getting ready to run mine by the service center tomorrow here in Shanghai. I've been on a few of the Chinese forums and this seems to be a common occurance.
Mine skips when activesync is open which is all the time now that I use direct push email. Anybody else?
Shogunmark ... What does that .cab do?
it makes a few registry changes... i cant remember completely off the top of my head, i did grab that from another thread somewhere on this forum.... all i know is that it worked wonders for me... i will try to find that thread again and post a link to it...
I use a Motorola 820 with NO problems at all. I can walk all around my house with it on and the phone in the other room and it works fine.
I beleive i got one knock off and one real one. (don't ask why I have 2 ) And both behave in the same way.

Thanks. That solved it perfectly. For about two minutes. Then it got twice as bad. Crud. And my headset won't flash either.
I just got the Microsoft Voice Command 1.6 (refer to as VC from here on) this morning and so far it has been quite disappointing.
I am using it on a Cingular 8525 with a Sony Ericsson HBH-GV435 headset (both are BT 2.0).
Right after the installation I noticed that the talk button on the headset did not trigger the VC so I did a power cycling.
After the power cycling the button will now trigger the VC as if I pushed the VC button on the phone but the problem is that it is not picking up my voice command via the headset but it is still listening from the phone's mic.
Any thoughts on this?
hjkl;' why no delete?

Version 1.6 at present time DOES NOT WORK properly with the TyTN. You should go back to V1.5 and wait for a patch...

I see. Thanks for the info. Hope the patch will be available soon!
What is the probelm with the ver 1.6 and the TyTn? Is it just the TyTN rom or does it not function with the JasJam or the 8525 either?
Dp you guys know this by experience or is it posted somewhere?
PocketPCThoughts list the 8525 as a "compatible device".
The problem will affect all Hermes devices, and it will probably require a patch / a new dll and/or a registry hack to make things work properly. It should work, but it doesn't, and this goes to show you what a poor job of testing was done before product release.
If the single biggest additional feature/function (ie, bluetooth support) doesn't work properly, why was it shipped?

Come on folks... This is MS we are talking about...
If it had been a software package with a little penguin or a devil on it we would be just fine

Or maybe we should start to look at HTC... Their implementation of the whole bluetooth "feature" is crap too... AD2P anybody? well let's hack the crap out of the register, and than try to be happy with songs that hickup every 30 secs or so... neah great!
First: Hermes generally does not work with BT2.0, I guess, especially my MDAvario2 does not...
I'm using a BT Headset HBH608, which was perfectly working with every phone I've ever tried...
Second: VC1.6 could not be installed on Vario2' and Hermes Devices at all, getting an error message...
VC1.5 (engl.) works, not perfect, but it usually works...

What do you mean it cant be installed. I have it installed on a TyTn and it works perfectly. I am not using a BT headset, so cant comment on that.
I've got v1.6 on an 8525 and it seems to working fine.
what exactly are the problems others are having with Hermes devices?
@DigitalFX: Hermes does support Bluetooth 2.0, but not Enhanced Data Rate.
@JCrompton: MSVC 1.6 does not route sounds/commands properly through a Bluetooth headset on the Hermes. You may be able to initiate a call with your headset button, but you'll be using the mic/speaker on the Hermes to complete it. Also, sounds/announcements are not working as advertised. HTC and M$ are working on a patch.
VC 1.6 works fine on my MDA with Motorola BT headset.

Seriously, why dind't any OEM use the Widcomm stack instead of the crappy MS one ?!
If only there was a way to hack the Widcomm stack and replace the MS one like they did with the Dell axims..

My 8525 works fine with 1.6 and my SE662 BT headset. Calls can be activated over BT using headset button, and audio routes to my headset throughout my call.

Wow! Have you done any registry hacks? I'd love to see what your Voice Command keys look like....
TIA,
Richard
I have an 8525 also, and 1.6 works as MS says it does.
The headset button activates voice command, the Beep occurs on the 8525, and the mike on the 8525 listens for input. If I say, Dial ... or Call... then the call works fine on the BT headset like expected.
I know a patch is in the works to fix this issue, and when they do, 1.6 is superior to 1.5 for voice interpretation.
However, for now, I have 1.5 working perfectly fine. All features work, and all I had to do was enter/change 2 registry keys (only 1 was necessary)

So how loud do you have to shout for the mike on the 8525 to hear you if the phone is in the next room, or in your purse or you're driving? It might be the way MS intended it to work, but I doubt it.

I can't believe that MS wouldn't have caught this problem during beta testing. Speaks volumes (pun intended) for the current state of software development and testing at MS. Anyone know if MS Reader works with WM5 yet? How about full multi-user support for ActiveSync? Win XP has been around for years now with this funtionality. And while I am on my rant, how about SP3 for Win XP? Currently we would have to download and install over 70 (!) critical patches to SP2 just to get our computers to the dynamic state they are at today. Come on MS, enough is enough. Get your s#!* together!!
