Bluetooth Headset Audio Gateway and Widcomm

I saw the posts about getting the Widcomm bluetooth stack on an XDA II (I loved how well it worked on an iPaq 5555) and one of the features the Widcomm stack normally offered on the 5555 was the "audio gateway" - the ability to use a bluetooth headset for regular audio throughput. Bluetooth headsets without a built in DSP don't work well for music, but they are great for spoken word stuff, like books.
My question is, does the audio gateway work with the XDA II and the Widcomm stack? I believe that Tobias is planning on adding it in his excellent Pocket Bluetooth Tools, but its been a while and I don't know if he was still planning on releasing the support. One poster somewhere else mentioned in passing that the bluetooth headset "wasn't supported" with the Widcomm stack, but I don't know if he meant the bluetooth headset for phone use or the audio gateway (or if that was even true or not).
Any ideas anyone?

System audio via Bluetooth Headset...

Before the mishap with the site there was a thread about getting normal system audio (music, video file audio etc...) playing through the bluetooth headset on XDAII & Blueangel devices. Has anyone got any further with this project ? I am hoping to get myself an 02 XDAIIs this week and would like to have this feature (maybe it works in the 02 rom ??!?)
If not I will be able to provide any files from this device (if they are different from others) that could help those in the know figure this one out.

the o2 rom will 99.999% surely have the same bluetooth stack as the other roms based on the 1.72 o2 most likely only added stuff to the extented rom
this headset let you do it but it have a breakout box

I believe your best chance is getting a PDA2K or IIs as they have a much better bluetooth stack. At this point, I haven't heard anyone saying they have transfered audio to a remote device yet.

for me it would also have to be in stereo for music purposes
the profile which does support that is A2DP
not sure if vidcomm stack have that

HP BT stereo headphones with XDAII

Does anyone tried to connect the XDAII with the new HP BT stereo heaphones with XDAII?
I have this HP device but can not install it.
Bummer..

Widcomm BT Stack on XDAII...
HP BT stereo headphones does work with XDAII (myself and few friends have been using it for a while now). You will need to install Widcomm BT stack (1.0.0.3500 or 1.5.0.2000, or the one that have High Quality Audio Profile) though.
However, you will loose Bluetooth Headset profile if you install Widcomm BT Stack. Apparently BT headset does not work with Widcomm stack on XDAII yet. I've managed to get the headset detects incoming calls, take calls, but still no sound coming out from the headset yet. Still trying...

Interesting. Will check it out and reply.

This is my experience using a HP bluetooth stereo headphone bonded with an O2 xdaII. I use Wincom 1.5 Build 2000 from "dtktvu". So far the setup has worked very well. After having used the setup for three weeks, my impression is as follows:
1. Connection with headset is very stable
2. Stereo sound is clear, quality is quite superb really.
3. So far this setup works only for music, it does not work together with bluetooth headsets (if you happen to have one). This means that you can not use your headset at all while using the headphone.
4. The only inconvenience is that if there is an incoming call during song playback, the music pauses but there is not any other audio warning. On the screen you do get a warning that there is an incoming call, though. So in my case, while I listen to music, if I hear a sudden pause then I know that there is an incoming call and act accordingly. Now, let us come to the next point....
5. You have to use Windows Media Player as the player for point 4 to happen. I am not sure how the setup will react to incoming calls with other players such as Winamp, GS Player etc..
6. Battery life is quite good. I get about 6-7 hours of playtime from the headphone.
Now, if only someone will update this Wincom Driver further so that it can work together with bluetooth headsets, then we will have the best of both worlds... Maybe donations from potential users to provide incentive to some expert out there.

Widcom on XDA II without Windows Mobile SE?
I would also like to use the HP bluetooth headset. I have a XDA II (not IIs). Will the Widdcom stack install on this? I am currently not running Windows Mobile SE.
Many thanks.

where do we copy and paste those keys? do you think this could work with the Magician?

Try MS VoiceCommand - in new 1.5 version there is incoming call voice notyfication (normal ring goes at half of the sound level and voice engine reads callers ID) maybe it will go through UR headset.

Thanks for the pointer, didn't work though.
Would welcome any other ideas.

Will this work on XdA2JoJo.v3.2zS version that has broadcom 3900? I'm planning in getting one.
Need advise...
Thanks

HP BT stereo headphones with XDAIIi
Hi,
I've read the thread but cannot see any indication of someone using an XDA IIi and the HP BT stereo headphones. Anyone know anything about this particular combination? So far I know the software that comes with the HP BT stereo headphones will not install on the XDA. And without the BT high quality audio profile installed I cannot get past pairing the devices. Any ideas?
Thanks,
R

Other than the hp headset, does it work on i-tech clip S or i-tech clip S35 bluetooth stereo headset as well.

headsets
I have three stereo bluetooth headsets here for testing purposes:
- Logitech Wireless Bluetooth MP3 Headphones for PC (aka Hewlett Packard FA303 or Toshiba PA1831)
- Motorola HT820
- iTech Blueband
I have tested them on my Qtek 9090 (BlueAngel) and they all worked fine. There is not much diffrence in audi quality, the diffrence is more in the comfort of wearing them. Most of my collegues liked the Motorola the most but I prefer the Logitech. The iTech feels a little bit cheap...
More experience and info about stereo bluetooth headset is posted on http://www.robertwebbe.nl/A2DP.html.

Has anyone connected headphones with XDAII? i can't at all( after installing broadcom 1.5 phone cannot call correctly, i can't hear anything(

I have a iMate PDA2k EVDO & iTech BlueBAND headpones. I was able to use use the BT headset to use the phone however as the Broadcom 3500 stack didn't come with a Audio profile I couldn't hear music (mp3s via WM10). I installed Broadcom 3900 stack - can now hear stereo music but the volume on the phone is so low I can bearly hear it. Otherwise my PDA is stock standard Windows 2003 WWE etc. Any suggests? As I am a new owner, I would appreciate the help. Cheers,

Hi
I have recently received a Blue Angel from our mobile provider and it comes with the Bradcom stack 1.0.0.3900.
Does it have A2DP integrated, or I need to install anything to make it compatible? I am interested on a Motorola HT820 headset and i want to make sure it will be compatible...

New A2DP Discovery

Hi Guys,
I wanna share something i found out a while ago.
I am currently holding on to a Motorola HT820 and a BlueAngel and i was kinda playing around with it wondering why i cannot answer phone calls and only can play my MP3's. Here is the solution.
Install the A2DP Profile
Soft Reset
Pair it up to your BT Stereo headset using high quality audio
now, upgrade to build 3900.
Run the restartradio.exe
run the bt upgrade cab file
run the restartradio.exe
Now, pair it up to bluetooth handsfree headset.
This works wonders. It seems to work best on WMP10. I have tried
Mortplayer but, after i answer calls, it stops playing and does not resume.
For WMP10, it resumes fine. I have only tested on BlueAngel and HT820.
I dont have the luxury to get my hands on other devices as yet.
BT upgrade files found here
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Bluetooth_1.0.0.3900_Upgrade
A2DP details found
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=25443
ENJOY !!!!

this currently works best on WMP 10
You can continue listening to music after your call ends with mortplayer,
you have to disconnect the pairing and re-pair again..

XDAII and Motorola HT820
Hey guys,
I'm contemplating buying a Motorola HT820 but I'm concerned that it might not work with my phone - I have an XDAII with WM2005 1.60A installed. anyone know anything?
Thanks and best regards...

Hi
This sounds like what I've been waiting for too.....
I have an XDA II running 2003SE will this work with this combo any ideas?

Good one... will try it later

Has anyone tried with Motorola HS 850???

Has anyone tried with Motorola HS 850???

So far, i have not tried it on XDAII... but i think it should work..

Can anyone confirm if this is possiable with an XDA II as having read through numerious threads on the subject of Bluetooth implementation with various Wicomm configurations, but cannot clearly identify that the A2DP Protocol can be successfully made to work on an XDA II.
I suspect that this can only operate on an XDA IIi or XDA IIs. My requirement is to get a set of Motorola HT820 Bluetooth Stereo Headphones to function with my XDA II via Bluetooth, I am not really worried about the Phone Headset function I would just like to hear Audio via Media Player 10.
Thanks

I have just upgraded to 1.40 ROM (iMate) with Orange EXT ROM on M2000. I have radio 1.13 and the A2DP profile loaded.
Everything was working fine with the old ROM and wmp9, but wmp10 does not respond to the pause, back and forward buttons on the ht820.
Does anyone have this working on ht820? Is there a known work around?

Motorola BT820 Audio Gateway and a player
I've followed the steps above and now have the two new profiles and have managed to pair my Motorola BT820's without any problems.
I've read that this works best with WMP10 but since I don't have this I decided to try Mortplayer.
Silly question : How do I get my XDAIIs to send the audio to the headphones ? Their is an outgoing connection between the two but the sound still comes out of the speaker on the XDAIIs.
If a phone call comes in then this is directed up to the BT820's
Help
Jason

i have done over 50 hard resets.. many tries and it seems to be an intermittend prob.

@woodrjh
In this way a HP Bluetooth Headphones and a Motorola HT820 works with my xda IIi in a2dp mode incl. the Buttons in WMP10.
1. remove the RunBT file from the Autostart dir -> softreset
2. Install the PDA2K_BroadcomCorp_BTUpdate.cab -> softreset
http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/files/handheldiPAQ/us/download/22475.html
3. Install the HP iPAQ Bluetooth Stereo Headphones Driver Update -> softreset
http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/files/handheldiPAQ/us/download/22475.html
If the error \windows\btceavif.dll in use come, rename it with Resco File Editor and try again the driver update.
4. Put the the RunBT file back to the Autostart.

does this method enable your bluetooth headset to receive calls?

AD2P with stereo BT headset problem

I have a stereo AD2P BT headset, the Abe BT 55F (no built-in mic - speakers only) that pairs sucsessfully, but I get no audio. All audio still comes out phone's speakerphone.
Abe BT 55F Specs here:
http://www.abe-hk.com/english/products/8044/8044.htm
The specs say it supports AD2P stereo, but can't seem to get an audio to play on the headset after successfully pairing it with my XV6700 running a PPCGeeks WM6.1 ROM. I cooked in acbToggleBT 0.8 (Description: Toggles the audio gateway) thinking that might enable the audio. But I'm thinking this might be for mono BT headsets.
I thought AD2P headsets worked pretty seamlessly on WM6.1?
I then tried BTAwm6.cab, another BT audio gateway program, but that didn't work either. I did previously get my now lost "mono" Jawbone to work using BTAwm6.cab, but that was several cooked ROMs ago, so who knows if it would work now.
Anyway, any suggestions?
Maybe I'm just not understanding how to toggle between the phone's speakerphone and the BT headset? I know for some mono headsets, you had to first activate a Voice Command by pressing the headset button. Not sure if that applies to stereo headsets with no microphones (no Voice Command capability).

somewhat working
Ok, I got the audio to work "somewhat". I had to go into Settings, Bluetooth, right-click on the BT device, and choose "Set as Wireless Stereo". Then play an audio file. Duhhh on my part.
Now the problem is the audio is very choppy. I know I read a fix somewhere for that. Anyone? Plays for 1s, then random 5-10s of silence, then plays 1-1.5s

update on A2DP
Update:
The default Microsoft BT stack on my WM6.1 ROM resulted in very choppy audio. Mostly silence. If I paused the music, waited, then clicked play, I'd get 1/2s - 1s of audio. Sometimes none.
The solution after much trial & error (including trying several registry suggestions) was to install Helmi's Universal Broadcomm Stack (Test):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-291639.html
Then the audio was perfect!
Unfortunately, this stack is 7MB when installed and I don't think it uninstalls the Microsoft BT stack, which no doubt also takes ~7MB of memory.
Didn't try installing to my Storage Card, but I assume it would fail since a critical system component. I don't see this popular BT stack in any of the "pre-canned" ROMs. It would be great if I could simply use BuildOS and check a box for this BT stack and uncheck the Microsoft one. Thus, I wouldn't be using 7MB x 2 (14MB) of RAM - only 7MB. Again, just a guesstimation.
Anyone know how I would go about cooking Helmi's Universal Broadcomm Stack and not the Microsoft one using the BuildOS tool? Or do I have to cook my own custom ROM (and read up on how to do that)?
