Yesterday I bought a Bluetooth Stereo Headset, the Nokia HS-12W. A very fine piece of Hardware with build-in FM-Radio (because the Trinity has none until proven!). The Headset has a display where the number of the caller is displayed. As far as I know, according to A2DP the Songtitle and other ID3 Tags should be also displayed in the Display while playing. But this does not work at all. Using the Pocket PC Media Player the display just says "Audio".
Is this related to the Pocket PC Media Player?
If yes, are there other players displaying the ID3 Tags of MP3 Files on the Headsets display?
If not, is it a bug in the Trinitys Hard- or Software (ROM)?
Any fixes?

no one knows the answers?
I am not an expert of A2DP but FYI I have a SonyEricsson stereo BT headset and I can't see any song information either.

Please post here details of BT headsets that work with the new stack to stream audio,
Please include:
Headset make and model
Any issues or if it works perfect
Quality good / average / bad
Cheers!
iTECH BLUEBAND works perfectly with the new A2DP (and others!) BT Stack. Streams audio pretty well and switches to headset mode when there's an incoming call. Flawless so far!
Sound could be better, but now I need to look for a good jukebox for Pocket PC. Suddenly the JAM has become my default music player!
PS: Music drags and sometimes gets cutoff during heavy CPU activity (while I was installing some software over Active Sync and had about 45 tracks lined up on WMP!). However, the music continues from where it left off!!!
What about the Itech Clip s35?
Does anyone know I'm supposed to get the new stack to pair up with the Clip s35 so the "Default Headset" dragdown window appears and I can get the BT to start streaming MP3 music?

Hi guys,
I have a Himalaya but am just wondering - when you say you have a fully functional bluetooth stack with A2DP and which receives calls while you listen to music, do you mean a Microsoft stack on your Magician's?
Thanks

Could i know any mp3 player that's works great with motorola ht820 bluetooth headset ? I'm looking for a software with an equalizer to obtain the best with this headset.
I've tried TCPMP and Windows media player and they works fine... but i need a software with equalizer or amplification via software.
thanks a lot..
EDIT : The GREAT solution is Pocket Player 3.61 with equalizer set to "POP". WONDERFULL!!!!!
Tried pocket music?
Pocketmusic sucks in many ways, as far as I can tell. Sure doesn't like streaming audio, at the very least; plays regular local MP3s fine though.
I am new to BT audio, but I have come across something very strange. I have a new Motorola S9 BT headset and a Cingular 8525. I have been able to make and receive calls, pause and skip songs in Media Player 10, but I had an awful time trying to make stereo play on the headset. It delivers system beeps, alerts, and ActiveSync tones to the headset. After some hard-resets, and some troubleshooting, I found this combination does indeed deliver very nice sound quality (without the A2DPfix). The problem is that it doesn't send AAC (.m4a) songs to the BT headset. I realize that there is only limited support for AAC, (WMP doesn't recognize the META data from them) but it does play them thru the phone speaker.
Why would WMP play some formats thru the BT headset and others thru the speaker?
not sure but you can use tcpmp with aac plugin
Hi,
I have never owned a BT headset before, so I have some questions if you are willing to help me.
If I read some specifications (for example from Jabra BT8010), a BT headset could have 2 modes :
- Phone mode (mono)
- Music mode (stereo)
What is exactly the music mode? Does it mean that it controls Windows Media Player?
Or it has its own media player?
How if I want to play VIDEO (using Tcpmp for example), can I use the Music mode?
Mostly I will use the BT to watch movie and play games ....
PS: Do you use Jabra BT8010 with Kaiser? How is it?
Thanks,
since i know how frustrating it can be not to get an answer..maybe you prefer a soso answer to no answer...;-):
i used to have a stereo headset nokia hs-12 or so...but this is already some time ago...
so the way it basically works: upon pairing it will say that it supports music and phone.
depending on the layout of the headset (and the achieved compatibility with the handheld device) you will be able to control some to most features of the media players in the device. like play, pause vol up vol down, FF, RWD.. my headset worked well with windows media player, also with resco radio..tcpmp i did not have at that time yet.
hope this gives you an idea.

I think the difference is that the Phone Mode or Mono mode means that there is only ONE audio channel... suitable for making and receiving calls while the Music mode or Stereo mode means that it has TWO channels which is suitable for headphones because they have to channels.
Phone Mode BT devices can play your music but only out of one channel and in all cases Phone Mode BT devices only have one ear plug.
Music Mode BT devices can play your music or any sound for that matter out of both channels which is why they are in headphone form with two ear plugs.
MONO=1
STEREO=2
This is my take on this but please correct me if I am wrong as I would too like to get to the bottom of this.
actually that is not correct.
the so called A2DP profile is AFAIK only supported by stereo BT headsets/headphones. a mono headset will NOT get any audio sound under normal circumstances. However one can tweak the registry -and there is also software that does it - in order to direct the audio output to the headset.the price for this being, that as long as this function is active, voice dialling from the headset will not work, since this is the function that is being used to switch the audio gate.
Now, in the case of the 8010 this should be different, since it is basically a stereo headset with a detachable 2nd earpice. this one should therefore always work in A2DP mode and therefore enable audio throughput without any further tweaks.
I just picked up a BT8010 yesterday -- my local Fry's had them half-price. Stereo performance is pretty good, but there's a bit of skipping (i.e. momentary dropouts of the audio). There's a firmware update available from Jabra -- that may help.
Haven't had the chance to use the BT8010 as a phone headset yet, so I can't address that.
I have used several bt headsets (mono, not stereo) and all of them have the following issue (currently I use nokia BH104 and samsung HM1500):
A. No sound is forwarded from the hd2 music player, windows media player, tcpmp player to any of the headsets.!! Please help!
I have original rom on the hd2
Notice that all the BT headsets receive and send calls and are coupled with the mobile with no problems. I have checked the option to forward all system sounds to the headset but nothing changes for that.
(not to mention that n81 and omniaII and omniaI do forward sound played by any of the music to the same headset SO I guess its not BT headsets problem)
Any solution or suggestion would be much appreciated.
thanks!
