Jabra bt620s and HTC Wizard

HI to all,
i just received the new jabra bt620s to run a2dp (bluetooth stereo) on my wizard. I have to say i also have a motorola ht820, with which i experience severe problems with a2dp, both with the test rom and the new rom with the "upgrade". The problem which i had with the motorola was a very annoying intermittent a2dp connection, i mean a fraction of a second missing (sometimes extending up to 1-5 seconds) every 10-50 seconds. Listening music like this is - frankly - unacceptable and i decided to change headset.
I have the jabra in action since one hour. the Jabra bt620s is simply FANTASTIC. not only it works flawlessly (i also run voice command) but a2dp is PERFECT, no interruptions. The bluetooth field is about 5m and within the range i never have interruptions. Basses are louder (larger speaker than the motorola) and the comfort is superb (but i also liked the motorola comfort). The volume, a bit weak on both headsets, can be increased by increasing the intensity on media player: however, the motorola shows evident distortions at 100% while the jabra stands beautifully and delivers indeed what you' expect. The look of the jabra is more elegant than the "princess leyla" one of the motorola.
the jabra also has some other nice features: it can be used - through USB - as headset with the windows pc, and media player can be controlled from the headset buttons.
installation on the wizard is flawless in both cases. Now i am using ROM 2.17 and the patch you find on xda-developers.
I cannot guarantee anybody that the jabra works perfectly on ANY wizard. In fact, despite all attempts with my motorola, i also noticed in this forum that other motorola users were satisfied with the a2dp. It was not my case, and i really tried everything - including switching off all the radio sources i have at home (cordless, tv relay, wifi). However, even at my workplace the motorola doesn't work, so i don't feel it is an environment problem but more the specific wizard-headset coupling. The Jabra works as expected! I have the impression both are good and genuine products by professional firms, but in my case one works and the other doesn't. FYI, i bought my motorola in Singapore and my Jabra in Germany/i wonder if different distributors sells equipment with different qualities...but i doubt it. Anyway i have no doubt where they are manufactured!
I just want to propagate my experience: if you want an a2dp headset, buy two (and sell the one you like less) or try it beforehand if you have the chance of finding a store with the material on stock...;-)
Best Regards

I like them both also. My 820 works better than my 620 when it comes to voice command. Getting the Voice Command to operate via headset,620, is hit or miss moreso than the 820. I have had both for over a month. I do use the 620 when I am in the gym or when I am not really going to use the Voice Command feature. I wish TCMP was controllable via AVRCP it would really make the headsets stand out. The sound is way better thru TCMP. I am waiting for the Nextlink Spiders to come out, next month hopefully, it is supposed to put both of these to shame.
I am running Summiter's latest ROM with extra ringers and A2DP and the sort.

i agree but...
Hi,
i fully agree with all your statements but i want to raise again the point that - with my qtek 9100 - the motorola doesn't work correctly while the jabra does!

I just received my jabra BT620s too and I love it!! I didn't have another A2DP headphones before that, but I can tell that it's well built and I find them more stylish than the Motorola BT820. The music sounds great and the phone function is well incorporated. I wish there was a easier way to start the music than from the bluetooth settings (somebody should write a small app that we could map to a button) and I'll like to use something else that WMP to play the music, like TCPMP or Pocket Player.
I'm still trying to do the same functions on my WinXP machine, but I'm unable to send the music to the headphones, even after pairing... If someone know how to do it, let me now. Is there a way to control WMP or Winamp throught bluetooth stereo headphones? By the way I use the widcomm stack on my computer.

HI Survivant,
i don't have BT on the PC, but i could connect the bt620s to the pc with the USB cable. Just push both big pads after 10 secs you are connected to the PC usb, as described in the manual. You can pause/FF from the headset, for example...

BT Headset works for calls but not music??

I have a 8125 with a Nokia BH-600 bt headset. It works great when talking on the phone but I really want to listen to music too...
Is it possible to play music through the Nokia BT headset?
I have Media Player, Sound Recorder, and the CORE movie player but none of them play sound through the Nokia BH-600 headset! I also have a Moto H700 if that makes a difference.
Thanks!

I am not an expert on this topic so someone can correct me if im wrong, but you cannot play music through your bluetooth headset unless the headset is A2DP compatible. You also need the A2DP hack that can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=263735&page=7
Anyway, to get an A2DP headset, look on eBay; you can normally find them for around 60-80 shipped, for a quality one. The hack is a cab file that just needs to be installed before pairing the headset.
Hope that helps.

Being dumb here... how does this hack work?

I posted the link in my above post. Basically, just download the hack, copy it over to you phone, and click on it using file explorer and it will install. I am pretty sure it just adds to registry tweaks and DLL certificates, but I am not 100% sure. All i know is that is works great! After the install and a soft reset, when you pair a A2DP headet, it will have the option for setting as wireless stereo. Take a look at the thread above for more information.

Ah, so then any audio that that gets produced on the phone gets streamed on to the BT headset?
Sounds promising. I was wondering if there was a way to get navigation commands to go through my car BT kit.

I also wanted to be able to do that, as I have a bluetooth speakerphone in my car. I do no think this is possible with just a regular bluetooth headset or speakerphone.
However, I do think if you have an A2DP headset the navigation sound will come through. I am not sure if your car kit is a speaker phone or a headset, but if you prefer a speakerphone in the car (as I do), I highly doubt it's possible, because I dont think anyway speakerphone is A2DP enabled. Nevertheless, people on this forum have done more amazing things so search around, you may find something.
And yes you are correct, after the pairing, any audio that gets produced by your phone will come via the headset (hence my thinking for navigation working with A2DP headsets)

Hmm, i have got a parrot ck3000. Not sure if it is A2DP compatible. Is this hack/cab file uninstallable? lol, im asking so many questions! I think i might just give it a try.

Heres a question (as these forums are a mess and i can never find anything), Is A2DP included in any of the latest roms? I am running the AKU2 rom that t-mobile last released, so i assume that some of the cooked roms are miles better.

your options
There are 2 ways to approach this issue:
1.) A2DP hack or updated ROM (for the best possible sound quality) needs an A2DP compatible headset/headphones or home BT transceiver.
2.) Mono BT hack for BT headset (you lose Voice Dial) has the lesser sound quality of the mono audio channel (the one you hear when on a phone call) See this tutorial for more details and options.
I highly recommend any and all BlueTooth articles by Menneisyys one of our Moderators.
See his articles on BlueTooth and more here.

Awsome! Thanks for the link to that article. I will give the BTAudioNav a try to see if this works how i want it to! Coolio! Thanks

Ah balls it. It looks like its just another constant streaming program. Shame, i would have loved to just get the commands to be said and then the radio wont be contantly cut out.

my 2cents
Just installed this .cab on my wizard (o2 xda mini s, G3 un-updated at all.)
Works a treat, I'd foolishly bought a a2dp headset without checking compatibility and now it is compatable.

PDA Bluetooth working with Car Stereos?

I have been searching long and hard to find a working solution to make my PDA work with my car stereos bluetooth, my stereo is able to use both audio bluetooth and headset bluetooth with live info like signal strength, battery and more.
Dose anyone else have trouble with make PDA's work with car stereos?
I have tryed to contact Both phone maker and stereo maker, both tell me it is not campatable due to the type of bluetooth in each are different. The ones in a PDA are the same as the ones in PC, and in regular phones it is a dumb down version and the same goes with car stereos it a dumb down version and the send signals differently.
SO ANYONE FOUND A FIX?
ANYONE WANT A FIX?

Never tryed it
If u guys get it working let me know
I have a At&t Tilt wm6 cell

you could use something like the R35 clip bluetooth and plug that into an auxillary input wired to your car stereo. Then your PDA bluetooth can sync up with the R35 bluetooth thingy and would be input into your car stereo...
i assume you have a BMW tho with built in bluetooth which would not work.
and by different version of bluetooth they probably mean like v1.1 or v1.2. i dunno if that'd make it not work but it is probably a culprit.

I do not have an auxillary input on my car. And as far as the bluetooth they are different chipsets with different ver also.
Has anyone been able to connect to a car stereo. (Aftermarket Stereo)
I have a Pioneer AVIC-D3

I dont have an external solution, i actually have a Head Unit that has BT built in. It is a sony series reciever. WORKS GREAT! i use it everyday. One of the best purchases i made for my POS car.

Seconded -- I have the Sony MEX-5000BT and its BT performance is better than any headset/headphones I've ever used.

Maybe I need to buy a sony, as pioneer knows about its compatability issues and are not releaseing a firmware update to it. Any other stereos out there that work. I have had issues with sony headsets. I am a real big fan of pioneer and this new head unit I have.
I know there must be a way.
There just has to be.
I will find one you just wait and watch.

I Found It!
I have fond the solution and did not even know it.
I have been working with a friends CAB file trying to make it work in a OEM folder install.
I just happend to ask him what the cab file was.
Check it out.
http://www.jetwaremobile.com/index.htm
I have already tried it and it works great.
Infact before when I would connect to my stereo with any phone and the phone would ring it would ring the generic tone. With this plugin, it rings the personalized ringtones have for people. This is cool and all for only $15.
Hope this helps out others.

yup, i have the same one. dont know how i lived before i had it.
Also, this unit does allow for ringtone passthrough to you car speakers along with anything else that you can get notifs through BT. The only downside for notifs is that you have to be on the stereo BT function on the radio. Calls will come through reguardless of the function you are using.

BT voice commands with TomTom?

Is it possible to send voice commands from TOM TOM to a bluetooth enabled device?
What are the settings? I can get the voice commands to work with my Jabra headset but not my receiver...
I just got a nifty car receiver that takes A2DP music and phone calls. GPS routing over BT would complete it!

I did some more testing.
It seems that the tomtom signal comes over the A2DP bluetooth signal.
So on my car stereo, the tomtom commands will come through, only if I have the stereo on bluetooth mode. Not the best if you wish to listen to the radio.
Is there a way to force the tomtom commands over the HCP (Hands Free Profile)? That way the voice commands will be forced to the car stereo and interrupt radio play.
kww

there used to be a registry patch or program that peeps used to use to allow them to listen to music through the BT headset. This was before A2DP existed hence the need, most peeps dismissed it because it was mono and poor quality audio (like listening to your music over a phone line,) but I have a feeling it is exactly what you are looking for !

I have downloaded a couple of programs, but they don't seem to work.
What is needed is some sort of program where you can pick the software to rout the audio either to a2dp or HFP...

the software im thinking of gave the choice of routing ALL system audio (including music) via headset profile bluetooth or not, at your choice !! trust me, it is what your looking for.

Problem is, most of those programs are/were pre WM5 and don't work with WM6, BTaudionav is an example. Regardless, if you come up with a software title, let me know.

you should search in the forum for the universal, that is where I would have seen it, as that is the phone I had at the time, It shipped with WM5 but was a long time coming with a rom that supported A2DP, in the mean time these programs popped up !

just stumbled accross this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=278778&highlight=a2dp

I am going to read through the entire thread, but the line of code that says:
"UseJointStereo"=dword:00000000
just turns off the A2DP; 00000001 enables.
Further, it routs all A2DP to mono.
Got through the thread, it really doesn't do what I want.
What I am trying to do is to have music port to A2DP stereo of my car receiver as normal, and have TomTom audio commands to the HFP.
That way you can play music over bluetooth, and when tomtom audio starts, it will pause music play and the tomtom command can be heard loud and clear.
As of right now here is what I can do:
TomTom audio commands via A2DP to car stereo (makes for a boring ride)
Music via A2DP to car stereo
Play both music and TomTom over A2DP, but music player is NOT interupted when a TomTom audio command comes through
I am going to search the tomtom forums, but I doubt I will have any luck there.

I see what your trying to do, and it is true there is nothing that quite manages it, the problem is that tomtom would have to be written or modified to use HFP when the commands are played, the best you could hope for is to reduce the volume of your audio to ie 70% and leave tomtom at 100%, this will make the tomtom commands really standout when they are played.

That would be a good compromise, thanks.
fwiw, I have the question into tomtom support, but doubt if those monkeys can do anything...

I hope you get a result, but as you already know, their support is useless

I have read a bit about mort script. I have to learn more, and perhaps there might be a way...

Try Teksoft BlueMusic, this routes all audio to headset.
I used to use it with Skype on the Athena, till I found Fring.

Does anyone have a pioneer deh 7900bt?

Hey guys,
Does anyone have experience with this head unit?
I am getting this head unit in the mail and i wanted to know if it works as advertised with the mogul. I want to use it as a BT speakerphone and stream sirius.
Are there any tricks or tips for use with this head unit?
I am REALLY excited about it but I want to be prepared for it in case there are things I need to know.
Thanks guys!

Pioneer Premier DEH-980BT
I have the DEH-980BT (first model with bluetooth). Make sure you pair the pioneer head unit with your phone and after pairing register the phone in the pioneer unit (read the pioneer instructions) if you still have problems change the following registries in your phone
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\SYS\COD
Change to 5898764
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway\BTAGPBModule
Change OEM to \Windows\BthAGPhonebook.dll
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway\BTAGExtModule
Change OEMAGW.DLL to \Windows\vcbthag.dll
You might still have problems setting both hands free and wireless stereo at the same time. I only have only hands free set on my phone and its works great.

I have the DEH-7900BT and it works flawlessly. I have to initiate the pair from the phone in order to get things setup, but once I have paired them the phone auto connects every time I get in the car and both the handsfree and stereo audio work as advertised. AVRCP even works correctly.

speaking of pioneer HU
has anyone tried the OEL screensaver studio appz ?
is there a site of people's creation available on the net ?
i can't find anything about it.
BTW, i have the 980BT unit and its top notch !

wait, so this radio has bluetooth streaming music right??, because i bought the Pioneer DEH 6250 BT and it doesn't have that function so i sold this 6250 to my friend and i was looking for this one 7900 because i thought it would bluetooth streaming music audio

why would one not use a cheap FM transmitter to do the audio to stereo? They charge the phone, use less power, and are like 4$ on amazon?

FM Transmitters SUCK!
1. Audio quality is crap compared to BT2
2. No A2DP support with a FM transmitter (on screen track info on your stereo, track fwd/back control, etc)
3. Noisy interference with other cars, towers etc.
