i need advice on a bluetooth issue - PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i Software Upgrading

my xda2i works fine but whenever i hard reset and the restore (either with activesync or xbackup) my handsfree bluetooth connection to my I-tech headphones wont work, but the audio streaming still does.. this is my first post hope some one can help....looked round to see if anyone posted anything like this and not this difficulty...anybody else got this problem????
even if one of u senior members could answer just to let me know that this forum is good....
i just downloaded a new bluetooth stack for wm2003 though i use wm2003se and it works better than the one i was using pda2k_broadcom_btupgrade.cab
you dont have to fix the .skn files to get avrcp to work in either wmp or mortplayer... so thats better!
but still when i reset and restore i still have the same problem of the music playing through the bt headphones but when i try to make a call with the headset function no can hear, just a distorted tone and when i hang up the music plays again (as it should )no problem.
to get headset function back i have to reset and reload all my cabs and programs back up from scratch...and configure everything...which is a pain
i want to be able to reset and restore .......you know???????

HP bluetooth headphones

Has anyone been able to make these headphones work with the wizard?
I have searched forums but cannot find a solution.
Hp do not have any drivers to install onto wm5 operating system.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
you don't need drivers. Just use search to find the cab update en use them.
I've just received mine: they work perfectly!
just bought a set, Help
:?: Hello, I just bought a set of these off ebay, have t-mobile mda vario flashed with the cingular rom. I am reading your posts, but cannot figure out what you are talking about with the cab update. my device finds the hp headphones just fine, but there is no usage choices listed,how do I get these things to work? is there an install file I can download? Please help.
HasC,
I've got the Logitech one and they are the same as HP.
Power of the headphones and keep pressing the power button until the led flashes red.
Then you can connect it to the wizzard with the usual 0000 pin.
Did it with mine and it works.
Cheers,
Drifter
thanks for reply, but pairing not the problem
Hello, they paired just fine with the wizard, but how do I tell the wizard to play the audio through the headphones and not the internal speaker?
Drifter, you the man!!!
Mine is working beautifully now, your instruction to wait for red light to flash solved the problem.
Thanx
totally confused now???
Hello again, They are paired, but there is nothing listed in "Services to use from this device" List, is there some software or driver I need to install? is there some menu choice I need to select somewere. Please help.
jappetto,
I am also using the cingular ROM, all I did to make them work was to follow Drifter's example on pairing them. Once they were paired it just worked straight off any audio player that I used, eg Mort player or windows media player, WM allows me to forward tracks as well.
I really dont know why you are having trouble, try removing all bluetooth paired devices from your phone and pair the headphones first. This may help
Still confused
"cab update en" sounds like software I need to download. am I using the wrong rom?
tried deleting all and pairing headphones first.
sees them but there is no services listed to use. how do you tell media player to play through headphones? does it happen automatically when you turn yours on? or is there a button or command I am missing?
read all about the A2DP update in the Tornado forum as well as the A2DP threads here before you start to use your headsets. You will need A2DP to make these awsome HP headphones work to their fullest abilities.
Japetto,
I am using this ROM:
ftp://xda:[email protected]_RUU_WIZARD_217_AKU2_WWE_CF2_A2DP.exe
It has A2DP settings configured already.
When you pair the headphones with this ROM installed, make sure your volume is not on silent on phone (should adjust automatically) when using headphones. If you are using WM player and cannot hear sound through headphones, press round connect button between the volume and track forward/reverse buttons ( the same one used to pair the headphones). this should establish a link with the headphones and start working.
No other software/drivers are needed to make them work.
Hope this helps.
ive got the normal tmobile uk rom...would it work??
what its the quality of sound from the headphones...when compared to the headphones given with the MDA Vario
also could someone direct me to a link where i can buy them from
Thanks
I'll Try it
thank you HasC
SBouri,
No, you need to change ROM so that it is A2DP compliant, at present t-mobile have no ROMS for this, mine was originally T-mobile ROM.
The quality of the headphones are fantastic, they are better than vario supplied ones because they are wireless and I have had the phone upstairs and was able to listen from kitchen downstairs, occasionally there was some interference, but close range, worked seamlessly for me.
HasC, fair enough mate..ermm i'd rather not upgrade my rom as i dont want to take any risks which will turn it into a brick
i am a techi but the phone doesnt give problems as other people post about..so id rather just keep the current t mobile rom
thanks for the reply though

You don't ned to upgrade your rom to get your stock Tmobile MDA to work with BT stereo headsets!
Just install the A2DP hack.cab found in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=48535&highlight=a2dp and your stereo headset should show all options for Handsfree, Headset and Wireless Stereo.
I have not upgraded my rom, as I agree with SBour, I *can* do it but it's not worth it to me just yet....
I am using the stock Tmobile Rom, the A2DP hack and I-Tech Clip s35 stereo headset. The sound is lound and crystal clear.
Jaidnoire, nice one mate, will give it a go and ill order the headphones asap...i found a site through kelkoo for £48...is that cheap compared to any other sites you may know of?
Can anyone tell me what the battery life is on the Motorola HT820? As i manily want to listen to MP3s of my Vario
The HT820 manual claims 14 hours for music listening or 17 hours talk time.

Play music through bluetooth headset?

Is it possible to play music through a bluetooth headset? Not a stereo headset, just a normal, mono headset.
If so, does it automatically pause the music when you get a call?
yes you can using the bt audio software on http://www.htcwizardweb.net/system/files?file=btaudio.zip
download it unzip it and copy the folder to your storage card or your pda and enable or disable it at your convinience. hope i was helpfull
I tried that BT Audio app with the 750, and it doesn't work. I also tried every media player I could find...still nothing.
Has anyone had success with this theory working? I need it in a BAD way.
Here is a .cab file that does what you want it to do.
First activate your Bluetooth unit. Then stream your music or whatever. Then turn on the software. It works quite well.
Enjoy !!!
What I do for my 8125 is activate the BT toggling program and then Mortplayer. I tie the two programs together using MortScript and then activate a playlist through voice command by creating a shortcut into the Programs file.

BEAUTIFUL THING
Bluetooth Audio
I've downloaded the bluetooth audio to my Samsung Blackjack II and installed it. I have tried several combinations of steps to get the music to play through my headset but I cant get it to work. Do you have any suggestions for me? Is there a specific bluetooth headset I need to get? Or did I just mess something up?
Hey thanks alot for this cab because I've been looking for this cab all over and finally you had the solution to my problem.....
I just installed that cab file and while it seems to function correctly by sending music to the earpiece on the phone, it does not send it to the BT device. The BT device acknowledges when the program is turned on and when it is turned off, but no sound is coming out.
I'm using a Blackjack2 and an Isymphony BT headset/speaker which is not stereo.
I just want to be able to hear my phone on my BT headset/speaker.
Is there some setting I'm missing? Does this program not work? Why for some and not others? Where can I find documentation? Who made that program?
Well, I dont know why you blackjack people are here(this being the Wizard forum and all!), but what I used to use on my Excalibur is the little shareware program called:BTAUDIO(link at bottom of post)
Its shareware in the fact that it only works for 30 minutes at a time, but it does indeed send ALL audio that the phone emits to your bluetooth headset.
Instructions:
1-Install BTAUDIO .cab to your phone
2-Activate your bluetooth headset, and put it in "find" mode
3-Goto your phones comm manager and turn Blueooth on
4-Now pair your headset with your phone
5-Start BTAUDIO
6-Follow the instructions on the screen and BAM, you are done!
I hope that helps!
DOWNLOAD LINK FOR BTAUDIO=
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9MLLW0MC
Thanks for the reply.
I gave this program a try and it didn't seem to work either. I'm guessing it's a BlackJack problem. That download appeared to be pretty much the same thing as the other link to the "BTaudio" program by Triangle but is limited to 30 minutes, like you said. The first link was not limited to 30 minutes. (so you might want to check that one out)
As for why the Blackjack guys are coming here I'm guessing it's the same reason I found this place. A Google search.
The Blackjack forums don't seem to have any solution other than... "go spend another $75 on a new set of headphones"
Myself, I want to use a BT mono speaker for listening to mono recordings and don't really want a stereo headset.
Thanks for all your help!
THANX for the CAB file
REaly thank you for the cab file works gr8.......................................
Thanks...
This one is very nice. I can't speak for others, but here is what I've learned in a short time....
My personalized ring tones are now coming through the BT, along with the called annoucement. Sorta disorienting, but I like it. I bet if I disable call annoucements, this will fix it. I'll look around..... Thanks for this tweak....
I love it!
thanks

btaudio for a regular bluetooth ear piece...

anyone got this working on the tytn
I use it with a Jabra BT250...
it used to work with my plantronics 320 on the wizard but wont work on the tytn is there any special settings you had to do
I also tried to make it works and it doesn't I assume that is due to the different headset plug.
Waiting for a version for TYTN
the prog will open a connection to the earpiece i can hear the static just wont forward any of the audio to it. works with the phone of course for making calls
I have the same problem with my Tytn (BTaudio seems to work because it stops the radio - I use it with a parrot car kit) but the audio still goes through the phone speaker...
did you find a solution?
gb
BTAudio On does not work, you have to turn it on via button press on the headset. BT Off works fine of course...
Rather annoying, but that's the way it is...
Sorry but I am afraid not to understand... the bt car kit is working properly and is paired to the qtek
could you please be more specific?
thks!
Sorry, you stepped into a rather cryptic response... I assumed you were talking about the file BTAudioOn.exe that worked on the 8125 but not the 8525/TYTN.
Search this forum for mono audio - there's a big thread. Also check the wiki.
attached. This cabs works great. To activate it, start playin music, then push and hold the button on your BT headset for about 1 second, it should beep and then music comes through. Only problem is you can't use MS VC through your headset, but it doesn't break VC.
BTaudio cab works
I have used the Gotland cab file and still had problems, until I began to think like a technician... Once I installed the cab file, I performed a soft reset and then repaired my Jabra JX10... It has been working fine ever since... I can hear music (either streaming or static) and voice... I have not tried tackling the voice commander problem though...
I have just upgraded the firmware on my headset using the software that is not posted on Jabra's site, but through a link in another post, I was able to do it... had to reinstall the Gotland cab again though.... May tackle Voice Commander later in the day... Who knows...
I'm using Bluemusic 2.0 and it worked with music to BT headset. Also using installed the BT VC fix cab in this forum at it worked fine with VC 1.6 - except incoming anouncements. ( Installation Hint: after installed both - you must delete existing device and then re-pairing the BT again).
I just made a thread, here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=306363

A2DP cab

I have the cingular 8125 and the plantronics 590a wireless headphones but I can not seem to find the cab file I need to enable A2DP. All I keep finding is ROM upgrades. Any help would be much appreciated.
here you go!
Thank you very much. The cab installed fine but I still can not get the phone to play music files over bluetooth. What am I missing here?
128d what ROM are you running? I believe you must have an AKU 2.0 or above ROM for the a2dp hack to work.
Also, did you soft reset your device after the install?
This is the thread that I used to get a2dp working on my Universal and 8125s (Yes I read the whole thing and you should too because nearly every problem is solved)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=48502&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
Don't skip a reply, read the whole thing and all the pages. There's another cab file with the registry settings on one of those middle pages that saved me a lot of time and frustration. :wink:
My ROM is 2.25.11.1 WWE
Everytime you want to listen to music you have to go to Bluetooth settings and tap-and-hold where it says Plantronics 590, then choose Stereo headset. Very frustrating and I haven't found a better solution for it. I think the guy behind PhoneAlarm is working on a sollution though.

i dont have that problem with my HT820.. as soon as i turn on the device and bluetooth on my phone and they sync up i can start playing music in stereo... my settings stay
Unless I've missed something fundamental this must be an issue with the 9100. It seems that it switches between two settings, one for talking and one for music. If you watch a movie you also notice that the audio lags for 2-3 seconds. Obviously this does not happen during conversations.
In one thread on the forum they were discussing creating a little program or applet to activate the headset with just the push of a button. Haven't checked their progress lately though...

interesting.. my ht820 dont switch profiles between music or talking... it still has the notorious skipping problem when playing mp3's.. but that dont bother me, i only got the headset for phone calls.. im going deaf in my young age from to many loud concerts and a phone call in stereo is very helpful to me
Dmon you trick worked. I can now listen to music with my plantronics. The only problem is the buttons on the headset dont function. Have you had any luck with this?
What player are you using? You have to use, as far as I know, WMP or the newest version of Pocket Player (think it's 2.8) if you want to be able to skip songs and pause etc. I use Pocket Player and I think it's the best player around but unfortunately it's not free. The equalizer is a lot better so you can play with the high registry to remove some of the hissing noices.
8125 A2dp CAB
Installed the cabinet file and it works well in terms of getting the audio to the Jabra BT320S. However, when using the stereo wireless function that it enables, it slows everything else on the phone. Takes 6 to 10 seconds to get the system to recognize any command.
Any suggestions as to what might help speed it up?
My skills are not such that I’m comfortable messing with the ROM (2.25.11.1 WWE)
Thanks for all your work.
Giving this a whirl with my 8125 running Molski 2.26.10.2 Final and Jabra 250.
Holy thread resurrection, Batman!
Here, try these cabs instead. This is the 3.3 stack. Install the cert. before you install the patch.

Possible to send all audio over bluetooth?

I've spent days searching and trying all sorts of tweaks but I can't get anything to work. Can anyone PLEASE help!
I use Tomtom 7 and I've always sent the voice instructions to the bluetooth speaker in my bike helmet (just a handsfree paired item). I've previously done this on HTC devices with BTAudio and a one line registry tweak. Can anyone offer a solution to send all the audio to a bluetooth handsfree on the HD2?
I really hope someone can help, I've got the HD2 setup just right except for this last remaining item.
Many thanks,
i have the same problem...
@noony i think u have already enabled in bt setting the option "manage system audio in handsfree device" if u didnt...try that
for me doesnt work maybe its a headphone problem i see a sort of "fhhh" when any sound is played on phone but still come out from the speeker
another issue... every time i start a call with bt the volume is at the lower level..internal and headphone too! and the last is very strange because with my artemis didnt do

Yes I've tried the "manage system audio in handsfree device" option. I can get some background noise on the headsets (I'm trying with a Scala Rider and Motorola 700 & 850) but I never manage to get any sound.
Can anyone please offer a solution? It's a big disappointment for me if this isn't possible. Any suggestions welcome, many thanks.
My Observations
I pared it with my BMW and for the life of me cant ger any audio (music) over bluetooth ( the phone works fine) I then tried it on a $20 bluetooth earpiece I ocassionally use for the phone and guess what I can play music over it fine.
I tried and tried again in the car but could not get it to work.
I think some bluetooth devices will not work. Is there a different specifiaation for bluetooth ir BT1 and BT2 ??
I havent checked into this yet.....

It gives me some hope that you've got it to work with one bluetooth device. Can you please let me know exactly what you did to get the $20 bluetooth earpiece to work?
Thanks,
yeah that was my idea but without a stereo bt device i cant try to myself...i ordered to vodafone one with some of my tons of points...3 weeks and no answer!
I had the same issue and on my old phone, the HTC Touch HD, I used the following program to my satisfaction:
BTAudio
On my HTC HD2 however this doesn't seem to work anymore. :-(
it does the same thing of the inbuild bt option on hd2 its just a "quick link" to place on the bar
anyone of u have any problem with bt device volume? before i have an Artemis and 3 different device i used the device volume was every time the one i choose...now every time a new call starts phone volume its right but device volume jump to minimum level and every time i have to press + button like as i'm playing videopoker to dont miss fist seconds of a conversation
Works fine with Jabra 3030, all audio over it, music, system sounds and calls.
Maybe it's only working for bluetooth devices that are setup as stereo. Can anyone please offer a solution here?
I've installed a 6.5 rom (dutty v7 - thank you) on my HD and after a sprite restore (level 2) bluetooth audio divert works fine. Although I notived that the bluetooth options remained the old settings (possibly due to my backup restore) and the divert was done using the BTAudio. Sorry to keep asking but if anyone can shed light on this.
Is it possible to tweak the HD2 so that audio can be sent to any bluetooth headset/handsfree or is there some hardware limitation that stops this from being done?
I've tried every app and tweak that I can think of! Please can anyone help, even iof it's to let me know why this can't be done.
Thanks,
its what we all are trying to do......now i think its only a bt device problem...if it support bt2.1 and a2dp with edr seems to work all good....
i solved in car with headphone in the box...but bluetooth should be much and much better without any cable that always have to remove nodes (its the right word? sorry if not hehe)
I'm connecting to my HD2 using Jabra Stone, an A2DP headset. When I selected the stereo headset profile on the HD2, it redirected all system sounds to the headset: reminders, SMS alert, soundtrack for videos, audio player....except phone ring. I used BT Audio over a non-A2DP headset before with Diamond2, but the ausio is very poor, and the connection drops very often. Since I changed to A2DP headsets, the Diamond2 and HD2 supports it out of the box - no hack needed.
So look for A2DP headsets if you want to redirect audio.
Thank you to everyone that has helped with replies. I've now got my answer. If the bluetooth device supports A2DP then it works! (just won't work with mono etc)
I've now tested my HD2 with over a dozen bluetooth devices ALL A2DP enabled headsets regardless of if they are cheap or expensive!
Thanks again for everyone taking the time to help.
I have an LG HBM-220 bluetooth and cannot put audio to in, only phone calls!
How can i manage to do it?
I blame it on the stupid Widcomm Bluetooth stack... If the HD2 used the better MS stack, BT would play nice with with more of our periphirals and apps
I can't use MSVC properly with BT either....
the solution is to go to the bluetooth settings, select your device and connect the stereo audio connection.
Way back, Microsoft decreed that ONLY the phone app could use a mono BlueTooth headset, although any audio could be redirected to a stereo A2DP headset.
In order to get around this you need to fudge the sytem with something like BTAudio or TekSoft's BlueAudio.
The latter worked on my XDA Orbits (1 and 2) but does not work on my Touch HD with Dutty's R6 ROM (WM 6.5) possibly because BlueAudio requires the Microsoft BlueTooth stack and I suspect Dutty's ROM has the Widcomm stack. But I could be wrong about that.
BTAudio sort of works on my Touch HD, but outgoing audio is speeded up like I've been breathing Helium.
So no current solution to yet another idiotic gotcha from Microsoft.

Hmmm. When I conect via gprs to youtube aps I can hear the voice in my mono headset (jabra 2020) but via wifi and computer as modem voice is only in phone speaker. So maybe we should look gprs or youtube aps reg tweek.
Guys
i have a nokia HB-100 headset and i'm experiencing all kinds of strange behavours
sometimes system sounds including music ...etc get directed to the headset and some other time it just directs calls no matter how hard i try thru soft resets or unchecking then checking the "play system sounds ..." option!
very strange, any insights about this? is there a tweak to go with or is it a known WM defect?
