If you have problems streaming audio to Motorola HT820....

...this guy got it working so it's possible.
http://msmobiles.com/news.php/4679.html

I received my HT-820 this morning.
I followed this guide and have successfully listened to music over the headset.
I've also recorded a voicemail message so the phone function seems to work.

Hello.
I got my Qtek S110 to work with the Motorola HT 820 too, but I have some problems.
- there are glitches in the playback. I think due to the fixed 195kbps connection rate (the device must transform the music played).
- I have more gitches and stops when the bitrate of the music is over 195 kbps.
- if I turn the audio redirection and auto mute on then I can not hear anytheng (eg. ringtone) when the headset swithed off. I have to manually turn off the redirection.
- the redirection only works with MS Media Player.
Is there any idea to solve this issues?

If you read the HT820 quickk start guide,
http://www.motorola.com/mdirect/manuals/QG-HT820HdPhns.pdf
It says that "Note: You may need to wait several seconds before
hearing music in the headphones while the devices
connect."
This is why the first few seconds of the song/track are skippy. If ther are ever connection problems, the same thing happens midway through the song.
When you turn the headphone off, you need to turn the bluetooth audo settings off as well.
These issues make me believe that this patch/update is only a beta/test version and not the real thing, especially as the Bluetooth on the HT820 is done by the same people that made this patch (CSR)
http://www.csr.com/pr/pr210.htm

Still the patch is an advancement for the Magician. Just have to work around it

quick question to ht820 owners,
can you tell me if you can use these headphones for voice dial?
bluetake bt450 cannot, you have to dial via phone, then headset can be used to hangup.
thanks
in advance

I would answer that question but I've never used voice dial. is that what Microsoft Voice Command is used for?
What I CAN tell youthough, is that on the second page of the manual, it tells you how to "make a voice dial call"
http://www.motorola.com/mdirect/manuals/QG-HT820HdPhns.pdf

thanks for the reply,
reading the instructions in "make call" first instruction says "hold button then speak after tone"
bluetake doesn't have that function
thanks again
two final questions, if you don't mind,
are they supplied with audio cable to use with non bluetooth music player?
and is the audio quality good or great or just ok?
thanks again again

I don't mind.
Yes, there is an audio cable that will connect the headset's 2.5mm socket with a regular 3.5mm one.
The audio quality is as good as I've heard. Any audio problems you get with the PDA will be due to the bluetooth patch which I believe is still experimental.

The HT820 works very nicely particularly if the Magician is tweaked with Pocket Hack Master. The skips are barely noticeble and the lag at the beginning of each track is minimised. Voice Dialing works flawlessly with Cyberon Voice Speed Dial...the HT820 mic relays the command to the Magician...BUT...same issue with MVC...you don't hear the voice command relayed from the Magician back to the headset.
The one thing that I have not been able to work is the "resume playback after a phone call" even with the option ticked off in /menu/options/playback in Windows Media Player. Everytime I answer a call or make a call, WMP reverts back to the default Library opening screen. I've read in the other thread that others have had it working the way it should.
Any ideas?

Where can I get this pocket hack master?
I did't change any of the settings and mine automatically resumes playback after answering a call.

www.pocketgear.com ....cost 15 bucks.... worth it IMHO
download the trial and give it a spin... buy it if it works for you....
you'll be able to overclock or underclock your cpu speed and set certain fixed speeds for certain applications... I've found that different settings works best for different machines...tried it on three different Magicians with different ROMS and different applications... the settings that works best for my Jam and the HT820 are :
CPU between 260 to 520
Bus between 104 to 117
Ram between 52 to 59
LCD between 52 to 59
you've got to find what works for you... Not perfect mind you, but certainly a LOT better then without...like I said I barely notice the skips and depending on the CPU speed set, the delay at the front of each new track can be cut to a split second... all my tracks are at 192 kbps BTW... mow if only I can get the darn WMP to resume play after a call ... :evil:

I need help.. .please

This topic may be of interest to those who have the Motoroal HT820 bluetooth headset, and want to tweak music playback.
I prefer to untick "automute" so that I can hear the phone ring and can issue Voice Commands with MS Voice Command. Problem I was having, every time I opened Windows Media Player to stream music, it would blare out of the internal speaker as well. Here's the fix:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=226814#226814

I´ve installed the cab file and activated the "stream audio" option, my headset is registered and connected, but it is not available in the list of headsets where i checked the "stream audio" box. The list is empty. Maybe just working with stereo headsets ?

Hey all i've followed the prompts time and time again but i come up with the issue that once connected to the ht820 and i open windows media player to play a song the following error msg pops up:
"Bluetooth is turned off. Bluetooth audio has been disabled. Enable Bluetooth audio by turning on Bluetooth, then select Use Bluetooth audio again."
I switch bluetooth off and on and the same msg pops back up when i go to play a song!!!
WTF???
I'm thinking that because i've installed this hack and the other bluetooth hack and removed soo many times i might be in need of a hard reset!
Help so i dont have too PLEASE

Yes, just stereo.
There is a mono way though.

Make sure Bluetooth is on and the phone is not in flight mode.
If all else fails, backup your data (xbackup) and hard reset.

I want to know if the Motorola HT820 works with my Xda II following all the steps you say here?
I have ROM 2.20.07

Sony DS980

Hi,
I am planning to get the Sony DS980 to pair with the Kaiser.
I understand that there are some issues with the volume on some BT headsets paired with the Kaiser. Is this an issue with the Sony DS980?
Secondly, someone on cingular or howard forums suggested that the volume improved when they changed their phone's band from Auto to GSM (under phone settings), suggesting that there might be some interference from the 3G stack. Anyone else noticed this?
thanks very much, MN

I picked up, just yesterday, a DS-970. Volume is fine, but I use phoneAlarm to control my profiles and it has an option to boost the volume.

I'm using DS-970 and volume is just fine without using any sound volume boosting software. I think it even louder than on my previous Hermes.

I use DS980 with my Kaiser (HTC TyTN II) with no problem whatsoever. It seems to pair better with Kaiser than Hermes.
It is able to read incoming call as well as call history from Kaiser without the need to install the Jetware HF extension (which is required for Hermes).
Voice dialing with the build in cyberon software also works great.
Regarding the volume, it is as loud as it is supposed to be. In fact, when set to max, it is too loud for me. I need to reduce the headset volume to make it comfortable.
All devices paired to this Headset will have their BT names shown on the LCD. Thus you can easily check how many devices have been paired with it. Moreover, you can easily switch the connection to the device of your choice. You don't have this feature in the DS970 model.

anyone able to make the DS980 phonebook feature work with Kaiser?

I bought one of these yesterday and sound quality is really good, it can control the HTC music plugin great but you do not get the the song/track name info on the display.
I installed the Jetware software to see what this added and the time from my Kaiser is now displayed on the DS980 display but still cannot access the phonebook

HA! I can't believe my eyes but after like 3 weeks having DS980s' i'we been trying to get the phonebook working with my elf having no succes. And now, i switch my Touch on after a trip through public transport and lol - theres a dialog window asking, if i want to allow access to my phonebook contacts, i press yes, pull out my handsfree and there's complete alfabetical list with all contacts in my phone. And i have no f*ckin idea, how the hell it did itself i tried like everything before and it starts working on it's own OMG anyway, i'm happy

Bluetooth connection starts Mediaplayer

I want to use my TD2 with my bluetooth handsfree set, but it starts the mediaplayer, everytime a connection was established. Is there a way to prevent windows mobile to start the mediaplayer in this szenario?
Tube

I have the same issue, but its when pairing with my car stereo (Bluetooth handfree), but it also start streaming music through the line1 connection to my car stereo !!!
Funny I always wanted to do this, but could not, so went the integrated Ipod route, now I can I don't bloody want it.
Anyway, so far no solution

Same story to me. Also issue's bluetooth. when i want to controll my phone with bluetooth, it starts mediaplayer automaticly.

Hello, does anyone have a solution for this problem? my girlfriend has the same problem.

Have you tried disabling the "wireless stereo" (A2DP) service? Go to Comms manager-Bluetooth-Advanced, then tap and hold on the offending item till the menu comes up, choose "edit", then uncheck "Wireless stereo", leaving just the handsfree profile checked.
I'm assuming you're not interested in the stereo music function, of course!

Already tried that, if you do that you lose BT to the car.
Odd as there are three connections:
- Hands free;
- Wireless stereo;
- Serial port.
Trying any combination aside from handsfree & wireless stereo on, results in losing BT via the car stereo

Have you tried pairing it again from scratch rather than modifying the existing profile? If you delete the car stereo from the list, and then re-pair them using the windows pairing dialogue (rather than the TF3D one) I think you get the chance to specify right from the start which profiles you want to use before you connect,if I remember right.
You might even need to delete the TD2's registration info in your car stereo, if possible, either through the menu of the stereo, or by registering another basic phone before trying the TD2 again. This would work if your car stereo can only store the details of one bluetooth device at a time.
As a last resort you could try disabling A2DP on the TD2 through the registry.
Bluetooth has come a long way, I remember when it was complete crap, now it usually goes smoothly, but every now and then the crap side shows up again and causes massive frustration. I've got a Parrot Party speaker, which when there's a break of more than 15 seconds or so in the music from the TD2, the connection lapses. It still looks like it's connected, on both units, but it's not. You have to turn the speaker off, close the music player app, then re-link both for it to work again. I'm sorry it's off-topic, just venting about the "crap side" of Bluetooth.

Thanks, i've tried every which way so far, but the problem remains, I found the only workaround is to remove any today or touchflo music tabs, at least that stops my TD2 steaming and drawing battery. Instead it opens windows media player, but i've purposely left that empty so at least nothing is being played (i.e. drawing power)
Bluetooth has come a long way, thats so funny you say that, I always wanted to be able to do this, but now my ipod is integrated into my car i don't.

Has anyone figured this out yet? Windows Media Player starts when connecting to the bluetooth factory fitted car kit when I don't want it to !
Is there a reg hack to stop Windows Media Player starting when the pairing takes place on the car's ignition?
Thanks!

A2DP Bluetooth connection Car Radio (JVC) solution

According to a post from "Appelsap" we can make some progress to the A2DP connection.
I had a lot of trouble with connecting to my car radio (JVC KD-ADV49 or AVX44)
I can make a handsfree connection without any problem but when connecting also the Stereo mode (A2DP) I got serious problems.
It disconnects and never came up again. Sometimes it was able to produce some sound but then disconnects after one second.
I tried all tweaks without any result. Only the next tweak helped me out untill know;
Make a new DWORD entrance into HKLM/Drivers/BuiltIn/BtA2dpSnd with a decimal value of "149" The name is "Priority256" Now I have good sounds and it connects ok.
I will test it further and keep you posted.
The value has to do with the altering of the priority of A2DP
Also the track information is diplayed into the JVC head unit and I also can use the remote for skipping to the next or previous number.
I use windows mediaplayer, and when playing music the voice commands of Copilot or Navigon are spoken with little muted music, perfect!
Also I use Cyberon voice command which can be activated by the radio display.

What is the name of the Dword?? I have this same issue with my JVC.

"Priority256"
Oh sorry, the name is "Priority256"

Thank you, I will give this a try and report back. My system is a JVC KD-AVX77

JVC car radio's
Ok that's a newer system so in my opinion it's a HTC/Widcomm issue.
I think HTC has to bring a good solution for these problems

Don't forget to make a soft reset

I agree, I never had a problem with Microsoft stack. But I have never been able to use A2DP with my JVC on any HTC using the Widcomm stack. (HD2, TP2, or TD2)

No go on my JVC. Same problem. Disconnects as soon as I press play.

Glad to see it works for some, sorry to see it doesn't work for all.
Alan, you may want to try to alter the device code, so it connects as a regular phone rather than a PDA, I've seen some people have success with that.
I haven't yet fully tested the priority setting on my own car stereo (from parrot), preliminary results were good though, will report back as soon as I have done extensive tests.

I made the following change:
Change Registry setting:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\Sys
Add the DWORD setting COD=5374476
This makes devices see the HD2 as a 'Normal' phone.
Still no go on the A2DP. Using the the Handsfree profile works very well, just no Stero Bluetooth.

It's very strange that you don't get a connection.
Today I had to make a soft reset and it's still working.
You can try to change the value of the registry key between 60 and 256.
As "Appelsap" already mentioned; with "60"you get connection problems..
In my case before this tweak I get handsfree connection and A2DP connection aswell but also disconnects when I press play onto my JVC set.
Then it will reconnect but with no sound at all (Handsfree and A2DP).
When I connected only the handsfree option everything went well.
With this tweak I have really a good connection also the sound is good only the voice from navigation software is cracking when I'm playing music.

Preferable is also to make a new connection to your headunit by deleting the old one.

I found an other issue with the music player from HTC.
When I use this player the connection will break and reconnect without sound.
When I use Windows Mediaplayer everything goes ok including skipping to next number and so on. How can you explain this.

streaming music over BT and A2DP

i seem to get handsfree phone only when i connect the omnia 7 to my FMT300 BT handsfree car kit. I cannot stream music !
the FMT300 works fine with my BB Torch and HTC Desire
is this to normal?

Handsfree Device is the only Bluetooth profile supported by WP7 currently.

thx for your reply, and what a big disappointment.
so why do they post it in the specs if it doesnt work ?

Done! I turned on Bluetooth and my headpones appeared instantly (as "headset"). Connected fine. I can play music through my Bluetooth headphones - tried using a marketplace sample as I don't store music on my phone.

@CreepinJesus,
thx for giving this a try, this made me give it a go at my older Parrot PMK5800 kit and guess what, the Omnia 7 was happy to pair and play music with this kit.
"can't have it all" i guess, but at least it proves a2dp over bt could work
cheers

Perhaps it only allows music playack over headphone devices and not hands-free kits? I don't have a hands-free thing to test it with.

I've been able to play music through A2DP to my Sony Ericcson MW600 headset no problem. A2DP is definitely supported by Windows Phone 7.
There is however, an issue with video. Video sound still comes out of the phone speaker, and is not sent over Bluetooth. It's an issue with WP7, not the phone and hopefully will be fixed in an update.

I can stream music over my Motorola T505 car speakerphone just fine

Enclosed the reply from the supplier (Technaxx):
"The music stereo streaming depends on the mobile phone functions.
Check if your mobile phone can be connected with the transmitter over the A2DP protocol.
(Some phones need to be connected with 2 separate BT profiles: BT Headset and A2DP)"
no clue what this all means.
As far as I can see the Omnia does not allow for any settings, right?
it just connects and one hopes it works
this apposed to my BB Torch where i can set different kinds of connections, the Omnia has no settings at all.

A2DP is the profile it needs to use for music. I think your headset is connecting only with the headset profile, so it cann't play music.
I'm not sure if you can set profiles... If you can, somehow, you need to set your headset to use A2DP, then you will be able to play music through it.

Thx for your reply.
The thing is the "headset" is an FM carkit and A2DP works fine when i connect any of my other phones (Palm Pre, Palm Plus, BB Torch and HTC Desire). In all these cases i get both handsfree phone and music streaming. No special settings needed. These phones also all allow me to change the type of connection from within the phone afterwards.
None of that when i connect the Omnia 7. Al i get is handsfree phone calls (a handsfree connected confirmation window pops up). No other connections ...
So i really think it is an Omnia 7 "absence of settings" compatibility problem. There are no settings available in the phone.
I am using my BB Torch at the moment also because market is not available in the Netherlands ...... not much fun with this phone

dont know what happened but i gave it another try today and now it seems to be working.
unbelievable ...
the thing is you still do not get to see the profiles that have been set but it works ..
thanks everybody for the support ...
