How I finally got A2DP to (mostly) work

Hey everyone, I've been posting on this board for a few days now trying desperately to make ADp work as it should on my Prophet. Well. after many failed attempts and sleepless nights, I finally got it to work, so I though i'd share the story for the benefit of others who might be having trouble with A2DP (and maybe get a few of my remaining questions answered).
For the record, i own a Qtek s200 with the latest Dopod ROM, and a Bluetake i-Phono Mini headset. Here's what I did:
- First i installed the widely available A2DP patch (along witth the DLLs and the reg settings).
- Then I paired it with the I-phono (in Bluetooth settings, choose hansdfree and wireless stereo mode)).
- After trying most music players out there, I finally settled on PocketMusic 4.25. The reason is that almost no player actually has AVRCP controls integrated yet, and the only one that does, WMP10, for some reason would not recognize the Play/Pause function of the Bluetake.
- Now, almost everything works: I can play, pause, FF, Rewind, lower and raise the volume from the headset. When a call comes, i can answer it through the headset and when i finish, the music resumes. If you only want to use the headset for music, disable the handsfree profile and answer the phone normally.
-As far as skipping goes, it's not so bad: the music skips maybe once every 15-20 minutes, so it's tolerable.
So, this is where I am so far. I'm pretty happy with it, thought there are a few things I thought would work that i still haven't figured out:
1. To initiate handsfree mode, all i have to do is click on the phone button of the headset, and immediately it switches from normal to handsfree. So far, so good. However, i haven't found how to do the same thing for music. Everytime I want to switch from listening to music on the phone itself to the headset, i have to go to Bluetooth>settings>devices>refresh>wireless stereo>save. It's very annoying, there should be a one-button way of doing this.
2. Sometimes, after I restart pocketmusic for example, the wireless stereo pairing will be lost and the sound goes "nowhere", meaning it doesnt even come out of the phone anymore. And even reestablishing the wireless stereo profile will not solve this, i have to soft reset and re-initiate the pairing.
3. Finally, I haven't found a way to easily go from handsfree to normal (the reverse of problem 1). It is also very cumbersome.
So, all in all, I'm pretty happy with how things work, and would defintiely recommend this combo, if you dont mind the few problems I've listed. As for those, unless someone has found a way to make these things work, I think the best solution would be for HTC to implement a Bluetooth headset quick menu in a future revision (sort of like what they have right now for Wifi/Push email/phone, only made specifically for bluetooth). I wouldnt mind if my phone had an extra button just for that.
My 2 cents...

Thanks for the information
Hi tdx, that was great information and I have it working on my Prophet (imate jamin). If you have found a solution to your final problem please let me know as I too am looking for this, but at the moment I am very happy with the way this all works (the i-phono mini headphones are great).
Cheers,
Winkie

Well. I made some headway since I posted this:
- Pocketmusic still works, and is still the best software for the Iphono Mini. But it's still eating up my resources.
- Pocket Player has come up with a beta version of their plyaer that sort of works, and is more user friendly. But, like WMP10, the play/pause button doesn't work, while it works in pocketmusic. Hopefully with the final release of their software, it will work completely, and I'll be able to switch to that.
- TCPMP, my favorite media player, doesn't support AVCRP, but they're supposedly coming up with a major (ie paying) release this month, soI'll keep my pinkies crossed and wait.
- Finally, regarding the pairing problem, I think it's due to the lack of an official support of ADP in the Prophet. Since other cellphone/headset combos work, and this one doesn't (you have to initiate it manually every single time), I guess it comes down to the Prophet's A2DP unofficial implementation not being good enough.
But i've given up on the idea that there will be an official ROM upgrade for the Prophet with A2DP. HTC has moved on to the TyTn, and, as usual, they'll make us buy their latest cellphone if we want A2DP. As much as i love them, sometimes they really, really bugger me...

WM6 bluetooth headsets losing sound

I appear to be having problems ever since i changed to wm6 for Trinity. My itech blueband bluetooth stereo headset is often losing sound when playing music. any way to solve this?
EDIT: solution page 4!

more details plz: rom version, radio version etc...

theese registry keys can be the sotution!!
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\VoiceCommand]
"LaunchAPEnable"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\VoiceCommand]
"VoiceCmdDuration"=dword:99999
or use this cab, its the same!!

rom is the latest official wm6. how i check radio? oh cool, i'll try out that cab dude, and post here the results

not working bro. shudnt my pda restart after installing that cab? i installed in main memory, and i'm now using my headphones. still got the problem. your registry tweaked the voice commander, my problem is with the bluetooth. 0_o
as in, i listen to music using my bluetooth headset, i hear
EXAMPLE: BONJOVI'S ITS MY LIFE
Its my ..(no sound suddenly).........Now and never, i aint gonna live forever!
the sound is lost but the music is still playing

Getting the same problem with iTech R35 bluetooth stereo headphones and offical Dopod WM6 upgrade (ROM 3.00.707.17 / Radio 1.46.00.11).
The headphones were working fine for the last 6 months with decent sound quality after pairing. Ever since I upgraded to WM6, either the headphones or the phone are dropping the BT connection after random intervals of between 5 minutes - 30 minutes. i.e. the sound suddenly cuts off even though the PDA is still playing music and everything seems to still be connected ( the BT icon is still displayed in the taskbar). If I re-pair again, it comes back for a short while, but then always cuts off again

This is the exact same problem I have with my R35 and WM6. I have figured out a way to make it cut out on a song (a different format wma). if i just play mp3s it will start to skip and then cut out completely after a random time. So I think its WMP I tried different radios and it still doesn't work....
help us anyone!

I posted a thread but no one was able to help...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=320809

I don't think it's a WMP problem,since I generally don't use that app. It's dropping for me with Resco Pocket Radio and CorePlayer.
Getting fed up with Dopod firmware. First, it was the 'no-bass' problem with the previous ROM. Now, it's this problem...! Can't they just release firmware without MAJOR bugs in it?!

I don't want to suggest this but do you think it has something to do with the itech clips?

when i use my BT stereo headset (plantronics pulsar 260) the music stopped sometimes, like described above.
when i disconnect my headset, the music plays normally over the phone speaker. no problem at all.
i guess its just another bluetooth problem.
when my phone is in my right pocket, and the receiver of my BT-set is in my left pocket, my body is between them, it gives the same problem( i am on my ATB at the time, moving)
very strange.....and no, i dont have any metal in my body. ;-)

Hi,
I'm using Touch 1.2 U-Clip and I have the exact same problem. So it's not just with i-Tech. I hope someone will find a solution for this problem.

Think its the Bluetooth stack
I am having the exact same frustrating problem - after checking to see if it was a Dopod error (tried closing down everything else on the PPC, tried other wired headsets), I have come to the conclusion it is something in WM6 Bluetooth, as I did not have this problem in the previous WM5 on the same machine with the smae Blueant Stereo headphones - mind you with WM6, I have full function with the Media Player, that is I can pause, next track, etc, whereas I couldnt do this with the WM5 version. WM5 had a really annoying high pitched whine, otherwise worked a treat.
So, in short WM6 has fixed the whine, has brought full features to the headset, but skips (blanks) the songs. Just before each "blank" I have noticed that it sounds like the song slows up - much like an old tape player running our of battery.
Now, I have no idea how/where/who to fix this, so anybody with even half a clue, please let all of us know, this is getting quite maddening!

bump for the thread. and yea man, i have the same prob. its like a battery dead sound, as the song goes out of tune etc

a slightly different problem
i use the INDIGO LITE rom, and i use OMIZ 5110 stereo headset, and i dont have the skiping problems described here, however since upgrading to WM6 the sound quality is terrible, i feel like tori amos is singing in my bathroom (which if was true could be really great) but alas, its just crappy sound quality... i tried changing the registry BITPOOL to 58 and played with all the values there known to man (at least to THIS man) but nothing helps...

Going by the devices that have this 'dropping sound' problem, it seems to only be affecting A2DP stereo bluetooth headsets paired with WM6 Trinity devices. Or are regular bluetooth mono headsets affected as well?

Personally havent paired a mono headset, but the problem I am having is definitely a stereo one! Any solution as opposed to taking to the machine with an axe?

Anyone found a solution yet?????? Please!!!!

I am also having the same sound dropping problems.

I have the same problem as well. I have just upgraded my rom to official WM6 rom. I'm using iTech Clip Radio.

Finally - A2DP on my BA, small problems remain

Hi all,
after I've spent hours and hours of trial&error trying to get my BA to have A2DP, here's what I've found out:
1. Problem
My BA (tried all WM5 & WM6 ROMs) has always had the skipping problem, but much worse than it is usually described. Usually people say it skips a bit every some seconds, but with mine it was like 1/3rd of a second music, 2/3rds no music and so on.
I eventually found out that with the BitPool setting set to 20, the skipping was down to "normal" level, at least one could identify the piece of music that was played. Anyway, you'll see that BitPool=20 is not exactly pushing sounds to your headset that the word "quality" can describe in any way.
2. WIDCOMM stack
Then I tried the WIDCOMM/BroadCom stack posted by helmi_c here. That one actually delivered great A2DP quality, but has a major problem: HeadSet/HandsFree just doesn't work. I've tried every patch out there, even flashed back to WM2003SE, but to no avail. I guess the people who developed the stack just never got around to capture the phone "start call"/"end call" events. Although there an option that the headset profile always stays connected. Here are the reg settings:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WIDCOMM\Plugin\HandsFree]
Code:
"AudioSetupDll"
Here, I tried "MkSpk_PCM_Routing.dll", "HTC_PCM_Routing.dll" and "SD_PCM_Routing.dll", there wasn't any difference between them. Don't waste your time.
Code:
"AudioPreferences"
Pretty simple: 1 = Handle phone calls in the headset, 2 = Handle all audio in the headset. 3 = both. Can't remember that 2 ever worked as it should have.
Code:
"AudioHandling"
Now this is a bit more difficult.
I know that 16 means that the option "Handle all audio to the headset" is enabled and thus shown in the Advanced preferences for any (mono) headset.
Value 1 means the headset icon (which looks like old-fashioned headphones and appears in the top bar, not only in the phone app) is enabled. I can't remember now if that also meant that the connection between the PPC and the headset is kept in an idling state or if value 8 was good for that.
Anyway, if AudioPreferences is set so that the connection to the headset is always connected (constant, silent noise in the headset), then you can actually hear the phone calls in the headset and speak through it. But the audio still stays in the device too, which means both speaker and microphone of the PPC are active, too. Annoying, to say the least.
3. Solution with MS Stack
Eventually, I couldn't stand using a BT headset for music but then having to grab the Blue Angel by hand when a phone call came in, so I decided to go back to the MS stack. And then, after hours of searching and flashing (even copied files from other ROMs and cooked my own ROMs), a great fortune find came my way. I had set the btuart flags to 4 (just to see if it would make any difference) and then I found this MSDN article, which is only available in Japanese (could someone translate?), but it gave me enough information to add this value:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\device]
"DefaultMtu"=dword:800
And alas, it worked! I got a fine stream of HQ A2DP to my headset! Now I'm down to "normal" skipping, which I yet have to fix (don't know if I ever will), but at least it's not as crappy "quality" as it has been.
Summary
If you have extreme skipping with A2DP, these settings might help:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\device]
"DefaultMtu"=dword:800
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\Transports\BuiltIn\3]
"flags"=dword:4 (or 5)
Then reboot.
Now there is only one problem left (and I'm inclined to see it as a problem of the crappy no-name headset I've got): from time to time (sometimes after 10sec, sometimes after 10min) the headset suddenly plays white noise instead of the music. Whenever I push either the forward or backward button, the music continues normally (so I currently use TCPMP because it does not support AVRCP). Has anyone else had this problem? The noise is very disturbing, because it is much louder than the music (I can still change the volume of the noise with the volume control buttons). I'm not sure if it is the SBC codec of WM5/6, possible causes could be:
1. SBC codec messes up and is reinitialized upon the AVRCP message
2. SBC codec/A2DP/AVDTP sends a packet or encoding that is unsupported by my headset and the headset reinitializes when you push a button
3. headset somehow looses track of the BT encryption and cannot decode the music anymore (although I think I had disabled the encryption and it didn't go away)
Regards,
Stefan

WOW great job I will try it out I have the problem when listen to music howerver with the btIO V0.6 help me on that I just enable AudioGWCC before connect the BT headset it will send out the music ALMOST properly however it will stop less than a second every 10 sec (actually randomly) however still not acceptable for me it too often
I use Jabra BT320s with Xplode rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=342142

Now I was actually able to fix the most annoying "music turns into noise" problem using the file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1104981&postcount=59
Great
@touchu: If you were using sentence delimiters (those funny dots and commas), maybe I would be able to understand your problem. Anyway, I don't know what you mean by btIO V0.6 and I don't know the AudioGWCC option you mentioned. I just use "Bluetooth Settings", tap&hold on my headset and choose "Set as Wireless Stereo". For skipping issues there are hundreds of other threads.

Thank you so much for this fix. After much trial and error myself, this is all I needed to do to make my new Motorola S9 headset work with my BA. I experience zero skips as long as I stay within the limited range of the BA (within 1 meter if the BA is in front of me, 2 if it is behind me). Point of information, this headset is a behind the head style and my neck/head seems to decrease the range significantly.

A2DP skip : any solution ?

I am trying Touch HD with a Jabra 620s, A2DP (stereo headset profile), but I suffer occasional music skips.
I have read numerous thread about this problem, and habitual registery fixes like Priority256 etc.. doesnot seems to work with Touch HD.
With Bitpool=30 I have no skip, but sound is awful.
With Bitpool=40 I begin to skip. JOINEDSTEREO=1 helps a little.
I have not tried all Bitpool values below 40 (painful, softreset etc..) but Bitpool=40 is minimum quality IMO.
I tweaked Priority256 (/HKLM/Drivers/BuiltIn/BtA2dpSnd) down to 1, with not much improvement.
I noticed also turning Wifi off helps, but it is no sufficient.
Does anyone of you use A2DP ? Do you have problems ? Thanks for your help.

i use it with the Sony Ericsson DS980 and i dont have any problems at all.. the only thing i notice is that the screen turns on every time i change the song.. any way to get rid of that? want to save battery lol.. ..

I get skips too. Haven't figured a solution yet.

I'm using Moto S9 stereo BT headset, I have the same problem......
And I noticed, when I start play music, and press the powerbutton make the HD enter the blackscreen mode, the quality is good, and music play very smooth, but if I press powerbutton again make the HD back to normal status, and screen on, big stutter occured, and after some seconds BT lost connect with HD......

It's a little outdated, however have you used Sleuth's A2DP fix?

i always got skips with a jabrabt620s and a trinity...well you can minimize it - but never get totally rid of the problem....this is an A2DP limitation, sensitive to EMI like wifi etc.
My suggestion: go to wires...

Skipping?
I've been using a Votager 855 A2DP headset for 6 or so months with Pocket player. It's an excellent application, complete with A2DP compliant equalizer.
I listen to head banging music, but it never skips...but maybe it does and I just don't notice between the bangs.
In another forum several months ago a person or two took up my suggestion on the PP app, and had good results with a stereo BT headset.

I've seen it, but not installed it for two reasons :
1) It isn't validated for WM6 nor for Touch HD
2) It seems to eat CPU time too much, according to certain posts
Thanks for the tips anyways. If someone more daring than me installs it on Touch HD, keeps up informed.

A lot of people have problems with A2DP, but a lot too have none. I'm pretty sure problem comes from poor BT stack, not A2DP technology itself or BT broadcast / EMI problems. I've almost the same skipping rate with my headset 30cm from my HD, than 5 or 8m from my HD.
Your suggestion is wise, but I'm eager to make my Christmas present functionnal..

I've just downloaded it and tryied it. For now, no skip at all !!! (with BitPool=42) This application seems to be very optimized for A2DP.
I keep you informed in this thread if this resolves my issue. I want to increase Bitpool to 50 or more to have optimal quality (I listen classical), and I hope PP will handle this datarate.
Thanks for this excellent advice audscott.

dear all,
i remember searching up for ad2p anti-skip quite a few months back.
my conclusion was the following settings:
jointstereo -> turn on
samplerate -> 48000
remove all bitrate settings
then all should be well.
The previous settings that involves bitrate, priorit256 are meant for wm5 devices.
in wm6.1, most of these are redundant. in my case, the above settings works perfectly on my itech blueband pro. ad2p and avcrp works well with the default player or with wmp.

Where can one find these settings? I have looked high and low!
***Doh! Found them... HD Tweak is my friend!***

I also have iTech BlueWhatEver and it works better, but still ones a few minutes sound skips
Also how to prevent phone from waking up from standby when I press pause/ff/rew button? Because it's ****ing annoying, I have to manually turn phone back off, so avcrp is totally useless if I have to touch the phone.

I suggest you lower the bitrate to 44100. 48k is useless since your mp3 are in 44.1kHz and you will save some CPU, bandwith
Jointstereo = 0 is prefered for quality purposes.
Then the bitpool ... this is where it gets tricky because every headset have their own limitations.
When i use it with my sony ericsson HBH-IS800 I can go up to 48.
If I use another device I need to lower it to 40.
The "CPU" of you headset needs to be taken into account.
The touch HD have no difficulties encoding SBC in realtime in high bitrate, the issue comes from the headset itself not able to decode SBC fast enough according to the bitpool you chose.
So there's nothing you can do except trying another BT Stack (that can have better SBC encoding algorithm) or changing you A2DP headset.

ROM 1.66 A2DP issue

Hi guys
I've a problem with the new Italian ROM 1.66 for Leo. When I let the phone to discover my bluetooth headset (jabra BT320s) it pairs and connect well but the only service it shows me in the options is handsfree. the headset is a stereo one and with the 1.48 ROM there was 2 serviced : hand free and stereo bluetooth. another thing I noticed is an option in the bluetooth menu that is called "Route all audio to bluetooth". The problem is that all sound are routed as mono and not stereo and so the quality of the music player is awful. I tried to pair a lot of times and recharge my headet to reset the internal memory but without success. Does anyone notice this problem? Thanks

This is common on jabra-headsets. If you own one, charge it 3 times for 5 seconds, then 5 seconds pause, then charge 5 seconds again and so on.
Afterwards pair again!

Thank you. I know about this issue for jabra Headset but I usually charge it and all is ok. never mind. I'll try this way and see what will happen. The strange thing is that this problem appears only for WM Phones because with Omnia HD worked like a charm.
Thanks again

After reading these posts, I too tried my Jabra Headset (BT) and sure enough A2DP didn't work.
I uninstalled DJCedric Volume Icon Fix and now it's working perfectly, maybe you've done similar?

no. I didn't install taskbars. I have the original one but there's no way to let it to work. I tried several times in several ways but my Leo doesn't recognize the stereo service. So...can somebody give me an advece on wich headset I could buy (stereo bluetooth with standard jack for headphones)?
thanks

Bluetooth Stereo Headset
Hi,
I have a really good Bluetooth Stereo Headset.
It works very well. Easy to pair, and sounds pretty good too.
You can use it to listen to music even if your computer/stereo is not Blue Tooth enabled. Comes with a dongle thingy that you plug into the headphones / speaker outlet on your computer, stereo, MP3 player, portable CD or whatever and it will then pair with the headset and you can listen to music up to 12 metres away from the music source. Walls are no problem, and you can have your music as loud as you like without disturbing anyone. Pretty cool huh? Both the dongle and the headset charge from computer or house outlet.
Microphone works as well so it makes a really great gaming headset.
When teamed with an iPhone it makes use of the hands free feature and you don't even need to train it. Just press the button and say the name of the person you want to ring, and it finds the contact and rings them. Plays music by just saying the name of a song as well.
Used to be called BlueAnt X5.
Can be used on ANY phone which has a2dp compatibility.
Will work on ANY other device with an earphone outlet and the supplied dongle.
