stereo headset on wizard

my 2.5 - 3mm adapter that worked on my blue angel in STEREO gives me MONO output on my wizard (same mp3 file, wmp10, same headphones etc.).
means it's useless as an mp3 player...
anyone got a way of getting stereo output from the wizard?

wrong; channel asymmetry!
ok, after running the output through the stereo, i can hear that there is some left channel output, but that it is on a balance of about 5%Left/95%Right
open to suggestions...!

it has been said that the pin config is non standard due to the mic
readit here somewhere

yes but...
the adapter works in the blue angel, which also has a mic. in fact the (awful) standard headsets shipped in the box are interchangeable.
any other ideas? any good experience with BT headsets, perhaps?

Picked up a Motorola BT 820 last week (CompUSA had them for $79.99; Expansys now has them for $78). It works really well with my SX66 (BlueAngel), still running PPC2003.
It supports A2DP, handsfree, and AVRCP profiles; the SX66 doesn't support AVRCP, unfortunately, so the Moto's media control buttons don't work. As a handsfree phone headset, it works at least as well as the Bluespoon AX2 -- the Moto has none of the speaker/mic crosstalk that cheaper BT headphones (Zonet ZUB8100) have and the mic (built into the right speaker housing) has good pickup and selectivity.
In A2DP mode, there's no static (at least close to the SX66; I haven't done any distance tests yet). Haven't tested switching from A2DP to handsfree (i.e. answering the phone when listening to music), or use with Voice Command -- that'll come later when I get some free time.
The only problem I've seen with the BT 820 is that it sometimes takes 2 or 3 tries to get the SX66 to connect to it, especially in A2DP mode.

have the same headphones with k-jam, the avrcp works as well as a2dp,
also can dial and answer calls handsfree, the music stops and then re-starts after the call.

Ummm...
Am I missing something?
How can A2DP work with the K-Jam if support for A2DP hasn't been released yet?

Confused
I have the O2 XDA mini s varient and understood A2DP was not included?

if you go to this link you will be rewarded
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=40458
the version i tried is in french,
but at the end of the post is info abaut a danish & english version
(stuck with french until i get home tonight.)

Thanks for the link and info aliendad.
For us noobs to rom U/Gs, (and assuming that you have an O2 Mini-S), what changes can we expect from this rom to the standard O2 UI, do we have to re-configure GPRS for example.
a2dp is one of the most irritating missing components from WM5 so this will be a great U/G if it works.
Sorry if the question is a bit dumb guys
Kim

i have the imate k-jam, and the cab is available to set up o2 contract settings for you.
only found small list of changes but as i have already said, sorry don't do french.
clock on today screen
a2dp & avrcp
alarm wakes up pda
password comes on at set time even when the unit is on

@aliendad
I presume you'll be installing the english version asap so maybe I'll wait for your comments before taking the plunge
Kim

will be as soon as i get home from work
have seen some saying they are having upgrade problems?

Exactly the same as this one: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5860021523 but shorter and rewired for the Wizard, thinking of knocking some together and selling them on Ebay, but do not know whether i can be bothered yet. :lol:

Well I got the Hama lead BUT any slight knock and the damn thing starts to come out with the result in a loss of one channel. (just putting my phone in my pocket causes the plug to come loose??)
Now as I've got a pair of Logitech MP3 bluetooth stereo headphones I'll give the ROM update a go to see if the A2DP bluetooth works or not??
A couple of questions though..
Is there a decent set of bluetooth stereo headphones out there, that ALSO have a mic for hands free?? and
I assume updating the ROM will not effect the contents of the extended ROM?? (well it didn't last time)
Cheers
John

i tried the bluetake range, but in the end have the motorola ht820 which are very nice and not as expensive as some of the others.
watch out that some say handsfree but you have to make the call using the pda, (you can answer/hangup from the headset) whereas the ht820 can use voice dial.
the upgrade of the rom will effect the extended rom if you are installing a complete new rom set.
there have been downloads with a selected rom only, and then nothing else is effected.
but full upgrade will lose everything you have.

@aliendad
Did you get to try the A2DP english hack yet?
Kim

Hello,
Sorry for the interuption. Just a quick question. Going through so many post. I still cant find any solution or any good stereo headset build in MIC. The original headset is really annoying and ugly.
Itried to browse all over and look for a compatible headset. But all doesnt look very good.
Any recomendation ?
Many Thanks!

anwering yours and cozzykim's post at the same time,
am now running the english rom with a2dp and it works fine so far,
and for waiho, i have myself the motorola ht820 head set, which after trying others i felt was the best choice.
there are some that are smaller, but either have a detachable mic, or one set could not be used for voice dial! you could hangup/answer from the headset, but had to dail from the pda.
defeats the object for me.
i travel to work on the london underground, and it is great when you are squashed like a sardine in a can to be able to adjust volume, next/previus track just by touching my ear (well almost) :lol:

Hello,
Thanks for the advice. I think the headset that you using is too big for me. Im looking something like
Im still not sure issit compatible with K-jam or is there anyone using it already.
But the website stated is compatible.

Motorola T605 BT Car kit

Just got the the Motorola T 605 Automotive Music and Hands-free System installed into my car. Works great with the Kaiser (I have the TILT) for both Hands-free and Wireless Stereo BT profiles. When connected with a vehicle specific adapter harness, the stereo is automatically muted for incoming calls, and conversation is played from front speakers only. A long press on the talk button even launches Cyberon Voice Speed Dial (which is provided with the TILT). When using Wireless Stereo and WMP, all skip/ forward/ back/ pause/ play functions work flawlessly. Provided BT is enabled on the kaiser before the ignition is turned on, the connection for both profiles is automatic. Very nice adition for those of us who own a car that did not come with factory BT.

Wiring Harness
Hi, Where did you find the vehicle specific wiring harness?

Hi,
I happen to have the same car kit and my Kaiser doesn't find it!
My T605 is discovered and works flawlessly with my SonyEricsson K800i phone (both for call and streaming music) as well as my old HP IPAQ 5555 (obviously, only for music with this one).
On the other hand, my Kaiser works flawlessly with both Plantronics 590A and Jabra BT8010 in both modes.
So, what could be wrong? I have the latest Shap's ROM (4.31) on my Kaiser, didn't try it with the stock one.
Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks!

That's a tough one. Mine connected first time to both BT profiles with the 605. I do recall a limitation on the 605 regarding how many partnerships the T605 supports. Although it's a pain, I'd suggest clearing all partnerships from the T605, and the Kaiser, and then try and connect again. I'm using a TILT, but had no issues with either ROM in my sig.

Which is better? The T605 or the T505?

I think 605 requires professional install, but 505 doesn't

So I'm going to help my buddy install the T605 into his saturn Ion (04). The demo on the motorola website says you can buy a harness to make the phone call go through the oem speakers and not have to use the 5W powered speaker. Is this harness necessary or will this happen for you when you follow the install instruction?
Also, If this is not controlled by the aux port on the HU how will the music (A2DP) play through the system? There must be relays in the HF unit to do this? Or will I need to go through the aux port on the HU?
I have the IHF1000 in my car and that was a very easy install......Other than tapping into the OEM wires this should be pretty cut and dry? As long as you know what OEM wires to use?
Motorola has been completely useless as far as tech support goes.

For Motorola T605 and IHF1000 vehicle-specific adapter harnesses, try the selection from www.peripheralelectronics.com (their CelFi harnesses), or the drive&talk harnesses at www.nicestuffonline.com . A solution should be there somwhere between them for the ION.
As for the integration, connect the RCA L/R output from the T605 to an available MP3 or aux. input, or find an aux. input adapter for your vehicle (examples are from Blitzsafe, Periperhal Electronic's Aux2Car and others). If there is no specific adapter available for your vehicle, you could always use Scosche's FM-MOD01 FM modulator to bring the audio in DIRECTLY through the FM antenna port (vehicle-specific antenna adapters may be required). The in-line modulator works without static, unlike that of many FM broadcast/transmitter solutions.

As mentioned above, the easiest thing to do is start by sourcing the vehicle specific adapter from one of those companies in the previous post and go from there. I did that, and installed the t605 in my car in NO time. You just plug the adapter into the back of your stereo, plug the harness from the t605 to that, and then run the lines out for the mic and for the controls, then run RCA from the t605 to your AUX connection (either 3rd party aux interface or factory opening if you have it). It's freaking great. You're done in NO time. The handsfree is GREAT, and even better is that you can stream whatever you want from your phone... I'll take shoutcast and internet radio over paying for XM/Sirius any day of the week.

If you were able to run another moto unit you'll have no trouble with this... it just adds one connection for the audio.

I'm sure the answer is probably yes, but it helps clear things up for me to speak them out loud.
Here is what I want to have happen. I want to be able to put my Tilt in my car and have my car to play music from the Tilt through the car's speakers. I don't care whether it is through a wired connection or a wireless connection via Bluetooth or an FM transmitter. Will this do this fine?
Like I said, I think the answer is yes, but I would like someone else to confirm it. And I was going to get a separate Bluetooth headset to use in the car and just walking around. I'll still get that, but I think this should be fine when I'm driving in the car and I must take a call.
Final question. How is the sound quality coming through the speakers and how is the reception on the other end? Can they hear you fine?

It will work, but I think it's a bit overkill if you're looking to go that simple. If you're not hung up on BT why not just buy a basic AUX interface for your car with a 3.5mm jack on it, then grab the adapter to plug it into the bottom to the tilt? It's not as "cool" or "elegant" but heck, if you jsut want to play audio but don't want to stream it why make things hard?

For audio or phone calls?
It's great for audio.
Phone calls are good. Nobody every says they can't hear me, but sometimes if I'm at WOT or have the windows down I can't hear them because the volume output is a tad low. I have a loud car though, so that's more my fault than motorolas.

Wiring Harness
Hi...I have a 2007 Mazda6 with the factory Bose stereo system. I am looking for a 3rd party wiring harness so I can connect the Motorola T605 to the stereo. I have looked at the places mentioned in previous posts to find the harness, but have not been successful...this may be because I am not sure what I am looking for. If someone has any information I would be greatly appreciative...
Thanks!

Headsets for Kaiser

Hi guys and girls
could you please write in this thread Headsets which are working OK with Kaiser ?

Sennheiser VMX 100
Hello,
Sennheiser VMX 100 has the problem of static and crackle all the time when used with Kaiser but...
with FSC T830 has an excellent quality.
So I believe that all the problems reported around the Bluetooth headset´s are coming from Kaiser and his horrible bluetooth audio sound (A2DP is excellent !!).
Tks.

Just get yourself a Jabra BT8040. If that doesn't do it for you, look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=337595

Hi there,
As ericc191 suggestion I swapped the sennheiser vmx 100 with jabra bt8040, and let me tell to You guys that my problems are gone!
Thank You ericc191 for Your suggestion and review of the BT8040, as You said the only problem that I found was about sound volume that could be a little bit louder, but that´s OK.
tks

I haven't had any issues with my Jawbone thus far. I've gone through tons of BT headsets. The Jawbone is top on my list. Then again, I'm on the phone in Airports/Subways etc pretty frequently.

Jabra BT620s
I recently bought this stereo headset via Amazon for about $40, and it's a terrific $40 headset. The sound quality is exceptional for the price point, and it works well with my Tilt.
I have a weekly dial-in meeting with our team in Bangalore, and last night I finally had a chance to try out this headset on that meeting. I've never been able to understand the guys in Bangalore with their heavy accents, even with my land line handset. Well, last night I understood every word clear as a bell. Knowing what I know now, I'd have been willing to pay three times the $40.
Just FYI.

Plantronics 510 works great!
I have used this Plantronics 510 Voyager with a Treo 650, a Moto V3i and now the Tilt.
It pairs seemlessly whenever I switch it and the bluetooth on. The volume is acceptable and I have hearing loss.
It activates Voice Command 1.6 by holding the button for a second.
No one has complained about the voice quality.

Jawbone vs. H12
I have both the Jawbone and the Motorola H12.. I absolutely hate the Jawbone because it is so uncomfortable. Compared tot he H12 the Jawbone has a bit better noise cancellation. Incoming is said to be the same. I find it so as well. But the comfort on the H12 blows the Jawbone away. It is lighter and I can get it on with one hand. The buttons are also eaier to push on the H12.

Jabra
Hello
i use the Jabra Headset because it supports the Handsfree and also the A2DP Bluetooth protocol, i need this because now i can hear the tomtom voice also over the headseat...
http://web.jabra.com/JabraCMS/EM/EN/MainMenu/Products/MobileMusic/JabraBT8010/JabraBT8010

Nokia BH-500, perfect..

I use Cellpopint's Flamingo an I can tell that it is the best bluetooth headset I have ever used and believe me I have tried many! It has good sound quality, is more or less unbreakable (you can actually throw it in a concret wall and it is still fine) The battery time is good and one thing that makes it one of the best there is is the earclick system. It fits really nice in your ear whitout cancelling out surrounding sounds and are perfect when you drive and listening to music. They are releasing a couple of stereos in a short time and I will buy one of those.

How do you use the darned thing? Do your ear loops stay on. I tried wearing mine again after a long while and I hadto go looking for the earl oops in the grass.
I truly HATE the jabra bt8010. I will NEVER buy another jabra ever again.

I use the Motorola K 700. It works perfect with loud and clear sound even while Truck driving.

I just like my Jabra BT 8040 verrrrrrrrrrry much....

Sennheiser VMX100 Black = more snap, crackle, & pop than rice krispies with pop rocks together
Plantronics Voyager 510S = some pops, but more "reasonable" than the VMX100...
I'm so pissed I didn't read the NewEgg return policy on the Sennheiser, since I'm stuck with the damn thing now... Return for exchange only on that one kiddies.

Jabra BT620
I am very happy with this since flashing the new ROM. I had volume issues before.

Here, here!
I've tried many BT headsets and this one is my "old reliable." It wins hands down. Excellent voice quality from the callee's point of view (even outside in windy conditions), and I can hear them perfectly (and I keep the volume all the way down). And, just as parkgt mentioned, pairs seemlessly and works great with Voice Command.
All in all, it has to be the best BT headset I've tried...for any phone.

Audio from phone to car Bluetooth?

I noticed that when I'm connected to the cars bluetooth I can hear audio from my phone... Sadly the quality is terrible...
Is there anyway to send music to my car while still retaining good music quality?
the aux cable is proving to be a hassle.
Heard about a black berry bluetooth device they ppl on the mbforums use...

that must be your car that is crappy, because i stream BT audio from the phone to the car every time i drive, as it is easier to update my phone with the latest music i want to hear.
quality is perfect, car deck is a CZ509 10" sub, and yes the sound comes out loud and clear on all 6 speakers including the most beloved bass and sub boom bomm boom
if the car got no boom, it is boring to ride.
SGS is my #1 DJ phone, it rulez, yeah baby!
oh! oh! the best thing is, i luv that sweet voice of it, when it tells me the time of the alarm in the car, and if some one calls me, emails me, text me, it reads me all with that sweet lady voice of its
and it will automatically switch between music to hands free phone conversation, and back to audio when the call has ended.
my wife is actually jealous of my SGS as i seem to be spending more time in bed with the phone than with her.

comes with SGS? or you have other application to make that happen?

there are many apps for that, the build in one is vlingo (in samsung apps), and you can install
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8461187&postcount=102
and there are even more apps to customize to talk back to the phone to write your SMS, and or dictate an emails for you like vlingo
the only trick is that most of these apps requires some voice training and customization to use them to its max potential.
try it, it's free

wtf really...
benz usually do slack on the entertainment aspect of their cars...
i mean damn that is weird... i have the phone paired with the car, conversations work fine... but as for audio... hmm
ill check out those programs though... maybe i was doing something wrong... :\
and yes loud clear music is great... nothing less than 192 for sure... the 8' stock harman kardon sub is ok... but i wish i had a 10 or 12 in there.
thanks still.
edit: any external bluetooth receivers that might work through a aux cable jack?

ignore the apps mentioned above, those are only for voice commands, and voice features.
back to the Audio Quality part of the conversation, check to see what features does your in car bluetooth supports, and see if it's BT 2.0 or something else
see if it supports the AVRP features, and A2DP
try different music, some music plays and sound better than others
the phone comes with BT 3.0 and it's compatible with older BT 2.0 and 1.0
you should get good audio quality if all things are paired up properly with the better BT compatibility.
check what other audio features does the car support in regards to mp3, enable those as well
stream play high quality mp3 on the phone to the car at least 160 and up
128 some times have hisses
the source of the mp3 must be pure like from CD, DVD or BD
cheaply recorded or ripped audio from radio, or internet streams sounds horrible in the car

I have a Parrot MKi9000 installed in my 2008 Passat (standard Highline Gala sound system & speakers) and the music streams beautifully over Bluetooth from the SGS. It's not an audiophile's dream, but the convenience beats everything. I'm more than satisfied with the quality.

Bluetooth audio works great in my Mondeo, superb call quality. However, it only works for voice, not music. Shame...

Beginning with Froyo, there is a new method startBluetoothSco (), which can be used to send and received audio to/from a bluetooth SCO headset while the phone is not in call. Of course, it's only for mono low quality sounds (16kHz or 8kHz) but it should allow user interaction via the car kit (reading sms, guidance or voice command, for example).
If your bluetooth car kit allows A2DP, the quality can be better, but you should not have problem to output sounds on the car audio

just found the blackberry device i was talking about
here is the link for anyone who is interested in streaming media to the car over bluetooth.

ok so this is what I need to use insted of connecting SGS over AUX port?

apparently ya...
only thing queer about it is that you have to power it using a usb.
but ya should be as simple as hooking that up to your aux jack... and pairing with your SGS...
im gonna grab one soon ill bump this when i get it.

There are also apps for this in the Market.
Super BT Mono trial version for Eclair (2.1)!

I think you are missing the point, the suggestion is well taken for whom ever though of using a mono headset to fake a stereo BT stream
but you do know we are talking about Streaming BT Stereo to a CAR audio system
streaming MONO will defeat the whole purpose of Streaming STEREO to the car audio system
right?

[Q] Multiple Bluetooth Devices

Hi,
So I have a bluetooth headset and all is well with that. What I was hoping to do is pick up a bluetooth FM transmitter like this one:
http://www.banggood.com/Wireless-Bl..._campaign=newsletter-emarsys&utm_content=vera
So is it possible to have a phone call to my ear and music via the FM transmitter at the same time? Bluetooth phone + 3.5mm music doesn't seem to work, so maybe BT+BT will. I have done all sorts of magyver audio setups in the car over the years and I am at the point where I want only a single device and no wires (other than charger); as of now I have been unable to find a way to be on the phone and have music going at the same time on one device. I have an ipod but it's interface is really janky and dangerous to operate behind the wheel. Plus my phone can download music on the fly.
Anyway, the internet yielded poor results, so here I am asking.

So I found a roadblock
So I tried using the bluetooth from a car that I occasionally drive. I managed to pair everything up and had both my Jawbone headset connected as well as the car. I had the music playing through the car's stereo. All good. I tried making a test call, and the music audio was routed to the earpiece as well as the call. Not sure what's wrong here. I have in the profiles the Jawbone set to call only and the car set to media only. Not sure if it's a glitch or just pilot error.
I don't drive this car often, the one I drive like 50+ hrs a week has no bluetooth, hence why I want to buy the adapter. Not sure if there will be any point if this is going to be the result. This is exactly what happens when I try to use BT + 3.5 mm as an audio solution. Maybe multiple sound destinations is too much to ask?

I think what you will need to do is find a device that does both rather than trying to juggle two devices.
Car bluetooth will play audio then pause for calls, etc, but I do not know how different devices would interact with each other to have them pause while the other is at work...
My experience with FM transmitters has been poor. The sound quality is greatly diminished, and you get interference.
I would just go to crutchfield and get a new stereo for the car you spend most of your time in.

So I tried using the bluetooth from a car that I occasionally drive. I managed to pair everything up and had both my Jawbone headset connected as well as the car.

When your paired and connected have you tried going into Bluetooth settings and clicking the device.. I know there's usually and option for audio and one for phone audio.. Turn off phone audio for the car radio so it should only play music.. And turn off audio for the jawbone and just leave phone audio checked..
I haven't messed with it yet.. I did do on my atrix hd on a trip so we had music and nobody had to listen to my phone calls.. Not sure if the option is definitely there since I haven't done it on this phone but I would think it is
Edit: screenshot was taken on my s4 so if you set it up the way I described earlier you should have music from your radio/transmitter and phone calls only to your headset

I have played exactly with these settings and I have the earpiece to phone only and car set to media only but when the call comes in, the car stops playing music and the music goes to the earpiece with the call which is annoying. I would like to be able to be on the phone and have the music keep playing, as if the car was playing from a cd. I am thinking maybe it is not possible to have two outputs active simultaneously.

I drive a taxi so i want to keep my calls off the radio. I mute myself and interact with my customers, play them music, etc. When the customer leaves i turn the music down and return to the call. Again, I think these phones might not be capable of making sound in different ways at the same time. BT + 3.5 jack yields the same issue with the music routing to the headset on a call...

Hmm.. I know I had my other phone do what I described.. It did however stop playing music on the radio while I was on a call.. Then resumed when I hung up.. I'll have to try it tonight when I leave work and see.. But you definitely may be right..

That would be appreciated. Pausing playback would be preferable to having the music drown out the convo in the earpiece. If I were rich I'd keep my old phone for music, but such is life. I use poweramp so maybe that has something to do with it. I also tried an app called soundabout but it doesn't seem to do what I want. I posted on their forum but no response yet.
