Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970 and Wizard friends or foes?

Hi
I´m thinking of buying the Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970 bluethooth headset for my qtek9100 (Wizard) and I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this headset.
The things I want from it is:
1. play music of course, I use Mortplayer or PocketMusic for my music now but i can change if none of those work.
2. Change tracks and see the song playing in the dispaly
3. Recive calls and see who is calling in the display.
4. Watch video and get auido in headset, use TCMP here but again I can change if neccesary.
I know that the headset supports both A2DP and AVRCP but I would like to know if anyone tested this with the wizard. The headset is pretty pricey (about 900 SEK or 94 euro here in Sweden) so I want to make sure its all it says it is and that it works.
My other option is the RClip35 from itech which seems pretty sweet aswell, anyone tried that one?
Thanks

I've got one, using it with my Qtek 9100 with the "Mr Clean" ROM and it works great. Sound quality is excellent, the ear buds appear to be the same as Sony's high end ones (which I'm using with my iPod) and the head set build quality is high.
I can definitely recommend it for the 9100.

Ugh, forgot to say that it does not have caller ID. The remote control function works with WMP but not with TCPMP. Those are the only media players I've tested.

Is that so? I just checked at a reseller and saw this (translated from swedish)
Bluetooth Stereo Headset with display that has support for Caller ID and also see what song is played.
Bluetooth version 2.O with A2DP protokoll (Stream sound in Stereo) and Digital Signal Protokoll) which means improved sound quality.
So I´m pussled..true or false?
Also, looking at pictures of this one, from what I can see it has many wires, only difference to the one that comes in the package with the Qtek9100 is the wire to the phone of corse, don´t you find this a bit annoying?
Thinking of buying one myself and I have today a HBH-610 that can´t do A2DP sadly BUT it´s just one thingy on the ear and that´s it...oh well guess I have to scarifice that if I wan´t A2DP which I do...

Argh. It DOES do Caller ID. The display is so tiny that I guess I assumed it would not display the caller ID.
Makes this headset even better!

Thanks for the replys guys, I think now I will go ahead and buy one when I get enough cash.
One additional question: Does it have a ring speaker och vibrate function?
I'm thinking of a scenario when you have the phone in a pocket or bag and have the clip on your shirt but the earbuds not in your ears and the phone rings, is it possible to hear it or do you have to have the buds pluged in?
Here's a link to the headset and the lowest prices (for Sweden)

It does not vibrate but it plays the ring tone - and it's audible when just hanging around the neck unless the environment is really noisy.
The phone rings too, of course.

I´ll buy this one also soon, thx for the recommendations/explanations.

I bought one of these last week and agree that the sound quality is excellent. I expected some background Bluetooth-style hiss but I can't hear any.
£70 may be a bit steep, but I think they are worth it.
For me, I always dock my Wizard in a cradle at work, which blocks the phono jack. So these fix that problem. Now I can also carry my Wizard wherever on my person I choose and not have to worry about wires.
And the real benefit is, when docked, I use Raspberry Software's True Connect, so I can control my Wizard with my mouse (excellent software), so even without A2DRP (something like that) I can still change my music at my desk.
The actual bluetooth part is really light and you don't knotice it round your next, most people probably think it's just an MP3 player, albeit a small one.
Highly recommended by me.

Hi Guys,
got this tiny little toy too, sound is good, but some questions are still unanswered:
Songs aren´t display in the sceen of the Sony remote control, any chance to get this thing to work?
I would love it to use an other Player than this f*cking MediaPlayer, but with other Player the Buttons won´t work.....
Any idea?

What about the range?
Hi all,
What are your experiences with respect to the range of this headset, when used in combination with the Wizard? I'm fairly disappointed in that area: As soon as I move the wizard from the 'line of sight' of the headset, the audio feed breaks up. This means that I won't be able to stash my phone in my backpack for example.
regards,
dafit

@Dafit:
I only keep it in my jeans front pocket, or my Suit Jacket inner pocket, so no problems there. However I have noticed it doesn't seem to cope well if it's not in line of sight. I held my Qizard behind my back and it cut out.
So that's one downside. Quite big if you want to keep it in your bag...
@Whumpscut:
Agreed with the songs suggestion, would be nice. As for other Media Players. Have heard mention that TCPMP might allow control via the Bluetooth, but I've tried it and it wouldn't work.
There's also an update coming out sometime soon from Conduit the makers of Pocket Player that will do this. See their forum for details.

Hi Nooner,
I just got my headset this morning and been testing it for a while. I notice that music playback after a call doesn't work even though the music is still playing but just no sound is coming from the headset. Just wonder whether have you experience this problem b4. I am having a O2 wizard with the lastest rom. Thanks

I don't have that problem, as nobody ever rings me :lol:
I have heard this as a problem. But joking aside, I've only had my headphones for about 5 days and usually only listen at work or to and from work (via the tube/underground), which is when I don't really receive calls.
But I've heard this reported. Don't know if it's the headphones or a problem with A2DP.

Thanks for the reply. I will try and search the forum and see. Will report back if I found anything.

In this user review he mentions the same problem http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?p=7463154#post7463154 Maybe its because of the A2DP patch but I dont have the problem with a Nokia HS-12W or Itech Clip S.

Yes is exactly the same problem. But seems like no one has a solution for it so far.

Hi efjay,
Just wonder what do you think about the nokia hs12w. Do you have any problem with it at all or it just works fine with the phone. Cause I am thinking of returning the sony n get something else.

I just ordered mine. Will be here on Monday :lol:
Can't wait.
[edit]
Damn it. They just called and said it's on "national backorder"
Must find one....

I myself think its good, solid build, large display, clear sound and the radio is an added bonus.

Trinity A2DP problems - Temporary solution

Well, I was unsure if I should post this under one of the old posts, but I decided to start it as a new clean post...
Many are having problem with "hissing" noise, joint-stereo and low bitrate(or bitpool). For my sake, I've tried "fit4cat - Hermes Tweaker", "Sleuth255 A2DP fix" and several other methods, but without beeing able to get the soundquality I want from my headset.
Now, this is what worked for me after tweaking around with the registry a while, and endless pairing sessions
Download a registry editor(I use PHM, http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/RegEdit/ <- Download the PocketPC 2002/2003 ARM/PXA)
1: Turn off bluethooth on the Trinity
2: Unpair the Trinity with the headset(Delete the headset from the list!)
3: Change the following registry settings:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2 DP\Settings
MaxSupportedBitPool=80
MinSupportedBitPool=40 (or more if you want)
(if these arn't there, add them!)
And DELETE:
UseJointStereo = 0/1 (depending on whatever you have put there before)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev]
Priority256=149
(let the rest be as it is)
4: Reboot
5: Now, DO NOT use the headset for direct pairing!(since you've already added your phone to the headset, pressing a button on it will useually pair it back with the Trinity) <- This seems to be the function that triggers the sound-problem...
Instead, set the headset in visible mode, and use the trinity to pair(search for new devices), when you find the headset and pair it, you will hear the pairing-sound from the trinity-speaker, and NOT the headset.
Now you can enjoy high quality stereo sound without any disturbance
But, the problem comes when you turn off your Trinity, or the headset. If you try to connect the headset and the phone by using the connectbutton/playbutton on the headset, it will pair, but this time you will hear the pairing sound in the headset, and then you have all your problems back... So then you have to turn of bluethooth, delete the headset from the trinity, and add it back once again by turing the headset in visible mode again.
So the solution to this, is to go to the device list on the trinity after you have lost connection with the headset(this is if you have turned of the trinity or the headset), and hold the stylus on it and choose "Use as wirelss stereo" and "use as handsfree"...
Thanks to all of you guys here who have posted solutions to the A2DP problems And if anyone have suggestions to other values that are better fit then the onces I've supplied, share them with us
And if all of this have been posted in another thread that I've missed out, the moderators are free to delete this one

Good grief, I can only imagine how many times you had to pair the headset before you noticed what was going on LOL, hope you didn't turn blue in the face
I imagine a ROM update could fix this problem.

Hehe! The thing that made me going was that I was able to get perfect sound once or twice, and since I made it work those few times I just had to find out what I actually did that made this work (And paying 175$ for the headset also keept me fueled for a while ) hehe!
I think I've used about 5-6 hours total these two days sitting pairing, adjusting settings, rebooting(ARGH!), untill I found out that the problem actually occurs when you use the headset to pair instead of the trinity

I don't understand what is it with bluetooth stereo:
quality is not good enough to listen to music 64 kbps... no bass, no medium, nothing just a hiss.
and plus you get 80% cpu (with a 400Mhz...), just to encode this crappy 64 kbps.
Yes exactly for all people having so many skipping problems check your cpu with taskmgr.
So you cannot play video with A2DP unless you have 1Ghz!!! good for battery life.
If you like music you want good earbuds. There's none with A2DP.
So what's the point again apart from having to charge one more device?

1: Well, I'm not sure on the bluetooth 2.0 specs, so If there is a spec limit on 64kbps, then this is new to me.
2: And the skippingproblem is not just connected to the CPU-usage.. But if you have some info on this issue, then please; do share it with us.
3: A2DP headset with minijack is available many places, even HTC has one. And if you take a look at DS970, you will see that it's the same as Sony MDR-series.
4: And well, the CPU usage is a issue, but that is the only part that I agree with you on..(but let us be frank, I've bought a pair of A2DP headset, so I do smell a bit "conflict of interests" here...)
And to the bottom line, I've bought the Trinity because it's one hell of a gadget, and so is bluetooth stereo So if anyone want to shoot me for that, well hell yeah, go ahead
Edit: And FYI meroupow: I do feel you are a bit rude in the way you wrote that response, or at least a bit arrogant when you post a comment like that. Trying to mock people who have bought A2DP headsets and are tweaking and fixing issues to make them work correct(this also goes for GPS on the phone, black coating comming off, improving camera quality, getting the ATI ImageOn to work correctly... etc) . And I must honestly say that yes, you do have some points there, but you should be able to present your views in a much more polite way...

Sound better but discontinuou. Impossible ear music. The sound goes on and off continuously. Why?. How can I do?

I am sorry if you felt I was being rude.
That was not my point and It was probably the wrong place to say what I said.
It is just that just like you I bought this A2DP stuff with my Wizard.
Just like you I tweaked it as much as I could and managed to get it work.
The problem is when it comes to sound quality is important and just working is not enough.
When you show your happiness because it's finally working, people think you are happy because it's good and they are buying it. And get disappointed too.
I just wanted to warn people on the fact that it's not working to watch movies because of cpu and that a 5$ earbud will have far superior sound quality.
It's just a toy and by no way a mature technology.

I've got a CB2530, hard to pair and I still don't know what do I do for the pairing to be successful, but I do manage to pair it after a few attempts, on the registry I just disable jointstereo, set the MaxSupportedBitPool to 320 and the quality is quite nice and with minimal skipping. High cpu usage of course, but if I set the MaxSupportedBitPool to 80 the quality is quite crappy and the device gets equally sluggish(gets worse when you touch on the screen, as K-Rally does even with the new ROM).
As for the pairing, I still haven't confirmed, but I think the registry setting that enables the bluesnarf option on BTCrawler has something to do with it(the bluetooth ISC mode thing), because right after setting it I managed to pair the headset right away, the thing is, I was also successful in other occasions when I hadn't set that reg. option.
Hearing the pairing sound from the trinity or headset doesn't indicate anything on my case, and I think I've already tried these reg settings you mention, but I'll try them again as soon as I get home to see if there's any difference and post the results.

Install the Widcomm BT stack. With that, you won't have complaints - neither have I.

Does anyone know what is changed when you DO pair with the button on the headphones? With some models, you MUST do it because, otherwise, the music will be muted after about a second (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=282008 for more info).
I've searched around in the Registry for changes, without any success. It's possible we could directly edit the headphone connection-dependent parameters set AFTER the headphone's initiating the connection to avoid sound problems. If we knew where they're stored, that is.

BTW: is it the profile and software on the phones/PDAs that arn't handling it, or is it the standard itself that sucks? (or in other words, should I keep my headset for later usage or return it to the store)

I use Plantronics 590a and the skipping problem appears very rarely, mainly when I use volume/track buttons on headset. However, yesterday I also connected the headset to a normal stereo (via the 3.5mm adapter) and noticed the same occasional skipping. So in my opinion the skipping issue problem might be from headset, not Trinity.
I also tried a Nokia stereo bluetooth headset and noticed serious skipping problems - unusable.
PS: there is indeed a skipping problem if I open/close other applications while listening to music. It looks like the processor is very busy - system very slow etc.
PPS: any suggestions for a player that has equalizer? WMP doesn't and the sound is not that great (especially when compared to my old SE P900 which had an excellent player - best I've heard so far... )

I've never managed to do it sucessfully with my Prophet (witch had the same A2DP sound quality problem as it come with taht Fu***g, crappy, buggy, foot-coded MS BT stack)

Stereo BT experience is very positive
Hi all,
As always, someone has to have a different view of the issue. I got my trinity a couple of weeks ago and went and bought a Plantronics Pulsar 280 stereo headset. Mostly because of the stereo jack. I have not updated trinity nor have I applied any fixes, just paired right out of the box, as always from trinity BT manager. It really sounds great, particularlly the base is fantastic because of the earbud design. Even you may choose the actual headset of your dreams by using the standard 2.5mm jack. I have owned a "no brand" headset (still do) but it is not BT 2.0 and I think it makes a difference. The plantronics does not skip and it sounds great. Most of my MP3 is 128k and above so no limits with that. I have not checked my registry settings as they are default rom image set. I am using ROM 1.15.412.2 and Radio 1.20.00.11 (my trinity only speaks spanish for now, hope to change that soon).
Point being that the software and quality of the headphones makes all the difference, don't be so quick to blame trinity, just a piece of my mind. Keep it up guys!!!

I did the modification and sound is stereo... but quality is really poor, as if sounds comes out at 22khz and not 44khz .... Is use I-tech R35 or S38 which are working almost good wiyh HP6515 ....
Does someone have any idea what happens

Add some more:
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Bluetooth/A2DP/Settings/BitPool - from 30 change to 48
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Bluetooth/A2DP/Settings/MaxSupportedBitPool - from 30 change to 58

Thank you, .... sound is much better now .... just now, I am missing the naviplay where the trebles where much better than with itech R35 or S38, I have at the moment....

thanks...it's more stereo now but now i'm experiencing"hissing"sound which never
before. can i adjust it to any other value? is there any combination i should follow?
thanks..

I found that "hissing" is dependant on the headset used.
My plantronics have almost no hiss, while my cheap i-tech things have lots.
Anybody else have the option to compare different headsets?

I use Samsung H200 for Handsfree - it has a sligt his when it initially connects which disappears as soon as the call is connected.

My Plantronics 590 headset has no hiss and sound absolutely clear and crisp.

Maybe the right placeereo head set and I paired it with my 7500 as a stereo head set

And your problem is?

Oooooooops...
I didn't realize the whole message was missing,it is like when the celular line fails and you keep on talking...
Well so I have this magnificient Motorola headset S9 and I sucessfully paired it as a Hanfree and a Stereo headset
Everything is working perfect,except the fact that when I activate the voice tag (which usually with oter BT headset works perfectly) I cannot hear the beep telling me to say the voice tag and also I cant hear the confirmation (that the PDA understood what I said)
The voice tag DO work and if I am lucky it dials what I say but I can know only when someone pickup from the other side ....
when i dis-pair the stereo headset,it is working again.
I know it is not the most horrible problem reported in this forum,but if anyone can help....

How to play music via bluetooth device
I've got a set of Harman/kardon Soundstick II speakers and i wan't to play music wirelessly from my laptop (HP Pavilion dv6000 series) onto it i.e I don't wanna plug the speakers directly into the laptop.
I bought the Sony HWSBTA2W Bluetooth Transmitter/Receiver and have managed to connect/link it to my laptop. The problem is however, how do you get a music program such as Windows Media Player to play music via the Sony device. I have managed to play music from my Nokia 6600 phone through the device successfully but am unable to play music from my laptop.The Sony device appears as a bluetooth headset in my list of bluetooth devices, but does not appear as a speaker on my laptop.
And oh yes, my laptop is wireless and bluetooth enabled.
Or Is there another wireless dongle or bluetooth item of some kind that i can plug my speakers into and will stream the music down from my laptop.

Best Stereo Headset for Kaiser

Anyone used any BT A2DP headsets with Kaiser that run without any skipping and such? If so please give make and model. Likewise anyone with ones that are not very good with Kaiser please notate here as well. Am looking to buy some but want to ensure they are compatible.
Thanks,
endertaker

i would like the answer to this also...

my nokia hs-12W works w/o skipping

The Jabra 620s
i think the Jabra 620s is the best i know it is big but the standby and batteri time is a big + after updating the firmware it even better no need for any tweaks, even if you want to use microsofts voice command to make call og starting any apps

I have no problems with my Plantronics 590a.

can yo use next-track buttons from jabra with any software?

sound quality on my motorola ht820's is great and ive been listening to some really long mp3's on it too (~30mins) with no skipping or anything - only thing that really narks me is that i cant get the damn things to work if i turn wifi on on my handset - ASDF!!"!!! (i even sent my unit back because i thought this was a hardware fault - turns out its just bluetooth not playing nicely with wifi - im still skeptical)

The Jabra 620s
it works with Audio manager and Media player

Hi,
do you tried also a buttom to call with voice command application or a phone call ?
I've a HTC S100 and the sound is well but it's very difficult to start a voice commande or to recall last call because seem that the function "hand free" sometime is lose.
Sorry for my poor English !

Motorola S9
I love the Motorola s9
small in your ears, long battery life,
and it pairs with two devices at the same time, for ex. your phone and your iPod..( i use the BT adapter for ipod from iMuffs MA110)
mini usb charger..
the only think i don't like is the the phone plays only on the left (not stereo)

Two questions!....
. The volume keys in the jabra... do they modify the volume of the kaiser?, or only internal one?
. Can you use the kaiser charger for this headset?, is it miniUsb standar?
Thanks!

My vote is for the Lubix UBHS-NC1, no skipping, full controls on headset (even fast forward and rewing) and looks cool (hangs around your neck when not in use.

My HP iPAQ bluetooth headset works fine as well.

QFT, Motorola S9 has performed well, all button functions seem to work properly & works & sounds great for playing audio off a micro SD. Just make sure the volume is up on the device to avoid background static from too low input volume.

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.

I also have had no problems using the HBH-DS980 except that I too can't get it to stay in 'standby mode'.
I started a thread on this exact same issue, but have had no joy up until now.

Any help or pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

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.
