Bluetooth audio routing issues. - Mogul, XV6800 General

Hello all.
I've been having this somewhat annoying issue. I've tried a few of these bluetooth audio routers that let you use any bluetooth headset to listen to your music. I recently lost my old a2dp enabled bluetooth so I purchased a jawbone 2. The issue is that the audio routes to the jb2, but it sounds really low quality and low volume. This so far has been exactly the same with the following software: BTaudio, acbToggleBluetooth, BlueMusic, and BluetoothAudioRouter. Sucks because I just upgraded to DCD's latest rom hoping it was just an issue but wasted my time because I had to reinstall all of my cabs and have the same results lol. If anyone knows anything that could help, it would be much appreciated.
XV6800
DCD's 3.3.4 ROM
RADIO 3.42.50

I am having the same problem. Any fixes?

Nothing, I've tried every program and many bt headsets, nada.

LOL- you guys are expecting A2DP quality from the handsfree/headset profile??
It doesnt work that way. Headset profile is heavily compressed to be roughly the same quality as a phone call (since it was designed for that purpose). When bluetooth throughput was enhanced in later revisions, they created the Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP), which allows for higher fidelity sound and stereo encoding for a decent wireless music experience.
The "routing" apps just take all output from the phone's audio system, and push it out to your standard earpeice using the headset profile. There's nothing wrong with your phone or headset, what you're hearing is a limitation of the bluetooth profile. It will at best sound like on-hold music, or someone playing music for you over a phone call.
Only way to get high quality is to use the high quality A2DP profile with a compatible headset.

How do we use the A2DP Profile?
To Dishe,
My HTC Raphael supports the A2DP profile so does my headset(it works flawelessly via bluetooth on my laptop) but i can't route music to the same headset via bluetooth.
Any ideas?

Initial A2DP findings

Using the M3100 with the itech clip S35 Headset
firstly i've been using the fit4cat tweaker which has an A2DP quality improvememt tweak - unfortunately the tweak makes the quality worse so i've tuned it off and the music quality is not too bad when playing through my car stereo. However, I need to try some decent headphnes with the unit because the ones supplied sound very tinny!
Secondly, when you first pair the device, media player plays through the headset ok. If you then go out of range, when you return the headset re-pairs ok for the phone but the media player doesn't and it plays through the loudspeaker. You have to enter BT settings and recheck the stereo music option to have the sound through the headset again. Anybody getting this with the same or other headsets?
Thirdly, I have the S35 outputting through my car stereo. When people are calling me they can hear an echo (of themselves speaking as the sound comes out through the car speakers). There is some sort of delay i suppose but this is very annoying. I'm not sure why its happening because when I tried the headset using my Sony Ericsson W800i there was no such echo!
therfore, is the echo problem an A2DP thing (as the w800i does not support it and this works ok) or is it a m3100 thing? To test this I could turn off A2DP and ry the headset again - is this possible?
any suggestions appreciated
I have the Jabra BT620s headphones and I have indentical problems.
After install all works well but as soon as you disconnect media player just plays via the phone speaker
at least you guys get it to work once. WMP never plays through my iPAQ bluetooth headset. AVRCP controls work fine though. TCPMP plays fine through the bluetooth headset as long as I pair it up before I execute TCPMP. This is exactly how it worked with my 8125.
The WMP issue is very strange and is likely yet another example of the lack of QA testing in the A2DP portion of the TyTN's implementation. I would expect that these issues will all be fixed in a subsequent TyTN ROM update.
I'm getting on ok with this
quality is pretty good both using the headset with my own sony ear buds. Vast improvement over the itech supplied ear buds.
A2DP - no skipping during normal playback and it works well - quality is not an issue through the car stereo either - not bad at all . I've even been listening to music over A2DP and running sat nav using a GPS BT receiver. A slight pause in music when GPS connects but then all runs well.
My only 2 gripes are:-
1. When you disconnect or go out of range of the headset, it reconnect perfectly with the phone application. This isn't the case with the wireless stereo. I have to enter BT settings, uncheck the wireless stereo setting, save then recheck the setting before it reconnects. Slightly annoying but accesptable (for now)
2. the echo using the headset through my car stereo. People calling me can hear themselves again (about a 0.5 second delay) through the car speakers! Just to repeat my earlier post, this does not happen with my W800i. not sure if its an A2DP problem or something else.
Similarly here, I don't seem to be able to make A2DP (and the handsfree profile, for that matter) work.
Using HTC and an Itech clip, I am able to pair the "wireless stereo" and then play music for some 10 seconds on the GS Player, after which the Wireless Stereo symbol disappears from the top bar and the connection is interrupted. I actually believe that the Itech clip is 'shut off', as I have to turn it on again.
When I try to reconnect the headset, it just won't work and the whole machine is slowed down. Only a soft reset helps.
I hope this is a ROM problem (and not mine) and it'll be fixed soon...
WMP and the Itech clip work fine for me, with the current German ROM.
a2dp issues w/th Hermes
With the CHT9000 WWE rom I had the wireless stereo drop off after about 1 minute, then I would have to reconnect. I flashed to the other dopod WWE ROM (latest) and the problem is gone....sound is comparable to my prophet. Reg tweaks suggested in other forums definetely make the sound quality worse for either ROM version. I think further updated ROM's will improve A2DP reliability (or someone may find a reg hack)...as with the prophet A2DP it just takes time.
Hi guys, I've got the vario ii and the Sony Ericsson HBH-610.
I can add the headset fine and make calls through it, but I don't know how to get the music in wmp to play through it.
If anyone has a few mins spare and could explain it for me I would be really grateful
Headsets..HBH 610...
With my CHT 9000 I use an OMIZ 5660...works great for calls and wireless stereo. I don't have any other headset to compare it to (since I only have used this brand)....I believe that if your "options" do not list wireless stereo then you can't use the A2DP function on your device, at least as it is designed to be used.
I'm not aware of a one-piece headset that supports A2DP that is available (all should have either 2 headphones or two wired ear plugs)..
THE ONLY WAY, I FIND :
I have a 590A Plantronics Bluetooth HeadSet
You must refresh Services of your iTech or your Plantronics !
Go Parameters, Bluetooth, Select your Headset, Refresh.
Then reselect services and Save !
Each time you lost the link (Bluetooth turn off or ...) you will have to Refresh,reselect and Save !
I am searching for a Solve but not find another !
I forget something else !
It is the same thing with my Bluetooth GPS (GNS).
I have a spv m3100 and jabra bt620. They both work like a dream most of the time apart from having to go into bluetooth settings each time I want to connect to the stereo headset option.
I have noticed that when in my garden or at home (a quiet environment probably) that I have excellent streaming but when I am walking around, particularly in built up areas like shopping centres, high streets, tube trains, that there is some loss in the streaming which would seem to point towards some kind of interference.
Why the wireless stereo is set as mono as standard I can't understand. I'm sure its to do with improving the streaming quality, but they are supposed to be STEREO!!! Also I set the quality to 58 instead of 48 and there was a definite loss in streaming quality so I switched back to 48.
The AVRCP also works brilliantly in WMP.
The wireless connection also plays havoc with the bluetooth stereo connection with the buffering of stereo constantly dropping. Also noticed that AVRCP wont work with TCPMP, but as there seems to be some major issues with TCPMP and the Tytn I have uninstalled it for the time being until the guys at CorePacket come up with a fix

So far A2DP has worked fine for me with my Nokia HS-12W. I have applied some registry settings and optimised my SD card and so far it has played with hardly a skip. Definitely better than my previous BA with WM5.

This is the biggest problem for me with my M3100 at the moment. I'm guessing it will only be fixed by an updated\alternative ROM(?!), any ROM's out there I could try that might get round this problem??
Thanks

This is probably headset dependent because with my Nokia HS-12W if i need to reconnect i just press the Audio button and it re-establishes the A2DP connection. No going to BT settings at all.
Interesting, can you just confirm what you mean by the Audio button. Is that just hitting 'Play' in WMP?
Thanks
No, the Nokia has a Music key (not Audio, my mistake) which switches from A2DP to the built-in radio. So if i have lost the BT connection pushing the Music key to select the Audio player will re-establish the connection and music is streamed to the headset. You will see the A2DP icon on the today screen when it has connected and get the chime in the headset.
Ok, thanks for that.
Just one last point, if the connection is lost while music is streaming, does the audio switch to the phone speaker instead??
My problem is I'll be listening to music on the subway then or some reason I'll loose the connection (interferance, low battery...whatever) and immediately music starts coming out the speaker, much to my embarrassment!
Thanks again!

[Q] HD2 AD2P Performance with AD2P Headsets

I have an HD2 and a Midland BT2-D Motorcycle headset I use for hands free, AD2P MP3 playback, and AD2P GPS instructions from navigation software like TomTom or Garmin.
I used to use it with a Tilt 2 and really had no issues. With the HD2 I've had several problems.
My list of issues is as follows.
Need to be able to adjust music volume independent of voice volume.
Need to be able to disable the automatic volume increase when wind his the microphone.
Need to find a way to get call announcements working again.
Pauses in music playback, though seem to have been addressed in the current ROM.
There are other similar threads on the issue, none of which really cover it all.
Attempts to Handle Sound Quality
[APP] SRS WOWHD 1.5.1.0 updated ver.2.1 for HTC HD2
Attempts to Handle Sound Cutting Out (Seems resolved in latest OEM ROM)
Improve sound quality via BT A2DP

Anyone else using a AD2P headset outdoors running into similar issues? Found any fixes?

[Q] Bluetooth phone mono --> A2DP

Hey guys, thanks in advance. I've done some searching and haven't been able to find anything that addresses a small oversight.
So I have an A2DP audio receiver connected to the auxiliary input in my car. It works great for music, Pandora, and what not, but none of the mono-channel phone audio gets played through my car speakers. I realize it's due to the different profiles, that A2DP was designed for music and the hands-free profiles were designed for phone calls. However, I've been able to find Music --> Mono software that allows me to play music through mono-channel non-A2DP headsets.
Is there anything out there that can help me divert the mono phone audio stream through to A2DP?
Thanks.

Convert phone to A2DP profile

Is there any way to convert a phones Bluetooth A2DP profile to a
"phone" profile. The head unit in my car doesnt support A2DP, just wondering if theres a way I can play music through a phone profile via bluetooth. I''m on a Captivate, but figured this was more of an Android general inquiry. Thanks!
Possibly, but it would sound absolutely awful. The data of the phone profile is so poor in quality and is mono too.
edit:200th post.
It's possible that using an app like Mono Bluetooth (some similar name, search the Market) could allow your phone to play music as mono with your car thinking it's a phone call. As stated above it will probably not sound very good.

[Q] Bluetooth headphones without A2DP

Hi, I just bought a couple of headphones for my flashed HTC HD2.
The problem is that it does not play music. After googling it is probably due to the fact that the headset does not support A2DP. (which is stereo playback)
Now my question is if there is any fix to play music anyway, without the A2DP feature in the headset)
I mean, I can hear calls etc. in the headphones.
Thanks!
Hi!
Unfortunatly A2DP is the only way to stream music from your phone to a bluetooth headset. I Google'd a bit and maybe it's good to check the Automatic Bluetooth Toggle Pro app, because it is possible of connecting to a2dp. I think (not sure) A2DP is standard available on the HD2 because it's an older technology.
