Hi chaps,
Ive got a brand new XDA2 2 weeks ago and I bought a Bluetooth GPS receiver from these guys:
http://cgi6.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI...ex_gensales&include=0&since=-1&sort=3&rows=50
Works perfectly without patching, hotwiring or standing on my head - NICE 1!
My question is, can anyone recommend an incar bluetooth handsfree kit rather than headset that works with the xda2???
And is it true that I can run 2 bluetooth devices at the same time if I patch my xda with the now world famous bluetooth patch featured on this forum?
Thanks guys...
Darren
I am running tomtom 2 with the 2.09 gps driver and also a bluetooth headset at the same time without any patch.
ahhhhhh....
so you *can* run more than one device now *without* patching hhhmmmm.... ahhhh... cool, what model is your headset? I really want a bluetooth car kit which detects the phone and takes control when i get into the car but it'll be good to know a headset that definatly works.
Thanks man
I have a sony-ericsson hbh-200 which works ok but only for answering the phone, also it needed rebonding many times. I am now using a Skypower EZ232 ez clip which works the same but re-connects after going out of range, I am as I type, linked via activesync over bluetooth to my pc, I have internet working on the xda2, my bluetooth headset is also working and I also have tomtom2 working using gpsmart gps bluetooth receiver, so more than one device is definitely ok without any patches.
top BT Carkit: Parrot CK2000 or later
I use these fix built in BT-carkit. it makes a good word with the htcII
nice one
Thanks guys.......

Nokia CK 1-W doesn't work
I've tried the Nokia CK 1-W carkit, but this carkit doesn't work properly with the MDA II. Nokia only supports the handsfree profile and the MDA II is only supporting the headset profile.
The headset profile has got less features than the handsfree profile. I know that Sony Ericsson and Parrot supports both profiles. When you want to have supported all handsfree features by your carkit you need the handsfree profile!
Does anybody knows an update to fix this problem?
Can anyone help.
I have the HP Bluetooth Stereo Headset and I assume that I need to have the Widcomm/Broadcomm stack to use it.
I have used it with the Xda IIi and Xda 2S and it worked fine(with the appropriate patch)
I have since tried it unsuccessfully with both the Universal and the Wizard.
I know these devices are running Windows Mobile 5 and I guess this is the reason.
Is there any patch available to make the headset work
Thanks for any help
Hi there,
I think everyone WISHES they could give you an answer on that one...
Apparently, Windows Mobile 5 has the Microsoft BT stack instead of the excellent WIDCOMM stack... the MS stack does NOT include A2DP.
Apparently, there will be a patch for it from Microsoft by the end of the year... but who knows if that's true...
By the way, there are a LOT of topics on this... try a search next time to reduce duplicate posts... thanks !

there is a hardware difference between the HTC universal and Wizard with regards to the Bluetooth stacks they have. Apparently in the Universal it is 1.2 and doesn't support Stereo (forgot the actual mode name); whilst the Wizard is (I think)Stack 2.0 - but in any case -DOES support Bt stereo - so u should be able to enable it somehow on the K-Jam. now as to how to actually achieve that.... :roll:
Stero Headset is not functionally?
Are You sure? I've buyng Motorola HT820, AND iT WORK PERFECTLY, with phone and MP10, with and without cable, with and without Bluetooth.

I have an O2 XDA Mini S (Wizard) and have just purchased a pair of Motorola HT820 Bluetooth headphones. I have paired the two; however, I only get the Hands Free service (which works) but NO Wireless Audio. I have seen a lot about A2DP Hacks to get these devices working correctly, but shouldn’t the BT headset offer a wireless stereo/high quality/A2DP profile when you pair them?
Is the ASDP Hack the only way to get Wireless Stereo?
Any help with this problem would be very much appreciated.
Thanks, Harold Clements
You have not provided enough information for anyone to help you.
Some Roms have A2DP working without any hack.
To be truthful, I know very little about what I am trying to do. All I know is that I can’t get the music side of the Motorola headset working.
As I said in my previous post: I have an O2 XDA Mini S (Wizard) and have just purchased a pair of Motorola HT820 Bluetooth headphones. The two paired but I only get the Hands Free service but NO Wireless Audio. I clicked on Motorola HT820 and then went ‘Refresh’ and up popped ‘Headset’ so I ticked that and saved. I then clicked (and held) on Motorola HT820. The options that I get are Edit – Delete – Set as Hands Free. I think I should also have ‘Set as Wireless Stereo’ but I don’t.
I have read about the ‘hacks’ (zoad2p.cab, Tornado asdp, AKU2.6) but I am a) unsure if this is a solution to my problem, and b) what a hack is and why is it needed?
I just really want to know how to fix my problem.
Thanks for your help,
Harold Clements
Would you be willing to try a cab that i made? I dont have a wizard to test on and you seem to have the perfect requirements in which i need to test. If you are willing to try this cab would you please PM me your email address???
This cab is a variation of the zoA2DP and an idle thread process (which works great on the hermes)
Also you will need A2DP to listen to wireless Bluetooth stereo... most provider roms do not have this feature, most cooked roms do..
Also, in addition to the MS BT stack, you'll want to give a try to the Widcomm BT stack. With eit has its share of problems, it delivers much superior sound quality compared to the MS BT stack and its CPU usage is less that that of the MS stack.
Thanks very much for your replies guys. The thing is I am new to this and I don’t really understand.
Correct me if I am wrong but if the Motorola HT820 Bluetooth headphones are compatible with my mobile device (as documented) then surly it should work without much hardship?

hello everyone!
i just got my first bt headset, its an anycom aris21.
the pairing with my blueangel worked like a charm, but after a day of useage, i noticed several issues i kinda dislike....
- i can not start a call (start phone) with my headset, when blueangel is not in PHONE menu! is this normal? can this be changed?
- how can i disable the phone's speaker (and mic), when using the headset? its pretty anoying to know, that the caller could be heard by bystanders...
- people seem to have problems hearing me! can i change the microfone volume of the bluetooth headset on the ba?
- how can i find out what BT stack i have?
- i have now helmi_c's WM06 installed, no changes to bluetooth made.
what recommended changes/updates/patches/... should i try for better performance?!
what to install for best results?!? is that BroadcomBT1.7 still the way to go? what cabs do I need?!
i know, that some issues have already been adressed, but things are changing so fast here, that i have problems being up to date about all issues! so forgive my ignorance and please help me!
i would be very thankful!!!

Yeh, the Blue Angel is a bit strange with some bluetooth devices.
I have the following issues with WM6 on my BA, which did not exist with 2003SE:
1) When Bluetooth is active, the device turns on by itself every minute or so. I understand that this is a hacked "feature" to prevent the bluetooth from turning itself off. This is probably the most annoying thing about WM5/WM6. Is there any fix I am not aware of?
2) When I start from scratch and pair my carkit (Parrot), everything works OK, except that BA's sound putput, i.e. for Microsoft Voice Command, is coming from the BA instead of the car kit. This is too low a volume, to be clearly understandable in a car. With my Universal (also on WM6) this does not happen.
3) After pairing my Asus GPS, nothing works. If I delete all paired devices and just pair my Asus without being in range of the car kit, it will work. If both devices are turned on (car kit and GPS Receiver), none works properly.
I don't use my BA on a regular basis anymore, because I have my Universal, which works flawless. However, I see no paint in upgrading to WM5/WM6 if one ends up with LESS functionality than the original 2003SE.
The only feature I will be missing is the fact that no RAM memory is used, which means one does not loose everything when the battery drains.
Are there any tips to solve these three problems?
The WLAN "bug" is not really a problem: even with 2003SE I had to occasionaly start and restart the WLAN for it to work properly.
Cheers,
vma
@vma:
1. Well, not at the moment; maybe if someone who can play with the dll's can fix this.
2. I use a Logitech hands-free, and i have no problems.
3. No problem here using a NoBrand BT GPS receiver and the hands-free in the same time.
Overall, my BA work much better on WM6; its just my experience.
problems i still have:
- i can not start a call (start phone) with my headset, when blueangel is not in PHONE menu! is this normal? can this be changed?
- how can i disable the phone's speaker (and mic), when using the headset? its pretty anoying to know, that the caller could be heard by bystanders...
- how can i find out what BT stack i have?
- i installed that Boradcom stack 1.7 without having any succes in getting my headset to work. with or without patch1 and htcheadset! any ideas?!?
- what excactly is that HTC HEADSET ADDON ?
please answer soon, any help is very much appreciated!!!!
thx in advance,
krz
1. Same here; i think is my hands free set limitation.
2. I get the same using the Broadcomm stack; use the MS stack.
3. Depends; if you use Broadcomm/Widcomm, you have an "about" box; if you use MS, i don't know.
4. i get it working, but with audio in hands free AND speakers; annoying.
5. don't know, try Google.

What Bluetooth Stack you use ?
First, I use the existing MS Stack on Helmi WM6. BT GPS and Handsfree couldn't run at the same time.
Second, I use Broadcomm Stack 1.71. BT GPS and BT Stereo could run at the same time, but Hands-free function didn't run at all.
Give me a light please.
your bluetooth headset
A few of your problems could be from the bluetooth headset you are using now-- such as when people can not hear you clearly. I currently have a sound id sm100 bluetooth headset and it works flawlessly....although i still can not activate voice calling from it(it activates it on my BA so i have to talk into my BA and not my headset). It could just be your headset.

Yeah, Bluetooth in BA really sux... you have to choose your bt handsfree wisely, make sure you try it on BA properly before buying it... currently I am using i clip II mini, and it is giving me the same behaviour as shazzy84's

Well I found a way to solve the BTA2DP problem. It supports stereo & is just fantastic. you can find these by the following link http://www.teksoftco.com/index.php?section=freeware & this software works too http://www.trianglepowers.com/PPC/ViewApp.aspx?ID=52 (have to register to download). I prefer Teksoft freeware as I am using it. Sometimes it takes a while after a few toggle u get it right

Hi there,
Finally I assume I found out why some people have problems with their unit using BT and others not.
Those, who use BT headsets only (not stereo) and don't use the AD2P and AVRCP Profile don't have any problems. (I can confirm this - tested it with HBH-660 and Motorola without any troubles!)
And those people who have a stereo headset like the HBH-DS980 (which I own personally) and/or do own a car radio that can receive AD2P signals to transfer Stereo sound, face with the BT disconnections while listening to music and/or during a call or just right after...
So I think SE should solve this issue quickly as it seems to be a problem in WMP 6.1 in accordance to X1 hardware with AD2P / AVRCP profile devices.
So I start a poll for anyone who could confirm this or not !
BTW: I am using the Generic AT ROM but this BUG is affected through all other ROMs too, so that shouldn't matter -
Thanks,
Freako
My kenwood headunit uses avrcp and a2dp and works fine.
There was a discussion on this issue already and it does exist w/ my AT&T Tilt (Kaiser) as well w/ all the A2DP headsets I tried (SE DS220/205/980, JVC BT-1, ClipD R Radio, Jabra (forget what model)) so far
I believed the bluetooth issue that R2A fixed is another one where BT will turn itself off if not use for a while.
The 'turn off' issue is still there with mine! I had it only after 2,3 days but then continuously turn off by itself! Now, still happening! Generic_UK R2A
Generic Swedish R2A.
No problem for Bluetooth! But when I softreset x1 via spb mobile shell panell it crashes on boot.

Yes absolutely Jackleung, you're right, the new firmware should have fixed the automatic turn off of BT only, but I belive what michaelthemage said, that it still exists after his UK firmware update so do I - today the BT icon dissapeared suddenly - so it was turned off automatically ... very curious...
Anyway, Jackleung, you say that this problem was present in earlier WM6 machines like the Kaiser? As far as I know I did not try a stereo BT headset on my previous Tytn II but you say it seems to be a bug in WM6.1 in general, right ?
Very interesting that trinode doesn't have these problems with it's Kenwood headset - maybe I give it a try if it isn't too expensive -
On the other way Persian Boy links it with the SPB Shell - I do have the standard SBP Panel that you can download from web. Maybe I should uninstall it and try again - maybe the SPB panel makes these troubles? Personally I can't imagine, but will try anyway -
So far,
Freako

The problem I am talking about is A2DP/Headset disconnected after phone call, and I have to re-connect it after that. I don't thinks it's WM6 or SPB panel issue since only HTC devices (X1, Kaiser w/ no SPB install) have this issue. My other device Asus P525 (WM6/6.1 w/ Widcomm bt stack) or Eten M600 (WM6 w/ MS BT stack) do not have this issue.
Is anyone with the Bluetooth problem running MS Voice Command? I'm still on R1A. I had no trouble at all using my Motorola T505 A2DP kit, but when I installed MSVC, the stupid thing would drop out as soon as I picked up a call. Uninstalling MSVC seems to have done the trick.

Hi, yes I have Voice Command 1.6 on my device. It's working pretty well, but I know, what you're talking about -
Please try it with a usual BT headset (without the AD2P / AVRCP profiles!) if you have this possibility, - you'll see that it will work without any hassle.
I made this experience after I tried the HBH-660 and a Motorola headset.
Anyway - the new firmware R2A is recommended, even if the BT issue isn't solved.
But interesting to know that it seems to be a bug in HTC machines... so it will exist in further firmware updates... probably... I personally don't hope so....
No problems with the Sony HBH-IS800's and the bluetooth turning off randomly.
I have a problem with the WIFI randomly turning itself on during phone calls but no problems with anything turning off.
I have HBH-DS980 and I don't have any problems with disconnecting it on my X1 - not with R2A and not with R1A UK roms, also tested few modifided roms and there woudn't any problems too. I am also using SE MBW-150 watch and it also don't disconnect's with X1 (tested with R1A and R2A). I have BT turned on in my X1 all the time (previously in R1A rom and now in R2A) and after I turn on my HBH-DS980 headsets it will connect with them automaticly. Only sometimes I have to switch off and switch on againg BT to get connected with headsets but I think its headsets problem not the phone. But I never had a problem with suddenly disconnecting (not even once).

Thank you very much ell82, but maybe I should describe more specifically - disconnections also happens after calls - for example, if you switch on your BT headset (in this case the DS-980), you see a symbol next to the BT symbol on the top of the phone, that indicates, that a BT headset is connected. Now, I figured out, that after calls this symbol dissapears and the BT headset dissconnects, so I have to push the button on the DS-980 again to get connected with the phone, you know? And when I get a call, the phone does not automatically transfer the call to the headset, I always have to push the button on it first, to be connected again...
And you also confirm that sometimes you have to switch the BT on and off again - this is absolutely the same with my phone.
You assume it is a problem with the specific headset DS-980 ? Maybe, but SE support told me that there is no firmware update or sth. similar for this type... what a pity -
Anyway I hope it is not a hardware bug of the phone - I haven't heard of any phone that was repaired or refurbished because of the Bluetooth bug.
Ok, so can we say that the HBH-DS980 will not work with X1 as it should do ?
This is very pity, because it is the top of thir line of headset products... and I liked it very much on my previous P1i and it worked perfectly on it...

This is exactly the same issue I am talking about and it's NOT specific to DS-980 alone. I tried DS-980, DS-205, DS-220, JVC BT-1, Clip-D Radio, and one Jabra model. And they all have the same issue on my X1 and Kaiser. (but not on my Asus P525 and Eten M600). The issue not happening 100% of the time but at least 80% which is enough to be frustrated.

Yes, 80% of that time is ok, but the 20% lead to be very frustrated - ABSOLUTELY !!
In a time (2009) were bluetooth does exist several years and where all bugs should have been cleared over the years..., the truth shows that there still exist "minor/major?" bugs in current phones...
BT Headset problems
I can confirm that the problems with BT and HBH-DS970 are a fact - and it seems to drain the battery enormously. I have tested for a few days the PV 710 (Mono handsfree), no issue. Today with the 970 my battery was empty after 6 hours standby, and it was disconnected allthough the icon said "BT-Stereo-Headset connected! After switching it off, the icon remained. Strange, isn´t it?
I come from P1i and there was no such problem at all.
I experience the same problem. New NL firmware and a Volkswagen (Bury OEM) Bluetooth carkit. My Nokia 6500 and SE K850i work perfectly but terminating a call makes the BT connection disappear on a fairly regular base. If the other party terminates it usually stays connected
...very strange but anyway it seems that it is mainly affected with AD2P / AVRCP devices - I hope it is just a software/firmware bug that can be fixed easily and not caused by a hardware failure....
Sorry guys but again I have to say it doesnt effect on my X1 and DS-980, never and I'm using it a lot. Have you guys tried it on fresh phone, without any additional software?

The first thing after the purchase of the phone was to couple the device with the DS-980 headset and the bluetooth issue was really not expected and made me angry and at that time I didn't have any extra software on it...
When did you buy your headset ? I bought mine approx. 1 1/2 years ago...
Maybe the current items go better with the X1?? I don't know.
But we found out that this issue was also caused in other Windows Mobile devices like the Kaiser, TyTn etc.
The poll shows significantly that there are still some who have troubles with bluetooth, even after update-
AND now we can ask them if any of you have tried the headsets with clean and fresh install ? (Xperia X1 without any additional software, even without sbp panel, etc...! )
I am curious...
