Hi All,
I am new to the forum. I have owned a PDA phone for about a month, a Verizon (HTC/Apache/UT Starcomm/Audiovox) XV6700. It was rebadged so many times, I have no idea who really made it.
I read about A2DP Bluetooth technology. I also read reviews of several headsets before purchasing the Motorola HT820 headset.
I loaded up a two-gigabyte mini-SD card with mp3 files, popped it in, paired the headset to the phone and engaged Windows Media Player.
Unfortunately, the sound quality is horrible. It sounds as if I am listening to music played over the phone, as if I am on hold with some customer service call center. I know the headphones are capable of much more because they come with a stereo mini-plug cable. When I plug them into the audio output on my laptop, the headphones come alive with decent sound quality.
I did not modify my registry or add .cab or .dll files. When I paired the headset with the XV 6700, I just checked the "hands free," "wireless stereo," and "headset" options.
Am I missing something or is this the sound quality I can expect from this technology?

Make sure you have the new ROM update for the Verizon VX, and install the Tornado cabs and dll files.
A2dp on xv6700
I have updated my rom, made the Tornado changes, made other reg changes as described in this and related forums - all to no avail. Stereo Sound is constantly clipping. Phone sound is ok.
What else can I try
Feel free to email me direct.
You may want to try another player, like pocket player. Or try another BT stereo headset. If that dosn't work you may want to try getting your device swapped out with a new one. I can't get it to work on my PPC6700, but am waiting for a fix of the EVDO/ring through problem with newer units before I try to swap mine out.
xv6700 a2DP lag
I have already tried the pocket player - no difference. I am also on my second headphone set (albeit from the same vendor).
Unfortunately Verizon will not swap out because an unsupported feature does not work. At least that is what they told me.
Don't worry you are not the only one that can't get it to work.
The bluetooth on the 6700 is not very good, so YMMV when it comes to A2DP. It is a unsupported feature, you may need to convince them the BT is bad, but don't mention the A2DP.
I am waiting for a fix of the EV-DO ring through problem on the shipped PPC6700 with the new ROM before I have Sprint look at mine.
XV6700 A2DP lag problem.
Unfortunately without A2DP "enabled", the bluetooth connection seems to work just fine.
BTW: What is the EV-DO ring through problem?

It dosn't apply to Verizon VX6700, just the Sprint PPC6700.
Low sound quality with 6700 and Moto HT820 headset / A2DP
I am new to posting, be kind please. I have spent a lot of time and research on this problem and I am having some luck and some other problems that there may be some great info on. I do have the latest firmware from UTStarcom (Verizon model) which has AKU 2.0 update. I did install the tornado A2DP I found here and it did not work at first until I found the additional Tor_A2DP_cert.cab file and installed it. It works and seems to be stable, including headset operations. The only problem is sound quality. There is a ringing like high pitched digital noise, my experience in electronics would have me thinking of a bandwidth limitation, or timing issue that would be a result of process priority or something, just guessing! I have the Plantronics 590a stereo headset that sounds great when using the BT with my laptop, so I beleive it is with the phone. The big question, has anyone tried changing the registry settings concerning bluetooth? I see some entries here: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\BTAGSVC and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\BTHIDSVC don't know what they are or what they would do, not brave enough to change them.

I have two BT Stereo headset, 2 different A2DP devices, BT laptop, and a BT dongle and get different results with different combinations.
- Southwing SA505 Bluetooth Stereo Headset (works great with everything, questionable manufacture quality, broke after 3 months of use)
- Moto HT820 Bluetooth Stereo Headset (good quality, but BT functions & sound is problematic)
- Cing 8125 (running Faria Crossbow WM6)
- LG enV VX9900 (vanilla os)
I believe it is just a simple case of both Bluetooth software of your device and headset not getting along together.
The SA505 works perfectly and sound quality is awesome with all A2DP & BT remote devices (including both devices, BT laptop, and a cheap generic usb BT dongle installed on my desktop)
The Motorola HT820 on the other hand is quirky...
Paired to the 8125 - when listening to music, sound breaks briefly (for 0.5 - 1.5 secs) randomly every 30-60 secs. Everything else is fine including sound quality.
Paired to the vx9900 - it unpairs when getting a incoming call & I have to manually pair it back up. Everything else works fine including outgoing calls. Good sound.
Paired to laptop or BT dongle - works perfectly.
in short the only thing that could be done is on the handset side by changing the BT stack or rom.
hope this helps.
Just try MSI Blue Player, this is the only PLAYER which post a high quality sound to my bluetooth ear piece.
VX6700 and Bluetooth
Just as a friendly note, I had the Verizon VX6700 until last week. I had tried numerous bluetooth headsets with it and all seemed sub-par or totally unacceptable. The last one I tried was the Southwing SA505 and was, to say the least, displeased with the sound quality. I shelved all my bluetooth headphones and continued using the Motorola H700 earpiece for phone use only even though it was hard to hear in noisy environments, but was the lesser of all evils. Last week, I was available for upgrade from Verizon and got the LG Chocolate, took it home and put some music on it and used the plug in style headphones for the first day. After getting sore ears from the round-stuff-them-in-your-ear-hole type headphones, I decided to try the Bluetooth headphones again for the mere humor of having spent over $200 on the lot of them. The Southwing SA505 sounded phenomenal on the Chocolate. I then tried talking to my wife driving down the road with the windows rolled down and going 65 MPH, which had always been a problem before. She actually sounded like she was right next to me in crystal clear stereo (which if you have been married 21 years as I have, then you understand what a scary thought that is). I don't think the problem you are having is the headset but rather the phone and unfortunately I have no answer how to fix it, but hopefully have steered you in the right direction of where the problem lies. Good luck to you.
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!
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?
Hi! This issue has plagued me ever since i am using windows mobile. I own a TOUCH HD (though i think this issue is also with other windows mobiles) and a A2DP Stereo bluetooth headset from Sony.
http://images.google.nl/imgres?imgu...ox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&sa=N&um=1
Now here's the problem. When I pair the phone with the Headset, it pairs the 2 services HANDSFREE & WIRELESS STEREO. Then i can listen to music via the headset.
When i turn the headset off and then back on again, it switches on the HANDSFREE ONLY !! And i have to go thru the following process to turn on the WIRELESS STEREO again:
1. on phone, click on Bluetooth Devices
2. select the headset device to view the 2 services (handsfree and wirless stereo). Both are selected. Deselect the Wireless Stereo service.
3. SAVE
4. on phone, click on Bluetooth Devices
5. select the headset device to view the 2 services (handsfree and wirless stereo). Re-select the Wireless Stereo service.
6. SAVE
Then it works again and i can listen to my music again.
Its a very annoying process and I wish someone could help me to explain if there is a faster way? Does everyone also have to go thru this process or am i doing something wrong?
Does there exist a program that can automate this process or any other solution?
looking forward to replies!
there are more than one small app to make it easy.i found one that works on my HD. uploaded for you here:

thanks a lot! It actually works! cant imagine why microsoft creates an OS without this built in as standard !
thanks.

Just for you interest - this does NOT make A2DP work.

Here is the source.
I got it downloaded, and here is the developers web site

(sorry all, could not find an edit for my last post)
Pair your stereo headset and select the Heaset and Wireless Stereo profiles, this will work from start.
Next time you turn on your stereo headset it will only connect as standard headset (ie mono for phone calls)....
Just press the play/pause button on your headset and it will auto connect to A2DP stereo also.
Simple EH?
Tried that!
I have tried that, and do it on my laptop (another set and stereo profile only), it may be dependent on the headset you are using.
The Triangle Powers BT Stereo is mono output only, and made the audio quality poor on my HD. http://trianglepowers.com/PPC/ViewApp.aspx?ID=52
I installed teksoft A2DP Toggle 1.1 this morning http://teksoftco.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1885 and added it to the program button in TouchFlo, not the today screen. it seems to work fine if you press the button twice, better than 7 clicks. (My HD info in the signature, Telstra TouchFlo replaced by Standard HD)

If pushing the Play/Pause does not connect a previously paired BT Stereo Headset to your HD then it is not a true A2DP profile headset.
See if you can get your hands on a pair of folding Sony DR-BT22 headphones.
True A2DP with built in mike to answer incoming calls. Bass is very good and full funtion with the HD.
Highly recommended.

Agree
You guys are correct, the smaller headsets that try to share the Play/Answer/end button are probably the issue.
I have been using A2Dp Toggle 1.1 as mentioned and link above and it works great, no loss of sound noticed.
We should start an XDA (not just HTC) WiKi to list headsets that connect or not for WM5 and WM6.
HD Compatible Headphone
I have a Sony DR-BT50 headphone that works beautifully. The sound is brilliant for Music and particuarly movies that I have transferred from DVD to the HD with MP4HT4HD!
I never thought that i would watch a movie on a screen so small but the clarity is something else and the high audio signal with the bluetooth headphones make it a pleasure! Great for long layovers at airports etc.
Any in-ear types that work?
All the sets that I have seen posted as working are the full headphone (over ear) types, and this may again be a shared button thing.
Does anyone have / know of an in-ear / earbud type that works / connects correctly
A2DP Toggle 1.1
I dowmloade that A2DP Toggle 1.1 on my phone. I use HTC TYTN1 running Windows Mobile 6 Professional and this software gives hell to say the least.
When I connect it to my headset, it works fine BUT it does not pay MP3s on my headset. It keeps on saying ERR on the icon of the head speakers (the second icon form bluetooth icon). I even asked most of the technician but no one knows anythings. If anyone knows what my probles is, please rescue me!!!
I might be doing something, please help me guys
Toggle works for me!
I had the same problem, the triangle powers prog didn't work for me. In fact the headset icon was on but no playback.
The toggle 1.1 works, none of the funcitons described on it's website are available, setup and various icons are from the home page but HTC Touch HD home page doesn't support that.
Never the less, putting Toggle in my program list and using it toggles easy between phone speaker and headset. Like someone has already said, two clicks and we're in business from starting my van to getting music from my phone on the stereo. I'm happy enough with that.
I have a Pioneer stereo with Parat built in, so I get BT audio and Hands free calls. All seems to be working perfectly now. Thanks to this thread.
is it possible on the vibrant to stream music to my jawbone bt earpiece ? i used to do it on my touch pro 2. but with android im not sure ? help me out guys please
Yes, it's possible (though it may depend on what model Jawbone you have). Make sure your Jawbone is updated with H2DP and your phone should be able to recognize that the headset can be headphones as well. Check out the Jawbone website for more info.
If his jawbone is like my old one ( now use a Plantronics Pro), it didn't support Stereo (H2DP)
One of things I plan on looking into the Android source for is why someone hasn't come out with a "Mixer" app to route Media out the BT Headset profile. I'm sure there's a technical reason.
I've never seen a phone send music out to a BT headset... I don't understand why that is, it does if you use a wired headphone.
Things like podcasts should be fine in a mono headset. Even music would be better than nothing.

A2DP?
The new jawbone hero has an update that supports A2DP. Music sounds terrible through it tho, I even streamed NPR's car talk through it and it was scratchy. For some reason too, the phone prefers streaming over BT rather than through the audio jack when it's plugged in. Turned off the audio profile for the headset.
