Bluetooth stereo headset support - HD2 General

Hi All,
I used to have a Nokia N95 and it worked really well with my bluetooth stereo headset. Upgraded to an HTC HD2 and despite pairing the headset and setting to auto connect and pair as a stereo headset and handsfree it just simply does not work anywhere near as well as my old N95:
- Sound quality is poor
- Controls on the headset itself work erratically at best and not at all at worst
I'm running ROM v 1.43.110.2 and Manila v 2.5.19292525, I'm not sure if this has any impact. I can't update through the HTC website as my phone is on T-Mobile - but don't get me started on that.
Has anyone any thoughts on why the support for bluetooth stereo headsets is so poor on my phone. Is it my phone/software or possibly my settings?
Any thoughts would be very much appreciated.
Thanks

How do I listen to Mp3's from my bluetooth headset?

Dear All,
I've been searching to find a solution to this for 2 weeks now, there are some posts i have read whole forum almost, nothing seems to work.
I think it has nothing to do with what kind of bluetooth headset you have, there should be a program which should transfer audio from sound card of the Mda to the integrated phone inside this device.
Could someone describe how can we achieve this? It is very convenient to listen to audiobooks (if you think why would someone need mono listening)
I'm also willing to pay for this help.
Greetings,
Devrim
( http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=14687 )
my config: MDA (Dutch) wMobileSE 2.06 4.21.1088 with Jabra BT250
i tried to install widcomm, but it doesn't work.
Unfortunately we were the recipients of a beautiful piece of hardware that was released with a "non standard" bluetooth implementation. I have read peoples claims that this is possible, but, I am yet to experience a working solution.

Hi!
Widcomm does not support bluetooth headset at the moment although the headset can be paired with your PPC ie. no sound recieved from your headset.
One way out is to listen MP3 from your PC/laptop which is possible through your headset, however, you'll have to get thre right dongle.
As for listening MP3 from my O2 XDA II through my iPHONO bluetooth headphone I had Widcomm + the High Quality Audio Profile installed. The sound was crappy with occasional split second interruption to the sound playback.
So much so for the current bluetooth technology for listening to MP3 playback on my O2 XDA II
how did you install widcomm and deactivated ms stack?
plus, iphono thingie has no microphone, hence i'll have to have two bluetooth headsets... not convenient...
thanks,
RE
Well, if you make a search for Widcomm there're many threads on this subject.
Read all of them and you'll be able to find your answers
Even the new Broadcom stack Build 3500 for XDA IIs does not support the mp3 playback on BT headsets.
The unofficial upgrade which adds hi quality BT headset profile, I still doubt it can do it coz the Audio Gateway preference is not listed. Damn

I had install the Widcomm BT stack, it is not working. There was no sound in the bt earpiece (mine is HBH-65) although it was paired with xdaII. The worst is it mess up the function for normal phone talking. I can listern the voice from caller but they cannot listern to my voice during phone call.
the xdaII can't get back to normal until a hard reset. Would you please tell me how to get the earpiece work ?
Hi,
the unofficial upgrade is working, I just got a pair of HP headphones, it's awesome. Just be sure your headphones support A2DP, regular headsets won't do it.

Nice one Mp3's over blue tooth. Any chance of a simple walk through on how to do it and the files needed?

HP BT stereo headphones with XDAII

Does anyone tried to connect the XDAII with the new HP BT stereo heaphones with XDAII?
I have this HP device but can not install it.
Bummer..
Widcomm BT Stack on XDAII...
HP BT stereo headphones does work with XDAII (myself and few friends have been using it for a while now). You will need to install Widcomm BT stack (1.0.0.3500 or 1.5.0.2000, or the one that have High Quality Audio Profile) though.
However, you will loose Bluetooth Headset profile if you install Widcomm BT Stack. Apparently BT headset does not work with Widcomm stack on XDAII yet. I've managed to get the headset detects incoming calls, take calls, but still no sound coming out from the headset yet. Still trying...
Interesting. Will check it out and reply.
This is my experience using a HP bluetooth stereo headphone bonded with an O2 xdaII. I use Wincom 1.5 Build 2000 from "dtktvu". So far the setup has worked very well. After having used the setup for three weeks, my impression is as follows:
1. Connection with headset is very stable
2. Stereo sound is clear, quality is quite superb really.
3. So far this setup works only for music, it does not work together with bluetooth headsets (if you happen to have one). This means that you can not use your headset at all while using the headphone.
4. The only inconvenience is that if there is an incoming call during song playback, the music pauses but there is not any other audio warning. On the screen you do get a warning that there is an incoming call, though. So in my case, while I listen to music, if I hear a sudden pause then I know that there is an incoming call and act accordingly. Now, let us come to the next point....
5. You have to use Windows Media Player as the player for point 4 to happen. I am not sure how the setup will react to incoming calls with other players such as Winamp, GS Player etc..
6. Battery life is quite good. I get about 6-7 hours of playtime from the headphone.
Now, if only someone will update this Wincom Driver further so that it can work together with bluetooth headsets, then we will have the best of both worlds... Maybe donations from potential users to provide incentive to some expert out there.

Widcom on XDA II without Windows Mobile SE?
I would also like to use the HP bluetooth headset. I have a XDA II (not IIs). Will the Widdcom stack install on this? I am currently not running Windows Mobile SE.
Many thanks.

Try MS VoiceCommand - in new 1.5 version there is incoming call voice notyfication (normal ring goes at half of the sound level and voice engine reads callers ID) maybe it will go through UR headset.

HP BT stereo headphones with XDAIIi
Hi,
I've read the thread but cannot see any indication of someone using an XDA IIi and the HP BT stereo headphones. Anyone know anything about this particular combination? So far I know the software that comes with the HP BT stereo headphones will not install on the XDA. And without the BT high quality audio profile installed I cannot get past pairing the devices. Any ideas?
Thanks,
R

I have three stereo bluetooth headsets here for testing purposes:
- Logitech Wireless Bluetooth MP3 Headphones for PC (aka Hewlett Packard FA303 or Toshiba PA1831)
- Motorola HT820
- iTech Blueband
I have tested them on my Qtek 9090 (BlueAngel) and they all worked fine. There is not much diffrence in audi quality, the diffrence is more in the comfort of wearing them. Most of my collegues liked the Motorola the most but I prefer the Logitech. The iTech feels a little bit cheap...
More experience and info about stereo bluetooth headset is posted on http://www.robertwebbe.nl/A2DP.html.
Has anyone connected headphones with XDAII? i can't at all( after installing broadcom 1.5 phone cannot call correctly, i can't hear anything(
I have a iMate PDA2k EVDO & iTech BlueBAND headpones. I was able to use use the BT headset to use the phone however as the Broadcom 3500 stack didn't come with a Audio profile I couldn't hear music (mp3s via WM10). I installed Broadcom 3900 stack - can now hear stereo music but the volume on the phone is so low I can bearly hear it. Otherwise my PDA is stock standard Windows 2003 WWE etc. Any suggests? As I am a new owner, I would appreciate the help. Cheers,
Hi
I have recently received a Blue Angel from our mobile provider and it comes with the Bradcom stack 1.0.0.3900.
Does it have A2DP integrated, or I need to install anything to make it compatible? I am interested on a Motorola HT820 headset and i want to make sure it will be compatible...

Can Bluetooth v 1.1 be upgraded to v 1.2 on XDA II

Can anyone tell me if the XDA II can be upgraded regarding the version of Bluetooth ie. spec states ver 1.1 can this be upgraded to ver 1.2 which allows for the use of stereo bluetooth headsets etc.
Thanks
Mike Simmonds
i think bluetooth revision and profiles supported are 2 different things
you may want to look into bluetooth stacks insted of revisions because i think thats hardware related
I guess from this then, my original question should now be,"Can I use/upgrade my XDA II with bluetooth stereo headset (rated bluetooth v1.2)"
Thanks for the reply

Thanks for the reply
AFAIK, Bluetooth v1.2 is backward compatible with v1.1. Besides the same basic technical stuff, the 1.2 adds Advance Frequency Hopping so it can connect better in a crowded wireless radio area and faster connection between Bluetooth devices... And the v1.2 compatible Bluetooth devices can still connect until 100 metres.
So basically yes, you can use a device/headset rated Bluetooth v1.2 with your XDA.
I once tested a v1.2 Bluetooth headset from Billionton to connect with an XDA II Mini, I can still communicate with the Mini and me are roughly 80 metres apart, although the sound quality was horrendous, it's mostly because of the headset itself, not the connection fault.
Just to be sure, try pairing it first if you want to buy a v1.2 Bluetooth headset with your XDA.
Can I assume also, that I would be able to stream stereo audio via the XDA II to the stereo bluetooth headset, & would a headset mic also function?
Thanks for your reply

As far as I understand, both Himalaya and Blue Angel are equipped with Bluetooth version 1.1.
I've done some research on this, since I wanted to connect stereo headsets to my MDA III just like you apparently. The 1.2 standard is downwards compatible and apparently it will work to connect a 1.2 "stereo" headset to your device. BUT you will not be able to enjoy stereo.
Headset and device can connect, but since your device uses 1.1, it won't be able to broadcast stereo.
(I haven't tried all this, but it's what I found out during extensive research).
Apparently, Bluetooth 1.2 requires a new chip. So unfortunately it isn't that easy to upgrade from 1.1 to 1.2.
the ms bluetooth stack and also the vidcomm i believe dont support A2DP
which is required to get stereo audio to a headset
you can use this though

Bluetooth Handfree Issue

Hi Everybody,
I am using the X01HT which running with
Rom : 2.05.255.1
Radio Ver. 1.34.00.10
The problem is my friend said that my speech sound very poor (the background sound very strong )
when my phone is connected with the BT Handfree.
Just wanna know how the chase the problem is from my handfree or my phone.
furthermore, Is it possible to check my handfree is running real A2DP (Stereo sound )
my Handfree info: http://www.itechdynamic.com/en/products_spec.asp?cid=2&pid=02050
sorry for my poor english
Your english is fine

You can check A2DP by playing a song that is in stereo. Anything with an obvious sound in the right channel will do, as if A2DP is not working it will only be playing in mono.
Also, the little icon in the taksbar will show a headset with a music note inside of it if A2DP is working.
The sound problems you mention are probably due to the quality of the headset. Try it on another phone or try a different headset on your phone.
I am using the same ROM and radio and my BT works great. (AKU 3.3)
I use both the Nokia HS-12W and a HTC BHS 100.
A2DP will give true stereo in WMP10. Strange I found the Registry still set to mono, so I had to change that for stereo.
The call quality both incomming and outgoing is great with these headsets as well.
The HTC also allows you to use your favourite earphones as well.(3.5mm jack)
Hope this assists.
Thanks
Thanks all first.
Yesterday, I did some stupid test about the voice quality,
I used the recording function in Note to record my own sound near the TV in my home, and found it was not bad.
However, then I went out use the BT headset again, but my friend said, dont use it again, my sound really poor
After that, I bought a BT dongle to try to test my BT headwith in my computer, but the Dongle comes with the bad BT management Driver, called XTNDCoonect Blue Manager.
Do you all have the widcomm software and send it to me ?
I dont know it is against the policy in the forum.

Bluetooth Headset Support

I currently have the Cingular 8525 (HTC Hermes). I had to downgrade from Mobile 6 to Mobile 5 because the Bluetooth Headset profile under Mobile 6 failed to work correctly with My Nissan Sentra's Bluetooth hands free system.
Mobile 5 works perfectly while 6 does not give me any audio.
I will really appreciate it if anyone who owns a Kaiser/Tilt can share his experience with his car Built in System. I will get one in a heartbeat if this issue is confirmed to be resolved on the Kaiser.
The other cars that I know others had an issue with are from the French Citroen Peugeot and Renault
Thanks
I went the aftermarket route, installing a Sony MEX-BT5000 headunit in my car. It pairs in both handsfree & A2DP with my old Wizard & new Tytn II. BT performance is better than any headset I've ever used; no static at all.

I got the little sister of the BT5000 the MEX-BT2500 which don't have caller Id and does the same thing for 1/2 of the price.
You guys have no problems with your Kaiser and the MEX-BT5000??? I'm getting all kinds of echo, and low volume reports from people I'm talking to. I know the problem is with the Kaiser because my old RAZR works fine.
