Redirect audio to BT??? - Hero CDMA General

I know there was a trick with 1.5 roms to get audio redirected to a regular bluetooth headset. Is there a way to do this on a 2.1 Rom???

We used to be able to do something like **#*?? and press call and it would redirect ALL audio to your BT regardless of A2DP capabilites of the head set. Given audio quality wasn't the greatest, but I mean common look at the head phones they give out with an $250 iPod - Audio quality there is not important either.

Oh for pete's sake, it's that easy on 1.5? I had NO idea, and yes the hack he posted worked on gumbo 1.5c. I missed being able to do that from touch pro. I listen more to tech and food podcasts when I'm running, and I don't need stereo headset for that. THANK YOU!! and now I don't feel so bad about giving up on the 2.1 roms for good old gumbo.

Stuttering sound with Jabra Stone bluetooth headset

Hello
I just bought a Jabra Stone bluetooth headset. http://www.slashgear.com/jabra-stone-review-1960951/
However the audio stutter when making phone calls. If I watch Youtube or any other kind of audio it doesn't stutter... only when making phone calls.
Does anyone know what could be causing this??

Spending too much money? Sorry,couldn't resist that...tbh,no idea at all...I'm still using Jabra BT205's and BT250's and have no problem with them whatsoever...maybe you got a "rum un"? Can you take it back and try another one or find someone else you know who's got one that you can try to see if it's just yours thats misbehaving?

But if it works fine with other apps then it suggests that it's the phone and there's something different about bluetooth audio when using the phone application.
Incidentally tubs, nice headset!

Not too sure I follow your logic there...using other apps such as utube is a one way street (only the speakers being used) but for calls its microphone is needed as well...I know which I'd rather rule out as being dodgy and it aint the £500 phone

True, but I thought that bluetooth was bi-directional by nature, regardless of whether both directions were required. I know I may be wrong, but that's what I thought.
Actually I think during phone calls the handsfree profile is used... when listening to other audio the A2DP profile is used. Maybe that can explain the difference.

What can I say... I have a taste for gorgeous gadgets That's why I got the HD2 in the first place
And the Jabra Stone is really gorgeous... only wish I could get the sound to be gorgeous too.
Thats quite obvious from your choice of phone.. did look at the stone myself but couldn't justify the price when older models are so cheap and I still needed memory card,2 phone holders,silicon case,screen protector stuff and a leather case (still not got that yet)....Is the stone the only bluetooth headset you have available at the moment or do you have the stuttering with an older headset too?

Stone is the only headset I have. When I pair it with a Nokia N82 the sound is good.
Oh dear....of course it could still be a compatability issue with the Hd2 but unless you try either a different stone or another HD2 with your stone there's no way of telling unless anyone else reading this has a stone too....in which case feel free to chime in as I'm running out of steam here.. Hope it works out well for you Tubs

htc ear buds are rubbish !!!

can anybody recommend a decent set of earbuds with music control on them for my hd2 as the ones htc supply are utter tosh. either my earholes are way too small or the supplied ones are made for giants ears. cheers............
I use Motorola S9-HD Bluetooth headphones, amazing unbelievable sound with no wires also has SRS WOW HD Surround sound built in, the must have for all music fans
Most headphones that come with the devices are usually crap. Just like with the iPod and the HTC Touch Diamond.

I too have these - and the sound is excellent - probably the best available for bluetooth (i have tried alot)
Only problem is they are not resistant to sweat liek they say (im on 3rd pair replaced by warranty - i run or gym every week day)
so in conclusion - best sound, but bad for training

i would also add that i have a pair of ALTEC 903 bluetooth headphones and they are also very good, a little cheaper than my S9-HD and they sound nearly as good.
They are a more comfortable fit because they are not so solid (linked instead by a wire accross the back of the neck)
the 903 are a bit cheaper

So, just because your ears are too small, you call HTC's headphones rubbish?

naah seriously...those stock earphones are shyt :|

And to make matters worst....try putting on a motorbike helmet with those earphones on :|
Are there also wired remote controls with a mic. and a 3.5mm output for some earbuds?
Cause i agree: the ones from HTC are rubish, but I do have a set sennheisers (with a short cord), but no remote control or mic..

Does the remote work as well?? If they do I will buy it first thing tomorrow
I think the stock HTC ones are quite nice, definitely the best stock earphones I've owned. My only complaint is that they are too small for jogging and they keep falling out. I was looking to buy a new set but then saw the solder mod you can do with the stock earphones and I think I'll be doing that soon as I have quite a few good pairs of extra earphones lying around.

Music Lovers Upgrade you may have sitting around.

Hi there, I dont know if this will be no news to most people out there, but ppl, I just realised if you get the iphone ear phones with the mic, You can use it on the Hero for the following
- Receive Calls
- As Expected Listen to Music
- But You can actually squeeze the mic once to pause the song,
- Squeeze it 2 quick times and it will change the track
If you know of any other ways to use the earphone pls drop me a line but right now Illd go back to enjoying this two lil piece of hardware I have that make my life far much better.

As much as I hate apple, thanks for this! I'll be putting this tip to good use
I wonder what other brands are similarly compatible
I've been using my old iPhone earphones since I switched to the Pre last summer
Love them... great quality on the audio, too.
I think the factory iPod/iPhone head phones are garbage. The sound quality is horrible. I guess thats why they can afford to give them away at the moron bar.
My guess is though, if you have a set of good sony's that are iPhone compatible they would be Hero compatible as well.
actually if you double click it makes a call

Is this while playing a song, cos the whole discovery happened in less than 40 mins ago, so i didnt get to dig into how guarranteed it works.
Well I run a ic3rom 2.1 Rom(That just got release last night and is super sweet.)and mine is the Sprint Version so idk if you are on the same boat.
Maybe I'm just a music snob, but does anyone else think the Hero sounds like crap? If you don't you probably have never tried to listen to it over amplified speakers (like in the aux jack in a car). Total crappola Damn shame too, there was great potential for awesomeness.
Yeah I noticed that it doesn't sound all that great as well. espically with car speakers

I hook mine to the deck over USB. Deck handles all the decoding. Phone is just a hard drive to it.
Sounds awesome all the time.
This is great. i own the apple headphones w/ mic. Who knew?
What!?
I sold my iPhone 3Gs to get the money to buy this phone, and thought "I'll just sell the headphones because that button is useless."
Dammit...
yeah my hero sounds like sh*t in the car.
i have a pair of samsung earphones that work as playback and mic during calls, the mute button even works.
is it wierd my g1 soubded better over my car speakers, and that i had to get the usb to headphone jack adapter. ha!
I know the ones that come with the pre and the moment work as well. And yes the Hero seems to be eq'd very strange. Way to much mids and bass in the car makes things a tad muddy.

make sure you do not have the volume on the hero all the way up try turning it way down and adjusting mainly through the car stereo this should help and sound fine......

My wife connects hers through a cassette adapter to the car stereo and sound is great!
I have a 1000 watt amp and I'm blasting my hero as I ride. Sounds great to me.

are you streaming music to a HU with a DAC, or playing on some BT headphones? Seems like if you stick to the smaller speakers it sounds acceptable. That may explain the weird EQ settings, trying to overcome the poor quality earbuds most people like to use.

Car Audio

So last night my car was broken into and they trashed my alpine deck and stole my ipod. So today while shopping for a new stereo for my car I tried finding something that would work well with my HTC Hero. I was hoping for something that would bluetooth connect to my phone and access the music on my sim card. Does anyone have a suggestion on this?

I'm on a Pioneer DEX-P99RS Ipod/anything USB.
Works well for me. Just plug in USB and mount it like you do a PC. reads all the tracks and ID3 tag info for you.
Not as fancy as bluetooth, but it works. This head unit maybe a bit high for most people. This was my first Pioneer, I was always an Alpine guy until now. I will never buy another Alpine after hearing this thing.

Depends on the adapter I think. Pioneer offers 2 that will connect through Ibus. I want to say it's just Music on mine, and the other actually has a Mic you can run...I'm in it strictly for the boom and to piss off the cops
I have an "aux in" jack in the console of my car. I just use a male-to-male audio cable. Pandora comes in very handy on long car trips.
oh no. K! Don't go down that road! I'm not saying you don't need a stereo that will hit 130db, but that should be the third or forth thing you worry about! First you gotta take care of your hub caps...are they spinnin' man? ARE THEY SPINNIN?
OP, I had a pretty decent deck that did both voice and music over bluetooth...had a pretty decent little touchscreen on it, too...I'll try to remember what it was and get back to you.

I haven't tried since updating to a 2.1 ROM, but with the stock 1.5 I had lag issues running bluetooth audio to my stereo Moto headset. Mostly when using the radio at the same time, like pandora or if it decided to do a sync. I have an older Pioneer with a 3.5mm headphone hooked up, works amazing for me. Would be interested in finding out if the bluetooth works flawless.
Thinking of getting this one it says it does bluetooth audio streaming
http://signature.crutchfield.com/s_113KDCX994/Kenwood-Excelon-KDC-X994.html?o=v&tp=5684
radios dont support ad2p at least i have yet to find one so u cant stream audio over bluetooth but u can still do 3.5 or usb
Well right here under the General Features it says A2DP support and says yes
http://www.kenwoodusa.com/Car_Entertainment/2008_Car_Entertainment/KDC-X994
in my experience kenwood got very fuzzy at high frequencies.
im hugeee into a2dp and the BEST quality chip is sony.
so ANY sony xplod MEX-BT series are amazingg.
i used to hate sony xplod until i tried the bt audio. i have the low end one i got for like 80 bucks. it only has an aux jack and bt but you cant tell a difference in aux and bt.
(im an audiophile too)
i tried kenwood and quality was lost badly for me. Dual brand is by far the worst bt quality on earth. pioneers were ok but low fidelity with a2dp.
anyways hopes that helps.

yea i was just about to post the kenwood mybad but i have had top of the line pioneers and aplines and they never had score one for kenwood
Since I drive a jeep with out a top most of the time I bought a brand from wal-mart called "Dual". I haven't ever had much luck with cheapy stereos but this one is pretty good. It does bluetooth, usb, 3.5mm, Ipod control, hd radio. All for 140 bucks, which hurts a lot less than 500 when someone else decides they need your stereo more than you do.

Just bought this myself on eBay for $219 free shipping. Totally worth it, I was able to get rid of my AudioControl EQL equalizer because the sound quality was just that good. I'm having some issues getting 2.1 to remember the pairing, but other than that I can totally recommend the x994 on the merits.

Gotta say I picked up the dual at wally world for like 100. The bluetooth is pretty decent as far as the sound reception goes. Only gripe I have with it is when I would get a call the bluetooth wouldn't pick up but if I would call out then it would. That was before I got 2.1 on my hero. The music plays smoothly though. No connection issues at all either. Plus they are fairly cheap to be had at least if your concerned about that.
Dunno if this was suggested, but my boyfriend got the Sony MEX-BT2800 and I connect my phone to it with little issues. Audio works very nicely, as well as calls, though the built in mic can throw some people off but make sure to switch it from the default low sensitivity to high sensitivity to pick up your voice better (picks up engine noise more but no worse than talking on my BT headset). I really need to get this for my car heh.
I'm not a big sony person but thanks for the information. I'm heading out tonight to go check out and pick up a new unit. What ever I get I will come back and give an update on what I think of it and how it works with my Hero.
Thanks

A2DP still subpar in JI4 Eclair and JP3 Froyo.

In case anyone was curious, A2DP really doesnt sound any better between these builds. I'm starting to give up hope, maybe it's just my phone. The sound quality difference is night and day between my Vibrant and the myTouch 3G I have. I've tried on both my Kenwood head unit in my car and a pair of bluetooth headphones so I'm certain it's not the device I'm pairing with.
Ugh, just needed to vent, thanks.
pardon my ignorance, but i keep reading about A2DP and I finally want to find out what it is.
What is it?!?! thanks!!
A2DP is a bluetooth connection profile that supports high quality stereo audio. In the Vibrant's case however it is far from high quality. I was finally able to try another Vibrant today and it sounds just the same so now I know it's not just my phone. Some songs actually pass as decent bust most have a scratchy sound in the background and just lack overall depth. It really sounds like the bitrate is set too low on the Vibrant. Sabotage by the Bestie Boys for example has constant background noise/distortion that is not present when listening with wired headphones.
I've been digging around and swapping files around with the Korean Rom that has a supposed fix but I haven't made any progress.
One of the reasons I'd really like the Vibrant to sound better is because my Head Unit in my car supports A2DP. I have an app on my Vibrant called Tasker set to automatically fire up Pandora when a bluetooth connection is detected. So basically I can start my car and have my phone automatically start playing Pandora through my stereo, I can even advance songs with my dash controls. The audio quality can make it difficult to enjoy, My wife's myTouch3g on the other hand sounds superb on this same setup.
thanks for the response. i don't have a bluetooth set so that's probably why i haven't noticed this.
It really gets me down that my GPS, Compass, and A2DP are all broken on this phone. I'm gonna try and hold out for another month on a fix. If they released it in Korea hopefully they will release it here. Maybe I can talk Eugene or another dev to look into it
Audio quality is one of those subjective things and I really think a casual listener might not notice the problem but once you do you can't ignore it.
Strange, my BT sounds great streaming music through A2DP. I'm just on the stock Eclair build and streaming music through a Sony BT receiver, MW600. It's not an audiophile solution, but pushing music through some high-end IEMs sound perfectly fine for mobile listening. Maybe your hardware is bad?
I've tried two different Vibrant's on my car stereo and a pair of Bluetooth headphones and the results are the same. Again my wife's mytouch3g works perfect on both devices, maybe I should trade her phones . I've also tried an iPhone4 with excellent results.
Someone has actually opened a bug report with google on this very issue so I know I'm not alone in what I'm hearing:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9888
There was also an update for the Korean version of the Galaxy S that improved A2DP quality. This confirms that there is probably an issue that has not been addressed with our phones, since there have been no updates for Tmo customers.

Hi jz9833, what bluetooth device are you pairing your Vibrant with? Also what firmware, music app, file format are you using?
Have you considered going back to the stock ROM?
BT on mine is virtually identical to the headphone jack output. With Ety ER4p I can detect a little bit of digital hiss, but it's not really noticeable in a mobile environment.

Just today I tried a friends brand new out of the box Vibrant and I could still hear distortion/crackling at high frequencies. I then paired my headphones to my other friends iPhone4 just seconds after testing the new Vibrant and guess what, no distortion.
Man, I don't know what to say to you. My Vibrant sounds better out of BT than my iPod does out of its headphone jack. What BT headset are you using? For some strange reason they may just not get along. I've got a Sony MW600 and it's fantastic.

There was also an update for the Korean version of the Galaxy S that improved A2DP quality. This confirms that there is probably an issue that has not been addressed with our phones, since there have been no updates for Tmo customers.

There is no word on if this fixed it or not and according to your link this has nothing to do with Samsung.
Look, if you don't know that Samsung has acknowledged GPS by now, has already fixed the compass in the JI4 series you mentioned in this thread, you should just jump over to Android 2.2 and it's problems.. sounds like you won't be getting a fix either way according to your own links

Hi jz9833, what bluetooth device are you pairing your Vibrant with? Also what firmware, music app, file format are you using?

I am on stock vibrant, using the stock music/video app, playing mp3s, mp4s, avis, all going to my Sony MW600s.

The first link confirms that other Android devices are having the same issue. Again my wife's myTouch3G doesn't suffer from the problem so I think it could be a simple bit rate setting that some manufacturers are overlooking.
The second link confirms that there is an A2DP problem on the Samsung Galaxy S and a fix exists.

No it doesn't. You don't know if the "fix" is not a "fix". The myTouch 3G has Android 1.6 stock and if she hasn't changed it, it's still running Android 1.6.

I'm not sure what point you are trying to make, I still hear the distortion on a bone stock Vibrant. The reason I tried these beta builds was because I was hoping that Samsung would have incorporated the A2DP update. And yes the mytouch3g is running Android 1.6.
What does "You don't know if the "fix" is not a "fix"" mean? I think the fact that Samsung released an update for the Korean Galaxy S that improves A2DP quality pretty much sums it up, there was a problem and they fixed it.
This reminds me of the Oscar Rogers skit on SNL, "Sombeody needs to look at this mess and fix it!", lol.

Have you heard the purported fix on your phone? Have you seen what other people have said about it? No and no.

This is true, I have no idea what the A2DP fix does besides doing what Samsung claims it does, improve A2DP playback quality, which is exactly what I want. What is your point again?
Bluetooth audio still sounds poor on the new JI5 build. I've tried on three different Vibrants and three different bluetooth audio devices and have had others hear exactly what I hear. My wife's exact words, "Your phone sounds like a radio broadcast and my phone sounds like a CD."
I spoke to Samsung and they acknowledged there was a problem and said it was due to my devices not being Bluetooth 3.0 compatible. To my knowledge you can't even buy headphones that support 3.0 yet. I really wish they could fix this, I really like the phone overall.
