stereo headset on wizard

my 2.5 - 3mm adapter that worked on my blue angel in STEREO gives me MONO output on my wizard (same mp3 file, wmp10, same headphones etc.).
means it's useless as an mp3 player...
anyone got a way of getting stereo output from the wizard?

wrong; channel asymmetry!
ok, after running the output through the stereo, i can hear that there is some left channel output, but that it is on a balance of about 5%Left/95%Right
open to suggestions...!

it has been said that the pin config is non standard due to the mic
readit here somewhere

yes but...
the adapter works in the blue angel, which also has a mic. in fact the (awful) standard headsets shipped in the box are interchangeable.
any other ideas? any good experience with BT headsets, perhaps?

Picked up a Motorola BT 820 last week (CompUSA had them for $79.99; Expansys now has them for $78). It works really well with my SX66 (BlueAngel), still running PPC2003.
It supports A2DP, handsfree, and AVRCP profiles; the SX66 doesn't support AVRCP, unfortunately, so the Moto's media control buttons don't work. As a handsfree phone headset, it works at least as well as the Bluespoon AX2 -- the Moto has none of the speaker/mic crosstalk that cheaper BT headphones (Zonet ZUB8100) have and the mic (built into the right speaker housing) has good pickup and selectivity.
In A2DP mode, there's no static (at least close to the SX66; I haven't done any distance tests yet). Haven't tested switching from A2DP to handsfree (i.e. answering the phone when listening to music), or use with Voice Command -- that'll come later when I get some free time.
The only problem I've seen with the BT 820 is that it sometimes takes 2 or 3 tries to get the SX66 to connect to it, especially in A2DP mode.

have the same headphones with k-jam, the avrcp works as well as a2dp,
also can dial and answer calls handsfree, the music stops and then re-starts after the call.

Ummm...
Am I missing something?
How can A2DP work with the K-Jam if support for A2DP hasn't been released yet?

Confused
I have the O2 XDA mini s varient and understood A2DP was not included?

if you go to this link you will be rewarded
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=40458
the version i tried is in french,
but at the end of the post is info abaut a danish & english version
(stuck with french until i get home tonight.)

Thanks for the link and info aliendad.
For us noobs to rom U/Gs, (and assuming that you have an O2 Mini-S), what changes can we expect from this rom to the standard O2 UI, do we have to re-configure GPRS for example.
a2dp is one of the most irritating missing components from WM5 so this will be a great U/G if it works.
Sorry if the question is a bit dumb guys
Kim

i have the imate k-jam, and the cab is available to set up o2 contract settings for you.
only found small list of changes but as i have already said, sorry don't do french.
clock on today screen
a2dp & avrcp
alarm wakes up pda
password comes on at set time even when the unit is on

@aliendad
I presume you'll be installing the english version asap so maybe I'll wait for your comments before taking the plunge
Kim

will be as soon as i get home from work
have seen some saying they are having upgrade problems?

Exactly the same as this one: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5860021523 but shorter and rewired for the Wizard, thinking of knocking some together and selling them on Ebay, but do not know whether i can be bothered yet. :lol:

Well I got the Hama lead BUT any slight knock and the damn thing starts to come out with the result in a loss of one channel. (just putting my phone in my pocket causes the plug to come loose??)
Now as I've got a pair of Logitech MP3 bluetooth stereo headphones I'll give the ROM update a go to see if the A2DP bluetooth works or not??
A couple of questions though..
Is there a decent set of bluetooth stereo headphones out there, that ALSO have a mic for hands free?? and
I assume updating the ROM will not effect the contents of the extended ROM?? (well it didn't last time)
Cheers
John

i tried the bluetake range, but in the end have the motorola ht820 which are very nice and not as expensive as some of the others.
watch out that some say handsfree but you have to make the call using the pda, (you can answer/hangup from the headset) whereas the ht820 can use voice dial.
the upgrade of the rom will effect the extended rom if you are installing a complete new rom set.
there have been downloads with a selected rom only, and then nothing else is effected.
but full upgrade will lose everything you have.

@aliendad
Did you get to try the A2DP english hack yet?
Kim

Hello,
Sorry for the interuption. Just a quick question. Going through so many post. I still cant find any solution or any good stereo headset build in MIC. The original headset is really annoying and ugly.
Itried to browse all over and look for a compatible headset. But all doesnt look very good.
Any recomendation ?
Many Thanks!

anwering yours and cozzykim's post at the same time,
am now running the english rom with a2dp and it works fine so far,
and for waiho, i have myself the motorola ht820 head set, which after trying others i felt was the best choice.
there are some that are smaller, but either have a detachable mic, or one set could not be used for voice dial! you could hangup/answer from the headset, but had to dail from the pda.
defeats the object for me.
i travel to work on the london underground, and it is great when you are squashed like a sardine in a can to be able to adjust volume, next/previus track just by touching my ear (well almost) :lol:

Hello,
Thanks for the advice. I think the headset that you using is too big for me. Im looking something like
Im still not sure issit compatible with K-jam or is there anyone using it already.
But the website stated is compatible.

FM Transmitter

i have a friend who has the nokia 97 and he showed me an app where he can use the phone as an FM transmitter, kind of like an ipod. Is it possible for the TP2 to do that? im thinking not because he antenna for the radio is in the headphones and not the phone itself like the nokia, but could we develop an app that can make the TP2 have an FM transmitter with the headphones plugged in to access radio?
I think it could make for a great and useful app.

The hardware needed to make it an Fm transmitter is not in the Tp2 and so this is not possible. Ive seen plug in devices that transmit whatever comes out of the headphone socket so this would be your only option i think.

i already use such a transmitter for my TP2.
but it isn't useful.
the transmitter need his own power supply and the TP2 will not be charge while the transmitter is pluged in....
Mic is crap, for talking inside the car very bad.

Im using the exact same thing for my car
Good enough for listening to music on my phone...maybe that's all you want

try a bluetooth a2Dp carkit fm transmitter... wow thats a mouthfull..
Anyway.. search for one of those on ebay. I've used them for years. The unit itself plugs in directly to a power outlet in your car. You use the bluetooth on your phone to transmit stereo audio to the unit which in turn broadcasts the audio to the car stereo. I like this cause.... well no wires. The units also have a "carkit" function so when a call comes in it routes the audio over the stereo too and uses a mic built in that you speak through. Pretty clear I have to say.
They range anywhere from 15 dollars to 60 dollars on ebay. I went with a lower end one and once this breaks (though I've had it for about 3 or so years now) I'll be going with a more expensive one. I've found, at least with the one I have, that when there is no audio actually being transmitted to the device the sound that is played through the stereo in the car is similar to that of an old fax machine, all be it a lot less annoying and loud. When I first started using it I used to just run a loop of white noise from my phone in windows media player and then use the built in audio player in manilla to play actual music... also really handy when driving and using tomtom or something on the phone. ALSO really handy when listening to pandora or slacker radio
Long story short.. look up A2Dp fm transmitter and you guys will be set!

For just listening to music in the car nothing beats the direct wire connection of a 3.5 mm connection, IMHO. But, if you would like a full featured alternative I'd go with an Alpine X10. It has BT for streaming music and phone calls. Also has a direct Ipod connection, which is it's main use.

I've heard nothing but good reviews from the Motorola T505
http://direct.motorola.com/hellomoto/t505/

Yeah I use a T505. It works well but is let down by the TP2s bluetooth stack. However music works fine

I've bought several FM Transmitters, not for my Tilt2 but for different cars without AUX input....do yourselves a favor and just get 3.5MM Stereo AUX Inputs if that is the sole purpose of your phone is to listen to music in your cars.... You can get a new radio with aux as cheap as $100-150 installed...
I sold all the FM transmitters i've bought, the only nice ones cost just as much as a radio installed, and you're not getting full sound quality, plus driving out of town sucks when you hit the biggest radio station of that town, just so happens to be the frequency you selected.
If it's for another purpose, my apologies..
p.s., you can mod them up to sound better on some, you can add antenna (just buy small gauge wire or an actual antenna) - search for your unit to see if it can be modded to cover more range.. I ran 12 feet of wiring all around my Honda Civic when I was in the FM Transmitter phase..
Goodluck

Bluetooth audio quality

We have a review that has finally comprehensively and scientifically tested the audio quality of the 3.5mm jack http://www.gsmarena.com/google_nexus_one-review-457p6.php
Can anyone comment on the quality of audio streamed through bluetooth? It would seem that the car dock will leave us relying on bluetooth for easy music, but audio quality is a big deal to me. Does anyone know what to expect in regards to serious audio quality through the bluetooth on the nexus one?
Will it still dip/lack in bass? Will it be essentially lossless? Very compressed sounding? Does anyone with a good audio system/ear for audio use the bluetooth output and have something to say about it?
Any comments appreciated

Well I stream audio to my Pioneer head unit. It's reasonable quality, but don't even think about comparing it to the CD deck. It's very good for what it is designed for - streaming low bandwidth MP3s to noisy car environments where not having the highest quality sound is a little less important than in your living room.
I haven't noticed big dips in bass compared to other inputs, but I don't know what you mean by lossless. If you are asking is fidelity is lost, of course it is, but I don't think there's really any difference when playing back the highly compressed MP3s that I make. Crappy old recordings stuffed onto CD still sounds far worse than a CD compressed to MP3 and played via blue tooth.

Youre not going to tell the difference between CD audio and 320KBPS mp3 on most songs. Period.
But the nexus one headphone jack definitely outputs less bass than is appropriate. The iPod classic is nearly perfect in frequency response, and the N1 puts out noticeably less bass for me than my iPod. I suspected this right when I bought it, and this graph came along a bit later and proved it:

Are you telling me that you haven't tried any reasonable quality MP3s on your car? Also, I promise you, some of us have stereos in our cars that rival most living rooms, especially those equipped with "home theater in a box".
Are you saying the bluetooth audio is worse than the headphone jack?

I'm using an Anycom BT stereo headset (streaming Pandora, DroidLite, and iHeartRadio). Fidelity doesn't compare to high quality wired ear buds, but it's far from inferior (I'd say it's 95% there). Regarding in-car, your eq can more than make up for the lack of fidelity. I'm not disappointed with N1's a2dp streaming at all. Streams are continuous. I've never experienced a single hiccup, unless you're more than 20 feet away, and sync picks up immediately where it left off after receiving a phone call.

I'm saying I was surprised at how good the bluetooth playback was through my head unit - for bluetooth.
My car stereo is nothing special, but I can tell the difference between my mp3s and my cds if I listen carefully in my driveway. The Mp3s generally sound fine, with reasonable quality, but they are generally not 320kps mp3s.
Consider this: the headphone jack is playing music that has been converted to analog, and run through the amplifier on the N1 for output to the jack and playback on headphones or speakers.
With Bluetooth, the digital information is not converted to analog for playback. Instead, it is compressed (because sbc compression is what a2dp does), then transferred digitally to another playback device. There, where it is received, the information is decrypted and amplifiled and sent to a headphone or speakers. So the Nexus One amplifier that has produces the "weak bottom end" does not come into play, since it is never employed.
When it's done, I think the bluetooth playback is okay, not great, and not awful like some like to characterize it. Real audiophiles are not going to like it, but for the masses it will probably do just fine at reasonable listening levels. A2DP employs SBC compression, which isn't the best. Since I generally use mp3s that are compressed too much to begin with by audiophile standards (128kps) I am not going to notice the impact of SBC compression as much as someone using 320kps compression. The purpose of SBC compression is to make the information fit onto the bluetooth stream. If you're starting with more data to begin with, you're going to experience more loss of quality with a2dp. After reading what a2dp/sbc does, I think after a certain point, you are going to pay a heavy penalty for using high bandwidth audio files, because SBC compression is just going to maul it to make it stream. For a2dp purposes, I think I actually benefit by choosing better compression to begin with - when I rip my MP3s to 128kps. This way, I am impacted far less later on when SBC compression does it's thing - which by all accounts is a much worse method of compression. I may try a rip of the same song using various compressions and compare at some point to prove this out.
I know this isn't the answer you were looking for, but I hope it helps.

Hmmm. Thanks very much for the information.
Getting bluetooth in my car would require a rather expensive addon to my stereo. I guess what I will do is pair with my laptop and run audio out from that. That should be a worst possible scenario for sound quality

It depends on the quality of the transmitter as well..I have a bluetooth adapter (one with a 3.5 jack)) and it sound pretty darn good when paired to my N1.
For whatever reason it doesnt sound as good and suffers from far more breakups and skips when streaming from my PC.

Ok, so I did my test and I'm a little disappointed. The frequency response is fine, but the A2DP seems to add some background hiss. What I did is pair the phone with my laptop and hook my laptop up with 3.5mm, then play the same song and hit pause on both to change sources.
MAYBE the hiss was coming from the PC bluetooth receiver but I really doubt it. Sound was very clear when played through the PC (Winamp) and had background hiss whenever anything was playing on the phone.
Not a big deal if you only listen to loud music, kind of annoying if you listen to anything soft.
So yeah, there it is. The bluetooth audio is definitively worse than the 3.5mm, in my opinion. It's still pretty good though, and most people probably won't notice the difference. I'm just not sure its worth the $100 bluetooth receiver to me.

Headphones remote control

Does the headset button only serves to stop / play or is multifunction like magic?

it depends on your Bluetooth headset
your BT headset must have A2DP capabilities
some models does not have remote control feature
the one that does, they usually have lots of buttons
or you tap the same "answer" button once to pause, and "double tap answer" to skip forward.

Brief BTs Review
+1 vote for Motorola HT820, it is simply the VERY BEST! of them all; in funtionality, ease of use, sound purity, and comfy level.
other ones i've and still using but don't like are:
Jabra BT8010 (good but always breaks the earloop)
Sony HBH-DS980 (too much wire, it defeats the purpose of bluetooth)
Sony DRBT21G (pales in comparison to Moto HT820, but it's passable, not comfy though)
BlueTake BT420Rx (Gen1 bluetooth, no A2DP, limited features, very comfy, good sound, but it looks like princess leia specially if you have the white version)
Plantronics Voyager 855 (pure garbage, no A2DP)
Motorola S9 (dies easily with sweat dripped into the device, bad design, it's a total failure compare to its big brother HT820)
my top 2 choices for sound are:
HT820
BT420Rx
my top choice for formar work/fun mix
BT8010
unfortunately the BT8010 is very prone at breaking the earloop even with careful use, i went through 3 sets of it already.
luckily enough when you buy these they come in pairs with the stereo side, so i always use the stereo side of the earloop to replace the main headset, as i seldomly use the stereo side of the headset, i mostly just use the single side of it.
for real stereo i'll much prefer to use the HT820

Anyway does anyone know is the song you can go forward with the headphones that come with the phone?

TEST
Been looking around for a few good ours for a good remote - headphone piece, will give the moto headphones a try, but i have a question, has anyone tried the nokia n97 headphones Nokia Stereo Headset WH-500 or Nokia Stereo Headset WH-701 (google them, can't post link) . Please post if they work (or not). My guess is that they won't, but it doesn't hurt to try.
Found Nokia Bluetooth BH-504 to. if anyone can confirm it works that would be great.

[Q] Multiple Bluetooth Devices

Hi,
So I have a bluetooth headset and all is well with that. What I was hoping to do is pick up a bluetooth FM transmitter like this one:
http://www.banggood.com/Wireless-Bl..._campaign=newsletter-emarsys&utm_content=vera
So is it possible to have a phone call to my ear and music via the FM transmitter at the same time? Bluetooth phone + 3.5mm music doesn't seem to work, so maybe BT+BT will. I have done all sorts of magyver audio setups in the car over the years and I am at the point where I want only a single device and no wires (other than charger); as of now I have been unable to find a way to be on the phone and have music going at the same time on one device. I have an ipod but it's interface is really janky and dangerous to operate behind the wheel. Plus my phone can download music on the fly.
Anyway, the internet yielded poor results, so here I am asking.

So I found a roadblock
So I tried using the bluetooth from a car that I occasionally drive. I managed to pair everything up and had both my Jawbone headset connected as well as the car. I had the music playing through the car's stereo. All good. I tried making a test call, and the music audio was routed to the earpiece as well as the call. Not sure what's wrong here. I have in the profiles the Jawbone set to call only and the car set to media only. Not sure if it's a glitch or just pilot error.
I don't drive this car often, the one I drive like 50+ hrs a week has no bluetooth, hence why I want to buy the adapter. Not sure if there will be any point if this is going to be the result. This is exactly what happens when I try to use BT + 3.5 mm as an audio solution. Maybe multiple sound destinations is too much to ask?

I think what you will need to do is find a device that does both rather than trying to juggle two devices.
Car bluetooth will play audio then pause for calls, etc, but I do not know how different devices would interact with each other to have them pause while the other is at work...
My experience with FM transmitters has been poor. The sound quality is greatly diminished, and you get interference.
I would just go to crutchfield and get a new stereo for the car you spend most of your time in.

When your paired and connected have you tried going into Bluetooth settings and clicking the device.. I know there's usually and option for audio and one for phone audio.. Turn off phone audio for the car radio so it should only play music.. And turn off audio for the jawbone and just leave phone audio checked..
I haven't messed with it yet.. I did do on my atrix hd on a trip so we had music and nobody had to listen to my phone calls.. Not sure if the option is definitely there since I haven't done it on this phone but I would think it is
Edit: screenshot was taken on my s4 so if you set it up the way I described earlier you should have music from your radio/transmitter and phone calls only to your headset

I have played exactly with these settings and I have the earpiece to phone only and car set to media only but when the call comes in, the car stops playing music and the music goes to the earpiece with the call which is annoying. I would like to be able to be on the phone and have the music keep playing, as if the car was playing from a cd. I am thinking maybe it is not possible to have two outputs active simultaneously.

I drive a taxi so i want to keep my calls off the radio. I mute myself and interact with my customers, play them music, etc. When the customer leaves i turn the music down and return to the call. Again, I think these phones might not be capable of making sound in different ways at the same time. BT + 3.5 jack yields the same issue with the music routing to the headset on a call...

I have played exactly with these settings and I have the earpiece to phone only and car set to media only but when the call comes in, the car stops playing music and the music goes to the earpiece with the call which is annoying. I would like to be able to be on the phone and have the music keep playing, as if the car was playing from a cd. I am thinking maybe it is not possible to have two outputs active simultaneously.

Hmm.. I know I had my other phone do what I described.. It did however stop playing music on the radio while I was on a call.. Then resumed when I hung up.. I'll have to try it tonight when I leave work and see.. But you definitely may be right..

That would be appreciated. Pausing playback would be preferable to having the music drown out the convo in the earpiece. If I were rich I'd keep my old phone for music, but such is life. I use poweramp so maybe that has something to do with it. I also tried an app called soundabout but it doesn't seem to do what I want. I posted on their forum but no response yet.
