X7500 WM6 and A2DP problem - Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development

Hi!
Yesterday I went through the upgrade of the official Dutch HTC Europe WM6 release. No problems there and WM6 works a charm.
The problem came to the light when I paired my Motorola HT820 A2DP headset. The music in the Windows Media Player plays well through A2DP, but only for a few seconds. After that it starts pausing every second. The same goes for all types of audio I play (video, TCPMP, etc).
Who can help? There was no problem using WM5 and a previous WM6 ROM (unofficial and WWE).
Thanks!!

Search on Priority256_fix. That seems to be the final piece of the puzzle to fix the blue tooth problem.

Thanks for the tips.
Ofcourse there will be always another problem: my Motorola A2DP headset now fails to autoconnect (after being paired) to the X7500. Normally when I turn on the headset you will see a headphone/musictone icon in the top bar and hear the "connect sound" through the headset. This doesn't happen now. I need to soft reset first, and after that it will work again, for a few times.
Deleting the headset and pairing again works, but the autoconnecting stops working when I try again later.
Damn, what is it with the official WM6 and A2DP?

Hi, I still experience lags and pauses while using A2DP. With the registry tweak Priority256 it even gets a lot worse!!
Any more suggestions? I tried several headsets and even the Parrot Sound speaker set, but all of them are the same. So it's not the headset.
EDIT: I figured that it has something to do with the normal Bluetooth headset I use. I want to use the A2DP stereo headset simultaneously with the normal headset for phone calls. The A2DP headset only uses "Stereo audio" when connected, while the normal headset uses "Headset". This was no problem at all with all other devices I had and no problem as well on the X7500 running WM5. With WM6 things are different I guess.
A2DP WITHOUT the normal headset connected is no problem, like it should work. WITH the voice headset connected simultaneously, the lags come up, the prioriry fix makes no difference in this matter. And I'm stubborn, I want to have the voice headset to be connected at all times, the A2DP headset when I want to listen to music.
Any thoughts?

What is the real story about bluetooth stereo headphones with BA?

I've seen conflicting messages about using bluetooth stereo headphones with BA. I'd like to listen to stereo music from my BA (basically use as a MP3 player) using bluetooth headphones but I've seen conflicting messages. I almost purchased a bluetooth stereo headset but the sales agent indicated that they required A2DP which is only supported by WM 5. I'm using Pocket PC 2003 SE and can not upgrade to WM 5 as I need BBconnect support which supposedly isn't supported on WM 5. I don't need the bluetooth stereo headphones to fully integrate with the phone, in other words, if I can listen to music but it doesn't cut off when a phone call comes in that is alright.
Can anyone share their experiences on this matter?
As far as i know A2DP is only avaialble on WM5.
Edit
BBconnect is also avaialble on WM5, you just have to find the right install thats compatible with your Provider, IIRC.
No no, A2DP can in fact be installed on Pocket PC 2003 SE! It's just not officially supported. Take a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=258457. It contains links to the resources you need.
It works, I assure you.
Just download the ".cab" upgrade
(see http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Bluetooth_1.0.0.3900_Upgrade)
I use bluetooth stereo "clip" with my headphones and my father uses motorola HT820 stereo headphones, normally, to listen to mp3.
Thanks for the lead, I installed the suggested cab and I now have the high quality audio setup in my bluetooth manager. I need to go out and purchase a bluetooth headphones this weekend to try it out. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
OK I went out and purchased a pair of ITech bluetooth headphones but I can't get the BA to recognize recognize them. When I go into Bluetooth manager and try to add a new device I get the "High Quality Audio Setup" choice but then the BA times out after searching for about 30 seconds. The headphones are fully charged and turned on. I have the BT 1.0.0 Build 3900 Bluetooth update.
Any ideas?
Oops, never mind, I was able to get the headphones to pair. I didn't read the pairing instructions sufficiently. The answer was holding down the power button on the headphones until the PPC recognized it.
Nice to hear it worked out. Enjoy!

My 9090 already has BT v1.0.0 Build 3900. Is this cab file an upgrade for v1.0.0.3900 or an upgrade to v1.0.0.3900? Like I said, I already have 1.0.0.3900 but the BT Connection Wizard isn't showing a "High Quality Audio Setup".
Take a look in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=264537
In the second post, there are 2 links. The first one adds the High Quality Audio Profile. I think that's all you need, since you already have the 3900 build. Check my answer to that post as well.

Jabra BT620s buffering problem?

Hi,
I'm somewhat of a noob regarding Tytn/Hermes updates etc. Hopefully someone can help me with this problem.
I just bought a Jabra BT620s bluetooth headphone. Connecting works but when I play music in Windows Mediaplayer, the music sometimes stops as if it's buffering a stream.
Does anyone know if this has something to do with a bad connection or should I install some other musicplayer on my PDA? Or is it because the Jabra is just a worthless headphone?
thanks in advance
this has been noticed by several folks now. also problems such as slowing down and speeding up of the audio.
My tests have concluded that i couldnt run my bluetooth head set and bluetooth gps at the same time. on its own the headset was great.
Check you have nothing running as well as wmp also if it is an a2dp headset do a search for the way to add support somewhere on here.. sorry dont know the link.
Music skipping on me as well
I just bought the BT620 - and tried several music players - they all skip. Sometimes I can get thru an entire song and other times it skips so bad as to cal it worthless. The speed up and slow down pitch is very annoying.
Is the issue the headset or the BT stack the MDA uses.
Is there a fix/hack ?
Thanks
I just purchased the Cingular 8525 and BT620s. I can only get the headphones to work as a telephone headset. They will not work with the media player at all, the sound comes from the handset everytime. I have tried pairing them several times, but with no success. Any ideas?

Same Problem. But my BT620s does not work with AVM Blue!Fritz, MDA3 nor with a Logitech DiNovo Desktop. I'm getting angrrrry...
Actually, I got it fixed. With the headset on, and paired, goto the communications manager (second button down on the right side of the handset) and click on settings>bluetooth settings. Then go to the Devices tab. If the heaset is paired with the 'phone you will see it in the list. Click and hold the stylus on the Jabra BT620s item and a pop-up menu will appear. Select "Set as Wireless Stereo". Majically the 620s headset will start flashing both earphones (instead of just one) and it works fine. The headset will automatically switch from phone mode to A2DP mode from that point on. It's slick. I have not encountered the buffering problem reported by others.
Good luck...
Just got my bt620s's and am having the same issue. thought that reducing the quality with fit4cat would work, but nothing seems to fix it. also, for some reason the X-button functionality of spb pocketplus is gone when listening to music with my 8525. After pairing the headphones with my G5, sound quality is worse then than that of the 8525, but I experienced no pauses or skips with the computer, however massive pauses (almost a minute) with the 8525. Tried using mortplayer and wmp. I think these are getting returned unless any of you have found a fix in the meantime. Not to mention the entire phone slows to a crawl, not good.
I too use the Jabra BT620s with the 8525. I also have buffering problems. However, the Jabra also freezes (i.e., locks) the 8525. Bottom line, the Jabra BT620s is being returned.
Hi, I just posted a new thread where I explained how I got the whole thing working http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293054

Mono instead of Stereo !?!?
Mind the fix of CrazyBrit above, it made the BT 620s jump to Audio mode (both earpieces flashing). The problem with interupted streams got fixed once I shut the WLAN / WIFI function of while listening to music. Remember: WLAN and BT use the same frequency band. In a "normal" data stream interferences are a side issue, but in realtime streams - fatal.
However, even that everything seemed fine with my set, I only hear MONO audio, ie. the left and the right earpiece give exactly the same audio. Now i am stuck. Any hint for me? I got a Swisscom / Vodafone v1605 OEM of the HTC TyTN plus the BT620s. Anybody aware of a firmware update, a software fix or a tricky setting?
Thanks,

Well guys ....
I used to have the skipping issue as well , seems to be either a a2dp hack issue , or the ROM is too slow to handle streaming and decoding siultaneously !
Not any more .......
I started using XM6 , and WOW , I can run pocket player without overclocking , and I can finally get pocketmusic to run smoothly and stream a2dp !
So give it a try , worked for me , may work for u !
I am running the bt620s with wm6, everythnig works beautifully. It also worked great with wm5, but 6 is better.
Now for me, these 2 settings made a world of difference as far as quality goes:
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Bluetooth/A2DP/Settings/Bitpool=60
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Bluetooth/A2DP/Settings/MaxSupportedBitpool=35 (or greater)

AD2P on Nike

Hello everyone,
I was using a O2 Zinc on WM6 platform before the current Nike. With Zinc, i was able to listen to mp3 songs played to my SE HBH610 one-sided headset but not now on Nike. I noticed though that the Bluetooth stack on these 2 sets are different while on Zinc, you have an option to "Enable Audio". Anyone, can help? Thank you in advance.
Alano
what settings you have try?
There is nothing much to try. Just either to delete this headset or set it as "handsfree".
There should also a option for bluetooth audio if the phone recognize a2dp on a headset.
my car-hifi has handsfee and bluetooth audio and i can check both.
A2DP for music works like a charm for me...
i dunno about the settings my bluetooth headset when activated automaticly takes over from the phone speaker when im using media programs, though not with all programs. im using an Jabra bt3030 headset myself.
There doesn't seem to be an option perse for A2DP, anyone got an idea?
I have managed to downloaded a 3-party software that allows me to hear on the same headset audio. This show that there is nothing wrong with the capability of the headset but the software of the bluetooth in Nike. As far as I remember, on WM6 of Zinc, it is using Broadcom BT stack. Anyone has ideas where to get this to replace the MS stack on Nike?
Weird - I recently bought a SE HBH-DS220 headset and it works fine together with both Windows Media player and the inbuilt HTC media player.
Nike is A2DP compatible as said in the phone documentation. I use to listen music wirth my motorola S9. When I pair the S9, audio is automatiquely routed to it.
I have a motorola S9 stereo Bt too and everything works fine, even games and tcmcp work without problems.
I use this Blue Tooth Headset. Reason ... no other Product use 24bit D/A Converter! Not much Headset, can match with this product!!! and ... i am a fan of old designes ... if you have a sunglasses ... you look like the first Napster Logo LLOOOLL

The S9s are a great set, but don't ever go running/cycling or get sweaty with them - they totally fail - which is seriously lousy for something thats "designed" for such usage.
I use the Motorola SoundPilot S705, which i brilliant.
I have an outtake for 3,5 mm. jack, and FM radio. When I turn the SoundPilot on, it immediately paires up with my phone.

anyone with bluetooth media problems on 2.2+ roms

ok, this has been plaguing me and preventing me from switching permanently to 2.2 since the camera has been fixed.
the problem:
you pair your bluetooth device and connect. media works fine. then disconnect and turn off bluetooth and the bt device. turn everything back on, and media won't play through the bluetooth device.
the cause:
well, i have been using the same jabra sp700 for a few years now. worked great on all my devices (iphone 2g, iphone 3g, dream, various nokias and my x10 up to 2.1). well, apparently 2.2+ android requires a bluetooth device that supports avrcp or the avrcp handling of 2.2+ roms require avrcp to work on the bluetooth device. however, my sp700 (and i would imagine other older bt devices) either do not have this or it doesn't work as android wants it to.
the solution (tested multiple times, works sometimes, not others):
pair and connect, go into settings and disable "phone audio" for the bluetooth device.
kind of sucks since this is my car speaker phone, but i use it for media more than i use it for phone. but i have connected/disconnected several times and media is still playing through the bt and not the phone speaker.
so those who have bt media problems with 2.2+ roms, try this, it may work for you.
will this fix the problem? http://www.foogod.com/android/ ?
it is the same with MW600 headset on Wolfbreak's CM 6.1.3 0.54 ROM.
what happens for me:
both devices were paired in the past and remember each other. I turn on BT on the phone and power on the headset. press play in the music player - nothing plays, it hangs and come back to paused state.
when I press play for second time music comes from headphone speaker.
what helps:
stop the playback at this point. turn the headset off and on again. press play and the music should play through it. with both music headset and phone audio profiles active.
this is how I have to do it every single time. headset works normaly afterwards until you turn the BT off on the phone again. it's just a little inconvenience.
what troubles me more are the short gaps in the playback you get about every minute and when you turn the screen off.

does not work
what about the method I wrote about? I think it is the same problem.
power off/on your headset again when the music starts playing from the headphone speaker used normally for calls. every single time this happens it fixes this for me.

that was working on and off for me. sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't.
i made some modifications to the bluetooth audio.conf, will test those on my way home tonight.
no problems here with my bluetooth and i'm using wolfbreaks' 2.2 rom. i'm using a sony dr-bt50 headphones.
I've been having this problem with my headset too (hbh is800) and I'll try once I get back from home. Hopefully it works. I've tried the foogod link before and it never helped. I've been experiencing the bluetooth problem with my watch too (mbw 150) it connects and later it disconnects. and the cycle keeps repeating.
I have the same problem with dante-fu. I use Wolfbreak's CM 6.1.3 v0.54 ROM and MW600 headset. But turn on/off headset doesn`t help me sometimes and I have to re-pair devices.
I'm too having some problems with my mw600 head set.
Sometimes it does not play through the Bluetooth headset but through the speaker of the phone (it happens rarely)
But the most annoying thing is after a call, my headset just freezes & nothing works expect for the power button. Only solution is to turn the device of & turning on it again.
Using Wolf's 2.2 CM ROM
well, this sucks, i've tried changing all the media configs and nothing.
only solution i can think of is porting the bluetooth stack from 2.1 to 2.2.
back to 2.1 since my bt speaker is the only option for music in my car since my kid decided to deposit $.42 into my cd player.
Blutooth Media streaming problem
Hello,
Has anyone had any luck resolving this issue?
It's starting to drive me crazy. Bluetooth phone calls work perfectly but media streaming works intermittently.
Is there an easy way to replace downgrade the blutooth stack?

A2DP, Bluetooth Speaker (Monster ClarityHD)

Just had to share a surprising and accidental solution that occured. I have a TMOUS HD2 with the 3.14 ROM update and CHT 2.0.
I recently purchased a Monster ClarityHD bluetooth speaker so I could wirelessly stream music from my phone. After pairing it, the streaming and sound were quite impressive. After I turned off the speaker I noticed that the phone detected it but only as a headset and not stereo audio (as indicated by the icon on top, i.e., headset with bluetooth logo vs. headphones with music note). I had to go into the Comm Manager everytime to update the pairing so the A2DP would turn on.
I searched all over (including here) for an A2DP switch/toggle app but never found one that worked fo me. After talking to both T-Mobile and HTC tech support to no avail, I happened to reset my phone while it was paired with A2DP on, the bluettoh speaker speaker was on, and bluetooth discoverable was on (bluetooth logo with eye on top). After it rebooted it found the speaker and turned on stereo audio automatically.
I can't explain it but it's exactly what I was looking for it to do. If you try this I hope it works for you too.
