Motorola HT820 bluetooth stereo headset problems.

I've recently acquired one of these headsets and have managed 2 pair it with my O2 XDA II mini. However, i am unable to stream music to the headset but am able to answer calls and make them too. Does anyone know how i could stream music from my phone to my headset?

if you check in the forum for your pda, i believe you will find you have to upgrade your bluetooth software?
then you will find new menu's in the bluetooth settings including audio/audio streaming.
have the headphones, and am very pleased

already have da software
Hey, i already have the software but the thing is nothing appears in the box labelled "default headset" even after i have paired the device with my XDA. And whenever i try 2 stream music, it initially says connecting but eventually the connection fails and the music does not stream to my headset. Does anyone know how i can get the headset to appear in the default headset drop down box?

when you paired the h/set & phone, what choices did you get?

When I turn my headphones on, my handsfree part pairs but my stereo part won't pair automatically, usually. I just connect it manually, but sometimes it won't just connect so I have to disconnect the handsfree part before I connect the stereo part then reconnect the handsfree part. Occassionally, I have to repeat more than once.

Pair it to the device you want stereo from, start the default "Headset" system for normal talking, press the left multifunction to terminate the connection to the "headset" profile, then press the right multifunction button to trigger the "stereo headset" profile to start.
Or, try to force it after pairing and then press the rightmultifunction to accept the connection and have the device bind that call to that function, enabling and disabling the stereo data.
I had to do the first part with my new HP iPAQ hx2495 to get the stereo headset profile going when i installed the headset as both stereo and regular.

I finally got my HT820 working
I have a T-mobile US MDA.
I first upgraded to ROM 2.24 which supports A2DP, which is what the headset uses for sound other than the phone. (When you flash your ROM it intalls all new boot up software so it changes your hard-reset process, and you lose your support.) Then I paired. You should see the services the headset offers, handsfree and stereo. There's also a menu available when you hold-slelect the name of the BT device in the device list that's handy.
I did discover that it is a headset problem if the sound skips out irratically averaging about 20 seconds. There was a bad batch sent out to/from Hong Kong. Motorola is replacing mine, but I had to pay to ship it to them.
Hope this helps!

I don't want to hijack your thread but I don't know where else to turn. I have requested help elswhere on this forum for my problem but I can't seem to get any help.
I have a ht820 and a cingular 8125. I've been able to pair the headset with my phone but, when I try to play a mp3, the voice speed dial comes up, the mp3 plays for about 3 seconds, then the mp3 audio reverts back to the phone.
Do I have to flash to a different rom, do I have to tweak registry settings? I don't really have a clue what I should do. Please help.

Edit: I've solved my problem. See this thread for my fix.

Thanks

Actually what it sounds like is the phone is only connecting to the headset for that time under the premise of a voice dial with the headset profile. I think you're lucky enough that you can get it to play for those 3 seconds. I have a Sony Ericcson w810i and I can't even get any audio from it to the headset at all without using the w810i's 3.5mm adapter to the patch cable on the headphones which just looks weird. But you might want to do a search for your model phone like this, "Cingular 8125 Motorola HT820" and see what kinda results you get.

A2DP with TCPMP?

Too many acronyms?
OK, so I got me some nice little bluetooth headphones, the iPhono mini things from bluetake. I'm digging them.
Only problem is that TCPMP doesn't fancy piping its music over bluetooth, although WMP happily will. This is pretty pants, since most of my music is AAC, which WMP naturally won't play.
Also, while we're here, even in WMP the pause/skip buttons on the headphones are having no effect. It's kind of jittery too. Man, what?
So, does anybody have any ideas? I gather from searching that many people do use bluetooth headphones, and there was even one instance of someone saying they do so via TCPMP regularly.
I'm using a HTC Magician (1.12 rom) with the url=http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33532&highlight=a2dp]BCHS bluetooth stack/url], maybe I need a different stack? I gather there are a few...
Maybe if I upgrade to the 1.13 rom? Or maybe a different bluetooth stack? I don't know :/

I've never tried to use my BT headset to listen to music with my phone, but on my laptop, the headset has to be paired and activated in 'My bluetooth places. Then I have to select it as the audio device to use in control panel->sounds and audio devices, then restart whatever media player I'm using.

Good idea, but I tried restarting the apps already. I even did a soft-reset and made pairing the very first thing I did when it had finished booting.

Itech a2dp
Just bought some Itech clip s35 BT thingy, lets you put your own headphones in.
I put my universal on my desk. Went to the next office. About 10 meters away, through thin walls and next to 7 servers, its still 100% crispy sound.
I turn around and it stops, turn back and its back again. 10 metres! Through walls!!
Connected to my Sony MDR EX71 mini squishys and Im sealed in sound wirelessly.
I cannot fault these in any way shape or form.
For sale now on amazon. £30
WTF!
BUY THEM!!!!!

That... doesn't help :?

"That... doesn't help" - Quote
Ooops
I forget to say that as this is paired as wireless stereo in my bluetooth devices, everything comes out this headset.
TCMP
Games
Phone
Media Player
I paired it and it seemed to completely take the place of my wired headset. As if it is plugged in.
With the voice dial activated using the button on the headset, I dont have to get my phone out of its case to listen and make recieve calls. I have not tested to see if TCMP cuts out and comes back in.....
My suggestion would be to find out if there are different types of A2DP, as my device seems to have this device as default audio output. Perhaps this is just a windows mobile 5 thing though.....
I am going to upgrade my old Magician with a bluetooth stack which supports A2DP. If I do this sometime soon, ill let you know my results.
Sorry for the apparent topic change.

Ha ha! I'm all "Wait, how the hell is he doing all that? Maybe he has WM5?" and I'm pretty sure you're right. I've been trolling this place for the last few days on all the Magician + A2DP info I can. Seems as though only WMP will stream audio over bluetooth via A2DP with that upgraded stack.

I find that CorePlayer works great w/ A2DP.

I just got MOTO s9's today, I am able to hear music when listing to Coreplayer/tcmp but the Play, pause, next buttons don't work.

You can map the headset buttons to control playback with Hotkeys in CorePlayer the same way you map hard keys on the device.

If you want TCMP to play over a2dp when it doesn't automaticly do so you must go to the options menu, then audio options, then select Null audio in the audiodriver section. Press play, obviously you won’t hear a thing. Pause the music or video and go back to the audiodriver section then select wave output. Press play And voila you have bluetooth audio. This does the trick for me as it doesn’t play through headset automaticly.
hope this helps you.

Find the BTAudio.cab application if it works with your device.

Pair your device with 'JETware Mobile Extension 1.31' & configure it. Also do make the device in Bluetooth Discoverable mode, this will certainly help in streaming the music. Better try CorePlayer 1.2.4.

Bluetooth Handsfree / Headset?

So I have a 8525, very new to it. I am using sleuths latest WM6 ROM. I paired my plantronics bluetooth handsfree which supports both profiles "handsfree and headset" it paired as handsfree and works for calls as expected. But I have yet to figure out a way to pipe all audio to the headset or pair it as a headset. I can pair it as a headset on a PC, but not the 8525. I remember having this issue with my 2125 and having to get some software to allow this, I assumed with all the stereo bluetooth work and that this was a pocket pc and not a smartphone that this was not an issue any more.
I tried searching but so many posts come up for bluetooth headset or handsfree, not having much luck.

Which headset are you using?

I have the plantronics voyager 510, works fine as the handsfree with the phone and sleauth wm6 rom. Just trying to figure out the way to get the headset side to work so I can listen to audio books and podcasts.
I will keep searching, keywords get me results just going to have to keep sifting.

You need a headset with AD2P profile or your gonna need to get some hack to route all bt audio to a mono headset.

Is there such a hack? I have the Plantronics 520 bt headset which works really well with voice, but won't play any music. I've tried all the various cabs from this forum but none has worked. The "wireless stereo" option in the bt settings when I pair it to my 8525 is grayed out ... does this mean that the headset cannot do music at all? Even though I really like this unit, if that's true, I'll need to return it and find one that does.

I'm pretty sure pocket player supports mono bluetooth headsets. Bad thing is it costs $20. Good thing is you can try it free for 30 days to make sure it does work. Or you can goto amazon and pick up the Jabra BT620 headphones for under $40; they work great for me.

A2DP Audio routing problems

Well, being that this is my first post, I would first like to say that this site and forums are top notch, I have had my 8525 for about a month now and have learned an immense amount of knowledge in a short amount of time thanks to you guys. Now for my problem...
I have my 8525 running Black Magik, radio 1.43.00 and have recently purchased a pair of Sony DR-BT21G A2DP stereo headphones. Now I was a bit weary about buying these since I have seen no mention of them on these forums... buy anyways. When I first paired the devices together I was able to listen to music without problem, though sound needed to be tweaked. After trolling for quite some time through the forums (yes, the search feature works great) I found what appeared to be the best A2DP setting for audio quality, and now after playing with every possibility cannot get music routed to the headset, phone calls work without a hitch. I have downloaded BTAudio to route all system sounds to the headset but It doesn't seem to work. I toggle BTAudio on and I can hear slight static through the phones but the audio still comes out through the system speaker. I have played with A2DP settings in both pimp my black and HTweakC but have not had any success. I am planning on reflashing Majik tonight to attempt to set it up from scratch, but I was wondering if anyone here could shed some light on this issue? Thanks in advance.

Delete the pairing. SR. Re-pair. Should do hte trick. Better yet - for the most stable ROM and A2DP tweaked for the best sound "out of the box" - reflash with Sleuth255 variant of LVSW ROM.

How exactly can I delete the pair? I can repair the device but have not seen an option to remove it?

To toggle Audio to A2DP you might want to see:

There's a description and a link to download the CAB for A2DPToggle plugin too.
Let me know how it works on your hardware.

Another bluetooth question...

Bluetooth stereo headset on htc s620?
Does anybody have expirience with a stereo bluetooth headset on de HTC S620 or Dash? and is this possible? And wich headset is a good one?

Fortunately, the Dash has bluetooth 2.0, so you'll be able to try the newer headsets/headphones as they come out. Sony has a set of 2.0 headsets that I tried as they had the earbud style I prefer (they stay in). The sound quality was a big disappointment though, not approaching that of wired headphones. The range was great though. Tried to watch video with them, but the audio was out of sync. Wound up returning them.
These look worth trying: http://mobilitytoday.com/news/007355/Jabra_BT8010_CES
Whatever you decide to try out, make sure the place you get them has a return policy.

Thanks for your reply.
i think i will keep it by mine wired headset

My dash was setup for poor audio on the stereo bluetooth. After much searching, i found out i had to delete the keys in the registry for it to work. Once i did that, audio quality improved ten times.
More on that here. I appear to not be the only one with the issue. If your getting poor audio quality with the stereo bluetooth, give it a shot.

I just got the itech clip headset which takes nomal earbud headphones not the headphones take look dorky when you wear them. A2DP AVCRP, works perfectly. No problems with audio quality. Handling of phone calls back to windows media player is fine Microsoft voice comand works fine as well. I have the o2 Germany ROM installed.

bluetooth headset profile question
everytime i connect my bluetooth headset or my wired handsfree headset my profile automatically changes to "headset" and i cannot change it to any other profile while the headset is connected
is there any way to change your profile while a headset is connected? or is there a registry edit that will do the job?
thanks in advance

Bluetooth loudness
Hi,
I am using the Dash flashed to the S620 original ROMs, on the US T-Mobile network.
Everything is fine, but the call volume on with my bluetooth headset seems low.
(I tried a Motorla hs500 and a samsung wep200)
Is there maybe a registry hack to increase the bluetooth volume?
Cheers,
Bela

I know what your talking about and I hate it. Only way to change the profile is to turn off your BT Headset.
I would like to have 2 headset profiles so i can have a silent one and that isnt silent.

bluetooth a2dp registry settings
So... following a thread here, I deleted everything in regards to those keys and I'm getting random dropouts whilst listening to music over my Motorola HT820 headphones. Is there anyway someone can send me their backup settings or tell me the settings so I can put them back in? Am I just forced to do a clean install of the WM6 Beta rom? I know, I'm stupid for not backing up, but they said it worked well... :-( Thanks!

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2DP\Settings
thats where the key values were deleted...

can someone give me their values so i can reprogram it in?! thanks!

bluetooth file exploring
is there any application or software that i can use to look at and copy files that are on other devices through bluetooth?
i used to have a samsung phone and i was able to do this, because my co workers and i always need files that are on eachothers phones and its just easier to go and get the file yourself then to have to ask them to beam me the files
any input would be helpful

T-mobile Dash and Bluetooth Stereo headphones
Has anyone tried using the A2DP functionality with bluetooth headphones to get stereo music? In particular I'm considering the I-tech S38 with my T-mobile Dash.
Thanks in advance!

My understanding is that certain headphones work better than others. Dishe over at HoFo tried the I-tech Clip r-35 with hs SDA and (I think) a Dash and wasn't happy with the results. I've used my cheapo Logitech BT headphones with my Dash and had very good results. Because of this I'd make sure whereve ryou get them has a liberal return policy.

Thanks for the update!
I followed up by searching the threads at Hofo and read a number of reviews outlining a bunch of issues with I-tech clips. Apparently, the plantropics headsets are much better.
cheers

My brother has a plantronics 590 I think it is. It sounded really good on my MDA, but that was before I had my dash.

None of them that I have tried (and I've tried a lot) sound nearly as good as a wired set of headphones. Definitely follow the poster's advice who recommended purchasing from someone with a return policy. I did, and returned them all -- an online store with a good selection and a good return policy: http://www.mobilecityonline.com
