Hi, I really need some help to solve theese:
After connecting Jabra bt620s (bluetooth stereo headset) to Artemis there are only two profiles under this device: Handsfree and Wireless stereo (i guess the last means A2DP). I can place and receive calls and listen to music in stereo, even turn volume up and down.
1. But other buttons on headset don't work No play/pause, prev/next and rewinding. So what do I need to make them work? Are there any bt stack patches for Artemis like for Prophet, or maybe some special software? AFAIK there has to be special bt profile support to make the trick.
2. How to redirect all sounds to bt headset in stereo? I REALLY want to listen to fm-radio through Jabra 620. But even when bt headset is connected to Artemis radio goes to either connected wired headset or built in speaker Is there any solution?
Thanks in advance!

Re:
1. In order for the controls to work, the device should support the AVRCP bluetooth profile. Not sure though whether the Artemis supports that profile, and in any case this would not mean there would not be other issues.
2. Do you mean that the no sound is received by the Jabra, or that it is being received in mono? If the latter there is a registry change to a 'JointStereo' setting that should do the trick.

1. I guess that AVRCP bt profile is NOT supported on Artemis by default. The question is what can be done to somehow add this profile to Artemis. Applying some patches or something...
2. I mean that no sound is received by the Jabra. Sound goes to either wired headset or built in speaker.
AVRCP IS supported by the Artemis.
You need to make sure the player that you use supports as well. I have tried WMP and PocketMusic, and they both support it. Works great with my Jabra320s.
All my sounds are transfered automatically to my BT headset.. system sounds and my GPS program (MapKing) sounds.
Radio CAN NOT be run unless you have a wired headset inserted, as it acts as an antennae. Even so, I doubt sound will come to your BT headset. It just acts that way.

Indeed it is. It was Mort player's problem. Last release version doesn't support control buttons, but final available beta does!

Sure thing I do plug the wired headset in. But sound goes to either built in speaker, or wired headset.

I REALLY hope that there IS the way at least to redirect radio output to bt headset instead of built in speaker. Maybe registry tweak or some special software.
So research on this topic continues!

Whoa.. the speeding up and slowing down is little.. but noticeable. I didn't know anyone else would notice it.. hehe
Yes.. I do have that.. it happens especially after the pause.
I set my BitPool value to "45".. which has very little noise, but hardly skips. The thing is, I feel that if I make sudden moves or go further than 2 metres without a straight line of sight, the music will get cut off
Higher bitPool value will increase quality, and pauses.
How about you? What is your bitPool value?
Set to 45 aswell also do notice a high freqency wail in the background.

Yes it does.. but I'm outdoors and commuting most of the time when using the headset, and thus that level doesnt bother me much. It's a balance I would say.. But could be better..
If you do find a good tweak to increase the bitPool without skipping, do lemme know

I have tried about 4 different programs that used to work with WM5, but nothing routes the audio properly. Is this a known issue? I read through most of the WM6 threads and saw a lot about VC 1.6, but nothing about this specifically. I like to route mono sound to my bluetooth to listen to music while i work, but now, I load up any bluetooth routing program and my headset beeps like it used to, but the sound still plays out of the speakers. Any help?
Have you tried using Bluemusic http://www.teksoftco.com/index.php?section=bluemusic.
I installed the demo, removed the today plugin and now when I press the button on my bluetooth headset (Jabra JX10) all audio and mic is routed to the headset until I press the button again. I've used it on Skype, and for listening to music.
the only thing you need is to install the widcomm/broadcom bluetooth stack and it will work like a charm!!
and, the soundquality will be MUCH better!

Of course to the extent of how crappy s/w running on a crappy h/w can :-(
can someone explain to me on this issue how it works that on certain devices i guess that are designed for hands-free talking only route audio from a phone call rather than all audio as with for example bluetooth speakers one can find. i'm in the market for some bluetooth speakers for my car and i'm wondering how some of these speaker phone devices may work but i gotta understand how these things work first. thanks. feel free to get technical with me. use high-tech achronyms and such. i wanna learn.

Is anyone using either Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970 or Nokia Wireless Stereo Headset HS-12W with Artemis? If so, how's the audio quality? Do you need to install extra software? Do all the buttons work? And do track titles show on the display?

Problems Solved
I just recently got my P3300 and a nice Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970. I had a lot of problems with the original Windows Mobile 5 at first. It recognized the unit as a2dp and I set the P3300 tu use a2dp functionality of the sony headphones. NADA! Nothing happened. I could just use it as regular hands-free. Then I found this site and first upgraded mu ROM to
PDAMobiz_Dopod_P800W_AKU301_v1.1.2_PowerMap.rar
I didn't like it because it was for Asian market, no localization etc. and some problems...
Then upgraded to
Tom_ART_v2.00.02_CB.rar
Brilliant!!!! Looks like WM6 and has a lot of new functionality +
working A2DP profile. Now the Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970 is working 100%. No bugs, no music while ringing or other problems. Just perfect!
The only disapointment - There is no Radio! In order to run the radio you must use the original hands-free. they say it is because it uses the wire as antena. I tried to hook both the Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970 and the original hands-free -> the sound coming only from the original. SORRY.
I read somewhere that the Nokia model has a built in Radio. So if you need the Radio go for the Nokia one. Though they say the sound from the Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970 is way better! If you prefer MP3's with better sound go for the Sony.
Hope this helps.
i use the nokia hs 12w and the sound quality is excellent.
Do you guys have enabled or disabled the registrykey "UseJointStereo"?
I'm using the HTC BHS100 Bluetooth together with a V-Moda Vibe. When I enable this key (value set to 1) I have superior sound quality but in jointstereo. When I disable this key (value set to 0) to achieve real stereo sound I hear a high pitch noise and the sound is far from superior but in real stereo. This really anoise (typo?) me alot and it doesn't matter whether I'm using the original earphones that comes with the bluetooth or the v-moda earphones or even my full sized dj headphones.
All in all i'm just looking for a wired solution to get the superior stereo sound but that is a problem too. Because a mini-usb to 3.5mm adapter doesn't disable the built-in speaker when listening to music (using an HTC Y cable)

Have you tried this update: http://www.europe.htc.com/support/software/htcp3300.html
HTC:
"HTC audio Drivers
Downloading and installing this driver update will provide your HTC mobile device with the latest available optimised software for use with the following accessories:
YC A120 Y-Cable adaptor
RC W100 Remote Controller
RC E100 Remote Controller"
Tried it just now but I get the message that I already have the latest drivers installed and then it ends the installation.
I'll try to put back the original rom and then install the driver to see if it makes any difference. That is if I'm able to put it back somehow (extended rom has original rom but hardreset still installs the modified rom).
Finally...after installing WM6, the device recognise the Y cable as a headset (registry automatically change value into 1) and now I can enjoy music in full stereo quality. WHOOHOO
Hi,
Is there any way to set the bluetooth stereo headset connection to default stereo? sorry about my english.
so If i connect may stereo headset to the phone the defaul is mono headset i have to go to bt settings and change the profile to stereo after that working fine, I can handle incoming calls etc. but I have to change the profile after reconection again. If I uncheck the headset and handsfree profiles then the stereo working fine but i cant handle the incoming calls from the haedset only with the phone.
so is there a solution to keep the default profile stereo and keep the other two profil in live?
it tries to you works in stereo
Quick question for anyone with a BT stereo headset - if i get a BT dongle, could i connect the headset to a PC and get voice comms via teamspeak to work? Assuming that the dongle and headset does all the A2DP and other profiles?
Basically I'm just trying to see if its feasible - It'd be nice to use the headset for music with the phone, then use it as a wireless headset for games and voice comms when at home.

Yes, and with VOIP & MSN etc. too. The headset appears in the audio properties box on windows or the app you are running.
Thanks -
Before i go and splash out on one - can you confirm a headset that will deliver quality stereo while using the mic
Virtually everywhere i've been, they say that as soon as you use the mic, it will drop down to 8khz mono for sound as it switches from A2DP to the headset one.
If you or anyone have a BT stereo headset, is there any chance you can play a normal 3D game and see if you can talk over teamspeak without it dropping to mono?

Hello all,
Thanks for the help you provide in this forum. I am wondering if bluetooth is working for you in the official WM6 rom? My Trinity does not want to recognize any bluetooth devices. I have three - my laptop, my glasses and my headphones. Non are pairing and it says it cannot find any bluetooth devices. In the WM5 rom, it was no problem. Can anyone help?
Best regards,
Gilbert

Infact the WM6 is faster in detecting present of my iTech bluetooth headset.
I just wish they would have fixed their stack to work with Microsoft Voice Command on mono headsets! It always amazes me how Microsoft can take the few great ideas they have and f**k them up! Not that it's entirely their fault but you think they'd have had it working on the more popular devices, especially with those of the company they are always raving about!

I have an itech clip II how can I listen to WMP or Destinator navigation sounds through my BT?
Hmmm... Got different experiences, found that bluetooth on new official WM6 has some issues with my HT820 A2DP headset.
1. Every time to start the mp3 will skip first 2-3 seconds.
2. The connection will getting unstable after 30-40 minutes continue playing.
3. Randomly my HT820 will lost connection with my CHT9100, also in the Comm. Manager will showed Bluetooth "disabled", but the blue LED still blinking as usual. Tried to turn it off and on but no success, have to push the reset button to clear out the mass.
Hope this might make you feel better, you are not alone...

is there still a high cpu usage with a2dp playing? Is the os still usable for other functions?
The CPU usge for a2dp is still high with this WM6 Rom, but it does not drop at all. The usage is
I have Contacts(with 500 entries), Resco File Explorer 2007, calander, phone, and not forgotten the Core Player loaded with the ram down to 19Mb, there is still no drop in the audio. One exception is the touch screen, if you touch and and move with frequency then u will surely experience drop in audio. I am sure we Trinity or D810 user had known this issue since day.
the updated rom seems so far so good. All I have put on is trinity hacks and tomtom so far, so I wonder if it has to do with all the other junk or the update.

Heya,
for a long time i have been looking for some decent bluetooth stereo headset.
now it has come down to two models. well, actually one only
my choice: motorola s9
and the second possibility: Motorola T820
from reading the comments on amazon on those devices i realize that my phone needs to be A2DP compatible to get the best sound out of the headset.
i use s2p as music player and i know it is A2DP compatible... but is real question is: is my phone (HTC P3300 WM6) compatible with this tecnology
also: if you can suggest any other good headsets, please do so.
key features i seek:
- able to use on my phone and pc
- a2dp
- good sound and microphone quality
a2dp not working
Hi,
I have HTC artemis. I recently purchased wireless bluetooth stereo headsets (Jabra bt325)
I cannot connect it to use as wireless stereo. Its working fine as handsfree. After pairing, I cannot see wireless stereo option. Its Greyed. I know that artemis is A2DP compatible.
But i am sure that headset is fine because I tested it with n95 and it worked fine.
Please give me a solution.
Try this:
Start - settings - connections - bluetooth - and add new device
If your headset is already added, use your stylus and press on the bluetooth headset name until the following menu comes up:
Edit
Delete
Set as Hands-free
Set as Wireless Stereo
Choose no. 4
yes it is.
I'm using Dopod M700 which is the P3300 w/o the GPS module.
It works with dell BH200 BT stereo headset and also the o2 BT stereo earphones.
It works on joint stereo in WM5 and since its now running WM6.1 its real stereo.
Dell BH200
Hi thanks for the suggestion even after setting the Bluetoot head set as "set as Handsfree" it did not work, as soon as I receive or make a call the head set goes off, looks like its some compatibility with A2DP not sure, if some one has done some development or found a patch to make this work would be a great help

might be a specific problem of your headset model.
i use a motorola s9 and it's quite nice. fits nice, does not disturb after hours, controls work fine, calling works fine...
BUT (and there's always a but) it has some major drawbacks i found out. while it's still nice to listen music without wires, i encounter this problems. which MIGHT be due the phone, not the headset... but i have no way to test that.
so, basicly, P3300 + motorola S9 through A2DP:
- insides works like a charm. phone in my belt, headset on. music cuality nice with some small music interrupts every now and then (maybe once per 5 minutes). phone calls nice and i can hear and they can listen me well.
but my oh my when i get on the street...
- constant music interrupts every 15 seconds. i have hang the phone around my neck so it's where my chest is to not get interrupts so often (still get one every 2-3 minutes)
- as the mic is where the ear is, if i have a call, it's impossible to hear me due the background noise. this also applies to the underground/metro. it's not that bad in a bus
and well. without A2DP enabled my music player uses so little resources the phone still works fine...
if A2DP is enabled, the phone gets REAL slow and the battery drain is MASSIVE.
when this motorola S9 break... i'll get another model to test. and when that breaks i'll probably get back to some nice wired ones (unless the CPU issues and the battery drain on the phone gets solved) ... but maybe i actually change the phone before that happens. who knows.
I have searched around XDA and haven't found a solution to this yet.
I have a wireless transmitter to play music in my car. When I turn bluetooth on it automatically turns on 'Hands-Free' but doesn't turn on 'Stereo Audio'.
Previously on my Kaiser (with a different car kit) turning on the transmitter set it up automatically.
I have tried AutoA2DP (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530932) but I'm not sure it worked - it certainly hasn't achieved the effect I want (although it does seem to open Media Player when I connect now).
Anyone found a solution on the TP2?
Cheers,
I did have take a quick look at my TP2, because I had no problem with the connection. My car radio (Sony Xplod) gives 2 icons... 1 from the hands-free and the other of my Audio. I've looked in my settings for you, and found one option what must be checked. It's something like: Make a seperate connection for handfree and audio! (I'm guissing to that sentence becuase I have a dutch ROM!)
Hope it helped you!
greetz
EDIT:
Just did take a closer look into my car, and now it also didn't take the extra connection with my sterio audio. This is the solution:
Go to Com Manager
Press Setting
Press Bluetooth
Take the second tab
And tap than Sterio Audio
Now He's saying he's trying to make a connection e voila! Now it's playing music true your car audio!
(This is the way with TF3D2!'

Yes - I've been doing this every time I get in my car - I just wish there was a way of doing it automatically (and then preventing the message 'You can't control audio via this headset' or similar).

Hi,
Same problem in my car. Same car radio working with two (Sony Ericsson) phones I used before. They always connected immediately (both 'Hands-Free' + 'Stereo Audio). Strange that the TP2 is not comfortable with this simple task. Indeed, I think the option "Connect separately to Bluetooth hands-free and stereo audio services" should be unchecked but despite this option, the TP2 is still waiting for the appropriate tap. Going to BT settings and tapping 'Stereo Audio' each and every time is frustrating and uncomfortable.
Added subscription to this topic.
I'm a bit frustrated too with the AD2P auto connect problem.
I have a Sony MEX-BT3700U Car radio.
When I sit in my car, the handsfree function connects automatically with no hassle.
But not the Stereo Audio (A2DP) function. I connect it via the Bluetooth settings. After that it works great.
The problem is I'm always focused to activate AD2P manually first before I drive and forget that I have yet to start the car. So I have to start over. Going to settings > Bluetooth Settings etc. etc. ANNOYING!
So. I tried A2DP Toggle in combination with A2DP Auto Connect. Doesn't work.
Went searching for hours... But nothing. Think it has todo with the different BT Stack compared to other HTC's.
Still hoping for a solution.
@Ramsfan_Jim: which wireless transmitter are you using? I'm thinking of buying one to use w/my TP2. My factory head unit (VW Monsoon) doesn't support bluetooth.

I originally used a Venturi Mini - which had the advantage that it automatically set up handsfree & audio transmission as soon as I turned it on, but unfortunately it broke (repeatedly) with regular use.
I now use this one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Car-MP3-FM-Transmitter-Bluetooth-Handfree-w-2-Remotes_W0QQitemZ250445424484QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_3?hash=item3a4fb5e764&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A12%7C66%3A2%7C39%3A6%7C72%3A1683%7C293%3A7%7C294%3A25 which is much sturdier - and seems to have a stronger signal. However, I have to change the bluetooth settings on the TP2 to enable Stereo Audio each time I connect.
Warning - this is a much bigger device, so dependent on where your cigarette lighter is in the car, it may get in the way. I had to buy an extension lead to move it so I could use the gearstick!
Newsflash.
Found out how to auto connect to my bluetooth car radio with my TP2.
I have a radio channel bar (or whatever it's called in english) from one to six. There's a "pause/play" description small above the number five. I accidentally pressed it and it suddenly connected my phone through AD2P.
So just press play and it gets connected. So no software needed for me.
I don't use a BT car radio but I do have a stereo BT and a regular BT headset. The stereo BT has both Handsfree and A2DP profiles. But since I use the A2DP only, in my Kaiser under BT Services I unchecked the Handsfree profile and now my stereo BT autoconnects every time.
ChriX84: thanx, very interesting information, will try it tonight in my car !
Another interesting info (might be useful in terms of a .cab file preparation...): a "BT Mono" (i.e. not Stereo Audio (A2DP)) with a very low volume signal is obtained (in my car radio at least) when pressing the "Play" button on the media player (Core or WMP) while still having Stereo Audio option switched off under the BT settings.

I am searching a solution too.
When A2DP isnt active but Headset is connected then you will always listen mono music in your headset...Its normal

Newsflash.
I have a radio channel bar (or whatever it's called in english) from one to six. There's a "pause/play" description small above the number five. I accidentally pressed it and it suddenly connected my phone through AD2P.

This worked for me too. Was bugging me to the extent where I wasn't bothering streaming audio any more!
Nice tip
I always burned new mp3 cd's or connected my mp3player/phone through a aux-cable.
Bluetooth Stereo Music is a huge step forward for me. The ease of using one device for everything. Calling, playing music without any cables. Thank god for that invention.

What exactly is a radio channel bar? Do you mean like a media widget or radio widget?
Personally this a2dp bug is a deal breaker for me. I primarily use my device for audio streaming.

The bar with all the channel buttons. 1,2,3,4,5 etc.
Above or under those buttons there are little symbols with play/pause etc.
