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!!!!!

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.
I tried to set up a set of BT Stereo Headphones in a shop the other day to test them. We couldn't get them to go so we could listen to mp3s. I use GSPlayer.
Has anybody done this successfully? How do you tell the Magician (WM5) to output the sounds to the bluetooth headset and not to the normal headphones audio output socket?
many thanks,
Zaine.
Cant remeber where i got and who to give props too. but here it is
just run the output all audio to bluetooth and the run the other to turn off
and the auto mode which i havent tested out yet
Bewdiful.
Bewdy mate.
Thanks very much, that seems to do the trick. It works with my normal headset now. I'll go back to the shop now and test those other headphones.
The auto toggle seems to work OK as well, btw.
Once again, thanks a million.
Good deal. I gotta try this out. Will this work w/ the Wizard?
It doesn't work with my Magician + BHCS BT Patch...
I've read plenty of threads about this. For Magician, A2DP is WMP only. Doesn't work with anything else.
Mind you, this is what everyone else has said. I have not tested this myself.
I can confirm that, in my experience.
Also: WMP is pretty rubbish about its A2DP support. For some reason it'll only stream mp3s within a certain bitrate, too low and it uses the device's speaker.
It won't do non-stnadard sample-rates either, and on most setups it seems to "burp" every few seconds.
Ik am succesfull with the standard WMP though. It plays all bitrates, and only rarely stutters... So when I use WMP, I am satisfied!
Works fine, just bad quality sound with Bluetooth.
Well, I tried again in the shop and everything worked fine on my Magician (a T Mobile MDA compact with WM5). However, the sound quality was pretty rubbish. The sales guy reckoned that was a function of Bluetooth.
So, not a winner there. But, I can now listen to my voice recordings and podcasts via my normal BT Headset, which is really handy.
Thanks again to the Frioman - a really useful couple of apps. The toggle is on my Today page now!

Yeah, I got this all the time, espically if I fast forwarded and rewound. And I was re-encoding mp3s to different bitrates, constant and variable without much success.
"Damn WMP and it's lack of features! The stupid thing can only play MP3s... and... WMA..."
I did a few test re-encodes to WMA 9 (not 9.1) @ 192 and now I get those burps and crackles every ... ten minutes? Half an hour? Definitly not every... what, twenty seconds to a minute.
If this is a problem for you, try re-encoding to WMA 9 @ 192. I use dbPowerAmp http://www.dbpoweramp.com/
ooff! took me about 2 and 1/2 days to re-find this thread again!! can we get a sticky on this????
used this on my Wizard (aka mda) and my Moto H3 and now can listen to my tv shows on the train w/my bt headset!
thanks!!!
I got a Unable to Open bluetooth audio gateway or something, though my headset is connected...strange.

There is three icons one for audio off and one for audio on and one for toggle.
I ran one at a time but after 15 or 20 minutes I loose blue tooth connections and the communications manager freezes and when I click on the blue tooth Icon in settings it does nothing, I have to turn the mda off and then I can listen over the blue tooth again, but after 1or 20 minutes it does it again.
can you help?

is there any one out there
BT Audio User Problem
I downloaded BT Audio and installed the three .exe files on my 8525. Soft reset the device and then toggled the audio on.exe. Sound still coming out of the speaker and not the BT headset.
I do have the BT-620's and they work fine (even before the BT Audio install). I am trying to accomplish being able to listen to WM without having to lug the BT-620's around all the time.
I am wondering if having the 620's software is conflicting with BT Audio?
Also, I think to get the audio stream to play to the headset, one has to activate the voice dialing feature from the headset? I can get the sound to play only for a few seconds when I do this. Do I need to de-activate voice dialing? If so, how?
Thanks and Happy Holidays
Wokring great with Plantranics voyer 510
Thanks for such nice software....it is working great in my mda and voyer 510 bluetooh head set.

Thank you so much, toggle works well, switches to calls and back
very cool.
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.
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
edit: sorry ignore me

I'm using with a jabra handsfree BT250v and there is no problem using it - works very well.
Plantronics Pulsar 590A , headset and wireless stereo working perfect.

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!
any improvement with a2dp at all with wm6?

OS is moving faster with A2DP activated. I can listen mp3 over WiFi without sound drops.

Bluetooth connection is much faster and better than that of WM5.
No problem in connection to WMP via my Itech Bluetooth earphone.

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.
its called RUU_Trinity_DOPODASIA_WWE_3.00.707.18_6275_1.46.30.11_108_Ship.exe
HI,
I'VE UPGRADED MY BA WITH KitchenAKU3.5v2-XPLODE
tHEN I UPGRADED RADIO TO 1.15.
THE PROBLEM WITH MY BLUETOOTH (BT) HEADSET IS IT'S ABLE TO WORK WHILE USING IT WITH THE PHONE BUT WHEN I TRY TO LISTEN TO MUSIC USING WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER OR TCPMC PLAYER IT ALLOWS ME TO HEAR JUST FEW SECONDS OF THE SONG AND THEN IT BECOME AS MUTE.
IF I CLOSE THE PLAYER APPLICATIONS (BOTH WMP OR TCPMC) IT STARTS AGIN WORKING ALLOWING ME TO HEAR ALSO THE "TAP" SOUNDS WHEN I HIT THE SCREEN WITH THE PENCIL.
I HAVE TRIED USING ALSO AN OTHER KIND OF BT HEADSET AND THE REACTIONS ARE THE SAME.
NOTE: WHEN I CONNECT TO THE HEADSET BY BT THE MANAGER SHOWS ME THE AVAIABLE SERVICES FOR IT WHICH ARE "HEADSET" AND "WIRELESS STEREO" (AND CONNECTING IT IS POSSIBLE TO HEAR ALSO THE CLASSIC CONNECTION SOUND BY THE HEADSET).
Please, how can i solve the problem? do i need to use an other flash rom ?
PS: SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH ; I'M ITALIAN

Quote from the user "aaraj":
One way to solve the BTA2DP problem is you download the software from http://www.teksoftco.com/index.php section=freeware. Install the cert cab file if u using WM6. Pair your headset with ur pda by checking the box wireless stereo & hands free. Then press the green color button in front ot the screen to toggle pda with the headset after a sometime u will hear music from headset. hope this will help u
I turn off my plantronics 560 and media app (WMP), and turn it on again
then the app.
It works for me.
