S620 Buggy bluetooth stereo audio - HTC Excalibur

I remember reading that someone had a fix for the occasional bit of dropped audio using bluetooth headphones on the excalibur.
I can't seem to find it though.
Any help?
Thanks!

Look for the "bitpool" entry in the registry and set it to 40. The default "30" makes it drop the stream and it sounds like crap anyway.

Need to send audio to my BT handset (willing to pay $$)

Hi guys
I've recently purchased an XDA IIs and i just love it! I also got a JabraBT800.
I've got Destinator 3 and was wondering if there was any way I could use the BT headset to play the destinator voice prompts, and infact, all other audio (including audio recordings on the XDA and other audio such as mp3's etc.)
I know the quality wont be good when listening to mp3's but quality doesnt matter.
I'm sure there would be a workaround to using the headset for this purpose? I've searched the 'net all over and have not been able to find anything!
HELP!! I'm willing to pay $ in order to get this working!
Anyone??
Here is the magic key, that gets me very close, with a temporary shift of sound to the Jabra 250, then back to the internal speaker. Maybe other headsets can keep the sound transfer or someone can find the next step to get this stable.
HKLM\Software\Widcomm\Plugin\Handsfree
Change AudioPreferences to (3)
Change AudioHandling to (19)
Make sure SupportedFeatures is (55)
What did this change?
Go to Bluetooth Settings, Services, Hands Free, and hit the Advanced button. Notice the whole new checkbox called "Standard Audio" and paragraph about playing music, notifications, etc. on your headset.
My Jabra now is labeled an Audio Gateway in the Bluetooth manager. Still works for phone calls, partners and begins to transmit standard audio with every sound. Just reverts back in internal speaker after 1/2 second of sound or so.
Good luck with the next steps. I noticed there is a AudioGateway device defined in the registry using AudioGateway.dll There is also an BTAudioGateway.dll, but it is not defined anywhere in the registry, maybe this is a key registry setting that is missing.
Anyone got more info on this? It seems the feature is there, we just need a way of making this perm!
Thanks for that info Paul.
I tried it and I did get the 'Audio Gateway' setting in my BT settings page. However, I could not get the 1/2 second audio at all.
Connection status also showed no activity sent while audio was playing on my XDA IIs.
Has anyone gotten this working at all? (Even the 1/2 second audio bit)?
I changed the keys, and the new check box appeared. I did not notice any audio, but im not sure when it was expected....I.e. when you change the keys or when u check the tick box. Not sure....
The feature seems to be there, and would love to have this functionality, and to be able to use the bluetooth's mic for recording on the device would also be great, i.e for Voice Commands etc.....
Any developers willing to take on this project?
I'm willing to donate $100 to the first person that comes up with a workable solution!

I dont see how my question and the link you provided are related...
BT Headset patch
I think he meant:-

But it is device specific....
Yes, in fact I did.
Hope this helps.
Where and how do you locate the directory HKLM\Software|Widcomm|Plugin|Handsfree to make the changes?

hi
i phurchase the kais patch for bt but its didnt help and not working
It is a registry setting, not a directory. I used Raxco Registry editor for it, but there are many others available.
It appears the problem is missing registry keys. On the PDAPhoneHome.com forums one of the members decompiled the audio gateway DLL and the bluetooth audio DLL and found that they are looking for registry keys that dont exist, namely the contents of HKLM\SOFTWARE\Widcomm\BTConfig\Services\0005 and HKLM\SOFTWARE\Widcomm\BTConfig\Services\0006. The IPAQ and Axims that have this capability already have these keys defined. So the question is, does anyone have a PPC (Not necessarily a Blue Angel or even an HTC) with these keys defined in the registry?
Hi guys
Any updates on this?
yep check this thread

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
Bluetooth problem on SPV E600
Hi guys,
Anyone got that after installing HTC rom "RUU_Excalibur_HTC_WWE_1.11.405.4_4.1.13.28_02.63.90_Ship"?
I can't get the bluetooth to start.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Same with t-mobile wm6 beta

Motorola S9 HD and Touch HD - totally disappointed;(

OK
Just got them today from eBay.
I paired it with my Touch HD and of course I wanted to try how the music works. And.... I AM SO DISSAPOINTED! Maybe I do something wrong or I need to configure my Touch HD somehow but the music quality is totally crappy! It sounds like music through standard mono Bluetooth headset instead stereo stream music...
Please help me because I am out of ideas and if THIS is great sound quality then I don't know what people have compared it to....
The sound is with typical glitches in the back, unclear with buzz, like with Bluetooth phone conversation. I was expecting clean stereo sound (at least I thought that hat's what A2DP stands for).
Stereo is barely recognizable - it is more like double mono;(
I love sound on my Creative EP630 - it is crystal clear - just brilliant sound quality. I even read one review when someone claimed to be as good as with EP 630. NOT in my case;(
With S9HD it is just pain for my ears!;(
And I can't even use AudioBooster with this???
No I just can't believe that I have configured it well.
Please someone help me what I am doing wrong....

Use A2DP bluetooth profile to connect, instead of plain handsfree.

could you explain in like step-by-step how to do it? ? because i don't know how to connect through a2dp profile in touch hd...
thanks
Might also be worth changing bluetooth settings via Advanced Configuration;
make sure Bitpool is set to very high. I've been using my Blueant X5 headphones for years and was disappointed when I first paired it with my Diamond, but found the sound greatly improved with a little tweaking around.

Tweaking Bluetooth Stereo settings?

Wololo,
I tried pairing up my Sony DS-980 stereo bluetooth headset with my Touch Pro 2. That worked flawlessly. I find the new bluetooth interface to be quite good. It has lots of fancy settings in a nice GUI.
BUT
When listening to music, the sound through my headset isn't very good. It sounds compressed and.. mediocre. I know it's not the headset, as it worked fine on my HTC P4350 (after some tweaking in the bitpool, that is).
I used to use Advanced Config for tweaking the bluetooth stereo settings. Apparently our Pro2 uses a new bluetooth stack which is not (yet) configurable through that program. I then tried searching for ways to edit the equivalent of the bitpool for our tp2's widcomm bluetooth stack. An old thread on xda stated 'Line Speed' to be the new 'bitpool' name. But that string is not in my registry. I might try adding it, but I doubt if that will work.
I also found 'Baudrate' as a candidate. but it's set to 4.000.000. That's quite high, in my idea.
Before I mess up my registry with 'playing around', does anyone know what else I can try? And am I the only one experiencing poor sound quality through stereo bluetooth?
Thanks!
Hi,
BT Stack on Rhodium is from Widcomm.
You can find the config in
HKLM\Software\Widcomm
I have not dug through to find ASDP settings, no time at the moment.
Please post back if you find it or not so that I can add them to the tweaks sticky.
Not sure if you have tried this or not, but with my car kit (which support HFP, A2DP and AVRCP I have to activate Stereo Audio on the Rhodium in BT Config, perhaps your headset behaves the same. If I do not audio is ****.
Cheers,
Beasty
OK, I think I got it. The Linespeed value does indeed seem to have an effect. I used this wiki as a guide:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...h your stereo Bluetooth headphones? Read this!
I used Resco Explorer Registry add-in to add the following DWORD value:
HKLM\Software\WIDCOMM\Plugin\AV\LineSpeed with a value of 320
That seems to do the trick. I'll test it for a bit, but I'm not experiencing drop-outs as of yet and my music sounds much better.
PS I first tried hacking around in the HKLM\Software\WIDCOMM\BTConfig\SerialTransport; increasing baudrate/bytesize values. Don't. Changing stuff breaks the bluetooth
yesterday i tested the a2dp range and it auto reduced quality the further i went. Unfortunately it did not vice-versa.
I'm going to test that reg.
EDIT: Definitely that reg works but it also makes the cpu use heavier and you notice that while using gps software on the car and streaming music. The 528mhz cpu is not powerful enough for this task. After some testing the value is like kb/s, so 272 is the usual for good quality, above that it takes allot of cpu. At the end i removed the reg because the device does the auto quality/cpu usage quite well. The quality is not quite the same has with a fixed value of 272 but barely worst.
Yeah, I noticed the same thing with the distance and quality, which kind of sucks as over time if the signal weakens for what ever reason (which will likely happen over an extended period of time) the audio quality gets worse and worse over time.
Also I have noticed that Audio controls don't seem to work on the TP2 with my BT stereo headphones (Sony DR-BT21G) and seem to play at max volume all the time. Not sure if this is something you guys have noticed as well or if it is specific to my head phones, though they have worked fine with other devices.
if you google it you will find ppl with dell and hp pda that uses/installed widcomm/broadcom stack and "unfortunately" it's a feature. The volume is controlled only by the a2dp receiver.
The linespeed does work but try and use wifi and a2dp at the same time You will get so much skipping :S My best experience is without that reg. Not the best quality but.. You will live with it.
Also it does adjust the "quality" itself. Lowers and uppers. It's just not instant.
anyone figure out the reg settings so it will force the call to use ringtone?

bluetooth headset and battery life

has somebody made any experiences with bluetooth headsets, especially stereo ones for music listening, and the battery life of the TP2?
how many hours could i be listening until the phone battery is empty?
cause i'm thinking of buying one(e.g. http://www.consumer.philips.com/c/zubehör-für-mobiltelefone/shb6110_10/prd/at/).
thx for the answers

I've been using my bt headphones just about everyday at work since i got my tilt2 about a week ago, battery life is comparable to my first tilt, a good half days listening if you aren't doing much else. Since i can't have my phone out b/c i work at a bank, it stays put away and just the music playing. I did use advanced config tool 3.3 to turn on all battery save options when i first got it, so i cant compare how it may have been right out the box, but i would reccomend to anyone to turn those setting on as i noticed a big difference with my first tilt. also im using the stock att rom with 6.5 and manila 2.1 and playing it with htc music player or whatever that default htc player is called. the sound quality is not good at all, but ive seen a reg fix here, and will comment back on the difference.
i tried the the 320 Line speed reg trick , it sounded horribe on both my jawbone II and sony HPs , I'm gonna delete the dword reg and try it stock.
By default the quality of the audio is terrible via A2DP. At first I thought I got a bad pair of headphones or that was just the way it sounded over bluetooth. However the linespeed registry entry made all the difference in the world. So make sure you set it and then reboot your device. It should be at:
HKLM\Software\WIDCOMM\Plugin\AV
then set/create DWORD entry: LineSpeed = 320 (Decimal)
That made all the difference in the world as far as the quality of the audio through A2DP.
