Bluetooth headset audio streaming issue - General Accessories

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but here goes.
I recently bought an inexpensive bluetooth headset from Germany, and I've been trying to get it to work with my phone (HTC Magician, O2 branded, recent firmare) for audio streaming. It works fine for calls, but I'd like to get all the audio from the magician to stream to the headset. I've downloaded and installed the new bluetooth stack from here, and that got me a little further than before. However, whenever I try to play some audio (for example, through WMP), it fails to connect to the headset for streaming, and tells me so. In the control panel, I'm unable to select my headset on the audio tab as the default device, because it doesn't show up in the list. Ideas, anyone? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

try going into bluetooth pref. then click and hold on your device name until it pops up and select edit. then check the boxes for the headset service you want to use

All I get on the edit screen is the box to change the device's display name, and a cancel button.
EDIT: my firmware versions are as follows:
R 1.12.00
G 1337.42
D 1.13.00 WWE
Also, I have applied the BigStorage hack.
EDIT 2: It seems I have a headset that doesn't support A2DP, so I'm not sure if it's at all possible to stream non-phone-call audio into it. I should have read further into the above-linked thread before posting; sorry.
Anyway: is it possible to stream audio to a non-A2DP headset? (help still greatly appreciated )

A2DP and BT version

Greetings -- I've upgraded to BT 3900 for Motorola HS850 hands-free, which works, although with static.
Now, I got i-tech Clip, and it worked as a hands-free as well. But read on.
I wanted to try it as high-quality audio setup, so I got the profiles -- although for build 3500 -- off the ftp. It did show that profile, but quickly failed to dicover the service on i-tech. As I deleted the hands-free profile, I try to get at least that back. Alas! Now it doesn't connect to hands-free i-tech either.
I've tried: installing 3500, 160.600, -- still discovery fails. What's the rollback procedure to get 3900 with its profiles back?
Braver, I also have Clip S35 from i-Tech. It works so fine with my Xda II (Widcomm Stack + Handsfree Profile and A2DP)
Did you try to reset your Clip S35 and try to pair it together again?
How did you get the A2DP profile? I've installed the profiles for build 3500 from the ftp, it added high-quality audio (is it _the_ A2DP?). I had BT 3900 by then, then reinstalled various versions after i-tech could not be found the second time.
Is it OK to install the extra profiles for build 3500 with 3900?
And, when you do get an audio profile and a hands-free one, how you differentiate -- say, you listen to music and receive a call?
Sorry braver, I misunderstood ...
What I've is :-
1. O2 Xda II
2. O2 Xda II Mini
3. i-Tech BlueCON
4. i-Tech Clip S35
5. IBM X31 (My Laptop)
And I played with them like this:-
(O2 Xda II Mini + IBM X31 + i-Tech BlueCON + i-Tech Clip S35)
I pair my Mini with Clip S35 with the Handsfree Profile. I also connect my BlueCON to my X31 (plug the audio jack of BlueCON to the audio output jack of X31) and pair my Clip S35 with BlueCON.
When I listen the music from my X31. My X31 send the audio output to BlueCON and BlueCON stream the audio data to Clip S35. So I can hear the music.
And when I have the incoming call on my Mini. My Mini connect to my Clip S35 so my Clip S35 stop the music from BlueCON and go to Handsfree Profile Mode. After the hang up the phone line, Clip S35 start the music again automatically.
==================================
For BA, I've seen from the forum but it's Thai language:-
http://www.pdamobiz.com/show_news.asp?NewsID=41062&PN=1
They said that they installed PDA2K_BroadcomCorp_BTUpdate.cab from xda-developers.com like you did and every was so fine.
Please try to check and let me know if there's what I can help.
(Also, don't forget, PIN for Clip S35 is 8888. It's not 0000)
I.tech S35 paired with WM2003 SE with Widcomm 1.6.0600
Guys, help.
I have a WM2003 SE unit with Widcomm 1.6.0600 stack and I just acquired an I-tech S35. I have the following things working:
1. Mp3 over bluetooth using Windows Media Player 9 and the high quality stereo profile.
2. Headset connection for outgoing calls.
I have the following problems:
1. with the mp3, I get interference or what I assume is interference. if I move around too much, the sound becomes choppy.
2. with the headset, I can't receive incoming call. when the call comes in, it doesn't get directed to my S35 even when it's linked via headset mode. I have to answer the phone directly from my XDA2. I tried linking the S35 with a Nokia 6600 and the incoming call is redirected perfectly well into the S35.
3. I can't get the S35 to work in "buzzer" mode, even when I pair it with a Nokia 6600.
4. I've tried calling out and the person I call always says that my call is very unclear.
Does anyone else have problems like this or has been able to resolve these problems? I could use the help or I'd be forced to sell this unit since it's practically useless to me with particularly with the second problem.
Thanks and best regards...

Hi wsabido168,
1. with the mp3, I get interference or what I assume is interference. if I move around too much, the sound becomes choppy.
Ave*: I don't think that I have the interference problem but the sound is not come out smoothly. I hear the noise like you cooking the pop corn around every 15 seconds per time. You should try to contact to the shop that you bought it and ask them to try with another one.
2. with the headset, I can't receive incoming call. when the call comes in, it doesn't get directed to my S35 even when it's linked via headset mode. I have to answer the phone directly from my XDA2. I tried linking the S35 with a Nokia 6600 and the incoming call is redirected perfectly well into the S35.
Ave*: Mine is not. I can receive the incoming call from S35. I feel like there's something wrong with your XDA II.
3. I can't get the S35 to work in "buzzer" mode, even when I pair it with a Nokia 6600.
Ave*: You can turn it on and off. Please check from the manual. It said that you need to press the button (I can't remember which one) to on and off the buzzer mode. (This problem may relate with your 2nd question, I just guest)
4. I've tried calling out and the person I call always says that my call is very unclear.
Ave*: This question may relate with the 1st question. Mine is clearly (I asked from the other side)
Hi Ave, first of all, thanks for the information.
May I ask what software you have on your system? for example, what bluetooth stack you're using and what version of the OS? Maybe I can reflash my OS to whatever you're using to get it to work properly.
Thanks and best regards...
wsabido168, you're welcome ... I've 2 of XDA.
The first on is my XDA II:-
ROM: 2.06.00 WWE
RADIO: 1.18.00
ExtROM: - (Big Storage)
Bluetooth Stack: Widcomm Bluetooth Stack 1.5.0.2000
The secound one is my XDA II Mini:-
ROM: 1.12.00 WWE
RADIO: 1.13.00
ExtROM: 1.12.119 WWE
Bluetooth Stack: Microsoft Bluetooth Stack
questions:
1. with the XDAII running Bluetooth Stack 1.5.0.2000, where'd you get the Bluetooth Stack 1.5.0.2000? how do I download and from where it?
2. when you're using Bluetooth Stack 1.5.0.2000, can your XDAII receive calls and automatically redirect it to your i-tech S35 even when you're playing mp3s?
3. with Bluetooth Stack 1.5.0.2000, do you have the profile for "high quality audio" with which to use the mp3s over bluetooth?
Thanks and best regards...
Winston

Answer 2
I think the answer is No,
XDA II has the Microsoft Bluetooth Stack installed from the manufacturing. It has Headset Profile but no A2DP (High Quality Audio) available. But if you want to have A2DP on XDA II, you need to install the Widcomm Bluetooth Stack.
The stack from Widcomm has A2DP and can be run on XDA II (but not work on XDA II Mini)
After you install the stack from Widcomm, you'll be able to listen MP3 using Clip S35, but if you want to use your Clip S35 to answer a call, you have to stop the Widcomm Stack and start the Microsoft Stack instead.
Microsoft Stack and Widcomm Stack can be run on XDA II but not the same time.
Answer 3
Yes, Widcomm 1.5.0.2000 has A2DP See Answer 1 for more detail.
Will it work on WM5?
I haven't try it yet but I don't think that it will work on WM5. I'm not so sure, still need someone in this forum to answer for us.
Do you know?, i-Tech has a A2DP software for Symbian OS. It's BluePlayer which I used to try on Nokia 6600. It's really cool because you will be able to listen to the music with high quality audio, also you can answer the phone call with this Clip S35 too.
I used to contact to them to asked for the A2DP software for my Magician. But the answer was they didn't have a plan to do it yet.
Has anyone managed to get Widcomm A2DP working with the headset profile?

On WM2003SE or WM5? With the former, I've used the A2DP profile with Zonet ZUB8100 stereo BT headphones to listen to MP3s. Works pretty well; no static until I get 5-10 meters from the SX66.
Haven't installed WM5 yet, and I don't intend to in the near future.
Hey guys,
Thanks to all the information from you guys, I have gotten it to work (A2DP and bluetooth with my S-35 headset and XDAII (installed with WM2003SE) but still have a problem with the fact that the Broadcom does NOT permit received calls to be redirected to the headset therefore giving it less functionality than if I were using a Nokia cellphone with this headset.
If anyone has a fix to this problem, please let me know.
Thanks and best regards...
Winston
Winston, I took a long time to search on the internet but nobody could give me the information to fix it.
Somebody said that the problem of Headset Profile from Widcomm Bluetooth Stack and Xda II is about the Audio Gateway and Wave Driver. The Wavedev.dll didn't redirect the audio output to Handfree Profile of Widcomm Bluetooth Stack. This is all that I know about.
Anyway, nice to talk to you. Feel free to let me know if there's somethings that I can help or what we can share.
Ave*
ok. thanks again Ave.

I'm on WM2003 Rom 1.40 with WMP10. I can get A2DP working as well, however headset doesnt work properly then (IE can't take calls on the headphones).
Also another annoying problem is that WMP10 turns off after 5 minutes (ie screen goes blank), this interrupts the A2DP session, and I have to reconnect.

Cingular 8125 and Logitech Ipod Bluetooth Headphones

Hi,
I followed all the instructions on adding a2dp to my ppc, I upgraded the rom,etc and ran the tornado thing. My 8125 sees the headphones and has the wireless stereo service, however, it does not actually connect to them as they even after I find the headphones theyt are still in discovery mode. Any ideas anyone.
I have exactly the same problem. I'll post the solution when I figure it out. I phoned iogear and they told me to set my 8125 to send the audio to the headphones instead of the speaker. Not helpful.
solution found
upgrade to the latest beta rom 225 and it should fix it
Sending all audio over bluetooth
Had similar problem when trying to send music from phone to the headphones. Found the tool, see attached, that has three small programs. There is a bit that has to be changed to tell the device to send all audio to the headphones, otherwise it just does it for phone calls.
The BTAudioOn forces the bit on. BTAudioOff forces the bit off. Just put them onto your device and run them directly. There is a also a toggle program, but it isn't intelligent. It does not query the system and toggle, but instead has its own tracker which gets out of synch.
Hope this helps. My apologies for not crediting the creator of the program, but I believe I found it at Microsoft's site.
Audio quality was very poor due to bluetooth on device. I tested with very old Cingular ROM. Have not tested with the latest 2.25 Cingular ROM to see if there is any improvement. Used Motorola's Stereo Bluetooth headset and also iPhone Stereo Headset with similar results.

Bluetooth Audio problems

Hello all, well recently I bought some Sony DR-BT20NX headphones under the impression they were the best, so onto the problems:
I'm using leos latest 0.5AKU WM6 Rom and when using them with the default Rom the bluetooth headset can control the music that is pause etc but the music plays for 1 second if that at the beginning of the song then its interference. Any ideas?
Using the Broadcomm stack included in the Rom that you can install after seems to sortany bluetooth problems involving audio but destroys the GSM and the radio crashes 9/10times on boot forcing a soft reboot.
Secondly I'm using on my PC/Notebook with a "Integrated System Solution Corp." Bluetooth dongle with BlueSoleil software provided, with this im able to control WMP like on my device, but I don't even get the second of audio - its completely dead audio wise apart from a dull hiss.
So after paying £60 I'm none the happier with bluetooth
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
Ok quick update, bluesoleil version 3.2 fails miserably at audio.
Using 5.0.0.0 now and it works.
Whats annoying is I have to pay for this update because they gave me effectively crippled software.
Ok so thats the PC side sorted, just WM6 to go.
Edit:
My USB stick came with version 2.x of the drivers, and when upgrading to 5.x it says the BDID of the bluetooth is already registered. Duh It came with 2.x, oh damnit now I can't get 5.x. Why would a company not want my money

Have you tried only WMP or other players on your Uni? Try CorePlayer and PocketMusic, they also support AVRCP.
P.S. Using a HBH-DS970, no problems with sound... Only problems with WMP sometimes
Had the same issue....installed Jetware Mobile's Handsfree extension and it works flawlessly!!! I use it on my Jabra BT8010 and its the best buy i've ever made!!

Do this and it will work just fine -
1. Install JET ware.
2. Start the utility, go to advanced options and check all relevant ones
3. On the main screen, click on "Turn on bluetooth". If it is already Checked, uncheck it and then re-check the option
4. Soft reset (Use PSShutXp or something which does a software reset. do not use the hardware reset button)
5. After restarting, make sure you freshly pair up your headset (Delete the previous partnership on your uni, and also do a factory reset on your headset)
6. Once paired, it should work just fine.
let me know if it works...also make sure you use the latest version (v1.31 i guess)

[REQ] Audio Stream via Bluetooth Handsfree?

Hi,
I am looking for a way to stream audio from the Touch HD to my Car. Unfortunately the cars built-in audio system doesn't support bluetooth. But there is that handsfree-thing, which works really great with calls. So I wondered, if there is a software solution that streams my music from the phone as "incoming call" to my car?
I've tried "acbToggleBT" and "BTASP" and both didn't work in the Car, but they did work with a bluetooth headset.
It would be really great if somebody knows, finds, posts, programs or has an solution.
Thanks in advance!

I can't remember but there was an option to route normal audio to the bluetooth handset in my HP iPAQ which is missing from HD.
Believe me music streaming to HSF device will be as good as listening to AM radio on poor reception. Go get a bluetooth A2DP profile audio headunit like Sony - MEX-BT2500 (this is the one I use and works like a charm).
Thanks for your reply.
Perhaps I took the wrong words to explain what I am looking for.
The thing I want is a piece of software that "imitates" an incoming call and sends the audio from S2P to the handsfree of my car.
Maybe this explanation is a bit better...?
[edit]
have you tried BT Audio
it's a paid app
acbToggleBT always worked for me
try this
There are 3 apps
btaudio on
btaudio off
bttoogle (on/off)
i made a cab file for it

Excellent. I can get this to work via bluetooth headset.
Unfortunatley this didn't work in my car (which is what I believe the OP wants).

All i can say is this based on using it on my HD with WM 6.1 & 6.5 (Dutty ROM):
Once you install the program and then execute it (Press On):
It will transfer all Music & Audio from Movies (Core Player) etc. to my BT Nokia Headset or my BT Car Speakerphone (Motorola T305), i do not have a Radio BT set so i can't tell you, you'll just have to try.
This Cab solved my problem as the basic BT HD ROM sertting only transfers the Phone audio while this little cab transfers ALL audio, so i would presume that it may help you with your BT radio, you can always uninstall the cab if it doesn't work for you.
There is NO emulation invloved here!!??
Good luck!
Hi Ausi, tried on my Nokia BT car handsfree but no joy
The handsfree only accepts an incoming call as stated above so some sort of emulation may be needed. Would be happy if someone knew about something...

Funny... my HD does the reverse. I get de BT audio but on the BT phone I got nothing but static...
I've got a Sony Xplod bluetooth radio in my car.
When I start up it automatically connects to my HD, however it only connects as handsfree rather than both handsfree and BT stereo.
I have to go into comms manager and bluetooth settings, then select and hold on the xplod in the device list.
A menu comes up asking what I'd like to connect as, and I pick stereo, then repeat for handsfree.
Give that a go. Holding on the device to bring up the menu gives you the BT profiles the device is capable of, so with a bit of luck stereo/headphones will be an option for you.

Listening to music wirelessly from my Artemis P3300

Hello,
I recently bought Jabra BT325s Bluetooth Stereo Earphones. I paired them with my Artemis P3300 phone and could make and listen to calls fine,
however I am not able to listen to music wirelessly. When my headset gets connected to the phone, the phone only give me one option "set as handsfree".
now i have read some threads in this forum that you should select the option "wireless stereo", however I do not get his option in my phone.
could someone please suggest some fix?
BTW, I have recently upgraded to WM6.5 version 02.69.90.
okay i think i have found the fix - "BT Music 1.0 Beta application", however this is an expired version and i had to roll my clock back to get it working but it worked
Anyways, if someone has some better fix or a permanent resolution or as a matter of fact a better version of BT Music which is free and has no expiry, please let me know.
Appreciate it!
