WMP closes when Orbit powered off

I finally bit the bullet and did the headphone Mod (as described somewhere on this forum; basically soldered my sony fontopia earbuds onto the PCB of the microphone/volume slider).
It works beautifully, and I am finally happy with Orbit as a complete package; my soldering skills are pretty poor, but it was very easy.
Now my question is, how come Windows Media Player shuts down when I power off the Orbit (unlike teh FM radio which keeps playing)? I am sure that on my old Exec (and Ipaq 4150) WMP kept playing... is there a setting I am missing, or a hack to fix this?
Thanks in advance...

Facing the same problem and thats the way Orbit is designed. Trying to find the solution for this but no luck so far. Could someone please help...

when you put the device on standby wmp will stop.
in the options you can assign any key to toggle the screen to switch off... saving battery life.
hopes this helps!

Bluetooth Stereo Headset Problem

Hi all
As this is my first post I just want to say a big thankyou for all the contributers to this site, awesome information and keep up the good work.
I have been running Black Majik on my M3100 for a week or so now and have been really impressed. the only slightly annoying problem I have is with my BT Stereo headset (HTC BH S100) which I have had only a couple of days.
Listening to music and controlling the media player(s) (Audio Manager and WMP) is fine, the problem I get is answering/initiating calls from the headset. After a reboot of the phone, the headset works OK for both music and calls, but after turning the headset off/on, the call handling functions don't work although wireless stereo does - its as though the phone loses the headset profile but not wireless stero. Stopping/Starting the BT stack from comm manger seems to reinstate the headset functions but this is frustrating!
I have searched multiple forums but have not found anything of use yet!!
Does anyone have any ideas
Thanks in advance

same problem

please help us

Up ... Same WM6 version, same problem ... with a Nokia BT Headset, and a Sony Ericsson too ...
Thank you.

guess i have a worse problem then. cant hear my phone ring from my BT HS. not that ive tried to figure it out. i can live without listening to music. but it would be interesting to know how everyone is able to hear their phone ring from their headsets. im thinking its because of my headset. i have a moto hs810. does anybody concur?

I have the same problem and I've tried a P3600 and kaiser and the same problem.
As merlynuk wrote the problem seem that the HD lose a free hand function of it profile and only a reset and sometime a pairng od device solve it.
It's for me important to use this function in car or call a voice command but the MTB button seem not work.
bought this HD because belived it would be perfect with a HTC PDA but it's not really.
Do you have some suggestion ?
Do you believe it's better to sell this HD and to buy another ?
Someone know a HD device thet work perfectly as free hand and function as a call, a start a vocal command etc etc work fine ?
Regards
aladino

got the same problem: bought the HTC BH S100 after my touch cruise cause I thought to have no problem with vocal commands, but it doesn't work. music, player control, phone and pairing are perfect but no vocal dialling..
how can we solve this??

Help:bluetooth Headset Work Fine With The Phone But Not With Wmp Or Tcpmc Player

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.

Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970 - music skips

I have posted this at the sony ericsson site but got no reasonable replies.
I have P3600, WM6, ROm 3.00.707.17. i paired it with my SE Bluetooth headset. when i play music, it skips every 20-30 seconds, and then after 10-15 min play time, it skips even more.
i repaired it several times but still same problem. anyone has problem playing music via BT and/or with this particular SE headset.

thanks! i just installed A2DPfix, yet it still skips.

NO more skipping after 20 min of play. YAY!

hi again,
after i installed A2DPFix a month ago, my music has been playing without much skipping until recently. i do not know what changed, but it skips 3-4 times in the beginning of each song. it's sporadic, sometime it skips and sometime it does not.
i have been reading more about A2DPFix.cab here, some people claims it works while others not 100%.
then someone suggested to use pocket player 3.5 and other music player. i am currently trying this new S2P music player
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-s2p.html
this seems to work without skipping except i can not pause, forward and backward using my BT remote headset with this music player. also, i my BT remote does not work with pocket player 3.5.
i am using a SE HBH-DS970, can someone explain to me why the remote for this BT headset only works with window media player and not other music players.
it would be great if i can someone make the remote works with the new S2P player because it DOES NOT skip and it's free.
thanks!!

you are correct, once in a while when i either restart my mobile phone or headset, still it's a pain and frustrating.
i would really like to know why the SE headset functions (pause, next song, previous song...etc) doe not work with other music players.
i saw the HTC audio manager player and i wonder if this will work with my SE headset?
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-htc-audio-manager-v1-2-515-718.html
would someone please shed some light here as to why my SE headset only works with window media player that comes with the phone (HTC P3600)

Use the HTC AudioManager its easy to handle. WM give me and to the most other
the Database/playlist error.
The buttons works fine with them. I Use only this.
Heard that mortplayer (or similar) works too.
Greets

Pair the device with the phone from the phone, and not let the headset connect automaticly.
In other words:
1: Turn OFF bluetooth on the phone
2: Turn ON headset
3: Wait for a few sec
4: turn ON bluetooth on phone
5: Press and hold on the headset name in the device-list and choose connect or whatever it's called
Now you shouldn't have skipping. (Untill next time...) - Or change rom.

i did what you suggested,
1. turn off bluetooth on the phone
2. turn on headset,
3. wait a few sec
4. turn on bluetooth on the phone
5. press and hold on my headset and choose connect? press and hold does not seem to give me that the "connect" option
anyway, i do 1, 2, 3, 4 and then for
5. i press my headset which connects to my phone
i connect three separate times and it has not been skipping every time.
i guess i am very curious as to why this particular sequence makes a different. any one knows at all????

Hehe! If you search bit, and find threads I've been involved in, you'll se a solution for this problem that I posted out for a long ago... Don't ask me how I managed to debug this, but god damned I was proud Hehe!
But why it works, I don't know Hehe! I guess there is some sort of buffer-error going on when connecting the normal way

Thats the only way to work. If the connection is Initialized by the headset u will have
the skip effect. Its a known bug.

hi again,
i was about to update this thread. i have tried this 3-4 times now per your instructions, and it seems to work every time. THANKS!
i am really happy this works, as i was getting very frustrated with it, and i appreciate your reply.
nevertheless, i am still curious as to why this particular sequences work. i am hoping someone else would enlighten me here.
thanks again !!

Additional reason
From my experience, I did have this same problem as you guys, but I found another thing that really caused the music playback to skip.
Over here, I've actually purchased a counterfeit Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970. I had bought the counterfeit first, and Sony gave me an original for free.
I found that the copy (fake, but in every way looks like the original, except it feels a bit flimsy) tends to skip. I obviously didn't know it was a fake, and I had taken it to Sony to get it fixed. Sony took one look at it and gave me coffee and asked for details of the dealer who sold this counterfeit. Then, Sony gave me a free original set, just for my help.
Based on my use of both sets, I can safely say that the counterfeit skips, the original doesn't. Wish somebody can explain to me why this happens.

Well, I think what you mean is that the counterfeit skips on your device with your rom, while the original does not skip on your device with your rom
(Since the original one skips as much as a counterfeit one on other trinity-devices
This skipping is most likely caused' by some sort of buffer settings - which seem to be individual from devicetype to devicetype.

Sorry if I make some mistakes...
I've the same problem with my BT Plantronics...
It depends only from the ROM
I haven't any problems with WM5, but some coocked WM6 have this problem, now I am with this and everything works fine...

Best blue tooth headset.

Anyone to recommend a good Bluetooth headset, a set with music controls 3.5mm jack for your own earphones and a display that would display the id3 tags or file name. Of course be able to answer calls.
I'm using a Nokia one at the moment but its not very responsive, dunno if its because of the old Bluetooth 1.0 compatibility.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App

Sony MW600.

Thanks for the recommendation, so I bought a set after reading positive reviews. Connection was easy and very quick and responsive. But one fault is that the phone itself starts ringing on incoming calls the and some signals through the headset. Weird doesn't happen on my old slow unresponsive BT headset (Nokia) at least the phone didn't ring just signals through the headset bit embarrassing when your phone goes off and you answer on a BT headset.
Any settings that could fix this?
I have resetted BT pairing and the headset but still same.
Anybody use this with wildfire?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire

Are you using any custom roms? I remember that cyanogen rom has some options about ringing in headphones, if I am not mistaken.
Also, did you test it on another phone to see if it's behaving the same way ?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App

I am using Wildpuzzle 0.8. Checked media and phone audio is connected. Have tried it on a Nokia and same thing happens. Can the headset be updated or something? My way round is to mute the phone when I connect the headset but this is so inconvenient when sometimes I forget to reenable sound.

Try this: Do a nandroid back-up and flash CM7. See if the problem still persists.
If not... I`m out of ideas. Maybe try to get a refund?

I have read many threads with same complaint, now realising It's a feature of most new smartphones (dunno whether its just android or not) that phone always rings with Bluetooth headsets just in case for some reason you take out your earphones for some reason.
I'm a little reluctant to switch to cm7 waiting for it to be stable first.

I think it`s normal for a phone to ring via the speaker even with the headset connected. Maybe they just need to add an option for it.
I meant testing CM7, not switching to it completely. A 30 min job to test CM7 and restore nandroid.

Hi
Just got the MW600 as well, very pleased so far.
I have the same issue, phone is ringing as well - whereas it does not really bother me.
There are few things not working well for me, so I was hoping to find here some feedback:
- No Song titles are displayed (not so bad since it is normally clipped in a position where you can not easily check
- the call-button does not work to call somebody, only to take a call
- the play button does not automatically start playing HTC music - but worked with Winamp and Songbird
Any suggestions ?

Original Rom (l have 2.2.1 nie) have Sound quality issue over a2do. HTC support said, I must wait for next update (when they may be fix it)

I'm having an issue with my Plantronics 903+ Bluetooth Headset. They pair and play's music fine , but it cuts out quite alot if i move about. Honestly if I have to sit still I may as well get wired headphones.
I am CM nightly's (71) with the latest radio flashed.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello,
i use Jabra BT3030
http://www.productwiki.com/jabra-bt3030/
3 years of working, without any problem

Ok, I really start to like the SE MW600 a lot
If you get a call music stops and you can take the call with one button.
Double tapping the call button re-calls the last person you phoned - works good as well.
But I am still not having the ideal media player
Original HTC music player fails to start up automatically when you tab the music button
- but next song/pause works well
Songbird opens automatically, next song/pause/... works well but searching in a track not and it is rather heavy making the phone really slow
Winamp is probably the best, but I still think it is too heavy
Does anybody knows a good light media player with bluetooth support ?
