when connecting any "STEREO" headset i can't raise or lower volyme, it's always at max regardless of volyme onscreen.
probably this is due to new bluetooth drivers and hardware.
But if anyone got the same problem or solution plese post it..

Woo. U got the Rhodium too??
To answer your question, it's a well known issue w/ Broadcom stack. And there could poping sound issue as well if you have multiple program sending sound together (e.g. A2DP w/ coreplayer + Voice prompt w/ GPS program) <== Can you verify this.
I don't have Rhodium (maybe yet) but my Asus P525 w/ broadcom stack has this problem. Never heard any solution so far.
a2dp
yes, I can confirm the same problem: with A2DP the side keys do not work for volume setting (they set the system volume which is not coupled to the BT volume when having the WidComm stack).
the workaround is to have a media player with separated volume setting like CorePlayer, which works pretty fine for me
that aint the problem, the problem is that every time i connect the stereo headset it sets the volyme to max and i cant lower the volyme by any meens. (yes ive tried about 5 different brands of headsets)
BT vol
what do you mean by "any means" - which controls did you try? the sidekeys will definitely not work, as I stated above. only if the player has a separate volume slider, that'll do something.

i tried the hardware keys, htc volyme control and built in control of coreplayer.
coreplayers built in volyme works in 1 out of 3 times, and this is tried right after hardreset.
BT vol
well, CorePlayer volume setting works for me always - no matter if I did hardreset or not (and I'm quite a heavy user with Igo, Exchange MailSync, Opera, etc.). CP version is 1.3.2 build 6909.
(and my headset is SonyE. HBH-IS800)

Unfortunately, some stupid program like TomTom, IGO do not has this option...
BTW, do you folks encounter any "poping", or sound distortion issue when multiple programs (e.g. GPS + Coreplayer) trying to play sound together? It would be a deal breaker to me if it does...
distortion
did not have this scenario yet - I use igo in the car where I have a BT handsfree carkit which does not use A2DP. so igo announces everything on the own TP2 speaker, while calls are on the car radio.

When I use IGO8 and the audiomanager at the same time, the sound works for a while and than stops working. I Have to turn bluetooth of, soft reset and turn everything again. But the same problem happens again. Even trying to use WMP or HTCAlbum to watch videos and listen with a2dp the same problem happens again.
I dont know, but it seems that the bluetooth memory reaches a level and than it stops working. I dont Know. Any Ideas ???
Thanks
I have the same problems. It's really unpleasant !
So, i tried to install Advanced_Configuration_Tool_v3.3 and v3.2 to try configurate control volume, but the program doesn't work on my Rhodium...?!?

I'm using the hbh-is800 and experienced the same problem of not being able to control the volume which seemed to always be at max. this was especially frustrating as i quite like the tf3d player, but was forced to use other players with software volume control.
My makeshift fix was to edit the registry for the default volume of the tf3d player.
\HKLM\Software\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\Config
music_player_volumn default = 100
I lowered it to 30 and after a soft reset the volume on my hbh-is800 is now at a comfortable level.
i still can't change the volume on the fly, but a fixed comfortable volume is better than the original fixed max volume.

iam currently using latest rom from dopod and motorola 820, although the two earpiece have sounds it is only mono, can someone help to make it stereo? o recomend what rom to use, thanks
In order to have stereo audio on a Bluetooth device, you need a profile called A2DP, which is currently only supported by the latest Qtek Universal ROM at the moment:
ftp://xda:[email protected]_Updates/UNI_QTEK_13077_176_10900_WWE.exe
Dopod has not released a ROM supporting A2DP yet.
thanks for the help, God bless
No problem. Do let us know whether it works well or not.
it works, i have stereo sound, but need improvements, in a song the bluetoth stops 3 to 4 times when playing, the player dont stop its the motorola 820 that stops several times.
I did come across a post with a patch for the A2DP flaw the other day. It's somewhere on this site - do a search and see if you're lucky.
Found it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=46811&highlight=universal+a2dp
It worked for me for a little while so try it.
Hi,
I have used A2DP a lot with my JasJar the last 4-5 months, and had written a summary of my experiences with this "lag/stuttering"-issue in another thread here...I have copied the most essential of that text below...might be usefull info for you;
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It seems to be two major factors affecting this "stuttering"/"lag" (from my experiences at least...I have used A2DP a lot with my Universal...couple of hours every day);
1. Universal struggling outputting(RAM/CPU...or both!?)
One help here is to apply the registry "A2DP priority" fix (found it in the forums here...and so did richardlai).
Another is to close all programs before using it (I usually do not do this...I usually only do it in hindsight when I get the problem).
2. Signal between Universal and headset struggling (obstructions between Universal and headset, WiFi nearby, so forth)
I for example get this problem if I put my Universal in my trouser pocket (I know, I must have big pockets, and walk around, I get stuttering/lag occationally. If I then take it out, and hold it in my hand farily still when I walk...no stuttering. I have found, that when I walk, it is Ok to have it in my backpack/rugsack...then for some reason it very rearly stutters...so I usually do that.
But when I walk of the bus at work, and walk into the "campus" of my workplace, which is cramped with radiotransmitters (is norways largest Telecom company)...I get a lot of stuttering, and need to take it out of backpack, and hold it in my hand, at it gets a lot better.
In short: A2DP with the Universal works, but is sensitive to disturbance/obstructions/moving around...and to make it worse, it is also sometimes dependant of the Universal itself struggling with CPU/RAM. So you can not totally get rid of the problem...but you can do a lot to minimize it...I almost never experience it now...except in the campus-area at work that is.
I have BTW had the exact same problems before with Qtek 2020 and Qtek9090 (which I got hold of some "A2DP patches", when I had those devices). ...but I really had a LOT more stuttering with those two...so much so, that I never used A2DP with them on a daily basis.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I also wrote a short post on my experiences with the different stereo headsets I have...yes, they actually act a little bit different it seems (regarding resume/pause button, and how easy/automatic they "reconnect"). You can see it here; http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=47977
Hope this is of some help for you!
RonnyGydar: I came across your little summary a little while ago and have done the registry fix, but the problem still exists! Do you think altering the value in some way would help?
richardlai,
I added the registry value manually...found a reg-file (or was it a CAB-file!?) that supposedly should add it...but when I checked later the key was still not added in the registry?
So I added it manually.
BUT, I do still have the problem...but that seems to be radio interference/distance so forth...since when I hold JasJar in my hand and don't move it around, I NEVER have an problem. ...and actually fairly rearly when I have it in my rugsack/backpack.
With 1 or 2 exceptions...where it lagged "all the time"...but then a soft-reset cured it.
So if you have this problem with your phone lying in front of you on the table...then it really sounds like it is the JasJar/Universal that IS the cause (and not interference)...and yes then the registry hack should help.
BUT I have not done any real testing of the effect of it...I am not sure how much effect it really has...all I know is that I had a "lot of problems" with lag before...and now I almost never have it.
...I hate those "diffuse" problems...when it is impossible to measure in a "scientific" way that "this cures it", and "this do not"! :-(
Sorry about the "little help" I give here...but this issue is a bit "fuzzy"...I have gotten it enough under control to that it isn't a problem any more (during a 1 hour workout, I will typically get this gap/lag 0-2 times...and that is not a problem for me...at least compared to what I experienced 6 months ago, where I was lucky if I could hear 10 seconds without any problems).
The stuttering problem seems to be permanent now... Luckily I have a HP hx4700 (which has a Broadcom bluetooth module) and works perfectly with my Jabra HT620s. Anyone using an A2DP ROM other than Qtek? I'd like to try a different ROM to see if it would make a difference.
only a second of sound
i use the qstarz bt stereo headset (http://www.qstarz.com/products/bh-q392s.aspx) and it works fine for phonecalls, but when i set it for wireless stereo and start a media player (TCPMP, WMP, Pocket Player...) i mostly only get sound for one second and then it shuts up. the players keep playing, the buttons on the headset can pause, resume and change tracks but there is no sound at all.
i get full wireless stereo playback occasionally, but i can't figure out what differs from time to time.
i applied the above patch with no success. anyone has a thought on the matter?
Ariel.

I use the BT620s with my Qtek 9000 without much trouble. Here's the trick:
Assuming you have paired with succes. Set headset and BT OFF before starting.
Turn bluetooth ON
wait a second or two
Turn headset ON
wait another two seconds
Now go to BT settings, and connect the headset.
Wait for the little pling sound (the activesync sound ).
Now start Windows Media Player and play an MP3.
Using this sequence has never failed me
edit:
I use the latest OFFICIAL Qtek 9000 WWE ROM. (Without the ExtROM though ) And i did not use any patches regarding A2DP or Bluetooth.
this is what i tried, many times. i get the activesync sound, sometimes from the speakers, sometimes in the headset, but almost always only one second of sound afterwards.
i found that by pairing the headset to the universal by pressing and holding the green button on the headset untill the universal recognises (doesn't take long) gives better results.
pairing it by the instructions of the headset (putting it in discover mode, and then searching for a device with the universal) will give me the one second sound almost every time.

Well, this has ALWAYS been the sequence I use (and I don't think you can do it in any other way). The real problem here is either the buffer memory or processor load.

Then there is no A2DP problem, the only solution is to lower the overal systemload. Stop all programs you have running, disable every today plugin that need frequent updating (memory, battery meters etc.) Free up as much RAM as you possibly can. I have AT LEAST 16 mb RAM free when playing music via BT.
A couple nights ago, I was intent on getting my A2DP to work perfectly. I wanted clear, crisp, skip free music coming from my phone. Using this method, I have done just that. I'm not 100% sure all of the steps I'm including are necessary, but I've done this twice and it worked perfectly both times. Here goes!
Short way, But I'm not 100% sure it will work as well
1. Navigate to "LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Bluetooth/A2DP/Settings" in the registry.
2. Set BitPool to 48, MaxSupportedBitPool to 56, and Use Joint Stereo to 0.
3. Exit, soft reset
4. Tell me if it works well for you or not...
Long but guaranteed way
1. Download HTweakC, install
2. Go to bluetooth tweaks, set audio quality as "Excellent"
3. Install Sleuth255's A2DP Fix cab then soft reset
[By this point, the A2DP is crackly and may skip...so continue]
4. With the registry editor of your choice, navigate to the following:
LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Bluetooth/A2DP/Settings
5. Change the value of "Bitpool" to 56
6. Change the value of MaxsupportedBitPool to 56
7. Change "Use Joint Stereo" to 1
8. Soft Reset
9. Uninstall Slueth's A2DP fix
10. Soft Reset
11. Once again, open HTweakC
12. Change the A2DP quality to "High"
13. Soft reset
14. Enjoy crystal clear, skip free streaming music.
Also, if anyone can help me with an issue I've been having...Is there a quick way to set a pair of bluetooth headphones to automatically set itself as as wireless stereo without applying it each time in bluetooth options? I have a pair of BT620's if that makes any difference.
And
Is there a way to have WMP startup with my storage card's library by default? If not, is there a way to delete the library from My device?
Thanks! Hope this helps!
Has this technique eliminated the hissing aswell dude?
(No A2DP hardware to test sorry )
I have now done exactly as the "long" way said, and it did not take away the hizzing sound, (not with my plantronics pulsar 260 anyway)
so it is back to the drawing board!
thanks for sharing this Centurion, it is always nice to hear success stories..
but I would believe that the last step is the only one neccessary (htweakC)
too bad it didn't work for me.
The hissing on mine is definitely gone...I wish I could share it with you.
Hi, I just got my X01HT last week. May I ask which Windows Media/MP3 player program are you using to listen with stereo bluetooth?? I can't find the function in Windows media Player.
Thank you very much!
Hi, Pingubest
You can not use the function of stereo bluetooth on the default OS of X01HT.
In this case, you must apply cab files for the A2DP function or install WM6.
Using WMP...I've tested this 3 times on my phone now after 3 different flashes and it worked each time.

I don't see any logic for the steps 9-14?? Maby you soft reset to quickly or didn't save registry values properly. I usually wait a little the use the powerbutton to close down phone.
Step 5-6 I set to 52 (decimal!) and sound is great on HBH-SD970 and skipping never happens as long as there's not an object between the phone and headset. I'm running Black 2.5 on a Tytn.
Regarding the problem with the BT620, this seem to be ralated to that headset, I don't have that problem with HBH-SD970. Maby there is some firmware upgrade for your headset?

I think the stereo thing has to do with your headset also since my BT8010 works correctly also..
I concur Jompao, no problems with HBH-DS970's... no hiss and clicks nearly eliminated with Custel's latest 1236 build v1.2. Also sound with this latest release seems louder than the previous 968 builds. Save some battery power on my DS970's... sweet!
Cheers
A2DP
I followed the "long steps" and it doesn't work for me. I am using Samsung WEP200.
doesn't work on mt 8525. It just makes the skips worst!!!!!!
the new lwsv rom is quite intresting seen from a a2dp level, it made my headset work almost as good as widcomm stack, although with the advantages of ms stack !

Hi just to let you know "your way" - works BUT only if you DONT remove sleuth's fix - take it out and its all miss and no hits but leave it runnin and its gr8 .

I have perfect stereo sound! It's all in the BT headsets you use.
I use the Nokia HS-12W and HTC BH S100 and the sound is as good as it gets. NO BACKGROUND NOISE AT ALL.
It's about matching the A2DP specs of the headsets to the M$ software, and not the other way around.
My opinion only, for what it's worth.
Can anyone explain what the values of MaxsupportedBitPool and BitPool stand for? Are they kbps or decibles or something else? I understand changing the UseJointStereo to 0 turns off Joint Stereo, but i want to know what the BitPool stands for.
I have a Motorola HT820 and can play music through it with no problems. I changed the 2 bitpool settings to 48. This definately improved the quality, but occasionally it skips (very rarely). So are these higher numbers causing too much data to stream and you get a "buffer" type pause.
Also if I convert back to Joint Stereo, will that cause 1/2 of the data stream, since its basically mono. If I could stream at 96 kbps in mono, compared to 48 kbps in stereo, I would choose the mono. Mainly because of the sounds of the high frequencies. The bass and mids sounds great.
On a side note I found that turning my phone's and windows media players volume all the way up improves the sound. I use the volume controls on the HT820 to control volume.
Ok, I didn't get very far with this fix...
I downloaded and installed HTweakC, but when I run it I get an error; HTweakC.exe "Argument out of range Exception". I am assuming that the bluetooth tweaks are in this proggy?
I also tried the shortcut way, but I don't have "LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Bluetooth/A2DP/Settings" in the registry.
WTF did I do wrong here??
Any ideas?
I have
Cingular 8125 Wizard
G3 CID/SIM Unlocked
Rom Version: WM5SE rev 4.0 - WM5 without stylus but style!
2.26.10.2 WWE
IPL: 3.08
SPL: 3.08
Ok, One more thing...
I just went to my vehicle to play around some more and I found that when I have the BT stereo playing and a call comes in, the stereo is paused until the call is done and when it starts back up I either have no sound at all or it's skipping badly, but I went to the bluetooth device settings and held the click for the sub menu and then selected Set as wireless stereo, the audio straightened out and started playing fine again.
Could this mean the processor is too slow in the Wizard? Maybe if I overclocked it a bit that might help or am I just doomed to never have this work correctly?
Thanks again!
Can NO ONE answer my question above?
It looks like this thread is dead??
I really want to solve this audio skipping problem if posible!
Thanks

Magic!!!!
I have been battling with this for weeks. Finally something that works.
Many thanks for sharing that.
Guys, and you please test this ??
If you stream by a2dp two sounds like music from touchflo3d and voices from gps software or music from another program (like pocketplayer), the second stream lowers the volume of the first and the sound of the second stream comes very distorted !! I can not use music plus my gps software because the guidance voice comes too loud and distorced. Since the pro2 uses widcomm bluetooth stack you cannot adjust the output volume for the bluetooth device. Tested on several a2dp enabled receivers and all present the same problem. The second stream comes distorted .
Any help/ideas on fixing this is welcome.
thank you
the file responsible for the volume/gain/clipping is wavedev.dll
I need some expert help on lowering the gain !! it's there..
I can lower the volume by long pressing the Play Button on my A2DP Headset

Have you tried the setting in the BT stack to transfer all system audio to BT?
If this is enabled, try disabling and see if the GPS comes through the Rhodium speakers.
The volume level is annoying, I shall add this to the list of annoyances and required bugfixes, I am sure it can be enabled. Not all A2DP headsets have their own volume controls.
Cheers,
Beasty
thank you for the sugestion but already tried it. When 2 audio streams are played, the second has distortion, but not all second streams. The stock ringtones are ok and tomtom too but navigon is not and most of my ring tones. The moste simple test is pocket player + tf3d music tab at the same time. The second stream makes the pro2 audio stack make cliping due to the high gain on the second stream. Looking at Wavedev.dll you see the strings for "secondstream gain".
I tried some a2dp receivers and all shows the same problem.
I don't think that a simple reg will fix this. Googling for this problem i came across some ppl with the same problem some years ago
why don't you try it andd see it for yourself?
Thank you
I has this problem w/ my old Asus P525 (widcomm bt stack) as well. BTW, does TP2 will drop A2DP connection after phone call which exist on all HTC device w/ MS BT stack?
well i never suffered from that on any htc phone. Where a2dp keeps connected
I just paired a Sony bluetooth headset (HBH-IS800) with my Tilt 2 and the volume is quite loud when listening to music. I put media player sound volume down to 5%, apparently the lowest, and it's still very loud. The only other option at that point is going down to 0%, obviously too quiet :-|
Also, the main system volume slider on the side - no effect on the headset whatsoever. Whether it's maxed out or silent - the bluetooth headset is still too loud.
Does anyone have any recommendations on:
1) How to go between <5% and >0% volume on media player?
2) How to get the main volume control to affect the bluetooth headset volume?
3) Any other ideas on lowering the music volume overall? Maybe another (better?) music player could work? Maybe a reg setting I can modify?
Any advice is appreciated - the headset is so cool - I'd love to make it usable!!! - TIA!
-Fnortner
P.S. - I called Sony - their answer: "We don't support the headset unless it's paired with a Sony phone". Boo Sony!
I have the same problem with this headset.
I had it running on the Touch HD with volume control from the device works perfectly.
Is there any solution yet?
same volume control issue with BT8040
With both Media Player or PocketTunes, I am not able to alter the volume on the BT8040, either from the Tilt2, or the earpiece itself.
Never had this problem with the same earpiece and my original Tilt.
Same problem here
I have the same problem. I have a bluetooth set which I connect to FM transmiter. The problem is: Volume is all the way up so the music is horrible, it gets distorted. I'd like to know how to manage the bluetooth volume in the system settings, is there a way? Pushing the left buttons (system volume) wont affect bluetooth volume, neither any other volume control within the settings. Any help appreciated.
I have found a solution that works for me. I use Nitrogen Player and you can just turn the equalizer on and change the preamp level to close to the bottom. Works a treat for me.
Code:
Options -> Settings -> Equalizer.

I have a stereo BT headset, and whenever I pair it with my (tmo US) TP2, the phone throws up a standard "you have to adjust the volume from the headset, can't do it from the handset" warning...and when I do use the volume controls on the headset, the volume does adjust accordingly, but without any feedback from the phone (no volume slider or other indication), so the adjustment is obviously happening in the headset's circuitry, and the audio coming from the phone is at a static, un-adjustable level.
From the research I've done, the culprit is the sub-par Widcomm bluetooth stack in the phone, and I haven't yet found anyone who has engineered a replacement stack. I know the possibility exists (I upgraded the bluetooth stack on my Wizard a couple of years ago to get one that had the A2DP profile), but I just don't think anybody has made a replacement for this model yet

Thanks for the reply! My situation is backwards in the sense that the headset doesn't have volume controls - and what I seem to be finding is that there doesn't seem to be an immediate fix for controlling a headset from the phone. I did use a tool called "Advanced Config" to find a default music volume that I can change, so I lowered that from 100 to 50 and now the volume is at least comfortable. However I have no control over it yet....
Could these issues be due to USB 2.0 versus USB 2.1 ?
I got a Motorola H17 (USB 2.1) and everything works perfect. Have volumn control from phone and headset and all audio sources work fine.
Oooops. Meant Bluetooth 2.0 vs Bluetooth 2.1.

Thanks for the reply! My situation is backwards in the sense that the headset doesn't have volume controls - and what I seem to be finding is that there doesn't seem to be an immediate fix for controlling a headset from the phone. I did use a tool called "Advanced Config" to find a default music volume that I can change, so I lowered that from 100 to 50 and now the volume is at least comfortable. However I have no control over it yet....

Yes, for some reason, the BT stack in this phone seems to assume that all BT stereo headsets also have built-in controls on them and won't allow them to adjust system volume. I think we're probably stuck with that fact until somebody finds a BT stack to replace the TP2's native one.
The best workaround for now may be just to find and use a headset that does have volume controls. I'll be posting a review soon of the ones I have now, the Plantronics/Altec Lansing Backbeat 903's

So when you play music through it, you can control the volume on the handset itself, and with controls on the headset? If so, I'm guessing it's because that's a monaural (not stereo) headset, so it may not be the same volume. My headset has BT 2.1 on it, and while I can control the playback etc on the phone, the volume controls only adjust the headset volume, not the volume on the phone.

This may be true since it is only monaural. The volume control (on the phone) still controls the phone (thus the headset) while the BT control only controls the BT headset.

Good evening,
If it can help you with tcpmp-0. 72RC1 - GF5500Edition - Alpha4. 1 can adjust the volume of this famous helmet HBH-IS800 and it is easier than with nitrogene.
Good evening
Ichtus
if its is supported by only sony phones(BB storm too) then can we get the profile from a xperia and install it on another device
I have seen multiple people state they can adjust the volume both on their headset and on the handset asystem volume. I thought perhaps it was the BT stack EXCEPT I was able to do this as well before I did a hard reset now I cannot adjust the 2 volume controls independently. The handset volume is static. Will someone that can adjust the system volume with a headset compare settings/egistry entries with me?
Is there a way we can adjust the volume of the line out from the bluetooth connection, anyone, lately ive have noticed that most devices are doing this, dont want to revert to a old stack but there has to be a way to combine the headset volume with the bluetooth volume
I have a pair of bluetooth headphones and a bluetooth receiver in my car.
Once i pair either one to my Touch Pro 2, i noticed that raising/lowering the volume on my HD2 does not affect the audio what so ever(unless i put it on mute).
The music sounds very loud and distorted, and i cant control the volume either way...Anyone else run into this issue? How can i solve it?
That's normal. You need to adjust the volume at the receiving end.
I have the exact same problem. Not sure why as when I pair up to my speakers, the phone tells me it cannot control the volume, yet it worked fine on my "Touch Pro" (the 1st one) and my Kaiser. Not looked for a solution, because its not much of an issue for me really.

But the problem is that, the audio being streamed from the HD2 is so loud and distorted, that i have to turn it down(but i cant).
So even if i turn it down on the receiving end, the distortion is still there.
With my old samsung omnia, i was able to turn the music up or down from the phone...I dont understand why this isnt possible with the Touch Pro 2.
The music coming from my phone is unlistenable. The distortion ruins the audio. Which really sucks, because i spent $300 on a car reciever with bluetooth!
There has to be a solution! Come on XDA!
Try turning it down on the phone first? Or get a player that uses it's own volume control instead of the system volume (I believe Mort Player and Nitrogen will do this).

Same problem here!!!
No volume control at all on TP2, and volume of music cant be changed through the system volume control either
I have a bluetooth connection to my motorcycle intercom system. I had the same problem, sort of.
I installed Conduits Pocket Player, and use the equalizer to bring down the level of the Bluetooth. That worked well enough for what I needed to do.
I read somewhere else on the forum here that this issue is attributed to the Widcomm Buetooth stack on our phones. Whenever I connect my headset to my phone or my laptop, I receive a warning that the volume must be adjusted on the output device, and cannot be adjusted on the phone/computer. It may be related to the poor support for AVRCP.

ok, so it seems that this wincomm bluetooth stack or whatever SUCKS. You're right....I guess the only work around i guess is a player that doesnt use the system volume, like coreplayer.
Coreplayer is great for movies, but for playing mp3's i would prefer Slide 2 Play.
Havent tried nitrogen yet though.
Does a mp3 player exist that is similar to slide 2 play, but doesnt use the system volume of the phone?
I too am not able to use many of the bluetooth audio accessories such as my jabra headphones, desktop speakers and my indash audio system. None of which work as they did with my Kaiser. This was supposed to be an upgrade to my Tilt and it doesnt even support the OLD protocals that were common 2 years ago?? Im seriously considering switching to blackberry. Anyone intrested in a nearly new Tilt 2. Goodbye htc (high tech crap)
THis is a problem with the bluetooth stack, just email HTC so they can get a patch for this. or microsoft because they are the ones that control what stack it gets.
this Goes for the HD2 and others too
