Stock ROM - trying to play some music through wired headset. Using an ordinary pair of headphones (Sennheiser), the sound is great, ordinary sound.
I plugged in my Bose on-ear headset (i.e. phones plus inlike mike) and the sound is weird - sounds like it is being played through a cavern, the treble has disappeared, some bass elements of the sound are emphasised and there is a strange reverberation, as I say, like it is being played in a cavern or echoing around a vast cathedral.
If I change the headset, everything is fine again.
Is there some way I can make the Jasjar work with the Bose headset, or is there something unique to the Jasjar's line out socket?
(The Bose headset works fine with every gadget I have).

Weird sound with Bose headset // Different port assignment
Hi rjstep3,
don't know if you still need an answer to this topic... As far as I know, headsets and Jasjar/Universal is a bit tricky... The assignment of each port for headphone (2 ports for left and right) and microphone (additional port) is different from the assignment of Bose's headset.
The only adapter for HTC Universal that seems to use the correct assignment I have found here:
www .ppctechs.com/HTC-Universal_439/accessories/3.5mm-to-2.5mm-Mic-3.5mm-Audio-Headphone-Adapter_374-356 .htm
I have not tried it out but at least from the comment on the site it seems to be a work-around.
Greetings,
Christian
you're right - I no longer need a reply to this message, as the Jasjar is now finally consigned to the delete bin of my gadget life.
thanks for coming back anyway - and interesting reply. Why can't companies use the same pinouts and ports and make it all standard and easy to use?
thanks

What are people's opinions on BT (or indeed non-BT) headsets for the Universal?
Specific functions I'm looking for are:
Making/receiving calls (using the voice-calling thingy)
Playing music (and forward/back/etc functions)
I've tried the Bluetake 420EX but it keeps losing the BT pairing.
The Plantronics Pulsar 590A looks good...
What else have people tried that would work sufficiently with the Universal?
Cheers,
Ferg.

Haven't tried any but would like to...
I bought these today:
http://www.sonorix.com/eng/product/product_obh0110.php
Initial impression: Build quality is good, fits well on my ears, uses the same charger as the HTC (mini-USB... so I only need to bring one charger !)
Pretty good so far.
It's charging now...
I'll write up a full review soon !
I'm very curious about how these work out for you.
Did you have to install the A2DP profile?
I'm very curious about how these work out for you.
Did you have to install the A2DP profile?
I don't know yet...
Isn't the A2DP not yet available for Jasjar ?
If it is, someone tell me about it so I can test it !
Thnaks inkaris, only most of these things don;t have a dongle or a microphone so wouldn't be much good for the Universal!
A2DP isn;t out for the HTC machines yet but apparently it might be coming soon... or something.
So the Sonorix thing comes with the 3.5" dongle? That might be worth a try then. Cheers.
F.
No dongle, comes with a USB bluetooth, charging cable, the headphones, and a few other things.
It charges through USB which is great since I can bring one charging cable with me instead of two.
However, I tested it with my Jasjar today, and even though I have it paired with the Headset profile, I can't get Media Player to send music to it !
Help !!!
That's kind of what I was getting at Ikaris... the Jasjar has no compatible BT profiles. A2DP is what it needs to send stereo music to the headphones, which is why the JJ needs one with a dongle to plug into the 3.5" socket.
Just have to wait for the Plantronics Pulsar 590A to come out end of this month (or Orange to come up with a new ROM, which will probably be a loooong wait)
F.
Hey, I'm find with mono for now !
I just don't see why I can't get Media Player to work with Headset...
The phone works fine with HandsFree for phone calls...
and I've used HeatSet on my laptop to stream music through Bluetooth.
On other Pocket PCs, where do you set where Media Player will send its signal ? (i.e. speakers, bluetooth headset, bluetooth A2DP, etc...)
Thanks !
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
I am doing some nice commute at the moment (170 mile round trip) every other day and have loaded some podcasts onto my nice Touch HD phone. At the moment I have one 3.5mm jacked headphone bud in one ear to the listen to them with the bluetooth earpiece in the other for the phonecalls I get.
The HD will stop the music when a call comes in on the headphone side but I would like to get a BT solution to listen to the podcasts and still answer the phone and talk without having wires everywhere!
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Looks like I am being a div! I couldn't see anything on the SD9 site which mentioned a microphone!
So, any recommendations for bluetooth headsets!!
Regards
Most bluetooth "stereo" headset can function with both headset probile and music profile.
I myself is using iTech Clip Radio. I have it connected using music profile for listening to stereo music most of the time. When call comes in, it will switch to headset mode automatically and ring in the earpieces. You can answer call by pressing a button on the clip.
The good thing about this and why it is popular because its earpieces can be disconnect from the clip. You can replace it with any 3.5mm standard earpiece. The mic is built-in to the clip.
The bad, it is not completely wire-less as Motorola HS820. You still need wire from the clip to the earpiece. The included earpiece has shorter cable, but still annoying sometimes.
Not sure if it is availble in your region. iTech bluetooth stereo headset is very popular in South East Asia region.
I've recently got a Tritton AX BlueStream:
http://www.trittontechnologies.com/products/TRIBH102.html
It's similar to the iTech clip in functionality, but the main reason I went for it is that it charges over mini-USB so you only need to carry one charger cable...
It's also £20 off here: http://www.cooleststuff.co.uk/WsProduct.asp?sessid=160913654720&CWDCSID=3770&BPID=4602
BT STEREO is GREAT .. but newer ROMs lock it to WMP
I have the i-tech r35 clip and love it. What is nice is that is has PREV Play/Spot and REV D-pad. With Tcpmp these can be programed. I don't go backwards so I set the "prev" key to skip 10 seconds... that way I can speed through the commercials and anouncements of the podcasts.
Unfortunately since I flashed a newer ROM, anythime I press any button on the CLIP the Audiomanager is launched. I want to use COREplayer. Anyone know how to disable AudioManager form automatically coming up? Thanks!!
I propose You the set Bluetooth sony ericsson DS-220. You have the possibility of connecting to him any receivers. The very good solution.
Try Motorola HT820. I use it on my Wizard and have't noticed any problem.
I use the sony DRBT21G. they include a built in battery have a microphone. links very well with windows mobile with a audio players and with the phone software. it rings through the headphones also. they are extremely comfortable. tbh I think they are a perfect solution. my favourite gadget when it comes to my diamond. well apart from the diamond itself.

Jaybird JB-200
I just posted this http://www.jaybirdgear.com/ in another thread and same as I said there just havent been able to suck up and lay out the cash yet. However, just about every review of them says they fit the bill very nicely.

Bluetooh would be the best feature for this particular reason....yay!
maybe you should try out the Plantronics Pulsar (590A or 590E)
its a stereo headset using either bluetooth or a 3,5mm plug. but using a cable you can only listen to music...
the 590A comes with a small bluetooth sending unit so use with every mp3 player with a 3,5mm port
i'm using mine with my htc kaiser on the go, battery lasts for about 12 hours. theres also a charging cable for usb ports, a cradle, a wall plug and a carrying case with included.
The soundquality is very very good in stereo mode, if you receive a call, it stops the music and switches the bluetooth profile to handsfree device.
You can controll your music player on your touch hd and also activate voice dial etc.
it's even better to use it at home with the pc and skype best combination
Hi
I'm a new user with an Excalibur which I bought second hand the other day and generally am fairly impressed with. I have had it unlocked and bought a 4Gb microSDHC Card and upgraded to 6.1 using Kavana's ROM remade by Ricky.
I do have one small problem though, the A2DP is sounding scratchy whenever I use it to play music. It's not like an interference scratchy, but the highs of the music sound clipped and very scratchy, especially noticable at the higher volumes which I am having to use because the volume also does not go especially high, but it's present but softer at the lower volume levels.
I'm using Coreplayer but have the same experience with WMP or in fact any audio application I use. The files are fairly good 320kbps encodes in MP3 and AAC which sound excellent on the computer and I have tried a variety of files as well as some Youtube streams, all with the same results.
The headset is a Sony Ericsson DS-200 which is the dongle type headset where you can plug in your own headphones. The headset and headphones combination again sounds excellent when paired with a Sony Bluetooth walkman and an old SE mobile phone with A2DP.
I'm guessing it might be drivers, or something? I have ordered a wired headphone adaptor but would really like to use A2DP if possible.
Finally, if this is fixable, is there any way to boost the volume? My headset does not have a volume control, but the Coreplayer etc. volume control adjusts the volume - it just doesn't go very high and I can imagine it wouldn't drown out, for instance, public transport noise.
Thanks in advance
Hi
Sorry, should have really done a search! I found this:
http://www.htcwiki.com/page/Tweaks+and+Hacks?t=anon
and tweaked the registry settings and it's sounding considerably better now. Unfortunately it seems to have introduced a bug where the wireless stereo headset icon no longer appears, all that appears is the standard headset icon (the one with the microphone on it) but A2DP is working so I can live with that!
thanks for the link, Ive seen this tweak in other forums but this one the directions were way easier to follow.
hi, I have been searching all day on google and XDA and found no solution so any help would be much appreciated, also apologies if i have missed a solution.
i have a touch diamond and two a2dp headsets that have a 3.5mm output. i want to connect both headsets to my touch diamond so that music plays on both, is there any way to achieve this? i dont mind if one just becomes a slave device and is "stupid" as it were, merely recieves sound. i am not interested in the microphone function of the heatsets either, purely to listen to sound through both.
the reason for this is i have both headsets inside ear defenders which my pillion and i wear on my hovercraft. each headset works fine when connected individually.
many thanks
Ed
