Ok so this is not the only phone that I can see that is wireless everything but does not support A2DP so you can listen to the mp3 player wirelessly??? I have seen that some have updated other units (MDAIII) to use a BT stack from broadcom and I was wondering if it is possible to do it on the sp5? I am guessing that using the broadcom stack does not require BT 1.2 but I am not sure what stack the sp5 is using and where I would get the updates. I am also reading that most that have done an update have mention static if they move around?? Why then would you need BT if you cannot move?? Is this then the V1.1 causing the problem and why it should be on 1.2?? :?
More info
Ok so I have asked the question about the sp5 & sp5m about A2DP so you can use stereo bluetooth headphones that include player controls and I found some answers.
A2DP only fully works on Bluetooth V1.2 and these units only V1.1. I have seen that some people have installed some third party BT stacks on there BT V1.1 units to get high quality stereo profiles but they do not have player control. Also it may not even be A2DP it may just be a facsimile but more interesting it may be A2DP. When looking at the specs of phones it says Bluetooth V1.1 but does not say which silicon (Chip) is in the unit which is very important because the chips are backwards compatible. Meaning it may be V1.1 but the chip maybe able to run V1.2 because the manufacture just put in V1.1 stack and rom. So we should all be not asking about new stacks and upgrades but first ask which chip is in the units and if it is a V1.2 compatible, then we should start demanding rom and stack upgrades now. As for the chips the V1.2 and more chips have been out for at least 2 years so the manufactures cannot say the release of them postdated their own development date unless they have been hand building the units for the last year and that gave them one year to test.
Well can someone please tell me which or who’s BT chip is in the sp5 and sp5m
You will also find that Microsoft have not written support for this yet into the OS
Funny about the support because for what i know HP ipaq work just fine on A2DP along with other MS units so sombody must be supporting the headphones because there are sure alot of them coming out in the next few months.
HP probably wrote their own drivers.
The chipset should be BT 1.2, and just needs a ROM update
I combed through the TI website, and all the BT chipsets that are used with the OMAP 850 chip(in the Tornado devices, like imate SP5M, etc) are showing BT 1.2 as their spec. I don't know why it's not included, but I know that MS has promised to but out a A2DP update in Spring 2006, so maybe we will see a ROM update from i-Mate/HTC, etc at some point. I know that it is possible, or someone could build/hack their own stack. It least we know it is possible, hardware wise.

I'm afraid that a 200MHz CPU will not be fast enough to support A2DP.
I'm using A2DP on my XDAII, it REALLY slow down the entire system. That's one with 400MHz CPU! not to mention a 200MHz.
where'd you get a2dp for xda2? been searching the site and the internet for this...

My XDA II is using 1.62c.07CHS of WM5, which seems to have A2DP built in, even not necessary to install any BT Addon.
You can find more information here: http://www.buzzdev.net/
interesting...i've upgraded my xda2 to wm2005 as well...just have to check if this is the same rom. thanks for the info
ok, do you know where I can get the 1.62c rom in ENGLISH?
some news on qtek rom with a2dp and push email. looks like it may come in feb. if anybody has qtek membership could they check for details.
thanks

I have a T-mobile MDA using the Qtek Test Rom and i use the plantronics Pulsar headset audio quality sounds better than an ipod. I can hear deep bass. I think it is just stupid that HTC hasn't been putting A2DP on the AKU 2.0 update stating it slows the phone way down, etc. I use A2DP while at the gym so, i am not needing to write an email while using it. Well I guess to each there own.
I've got the Qtek Wizard test rom and use it to listen to music on my martian-looking Pulsar 590s, and it slows the bam thing to a crawl. Can't really do anything at the same time.
Bummer really, cos it's not that slow a CPU, just damn sh1t-slow software...

Well... I believe there is some kind of data compression mechanism in A2DP protocal. The problem is, maybe some devices have hardware (chip) to do the compression, and some devices let CPU do the job. And I think our Tornado would leave this nasty job to CPU, so it can slow down the phone a lot: COME ON! It's realtime data compression! This job is not suitable for a 200MHz CPU! It's cruelty to CPU.... :twisted:

Hello!
How this BT Manager works?
I'm using BlueSoleil BT Stack, and it works good, but sometimes it is not stable, and there are things that I cannot understand in it. And that is less graphical than yours.
So? Is it a stack for beginners with fancy graphics, or for intermediates with better graphics than Bluesoleil?
vijay555,
Good prog, but the message Please turn off Flight Mode first! sometimes appears.

Vijay? Is that your application, or is that the Bluetooth Manager ripped off of a Eten or Dopod ROM? Hell, if it's your application, I would sue Eten for using it (unless they buy from you?)
Just my thoughts, anyway
Cya
moghisi101: as it says in the bit of text you quoted, it's nothing to do with me, it's ripped from the Eten rom. Someone needed a bluetooth manager so I posted it up. But Eten can pay me if they want to, but I guess they'll sue me first!

bt manager
i'v installed the manager here and its nice and all but it still a crappy one
if anyone got a bt manager the does :
1. you can see which bt device you are connected 2 and can connect/unconnect.
2. you can unpair/pair device
3. you can actually explore the divice files (like i can do with the samsung z300 i got)
it will be very helfull indeed
Does it contain A2DP?
Hi Vijay555,
I am still very poor as far as modifications on my XDA mini are concerned... I tried the bluetooth stack in the other thread, with no success (I know now that my german ROM is too old, I own ROM 1.12.01GER with Radio 1.12.00).
O2 Germany does not offer update to this version.
All I would like to do is listen to my music on a bluetooth stereo headset, which isn't working without a modification of my bluetooth components...
Can your bluetooth manager help me ? Does it deliver A2DP to my XDA mini ?
Thanks for your reply in advance,
No, I'm afraid not... but didn't you get drivers with your bluetooth headset?
Have you tried the MSI BluePlayer?
V
Hello Vijay555,
thanks for your quick answer. I did not try this yet, also there are two version of this player:
On their website the say one is for WinCE 4.2, one for WinCE 5.0...
Are those different to Windows Mobile 2003 SE (which I have), resp. which one can I take and what is the risk with it ?
Thanks a lot in advance for your help,
yours sincerely,
Windows Mobile 2003 SE is based on WinCE 4.2, so go for that one.
No risk with it, but as it's a relatively big program, I'd recommend taking a quick backup before installing, just in case.
However, it can be deleted ok. It's an interesting app, it enables stereo bluetooth... however, I think it still needs to be hacked. But try it, and let us know if it works on your set.
V
Dear Vijay555,
thank you once more for your support.
I just installed the WinCE 4.2 File, and the programm runs stable, as well as the rest of my XDAmini...
So now, I will have to buy a bluetooth stereo headset....
But which one ? Do I have to watch out for something special (specifications, manufacturer etc.) ? I would appreciate also taking telephone calls with this headset, but this is not a must...
Thanks in advance for your help on this topic, I 'll keep you updated about the progress I will face...

Very informative. Thanks a lot!
Great overview!
Any word on a Media Player (or plugin for Windows Media Player) to display titles on the display of a Nokia HS12w?
I can confirm that voice dialing using the HS12w works with the Cyberon software as well (my TyTN came with this installed). Jetwaremobile has a new beta software to show the name of the caller rather than the number; I'll have to try the latest beta (1.25), as I was unsuccesfull with previous versions.

Several new Plantronics Pulsar 260 reviews published
It was over a month ago that I’ve published an all-in-one comparative review & compatibility report (available HERE) on three A2DP (stereo Bluetooth) headphones. Now that the headphones have also arrived at the U.S. too (at last, something we Europeans got way earlier than you Americans ), a lot of reviews have surfaced on well-known headset / headphones manufacturer Plantronics’ new Pulsar 260 also featured in the above-linked roundup.

Unfortunately, as has been emphasized numerous times by me and a LOT of other mostly XDA-Developers and HowardForums users (I really recommend following the BT & A2DP-related posts in these two forums, there are some very knowledgeable people there; for example, Fire Dragan in the latter forum), the current state and implementations of the A2DP standard are far from perfect and interoperability is REALLY reduced. This means on paper A2DP-capable headphones are not guaranteed to co-work with any A2DP sources. An example of this, in addition to the major sound quality problems with the MS BT stack, is the constant reconnection problems (resulting in annoying beeps and pauses) with the Nokia 5300. And, of course, the sound quality issues...
This also means you WILL want to read my review & comparison. Believe me, no matter what some people state, these headphones deliver REALLY BAD sound quality when used together with the Microsoft Bluetooth stack coming with almost all current Windows Mobile-based devices (except for the Acer models, the HP iPAQ’s (including the hw6915) and the Fujitsu-Siemens T830). I’ve also elaborated on these issues in this PPCT thread – it’s REALLY worth giving a read to see why I state they are incompatible with the stack. You’ve been warned – don’t come telling me you’ve shelled out $50…$100 for a really bad-sounding pair of BT headphones because I haven’t warned you
OK, the new reviews, packed with photos:
The Gadgeteer review
GearDiary review
Digital Trends review
CTIA 2007 Blog post; related PPCT thread
BTW, upon the European release of the 260, Plantronics still didn’t have the promised and, in the leaflet accompanying the headphones, referenced online documentation. Now it’s out and available here.
I have VERY good new for most WM6 users: make sure you read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1296053

I guess it does, same connector. Give it a try.
Is working perfectly with tf3d and fm receiver
Can you use your own headphones with this?
http://www.expansys.com/d.aspx?i=150195
if you check the description and a user comment says you can 3.5 mm
Yes you can!
Key Features
- The E100 includes 3.5mm stereo earphones or use your own!
Nice to know that this is working, can anyone post some real pics, so I can get an impression of the real size and colour!
who can i buy the RC E100 (will this be sold separately as an accessory)?!
Yes you can, check HTC homepage or use google.
Can anyone try if this works with the diamond as well? Especially the buttons on the control device.
Tested and approved.
I bought it for my Trinity and now it works perfectly for my diamond.
Works as an antenna for the FM. All controls working nativly with the new TouchFlo3D.
perfectly, thank you for your confirmation!

I read somewhere in the net, that you might have problems with some of the HTC devices. Can you please confirm, that:
a) with this remote attached, the screen turns off (save battery time)
- I read, this is not the case
b) the screen will always turn on as soon you press any key (even in you pocket)
c) works perfectly with the Diamond
Thanks in advance
RC E100 plugged without any driver or software added - screen turned off
- by pressing Play, it plays the music and the screen stays turned off
- by pressing next-previous, it changes the song and the screen stays turned off
- by controlling the volume (buttons at the bottom) it changes Volume and the screen stays turned off
the only buttons that turns on the screen are the one for phone calls.
Tested right now with my Diamond
How about the sound quality, is it better than the ones that come in the box?
I had a P1i before, and I planning to buy the RC E100 and use the intra speakers from the hpm-75:
Has anyone tried the same? Do you think I'll get the same sound quality as my SE phone, which was much better?
I plugged a basic Sony headset. I didn't try yet the one in the box.
Peio64 ? With a name like that, you are from Euskadi ?
(edited sry double post)
Haha yes, I probably have the only diamond in the region
So you use your sony headset with an adaptor, can you compare with the crappy htc one?
Other question: I found the volume really too loud, I usually listen to music at work, and even with 1 volume bar (hard to set with the finger by the way), I think it's too strong. Does the minimal volume change with other handsets?

Can you please concretize what you mean by "crappy htc"? I have a SE and the same headset as Peio64. And. I am quite happy with it. Is the htc worse?
When I say "crappy" I mean
- no bass
- bad "isolation" (everyone around can hear what you're listening)
It's about the headset that comes in the box, don't know about the RC E100, anyway I will use the RCE100 remote with the HPM-75 intras, the lenght of the wire will be perfect
Has anyone has tried the RC E100 with a hermes?
What other devices (besides the Tytyn II and Diamond) can confirm?
Does anyone know the difference between the two (RC E100 and RC W100)?
I tried the RC W100 with my hermes ( with a few different ROMs) with no luck...
Is it true you can only control audio manager and WMP?
Can anyone look over the "driver cab" to see if other players might be possible?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Guys,
Can someone, anyone, please confirm the difference between using the supplied headphones that come with the HRC diamond which are
a) bass-less (and I already know about the Audio booster bug - I mean they still dont have much bass when you have worked around that bug)
b) not isolated well (as pointed out above)
and compare with using a decent set of 3.5mm headphones that are connected with the RC E100 or with one of those USB to 3.5mm adapters that you can get from ebay.
Does better headphones = lots more bass? The supplied headphones just don't seem to push out much but I wonder how much of a role the actual diamond plays in this....
Thanks in advance to anyone who can confirm this.

I think we all know the FM Radio is in there. The GSM folks patched some software to make it work. I was wondering this.
Today I went to a Verizon store to look at the Imagio. My TP2 is defective and I have a new one on the way. I was thinking of going to the Imagio, same phone, no keyboard, smaller lighter frame.
At any rate, I was really surprised to see that the Imagio had radio software installed. I tried to use it but did not have a headset.
So my question is. Can we somehow steal the software off an Imagio and distribute it? Since it is available for the Imagion/ CDMA can we download it from Verizon or HTC? Just wondering if there is a way to make this work on the TP2. I feel cheated by Verizon.....
I dont see why it wouldn't work. The Imagio has pretty much the same hardware specs as the Touch Pro 2 minus the keyboard. Allthough the Imagio runs WM6.5 stock. Don't know if that will make any difference. Maybe someone here could copy out the necessary files and post them here? No harm in trying.
I'm pretty sure that the CDMA phones do not have the hardware to support the FM radio. Only the GSM phones have it.

What he said....
its not that the hardware is not present, but I believe its somehow not connected physically/blocked i can get it to attempt to tune and for split seconds it seems like I can hear audio at times. but im gessing this will just be the same deal as the TP1 and the diamond. it worked on the diamond just fine but not the TP.

Broadcom's BCM2075 Extends Combo Chip Portfolio Delivering Simultaneous Operation of Bluetooth®, GPS and FM Radio in a Single System-on-a-Chip Solution
The highly integrated BCM2075 is a cost effective solution for portable devices, such as mobile handsets, portable media players (PMPs) and personal navigation devices (PNDs), that wish to integrate four key radio technologies (Bluetooth, GPS and FM receive and transmit). In conjunction with its unique InConcert® collaborative co-existence technology, the BCM2075 allows these radios to operate simultaneously, and with minimal interference, providing a compelling user experience. Supported by Broadcom's World Wide Reference Network (WWRN) for accurate indoor and outdoor positioning, the BCM2075 enables advanced LBS, regardless of user location.
The Bluetooth core is architected for high functionality and low power requirements and features the on-board multimedia processing to enable MP3 and other features in more affordable handsets. The chip's FM receiver features superior tuning and station search functions for worldwide frequency bands while the FM transmitter supports programmable output power and a sophisticated algorithm that recommends the best transmit frequency for broadcast to car radios or home FM receivers.
By providing market proven implementations of all these technologies on a single combo device that saves power and size, Broadcom seeks to help drive these adoption rates in next generation handset products.

Two different chipsets there. IF it does have it, which chipset is it? The 2075 or the 4325? And IF it does have either one of those, I wouldn't put it past the US carriers, especially VZW. Typical for them to block features on a handset. If the hardware is there, why wouldn't they at least implement some form of software, or driver to make use of it? Isn't that why they tossed said chip into the device in the first place? If it causes any issues, they could always put some sort of on/off control, like they do for data/wifi connections.
I'm going to search around a little more. See what I can't dig up.
omg, wow. I should have noticed that part... (I don't sleep much)
Anyhow the 4325 is in the FCC pics so I'm assuming it's that chip.

Anyone who has one, have you tried a BT keyboard out yet? I have a DHD which doesn't support one but was hoping the Sensation, with BT3, would.
Any information appreciated.
Dave
Hmmm. I know there aren't too many Sensations in the wild yet but I thought that someone might have tried a BT keyboard by now.... Is there any way to know if the BT 'HID' profile is on the phone? I believe that's the profile needed for a keyboard.
Any comments on this driver ... https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mymobilegear ... ? Seems to have mixed reviews in the market.
Also, what's the general consensus on BT with the Sensation for headsets and music streaming to, say, a car head unit? Any problems seen as yet? I ask as none of the reviews I've seen mention BT except to say 'it's supported'.
Thanks
Dave
Can't comment on Bluetooth keyboards, but i have used it in my car paired with my Sony car stereo and it works fine. Think that is using the Bluetooth headphone profile.

Thanks for that. Been doing some more digging to try to find out about keyboards. Seems my current phone "should" support a keyboard like the Freedom Pro which supports the SPP profile (also used for keyboards, as is the HID profile). See ... http://www.apt8h.com/Computer/Elect...st-foldable-bluetooth-keyboards-reviewed.html ... for a review and more details.
Then I had one of those doh!!! moments and checked HTCs website for the Sensation at ... http://www.htc.com/www/product/sensation/specification.html ... and down under Bluetooth we find ...
"... Bluetooth® 3.0
A2DP for wireless stereo headsets
FTP and OPP (object push) for file transfer
PBAP for phonebook access from the car kit
Other supported profiles: AVRCP, GAP, GOEP, HFP, HID, HSP, MAP, SPP, SDAP ..."
Seems I answered my own question However, the proof of the pudding and all that .... it'd still be interesting to find someone who'd had one working ...

That'd be great. Just to clarify though, I don't think it's the BT 3 that's the issue as prior BT levels had the HID profile with other phones. I think BT 3 itself is more about power savings. Why HTC decided to add the HID profile to this release, arther than earlier, is anyones guess. Be interesting to know that as well though .....

Any news guys? Got an MHL adapter the other day and want to use my phone almost as a light PC on my living room TV.
sorry that im late to the game guys but have tested an logitech mx5500 bt keyboard with my sensation and it works absolutely like a dream using bluezime or similar as this didn't work with the desire at all i hope that this answers every ones question about will a bt keyb work
Didn't see this thread as well.
I'm getting the i-Tech virtual bt kb that I used back in the day under the symbian platform on Sony Ericsson's but found that I can get the driver under mymobilegear.com to use the virtual kb again. I am stoked at this and report back if it works or not lol...

You should try the bluezime from the market, It's completely free and comes with a data dump(perfect for 90% of devices

mhl+keyb is amazing just wish i could get the zeemote js1 to work, constantly asks me to enter a passcode into the zeemote itself, which ofcourse only has 4 buttons no numerical input :\ silly htc with their bt stack problems, hey at least keyboards work now XD

Thanks I'll try it when I get the kb and report back.
So, final verdict? Which keyboard should one get if they want a mini keyboard that can fit in ones pockets?
Someone recommended me the Bluetooth mini keyboard. I want something small without paying the premium price of the Dinovo Mini
My Rii mini bluetooth keyboard works flawlessly with my Sensation. You don't need to install anything just search for devices and connect
bluezimie didn't work. Using keypro and so far so good.
i-Tech VKB and keypro
Update:
Been using the i-tech vkb for a day and so far ok for what it is. This virtual keyboard is what I remember it is to be since I used it with my old MW600 by Sony Ericsson running Symbian OS.
The app works great with this kb. Of course there will be miskeys due to the spacing of the kb and where your finger is pressed, but I get that anyway using the onscreen kb lol....
Anyway here are some pics I snapped. I know it's pretty bright in here. It's 105 here today! There's bound to be "SOME" sun lol
