BT stack problems - need working A2DP for PDA2 - General Topics

Hi, I have read a lot about updating the BT stack to allow for A2DP on my PDA2, and especially a previous post (XDA2i - bluetooth stuff - newbie question) where the solution was to install the BroadcomCorporation BT-PPC AV.cab file. I did this and it does give me the High Quality Audio profile when bonding and the bonding process seems to work fine. However this results in no sound from my PDA, nor any from the headphones when playing audio! (which by the way are the Blueant BT headphones). Headset mode works fine still. I have tried all the different versions of the BT stack on the ftp site but no joy. Is there something else I need to do to get this working, and is this, maybe, a problem with the PH10D, but not PH10C ??
I am really stumped so any help, suggsetions or pointers greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Bluetooth 2.0 - anyone?

I'm after an upgrade for BT. My headphones need 2.0w/EDR + A2DP.
Can anyone help.
Thanks
try this...
run both files
Didn't work
This install is to enable the A2DP feature for BT, not to upgrade the BT stack.
Thanks anyway.
Can anyone else help??
I am not sure I can help, but I am curious what headphones you got that will only use 2.0?
The headphones are Logitech FreePulse Wireless
Link to headphones are:
http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details/GB/EN,CRID=2412,CONTENTID=12492
They're pretty good. This pair is a replacement, from Logitech, for 2 pairs of the old iPod headphones. They were replaced due to the cracking headband problem. Unfortunately the new pair does not operate the remote control functions (on the iPod or the phone). They just have volume and mute controls on the headphones.
These new ones connect to the phone OK, but I'm not able to set the device as 'set as Wireless Stereo' and there are no service listed. I'm guessing it the phones version of BT that's stopping the connectivity problem.
What's your interest BT or the headphones?
Cheers.
I am interested in finding the ideal a2dp headphones (decent sound, comfortable, no distortion/skipping, controls work right). I've tried several with my qtek 8300 (moto ht820, sony hbhds970, nextlink spider), and each seems to have its own problems. I've settled on the Sony set, but it has issues with switching from handsfree to wireless stereo (won't automatically switch back to wireless stereo after phone call). I haven't tried any logitech set yet, though.
Hello,
I have downloaded the zip file but seems to be corrupted. Can you upload it again. Many Thanks.

A2DP help on ppc-6700

Hello,
I am having some issues getting A2DP working on my sprint ppc-6700, I recently got a moto s805 stereo bluetooth headset and cannot figure this out. Searching didn't help much since the recent AKU upgrades confuse (at least for me) what should and should not be done, so please bear with me.
The headset work with windows (and linux) via A2DP and with my phone as hands free, I can make calls.
I just upgraded to kirvin's 3.5 clean & simple ROM, I thought this would give me A2DP "out of the box".
When I start any player morts (3.31b59), coreplayer or wmp I get a blip of audio and then for most part nothing. Sometimes after it stops, I get audio out of the speaker or wired headphones, however setting the s805 to "wireless stereo" seems to keep the audio stream over the headset, but I only get a low hiss or random blips of sound. The AVRCP seems to work as I can control mort's skip fwd & back even when no audio is coming out of the headset.
It seemed like the poor thing couldn't keep up so I also tried XCPUscalar to overclock the processor, but that did not help either.
Are there any reg hacks to get his working?
Is the widcomm stack an option and should I consider it?
Should I be using a specific file format/bit rate? I tried just about everything including mp3 128bps with no change in performance.
Should I be using another AKU version or build?
Are there any decent how to's? I wouldn't mind learning a bit, but just getting it done would be fine too.
Thanks in advance.
-shiggs
I figured this out, but still don't have a sure fire way of getting it workikng every time.
In short it will only work if the wireless stereo icon pops up when I enable bluetooth, if not I get a blip of audio and them nothing or just nothing at all.

A2DP Issues

Hi all,
Laurentius and I are looking at resolving the current issues with A2DP (Many fixes will be in our latest rom, however issues vary from headset to headset.
Some work fine, others are poor quality and some receive PDA lockups or long pauses between streams.
Please could those with A2DP issues, and the need for this protocol to work properly, post the following information.
The current Rom you are you using
The make and Model of your headset
A list of issues you are currently having with A2DP.
Please also try the following to resolve the issue.......
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2DP\Settings\
Remove (Delete the following entries)
BitPool
MaxBitpool
and add the following
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway]
"Capability"=dword:0000003C
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2DP\Settings]
"SampleRate"=dword:0000BB80
"UseJointStereo"=dword:00000001
Please then remove (un-pair) your headset and Soft Reset
After SR please re-pair Headset and test A2DP again.
Please keep this thread clean and only post A2DP issues with the required information listed above.
Thanks,
Cheers,
Beast
Hi Beast,
Isn't:
"UseJointStereo"=dword:00000000
to get proper stereo sounnd?
Regards,
KOR!
I have latest V1 rom from Lt.Cmdr.Ivan - BT headset is Philips SHB7102 (works great with my Wizard and SEk800i). I did exacetely what U have asked for (but i have left jointstereo=0) and nothing happend. It sounds like 2s of music folowed by 15s of silence, then again 2s of music and 15s of silence. I messed with bitpool walues and couldn't find any working set. I'm afraid that's something wrong with max BT speed and not with A2DP implementation. I had BT speed switch app when I used broadcom BT stack and A2DP works great. Unfotunatelly normal mono BT headset doesnt work at all with this BT stack so I'm back to original stack

I've found that with MS stack and my Jabra BT620s the best bitpool is 33... good quality and good range (no interruptions)... jointstereo must be 1 otherwise the sound uses too bandwidth...

I also have Ivan's V1 Rom and have an Itech Radio headset. I completed the changes that you suggested and found that A2DP works well it did before the changes too. I have noticed that the sound quality may be a little better and the pauses are slightly reduced.
The main problem I have found with A2DP with all AKU0.5 ROMS is the pairing of the headset. If you soft reset you phone while the headset is on, A2DP will be auto detected when the phone comes up. If you play music then the music starts and stops and the phone becomes unstable. The work around is to turn your headset off, soft reset the phone. When the phone comes up turn the headset on and activate A2dp by pressing the button on the phone. Music then plays fine.
The registry changes you suggested did not help the above problem. AKU0.5 ROMS all seem to have this A2DP autodetect error on reset at least with my headset. Very frustrating.

Hi Maniware,
Can you please further shed light in detail on the jointstereo?
Why jointstereo to be 1 or 0?
Thanks in advance!
KOR!
It goes well with joint stereo. Seems that it needs much less bandwidth. I've heard that jointstero=1 means that there is mono sound in effect.
"UseJointStereo"=dword:00000001 << mono
"UseJointStereo"=dword:00000002 << joint stereo
"UseJointStereo"=dword:00000000 << stereo

qtek 9000 - Logitech Mobile Bluetooth Headset
I'm not quite sure if my problem is right here - because i still have the original (last build) WM5 ROM (130.96 GER, Radio 1.09.00, ExtROM 1.30.185 GER).
I encounter statics while using the Logitech bluetooth headset, which is a mono one, making phone calls impossible due to stressed phone partners ... Only the person on the other end of the line encounters interruptions, me, as calling, not.
This is the main issue for me to update the ROM, and I'm trying to find out if any of your nice new ROMs will be of help.
Anyway, I haven't tried yet I'm afraid to destroy my device ...
thanx
Anna
my feedback:
device:
itech r35
Problems:
sound muted after 2 seconds of music.
audio players used:
audio manager
windows media player
i tried your advices, but not worked for me....
Sometimes it works when i put 70 (binary) on both Maxbitpool and bitpool...but on next device activation or reboot it just stop working...
A2DP and wireless
Just to be clear, my results are when I do not have wlan activated.
I changed UseJointStereo=dword:00000000.
Quality is good and it is definitely stereo.
Still have the auto detect problem. Interesting though, if I walk out of range for a while with the headset on, when I come back into range the A2dp is autodetect and the music starts playing through the headset again, quality is good. If I soft reset with the headset on and A2DP is autodetected, the headset is unusable.
If you do any of this with wlan on the quality is very poor with starts and stops.
Also noticed that audio manager does a better job with bluetooth than gsplayer, I think audio manager may have better caching.
Freezing
I think there's a problem with the latest core os files (AKU 0.7.0)... i havent' tried the MS BT stack, but with the Widcomm, using the bluetooth for anything more than 1 min, completely freezes the phone.
It does when listening music, transferring files, etc... if BT is idle, nothing happens (except than freezing the device when the Comm Manager gets confused and enables BT instead of gsm radio).
So it seems related to the core files.
Switching on and off, transferring data thru BT is a critical task and subject to lockups.
For the record, i used to use the BT A2DP and file transfer without ANY problem whatsoever in my old and horribly-underpowered HTC Tornado (omap850 @195mhz) so IT MUST WORK!
im using your latest rom and Motorola HT820 does not have a problem with it... even in the earlier roms you cooked... even tried it in indra's xoj version and darkforce's rom..
just wanted to clear it out just so you can rule something out...

Hi,
Now that sucks,
I have the same headset HT820 and audio sucks, long pauses etc etc.
Can you post your firmware Revision for me please, it should be printed on the inside of the headband.
Cheers,
Beast
Haha.. can you help my friend Beasty please
He's so happy with his new headset.

Sound stops coming fter about 1 second of playback (used TCPM,

The same result after applying those reg mods....
Please try and install the stack found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=291639
A2DP problems should go away, but then will come the freeze-after-1-min problems, like with my HP Stereo bluetooth headset
I've flash to your latest WM6 AKU 0.7 (WIFI Fix update 3) ROM just now. But sadly to say, the freezing thing still occurs after playing music with Audio Manager. It even freezes when watching videos using WMP. Usually around 1 minute it shall start freezing. FYI:
Bluetooth model: i-tech Clip

I had the Qtek 9000 with italian version WM5 and i flashed WM6 with no problems. if you dont wanna have any problems unzip the attached file and add in the folder the 3 files (ms_.nbf ; nk.nbf ; radio_.nbf) from your prefered WM6 ROM (I personally use the latest Laurentius & Beast ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=325466) start into bootloader (Power+backlite+softreset) and ROMUpgradeUt.exe
VERY IMPORTANT: you have to charge your batery before any flashing

Old A2DP routines don't work on new phone

Hi,
I hope somebody can help with this. I've got a new pocket-pc phone with WM6 that says it's got A2DP built in but I cannot use my old bluetooth headsets with it for audio because it greys-out the audio device option.
My headsets (I have three) all work with my Universal using the A2DP patches. The sound is not perfect but acceptable for my purposes.
But nothing works on this new phone (Ubiquio 503g). I've checked all registry keys as well and they all seem to match the Tornado patch instructions.
What else can I try? Any help appreciated.
Thanks.

First, are you speaking of non-A2DP, mono headsets or A2DP, stereo headphones ?
Thanks for your answer. Yes, I am speaking of non-A2DP, mono headsets. Sorry I was not very clear on first post. That's what I mean. I've used these same headsets before with Uni and had sound of sorts from media players coming through it.

Unfortunately, different models require different ghacks to do this as has also been explained in the Wiki (see http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...t using traditional (mono) Bluetooth headsets )
All in all, checkout the Wiki above
Thanks. I'll try the wiki and hope for the best.
_________________________
If anybody is interested, as my phone has Microsoft’s BT Stack, I’ve tried:
1)- Built in A2DP - option for bt audio greyed out.
2)- Tried with TP.com BTAudio.cab - it installs but sound is muted (or disappears in the ether) when I transfer sound to headset.
3)- Tried with 1Enable_A2DP.cab and 2Enable_A2DP.cab and the system say it cannot install them full stop.
4)- Tried with Tornado’s BTAudioToggle routine and registry changes - behaves the same as in option 2. (Realised after doing option 5 that it is same as BTAudio810)
5)- Read the wiki on http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TUTORIAL%3A%20Everything%20you%20need%20to%20know%20about%20using%20traditional%20%28mono%29%20Bluetooth%20headsets and discovered that I had tried most of the options there already.
6)- Did not try the “Teksoft’s Blue Music” yet, may give it a go later.
7)- and last, tried BTAudioNav with no luck either. (same behaviour as option 2).
I wanna cry!

Wired headset audio routing problem

Hello all
I don't know if it is just me, but wired headset audio routing is not working with new kernel images. I've seen it working with previous kernels but I can't remember which works.
Is it happening to you? Can someone tell me if it is a kernel or build issue?
Thanks to everybody and specially to dzo
Same here, no audio output to wired headset. Even phone's speaker doesn't turn off when headset is connected (if it plays something).
It is the greatest feature that I am missing - I cannot connect Pola100 with Android to my car audio system (hands free and music).
And I have never used any zImage which worked with it.
A long time ago it used to work, but you needed to stop audio playback before connecting wired headset. After this, hopefully it worked sometimes.
kallt_kaffe has answered me in Linux and Android for Vogue thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7007716&postcount=5444). He says that maybe it could be fixed with kernel inside VaniljEclair RLS7 package.
I can't test it until I go back home after work. Can someone check if it is fixed?
No luck, still doesn't work
