Tornado is not design for the MDA Vario/Wizard

I want to thank you for the Tornado cab file and the idea of installing A2DP on my TMO MDA, it's something that should have been available by now by TMO. :wink: I know that the Tornado is not really designed for the Wizard, but your right it does work! I also have the upgraded 2.17 ROM which works great. But after complete and thourough experimentation with the Tornado A2DP, the MDA, and the HT820 the Stereo sound is terrible.
8) I successfully followed the installation instructions. Of course you do not see any real changes, except those done to registry, until you buy a BT Stereo Headset. Then you see the [ ] Wireless Stereo option. I also confirmed WITHOUT Tornado's A2DP, you don't get the "Wireless Stereo" option, but you can get sound on your HT820, if your patient and waste enouph time clicking the connect button, or smart enouph to use a utility called BTSoundON, but the sound you get will be mono on sterroids. However, with Toranados' A2DP you DO get STEREO, but the quality is not very good!
At first I thought maybe the HT820 was possibly not a very good BT headset. The sound was low, although volume was as high as possible, and the bass was not very good. This was testing Mp3's at 128kbs. So I tested A2DP using TCPMP, and it obviously made a big difference with the HT820 especially playing around with the equilaizer and preamp boosters, settings.
Then I put the HT820 headset to the test. I swaped the HT820 and the mini Stereo Headphones included with MDA. I did this in critical guitar moments of some music, and it was obvious that the stereo quality was much superior with the mini Jack Stereo Headset. In every case, with every song, the mini Jack Stereo Headphones won heads up, and actually made the HT820 sound terrible.
But was it the HT820, or the Tornado A2DP? I connected the HT820 to my BT dongle on my windows XP. The sound blew me away, it was AWESOME on the HT820. As a matter of fact I was able to walk half way across the house and still got music from PC. Furthermore, I was able to receive a cell call on MDA, while listening to music on the PC, and the BT820 handled it incredible, also confirming that it could work on two seperate paired devices, incredible experience! :lol:
My humble conclusion: The HT820 is a solid BT Stereo Headset that has incredibly good sound when tested with softeware that supports it. Games sound incredible on the MDA with Tornado's A2DP. But not sure if just using BTSoundOn and not A2DP would give same results with games. TCPMP deffinatly makes a BIG diference on the MDA with Tornado's A2DP and HT820 Stereo. But I will be happy when TMO or some Developer comes up with the official Wizard/Vario A2DP.
Thanks for the memories anyway, I will keep the A2DP on MDA for now, incase I find myself in a situation where I don't have the mini Jack Headphones available. And I will defenetly keep the HT820 cause they sound awesome on PC, and great combination of Music on PC and Cell calls from MDA. :lol:

Interesting post. I've got the HT820 on order and it should be here next week sometime. ITMT I'm using HP FA303's with my 8125 (Wizard) and the sound is terrific! Which, of course, leads us to a conundrum:
given:
HT820 is a great sounding BT Stereo headset
FA303 is a great sounding BT Stereo headset based on the fact that it sounds great on Wizard
Therefore, one would think that the HT820 should sound great on a Wizard too....
I guess I'll just have to wait and see.... I'll test the two headsets side by side when it arrives.
Something you could try would be to lift the relevant DLLs off the Qtek Beta Rom which had A2DP. Those would be Wizard specific for sure.

The HT820 does sound great on the Wizard -- I installed the Tornado A2DP hack on my Qtek 9100 earlier today. FWIW, the HT820 also sounds great on the Blue Angel (which is why I bought the 820 in the first place).

i780: a2dp disconnects after a call

got my i780 for a week. everything is fine except a2dp.
after connected to my itech clipradio, a2dp seems working properly.
However, if a call is made/received, then all a2dp sound will always be diverted back to rear speaker.
(The only exception is that (1) music is being played when the call is made/received and (2) wmp is used as the player. Under that condition, a2dp will retain and music resume.)
is it only me or is this a common problem? any suggestion? many thanks.
Update: figured out that the problem was due to compatibilty with itech clipradio. tried and bought a jabra bt3030 and worked just fine.

Bluetooth headset.

What bluetooth headsets will work with the touch diamond?

other question: why should there be any headsets not working?
i have a really cheap but nice looking samsung headset, no problem to get paired with the diamond. should work with any other headset, too!?

My existing is just a cheap iTouch bluetooth headset and it works perfectly.
I don't think Diamond has any problem to work with other brands.

I have an old Motorola Bluetooth headset (4 Years) and it will not pair with my Diamond. Looks like its time to upgrade to a Jawbone!! hehehe

i have the jabra bt3030
its a stereo bluetooth headset working on A2DP
works great and looks awesome!!

So can I listen to music through any bluetooth headset (that has headsets to play music)?

My Plantronics P590 works like a charm

Say something about the sound, it is better (or/and louder) then original HS or same quality?

Here you go!

Theres a app called btAudio (keep a google-eye open for newer versions) that does exactly this, it will send ALL sound to the headset, despite of what windows had in mind for the sound (as in if it was gonna use headset or build-in speaker)
Tho, it sometimes chokes when you dont shut down the app before you disable the bluetooth headset or phones bluetooth function, but i guess that kinda makes sense (its even sayd in the program to not do that, but im a sucker for trying such things hehe)
And another thing, this happend for me too (taken from comments on some site, linked below)
The program runs well however if you try to make a phone call with the blue tooth ear piece while the program is active the program is not available after the call is completed.
I had to reset my phone to enable the program again. - source of comment
Guess thats related to windows not being to happy theres multiple apps using the headset, lets hope for a next version which auto-disables when calling and re-enables when u hang up.

I'm waiting for this one (Jabra BT530, due end August according to Play.com)...
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/16778.htm
Got the manual that Jabra put up on their support site for a day or two before taking it off. Manual says it also supports A2DP and can stream music.

And what about battery life? Could somebody using bluetooth stereos write how long the Diamond can last, and what is the overall impact on battery life while listening to music?

I use this headset, its got very good sound and is also nice and comfortable, since i have my tragus peirced i cant wear "normal" headphones!
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-DRBT20...6?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1216998998&sr=8-6
It also works on my pc and my PS3 as a wireless headset/mic!

I have proper enclosed stereo headphones Dell DH-200 with volume control, next and previous track plus play/pause buttons and it all works fine with HTC DT. The only think I am not sure about is which profile it is using, the sound is not as good as when I have it paired with my laptop, which would suggest a low speed profile as opposed to HQ.

You can change the bluetooth profile in Schap's Advanced Config. I've set bitpool to 70, max to 76 and min to 64. Now the sound quality is waaay better.

I can't connect my Jabra 320's (worked with SE W880i) to BT Stereo, it only see's the headphones as a handsfree unit on the HTC

Jawbone. Nothing else comes close (for hands free anyway!). And the new one even matches the Diamond... sort of!

Has anyone suffered the sound periodically dropping out for a second or two, mainly during the first minutes of connection but still persisting now and again several tracks down the playlist?

Help with blue tooth music streaming

Hey All,
I have a Diamond, and a cardo rider Q2 for my motorbike helmet. They pair up nicely for phone calls, but I cannot get music to stream to the helmet.
All other functions work fine. If I press a button on the phone the sound of the button comes through.
The annoying thing is that my friend has a N95 and it works just fine, so I know the headset is capable.
Is there some setting that I need to change? Or a download to fix this?
Any help would be appreciated. And please take it easy on me as I am not very capable with technology.
Thanks In advance
Adam

Adam,
Double click on the icon of the paired headphones on the bluetooth screen and make sure that Wireless Stereo is ticked.
The system is using two profiles- one for phone calls (headphones) and the other for music (Wireless Stereo). Yout helmet BT earphones should be able to switch in between as long as they are enabled.
CD

Hey CD, thanks, I tried that, but..
When I do that it only gives me the option of "hands free".
If I plug in my wired HTC head phones while maintaining the blue tooth connection to my helmet and play music the music comes through the wired headset, but when I try to voice activate an outgoing phone call the music changes from the wired headset to the bluetooth headset temporarily.

I have the same problem (posted on another thread) Jabra 320's I use to cycle to work, worked OK with my SE W880i. But like you the TD only registers 'hands free', I have checked the profile in BT and it only shows hands free, there is no BT Stereo box to tick/untick. I have tried installing/uninstalling and using a third party BT program (recommend in a previous thread) and have just upgraded to the new official Rom all to no avail.
I think the TD likes some stereo headset's but sees some others as just a mono handsfree unit.

I have the same Jabra 320's... finally got them working as Wireless stereo pressing the main button again and again during pairing... I didn't know it was going to work - It was out of frustration!!!

I tried several times with my 320's (deleted, re-installed, tried different ways/software) all to no avail.
There is a software upgrade for the 320's on the Jabra site but you need a special usb connector to flash the unit.
In the end I picked up the newer BT3030 cheaply on e-bay and they were recognised straight away as Handsfree and stereo BT streaming.
Both the 320's and 3030's have the A2DP profile, so not sure why the don't see the 320's correctly?
So happily cycling to work again with the BT3030 and listening to BT stereo.

In order for you to do what you want your headset must support A2DP Bluetooth profile (and even if it does it may not work!). That is the profile needed to send stereo music from the HTC. Most handsfree units do not do that - they just support headset and handset Bluetooth profiles.
There is a utility available called BTMusic that can be downloaded free from here. This will allow music to be sent using the headset or handset Bluetooth profiles, and it worked with my Parrot car kit, so it may work for you. The problem is that it is mono only and the quality of the sound is not brilliant - after all these profiles were never designed for that.
So the alternative is to find a new headset that supports both handsfree and A2DP profiles and works with both.

umm yea... i went through EVERY SINGLE thread this thing has. none of the programs work for me period.

bluetooth headset audio output?

I recently purchased a Bluetooth stereo headset to listen to music/podcasts on my Captivate.
Jabra HALO Bluetooth Stereo Headset (sorry can't post links yet, but it is easily found via google search)
It works well except the phone won't always send the audio to the headset. Works fine for phone calls etc. But when I use pandora, acast etc.. the audio sometimes won't go to the headset. It is paired properly etc...
Is there some setting I am missing? i have searched other similar threads, but they seem stale and are for other phones.
The headset works fine with my laptop.
Thanks.

You need to have a froyo rom and get Super BT Mono for Froyo from market. I use the app and can listen to anything from my phone through my cheap bt.
