Plantronics M3000 Turns itself off after 2 mins talk time

Help!
I have had my M3000 for about 8 months now and until recently it has worked fine.
Last week when I answered a call with it, the headset turned itself off after about 2 mins of talk time. The phone thought the headset was still connected and I had to transfer the call back to the phone, and end the call before I could do anything else. It is now doing this regularly.
I have re-bonded and the headset is fully charged (even tried it while connected to charger!)
I have also tried to run the headset against my pc (audio output) and this works fine.
The only thing I can think of is the battery in the 3000 losing its charge when connected to a phone, but when I charge it, it is ready in a matter of mins.
Anyone any other suggestions as to why the Headset powers itself off ?? Has anyone seen this behaviour before ??
Thanks in advance.

mine does the same mate its the platronics m3000 its crap and doesnt work well with the XDA2 use the bluetrek G2 they work great

Mine did the same, but I just noticed that the XDA2 was on Bluetooth Discoverable mode, when I switched to Bluetooth Connectable (On) it works fine

Thanks to all who have replied....
I have tried a few more things out :lol:
1) Logged an issue with Plantronics :wink:
2) Tried my BT Carkit which works no problem :lol:
3) Tried a Hard Reset - Works great afterwards :lol: until I install my apps
It has therefore got to be a problem with apps and rom version clash??
Those who have had similar issues with the Plantronics turning itself off after using it for more than about 1.5 Mins.... Do you have any of the following apps ???
Belkin IR Keyboard Drivers (Belkin WPDAK)
Fonix Voice Dial/ UK Roger
Microsoft Money
MTUX Ringtone X
Pocket Bluetooth Tools (1012)
RegKing
Sandisk WiFi
SBSH.NET Birth2Day/ Calendat Plus/ iLauncher
Scary Bears Check Notifi
Yishin Power Check
CDL - O2 Customisiation
Thanks,

Plantronics Bluetooth Headset
I also have the same problem. I also have a SanDisk wifi card (which on occasion also stops working causing me to hard reset) and Microsoft Voice Dialler and Pocket Breeze and a number of other plugins. The whole point of plug-ins is to use them! Any suggestions???

It gets worse!!
I have just tried the Widcomm stack on the XDAII.
Its probably me, but I just cant get the thing to pick up the headset when I make or recieve a call, so that was no use.
To uninstall Widcomm I had to do a hrad reset (Widcomm disables the sound after uninstallation for some reason - grrrr), and now the damm thing shows the same symptoms - even on a virgin hard reset device.
My only conclusion is that something changed in the last ROM to kill it. I'll wait for another ROM upgrade and see what happens then, but will now probably end up buying another headset.
Is anyone on 1.72 with a Plantronics that works??? :?:

Ian - Rom 1.72
Do you have the 1.72 Rom on the XDAII from the UK? I thought it wasn't out yet. Is it better than 1.60?

Yep 1.72 UK.
Its better than 1.6x but has still got issues with it - like needing to be hard reset every now and again (grrr). But BT is more stable and power drain is better.

WM6 and A2DP

Hi all Gurus!
I was planning to get myself a Jabra BT8010 and plan to get it working with WM6 installed XDA MiniS.
Generally, how is the sound quality of BT A2DP as compared to normal headphones? Are there many issues in BT Stack of WM6 that might prevent nice music experience?
Also, has anyone tried BT8010 with WM6 Orwell's rom? and got it working perfectly fine?
And can we just jot all the issues/problems/solutions faced with WM6 (whether Orwells or PDAViet) and A2DP here in this thread?
Mods, the specific threads are all scattered so I thought I would start off this thread specifically for WM6 and A2DP. Please delete this thread if this topic doesnt require a separate thread.
thanks,
Sid

Works fine on mine with a Sony Ericsson DS910, and an iTech Blueband.
It has AVRCP also, so with the DS910 it supports all the controls.
Quality is probably about the same as A2DP from my K800i, but it is all quite memory intensive, so if you're low on ram it will stutter like a bastard.

i had the PDAviet 3 WM6 and the xound quality on mine was okay..its just a cheap think i bought on ebay that you plug your own headphones into. its eem sto lose some base and sound a bit tinny compaired to the same headphones plugged into my 8125 directly, but that could just be my BT receiver.

I have Nokia HS-12W and the music quality if good with same gaps in music but the quality in voice is very bad!
The voice is like talking from far!!!!
If someone solve this problem please tell us!

Im Using my Mono SE headset to listen to movies etc on the go and have noticed a bit of a drop in quality from WM5 to WM6, It seems to crackle more on WM6.
Bluetooth range is very good though, I was on a call the other day and someone came to the gate so I got up and went outside still talking on the headset only to realise my Wizard was still on my desk 10 meters away

I use iphono mini with WM6, quality in music is quite good (similar as WM5) once you add the bitpool registry key to 40 (before a lot of skips).
But used as hands-free has quite bad quality, at least in my case most of the times I have to disconnect the bluetooth and use the phone.
Perhaps the Jabra are better in this aspect.

Can you share the exact location of this key in the registry?
Although my Jabra hasnt arrived yet. I just want to be ready.

Got My Jabra BT8010!
Hi All,
I got my Jabra BT8010 working with the WM6. I am pleasantly surprised with the voice quality. Music thru the stereo headset is also excellent, but sometimes the songs seem to slow down or plays fast randomly.
I tried overclocking, but it did not do much good.
Has anyone faced this? this doesnt happen everytime.Just randomly, the speed of song increases or decreases. Any pointers in this?
Further, Anyone knows how do I activate cyberon voice dialling thru this? The MS Voice commander doesnt work well with Indian names :-(
Thanks for the help...all. I also filled the petition for XDADEV to allow storing the ROMs at this site!

Give this cab a shot. My buddy uses it on his Mini S, says it works wonders. I don't have a a2dp headset yet. I forget what brand he has, it's a something-com I think, the one that folds up.

My BT620s is on the way, I can't wait. I will let you know how it works out.

I got it today.
The damn thing took forever to charge the first time.
I have to say I am very impressed with this thing. Works out of the box with WM6, so far no issues whatsoever. The sound quility is not audiophile level, however it is a lot clearer than I thought it would be!
I was listening to some songs that i have only heard on my crappy laptop speakers and they are awsome. I can hear a lot of things that I couldn't hear before. The bass on these is great.
the best part is that they were only like $60 US, that is less than I paid for my Jabra BT800 a year ago.
I Give the BT620s a 2 thumbs up!!!!!
btw no A2DP fixes have been applied to the Mini S, I am using PDAViet 3 so I am not sure, actually there may be some tweaks in that.

Using A2DP on pdaviet3 with the itech clip IIs headset works great for me:
PROs:
- no skipping after 20 min of mp3 playback
(EDIT: it does drop audio for one sec about 1-2 secs after initial playback, but then resumes)
- not wired headphone sound but pretty darn close
- seamless music pause/resume with incoming calls
- no problems at all with MS Voice Command
CON:
only one so far - people on other end when asked about sound of MY voice said it was a little distant/tunnel sounding (but this is more due to the mic location on the itech)
That being said, I've just "reverted" back to faria's 3.3 rom. Today screen with SPB Pocket Plus/Diary combo seems snappier.

i have wm6 and sonorix OBH-0110, and sound quality if awfull comparing to PC connection with toshiba bluetooth stack. and some cooker said that wm6 bt stack is alot worser then wm5 one.

Hi All,
I dont have this location on my WM6 Orwells: "HKLM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Bluetooth/AD2P/Settings/"
The "Settings" folder and the subkeys are not there. This location was there in WM5 while it isnt there in the WM6. Does anyone know where it has been relocated?
And any settings for A2DP skipping and Music playback speed uneven-ness?

Added those bitpool registry keys but they seem to have no effect. How can I improve A2DP sound quality in WM6?

Did you create those locations manually?
Even after installing that bluetooth fix cab in this thread, I still have problems with skipping and song playback speed intermittant. :-(
Gurus!!! where art thou????

Yes I created those manually. Now I use Molski's AKU3.3 Crossbow style rom and sound quality improved alot. Still not on the same level as a wired headset but much better nonetheless. As soon as there is a better WM6 rom with working A2DP tweaks I will upgrade again.

An Update,
I used this A2DP fix http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=284974
and skipping went away. Also, music quality reduced.
I uninstalled the fix, and I have the quality back, but songs have started skipping again.
Cant MS provide for a better BT stack in WM6 with all their development prowess??
Would going back to some stable ROM like Molski's or Farias WM5 help?

Faria's WM6 and A2DP
Another update....sighhh
I updated my Wizard to Faria's latest fully loaded WM6. The skipping reduced a bit, but thats about it. The Music speed is still intermittant.
Seems like I wouldnt be able to enjoy this gift. Why cant things just RUN....
I am guessing, changing ROMs wouldnt help...or would it? Does Widcomm stack work on WM6? Anyone with this experience?
The next ROMs I am gonna try are:
1. WM6 MBE
2. Farias 3.3 AKU
3. Molski's WM5
After that i will try selling my Jabra BT8010.

Anyone figure out a cause behind the intermittent skipping and speed fluctuations when playing music over bluetooth? I'm using the XDA Mobile 6 release 2a ROM with my BlueAnt X5i headphones. Everything works for the most part. But about 10 to 15 minutes it will drop audio for a few seconds, then start back up again. Annoying but I can live with it.
What's really irritating is the fluctuations in playback speed. For some reason playback tends to speed up every 5 minutes or so. When I skip ahead or go to the next song and it's fine. Then the issue recurs again in 5 minutes... repeat cycle.
I've tried using different mp3's of different bit rates and that doesn't seem to have an impact. I've also tried different players - WMP, TCPMP, GSplayer, Mortplayer, etc. All seem to behave the same way when it comes to variations in speed during playback. Any ideas on this one????

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?

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
AFAIK

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..

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 Headset AD2P skipping

Have any of u experience Skipping when listening to audio via BT headset? Mine skip every 3 secs. any solutions?

i have quite the same problem, but mostly it works fine. Sometimes it skips at the end of the songs or even on the beginning, very annoying

Same here, I'm using Sony Ericsson HBH-DS200 headset. Sometimes it skips during playback (I use pocketplayer). Another annoying thing is that it take forever to find nearby bluetooth devices. A friend of mine also has the TC, but when we both turn on bluetooth it takes really long before we can see each other in 'Bluetooth Explorer'. Anyone knows why that is?

Mine is almost not usable.very 3 sec it will skip not sure what is the problem. Very dissapointed.

The same
Hi guys.
I also have problems with my bluetooth headset.. i have exchanged my phone for a new one but the problem consists.
I cant parre my Sennheiser VMX 100 BT headset to my phone, even though is works perfektly with my HTC P3300 and my HTC Touch??
Further more i cant use my other BT headset eighter. I have tryid
Motorola Miniblue H9
Nokia BH-208
Samsung WEP-200 Headset
but everytime i take a call the headset disconnets after 5-15 seconds ??

there is a setting which controls the size of the buffer. by default it's too small, apparently.
search on xda-devs, there is a fix in one of the tweak and tipps threads.
Edit: Just saw you named the technology wrong. It's called A2DP, Advanced Audio Distribution Profile, thats why you might not find any results because AD2P doesnt exist

Hi
I am using the same Sony and pocketplayer. Using stock ROM with the bitpool set at 64 which is default on this machine, the sound is perfect with no skipping as long as I soft reset, initiate bluetooth, start pocketplayer, then press the headphone play button. It automatically connects and plays. If the phone has been used in a call or any other software first-forget it--bad skipping. This used to happen on my trinity too. Same procedure fixed it. Yes, you can reduce the bitpool but the sound will suffer. The skipping does not happen with my itechs which are bluetooth 1.2. I wonder if the Sony is using EDR or something--the sound is much better--can't even tell its bluetooth.

i have a problem with changing the registry values to try to get rid of the skipping when using a2dp wiht my samsung sbh-500
evertime i softreset the device, the settings are default again...
i use 1.64.08.21 radio and bepes 0.67 rom...
anybody an idea why thsi is happening?
greets and thanks, qoka

ah okay, got it, i made a softreset directly...

Stereo bluetooth (A2DP) issue on Polaris

I just bought a bluetooth headset from Sony : DR-BT21G.
The pairing works just fine, I can listen to music or make a phone call. I can even watch a divx on TCMP with the sound in the head set and no problem.
The only thing is that as soon as I put the Polaris in my pocket (jacket our trousers) the sound stops, then comes back, then stops again, etc. The pairing is not broken, but the sound keeps coming and stopping.
This is even worse when I'm walking.
If I take the phone on my hand, the sound does not stop anymore.
I have changed the following registry keys as I read on other posts but it changed nothing:
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Bluetooth/A2DP/Settings/BitPool - change to 48
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Bluetooth/A2DP/Settings/MaxSupportedBitPool - change to 58
Any idea were this could come from ? Any other good or bad experience with this combination ? Is it just bad luck and I have to change my headset ?
Thanks for your help.

I've got the same problem with a Sony Ericsson HBH-DS980.
I've not tryed to install the patches because i just received my cruise from repairing service.
I'll try and tell u.
Bye

i too have this annoying problem with no joy from the hotfix.... ring htc tell them you want it fixing under waranty i am!

1. Did you either restart your phone or restart the blueooth after making the registry changes?
2. If you did and it still didn't work for you, I would reduce both bitrate settings to the 28 and then restart either the blueooth or the phone which should fix your issue pretty much immediately. I would then up the A2PD settings at increments of 4 until you figure out the Sony DR-BT21G bitrate threshold. (Again be sure to restart either the phone or the bluetooth after each increase.)
FYI: The hotfixes aren't supposed to fix A2DP issues.

Thank you very much Sonus for your help.
Unfortunately I tried to tweak the bitrate according to your advice but it does not change anything.
I put the bitrate down to 2. It is true that I have less cut, but still, the connection drops from time to time for somes seconds.
Is the idea of this bitrate to catch the one of the device or is it : the lower, the better connection ?
I did not noticed any effect on the quality of the sound though.
Notice that I restarted the Polaris each time I change the value.
If you have any other idea or comment this will be more than welcome.

Here's the solutions guys.

After implementing everything in there, I soft resetted the device, reverted the AKU back to .0.4.5(HKLM\System\Versions\AKU) then installed the HTC BT Fix and voila! No more issues. Excellent! Calls notifications are now coming direct to the headset.
By the way, i'm also using Sony Ericsson HBH-DS980

Yep i reverted aku to .0.4.5, installed the HTC BT fixes, and now i have no more "holes" in sounds.
But what is this solution ? i don't really understant what is it for?
I have the same headset as you, did u see any difference in the quality with the solution you mensioned?
Thx for ur future answer

More tweaking... unsuccessful
I have done all what was written in the thread :
- deleted the two regkey (MaxSupportedBitPool and BitPool)
- set the AKU value back to .0.4.5 (the initial value was .1.0.0)
- reset the TC (many times )
But still, I suffer from cuts in the connection where the sounds just stops in the headset.
I just want to precise that I never suffered from low quality of the music. All the time I can experience very high quality sounds. Only the headset stops playing for half a second, two seconds, then play again, then stops...
Any help more than welcome....

i have same problem but with my non-stereo, non-A2DP headset. when i put the phone in my pocket, sound become "choppy".. anyone know a solution for me?
