Right, anyone still interested in A2DP?

HP's bluetoth headphone are out.
They're only compatible with certain HP models.

Can someone get the software to work on other Pocket PCs?

these are much better
Those are terrible! Check out the ones by Blueant and the ones from Bluetake, loads better. The bluetake ones provide a dongle that allow u to use it on almosy sny device because it provides A2DP (which our widcomm bluetooth stack doesn't) which is cool, because when Broadcom/Widcomm release version 4.0 we'll have A2DP and more and then wont need the dongle.

The purpose of this topic is to encourage developers to develop A2DP for pocket PCs before the Widcomm release and not to promote the HP headphones.
When will Widcomm release version 4.0?

Anybody?

Could you please explain what is A2DP??

Hey. Are you from Kenya?
A2DP is the bluetooth Advanced Audio Distribution Profile.
With it, you can stream CD quality sound from between bluetooth devices rather than the mono-telephone quality-sound you get through the common profiles.

Not from Kenya, but from South Africa, the country not the region.
This seems like a worth while endevour. It would be realy nice if we had the functionality on the XDAII and above...
I would actually just be happy if my BT works with the current profiles.

FI,
Bluetake iPHONO bluetooth headphone does not come with a driver (or CD) because the driver is hard-coded into the dongle/headphone

Yeah. I like thoes headphones but am not interested in carrying the dongle.
I currently leace the house with phone and PDA. I look forward to leaving with PDA and headphones but without the dongle.

Apparently someone on the PocketPCThoughts forum was able to use the HP BT headset drivers with the BlueTake headset. He's using a 4700, but that's still a PPC that doesn't support the headset. Has anyone tried using the HP drivers?

Interesting.
I'd try it if I had the headset.

Yep, I really like the idea of stereo headphones with headset capabilities but the dongle is a deal-breaker for me. I will definitely try something like the bluetake headphones/headset when the A2DP profile is supported directly on the PocketPC.
Go developers, go!

The purpose of this thread is ti inform developers that the A2DP software is out there.
I've had no confirmation from the relevant developers to this effect.

Hey ! Wow !
Ok slightly off-topic, but this could be a really big thing for me. I work with the disabled, providing speech recognition technology for those unable to use a keyboard. We tried out a bluetooth headset solution about a year ago, but the sound quality wasn't good enough for the speech recognition to work well.
Some of these people are unable to use a wired headset for a variety of reasons (limb spasms etc). We eventually went for plantronics wireless headset, but I'd love to see another solution.
My questions are:
1) Will the A2DP profile work in either direction (ie can we get high quality sound from the headset to the PC)
2) Are there any headsets out there that do this ? (I had a look at the Bluetake site, but the dongle only seems to be sending sound out to the headset, not the other way)
3) If there aren't any headsets out there that do this, and I'm beginning to suspect there aren't, would anyone with more knowledge of the subject than me like to hazard a guess if there will be one in the future ?
Sorry, I know this isn't exactly XDA related, but an answer could make someone very happy.
Totallytechie.

If it doesn't, I'm sure the software can be modified to do it.

I got the impression (not sure where) that the difference between normal headset sound and A2DP sound quality was approximately the difference between 8KHz & 16KHz sampling; the better the sound quality, the better the accuracy of speech recognition.

I kind of get the impression it's not a mature technology. It may be that I have to wait for it to mature. Alternatively this may be a niche market, in which case I need to find out who's working in the niche.

I took something good from my O2 XDA Flame.
It comes from wm5 device and works fine in my kaiser and Cruise. After the installation do a soft reset.

I am from yesterday a happy Touch Cruise owner and i think you must try this for better sound in your devices.
Maybe i must try to cook something.

It looks beautiful, nice job, continue developing for Polaris please Hoping to see releases from you soon, thanks

Just to let you know this did not work on my polaris.
I have an Orbit 2 that i haven't had time to upgraded the ROM on so its the stock o2 windows mobile 6.1 with 1.59.44.02 radio that i have upgraded.
When i installed the cab, did a soft reset and attempt to enable it said that there was an error and it couldn't load the driver. After that i had no sound whatsoever. When i uninstalled this my sound returned.
Has anyone any ideas what the problem is?
thanks

the same for me!!! some driver misssing!!!

Same here... and no sound anymore! Even after deinstallation and soft-reset!!! It's not compatible with win 6.1!
But uninstall isn't enough: I think it is the wavedev-entries in the registry! Can somebody please export his Wavedev in registry [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev] for me or give me all values in there? Thank you so much!!!

Okay, I did a little reasearch. Try this cab here. This will do the job for the polaris with windows 6.1

SRS Wow HD, seriously screws up your sound irreversably ALL THE TIME. When you turn off the SRS, it doesn't revert your sound to factory, it reverts it to garbage, same with when you uninstall SRS. As for using SRS, it sounds decent, but the fidelity of your sound is lost. Try plugging your cruise into an aplified system and crank up the volume. You'll notice that the sound starts to clip and degrade much more quickly than before as the volume goes up.
I used to use this program all the time, until I realised what I was missing after a hard reset reverted me to factory sound once again.
EDIT: And to the people who asked about bluetooh, yes it can be made to work with bluetooth after a registry change, however, like I said before, you don't gain very much using this program.

ATT Fuze - A2DP only headset working!

HTC has been great enough to provide me with a pre-release ATT FUZE. I have tried many Bluetooth headsets with out much success. The only headset I have been able to get to work is the Jabra BT8010 which is A2DP. Jawbone, Moto H15, H12, and a few others had no sound when answering a call. I have not found a Thread on this so I believe im alone.
Can anyone suggest where to look in the registry or any other solutions to look at?
Also any help on getting voice command to announce over Bluetooth would be great.
Thanks!

Desire i.c.w. SE HBH-DS200-> bad audio quality

I've been using this headset for a long time now. And I would like to use it with my desire as well. But the sound quality is so poor that it's like listening to a 56k mp3 file while actually I'm playing a 320kbps mp3.
It seems to me that somehow the bitrate on the bluetooth connection isn't high enough(very low actually).
Does anybody here know how I can change that easily? Or do you have any other solutions for this problem without buying a new headset.
btw, I use a Sennheiser HD215 headphone or the SE in-ear ear buds.
thanks in advance

I'm using the SE MW600 and I have no problems. Using stock rom with the update.

Good for you, but I would like to know how to adjust the bluetooth bitrate on Android.
sorry if I sound a bit grumpy but I've been searching for about 1,5 days straight and still found nothing.

No actually I never touched these settings because they were already enabled when I paired the devices. And I figured it would be quite crucial to have those settings enabled if I wanted to use those profiles.

Was hoping you would conclude from my post that there isn't a problem with the Desire regarding bitrates over bluetooth. Does the headset work on other devices without problems?

Ok, I know that for example the mw600 headset from SE works fine. So I think it's just the combination of devices, but that would be solved if I would be able to alter the bitrate.
I have used the headset with other devices without any problem, other than that I had to set the bitrate higher on a WM 6.5 device.

Navigation turn by turn voice to bluetooth?

I tried to use google navigation with my Jawbone bluetooth headset and the voice of the lady that gives you turn by turn directions are coming out of the phone speaker, not through my headset.
is there a setting I'm missing to get it to come through the headset instead of the phone speaker?
I checked in the google navigation and found nothing, nor in the settings > wireless & network > bluetooth...
Thanks in advance.

can anyone help me out with this?
thanks.

oh... well that's not very convenient...
that also explains why music don't go to my headset either... huh.
you know, actually, that's kind of stupid now I think about it.
who the heck at HTC decide on that? I mean, who drives with a stereo bluetooth headset on? it's illegal!
speaker on our phones aren't that loud to begin with. having the turn by turn direction come trough on the headset would have been beneficial...
go figure.
I hope they add an option so this is possible on the update(if we ever get it).
anyway, thank you very much for the info.

stupid if you ask me. who the heck drives around with a stereo headset...
I mean sure, I guess it's fine to work with a handsfree carkit and/or patched through your bluetooth enabled car stereo but if you have your window down while driving, it's still hard to hear.
they need to come up with an option on the phone setting for either stereo or mono bluetooth connectivity.

Well thats not actually true. Make sure your next Bluetooth has Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP). It doesnt have to be stereo, it can be monural, mine is. All of mine are actually.‎ If it has A2DP it it will say it on the box. A lot of jawbones have that feature but i've noticed it buggy with the sensation. When a headset has A2DP, when it connects to the phone it connects as phone audio and media audio. With the sensation for me, on multiple jawbones (jawbone and jambox) it only connects both audio sources when it initially pairs. The next time it connects it only connects as phone audio. I have to unpair the jawbone then pair it again and media audio will work. I've updated the firmware on both of my jawbones and it didn't help. Maybe a fix is comin, who knows. Doesnt look like TmoUS is gonna get one any time soon
OP What model jawbone do you have? If it has A2DP then unpair it and re-pair it, it should work then.

hey, thank you for the info.
that just solved it right there. A2DP...
I own a Jawbone 2. I don't think this unit has A2DP.
I guess it's time to upgrade to a new headset.
hate to give it up though... I really like how it looks, hangs on the ear(fits my ear perfect, can't even tell sometimes I have it on), and sounds.
guess I'm off to shop for either a new Jawbone(if they fit my ear right) or a new brand altogether.
anyway, thanks again.

Plain and simple your bluetooth has to support media playing thru it
