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?

I am looking for a quick and easy way to integrate my trinity with my car.
Currently I have have a generic car mount with charger. However, I find that TomTom and telephone calls over the speakers are too quiet.
I was thinking of installing a Parrot MK6000 in my car as a method to stream audio from my trinity to the car stereo whilst also acting as a car kit for hands free use while driving. Has anybody had any experience with wiring up this kit? is it easy for a moderate level electronics users (able to solder wires proficiently etc.) to wire up?
Alternatively does anybody know of other solutions to integrate the trinity with the car stereo?
Hello:
I installed this hands free in my car, and it works really fine as a hands free. The audio streaming works well too, but the sound is quite methalic. With tomtom, there is a delay in the sound, the first word it says, for example "...Turn on the left in...." you listen "...urn on the left in ..." and it hanpens allways when tomtom starts to talk.
My OS version is wm5 and I read that wm6 solves this problem.
I recently bought a LG LAC7700R (carstereo with bluetooth and cd/mp3/wma player, with a seperate mic you can place somewhere in your car) works good, up to 5 phones can connect, last six called contacts it will remember. no phonebook in carstereo. Carstereo mutes automaticly by incoming call. You can even use BT audiostream.
i have always BT on, on my phone, it will connect by itself with the carstereo.
works fine for me.
now i am looking for a nice phoneholder with only a charger.

I have a similar setup, with the Sony MEX-BT2500 instead.
However I did not manage to route the Tomtom or iGO sound over the BT A2DP stream.
As a charging holder I have the Brodit Cradle installed.

check this, maybe it will help:
goto bt settings in your phone and activate bluetooth stereo on. that's the thing for play mp3's and navigationvoices over BT. The handsfree mode is for phone voice. (leave that on!)
does sony support a2dp ? maybe that's the problem.

Actually I bought the Sony because it supports A2DP. And with MortPlayer it works flawless when listening music. With activated Bluetooth Stereo (Headphone Symbol in top bar) Tomtom still uses the internal speaker.
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.
Hello, first of all please excuse my English, I am from Germany and I try to ask for some help here.
I bought this nice little toy named Topaz a few weeks ago. Yesterday I added a bluetooth interface from Blaupunkt for my car audio "Blaupunkt Milano MP34".
Its just an extension for the missing bt ability of the radio. For handsfree and A2DP profiles.
After connecting, it works great and with the external mike I can manage phone calls via car laoudspeakers.
A2DP also works, but here is the problem: there is no auto-connection of A2DP like the handfree-profile autoconnects the car unit and the Topaz after ignition.
Every time I have to connect it manually:
- after an ended phone call
- after starting the engine even when the interface is connected
This is very very annoying, inconvenient and tedious, after a phone call the manual connection while the car is running is even dangerous.
My question: Is there any software or a plugin to make an automatic connection for the A2DP profile when the ignition gets on??
Thank you very much in advance....
greetings from Cologne, Germany, yours Wolfgang
I have exactly the same issue, see my post here for improving the a2dp quality. I haven't managed to fix the re-connection issue but as a work around I have installed this app and have maped it to one of the hardware buttons. So now i just have to hold the button and the a2dp connection fires up!! Hope it works ok for you.
Would be interested to know if anyone else has had the a2dp re-connection issue and if they've fixed it. It only happens in the car as described by porzerwolle, my bluetooth headset re-connects every time!
G
thank you very much, for the tool and the information. It seems to be impossible to auto-reconnect the device with a BT radio or BT interface.
I'm using "A2DPSwitch" for a while and it works perfect. I set it on button1 "hold long" and I can switch between device and BT interface with a one-button-push now.
In matter of fact, my Plantronics BT headset 590E (it is very, very good!!) autoconnects Handsfree within seconds, and connects A2DP immediately when I push the play/pause button. In the Windows Media Player, the Blaupunkt interface supports AVCRP!! I can use NextTitle, TitleBefore, Play/pause, Fast Forward & Fast Rewind!!!
Sound quality of Plantronics is perfect, like wired unit, but quality of BT transmission between Blaupunkt and Diamond² is inacceaptable caused by extreme static noise - worse than an FM Transmitter.....
Wanted to use the S2P for this, but the sound quality via BT is poor and lousy....
In the moment, I use Pocket Player 3.6, not so comfortable as S2P, but it works..... there I have a ten-band EQ and the possibility to control Master Volume
I will try this registry settings, but when there is no improvement, I will decide to buy the BRODIT active car charger with a 3-in-1 adapter and manage the sound output via AUX-IN by the Blaupunkt radio input.
Let us know how you get on with the registry settings. I too have a Blaupunkt head unit, an OEM one mind, but noticed a huge difference after modifying the registry.
G
do you have a Blaupunkt "headset" or an interface for the car radio??
Never seen a headset manufactured by Blaupunkt.....
I will tell you if there is any improvement after changing the registry. Will do this on the next weekend bc I'm very busy in the moment.
I have this adaptor connected to my blaupunkt head unit in the car.
Just to inform that it works perfectly on my side with my Audi A4 B8 and the audi built in bluetooth system... lucky me
I haven't add any third party software on my D2
mmm, it doesn't connect to my BMW X3 built in bluetooth, my former device (Polaris - cruise) did it seamlessy
Any fix known to improve compatibility?
Thx
now I changed the registry settings for BT stacks as told in the thread. Before i installed HD tweak and changed the settings for BT audio, the value for SampleRate were preinstalled by HD Tweak for 48000! I erased the two values and the Plantronics seems to be louder and more brilliant....
will test the changes on Blaupunkt interface tomorrow because today my car is not available.....but I think the reason for the hiss may be the low BT input signal on BT in the radio.
will tell you if there is any improvement. Thanks a lot in advance!
Greetz from Cologne, Wolfgang
now there is a little improvement in audio bt quality, less hiss and noise, but still there is some. I can't understand but maybe the bt input signal is too low.
in the moment it is working so I'm a little satisfied with the changes.
Don't know exactly in the moment if to keep in in this state or to switch to aux-in input with hiding the necessary cables and wires inside the car's cockpit.....
maybe will check out several bt car radios at my dealer to know if there are some devices which are able to produce noise- and hissfree bt audio.
today I tried BT connection both for HF and A2DP on a colleague's car with a SONY radio MEX-BT2600.
The difference was amazing! I was impressed by a perfect, noisefree BT audio output, very very loud and a HF phone call in perfect quality.
I think I will decide for another car audio device. Meanwhile, I'm very disappointed by Blaupunkt BT quality.
Out of interest porzerwolle, did the A2DP streaming re-connect ok on the SONY?
no, it didn't, the same as in the Blaupunkt interface: no auto-reconnect.
The Diamond² reconnects A2DP after a softreset, both Blaupunkt and the Sony, but it is not the standard procedure I want to do every time I want a BT connection
Hello, my new car has a bluetooth support, that if I keep my fuze with bt turned on, when the fuze rings it ring on the car's sound, if I answer it works by car's sound and the BT integrated mic, and when I call also, it works the same way.
I'd like to transmit my fuze's sound I hear on WMP, or TCMP right to the car's sound, so I think I would have to configure car's sound as a handsfree.
Would anybody know if the bluetooth's sound would have a good quality? And if there is a away for transmit it?
Thanks
if the car's bt support a2dp you can choose it as wireless stereo under bluetooth settings
if it don't support that you cant
I can't see any configuration about it. what is this a2dp?
My car's bt is only a button, that u press two times to call, and one time to answer, it configures automatically, and I can not see anything about it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth_profile#Advanced_Audio_Distribution_Profile_.28A2DP.29
Rudegar is right - if your car supports a2dp you can connect the device to your cars stereo. However some car maufacturers offer upgrades for BT-audio for their car stereos (Audi for example) if it´s not buil in originally.
I have a Sony car stereo (BT5100) and tried it with my touch pro. The sound quality however is fairly poor. I have tried different audio players with no improvement.
hippokrates, any idea if the built in bluetooth in a BMW M6 supports a2dp?
I found a PDF-File on the BMW Homepage. Apparently they don´t support a2dp (even though they don´t specificcally mention it) but offer so called snap-in adapters for a bunch of cellphones. Unfotunately the TP is not one of them. However, they tested the BT-functions (hands free protocoll and SIM-card access) and they are officially working with the touch pro. But I suppose you found that out allready ;-)
H, thanks for that. I couldn't find it on the BMW site. The bluetooth does work well with my TP in the M6. I only use it for the phone, which works very well. I'll have to experiment with the music and see if I can get that working. I'll report back.
Hello. I am really struggling....I need a over the ear bluetooth headset which supports A2DP. I don't want any solution which implies earphones...like jabra BT3030 or any similar 'a2dp' box where you can connect your earphones through 3.5mm jack.
So it seems really impossible to find a normal headset which can send me (for exemple) sounds from the games I play on android while on the bus while remaining available to phone calls without switching headsets.
I googled a lot. I found jabra Bt530, bt8040, jabra extreme, there is a jabra 8010 hard to find which costs a kidney....
is there anything CHEAP that can do the job? The items listed above cost really too much for what they are. And I repeat, I am really not interested in those solutions where you need to use wired earphones with the bluetooth adapter...there is no point of having a bluetooth headset if you anyway have to have wires all over your jacket...
I actually just found an application (bluetooth switcher) that can send every sound from the phone to any bluetooth headset! In my case, I was wearing a gioteck EX-02 (it is a PS3 headset).
Well it is a nice solution...although this headset doesn't have a call button to answer the calls....but yeah I can have music and games on this non-A2DP headset! Wonderful!
I'll wait for your replies though...sure I am missing something...
I wanted the same thing. I got a Blueant T1. It is wonderful.

thank you for the reply. yes your answers are a good alternative...unfortunately the headsets linked are pretty expensive for what they offer...I think I'll stick with my Gioteck EX-02 which i can use with both the ps3 and the mobile phone...now that I have found this application on android that can redirect every sound to a normal non-A2DP headset, I don't need a new headset with A2DP protocol.
As soon as I get a chance, though, I'll compare the quality: I don't know if it's the headset itself, the bluetooth transmission of my phone, or the low quality broadcast by the android application that redirects the sounds....but the sounds in games don't sound really wonderful. I'll have to check this as soon as I get the chance to try a 'real' A2DP headset.
thank you all
