himalaya a2dp ht820 CSR Cambridge Silicon Radio stack

Hi!
first, i'm sorry for my faulty english, but who cares...
lets try to sort things out, because some topics are really messed up
my challenge on the search for a full featured sw/hm setup for stereo music, headset, handsfree, voice command now lasts for about 2 weeks, and i'm still not satisfied . So i will post my impressions and problems here, perhaps we will find a satisfying solution
my hardware:
himalaya (xda II O2)
ROM 1.72.01.GER wm2003
RADIO 1.17.00
ht820 motorola headset
tweaks:
CSR Bt see (http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33532&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=a2dp)
what i got done until now:
- a2dp profile works great, brilliant playback in my ht820
- 2 sec connection time on start, i can live with that
- no skips during playback, i can live with that too
- incoming call during playback: no problem ansering by pressing multifunction button on ht820, headset profile is activating
bad things:
- only functions with wmp, i can live with that
- doesn't resume playback after call, well i don't like that
- no guess how to enable ms voice command over ht820, thats sad
- playback buttons don't function, sad too...
so if you're a owner of a Himalaya (xda2, xdaII, mda2, don't know all it's names ) device post your comments, achievments, answers...
for you whe are annoyed of all the steps to enable bt stream music to headset, i wrote a mortscript to be placed on today screen to toggle ht820 on/off, i hope it may be useful, be aware you need SwichIt by Buzz_Lightyear (http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=17476&highlight=switchit) installed for proper functionality. you may have to edit the mortscript to fullfill your needs (paths,....) with an editor like notepad .
ok thats all for now from me, look forward to some life on this topic

yes, wmp is not that loud, thats true
i think it's pocketplayers preamp, perhaps there's some plugin for wmp , too, but i've never seen anything like that
can you use MS voice command with wm2005 and is it possible to use the headset for it?

ooo i havent been playing around with voice command yet. post the prog here, i'll try it out. or the link to it.

i guess its a beginning to solve the volume issue.
here you can download a demo of voice command, its one of MS produkts, that really functions , well i like it.

I just installed a wm2005 image http://buzzdev.net/component/option,com_simpleboard/Itemid,59/func,view/id,14533/catid,26/ + crb stack
next previous buttons on ht820 function now but pause play button does not...
it also does not resume music after call, did you manage to solve those things?

i didnt install that rom on mine, but a previous one b4 that. giodata rom. everything works for me on windows media. jus that its not loud enough so not useful for me when on da bus. i use pocket player now when on da bus. i think itech blueband is louder but lack the music control. so u are saying that the 2.01 rom dont work fully?? im thinkin if i shoul flash to that. btw is windows media now louder after u use this rom?? compare it with pocket player for me. im thinking to upgrade to 2.01 or not.

VVGEO, you are the master of all things wicked and PHAT! I've been trying to get my bluetooth headphones working for 4 months! It works with excellent audio quality now! Thankyou for posting this.

Bluetooth A2DP annoying problem with WMP/TF3D & S2P

Hi all,
I have an O2 stereo BT headset which is 1 year old. I used it with my prophet previously just fine with S2P. No problems when I press play etc.
Since using it on my Touch Pro, when I press play on it, both WMP/tf3d player would play simulatneously. I have to stop s2p. It is annoying to say the least. I would like to continue to use S2P than wmp/tf3d.
How come I'm having this conflict & what to do about it?
Thanks
Posted it here because I thought it may be a general question rather than a problem with S2P.

I have the same problem...
I am having the same problems and from the research it looks like the profile for the blue tooth is set to always call up Window Media. I have been using Mort Player with no issues on an older model S9 motorola stereo headset. Now with the new one no go!!! always calls up Windows Media.
I have tried different media players - looks like there was a version of pocket player 4 that bypassed this issue and cut off Windows media player. Unfortunately it jsut doesn't work for my Touch Pro 6.1 stock rom.
i am thinking if anyone out there can make this fix available it must be the XDA people...
Anyone have suggestions, hack, new profile that can fix this annoying issue??? Please???

i thought no body else had this issue but i'm sure other people have it as well.
thanks for the research. tried looking in the registry for a2dp profiles and wmp, but no luck.

How to get volume louder?

Hey i just moved from my n95 with its good speakers but the touch pro;s cant get any louder then my n95 is there a way to get the volume on the same level as the n95? Because if i riding my bike i cant hear the speaker welll. and i hate earplugs so...

How to get volume louder
I have used a file that I found on aruppenthal's ROM that seems to work (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=488781). I have attached it to the reply as well. Hope this works for you.

thx i'll check it out!

where does the installed program goto? Not in programs, explorer or settings... where can i find it?

I believe you don't have to run it as a program. It probably changes some registry value. Install the cab and then reboot your phone. After that it would sound louder than before.

but it does'nt i resintalled it on de device mem and still nothing

Which model?
which carrier?
which rom?
You want the speaker louder on 'speaker' when you're listening to music I take it?
The CAB file above works for increasing in-call volume on some ROM's

Htc touch pro (europe)
Telfort(dutch)
rom version is: 1.90.404.1 NLD
Yes the speaker for listening music. the incall volume did get louder but thats not what i'm searchin for... thx anyway.
Any other programs?

anybody successfully tried using SRS WOW HD?

Whats that can it make the speaker louder? and now the speaker off my phone sounds really crappy like its blown or sometin'

nothing can make speaker louder really
in a program
digital audio is a frame for which one use 16bit to give a value of sound every
1/sample-Rate sec
if the audio stream is low one can amp it digitally but also amplifying any noise
present in the file
and if one amp higher so some audio peeks inc over the values given by 16bit
distortion will ruin any quality the audio sample once had

ok and now in english please... XD
My english is not that good...
But if i call someone in the speaker mode it seems that its louder then when i play music trough speaker...
And is the htc speaker just bad because those warning sounds from wm6 are even not nice and crisp...

I installed the srs wow hd but where does the program goto? not in explorer, programs, settings, tf3d or windows media player
where can i find it?

i use this it helpswith all volume i believe
i hope it helps

thx i'll try that...
The SRS wow gave me alot of problems i didnt hear any sound?! not from both the phone speaker and the music speaker?! Removed it now soft reset and everithuing was fine...
I'll let u know if this audio para works

it must be helpful however I have downloaded it on my Touch Pro but either it opens as an excel file or the format is not recognized. As I am no software professional like most of my unseen freinds here can someone help me out in the lay man's language about how to utilize this good work done on audio para.
Thanks in advance....

Audio para does'nt show up in prgrams or startmenu or settings

Version 1.2.10.0 worked great for me on the Stock ROM without the bloat, and now on NATF's 4.4 Standard. I installed it on my device from the cab, rebooted and it was good to go. tvos has a great thread on it, he attached the cab and describes the patterns he has seen for which ones worked and didn't work on the 4 Raphael's he has gone through. His thread is here:

I got my Audio_Lighter_Boost.cab from aruppenthal's thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=467592#6
It worked perfectly for me on NATF's ROM. He also describes how to utilize the audiopara tweak.

All you need to do is use total commander and copy the new audiopara file to the windows directory. It will ask if you want to overwrite the audiopara file that is already there. click yes to overwrite the file, restart, and then enjoy the louder volume.

WMP hijacking BT controls in some custom builds

I think is should be the correct forum for this. If any of you use core player, nitrogen, pocket music, or whatever, you'll notice that windows media player often hijacks your bluetooth controls. I've noticed this in quite a few pre cooked roms, but not when I cook my own using the kitchen. Is this a bug or a feature of the chefs and can it be disabled?

What you want is a stock "BTHCI.DLL", if i recall correctly

To clarify what Da_G just said . . .
Da_G said:

Click to collapse
the stock BTHCI.DLL for WM 6.1/Raphael does as you describe. WMP is always controlled by AVRCP, no matter what player you're using (unless it's HTC Music Player). The modified BTHCI.DLL that Da_G provided for WM6.5 corrects that "issue" by allowing other media players to access AVRCP control. However, this breaks the AVRCP functionality of HTC Music Player.
If you prefer to use the 6.5 BTHCI.DLL file, I made a cab install of it:
T-Back 6.5 BT Driver.cab
Thanks to Da_G for providing the updated driver!
P.S. The reason you don't have the issue when cooking in Da_G's 6.5 Kitchen is because Da_G included it in the "Mods" folder.

wow man, you guys rock. Thanks G and thank you captain for the cab. You guys and this community just make every visit fantastic. Thanks a lot for this. Windows media player was driving me nuts.

I have a Sprint Touch Pro and was a little frustrated that I couldn't use the AVRCP controls from my BT8010 with my favorite mp3 player Pocket Music. When I found this thread, I was excited to use the T-Back 6.5 BT Driver and it worked very well! The play/pause and skip/next features work well within PocketMusic! However, now in order to get the audio to play through my bluetooth headset, I need to go to my Bluetooth settings and disconnect then connect my BT8010 before it works.
Has anyone run into this problem too?

Caption_Throwback, You are my Hero!!!!! I have been without AVRCP controls since last May. I use Pocket Player, as it has many controls that I need, but I've been frustrated by their lack of support on this problem.
I will be sending you $$ tomorrow morning.
Wendy, now in N. Calif, but a Bristol Gal born & raised!

Da_G & Captian_Throwback, YOU GUYS are True PPC PIMPS..
Thanks....

thank you for this!
it this "only" for WM6.5?
would be nice for WM6.1 too

Works on 6.1

I'm on an at&t fuze, WM6.1, works like a charm. I mean, all the time, everytime. I use Pocket Player from Conduits for my media player. I have Forward xx seconds and Pause/play again. Life is Good! ps, I don't use Windows Media player, so can't say if it works or not.

you are so right - thank you so much

Thanks for this cab file - I've been looking for an answer for this for ages!
I've installed the cab and bt headset no longer starts up wmp, but still cannot get it to control Coreplayer - do I need to set it up somehow elsewhere, like ACRCP app, and if so, what settings should I use?
Many thanks

It works fine with CorePlayer for me without doing anything. Did you soft reset after installing the cab and/or restart CorePlayer?

Yes mate - done all that. I am using Energy rom 6.5
Maybe I'll try reinstalling Coreplayer or something

Just found this thread and wondering if it will help me. I am presently using NRG's energy ROM for the touch diamond 2 (6.5)
Since going to the 6.5 ROM, BT control only links to WMP but I want it to link to HTC Audio Manager. Will this cab have the desired effect?

Sorry, dont know too much about this but you say it breaks the functunality for htc audio player - it is already not responding to this program. My aim is to disable windows media player funtionality and then somehow create a link to htc audio manager. It probably cant be done but this is one of the few posts I have found that offered a glimmer of hope.
hope they resolve the issue on future ROMs

Unfortunately, you can't have it both ways .
The BT driver included in the ROM you're using is the same one posted in this thread as a cab. It enables AVRCP for all other players (and prevents WMP from launching when trying to use AVRCP controls with another app), but doesn't work with the HTC Music Player. The "stock" BT driver will restore the AVRCP functionality of HTC Music Player, but if you want to use a player other than that one or WMP, then AVRCP won't work at all; it'll simply launch WMP.
P.S. Just to clarify - with the stock BT driver, WMP does NOT override HTC Music Player AVRCP control. So if that's all you're trying to accomplish (for it to behave as the stock ROM), that is doable.

Can you make one for TOPAZ?

Listen to music using mono Bluetooth Headset

Hello!
I´m planning to buy a mono ("one-ear") BT headset to get my calls on the go, but I´d also like to listen to my musics on it.
I´ve done some research on google about any hack or program that would let me do this, however I don´t know if these programs work on WM 6.5, because they´re a little old.
Has anyone tried or is still using a program that works on nowadays cellphones (like Touch HD)? I just need this to buy a mono BT headset.
The programs I´ve heard of are: Bluetooth Audio v1.0, BlueAudio, BlueMusic.
Thank you very much in advance!

BlueTooth Audio 1.0 works with 6.5/6.5.x.
This is not a software release and does not belong in this category. See "Questions".

Moved as not software release.

Sorry for posting in the wrong area.
I´m gonna buy the BT earphone and tell if it worked.
Thanks!

It should definately work if you get BlueAudio3 as I use it every day Rollerblading with a mono bluetooth (SE HBH-PV740). Have fun!
