I'm having problems using my Raphael in combination with a JVC KT-BT1 car stereo.
When, for example, I'm running TomTom, and the phone is connected to the car stereo, all sound is sent to the car stereo through A2DP. No problems there, BUT: the start of each route description is cut off. It looks like the connection has to be set up every time TomTom says something.
One way to solve this is to keep for example a media player running in the background, so that the A2DP connection 'stays alive'. This is however obviously not a nice way to fix this.
I must say that I've had the very same problem with my previous phone (N95), so I'm kind of suspecting it to be a stereo's problem. However, I do hope someone else has come across this issue and knows how to fix this.
Is there a 'A2DP_keep_alive = true' setting somewhere?
Thanks!
There was a setting for this afaik, it is somewhere in the Hermes section. I tried it, but it has a downside as well (although maybe there's a fix for that as well). It has to do with redirecting sound over bluetooth and keeping that connection open.
Having a carkit myself, I wanted to use it like this: the radio plays and whenever a direction is needed, tomtom would announce it via the car speakers. However, in my case, when tomtom announces via the speakers, the radio mutes as the carkit takes over.
When using the hack where the "connection" is kept open, the carkit takes over all the time, which basically means no music from the radio.
If your carkit can work alongside the radio at the same time, then maybe this is a solution for you.
Check out (in hermes forum, so not 100% if it works for Raphael):

If there's a better fix I'd like to know as well.
Thanks, but unfortunately it didn't change a thing.
If there's so few people having this problem, I'm really suspecting my car kit...
I have a parrot CK3100 btw, so it happens with a different carkit as well.

Hi,
I've got a problem with my carkit (O2 XDA-Carkit) after I upgrade to the new ROM-Version of T-Mobile (1.60).
With the old Rom-Version, the carkit works as a loadspeaker for all kind of sound. The voice-instructions from tomtom for example, came out of the carkit-speaker loud and clearly. Each kind of sound, the device made, came out of the speaker of the carkit.
Now, after upgrading to the new ROM, only the telephone works with the speaker of the carkit. With Incoming or outgoing calls I can use the carkit as usual...the speaker works and the mikro works also. But every other sound (e.g. tomtom voice-instructions) came direktly out of the speaker of the mda2 in a poor quality.
Some hints, how I could use my carkit again as a speaker for all kind of sound without goinig back to the old ROM ?
Any other kind of hints...maybe to use a bluetooth headset therefor (so that all kind of sound came out of the headset....not only telephone...I've got a Plantronics Headset...but also only the telephone works)
thx for help
best regards
rob.
Yep.......I have the same problem here.......don't know why they changed settings on the handsfree profile here.
Another thing you will find out is that the charging is very slow on the XDA carkit with the XDA II. If you run TomTom, Yeti and a bright screen the xda II will not charge, but drain!!
It has something to do with the wiring of the interface, but unless someone will come up with a solution I will go for a new carkit or a BT solution. (It's a bloody shame though it doesn't work properly with the XDA carkit! :evil: )
Hi,
the charging-problem is also a mess.
I think, the problem is only the GPS-driver from tomtom. In my tests, only when the GPS-driver is loaded, the battery-power goes down. With stopping the GPS-driver, the battery will charge again, but only, if the battery-power is more than about 75 - 80%.
If the battery is less than 75%, it will not charge at all, even if, there is no App runnung and the screen is off.
You said, you will go for a new carkit or bluetooth-solution. Do you know a carkit or bluetooth-solution, wich offers the feature, that all sounds (tomtom instuctions...etc.) came out of a loadspeaker or thru a headset (without connecting the wired headphone ;-)
As far as I know, at the moment all devices works only with the telephone-funktion....
best regards

Same here,
i have build my own carkit, and have put ground to pin 19,
sound was normally going though the connector to my car stereo
now it doenst anymore :evil:
I am sure this isnt a hardware thing it is software
could be the settings on the handsfree profile. on the xda2...
this is very very frustrating. just being finished with my carkit and now i cant use it anymore
also you cant set the phone to speakermode anymore..
I am sure this isnt a hardware thing it is software
could be the settings on the handsfree profile. on the xda2...

Does anybody know how to change this back?
I found that the registry points to a certain file in your windows directory: HandsFree_Dll.dll
(I found this here: HKLM\Services\Handsfree)
Can someone with the old 1.03 ROM please upload this file so i can try if this solves the problem...
TIA,
Max
Akira, Max :
I am building my own car kit, and have no success.
I do not obtain audio out with or without grounding pin 19.
I'm running Rom 1.60.00WWE.
Did you solve your problem ??
I must correct my last update.
I obtain audio when in phone mode, but not during playing waves or TomTom directions. Even Ring Tones do not go out trough the bottom connector.
So is it a software problem ?
Can it be corrected ?
Hi Everyone,
I had a strange thing happen to me in the car the other day and I was wondering if anyone had any views on it. As my phone linked up to the cars BT hands free kit the radio cut out as if I was making a call.
To get the radio on I had to turn BT off on the phone.
Interestingly enough when this happened I had Audio manager running. And right enough I played a track and it came out on the cars speakers. This would be quite useful only I havent managed to repeat it yet.
Certainly I get a bit of music in the 'gaps' when I make a call if audio manager is running but that is it.
Cheers,
Andy
!!! come on guys !!!! someone give me some feedback !!!
BUMP
Anyone ? Please ...
i believe theres is a program called bttoggle or btcicle, which routes audio to bluetooth on running it, i use it to route audio thru my bt headset once in a while, a simple search for bttoggle or something like that should sort it, i wonder if i can upload it here... mods if this file is not allowed please delete...
oh the way i use it is i just kept those files on my storage card and put a shortcut for the btaudiotoggle in the programs folder...thats it..click to turn on audio to bluetooth, click again to turn off..
You might want to check if your Wizard is paired with the car BT using A2DP in addition to handsfree mode. If so, that could explain it -- to fix it, just turn off the A2DP pairing on the Wizard, then re-establish the connection when you want to use the Wizard as an audio player.
No A2DP
Nah just a parrot hands free kit in the car. just wanted to be able to play through it as well as making phone calls.
I have NBD 9.1 on my Wizard and am experiencing the following troubles:
as soon as my carkit recognises the Wizard, the radio mutes and all sounds of the Wizard sound through the car speakers. I only want my carkit to 'turn on' when a call comes in or when I place a call.
I did not have this with earlier WM6 roms. Cannot find a place where I can turn this feature off ...
Any suggestions are welcome !
Thanks,
Taco
Read the manual, instructions, etc. for your car kit.
Well I'm not an expert so I'm not really sure about this one. Go to settings->Connections->Bluetooth->Your Device then edit the properties and uncheck the stereo option or something. Maybe that might work.
Oddity odd
I had a similar problem with a previous rom but it only happened once or twice and afterwards I couldnt repeat it.
Oddly enough I would quite like to be able to do this deliberately ;-)
I could then download audiocasts onto my phone and listen to them through the
car speakers whilst I drive to work (via BT handsfree).
Hi if someone can help me it would be much appreciated. I just bought a Touch Pro and everything is working fine....except for one really annoying issue.
Whenever I connect my bluetooth to a headset, it shows connected but no sound is coming out. The sound is muted. when connected to my Audi, I see that the phone has bars (shows connected and I can dial the phone), but when I make a call no sound. Similarly on my SE HBH-DS970 headset. The A2DP works perfectly, but when I make a call nothing.....I've searched google and through XDA and no solution.
Can someone suggest a solution? I've soft/hard reset the device already. If I should change Radio ROM which one would someone suggest that's stable? Thanks
If no one else has this problem, can anyone at least suggest to me if this sounds like a Hardware or software issue? If hardware I will return it, but if software I will try to find a solution. Like I said the phone connects to BT, but I just can't get handsfree to work. File transfers and A2DP work. Thanks
Just flashed to UK ROM and still no help....I've read some people having the same problems over at the Diamond thread...I'm the only one answering my own thread here hahaha....if anyone can help I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
Hi,
I occasionally had such an issue with my Parrot CK3100, but I did not get the time yet to investigate further. After the call was connected I did not hear anything, and I am not sure whether the other party could hear me.
On another day, the handsfree was working perfectly OK.
Cheers
Michael
Thanks for replying Michael....I'm at a loss and I tried all the suggestions posted. I hope it's a software issue...I'm going to buy a bluetooth headset tomorrow and see if that works. It's not the end of the world, but annoying since all my ppc, s60, BB, and UIQ phones prior to the TP have not had any such issues.
Do you think it's a software issue?
have you tried playing music?
Yes.....A2DP works perfectly....no problems whatsoever with file transfers either....I'm guessing either it's a software problem or the phone has a new bluetooth software that's not agreeing with my older SE headset, but the car is another issue. The Car is 2007 and I'm sure the Bluetooth software is not that old. I've tried Euro WWE and Asian WWE ROM and no go.....I'm going to try the Cingular ROM and see what happens.
Just another quick update....I tried 2 other different bluetooth headsets and still the same problem... for some reason the sound for handsfree will not come through...anyone know of registry hack possibly that will allow sound to come through?
May not be entirely related to your problem...
Mine is worst...whenever I have paired my Jabra or iTech BT headset, when the phone rings, 8/10 times the phone will auto pickup (and no I did not setup the phone to auto pickup) and the it will NOT connect to the bluetooth. Instead it will be just like an auto pickup and the sound will come thru the phone headset. This is driving me nuts!!!!
Okay, I have searched and cannot find anything on this exact topic, so hear I go. Has anyone used a bluetooth handsfree car kit with the Diamond while using the internal GPS? I realize that you should be able to but with all of the issues people are having with the GPS and having to uncheck "receive all incoming beams" and all I thought it a good idea to check. I tried to use a bluetooth hands free with my bluetooth GPS on my Touch and realized that when a call comes in it looses satelite signal. I am hoping that I can use a bluetooth hands free with the Diamond (waiting for Rogers in Canada to get it) because I hear the built in speaker sucks.
Thanks in advance, Wayne>
Wow, 68 views and not one person has used a bluetooth hands free car kit with the GPS
Hi I have used GPS and bluetooth hands free at the same time no problems. Only issue I have had is when using Duttys rom with the experimental bluetooth drivers, and using gps, and on a phone call both me and the person on the other end of the call have heard the directions. I have moved to another ROM and don't have any problems.
I have connected the Diamond to my bluetooth radio and it works in hands-free mode without problems.
Navigating with TomTom and receiving or making calls at the same time is absolutely no problem.
EDIT: I use the official O2 1.93 German rom
Can you please confirm something for me - when i use TOMTOM with my bluetooth car unit there is a lag off a few seconds. E.g. instead of hearing you have reached your destination, it cuts off the first bit and all i can hear is destination. There is also a delay in the ringer. Is this ROM related? If i switch ROMs will it resolve this for me?
I have connected my phone via bluetooth to my car radio, but TomTom uses the phone's internal speaker, as my radio does not support A2DP, but only hands-free. Through the internal speaker the directions are without any lag.
Incoming calls are signalled on my radio after a short lag (1 second or so). I guess that is normal behaviour though.
what a bummer that is - it renders tomtom useless via a bluetooth device. my unit is a JVC AVX-33 which supports A2DP. So basically when tomtom says turn left in 100 yards etc, because of the lag i dont get to hear it. I have more like a 4 second lag
Is that also the case when you're streaming music over bluetooth to the radio while using TomTom?
Because I was also thinking about getting an A2DP capable radio for my car for this scenario. But if there is such a lag, TomTom would be completely useless over BT.
I have no problems with music at all. No lag what so ever. Looking back now, it just appears to be system sounds, which includes tomtom. When I change ringtone and click play, there is also a lag at that point
That's strange.
You could try Advanced Config and change some of the BT settings to see if that helps, though I don't see why system sounds lag and music does not.
Maybe someone else can shed some light on this problem?
I'd be grateful!
I have tried this solution without any luck
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=262119
Have you perhaps tried connecting your Diamond to another radio or other device that supports the A2DP profile?
Perhaps a PC or notebook with bluetooth?
You could then verify that it is indeed a problem with the phone itself and not with the radio.
I have the Supertooth Hands Free Kit, and it works pretty fine. I pair it, then start a connection, click two time on the Supertooth Button, and I even get the sounds of all Apps over the Hands free kit (GPS too).
For me it works fine.
I had no trouble with my Parrot kit and the Diamond running TomTom both with the Vodafone rom and 3rd party one from here. I have the trimmed voice commands using my Touch Dual but no such issue on the diamond. Navigation prompts come from the phones internal speaker and not my car kit.
That's interesting Blackfear gets GPS prompts through hands freee but wseed does not. The only reason I am considering getting a hands free unit is because I have heard the Diamond has a bad speaker. I was hoping to get all sound through the bluetooth speaker phone.

Really, that is not what I wanted to hear. Are you using a bluethooth hands free, and if so which one? How can it affect the internal GPS? My problem was because I was asking the phone to communicate with the bluetooth GPS, and the bluetooth hands free while announcing turns and phone conversation. I was hoping the internal GPS of the Diamond would not be affected at all by a bluetooth hands free.

I'am using a bluetouch handsfree set and as navigation tomtom 7. When a phonecall comes in, i have no satelites till i drop the call. Maybe this is a problem with my not standard skippy rom, but i don't know if this happens with the standard rom.

I just tested this, because i was curious - i never noticed this.
And i can confirm, answering a call with a BT handsfree while navigating. It doesn't affect the GPS. I can even stream music via A2DP to my car stereo at the same time, i hear the music and navigation instructions loud and clear without lag trough my car speakers.
So this problem might be ROM-related, not hardware... I hope this is good news
The ROM i use is the official one from HTC website : "_HTC Touch Diamond_QMR_RUU_Diamond_HTC_NLD_1.93.404.1_Radio_S igned_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship.exe"
The BT headset i use is a Jabra BT350
I stream A2DP to a small BT audio receiver, Sony MBR-100
I hope this helps!
edit :
I read somewhere in this topic about a lag trough the A2DP connection.
I actually can tell how much lag there is : 400 msec. Totally acceptable for Tom Tom i think..
I know this, because sometimes i use TCPMP for watching video's in the car, e.g. at McDonalds and i have to set the audio delay in TCPMP to -400 msec to get it lipsync
Thanks, Aldo it's not a big problem for me with my build in navigation system, it's nice to know that it's rom related.
