Hello everyone,
I have a somewhat cryptic and annoying problem here. I use an HTC Touch HD (Blackstone) with a hama BSH-240 BT stereo headset. The headset is a four-button one (play/pause, stop, vol up, vol down) with long presses and dual-presses serving as extra keys. It's about one year old, and I used it with my iPAQ rw6815 before switching to Blackstone. Always worked perfectly.
Call me a perv, but I rather like TouchFLO 3d, and it, too, worked for me just fine for two months. Then, SUDDENLY.
Well, not so suddenly, actually, because I did a few things with my phone the day before I ran into the problem: uploaded a few more tracks onto my card, built a new playlist in WMP, and tried a wired headset (since I wanted to listen to a certain radio show).
The first sign of trouble (not sure if it's related at all) was that HTC Audio Manager didn't see my new WMP playlists - I tried it building a new one a couple of times to no effect. I simply started playing from the All Music list (fine by me, that's what my primary playlist is anyway), but then I noticed that the Audio Manager no longer responded to the Play/Pause button on my headset. All other buttons worked fine, and I'm pretty sure it's not a hardware problem, since the long press on the same button works okay (it's 'repeat last call').
The usual rain dancing didn't help at all (remove/add the Audio Manager tab, re-pair the headset, soft reset) and looking through the TouchFLO/WMP/WM options gave me no clues either.
I googled for hints and searched the forums as well, but didn't find anything of relevance.
I do not expect a magic solution for this, but perhaps someone has run into this problem before me and can give me some hints?
Sorry if I'm missing something obvious, could be a dumb moment on my part.
Thanks in advance
Sorry for bumping this, but I have some new information about my problems.
First of all, I made sure the hardware is okay by digging up my old iPAQ and pairing my headset to it. Everything works top-notch.
Moreover, when WMP is running on my Touch HD, all the headset controls work in it. (This means the device is fully usable after all, but I really like the Audio Manager a lot more.) I have a weird feeling WMP somehow hijacked AVRCP from HTC Audio Manager.
Any ideas on how to fix it, perhaps?

hey guy,
I'm having problems getting this thing to work properly, i've searched and searched and can't seem to find anyone else with this problem:
Device pairs fine and seems to function perfectly as a handsfree, however, using media player the audio comes out of the phone even as the 'click' sound effects are coming out the headset! Can't seem to get any audio from media player or core player to come out the headset, the 'htc streaming media player' uses the headset but you can't open files etc using that.
I've tried with WM5 and WM6, same results.
Anyone faced this problem before?
Hi
I've just purchased this headset last week and am thoroughly impressed by it so far. There's not much info on it out there but theres a few characteristics I've found out about this headset; i wonder if you can help me confirm them.
- It seems like when you take the headset off your head it automatically turns off? at first I thought mine was faulty but this behaviour was quite consistent and I figured it was just a power saving feature.
- seems like it likes to turn by itself if idle quite fast.
- need to manually set the device as hands free for it to actually work as a hands free
- unable to use the mic when connecting to pc. I wanted to use it for my sip client on the pc but alas the microphone function doesn't register? What should I be doing to make this work?
In regards to your problem; I'll outline the steps I take to use mine.
1. turn on headset
2. turn on trinity bluetooth from comm manager
3. go to bluetooth settings from settings
4. touch and hold down the nokia bh501 item until the drop down menu appears ,then select "set as wireless audio" or similar
--> you should hear a sound, if you can hear this then it will work, if theres nothing
--> alternatively, select hands free if you want to use it as hands free!
5. open your favorite mp3's and it should work fine.
Does this work for you? Btw im using Mun's TE wm6 rom. What rom are u using?
Eureka!
Your post made me realise I had only tried the headset with AAC files and not MP3 and guess what? The headset only works with MP3 files! Although this is probably a limitation of the trinity.
I can also confirm it doesn't work with nerodigital video files.
I'm using the GPS enabled WM5 Ship ROM.
I'll do some more tests on different media files, it would be a real shame if we're limited to only MP3s...
EDIT: Wow the sound quality is amazing and the bass is fantastic!
I haven't tried playing AAC files because I haven't got any...I specifically converted all my formats so I could use GS player. I'm pretty sure the headset can play WMA as well..I haven't really tested...
The next thing I notice is this constant high pitch ringing or hissing sound...It's very uncomfortable.
I've seen reports of this all over the forum in regards to the Triity, let's hope there is a fix available soon.
wma file work.
i have wm6 and a motorola ht820 and it works great. the only thing is that the perfomance of the trinity decrease while i'm using the bluetooth-headset.

To be completely honest, i've never posted on this forum, and i'm not sure whether this the right section to post this sort of thread in or not...
a few days ago i ordered a pair of MOTOROLA bluetooth stereo headphones from NEWEGG, and tried pairing them with my phone so i could play my music form it (i have an HTC 8125)
To my dismay, i was quite incapable of playing my music through my headphones, for some unknown reason to me. i promptly went online and searched for a solution to my problem
one solution i found would be to completely re-install a different type of custom firmware, over my WM5.0, THEN install another program that would to this
I decided that would be too much work, so i tried BLUECAST with windows' .NET framework 2.0
This worked, but the sound was muffled and TERRIBLE. my suggestion: NEVER USE BLUECAST
anyway, it was only a trial for bluecast and not the real thing so i only got 60 seconds of music before it quit
RIGHT as i was about to give up and return the headphones, i noticed a little bluetooth icon on the toolbar on the bottom of my screen, which was adjacent to a few other icons, all part of a program called BATTERY STATUS, which i had previously downloaded for the OVERCLOCKER to run my GBA emulator
As it is, when i clicked on the bluetooth icon, the first thing you can select is "A2DP"
When i saw this, i almost had a heart attack. i clicked it, then went to my bluetooth connections and clicked my stereo headset, and there was a third, new option: "STEREO MUSIC" (or something like that)
MORAL OF THE STORY:
Battery status can be used to enabled A2DP on my HTC 8125, and will probably work on any other phone with battery status installed
AN ADDITIONAL NOTE: i only discovered the A2DP feature of BATTERY STATUS *after* messing with some other stuff, like installing .NET framework 2.0 and some other misc. things
Hope this can help anyone else with a similar problem

you should still go for a new WM6.1 ROM. The A2DP quality of all pre-WM6 ROM's (incl. officila factory ones) is dismal with most headphones. See my related articles.
Actualluy the quality is utterly fantastic. there's nothing fuzzy about it, and i can still use the forward, reverse, pause, and play buttons on the headphones to control the music.
also, i don't know where to get the WM6.1 rom. what other features does it have better than 5.0?
SOLVED!!!
Hi there,
Ever since I have my Touch Diamond and My cherished Nokia A2DP headset, I've been enjoying wireless music, calling and everything at the touch of a few buttons on my headset.
Recently I finally flashed to winmo 6.5, and I also decided that Touchflo was costing me too much precious memory. So I flashed to a nice clean rom (BsB).
Everything cool so far, that is, until I tried my BT headset. With out the touchflo player you're automatically dependent on windows media player, and if there is one piece of software that makes listening to music a b*tch it's wmp. So I installed pocketmusic. Everything fine so far. but the controls on my bt headset stubbornly only work with AND automatically start WMP. very irritating. after extensive searching of the beloved XDA forums I found out that this was a known problem. WMP Hijacking BT controls.
And finally it appeared I had found the solution: T-back's 6.5 BT driver.cab
This was supposed to give back the control of Bluetooth to the program running at the moment. all the coments left in said thread were joyous, it works, it's alive...
So I installed it, and too my suprise it did indeed stop WMP from hijacking the controls and also assigned the controls to pocketmusic...
Unfortunatly it also stopped the audio from going to my Bt headset, which kind of beats the purpose of a bluetooth headset.
So now I'm back to listening to music without T-back's driver, on my BT headset, and having to control my music on screen, which is a little irritating.
I've allready replied to the thread in hopes of getting a solution or something, but unfortunatly no reply.
I'm hoping someone beter technically endowed than me can give me a solution for this problem, this is the only thing standing between me, and my perfect rom!
HELP
Note, I tried this on 2 different winmo 6.5.1 rom's (benko's clean and the BsB 6.5.1)
note2: could this maybe be something having to do with the difference between 6.5 and 6.5.1?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I don't know about the ROM being the problem. You can try pocket player. It supports AVRCP by default. It also has a lot more features than Pocket Music.

Same problem there, i've tried them both.
you wouldn't happen to knwo what the latest version was by any chance?
I had a version which I had to import a dll, to get exclusivity for a2dp controls.
Which also didn't work for me
*edit* Never mind, it's 4.1 ;-)
But it's not really the solution I'm looking for, I want to fix the problem internally (so I can use a2dp for any program I want, for example S2P)
*edit 2*
Tried it, still not working, it's still starting WMP, even with the extra wmp plugin which Conduits recommends for this issue...
So still in need of assistance
Crap! It turns out I have the same problem using ENERGY ROM, but hadn't notice since the volume control on my HT820 works OK. I'm actually using HTC Audio Manager (manila) so I don't get WMP, is just the FWD / REV controls on the headphones don't work. Looks like Conduits will provide a fix for their player in the next release.

Nope, there not fixing it, that is the fix, it's a DLL file. the problem he's having is he isn't able to check the box to override wmp control. which you can do by selecting it, and then pressing the enter key on your virtual keyboard, unfortunatly the fix did not work for me
this is the dll file you need to put into your player directory, which you can then configure through the plugins tab in pocket player itself (after soft reset)
Try it, maybe it'll work for you, it didn't for me
volume control does work for me as well though, but it's the only thing taht's working
Solved
Thanx to Zänker
You should install the two files from these posts.
With this one you can toggle a2dp manually once your headset is connected:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437726
The following makes it toggle automatically after you connect your headset:

(you should have the t-back driver installed as well)
Worked for me, using the bsb 6.5.1g rom and s2p media player.

Is that player dependent ?
I usually use Pocket Tunes, and never had this issue with 6.5 builds (I indeed use BsB 6.5.1G atm). If it helps i use Sony-Ericsson HBH-DS970...

I had this problem with all the players I tried (except WMP, which was the culprit)
In case you're interested...
Juts fixed my AVRCP problem using HTC Audio Manager in NRG's ROM. I installed this version of audio manager and everything is working fine.

a2dp
A2DP doesnt work in my htc p3400i too after upgrading to wm 6.5 and it works in 6.1 ?
Trying to to get Google Navigation voice instructions to come through my bluetooth car kit but no joy - Phone is paired with the kit and phone calls come through the kit great ..... Am I missing a setting somewhere in the Car Panel settings I have car kit options as follows: Aito Connect ON and the car kit is selcted as the deault device ...
won't work if the car radio offers just the headset protocol. a2pd must be supported too soll all sounds from the droid will be relayed, like to normal headphones.
Thanks, how can I check if the car kit supports a2pd ??
Ok just checked a bit more about the car kit, it's supposed to sream stereo music so I'm assuming that means it supports A2PD ??
it should. when you connected, go to the bluetooth settings, find the car radio, long tap on it and look in the options if there are 2 checkmarks. 1 is for using as headset, second for media. make sure both are checked, that should do it.
Hello, you should need to put your car kit into audio stream mode... I've got Pioneer radio with BT and when I want to listen music from phone through BT I have to change the source on the radio to BT media stream, otherwise I won't hear the sound. If call is coming radio switch to phone call mode automatically.
thanks got it working, there is a button on the CDPlayer/Bluetooth Unit to switch to A2DP, the moral is always read the manual properly !
i guess i have a reason to continue within this thread:
i don't get the directions vom google navigation too. but, and that's the difference, it work's great with music - which i use all the time - und other apps like sygic. only the google navigation causes trouble.
to be more precise: the directions ARE played, but at such a low volume i can't really hear anything. all the volume-sliders are up to max, but that doesn't show any effect.
so i guess for some reason there's more of a software-issue in my case, since all this worked flawlessly on my former moto milestone.
i do remember it worked in the beginning. maybe rooting the device (and s-off via xtc-clip) started all that, but since i don't use it that often i can't really tell if that's really the case.
so, any ideas?

You'll need to increase media playback volume when you hear the voice prompt. Just press + volume button on the side and bring it to desired level.
I also have some issues with my Parrot 9100 kit. Beginning of the words are cut-off and then you can hear the announcement. I had the same problem with my Desire (not a Desire S) and I solved the problem by installing custom Ginger Villain Rom.
Now I have the same problem with the Desire S.
I guess there must be something with the HTC radio or Sense.
@aenis
thanks for your reply... but since i'm experienced in using g-navi i have already thougt of that, and media (and navi-) volume is, as i've said before, up to max...
Hello. I have headset: creative fatality hs-800, in computer work without a problem. When attaching them to HTC One S and listen to music on the phone about an hour automatically rewinds the music stops or changes to another. The same thing was happening on hd2 with android. Please help or clarification
Same thing was happening to me when I was on the HD2, now on One S with no issues. If I remember correctly there were a few things I tried.
1. Downloaded wxMP3val, just google it, its a free download to clean up MP3's. (windows)
2. Used a 4-conductor (TRRS) type phone connector, look at wiki page (phone connector audio), Looks like yours would be this type, not sure about that. This seemed to work for me on HD2 running WM6.5.
3. Could also use "Sound About" app from Play Store to set the audio path to, Speakers, Headphone with Mic, etc. there is an option for to the app to decide, but did not work for me, had to set manually each time I plugged in and out, kinda a pain but a work around for 4.2 based Roms for One S.
Hope this helps, Good Luck!
Go to the marketplace and search for: "Headset blocker" by roadkill. It will prevent you from changing tracks using the controller on the headphone wire, but at least your music won't change randomly.
Hope that helps!
my HD2, HD7, and OneS all had this problem with my seinhieser, klipsch, and generic headphones... I think there's something up with HTC
